a woman is very hospitable.

How are you, sir?

What time is it, Bat?

20 midnight.

It will soon begin.

Do you think they will sow

the mess in Wichita?

Take note of the paper and

all the details as you can.

Gyp!

- Gyp Clemens!

- I arrive.

What is the matter?

Taste it.

I like it.

No, it tastes horrible.

You're right. It's disgusting.

Alcohol is adulterated, guys!

We need fresh air!

What's going on?

You'll soon find out.

Stay inside

until everything is finished.

Make her sit down.

Call a physician.

- There is no doctor in Wichita.

- I know a little.

Bring towels

and water.

It does not matter.

- Well ...

- What, well?

Give me your badge.

You are mad, you do

no time will stand out.

Give it to me!

- You have a gun?

- A gun?

You heard.

I have one. Go get him.

One moment, Wyatt.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear to defend the law of the United States

and this community?

- I swear.

- I called Sheriff of Wichita.

It's a dead man.

There remain 20.

Others have fallen horse

or left.

They will continue until

too tired or hungry to gallop.

Which may last until morning.

Mr. Whiteside, look!

Hey, boys!

Look who is!

And he wears a badge brand new!

Hey Gyp! Where are you?

Here.

I have two loads of buckshot

pointed at you.

At this distance, I can remove 5.

What are you playing?

I play to stop.

Tell them to throw their weapons.

You have ten seconds.

Un

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Sept.

Eight.

Throw it out, guys,

He was not joking!

Maire.

Open the prison,

I stopped.

- You make a mistake.

- You will die for it.

Take your men in prison.

Let the horses tied.

- Listen ...

- You are all arrested.

Forward.

Listen.

I'll take my gun ...

- ... and we will ...

- No. You're under arrest.

Really? So come on,

help yourself a gun.

Only in this way

take me to jail.

Bat!

Take this and cover the men.

If one of them moves, shoot.

No need to aim.

I do not want to kill you, Clemens.

Now or never.

Turn around and goes to prison.

Keep your gun.

Ah, yes.

- Thank you.

- Nothing.

- Good evening, Mr. Mayor.

- Wyatt.

The trial will take place at ten o'clock.

I need your testimony.

Good. I'll be there.

- What should I do about them?

- I do not know, it's your job.

I can only condemn

in fines.

Well, do it,

and I will make them leave the city.

There are many people

who will not like that.

And you?

This may be a bit harsh.

- Good night.

- Good night, Wyatt.

Good morning.

You have enclosed my men?

- Yes.

- For what reason?

- Disturbances of public order.

- "Disturbing public order"?

I pay their fines and you make them out.

They have to die of thirst.

Judging will take place at 10 am.

You can pay then.

I pay now

they spent enough time there.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wallace.

In 10 hours.

There are only 3 hours.

See you soon.

Listen!

Maybe you do not understand.

I will speak clearly.

I want them free

for 10 minutes.

If they are not in the street,

we will destroy you with the prison.

Of calm.

You will not come,

because you will be in prison.

For threats against an officer of the law.

Tell your friends free.

Judging will take place at 10 am.

You can attend.

I'll kill the first

trying to escape.

Questions?

Well

Questions?

By this, Mr. Wallace.

I do not want more problems,

Mr. Wallace.

Lets through.

You're a dead man.

Thou art conscious?

- Hello.

- Hello, Mr. McCoy.

I'm glad you

accepted the job.

What made you change your mind?

Well, several things.

I saw you in action

yesterday.

How you

handled these men is admirable

Thank you.

What you do

make them pay fines?

This is the case of the mayor.

The trial will take place at ten o'clock.

If you'll excuse me,

I'll take my breakfast.

Sheriff.

You stopped Clint Wallace?

Exact.

Why? It did not take part

disorders of the night.

I stopped to avoid problems.

He wanted to free his men.

He was not speaking seriously.

Surely not.

He only wanted to bluff you.

I do not think so. In any case,

I would not risk more violence.

Wyatt.

You do not think of one thing.

Wichita depends on these breeders.

Men like Wallace

and cowboys.

They are important to us.

Occasionally, they make noise

but we must make concessions.

I do not agree, McCoy.

Not when there is damage

and the dead.

Somebody died tonight?

- Of the city?

- Yes.

Who?

His name was Michael Jackson.

It was 5 years old.

- And do not come back!

- Who do you take?

I'm the Sheriff and I do not want

see these men here.

Me too?

No, neither you nor those

have fired that night.

Here is your weapons.

Come.

Thank you, Bat.

This also applies to residents.

I want to be your assistant.

It would take me a year older than you.

Who?

Good question.

I know no one else here.

I'll call some friends.

Meanwhile, ...

... the job is yours.

You know you use this?

I know shoot

but I'm still not fast.

Do not try.

If you must use them as,

you have to fly the first time.

Yes, sir.

Come, I will procure a badge

and we will put up posters everywhere.

FIREARMS ARE PROHIBITED

IN THE STREETS OF WICHITA

I believe in what you do, but I

do not know if this is the right solution.

However there is no other, Mr. Whiteside.

Unarmed, they can not

is shot. It's that simple.

This measure will not

make you popular.

Without guns, people

are defenseless.

As you watch over their safety.

You know I did not want

of this work.

But you accepted

and you will.

Bat and I are with you.

I read your editorial.

It is a consolation to know

we are not alone.

A newspaper is a little more

a consolation.

It should guide public opinion,

exert influence.

But it takes time,

Mr. Whiteside.

How long have you, Wyatt?

- What it takes.

- Good.

Take it.

Thank you for your support.

Both of them.

It is a pleasure

and a privilege, Sheriff.

I think it will get there

if they leave him alone.

- "They," the cowboys?

- No, citizens.

What will happen to Wichita when

it is known that there is a Sheriff crazy?

I can tell you.

It will be a ghost town.

No breeder will come to a city

which can not carry weapons.

- We need to ...

- Hi, Doc, John, Andrew.

- Sam, you must do something.

- I know it's why I called.

Andrew, talk to him.

Tell him that he exaggerates.

It is not the type to which

they say how do its job.

It does so in its own way

or it does not.

- I think it's good.

- What do you say?

We need a good sheriff.

You agree.

Sam, we can all be ruined ...

... If you can not stop the Sheriff.

Much money has been invested in this

city into a center of cattle.

And if the farmers do not?

And they will not believe me.

What will become of us?

- What will transport your train?

- Doc, it's not as bad.

Not yet, anyway.

Here's what we will do.

We will invite the Sheriff

a ceremony.

We will explain the situation.

Maybe he did not understand.

It's a good idea, Sat

And if it does not work?

It gets rid of him.
