All language subtitles for Tombstone 1975--

Whiskey.

We ain't got
no whiskey.

Cold beer.

We ain't got
no cold beer.

What are they
drinking?

Warm beer.

Give me
a warm beer.

How far is it
to tombstone?

Hey, cowboy,
how far to tombstone?

Who wants
to know?

Bartender:
This gentleman here.

He want to know
how far to tombstone.

Depends

Whether he can
ride or not.

Maybe a day,
maybe three days.

For a dude,
maybe a month.

You a gambler,
cowboy?

Yeah.

I gamble, dude.

Play you
for the lady.

I ain't gonna play
for the lady.

Why not?

'cause me and her's
in love.

I'm gonna take her out to
the ranch. Have a big wedding.

Raise cattle. Live happy ever after.

You're talking cow shit,
ike clanton.

Let's play one hand.
Five-card stud.

My horse
against your, uh,

Lady.

You don't
own me, ike.

Then let's say
I done rented you.

yeah.

Why don't you play the
gentleman for the rent?

Sit down, dude.

Hey, bring us
some cards.

Bartender: We ain't
got no cards.

I got some cards.

you don't think I'd play
with your cards, do you?

Look them over.

I guess
they look okay.

Let's let the lady
cut for deal.

She cut for you first,
then for me.

Pair of tens.

You can reach for it
if you want to, cowboy.

But if you do, you're gonna
end up with two assholes,

And one of them is gonna
be right between your eyes.

Now, get the hell
out of here.

I'll see you
in tombstone, dude.

Could be.

Got a room?

In there.

Let's go.

The name's john holliday.
Doc, some people call me.

Kate elder.

I'm gonna need
a tub of hot water.

We ain't got
no hot water.

God damn it, build a
fire and heat some water!

I gotta wash
this bitch.

Where are you
going, dude?

Tombstone. I gotta see
somebody there.

Woman?

No. A friend.

I'm ready.

This is the ass end
of the west, doc.

It ain't even
got a name.

I had a ride to tombstone with
that clanton. At least that far.

You busted that up.
You won me.

Look, lady, where I go, I go
alone. I don't travel with anybody.

Okay.

Let's go.

That's $3.50 you owe me
for the food and the room.

Doc: 3.50?

Here's four.
Keep the change.

Doc, when are we
gonna get some water?

Not till we see the mountains.
We got a long ride yet.

Now we can have
some water.

Thank jesus.

Son of a bitch.

It's vinegar.
Mexican greaser.

Vinegar.

Oh, doc.

Come on now, we got to save our energy.

We got a long ride
to those mountains.

Kate: Bastard. Still
fighting the mexican war.

doc...

Doc...

it's you.

Where are we?

Mountains.

We should be in tombstone
tomorrow afternoon,

If we are
where I think we are.

We got something
to eat?

Well, there's some salt beef and
beans right there next to the fire.

Beans
make you fart.

well,
just stay away from me.

Bastard.

Whore.

Killer.

What do you mean,
"killer"?

I figured you
for a gunfighter

The minute you walked into
that pigsty back there.

The way you walked with your
right hand hanging loose.

The way you looked around
the room like there was

A rattler hiding
in the pickle barrel.

A little baby gun
you keep in your vest.

Been on the line
four years, doc.

Gotta learn something.

I ain't killed a man
in a long time.

I ain't screwed a man
since I was 12.

You cleaned me up. You
got real doctor's hands.

Dentist's.

Dentist?

Yeah. I was
a dentist once.

What do you
think of that?

Any good?

Well, it's not bad.

Good.

Doc?

I ain't never done it
in the mountains before.

Now, look, we gotta start
early in the morning.

Good night.

Mean,

Rat-livered,

Heartless,
lonesome creature.

Listen,
katie elder...

What?

If you're gonna break wind,
would you turn the other way?

'cause you're aimed right at the
fire, and you might blow us both up,

And I've got to get
to tombstone.

Suck grass.

"lonesome. "

Straighten up,
woman.

You gonna get your picture took, doc?

Could be.

Is that your friend, the
one you're looking for?

That's probably
the mayor.

Some of your friends?

Oh, just a few
working girls, doc.

Servants for
the likes of you.

She looks like she does most
of her serving with her mouth.

End of the
line, kate.

Much obliged.

See you
around, dude.

Hey, curly. Howdy, pretty lady.

You a prospector?
That's right.

Why don't you stick with
me? I'll bring you luck.

Man: New girl in town!

the name's kate.

Man: Hey, you staying for a while?

Well, if this town's got
any action, I'm staying.

Man: Where are
you going?

Kate: Right across the square.
Come round, the name is kate.

Open up, sisters!

Back to work.

I'll need a bottle
of whiskey, a bath

And a place
to put my horse.

I'll have a boy
take care of that.

Do you know
wyatt earp?

The marshal?

Tell him
doc's in town.

Hello, wyatt.

Hello, john.

Let's go get a drink.

Five whiskeys
here.

Tonight's the night we teach the
kid how to drink some rye whiskey.

Oh, leave the kid alone, ike. He don't
drink whiskey. He don't even like beer.

Johnny ringo.

Oh, concha!

Maybe what the kid really needs

Is to get his
pole greased.

Me, oh, my!
Fresh meat!

That's something concha
knows how to treat good, huh?

Come on, let me see it. Let me see it!

No, concha's not gonna hurt you, baby.

concha...

Well, well, well.
Look who's here.

Hello, cowboy.

Hello, dude.

Play some cards?

Excuse me,
gentlemen.

Mmm?

Oh.

Ike: Son
of a bitch!

Forget it, ike! He's packing and you ain't!

I see
you've met ike.

I ran into him.

What's that
all about?

Ike, his
brother billy.

Frank mclowery,
his kid brother.

Little guy's johnny ringo. Troublemakers.

They trying to make
trouble for you?

For anybody. They're
bad people, john.

Well, if it weren't
for bad people,

What would you do
for a living, marshal?

Tell me about tombstone. I mean,
more than what you said in the letter.

It's wide open.

The sheriff here,
johnny behan,

Doesn't know how
to organize a town.

So I'm going to run
against him in the election.

The sheriff's got
all the power here.

The marshal's got a badge,
he's got some territory,

But he's got no jurisdiction in the town.

Gambling's heavy.

There's a lot of money
around. It's wide open.

So you organize the
gambling. Start right here.

I run the law,
you run the gambling.

We'll both
end up rich.

Very rich.

We sound like
bad people, wyatt.

We are, john.

A little game,
companero?

And 10 more.

Man: Whoo!

Ike: Puta! Puta! My
little fort griffin puta!

Hello, ike.

Come back to see old ike, did you?

Well, not quite.

Let me see those cheetahs, lovebird.

You better get a note from
your ma first, burro brain.

Come here, bitch!

You stay out of this.

Outside.

You take off them guns,
get rid of that badge,

And I'll see if
you're man enough

To take me
outside, earp!

Another time,
ike. Move!

Come on! I'm gonna stay a while, ringo.

Okay, but you
watch your ass,

Because that wyatt earp
ain't right in his head.

Your five,

And 20 more.

Very impressive.

Plays a nice game.

Nice to see you,
miss kate.

Hello, kid.
How are you?

Mr. Earp?

Mr. Holliday.

I'll be right back.

Get him, virgil!
Come on! Get in there!

You got him, boy.
Come on.

Come on. Come on, we've
got people coming in an hour.

Push it. Push it.
You got him.

Come on, let's
straighten up.

Just a little
bit more.

James, virgil, morgan.

Howdy, brother.

We got people coming
in an hour.

You know, maybe we should've put
the pigs somewhere else for the day.

You mean
virgil and morgan?

Let's go
get a drink.

Hi, mark,
how you doing?

Hi, how are you?
Nice to see you.

I'm gonna try.
Thank you.

It's not an easy thing to ask a man who's
carried a gun all his life to give it up.

That's pretty much it. Pretty much,
I guess, the way we'll conduct it,

Just getting everybody
around, talking to them.

Excuse my hand.

Thank you very much.

He's the fastest, and I'd
say he's the deadliest,

And I'd say he's
about the best.

Boy: All dressed in black,
pa. All in black.

That's really
doc holliday?

Man 1: That's him, son. Take
a good look and remember.

James, say hello
to john.

Hello, james.

Bless you, doc.

Man 2: I see earp has
brought in the artillery.

He sure must want
them clantons bad.

Man 3: What
do you mean?

Man 2: I encountered him in dodge.

Him and wyatt killed
a lot of people.

He's wyatt's
heavy guns.

Man 3: If holliday's
as good as I hear,

The clantons better start
thinking about moving on.

Mattie?

Hello, mattie.

doc holliday!

Man 4: How old
a man is he?

Man 5: Hard telling.

Talk says he's got the
consumption, had it for years.

Talk says he's
already dying.

Fears no one in a fight 'cause
he's got nothing to lose.

Man 4: Do you
believe the talk?

Till I see
otherwise.

Wyatt: My friend, john
holliday. Sheriff johnny behan.

Doc.
Sheriff.

When you
leaving town?

But try
some of this.

Here's the man who supplied the whiskey.

Owner of the alhambra.
Bartlett, john holliday.

Nice to meet
you, doc.

Just a small campaign
contribution, wyatt.

Mattie: Wyatt!

Well, I'll leave you in
his hands for just a second.

Mattie is calling me.
I'll be right back.

Mattie:
Thank you, dear.

Doc, say hello
to mr. Clum,

The editor of the local
newspaper, the tombstone epitaph.

How long you planning
to stay in town?

Well, that depends.

On what?

Excuse me, now.

James.

son of a bitch.

Is there a chinaman
in town?

Yeah, at the end
of allen street.

Thanks.

Good night, sir.

Good night, wong.

Go with god,
as mexicans say.

I will. I will.

Kid: Mr. Holliday.
Hey!

It's me,
mr. Holliday.

Jesus christ, kid!

You almost got
your head blown off.

Listen, if you're gonna call
a man from the dark like that,

You better plan
on killing him.

Sorry,
mr. Holliday.

My uncles would go crazy if
they saw me talking to you.

Who?

Ike and billy
clanton.

They think wyatt earp brought
you into town to kill them.

Listen, kid, you go
tell your uncles

That doc holliday
is a gambler.

I don't kill people
for other people.

There's gonna be
trouble, mr. Holliday.

Not with me
there isn't.

Lots of trouble.

Wyatt don't like
ike clanton, or us.

I ain't sure why, but
there's gonna be bad trouble.

And that's why I came
to see you, mr. Holliday.

I want you to teach me how to shoot.

Why?

So you and your uncles
can kill wyatt better?

Hmm?

Or me?

Oh, no, mr. Holliday.
I'd never kill you.

Forget about guns.

Ike promised my mother
before she died

That he'd never let me
be a gunfighter.

So if drinking's
all right,

And punching cattle's
all right,

But shooting
ain't...

I gotta learn,
mr. Holliday.

Why'd you come after me,
and not somebody else?

'cause they say you're the best there is.

'cause I read all about you in
them dime novels, mr. Holliday.

'cause...

'cause you're
a legend.

All right, kid.

Now, wait...
Hold it, now.

Kid, you'd be
dead by now.

I mean, fanning's all
right. It's very fast,

But it's not
very accurate.

And accuracy is much
more important than speed.

You see,
the important thing is

To get your arm
all the way out,

So you have the target
right in your sights.

That's important.

And the other important thing is
to relax, so you can concentrate.

Okay.

Take your time.

That's good!
That's real good!

Nice shot.

Let's go home.

You know, sometimes I feel
like a goddamn school teacher.

Who taught you,
mr. Holliday?

My daddy.

Is he still alive?

No, no.

He went off
to fight in the war.

When they lost, that just about killed him.

By the time he got home,
everything he knew was gone,

Including me.

Where did you go?

Oh, I went up
to richmond first.

Then to baltimore.

My mother sent me up
there to get an education.

Do you, uh...

Sure.

Yeah, I studied
dentistry up there.

And then they told me that
I had to come to the west.

The doctors.
For my health.

After that, I ended up at fort griffin,

Then went
to dodge.

I've been all over.

D'you ever
go home?

every night.

Pistol-whip anybody
today, marshal?

Don't try me, ike.

One of these days,

I'm gonna have
to try mr. Earp.

Well, hello, dude.
You want to dance?

Man: Let's go.

God!

What time
you got, bartlett?

Just after 2:00.

Doc: Kate!
Where the hell is kate?

She's working.

Kate! Quiet! You'll wake the dead!

Kate!

excuse me, sir.

Come on, bitch,
get off your back.

What the hell
are you doing,

You son of a bitch? You're coming with me!

You crazy son of a bitch!
You put me down!

Take it easy.
Take it easy, now.

You... You crazy
son of a bitch!

That's right.
Come on, old girl.

No... I ain't got no
clothes on! I can't go...

Can't go down the street
with no clothes on!

Concha! Concha, get the law after this...

You crazy son of a bitch, put me down!

Concha, I love you!
Good luck, darling.

Doc holliday,
you bastard!

What the hell
is this?

You're off the line, kate.
I just retired you.

I'll see you
in the morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

This is for you.

What's... What's the
matter? Don't you like it?

It's beautiful.

it's beautiful.

You like it?
You really like it?

I love it.

Come on, put it on.

Okay.

Um,

I better take
a bath first.

Well, hurry up,
though, 'cause

We got places to go.

Wyatt: What do
you think?

I like it.

Okay, take it over
to the printer.

Morning.
Morning, wyatt.

Katie.
Morning, wyatt.

Come on.

Well,

Here it is.

Territorial prison in yuma
wouldn't suit us better.

Now, listen, a man's home is his castle.

Shit.
Come on.

Let's go inside.

Wait a minute.

Uh...

Uh, no, no.

Katie, wait, wait...
We got to do this right.

Somebody's going
to see us, kate! Wait...

that's
for backing out!

What if somebody
would have seen us? What...

Nice!

That son of a bitch.

What?

What's the
matter, doc?

The man who rented
this place to me

Promised he'd have it
cleaned before we moved in.

Well, clean, that's
the least of our...

We can have this place
cleaned in an hour, doc,

I mean, that's not a
problem. How's the bed?

Mmm.

It's a good bed.

Yeah.
Sturdy. Yeah.

It's big enough
for a midget.

you're
pretty skinny, dude.

Look at this place.
It's a mess!

Get some curtains up here,
get this window fixed,

It's all right.

And we got a table.

I'm sorry, kate.

I should have looked at the
place before I signed the deal.

Doc.

It's gonna be fine.

Wyatt: John?

he's asleep.

Will you wake him up,
please? It's important.

doc holliday?

Mmm-hmm?

Your friend wyatt's
at the door.

I know.

Get up.

Just a second, wyatt,
be right there.

Wyatt.

Someone held up the stage.
Got the gold shipment.

$80,000.

Eighty...

Want to go
after them?

I'll be right
with you.

Darling?
Yeah?

Can you give
me a hand?

Sure.

I've got to go.

Okay.

You don't mind,
do you?

No. I...

Tracks southwest, toward
the clanton spread.

Ike clanton?

It wouldn't be
ike clanton.

More likely
johnny ringo.

Billy: What the hell's
happening, kid?

Trouble, by the look of it.

Ike!

God damn it, ike,
what'd you do that for?

Ringo!

Where is that half-breed
son of a bitch?

Ain't seen him
in a couple of days.

Might be down in the
valley with the herd. Why?

'cause somebody held up the
gold shipment, that's why.

For $80,000,
that's why!

And sure as shit the law's gonna
be coming out here looking for us!

That's why!

Well, get off your asses and find him!

Hey, ike?

Got a couple of visitors,
way down in the draw.

Well, get
out of sight!

Get guns. Get hid.
Give me your gun.

I don't like it.
Mmm-hmm.

I'm gonna give you
fair warning, marshal.

Get off
of my ranch.

Looking for some
wells fargo gold,

And the man
who stole it.

Nobody here had anything
to do with that gold.

Now, we don't steal money.

Where's
johnny ringo?

I ain't seen him.

You're a liar,
ike.

A little different,
ain't it?

Marshal.

I'm gonna try you.

you ain't so much
without them guns,

Are you, earp?

You ain't shit.

That's enough, ike!

I ain't finished!

He is.

Get him the hell
out of here.

I'm gonna kill him.

Let it go, wyatt.

I'm gonna have
to kill him.

Forget it, wyatt,
it's over.

I'm gonna
kill him, john.

Where in the hell
you been, brother?

We thought
you was bushwhacked.

Morgan: Glad
you're back, wyatt.

Wells fargo offered a $20,000
reward for the holdup men.

Is that right?
Morgan: $20,000.

Yeah.

You go in and get us something to eat.

I'm hungry.

Want something
to eat?

I better go home

To kate.

James.

Virgil?

Yeah?

Is ike clanton
in town?

He's down at alhambra
right this minute.

Tell him
I want to see him.

Tell him I want to make
a deal with him.

What kind of deal?

Ike didn't hold up
the stage.

It's johnny ringo.

I want him.

You tell ike if he can
lead us to where ringo is,

He can have
the reward.

What the hell for?

Ike gets the money,

We get the credit,

We get the election.

Then we'll clean up
tombstone.

You mean clean out tombstone.

Go see clanton.

hello.

My god.

You like it,
flat ass?

Yes. I like it.

I got you a present.

For me?

It's a nightshirt.

What's it...

Um, special occasions?

you sweet bitch.

Come on,
break it up.

Man: Who the hell
are you?

I'm the marshal. You
boys are going to jail.

Hell we are!

Pick up your friend.
Let's go.

Wyatt. Starting to take the easy ones?

Kate: How did you get
to be a gambler, doc?

Just something I picked up along the way,

Like everything else.

How did you end up
on the line?

I was born to it.

You mean, working girls are born, not made?

no.

Nothing fancy. My ma was a whore, is all.

Did you ever meet
your father?

I don't think so.

You don't think so?

No, my ma said before
she died he was a cowboy.

I rolled around
with a lot of cowboys.

Afternoon, doc.

Afternoon, mr. Clum.

Going to the big
debate tonight?

I haven't really
thought about it.

Tell me, uh,

Why do you think wyatt wants
to be sheriff of tombstone?

He's already deputy marshal
of the whole territory.

You tell me.

Money?

How come johnny behan
isn't a rich man?

He's dumb.

He's honest.

You don't think
wyatt's honest?

Nope.

Oh, no.

What are you doing? He
was pushing me around!

What are
you doing?

Give me
that gun, boy.

Tim mccoy, marshal.
He drew on the kid.

We'll let a jury
decide that. Now, move.

Come on, move!
Easy, wyatt!

All right,
marshal, I'll...

I'll take care
of it.

I'll take
his gun.

Miss elder?

Hello, alley.

Um, come on in.

No, thank you.

What can I do
for you, then?

Have you ever thought
of going to church?

Not lately. Why?

Well, we would like
to see you go to church

At least once,
miss elder.

To get married.

Alley,

When I want preaching,

I'll go to church.

But for the moment,

When I'm on my knees,

It ain't in prayer.

We've all got stakes
in tombstone.

We'll be here when all the
others have gone on through.

So it's up to us to work
together for a better town,

And a better future.

Thank you.

Good evening,
bartlett.

Hi, doc.

All this politicking's
gonna ruin my business.

Now, I guess I've got to
make something very clear.

And that is that I'm in tombstone to stay.

I think all of us here want to stay.

I think we all want the
town to have a future.

But it can't have a
future unless it prospers.

And it can't prosper with
gunplay in the streets.

Now, there's only one way
to get rid of the gun.

And that's
to use the gun.

The law's gotta
be enforced.

But I hope you'll let me
get the job done for us,

For all
our families.

That's all.

I hope you all
get home safe.

Wyatt: Thank you.

What did you think
of the speaking, mr. Clum?

Not bad,

For patent medicine.

You know, mr. Clum,
I'm not a politician.

I'm a peace officer.

I think I know what
doc's after, marshal.

What do you want?

I want to win,
mr. Clum.

Good night,
marshal.

Mr. Clum?
Yes?

What do you think
it is

The doc's after?

I'd say, uh,

Size,

Some, uh,

Wild and permanent
gesture of, uh,

Size.

Wyatt: You're taking too long, ike.

I need ringo
before the election.

Suppose I change
my mind?

You made a deal, ike.

That's right. I get 20,000, you
get ringo, you get to be sheriff,

And I get to be dead?

You want my ass
all the way, earp,

And I don't figure it's worth
20,000 for me to help you.

You've gotta
deliver, ike.

I ain't gotta do shit.

I've got the kid
in jail.

He killed a man
this afternoon.

You're a liar!

Frank?

Where's the kid?

Huh?

I don't know.

You miserable
son of a bitch.

You deliver
ringo, ike.

Before
the election.

You'll get him.

It sure makes you
sleep good at night,

Knowing wyatt earp's
upholding the law, don't it?

Gotta put at least 1,000 on him, doc.

I think I can
cover that.

What do you want
to bail him out for?

Oh, just a sense of
civic responsibility.

I want him back in three
weeks for the trial.

Now, level
with me, kid.

Why'd you
kill him?

He drew on me.

He had a wife and two
kids. Did you know that?

No.

How old are you?

I'm 18.

What are you gonna do
with your life?

Don't you have
any ambition?

Yes, mr. Holliday.

What is it?

I want to be
like you.

Get the hell
out of here, kid.

Hello, bones.

Hello, bitch.

Did you have
a good day?

I had a visitor.

Who?

Mrs. Alley earp.

We had a talk
about, um,

The respectable people
of tombstone,

About how you and me are
living in a state of sin.

you should
have been here.

You know,

I sat around here
after she left,

Thinking about what
we're doing together,

Where we're going.

See, doc,

I never was ashamed
of what I was before.

My life then.

I liked it, doc.

I liked the money first.

But I liked
the life most.

I didn't want
to be some

Nester's wife stuck out
on the goddamn prairie.

Coming in at night smelling of
sheep, reading the bible, I...

What are you
driving at?

I wanted
the towns, doc.

I wanted lights,

Music,

Dancing.

On the line, I got 'em.

And I got a lot of other
things. A lot of 'em was bad.

But what was good...

After I met you,

I didn't want that life.

What do you want now?

I want to go away

With you.

Away from this place,

For however many years
you got left.

I want to have a child.

Nothing...

Nothing fancy, doc.

What...

what do you want?

I don't know.

Part of me wants
the same things,

And part of me wants

Something else.

What?

What "something else"?

What?

Doc,

I don't care for however
many years you've got left.

Take now.

Take me! Take

love

For as long
as you've got.

Doc, wait a...
Please don't.

Please don't go,
doc. Please. Doc!

What is it,
virgil?

Doc holliday bailed out the kid, wyatt.

Put up $1,000
cash money.

When?

Last night.

Well,

That ruins
the deal, virgil.

I know.

What we gonna
do, wyatt?

Kill the clantons.

Katie,
where's john?

He ain't home.

Tell him I want
to see him.

Why should I, wyatt?

Look, we better get
something straight, katie.

You don't own
john holliday.

You got no rights whatever
when it comes to him.

And I'll tell
you something,

Ever since you
hooked on to him,

He ain't
been himself.

Maybe he grew up.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe the tricks you learned
on the line got him so tired

That he can't
think straight.

All night?

You bailed out
the kid.

Yeah.

Caused
some trouble.

Trouble with
the clantons.

Trouble with
the clantons

Is your trouble,

Not mine.

You know, you've
changed, wyatt.

I don't understand
you anymore.

You don't
understand me?

I've changed.

I don't understand you.

You know,
there was a time

When my trouble
was your trouble,

And yours
was mine.

Times have changed.

It's different.

It's different, wyatt.
And I'll tell you why.

Because I got
to learn something.

I got to learn that I'm not
going to live forever.

And I got to learn
that I...

I'm sick and tired
of killing.

I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of seeing young kids gun
down old men for bullshit reasons.

I don't want that
anymore, wyatt.

It doesn't make any sense
to me. I don't understand it.

And I wanna...

I wanna leave
something behind, wyatt.

I want to live.

whatever.

You're sure billy
clanton's in the oriental?

Positive.

All right.

All right.

I'd like you to go down
and talk to billy.

Real calm-like.

Tell him that the deal with ike is off.

Tell him I know that ike's
been talking about the deal,

So I'm gonna have
to teach him a lesson.

That I'm gonna bring
charges against ike

And the kid

For the stagecoach holdup.

And I'm gonna
charge ike

With trying to bribe
a territorial officer.

ike'll blow
his stack, brother.

I mean,

When billy tells him,
ike'll be coming after us.

That's right.

Where is doc?

I looked everywhere.

I tried every
saloon in town.

I can't find him.

You better
have a drink.

I don't want
a drink!

I want to find doc.

Now, please,
have you seen him?

You must
have seen him

Sometime today.

I haven't seen him
since this morning, katie.

Why'd he leave?

We had some words.

Well, everybody has words.

This was about
places we've been,

And places
we're going.

He never took anybody
anyplace before.

Maybe he never loved

Anyone before.

You should try
the chinaman.

The chinaman?

Wong: the palace of mirrors in shanghai.

I'd like you
to see that.

Manila.

manila.

Siam.

Siam.

Across
the seas,

Where spices grow.

Mmm.

Doc: Across the seas
where spices grow.

You son of a bitch.

Jesus christ! Get up, god damn it! Get up!

Wait a minute. Wait a
minute! Look at yourself.

Dirtier than a
quarter horse's butt!

Wait now. Just
wait a minute.

Wong and I are going to the
palace of mirrors. Get up!

Oh, well, go on, then,
god damn it, go!

Burn! Burn, you...

Man: Everybody out!

Man: It's too late!

Man: Buckets!
Get the buckets going!

Maybe we can go
away. California.

When?

Soon.

"soon"
ain't soon enough.

Kid, go on in there,
see what's going on.

We'll see you
at the corral.

Be careful.

Earp sees you,
he'll kill you.

"I swear
to uphold the law

"of the territory
of arizona

"and of the United States,

"so help me god. "

So help me god.
So help me god.

Mr. Holliday.

Hello, kid.

Sit down.

Mmm!

Would you, uh...

Would you like
a drink?

No, thanks,
mr. Holliday.

They're coming into town, mr. Holliday.

Who's coming
into town?

The clantons
and the mclowerys.

Why?

The marshal made a deal with ike.

Ike was supposed to turn
in ringo for the stage job.

Wyatt would give ike
the reward money,

And keep the glory
for himself.

And now the marshal says the deal's off.

He's gonna hold ike and
me for the stage job.

How many are
coming in?

Seven,

Counting me.

Why are you
telling me this?

'cause I don't want you
to die, mr. Holliday.

Into the camera.

They're here.

How many?

Seven.

How many?
Three earps.

And maybe
doc holliday.

Behan: Ike!

Ike!

Now, damn it, ike, I don't want
no shooting in the town limits.

Now, you all
give me your guns!

You're gonna have to take
'em away from us, johnny.

Ike, I don't want
no trouble.

You'd better tell that
to the goddamn marshal!

Can't do it,
wyatt.

The town's
my jurisdiction.

We'll settle it
in court, johnny.

You're not going to
solve anything with a gun.

Oh, you'd be surprised the
things you can solve with a gun.

Shotguns.

They got shotguns.

Spread out.

spread out!

Ike: Spread out!

Ike: Holliday, this ain't
none of your affair.

We're here
to talk to earp.

To talk!

God damn you...

Morgan's dead.

They killed
morgan.

Wyatt: They killed
my brother.

They came into this town,

They came in here,
looking for trouble.

They came in here to destroy everything
that we've been trying to build together.

But I'm telling you,

I swear to you,

That my brother's death
is not gonna be in vain.

'cause from this,

We're gonna build
a better town.

We're gonna build
a better tombstone.

I swear that to you.

That's all.

So long, doc.

Why the kid?

I guess he reminded me
of too many things.

Dade Holman's calling card.

And that's one cashed-in dog.

Maybe the boy'd feel better
if I took a look.

Boys inside?

Dog, you dare,

dog, you die."

I've been thinking.

You know, somebody ought
to tell Mr. Pinchot

that when he's on Sheridan Street,

he shouldn't act like he's on Gold Street,
or people won't like him.

I'll tell him.

I'm very fond of Ed Pinchot.

We had a perfectly divine dance last night.

Except he didn't take off
his shoulder holster.

Take off his holster in Sheridan?

Oh, I guess he'd be safe these days.

Dade Holman's painted the town
bright yellow.

Well, it could be worse.

Mr. Pinchot usually shoots people.

Well, what did I say this time?

Really, Ann.

How's he called, that big one?

Ed Pinchot.

Wears a shoulder holster?

Yeah.

Come in.

Get on the loose shoe as soon
as I mend the Doc's rig.

He needs it for sick calls.

I'll mend my horse
if I can borrow your layout.

Ridin' through?

Yeah, as soon as I take care
of a little personal business.

Tools.

Thanks.

How about that,

middle of Sheridan Street,

and the gun blast didn't even roust
the Marshal out of his seat!

Sims get het up about a dead dog?

He ain't het up about the miner

who died sudden at the Palace last night.

Now, Saul, we can't afford
to worry about Gold Street doings,

but when Holman's gunslick gets
careless on this side of town...

Trouble's outside of town today.

Holman's fixin' for a busy one

when he borrows the Palace boys.

Now, everybody roundabout's
heard that gunshot.

They don't know it's just a dog.

Ain't even noon!

And business goes to pot for the day!

It's on the house.

Where will I find Nelly Bain's place?

Nelly Bain?

Corner of Sheridan and Gold.

Entrance on Gold.

But don't let that fool you.

It ain't an entrance.

Nobody, no man anyhow, gets past Nelly.

You want to wait till night,
you can see her girls at the Palace.

Sarah.

- Sarah!
- Yes, Miss Bain.

Miss Bain ain't home.

When do you expect her?

She won't be home all day.

All right, give her a message for me.

You tell her that Clint Tollinger
is riding through.

Tell her he wants to ask her
just one question

before he moves on.

You tell her right now. I'll wait.

I can't do it.

She's already told me.

I'm a doc,

so I'm entitled to theories,

and I got one now.

I got a theory
that sudden death is catching.

Tollinger!

Well, if you haven't got it yet,
maybe you never will.

No, you wouldn't remember me,

but I'm not likely to forget you.

No one who lived in Ponca,

who lived through Ponca,
is going to forget you in a hurry.

Doc Hughes.

Tollinger?

Might call him a town doctor, too.

Ponca was a mighty sick town.

Clint operated on it.

Patient lost a lot of blood, but lived.

Town tamer.

Where you headin'?

Not here!

I never could sleep in a saddle.

- Board my horse?
- My business.

Mostly west a mile
and over, Doc.

Where law and order
ain't caught up yet, huh?

We're mighty far west, seems to me.

Atkins here is president
of the town council.

It's his job to worry.

We're not that far west.

That so?

Well, I'm checking into the hotel

down here for a couple of days.

That'll give you time to decide
just how far west you are.

I'll see you, Doc.

Saul, I know what you're thinking,
but don't.

I don't believe in operating
till you've tried all the cures.

We're not that bad off yet.

Aren't we?

Always dresses in gray.

Black would fit his profession better.

Dade says no guns unless we have to.

You reckon Castle saw us coming
and lit out?

Let's get a fire started.

You want the next one
between your eyes?

Tell Dade Holman I'm building here,

and if he bothers me again,

I'll personal put a bullet
through his fat carcass.

When Dade's got hisself

12 top gun hands out at his place,

not counting the boys
he's got here at the Palace,

that's just too many to fight, boy!

And should I, at any time, rile them up,

they can ride in here,
and wipe this town right off the map.

Now, Saul, ain't them the facts?

Heard you say so often enough.

There's more than one way
to wipe a town off the map.

A town has got to eat if it's gonna grow,

but Dade doesn't want farms
cluttering up his grass.

Look out there.
It smells like a ghost town already.

Son,

when you get a little older,

you'll realize there's certain things
that's best left alone.

And by and by, they just take care
of theirselves.

Leave Holman alone,
and he'll swallow us up.

He's done swallowed
and digested the whole lot of you already.

Long before I come to town.

Dade's a power in the county,

and he's gettin' to be a power in the state,

and now you want
to cut him down to size.

Yes, now.

Look, son, hold your horses, will you?

Dade is old, and he's fat,

and he's got hisself a bum ticker.

And one of these days,
he'll just pop off, just like that.

Then that'll be the time to go...

Son, quit it, will you?

You are digging holes
in my desktop again.

That land is mine, legal.

Dade needs to be told that, legal.

But if you won't do it, put a star on me,

and I'll tell him quick enough!

I ain't deputizing you,
nor no other darn fightin' fool

who wants to go out and get hisself killed.

- Saul, are you with me?
- I'm not waiting till Dade dies

to live on my own property!

I... Son!

Look, Jeff.

Now, did you hear that?

I heard.

Look, before you and Stella
set the wedding date,

I might've felt different about you
declaring war on Holman.

- But now, boy...
- It's too late, Saul.

I caught his boys red-handed
today trying to set a fire.

Well, I shot them off my homesite,
and I'm gonna keep 'em off.

Saul,

step into my office a minute, will you?

- Maybe you and me...
- No, Lee, we can't.

Tell her I'm here.

- Miss...
- She's home.

You see that? That's my foot.

It's too big to close the door on.
Now, you tell her.

ltching to get into it, Clint?

Hello, Nelly.

Your girls, I understand.

And you're the girl who was brought up
to think that dancing was a sin.

I know you've come a long way, Nell,

but then it is a long way from home,
isn't it?

I thought so.

But you're still in business, I see,
so you've found it.

I might have known.

The town's rotten ripe.

Is that why you picked it?

Now I'm here on personal business.

I got your message.

Just the one question.

It's been three years.

You don't expect an answer.

It's been three years, and I do.

Leave us alone, Clint, I'm warning you.

As soon as I get my answer.

You won't from me.

Be kind just this once.

Forget us.

Ride away and let me forget
you're still alive.

Beth is five now.

Where is she?

It's almost like you could
reach out and touch the snow.

It looks like a lake I once saw up
in the Sawtooth Mountains.

You know, Jeff, I thought
of a mountain lake for our honeymoon.

Not in the Sawtooths.

No one around for hundreds of miles.

Oh?

I could always fish,
but what would you do?

Fish!

Sometimes, Jefferson Castle,
I wonder about you.

Company.

Mr. Tollinger, this is my daughter, Stella,

and this young man ain't a member
of the family yet,

but he's the next thing to it.

- Jeff Castle, who had the trouble today.
- Pleased to meet you.

What trouble? Jeff, you didn't tell...

Look, Holman tried to burn him out,

but I got an idea.

First, I have to sell it to the council
at the regular meeting Friday.

But if I can't swing it,
I'll pay you for your time.

- Clint Tollinger.
- That's my risk.

I always try to make sure
that a town needs doing,

and a town wants doing.

We need it, all right.

You figure you can tidy up a town
single-handed, Mr. Tollinger?

With a little luck, yeah.

He's been 100% lucky,

and when it adds up like that, it ain't luck.

Call it timing. I just work faster alone.

Well, then you're not a marshal.

- Or a sheriff.
- He's a town tamer.

The difference is there are no rules
on my end of the business.

Except maybe one,

never stay in one town too long.

Well, you can clean up
for the rest of the town.

I believe in doing my own fighting.

Look, that won't be necessary.

If Mr. Tollinger does the job,
it'll go fast like he says.

If you'll just hold up...

I'm not holding up for anybody!

Not for Holman or Sims or anybody.

How about thinking of Stella?

I am thinking of Stella.

It's our homesite, and I'm building on it,

so we'll have someplace to live
when we get married.

Mr. Tollinger, I must say
you don't look fierce enough

to fight everyone's battles.

I'm a peacemaker by profession,
Miss Atkins.

Let's get you some dinner.

You haven't met my wife yet.

Oh, Mary.

Saul?

You're late tonight.

Mary, this is Mr. Tollinger,

and he's hungry.

Oh, this way, Mr. Tollinger.

Those guns...

All that talk about fighting,

and what happened to you today.

I'm scared.

Honey, you can't keep on
turning the other cheek

with a cemetery as big as we've got.

But to pay someone to stand up
like a man for you...

You understand, don't you?

I don't know.

Look, it's like this.

I've got to do my own fighting,

to get into training to be head
of my family.

Don't I, now?

Good night, honey.

Good night.

Mmm.

The boy's gonna take some handling.
But I think he's...

Jeff!

Here he is.

- His left shoulder, it's bleeding!
Get Doc Hughes.

Well?

Town needs it.

They'll find out they want it in a hurry.

Fourteen killings
and 31 robberies in the past year,

most of them in or around the Palace.

That's how things have
quieted down for us.

Call that spade a spade, Saul.

You're talking Tollinger,
you're talking gun law.

What have we got now?

Only it's Holman's guns and Holman's law.

People are scared to build.

They're scared to farm.

They're even scared off the streets.

You know how I feel about young Castle
getting shot up, Saul,

but Tollinger?

I heard about a town
he cleaned up right smart,

only a lot of businesses closed down

till the smoke blew away,
and never did open up.

If my business closed down,
I wouldn't know the difference.

$500 is a lot of money
to pay for a cleanup job,

but it ain't too much to pay a tamer,
willing to take all the chances.

Arthur.

One gun against Holman's army?

They'll take him fast.

Then Dade'll work his grudge off
on the rest of us.

I say if Gold Street riffraff
want to kill each other off,

let them, and good riddance!

Things have quieted down lately for us,

till tonight.

Ten years ago, there were a dozen farms

and three mining operations in the valley.

Now there's just Dade Holman.

He's got the valley,

he's got us backed up here in town.

Now he's working on the town.

He already owns Gold Street.

What happens when he decides
to take over Sheridan Street?

He'll take it over.

Can anyone here deny that?

Unless...

Are you sure Clint Tollinger is available?

I'm sure.

Is Tollinger the cure for what's ailing us?

As a doctor, I've seen some cures
worse than the disease.

Believe me,

his medicine is hard to take,

and harder to keep down.

Come in.

There's a fire out in the prairie a ways.

It ain't grass neither.

It's young Jeff Castle's new house,

gone up in a puff of smoke.

Well, if that don't just about...

What are you gonna do about it?

Well, I...

I could deputize

every man jack of you
for a war on Holman,

just like young Castle had wanted.

All over a pile of lumber!

Is that what you want?

Hold it, Lee.

Gentlemen,

I'm putting the proposition to a vote,

namely, to employ Clint Tollinger

in the capacity of town tamer.

All in favor signify by saying, "Aye."

- Aye.
- Aye.

All opposed?

Motion is carried unanimous.

Gentlemen,

meet Clint Tollinger.

Mr. Tollinger,

I guess you wouldn't mind
a little friendly advice

from a member of the town council?

What I mean is,

we don't want you to go hog wild on this.

I mean, just take it a little easy.

Too much gun play is bad for business.

What you mean is
that target practice in the hallways

is against the house rules, eh?

Oh, I see, having your little joke, huh?

Oh, hello, Tollinger.

Just looking around a bit

before you start to work?

No, I'm ready.

Ever been in Sheridan before?

No, but all these towns look alike to me.

So do the people.

I'll bet you, you never seen one
look like Dade Holman before.

Lay odds you never
get a chance to see him.

Saul Atkins tells me you know the terms.

You'll draw up a contract in letter form.

There's a clause I'd like in that contract.

- Yeah?
- No interference.

I'll do the job my own way.

You'll deputize me, and that's all.

If I need your help, I'll let you know.

Well, the town council took you on.

I'm just a hired hand here myself.

You're on your own, Tollinger.

What's Holman's brand?

Lazy Tombstone.

Who ramrods for him?

Pinchot. Ed Pinchot. Know him?

Yeah, I've heard he's overdue.

He's wanted down in Texas
for murder and rustling,

and in Abilene, Kansas, for plain murder.

And there's Frenchy Lescaux.

When Dade opened the Palace,

he brung Lescaux
all the way up from New Orleans,

I believe it was, to run it for him.

Two of a kind.

Lescaux can kill plain or fancy,

but he's partial to a bowie knife.

Fact of the matter is,

last marshal died of a knife wound

he got over at the Palace,

checking up on a knife killing
there the night before.

- But Lescaux claimed...
- Fill me in on Holman.

No name calling,
just how does he operate?

Well, Dade's a fat man,

but don't let that fool you.

Never lifts a pudgy finger hisself.

Well, you take yesterday, for example.

Just a typical day in Dade's life.

He cut himself a piece out of a trail herd

that was passing through.

Then he roughed up the new mine
merchant's over at Benning Creek Way.

Then he tried to grab
young Jeff Castle's homesite,

and, I'm betting you,
he divvied up the gold dust

they took off that poor dead miner
over there at the Palace.

Nothing is too small or mean for Dade.

Nothing's so rich nor fancy, neither.

Grand piany from Italy,

yeah, fish eggs from Rooshy

and a brocade sofie from New York.

Did he bring in Nelly Bain?

Nelly? Oh, no.

No, not that one.

Nelly come on her own steam,

stays on her own terms.

Course, her girls work over at the Palace,

but nobody owns Nelly.

Now,

don't you tell them church biddies
I said so,

but Nelly is quite a female.

Ain't no lady of course,

but if some of the men in this town
stood up to Dade's boys

the way Nelly does, and got away with it...

Town never stood up before, huh?

No. No.

And believe you me, mister, it...

It ain't no
one-man job, neither.

And

it's too late now.

Well, they got to start sometime.

How?

You can't get at Dade.

He sits out there in that ranch

of his like a big, fat spider, I tell you.

He ain't been to town
in the last four or five years.

It would take an army to get through them
gun hands of his.

Well, we'll have to get him to town.

Get him how?

I'll work on that.

I'll take that oath now.

Okay.

- Mr. Tollinger.
- Miss Atkins.

I just stopped by to ask how's the patient?

Much better, thank you.

Doc Hughes says he can't be moved.

That suits me just fine.

Mother's with him while he's taking a nap,

while I try to figure out
Father's bookkeeping.

I don't know what the council's gonna do
for its book work

when Stella and Jeff get married.

When?

It seemed so soon, but now...

Maybe you can tell me something,
Mr. Tollinger.

After all, it's what you call your

business.

Would they have tried to kill Jeff,

if he hadn't shot at them yesterday?

I knew a man once, didn't own a gun.

Wouldn't have one in the house.

One day, those land grabbers
back in Lotawana County

came to pay him a call.

He sent his kid out to hide in the brush

before he'd open the door.

They shot him where he stood,

then they burned the house down
around him.

Jeff Castle just made one mistake.

What?

He didn't shoot to kill.

Oh, it is getting late,

and I want to be home
when Jeff wakes up.

First one's on the house, Mr. Tollinger.

My first drink on a working day
is my last one.

Can't afford to drink on the house.

Any of Dade Holman's boys in town?

We work for Dade Holman.
Who's askin'?

Well, look what we got here,
a new deputy.

With a long memory.

Fred and Sy Harkness.

You ran with Big Bill Thompson
down south,

wiped out the Circle B Ranch to a man.

Last year, you killed a bank teller
down in Texas.

I hear there's a price
on your head in Texas.

That's in Texas.

Well, this is Sheridan,

where I'm giving you exactly 10 minutes

to get out of town and don't come back.

Don't ever come back.

- Why, you tinhorn...
Move.

Nelly!

Look, just in from St. Louis.

Every day's a shopping day for you, Annie,

you'll never save a cent.

How will they see the forest for the trees?

Huh?

You're going to do Mable's song tonight.

She's nursing a sore throat.

But I haven't got any voice,

and that's the worst kind!

They're not paying for your pear-shaped
tones at the Palace, dear.

Nelly means, "Who listens?"

Well, honestly, Nelly, half the time,
I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, try a little harder

'cause I have something to say
to all of you.

I'm warning you again
not to let your escorts

any further than the verandah steps
when they walk you home.

The ladies in this town

are just waiting for a reason
to force us to leave.

I'm going to keep them waiting
as long as the Palace

pays as well as it does.

Oh, honestly, Nelly,

the way you talk, sometimes
you'd think we'd never left home.

You notice I don't say anything
about your manners.

Appearances are all I care about.

You're pretty girls,
and the Palace is not a pretty business.

Ann,

whose husband were you flirting
with today?

Why, nobody's.

I mean, well, that is, at least he's new,

and not one of the old, tired ones.

New and attractive, obviously.

Oh, yes!

But, you know,
I think he's some kind of a law man

because he had a big star right here,

and he was all dressed in gray.

What did I do now?

Ann, you should realize by now

that you should never flirt with a man
wearing a badge.

Especially that man.

And from now on,

any rule I give you has nothing to do
with manners or appearances.

It's to keep you
out of the way of stray bullets.

Ain't open till 6:00.

So if you want a drink,

The Red Dog next door will oblige.

Tell Lescaux I'd like to talk to him.

A beauty, eh?

I brought her all the way
from New Orleans with me.

Won her with a stack of poker chips.

$2,000 worth.

Fancy.

What can I do for you, Mr. Tollinger?

Word gets around.

Then you may have heard that I told
the Harkness Brothers to get out of town.

You may even have heard
that I never warn a man twice.

The Harkness Brothers?

Oh, they're at The Red Dog
because you've got things all figured out.

I'm here with a warning for you, Lescaux.

Starting now,
there will be no wearing of weapons

within town limits.

I'm prepared to shoot
any man who violates that rule.

Do you think you can make a crazy rule
like that stick in my place?

Your place?

I thought this was Holman's place.

Except maybe for this.

Your bowie knife is a weapon.
I'll take that.

You tell Holman
he can pick up the Harknesses
