Law and Order Page #4

before the shooting starts.

You fellows better do like the

ordnance says. Give up you guns.

Maybe you think Johnson is

man enough to take them.

It ain't a question of that.

A law is a law.

I'll make a few of my own.

And you'll observe them!

We're all with Johnson on this, Poe.

Remember this, Williams.

There ain't near as many of your

friends in this town as there is ours.

Oh come now, Walt. Be reasonable.

Give me your hand.

Alright.

I'll tell you the only way

to clean up this town.

Let me turn my shotgun loose

on that crowd down there.

All they need is a

double dose of buckshot.

That's enough, Brandt .. you

fellows have got to help me.

Give them a belly full of lead.

That's my advice.

I've got some news for you.

I'm going to appoint you Deputies.

How's that?

You fellows have got to help me.

This is too big a job for just one man.

You mean .. we're going

to be Peace Officers?

And help enforce the law?

I thought you'd back me up.

Brandt! A Frame Deputy.

Law-and-Order Brandt. Look at him!

I'm going to do battle for the right.

Come on, let's get going.

Hold on, Brandt.

We've got to keep the peace.

There will be no killing, no gun-play.

It's all crime, Frame.

Let's get at them.

We're taking orders mighty fast.

We're needed as Deputies.

Here they come now.

Well, let them come.

Can't you fellahs read?

I reckon we can.

Alright, get inside and hang

up your guns. Go on, get in there.

None of them Johnsons

is going to get my guns.

I don't blame you Kurt.

Put those guns away.

Got a gun?

Back in the house.

Alright. Keep moving.

You men ought to be ashamed.

Go and help you husband, ma'am.

You and Deadwood, take main street.

Luther, you come with me.

Hooray for Frame and his Deputies.

Hooray for the new Deputies.

Alright you .. come on.

Ben! They're going to lock me up.

Hello Mabel. Just a moment.

Say, what's the idea?

Oh, just in the line of duty.

You dirty tin-horn. You lousy ..

You made a great mistake, Frame.

You never should have done it.

Hold your horses Mister Williams.

I knew it wasn't practical.

I was against it from the start.

The whole town is against you.

You never should have made them

Deputies .. it don't look right, Frame.

The town has got the idea that

you four are out to take it over.

You've gone too far, Frame.

"Tombstone is sick of Saint Johnson."

"Get out of town."

"Otherwise the other five of these

will be delivered later. In the belly."

"Signed:
Friends Of Order."

Where is your nerve Mister Williams?

I'll save this for Northrup.

I can't stand a man that don't

kill a bottle once he starts.

You're a sight drunk Kurt,

pull yourself together.

Deal, you're a fool to tag

along with them Johnsons.

You're liable to get

your head blowed off.

Hand over that gun, Kurt.

Get back, Luther Johnson.

Drop that gun, you hear.

Keep away from me or I'll shoot.

[ Gunshot! ]

Stay back.

He's dead.

Who fired the first shot?

Luther Johnson did.

It ain't so, Fin. I didn't let

him have it until I had to.

I've got to arrest you.

Hand over your gun.

Get back.

I had to do it, Frame. He was blazing

away at me. You'd have done the same.

Come on you fellows, get out of here.

Go to Elderville and get the Northrups.

Go on. Get out, all of you.

I got to arrest him.

You ain't arresting nobody.

You got to turn him over, Frame.

I won't .. I believe

what my brother says.

That ain't the point.

He's got to be put under arrest.

Northrup had no business carrying a gun.

Come on, Luther.

You'd better make out a warrant for him.

[ door knocks ]

Come in.

Frame.

You got to turn Luther over.

It's your duty as a Peace Officer.

Luther killed Kurt Northrup in self

defense. You ain't going to get him.

Fin Elder's got a warrant for him.

If he tries to serve it, I'll kill him.

That's final then, is it?

You won't give him up?

No, I won't give him up.

If that's the case, I'll have to ask

you to hand over your badge.

You see I've got to protect myself.

I've got interests here.

I ain't going to hand over

my badge, nor Luther neither.

So you've turned dog too,

eh Mister Williams?

I'm sorry if I seem to let you down.

The whole town is against you, Frame.

They seem to think your only

idea in disarming the town was to ..

Fix it so you can run it your own way.

So that's it, eh?

Alright, we'll put our guns away, too.

We'll clean up this

town without any guns.

If that's the case, what's to prevent

Fin Elder from taking over?

You won't get out of this room unless you

promise to get the warrant and tear it up.

Alright .. I will.

You didn't mean that, Frame?

About taking off your guns?

And it goes for you too,

all of you. Take them off.

What's come over you Frame? You crazy?

After what's happened today,

we've got to take them off.

Are you out of your head?

Don't be a jackass. You'll be murdered.

I'm running this show.

Take off those guns.

I'm sorry, Poe.

Give me that gun.

Take this side.

Who is that?

[ Gunshot! ]

[ Gunshot! ]

That was a shotgun.

Brandt!

Brandt!

Brandt.

Brandt.

Get the Doctor.

Yes, sir.

Who done it, Brandt?

I never saw them .. saw nothing.

I feel queer-some, I tell you.

For you, Frame, it is a showdown.

I'm not tore in half.

Pull off my boots.

I sweared to my Ma I wouldn't

die with them on.

You ain't going to die, Brandt.

No use our playing poker, Frame.

I ain't going to grow much older.

Where is Luther and Deadwood?

Right here, Brandt.

You won't lie down on me?

No, Brandt.

There is a few things I want

that you should tend to.

You mind that ..

That madam back in Dodge City?

She loaned me sixty dollars once.

Pay her back.

I'll tend to it.

I owe forty to that barkeep in Wichita.

Take care of that, too.

I don't want them cussing

my ghost for a tin-horn.

I'll look after it.

I reckon that's all the dollars

I've got in my possibles.

You can have my pistols, Frame.

Deadwood can take my .. ring.

Luther can have my saddle

and the fixings.

See that Lotta gets my watch and chain.

That about breaks the bank.

Bury my shotgun with me.

I reckon they wouldn't have got

me Frame, if I'd had my shotgun.

I'm going to give them all

back their guns tomorrow.

Every last man.

I'll bet a blue chip they'll

be needing them.

Oh, I'd like to be

there for the fireworks.

I'm reaching the bottom of the .. deck.

Tell Lotta I loved her.

Aces and eights.

Hello! All of you, come back!

I ain't going to kill you.

I only want you to hear

we're getting out tomorrow.

This is our last night in town!

I ain't keeping the peace no longer!

I'm giving up my star and

we're striking out for good!

Load your guns .. celebrate!

Tomorrow, you'll be shot of us forever.

Hide and hair will be gone.

But there is some reckoning

to be done before we're quits!

As God is my judge!

I'll get even with you down

to the last drop of blood!

I swear it!

Let me get the town up, Poe. They'll

never get out of that Golden Girl.

All of them.
