Alex!

ALEX:

What in the name of...

BILLY:

Alex, let's go. The word's out. They're gonna come

kill you.

ALEX:

Damn it, Billy. I told you not to come here. I'm not

leaving my house.

BILLY:

Alex, if you stay here, they're gonna kill you. And

then I'm gonna have to go and kill all the guys that

killed you. Now, that's lot of killing.

ALEX:

You heard me, Billy.

SUSAN:

Alex, maybe...

ALEX:

You heard me!

SUSAN:

We can't just stay here and hope that the good lord

saves us from an all out...

ALEX:

I'm sick... I can't go to old Mexico.

DOC:

Don't fret, Alex. The trip's been postponed. They're

coming around the front.

BILLY:

Sh*t!

DOC:

Advices from Lincoln report that Chavez Y Chavez

moved to California..where he changed his name and

took work on a fruit ranch. Josiah 'Doc' Scurlock is

reported to have left the West for the East...taking

with him a celestial bride, her mother and fourteen

brothers and sisters. Susan McSween went on to see

both her husband's and John Tunstall's dreams to

fruition...by becoming one of most prominent cattle

women of all time. Governor Axtel was forced to

resign by President Rutherford B. Hayes... and both

the Murphy-Dolan faction and the Santa Fe Ring

collapsed. William H. Bonney... also known as 'Billy

the Kid'...continued to ride, never leaving New

Mexico. He was caught in Fort Sumner... by Sheriff

Pat Garret and killed. Sources report that he was

unarmed and shooting the dark. He was buried with

Charley Bowdre at Old Fort Sumner. Advices report

that sometime later, an unidentified person...

...snuck into the graveyard and chiseled an

inscription. The epitaph read only one word...

'Pals'.
