IF IT WAS UP TO ME,

THIS SCATTER GUN WOULD BE
THE LAST THING YOU EVER SEE.

Bonney:
I'VE BEEN CALLED
A LOT OF NAMES.

BUT THE ONE THAT STUCK IS
BILLY THE KID.

AND THIS IS MY TRUE STORY
AS IT'S NEVER BEEN TOLD.

[ SIGHS ] DAMN IT.

"HELLO, BOB."

HELLO, BOB.

Bell:
HE'S THE FIRST GOOD BAD BOY.

I THINK YOU CAN DRAW
A DIRECT LINE FROM BILLY THE KID

TO JAMES DEAN TO ELVIS PRESLEY
TO KURT COBAIN.

[ GUNSHOT ]
DAMN, BILLY.

YOU'VE HEARD THE LEGENDS...

Hutton: WELL, THE STORY GOES

THAT BILLY THE KID KILLED
21 MEN --

ONE FOR EACH YEAR
OF HIS LIFE.

...BUT THE TRUTH IS
AN EVEN BETTER TALE.

Boggs:
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE LAW IS
AS CORRUPT AS THE OUTLAWS?

YOU TAKE THE LAW
INTO YOUR OWN HANDS.

I WAGED WAR ON A BAND
OF MURDEROUS LAWMEN,

CHEATED DEATH REPEATEDLY...

JOKE'S ON ME.
[ LAUGHTER ]

...AND BECAME
THE FACE OF THE WILD WEST.

HE REALLY WAS A KID,

AND WHEN YOU'RE A KID,
YOU'RE INVINCIBLE.

BUT THERE WAS ONE SHERIFF
I COULDN'T SHAKE FROM MY TAIL.

Hutton: THE WARRANTS HE CARRIED
WEREN'T ARREST WARRANTS.

THEY WERE DEATH WARRANTS.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

EVERYONE THINKS THEY KNOW
THE REAL BILLY THE KID.

THEY CALL ME A PSYCHOPATH,
A VILLAIN...

...A COLD-BLOODED MURDERER...
BILLY, DON'T!

...BUT THE TRUTH
ISN'T SO BLACK AND WHITE.

EVERY LEGEND HAS
ITS BEGINNING.

MINE STARTS
IN LINCOLN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO,

A LITTLE MORE THAN A DECADE
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR,

WHEN THE WEST IS WIDE-OPEN

AND THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE
ENDLESS.

Bell:
IT WAS THE LAST SIREN'S SONG
OF EASY MONEY,

AND PEOPLE CAME OUT WEST.

THE LAND WAS PRACTICALLY FREE,

AND IF YOU COULD FIND
A MINERAL STRIKE,

THEN IT WAS
JUST A DREAM COME TRUE.

AND SO THESE PEOPLE WERE
DRIVEN OUT HERE BY THAT DREAM.

Hutton: EVERYONE'S ON THE MAKE.
EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO MAKE IT.

[ STEER SNORTS ]

[ HORSE SNORTS ]

THAT'S ME -- BILLY BONNEY.

20 YEARS OLD AND JUST TRYING
TO GET BY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THIS DAY WAS
GONNA CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER.

THAT'S JOHN TUNSTALL...

[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

...THE OWNER OF THE HORSE
I WAS PLANNING TO BORROW...

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE,
LAD.

...UNTIL HE GOT
THE DROP ON ME.

HE HAD EVERY RIGHT

TO SHOOT ME DEAD
THEN AND THERE.

BUT HE DIDN'T.

I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU'RE ANY GOOD WITH THAT COLT,

ARE YOU, MATE?

[ GUNSHOT ]

DAMN, BILLY.
GOOD SHOT, LAD.

LUCKY FOR ME, TUNSTALL WAS
HIRING RANCH HANDS.

ESPECIALLY THOSE
WHO COULD HANDLE A GUN.

HELL, BILLY, YOU COULD
SHOOT THE WINGS OFF A FLY.

TUNSTALL ESSENTIALLY STRIKES
A DEAL WITH THE KID,

AND INSTEAD OF PROSECUTING HIM,
HE GIVES HIM A JOB.

ONE, TWO, LIFT!
[ GRUNTS ]

WHOO!

YOU GOT THAT, CHARLIE?

Boggs:
BY THIS POINT IN HIS LIFE,

BILLY THE KID KNOWS HIS WAY
AROUND HORSES.

HE KNOWS HIS WAY
AROUND CATTLE.

HE'S THE PERFECT FIT
TO BE RIDING FOR A RANCH

IN LINCOLN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO,
IN THE LATE 1870s.

IF TUNSTALL HADN'T TAKEN
A CHANCE ON ME,

YOU MIGHT NEVER HAVE HEARD
THE NAME BILLY THE KID.

Courtney:
HE HAD HAD FAITH IN BILLY

THAT HE COULD
TURN HIS LIFE AROUND,

AND I THINK BILLY WAS GRATEFUL
UNTIL THE END.

BUT TUNSTALL'S END CAME
FAR TOO SOON

AND THRUST ME INTO
ONE OF THE BLOODIEST CONFLICTS

IN WILD WEST HISTORY.

YOU SEE,
JOHN WAS AN HONEST MAN,

BUT HE HAD
HIS SHARE OF ENEMIES.

LINCOLN COUNTY WAS CONTROLLED

BY A GANG OF CORRUPT RANCHERS
AND LAWMEN.

THEY CALLED THEMSELVES
"THE HOUSE."

Hutton: THE TOWN OF LINCOLN,
THE COUNTY SEAT

OF THE LARGEST COUNTY
IN THE UNITED STATES,

IS CONTROLLED BY
WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE HOUSE.

MURPHY, DOLAN, AND RILEY ARE
THE MAIN PARTNERS.

Gardner:
LAWRENCE MURPHY AND JIMMY DOLAN
BASICALLY CONTROLLED

THE ENTIRE SOUTHEASTERN PART
OF NEW MEXICO.

THEY MADE MONEY

ON BEEF CONTRACTS
WITH THE MILITARY.

THEY SERVED AS BANKERS.

THEY WERE ALSO MERCHANTS.

Ellis: THERE WERE TWO WAYS
YOU BOUGHT INFLUENCE --

WITH MONEY OR A BULLET.

THERE'S NO QUESTION

THAT VIOLENCE WAS A CURRENCY
OUT HERE,

AND THE THREAT OF VIOLENCE WAS
ALWAYS SOMETHING

THAT YOU LIVED WITH.

AND YOU ARMED YOURSELF
AGAINST IT.

JOHN WAS A NEWCOMER,

AND THE HOUSE DIDN'T TAKE
KINDLY TO NEWCOMERS,

ESPECIALLY AN ENGLISHMAN.

Bell: JOHN TUNSTALL CAME
TO LINCOLN COUNTY.

HE WANTED TO MAKE HIS MARK.

HE WENT UP AGAINST
THE IRISH CROWD,

WHO WERE
JUST OUT OF THE MILITARY.

THEY WERE ROMAN CATHOLIC.
HE WAS PROTESTANT.

Gomber: RIGHT TO THE END,
HE SEEMS TO HAVE UNDERESTIMATED

WHO HE WAS DEALING WITH.

THE MORNING STARTED LIKE
ANY OTHER.

BUT IT WOULD END
IN BLOODSHED.

THIS WAS THE DAY BILLY BONNEY,
RANCH HAND,

BECAME BILLY THE KID,
OUTLAW.

THE KID WAS ONE OF THE COWBOYS
THAT TUNSTALL HAD WITH HIM

WHEN THEY WERE DRIVING
SOME HORSES INTO LINCOLN.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW
THAT THERE WAS

A DULY AUTHORIZED
SHERIFF'S POSSE

THAT INCLUDED KNOWN OUTLAWS
PURSUING THEM.

RIGHT, LADS.

PUFF OUT OF SIGHT,
AND I'LL HAVE A WORD.

SHERIFF BRADY WAS
IN THE POCKET OF THE HOUSE.

HE HAD TRUMPED UP
A CHARGE AGAINST JOHN

AND FORMED A POSSE
TO BRING HIM IN.

IT'S OKAY, KID.
I'LL BE ALONG.

BUT BRADY HAD NO INTENTION
OF TAKING JOHN ALIVE.

WAIT TILL HE GETS CLOSER.

Hutton:
YOUNG JOHN TUNSTALL THOUGHT
THAT THE LAW WOULD PROTECT HIM.

HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT IN NEW MEXICO,

THE GUN TRUMPED THE LAW
EVERY TIME.

WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

[ GUN COCKS ]

Courtney:
WHEN TUNSTALL WAS MURDERED,
HE HAD REALLY LOST

THE LAST PERSON
THAT REALLY CARED FOR HIM.

Boggs:
THIS IS GONNA REALLY SHATTER

EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING
IN LINCOLN COUNTY AT THE TIME.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
YOU'VE GONE FROM A WAR

OF TALKING AND THREATS
AND ARREST

TO A WAR OF OUTRIGHT MURDER.

JOHN WAS THE FIRST CASUALTY
IN THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR.

BUT I RESOLVED THEN
THAT HE WOULD NOT BE THE LAST.

Bell:
LEGEND SAYS THAT BILLY THE KID
STOOD OVER JOHN TUNSTALL'S GRAVE

AND SWORE REVENGE ON EVERY MAN
WHO KILLED HIM.

Hutton: WHEN OTHERS WERE WILLING
TO LET THINGS PASS,

WHEN OTHERS WERE WILLING
TO BACK OFF

AS THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR
HEATED UP, BILLY NEVER WAS.

[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

Boggs:
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE LAW IS
AS CORRUPT AS THE OUTLAWS?

YOU TAKE THE LAW
INTO YOUR OWN HANDS,

AND THAT'S BASICALLY
WHAT BILLY DID.

Hutton:
WELL, THE STORY GOES --

AND IT CAME FROM THE NEWSPAPERS
OF THE TIME --

THAT BILLY THE KID KILLED
21 MEN IN 21 YEARS --

ONE FOR EACH YEAR
OF HIS LIFE.

WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT
THE ROMANTIC ELEMENT IN THAT?

NEVERTHELESS,
IT'S THE NATURE OF THE KILLINGS,

IT'S WHY HE KILLED

THAT IS SO IMPORTANT
TO THE LEGEND OF BILLY THE KID.

AT THE HEAD
OF OUR HIT LIST WAS

THE MAN WHO KILLED
JOHN TUNSTALL

AND IN SO DOING STOLE
MY BEST CHANCE

AT AN HONEST LIFE --
THE SHERIFF OF LINCOLN COUNTY.

HE WAS A LAWMAN.

IF YOU KILL A LAWMAN,

THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT
CATEGORY.

Bonney: MOST PEOPLE THINK OF ME
AS BILLY THE KID,

RUTHLESS OUTLAW
AND NATURAL-BORN KILLER.

BUT THE REAL ME,
BILLY BONNEY,

I'M JUST DOING MY PART

TO BRING JUSTICE
TO A LAWLESS FRONTIER.

[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

IN FEBRUARY 1878,

A POSSE OF CROOKED LAWMEN

MURDERED MY BOSS AND FRIEND,
JOHN TUNSTALL.

SO THOSE OF US
WHO WORKED FOR JOHN

FORMED A POSSE OF OUR OWN
AND VOWED TO AVENGE HIS DEATH.

WE CALLED OURSELVES
THE REGULATORS.

Gomber:
THE REGULATORS WEREN'T LONG
IN GETTING SOME REVENGE.

ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER,

THEY CAUGHT UP
WITH TWO OF THE ACTUAL SHOOTERS

IN TUNSTALL'S DEATH --
BILLY MORTON AND FRANK BAKER.

MORTON AND BAKER HAD BEEN
RIDING ALL DAY,

BUT WE WERE ON FRESH HORSES.

HYAH! HYAH!

HYAH! HYAH! HYAH!

WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?

THEY WAS
RIGHT BEHIND US.

WE STILL ARE.

GUNS DOWN, FELLAS.

BILLY, DON'T!
DON'T --

NO, BILLY. BILLY. BILLY!

BILLY, NO. NO.
BILLY, NO.

JURY'S GONNA CONVICT THEM,
NOT US.

IN LINCOLN COUNTY,

THE LAW WAS
IN THE POCKET OF THE HOUSE.

WE ALL KNEW TUNSTALL'S
MURDERERS WOULD GO FREE.

I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD'VE
RECEIVED TRUE JUSTICE.

THERE WERE TOO MANY FRIENDS
OF THE DOLAN FACTION IN LINCOLN,

AND THEY WOULD'VE
GOTTEN AWAY.

BUT WE
DIDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.

THEY ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE

AND, OF COURSE,
ARE SHOT DOWN.

EACH REGULATOR PUT A BULLET
INTO THEM

SO THAT THEY WOULD ALL BE
EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE

FOR THE MURDERS.

AND THEY ALSO KILLED
ONE OF THE REGULATORS

WHO THEY DIDN'T TRUST
TO KEEP THE PACT,

SO THREE MEN DIED THERE

AS THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR
BEGAN IN ERNEST.

THEY PINNED IT ON BILLY,

AS THEY DID
ALL THE OTHER MURDERS

IN THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR.

THEY KIND OF, LIKE, ALWAYS LIKE
TO PIN THEM ON BILLY

IN THE LEGEND,

NOBODY REALLY KNOWS
WHO SHOT THEM.

EVERY CAUSE NEEDS
A PUBLIC FACE.

I BECAME THE FACE OF OURS.

Gomber: THIS GUY HAD PERSONALITY
COMING OUT OF HIS EARS.

PEOPLE WERE CRAZY ABOUT HIM,

ESPECIALLY
THE HISPANIC POPULATION.

HE SPOKE SPANISH FLUENTLY.
HE NEVER CONDESCENDED.

Hutton:
EVEN THE TOWNSPEOPLE,

WHEN ALL THE PAPERS WERE
REPORTING THAT HE WAS BAD,

THEY ACTUALLY GOT ALONG
WITH HIM.

BUT THE KILLER
WITH THE KILLER SMILE

ISN'T EXACTLY THE STORY
THE PAPERS WANT.

IT'S EASIER TO LABEL ME

A BLOODTHIRSTY,
MAD-DOG MURDERER.

AND THEY CAN DO IT,

'CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW
THE FIRST THING ABOUT ME.

BILLY'S ORIGINS,
LIKE SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE,

ARE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.

NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE HAS
EVER BEEN FOUND ON THE KID.

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW
HOW OLD HE WAS.

WE DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHERE HE CAME FROM.

WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS BORN.

NEW YORK, INDIANA, MISSOURI --
IT'S ALL KIND OF SPECULATION.

Hutton:
ONE STORY IS THAT HE CAME
FROM THE SLUMS OF NEW YORK CITY,

AND THAT'S A VERY ROMANTIC IDEA,
YOU KNOW,

THAT THIS KID FROM NEW YORK
BECOMES THE MOST FAMOUS OUTLAW

IN WESTERN HISTORY.

THAT HANDSOME YOUNG DEVIL IS
ME, ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD,

HEADED INTO THE WEST
WITH MY MOTHER, CATHERINE,

MY BROTHER, JOSEPH,

AND MY STEP-FATHER,
WILLIAM ANTRIM.

HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY A HAPPY KID,

AND THERE'S REPORTS OF HIM
SINGING IN MUSICALS

AND DANCING AND STUFF
AT SCHOOL.

BILLY SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN

VERY CLOSE TO HIS MOTHER,
CATHERINE.

CATHERINE APPARENTLY WAS
A GREAT DANCER,

AND SHE WOULD DANCE
THE IRISH JIG

WHEN HER HEALTH WAS GOOD.

TUBERCULOSIS
EVENTUALLY GOT HER.

AND BILLY LOSES HER.

HIS STEP-FATHER,
WILLIAM ANTRIM,

ESSENTIALLY ABANDONS BOTH BOYS,
AND SO THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN.

WHEN MAMA DIED,
WE WERE PUT INTO FOSTER CARE

AND PRETTY MUCH LEFT
TO OUR OWN DEVICES.

Courtney: HE JUST KIND OF HAD
TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO LIVE IN THE OLD WEST,
AND IT WAS ABOUT SURVIVING.

Gomber:
HE KIND OF STARTED TO GET INTO
SOME LOCAL SMALL-TIME TROUBLE.

HE GOT INTO A GANG
OF LOCAL KIDS

WHO WERE BASICALLY
JUVENILE DELINQUENTS,

AND HE WAS ARRESTED
FOR STEALING CHINESE LAUNDRY.

[ CELL DOOR CLOSES ]

THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
I MADE THE PAPER.

AND MY FIRST JAILBREAK.

THE SHERIFF WANTED
TO TEACH HIM A LESSON,

SO HE THREW HIM IN JAIL.

WELL, THE NEXT MORNING,
WHEN THE SHERIFF CAME BACK...

...THE KID HAD ESCAPED,
AND HE MADE HIS WAY TO ARIZONA.

Gardner: BILLY THE KID,
AFTER SILVER CITY,

IS A SURVIVOR.

HE SURVIVES BY ANY MEANS
THAT HE CAN,

AND HE'S VERY GOOD AT IT.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THE NEXT FEW YEARS,
I BOUNCED AROUND

AND PICKED UP
SOME IMPORTANT SURVIVAL SKILLS.

I DEVELOPED A TALENT
FOR THREE CARD MONTE

AND STEALING HORSES.

I ALSO LEARNED MY WAY
AROUND A GUN.

AND ONE NIGHT WHEN I WAS 15,
I WAS FORCED TO USE IT.

OH,
YOU HAD ENOUGH ALREADY?

FRANK CAHILL WAS
A BLACKSMITH.

HIS FEW FRIENDS
CALLED HIM "WINDY."

BUT TO ME, HE WAS
JUST A BIG DRUNK BASTARD.

WINDY THOUGHT IT WAS FUN
TO SLAP THIS LITTLE GUY AROUND

FOR THE AMUSEMENT
OF THE OTHER PATRONS.

AND FINALLY,
BILLY GOT FED UP WITH IT.

GONNA GO HOME
AND CRY TO YOUR MAMA?

HUH?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ GROANING ]

Man: GET HIM!

Gomber: BILLY MAY WELL HAVE
GOTTEN OFF ON SELF DEFENSE

'CAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE
IN THEIR SIZE AND EVERYTHING,

BUT HE WASN'T ABOUT
TO WAIT AROUND AND FIND OUT.

HE TOOK OFF HELL-BENT
FOR LEATHER FOR NEW MEXICO,

BACK WHERE HE'D COME FROM
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Hutton: AND HERE, HIS STORY
SORT OF VANISHES INTO LEGEND

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENS

IN THE INTERVENING YEARS,

BUT WE DO KNOW WHEN HE EMERGES
FROM THAT PERIOD,

HE'S ABSOLUTELY FLUENT
IN SPANISH

AND HE'S ONE TOUGH
YOUNG CHARACTER.

HE'S NOT LIKE
OTHER GUNFIGHTERS.

HE DOESN'T ROB TRAINS.

HE DOESN'T ROB BANKS,
LIKE JESSE JAMES.

HE KILLS PEOPLE.

BUT HE KILLS THEM FOR A CAUSE.

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ HORSE NEIGHS ]

AFTER THE DEATH
OF MY FRIEND JOHN TUNSTALL,

I WAS DRAWN INTO A WAR
I NEITHER WANTED NOR ASKED FOR.

THE HOUSE HAD DRAWN
FIRST BLOOD.

AND WE RESPONDED IN KIND.

[ GUNSHOT ]

BUT THE MAN MOST RESPONSIBLE
FOR TUNSTALL'S DEATH WAS

STILL BREATHING.

AND THAT JUST WOULDN'T DO.

YEAH, I TELL YOU FELLAS
ABOUT THAT BOY --

HEY.
WHAT?

IS THAT --
IS THAT SHERIFF BRADY?

SIX WEEKS
AFTER JOHN WAS MURDERED,

WE SAW OUR CHANCE
TO EXACT REVENGE.

Hutton:
BILLY AND SEVERAL REGULATORS
WERE HAVING BREAKFAST

AT THE TUNSTALL STORE,

AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
MAY HAVE BEEN HAPPENSTANCE,

OR THEY MAY HAVE BEEN THERE
BECAUSE THEY HAD PLOTTED.

THE BOYS EATING BREAKFAST
SAW HIM.

THEY IMMEDIATELY GRABBED
THEIR RIFLES,

WENT OUT TO A LOW ADOBE WALL

THAT WAS BESIDE
THE TUNSTALL HOUSE.

Gomber:
BY THE TIME THEY DID ALL THIS,

BRADY AND HIS MEN WERE
ALMOST 50 TO 75 FEET AWAY.

Gardner: IT WAS AN AMBUSH.
IT WAS A COLD-BLOODED KILLING.

BUT IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS,
IF IT'S A WAR,

IT WAS VERY MUCH LIKE
A WAR'S AMBUSH,

WHERE YOU KILL
ALL OF THE ENEMY THAT YOU CAN.

THIS WAS MEANT
TO END THE BLOODSHED,

BUT THE HOUSE WAS
ABOUT TO UP THE ANTE.

Boggs: BRADY'S HIT.
ONE OF HIS DEPUTIES IS HIT.

THEY'RE BOTH KILLED,

AND THEN THE REGULATORS
RIDE OUT.

JUST GONNA CHANGE

THE WHOLE APPROACH
OF THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR.

Courtney:
IT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

AND NOW YOU'VE KILLED
A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL,

AND THERE ARE GONNA BE
CONSEQUENCES.

Bonney:
IF YOU WANT TO GET FAMOUS
IN THE WEST,

WALK INTO ANY TOWN
AND SHOOT THE SHERIFF.

AFTER I GUNNED DOWN
SHERIFF BRADY,

EVERYBODY KNEW MY NAME.

A WARRANT WAS SWORN OUT
FOR MY ARREST

IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SHERIFF'S KILLING.

FROM THEN ON,

ALMOST ANY TIME SOMEONE TOOK
A BULLET IN NEW MEXICO,

PEOPLE SAID IT CAME FROM
THE GUN OF BILLY THE KID.

THEY FELL INTO THAT ATTRACTION
TO THIS YOUNG OUTLAW,

AND SO THEY NATURALLY WANTED
TO WRITE ABOUT HIM

AND MAKE HIM
THE FOCUS OF THEIR STORIES,

AND OF COURSE,
ALL THE WRONG THAT WENT ON

IN NEW MEXICO TERRITORY,

WELL, THAT HAD TO BE
BILLY THE KID.

SHERIFF BRADY'S DEATH DID NOT
BRING CLOSURE TO OUR CAUSE

AS WE'D HOPED.

INSTEAD, OUR WAR AGAINST
THE HOUSE ONLY INTENSIFIED.

WE NEEDED TIME TO REGROUP,

SO WE TOOK REFUGE IN THE HOME
OF ALEXANDER McSWEEN,

A LAWYER WHO'D BEEN SUPPORTING
OUR CAUSE.

BUT OUR HIDEOUT SOON BECAME
A PRISON.

Courtney:
THE REGULATORS RECONVENE
AT THE McSWEEN HOUSE,

WHICH WAS IN LINCOLN,
AND WHILE THEY WERE THERE,

THEY GOT WORD THAT THE DOLAN MEN
WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE HOUSE.

Hutton:
TROOPS FROM NEARBY FORT STANTON
CAME IN,

SUPPOSEDLY TO BE NEUTRAL,

BUT VERY QUICKLY SHOWED
THEIR HAND

THAT THEY WERE
ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

AND INSTEAD OF RETREATING,

THEY DECIDED TO STAY THERE
AND FIGHT IT OUT.

[ GUNSHOTS ]

Hutton: THEY WERE GONNA
SETTLE THIS MATTER

ONCE AND FOR ALL,

BUT THEY MISJUDGED
THEIR ADVERSARIES.

THESE REGULATORS ARE
ALL IN THERE

WITH McSWEEN AND HIS WIFE,
AND THEY'RE KIND OF TRAPPED.

WE HAVE TO SURRENDER.
WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

IF I GO OUTSIDE,
I'M A DEAD MAN.

IF YOU WON'T, I WILL.

THE REGULATORS HAD RETREATED
FROM ROOM TO ROOM ALL DAY LONG.

IT WAS GETTING DESPERATE.

AT ABOUT DINNERTIME,

THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN
IN THE PLACE

WERE ALLOWED TO LEAVE.

AS NIGHT FELL,
WE WERE RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS.

BUT FOR ME,
SURRENDER WASN'T ONE OF THEM.

Bell: THEY START A FIRE

IN THE UPPER NORTHWEST CORNER
OF THE BUILDING.

THEY'RE TRYING
TO BURN THEM OUT.

[ MEN COUGHING ]

BILLY.
THAT FIRE'S SPREADING FAST.

IMAGINE WHAT THAT WAS LIKE
IN THE HOUSE.

THEY'VE BEEN IN A HOUSE
THAT'S BURNING ALL DAY.

THEY GOT SMOKE.
THEY CAN'T BREATHE.

THEY'RE GRITTY.

ALEX McSWEEN IS
SITTING ON A SOFA

WITH HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS.

ALL IS LOST.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

HE'S NOT A FIGHTING MAN.

AND IT'S THE KID WHO COMES OVER
AND SHAKES HIM AND SAID,

"WE GOT TO MAKE A BREAK."

WE AIN'T DONE YET.

ALL RIGHT,
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

ME AND CHARLIE WILL RUN OUT BACK
FOR A DIVERSION,

AND WHEN WE DO,

THE REST OF YOU SLIP OUT
AND SCATTER, GOT IT?

Gomber:
AND IT WAS AT THAT POINT
THAT THE KID TOOK COMMAND

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

BOYS,
WE'RE BUSTING OUT OF HERE.

THIS WASN'T THE FIRST TIME

I'D FACED
A DIFFICULT PREDICAMENT.

AND IT WOULDN'T BE
THE LAST.

Hutton: GUN IN EACH HAND,
FIRE LIGHTING THE SKY,

HE COMES OUT OF THE BACK
OF THE McSWEEN HOUSE,

GUNS BLAZING.

Bell: WHEN BILLY THE KID JUMPED
OUT OF THE BURNING HOUSE

AT THE McSWEENS',

HE BECAME THE MOST FAMOUS MAN
IN NEW MEXICO.

SHOOTING GUNS, BULLETS FLYING
OVER THEIR HEAD,

AND THEY'RE ABLE TO ESCAPE,
AND IT'S KIND OF MIRACULOUS.

IT'S WHAT LEGENDS
ARE MADE OF.

Hutton: HOW BILLY SURVIVES IS
INCREDIBLE,

BUT HE DOES MAKE IT THROUGH
AND DISAPPEARS INTO THE DARKNESS

TO CREATE MORE LEGENDS.

[ GUNFIRE ]

OTHERS AREN'T SO LUCKY.

[ GUNSHOTS ]

McSWEEN AND FIVE OTHERS ARE
SHOT DOWN

IN WHAT COMES TO BE KNOWN
AS THE BIG KILLING.

THE NEWSPAPERS HAD A FIELD DAY
WITH MY DISAPPEARING ACT.

BILLY THE KID WAS
EVERYWHERE AND YET NOWHERE.

THE NEWSPAPERS MADE IT
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL

FOR THE OFFICIALS IN NEW MEXICO
TERRITORY TO GET THE KID.

UP UNTIL THEN, THERE'D BEEN
NO OFFICIAL IN NEW MEXICO

CAPABLE OF CORRALLING ME.

BUT AS THE SAYING GOES,

THERE WAS A NEW SHERIFF
IN TOWN,

AND HE WAS DETERMINED
TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF

BY CATCHING THE MOST WANTED MAN
IN THE WEST.

[ GUNSHOT ]

YOU'LL HAVE TO STAY
REAL STILL.

WELL, AIN'T I ALREADY?

HOW MUCH THIS COST?

FOUR PRINTS
FOR A QUARTER.

WELL,
THAT'S A BARGAIN, MISTER,

'CAUSE THIS PICTURE'S
GONNA BE FAMOUS.

Bonney: IF I HAD KNOWN
THIS PHOTO WOULD BE

THE ONLY ONE OF BILLY THE KID
THAT WOULD PASS INTO HISTORY,

I WOULD'VE STOOD UP STRAIGHTER,
MAYBE CHOSE A BETTER HAT.

Gomber:
EVERYONE WHO KNEW THE KID SAID
IT WAS A BAD PICTURE OF HIM.

Bell: HIS TEETH LOOK CROOKED,

AND HE'S GOT SPLOTCHES
ALL OVER HIM.

Gomber: ESSENTIALLY,
HE'S BEING REMEMBERED

BY HIS DRIVER'S-LICENSE PHOTO.

AMAZINGLY, FOR 80-ODD YEARS,

NO ONE REALIZED THAT THE PICTURE
WAS A REVERSED IMAGE...

...LEADING TO THE MYTH
OF THE LEFT-HANDED GUN.

THEY EVEN MADE A MOVIE ABOUT IT
WITH PAUL NEWMAN BACK IN 1957.

Ellis: BILLY THE KID WASN'T
LEFT-HANDED.

IT'S THE FACT
THAT THE TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPHY

THEY USED AT THE TIME
REVERSED EVERYTHING.

SO HE'S HOLDING THE GUN IN WHAT
LOOKS LIKE HIS LEFT HAND,

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY HIS RIGHT.

AFTER I KILLED SHERIFF BRADY
AND CLASHED WITH THE HOUSE,

I WAS THE MOST WANTED MAN
IN NEW MEXICO.

PEOPLE TOLD ME
I SHOULD LEAVE THE TERRITORY

AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

BUT I WASN'T READY
TO GO JUST YET.

[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]

[ TAPPING ]

Hutton:
WHY DOESN'T BILLY LEAVE?

THAT'S SUCH
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

HE DOESN'T LEAVE BECAUSE
HE'S A ROMANTIC IDEALIST.

I PERSONALLY WOULD'VE
TAKEN OFF.

BUT HE GOES
BACK TO FORT SUMNER,

AND YOU CAN ONLY SPECULATE
THAT IT'S FOR PAULITA MAXWELL.

PAULITA MAXWELL WAS
RUMORED TO BE PREGNANT.

Hutton: HE DOESN'T LEAVE
BECAUSE HE'S GONNA

PLAY OUT HIS STRING.

THIS IS HIS PLACE NOW.

THIS IS HIS HOME.

THESE ARE HIS PEOPLE.
THESE ARE HIS FRIENDS.

HE'S GONNA STAY.

IT'S WHAT MAKES HIM IN SOME WAYS
THE PERFECT WESTERN HERO.

HE'S GONNA PLAY IT OUT
ALL THE WAY TO THE END.

I HAD ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO STAY
A STEP AHEAD OF THE LAW.

BUT LINCOLN COUNTY'S
NEW SHERIFF

EVIDENTLY MEANT BUSINESS.

PAT GARRETT HAD BEEN
A BUFFALO HUNTER

OUT ON THE STAKED PLAINS.

HE WAS AN ALL-AROUND TOUGH GUY.

REALLY GOOD WITH A GUN.

JUST THE SORT OF MAN
THAT THEY WANTED

TO BRING LAW AND ORDER
TO NEW MEXICO.

DO YOU HAVE A POSE IN MIND,
SHERIFF?

MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

BILLY COMES BACK
FOR ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH,

YOU LET ME KNOW,
ALL RIGHT?

[ SIGHS ]

Bell:
PAT GARRETT KNEW BILLY THE KID
AND ALL OF HIS COHORTS

AROUND THE FORT SUMNER AREA,
WHERE THEY HID,

AND HIS EDICT WAS, "CLEAN OUT
THAT SQUAD EAST OF SUMNER"

GARRETT WAS EAGER
TO PROVE HIMSELF.

HE SET OUT WITH A NEW POSSE,
DETERMINED TO BRING ME IN.

AND HE DIDN'T LET UP.

I WAS
NO LONGER SIMPLY WANTED.

I WAS HUNTED.

OUR PATHS FINALLY CROSSED

IN A PLACE CALLED
STINKING SPRINGS.

[ GUN COCKS ]

SO, THEY HEAR COUGHING
AND SNORTING AND GUYS WAKING UP.

IT'S ALL CLEAR.

Bonney:
HOW'S IT LOOK OUT THERE?

Bowdre:
THINK I'M GONNA GO SADDLE
THE HORSES, GET THEM READY.

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
A GUY APPEARS IN THE DOORWAY

WITH A SOMBRERO
AND A GREEN HAT BAND.

EIGHT BULLETS TRAVELING
AT 800 FEET PER SECOND

HIT HIM IN THE CHEST.

[ GASPING ]

I WISH...

[ COUGHS ]

IT WAS CHARLIE BOWDRE,
MY CLOSEST FRIEND.

HE HAD BORROWED MY HAT.

Bell: HIS LAST WORDS WERE,
"I WISH," AND HE FELL DEAD.

NOW, I THINK I KNOW
THE REST OF THAT SENTENCE --

"I WISH I HADN'T WORN
THIS HAT."

WHAT NOW, SHERIFF?

I'M FAMISHED.

LET'S HAVE BREAKFAST.

YOU SMELL BACON?

AND THEY GET BACON AND EGGS,

AND THEY'RE COOKING THEM
OUT THERE,

AND PAT GARRETT SAYS,

"WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT
AND BE SOCIABLE?"

COME OUT AND EAT,
BILLY.

YOU AIN'T GETTING AWAY
THIS TIME.

HELL WITH IT.

I'M GETTING SOME BACON.

Hutton: THEY REALIZE THERE'S
NO WAY THEY'RE GETTING OUT

AND EVENTUALLY HAVE
TO SURRENDER.

Bonney:
NO POINT BEING GLOOMY ABOUT IT.

I HAD MY FUN.
NOW THE JOKE'S ON ME.

[ LAUGHTER ]

AT FIRST, I WONDERED

WHY GARRETT DIDN'T JUST KILL ME
IN STINKING SPRINGS.

I DON'T BLAME YOU FOLKS
FOR WRITING

SO MANY TERRIBLE THINGS
ABOUT ME.

I DON'T KNOW
AS ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE

ANYTHING GOOD
ABOUT ME ANYWAY.

THAT'S ENOUGH.
LET'S GO.

THEN I REALIZED
I WAS HIS PRIZE PIG,

AND HE INTENDED TO PARADE ME
AROUND THE FAIRGROUNDS.

I WAS FOUND GUILTY
IN THE KILLING OF SHERIFF BRADY

AND SENTENCED TO HANG.

IT WAS UP TO ME...

...THIS SCATTER GUN WOULD BE
THE LAST THING YOU EVER SEE.

I WAS LEFT IN THE HANDS
OF BOB OLLINGER,

GARRETT'S MOST DETESTABLE
DEPUTY.

BUT WATCHING YOU SWING WILL SUIT
JUST AS WELL.

Gardner: PAT GARRETT HAD WARNED
HIS GUARDS,

"YOU GOT TO WATCH THIS GUY

"BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO ESCAPE.

"HE'S EITHER GONNA DIE
ON THE GALLOWS,

OR HE'S GONNA KILL YOU
ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN."

I MIGHT'VE BEEN ON DEATH ROW,
BUT I WASN'T DEAD YET,

AND I WASN'T ABOUT
TO GO DOWN EASY.

Gomber: THE KID'S AGILE MIND WAS
ALWAYS WORKING.

I'M SURE FROM THE MOMENT
THEY INCARCERATED HIM UP THERE,

HE WAS THINKING
OF WAYS TO GET OUT.

Gardner:
HE WAITED UNTIL PAT GARRETT WAS
OUT OF TOWN.

Gomber:
WHICH LEFT HIS TWO DEPUTIES HERE
IN CHARGE OF THE KID.

Gardner:
ONE OF THE ARMED GUARDS,
BOB OLLINGER,

HAD TAKEN OTHER PRISONERS
ACROSS THE STREET FOR A MEAL.

THAT'S WHEN I ASKED DEPUTY BELL
TO TAKE ME TO THE LATRINE.

BILLY HAD VERY SMALL WRISTS,

AND HE COULD
GET OUT OF SHACKLES.

HE HAD PROVEN THAT
MANY TIMES.

HE REALLY WAS
AN ESCAPE ARTIST.

HE GOT OUT
AT LEAST OF ONE OF HIS SHACKLES.

Gomber:
TURNED AROUND LIKE BABE RUTH
AND HIT BELL WITH THEM.

I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL BELL,
BUT HE LEFT ME NO CHOICE.

Gardner:
HE ACTUALLY FELT A LITTLE
REMORSE FOR ONE OF THE GUARDS --

JAMES BELL --
WHO PANICKED AND RAN.

OLLINGER, HOWEVER,
WAS A DIFFERENT STORY.

I'D ALWAYS HATED
BULLIES LIKE HIM.

I JUST HOPE HE WEIGHS ENOUGH
FOR THE ROPE TO HANG HIM.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

HE'S AS LEAN A CUT
AS THE MEAT ON MY PLATE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

OH, DAMN IT.

HELLO, BOB.

Gardner:
BILLY HAS HIS OWN SHOTGUN --
BOB OLLINGER'S SHOTGUN --

POINTED AT HIM
AND PULLS BOTH TRIGGERS.

BOB OLLINGER FALLS
INSTANTLY DEAD TO THE GROUND.

Hutton: THIS IS THE MOMENT
WHERE HE BECOMES

THE GREATEST OUTLAW OF THE WEST.

IT WAS THE MOST DARING ESCAPE
THE FRONTIER HAD EVER SEEN

AND THE LAST ONE
I WOULD EVER MAKE.

RUN DOWN TO THE OFFICE AND PULL
RIFLES FOR ME, YOU, AND FRED.

WE'RE LEAVING AT SUNSET.

Bonney: NOW!

NONE OF Y'ALL INTERFERE,
NO ONE ELSE WILL GET HURT.

I'M LITTLE TIED UP
AT THE MOMENT.

ANYBODY HAVE A HAMMER?

Bonney:
SHERIFF PAT GARRETT HAD DONE

WHAT NO OTHER LAWMAN SEEMED
CAPABLE OF.

HE CAUGHT YOURS TRULY,
BILLY THE KID.

GARRETT HAD ME CHAINED
TO THE COURTHOUSE FLOOR.

BUT CHAINS ARE NO MATCH
FOR THE KID.

[ GUNSHOT ]

Bell: TWO DEPUTIES WERE
LYING DEAD IN THE YARD.

THE KID HAD THE RUN
OF THE COURTHOUSE FOR AN HOUR,

AND NO ONE CHALLENGED HIM.

ANYBODY HAVE A HAMMER?

[ METAL CLANGS ]

THANK YOU, SIR.

Hutton: THE KID GOT SOMEONE
TO BREAK HIS SHACKLES

AND, IN FACT, TOOK ONE
OF THE LOCAL OFFICIALS' HORSE.

AS HE RODE OUT OF TOWN,
CALLED BACK NOT TO WORRY --

THAT HE WOULD
SEND THE HORSE BACK.

Bell:
AND SURE ENOUGH, THE NEXT DAY,

BURT'S HORSE CAME INTO TOWN,
DRAGGING A ROPE,

AND HE HAD FULFILLED
HIS WORD.

THAT LAST ESCAPE
MADE ME A LEGEND.

THE STORY SPREAD ALL THE WAY
TO NEW YORK AND CHICAGO.

SOON, THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS
READING TALES OF MY EXPLOITS.

BUT THERE WAS
A CERTAIN SHERIFF

WHO WASN'T SO FOND
OF ALL THE PUBLICITY.

RUN DOWN TO THE OFFICE AND PULL
RIFLES FOR ME, YOU, AND FRED.

WE'RE LEAVING AT SUNSET.

Boggs: PAT'S GONNA
COME BACK INTO LINCOLN.

HE'S GONNA FIND
TWO OF HIS DEPUTIES DEAD.

HE'S GONNA THINK,

"OH, MAN, I HAD THIS WHOLE THING
WRAPPED UP."

AND NOW
HIS REPUTATION'S ON THE LINE.

IT WAS
PRETTY MUCH A GUARANTEE

THAT GARRETT WOULD
COME CALLING AGAIN.

BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT IT'D BE
TOO HARD TO KEEP AHEAD OF HIM.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS NOW,
BILLY?

COME AWAY WITH ME.

WE COULD
RUN DOWN TO MEXICO.

THEY WON'T CHASE ME THERE.

GOT TO REMEMBER
THAT HE WAS A KID.

HE REALLY WAS A KID,

AND WHEN YOU'RE A KID,
YOU'RE INVINCIBLE,

AND EVEN WITH ALL THE DEATH
AND DESTRUCTION HE'D SEEN,

I THINK HE STILL FELT
THAT HE COULD GET AWAY

WITH MOST OF WHAT HE WANTED
TO GET AWAY WITH.

WHAT HE DIDN'T TAKE
INTO CONSIDERATION WAS

THE FACT THAT PAULITA'S
BIG BROTHER, PETE,

DID NOT LOOK KINDLY UPON
THE RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN HIS SISTER
AND AN OUTLAW.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Hutton: THE WARRANTS HE CARRIED
IN HIS POCKET

WEREN'T ARREST WARRANTS.

THEY WERE DEATH WARRANTS.

PAT GARRETT WAS THERE
TO KILL BILLY THE KID.

[ WOOD CREAKING ]

[ GUN COCKS ]

I HAVE TO THINK ON THAT.

I KNOW YOU DO.

[ SMOOCHES ]

I'M GONNA GET A BITE DOWNSTAIRS,
OKAY?

Gomber: THE KID KNEW
THERE WAS A SIDE OF BEEF

HANGING IN THE KITCHEN

THAT HE COULD
MAKE HIMSELF A SNACK.

[ WOOD CREAKING ]

[ WOOD CREAKS ]

¿QUIéN ES?

Hutton:
"¿QUIéN ES?" HE SAYS.

¿QUIéN ES?

Gomber: "¿QUIéN ES?"
"WHO IS IT?"

GARRETT, OF COURSE,
RECOGNIZED THE VOICE.

THE KID SPRANG BACK,
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE.

Hutton:
TWO SHOTS IN THE DARK.

Boggs: ALL THROUGH HIS LIFE,

THE KID HAD BEEN BLESSED
WITH A STRING OF GOOD LUCK.

HE ESCAPES THE BURNING HOUSE
DURING THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR.

HE'S ESCAPED THE GALLOWS.

AND ON THE NIGHT
OF JULY 14, 1881,

THE LUCK RUNS OUT.

[ CRYING ]

DON'T LET ANYONE
FOOL WITH THE BODY.

I'LL CALL THE UNDERTAKER
IN THE MORNING.

Hutton:
THE KID DIES. A LEGEND BEGINS.

Bell:
THERE'S BEEN OVER 1,000 BOOKS
WRITTEN ON BILLY THE KID.

AND IT'S INCREDIBLE.
AND OVER 60 MOVIES.

Gomber: IF I WERE GONNA DESCRIBE
BILLY THE KID IN ONE WORD,

IT'D BE...

Ellis: DARING.

Boggs: CHARMING.

Courtney: HERO.

Gardner: ESCAPE ARTIST.

Hutton: QUICK WITTED,
BADASS PUNK. [ CHUCKLES ]

Gomber: ...A LOVER.

BUT HE WAS ALSO A KILLER.

THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND IT.

Courtney:
IT'S SUCH A CLASSIC STORY
OF AN UNDERDOG

WHO IS UP AGAINST THE BAD GUYS,
AND HE SEEKS REVENGE

AND ULTIMATELY DIES
BECAUSE OF THAT,

AND I THINK THAT'S WHY SO MANY
PEOPLE VIEW HIM AS A HERO.

Hutton:
A FIGHTER FOR JUSTICE.

BILLY THE KID.

HE'S THE PERFECT OUTLAW
OF OUR DREAMS --

SOMEONE WHO WON'T QUIT,
SOMEONE WHO WON'T COMPROMISE.

THEY CAN'T CHAIN HIM.

IN FACT,
IT'S RATHER AMAZING.

IF YOU GO TO HIS GRAVE TODAY,
THERE ARE BARS AROUND IT.

THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD CAGE HIM
WAS TO KILL HIM,

AND EVEN THEN,

THEY'RE STILL SO FEARFUL
THAT HE'LL GET AWAY,

THEY'VE GOT A CAGE BUILT
AROUND HIS TOMBSTONE.
