Wyatt Earp's Revenge Page #5

---

Okay, okay. Doc.

Just a... Just a little bit of whisky?

Yeah.

That's good. Thanks, doc.

Now, the question

I'd be asking myself, marshal...

...is what was Miss Dora

doing in a married man's bed?

Maybe that's how

Mayor Kelly got the name "Dog."

Seems to me my brother Spike

did Dodge City a favour.

And you and your men

are willing to risk your lives...

...for a whore actress

and a corrupt politician.

Now, what Mayor Kelly does

in his private time is his business.

But bringing you and your brother

in to justice, that's mine.

It looks like you just showed

your hand, marshal.

Seems to me somebody's

out to get a little more than justice.

- Let him die.

- No.

No. No! Wait, okay. Okay!

No! The ranch. The ranch. My...

My... My daddy's ranch

in Santa Teresa.

- He riding alone?

- No.

Probably 901..

Probably got Sanchez with him

by now and Confederate Jones.

Spike had me round them up

at Oak Hill.

That's all I know, I swear.

Killer shooters, Wyatt.

Not likely to take captives.

That's all I know. Okay?

But you should know...

...my daddy...

...is a very powerful man.

Y'all don't stand a chance.

I think that bullet's

ready to come out there, doctor.

We're indebted to you, doc.

No need to thank me. I'm your daisy.

I never knew law and order

could be so much fun.

If you're ever in Dodge City,

be sure to look us up.

I may just do that, Mr. Earp.

Never caught your name.

Holliday. Dr. John Henry Holliday.

At your service.

- Boys.

- Let's go, friend.

That's how you met Doc Holliday?

He'd come and go several times

during our friendship.

Doc was always free.

We were to head for their

father's ranch to intercept Spike.

He could not be permitted

to reach it at any cost.

He'd be home free

if we were unsuccessful.

But by then, he knew we had Sam...

...so it was just a matter of time...

...before Spike

would come looking for us.

What is it, Bill?

He's covering his tracks.

This has all been wiped clean.

And it's fresh. Very fresh.

- How far is it to that ranch?

- About 20 miles.

Be the west side of Clark County,

I suppose.

Mifflin Kenedy, he's a war hero.

He's not gonna hand over his son...

...knowing he's gonna

be swinging from the gallows.

"Surrender Sam or die."

He's dead.

I warned you, Earp.

Spike, he got a mind all of his own.

Spike ain't like you and me.

He ain't gonna quit

till he gets what he wants.

This is just the beginning.

You best figure out another plan.

You really are some

stupid sons of b*tches.

Spike! Go give them hell, now.

Wyatt.

I'm okay!

Spike. Spike, where are you?

Hold your fire.

Now, you wanna get down.

Wyatt! Hand over Sam

or you all die.

Come on.

Damn it, watch out for Sam!

I'll kill you myself!

You better stay with me

if you wanna stay alive.

Drop it!

Wyatt Earp.

I'm gonna shoot him, Spike.

Sanchez, out of the way!

Shut up, he's mine!

Damn it.

I ain't going to the gallows!

Spike! Spike?

Spike! Spike?

Spike eluded your capture?

I don't understand.

You were a hero. You had him in

your grasp and you let him get away?

Let me ask you something.

What have you ever done?

You sit behind a desk

and you write stories.

Not living your own life,

living somebody else's.

You, sir, are no man.

No idea what it means to be a man.

What's wrong with your generation?

Sit around and talk about what's right,

talk about the law.

Taking law for granted.

The law is an action.

You never had to face death.

Never had to face the idea

of killing a man for what is right...

...because it's right.

Not as of yet, Mr. Earp.

Not as of yet.

Call myself a goddamn hero.

Only children and fiction writers

throw those kind of words around.

Which are you?

Shall I continue, Mr. Taylor?

Please go on.

Well, poor Charlie, as it turned out,

was hurt pretty bad.

- I'm fine. Help me up.

- We need to get Charlie to a doctor.

Best doctors outside of Wichita

are in Dodge.

We can't give up now.

We're back to square one.

We didn't get Spike, Sam got away.

If we don't get Charlie a doctor,

he's gonna die.

And with Hinkle after us...

...we might not go back as free men.

We tried, Wyatt.

- We can get Spike another day.

- No.

He'll hold up,

seek sanctuary, pay judges...

...and we'll have no recourse.

He may be free for good.

All this justice and for what?

At what cost? Charlie's life?

Is it worth that?

He won't get away with killing Dora,

Bat. I won't allow that.

What about you, Bill?

Bat may be right.

This might be over for now.

And so what? We all go back

to our nice, warm beds...

...wake up,

and it's all a bad dream? Is that it?

No, you're right, Bat.

- I'm sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

Charlie needs help. You take him

to Dodge. I'm going in alone.

I never should have brought

you boys into this.

You going after Spike's gang alone,

that's not justice or courage.

That's suicide.

You made your decision,

now let me make mine.

You dying won't bring her back,

Wyatt.

Step down, Bat.

If you're determined to ride into

the gates of Hades itself...

...I'm gonna be by your side.

Well, we're getting him some help.

Wyatt, there may be a doctor

in Cedar City.

- It's a ways but...

- It's on the way to the ranch.

Shortcut. Tell me you know one.

All right.

Charlie had lost a lot of blood.

A lot of men wouldn't have had

the fortitude Charlie had.

When we got to Cedar,

a doctor quickly patched him up.

Vitals were missed.

Through the meat, they called it.

Doctor ordered a few days' rest,

but he wouldn't have it.

I persuaded him.

Bat, Bill and myself,

we continued on.

- You let me do the talking.

- What are we gonna tell him?

Don't open your mouth.

What have you done?

What do you mean?

Just happen to be about, that's all.

You only come here

when you're in trouble. What is it?

They're here now and they're safe,

and that is all that matters.

Tell me or get off this property.

What happened to you, Sam?

I got shot twice.

And the second one

nearly tore me in half.

Is that all?

- Come on.

- A girl is dead.

- Where?

- Dodge City.

- Shots were meant for Kelly.

- It was an accident.

An accident?

I've put up with your abuse,

your thievery...

...your animal instincts, but this...

...a dead girl.

- Well...

- I don't wanna hear it...

...from either one of you.

I'm tired of your excuses

and disappointments.

Mifflin. Mifflin,

they are still your sons.

How many? How many are coming?

Earp.

Wyatt Earp.

He will not be bought.

Bat Masterson.

Charlie Bassett.

And they also have that...

I don't know, that Injun or something.

Billy Tilghman.

My God, what have you

brought upon us?

You are my sons.

I will protect you

but I will never forgive you.

We'll be ready when Earp

and his friends get here.

We knew Spike and Sam

were holed up in their father's ranch.

We could have turned back

or we could finish it.

I decided to finish it.

And the closer we got...

...the more I couldn't shake

that feeling in my gut...
