Original subtitles

- Previously on Wild West Chronicles.

(punching aggressively)

- We're outnumbered in this town.

- One good man,

maybe all it takes to turn the tide.

- We've got our hooks in you now.

Don't we Masterson.

- It's been a while.

Since you were in town spike care to share your plans?

- Taking a show of Dora Hand

still gracing the stage

- * stay by my side

- * If you love me

- Tell me that's not worth fighting for.

- I'm the man of the hour.

- Watch out Bat.

- Dora!

- Pinning after something,

you can't have that's where lies madness.

(gunshots firing)

- Spike did this.

- You gave me the badge Wyatt

and I intend to use it.

To do what kill him?

Don't get in my way.

(yelling) Bat! Bat!

(train engine roaring)

- I was just a young man.

When I first headed west,

the years that followed, I became a cowboy,

a gunslinger, and even served as sheriff

of Dodge city.

The most lawless towns in the country.

My name is Bat Masterson.

Now I'm a reporter

and I've come west again to chronicle

the world that I know the best.

The American west

lure of gold,

land,

destiny,

flooded the frontier with men,

both good and bad.

These are the incredible,

true tales of the wild west.

(wild west chronicles)

* List while I woo thee with soft melody *

* Gone are the cares of life's busy throng *

* Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me *

* Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me *

( audience cheering)

(audience clapping)

- Bat Masterson, is that you?

- Howdy, Dora!

I was hoping for an autograph.

- I heard you were back in Dodge.

How long do you plan to stick around this time?

- Maybe for good.

You're looking at the new owner

of the Lone Star dance hall,

could use a singer.

- I'm flattered,

but the mayor's drawing up my contract

as we speak.

What are you really doing here, Bat?.

- Like I said,

plant roots.

We're gonna build something.

- And this is strictly a business proposition.

- Fine,

fine,

Dora we-

Dora?

(intense piano playing)

Spike!

- You are too late Sheriff.

- She's gone,

you failed!

(gunshot firing)

- Whoa, buddy!

don't shoot.

- Wyatt

- I am not going back to Dodge

not without Spike.

- I know,

it's why we're here.

- He's gotta pay for killing Dora.

- He will,

but we gotta show the people.

we can mete out real justice.

- How many times has Spike slipped

out of the noose because

of his old man's money.

Justice is a joke to these people,

They play by their own rules.

I say we played by ours.

- It's not a choice.

You and I swore an oath,

an oath to uphold the law.

We'll see this through Bat,

but we bring him back alive.

You hear me?

Alive.

(door knocking)

- Excuse me, Mr. Masterson,

you cannot leave us

in such a state of suspense, sir.

- Mr. Masterson.

- I am so sorry.

- Edgar,

who is this?

- This is my - Ellie!

She's my-

- I am his wife, his (speaking foreign language )

other than the newspaper job, of course.

And though I should be crossed with you,

Mr. Masterson.

The fact is when I heard the tale,

Wyatt Earp and the murder of Dora Hand

a tail crudely left unfinished.

Well, I knew that I would not be able to sleep

until I had heard the end.

- I can use some coffee.

- Excellent idea!

Edgar, dear would you make us a pot?

- Yes, my love.

(clears throat)

- So, you left Dodge in pursuit of Spike Kennedy.

How long did it take you to track him down?

- Long enough!

We knew Spike would head for Texas

where his family could protect him.

- Race against time.

- Not to mention the elements.

We got hit by a wall of rain and thunder

I'd steered teams through worst,

my Buffalo hunting days,

but

time was slipping away.

So was Spike.

(thunder clapping)

Luckily I knew a little used shortcut

to get around him.

(thunder clapping)

We can jump the trail here, cut him off,

at the old ranch house.

- Before he reaches mete city,

brilliant.

(dramatic music playing)

- Are you sure he will come through here Bat?

- every pope between dodge city and Texas

knows this place is abandoned.

Hunt spike.

Swear. I gotta hunker down.

- Bat. Take the barn.

We'll search the grounds.

(gunshots firing)

- Show yourself Spike!

(breathing heavily)

(horse neighing)

(gunshots firing)

(gunshots firing)

- Get the horses.

(panting)

- Alert Bat!

(upbeat music playing)

(wild west chronicles)

(dramatic music playing)

- Oh

(shotgun clicking)

(shotgun firing)

Oh

(breathing heavily)

(shotgun clicking)

- What took you so long?

- It's over Spike

- Did I get him?

Is Kelly dead?

- Mayor's alive.

- He wasn't alone.

Dora was with him.

- Dora?

- That's right you filth.

You killed her.

- You should have made a better shot.

- Well I did the best I could.

- Pull the trigger.

(yelling) Pull it!

(breathing heavily)

- Huh, hope you didn't waste anytime hanging him.

- Ellie.

- Don't get ahead of yourself.

Vengeance is swift but justice demands patience.

Of course, people of Dodge

shared your sentiment.

We got Spike back across the deadline

news spread through Dodge like a wildfire.

We didn't know what to expect.

(dramatic music playing)

- There you are you cowardly little,

oh I have dreamt of this,

bet you think you'd reason

out of this don't you?

Not this time son, this time, you hang!

- Sheriff, they are coming for him.

- Who is Bill?

- Just crossed the deadline, be here any minute.

- Mr. Mayor now would be a good time

to address your constituents.

- I uh, I think that's more a matter for the law.

Gentlemen!

(slamming door)

- Look kind of sad, are you boys running?

- Stay at my back if you have to shoot aim high.

Gonna try to reason with them.

- I think I am with them Wyatt

we all know how this ends

does it really matter

who strings him up?

(people yelling)

- Good evening gents

Something' we can help you with?

- You can clear out Marshall,

we aint got no quarrel with you

we just come for spike.

- Well this is a pickle

'cause fact of the matter is

we got him first

and he ain't goin' anywhere

you have my word.

- You can't promise that

his rich dad is coming to bail him out.

- I hear you.

I see your anger

and I share it.

But this isn't who we are

we gotta show we are better than

the likes of him.

(crowd yelling)

- We will vacate Earp

'cause we are coin' in

(crowd getting aggressive)

(upbeat music playing)

(wild west chronicles)

- Come on, come on (crowd yelling)

(shotgun firing)

- Nobody's leaving this jail tonight.

Nobody's coming in.

- Everyone go home,

Go home now!

(melancholy music playing)

- I don't know what to say

Got a new singer The Alhambra

Got a voice like a rusty squeezebox

I am having these dreams

I keep trying' to tell you something

and you won't let me.

Huh, like I am talking to myself

that was the day it all went south

Mifflin Kennedy came to Dodge

patriarch of a Texas cattle empire

a 1,75,000 acre ranch

Spike's last hope for deliverance.

- But you knew Spike's father would come.

Why didn't you stop him?

- Well you can't keep a free citizen

from going where he likes

specially not one that kept

half of Dodge at work.

This man bought in 15,000

head of cattle every year.

Hearing was set, all we could do is wait

- Let's go. Judge is waiting.

(intense music playing)

- If I not see you again sheriff

I sure enjoyed our time with you.

- Oh , you'll see me again

When you take your last walk to the gallows.

Spike's father met with the judge

behind closed doors

the whole city seemed stopped breathing.

Our minds went wild waiting.

- He's back.

- Where is he? What happened?

- Uh! (sighing aggressively)

he walked!

- What?

- They said they didn't have

enough evidence to hold him

It's the judge, I will never prove it

but he was behind it.

- Where's Spike now?

Wyatt where?

(horse snorting)

(dramatic music playing)

- What are you doing?

- What you couldn't.

Ending this.

- I can't let you do that.

- Get out of my way!

(punching aggressively)

- Bat,

stop it!

- Was it our fault Wyatt

we did everything right

played by the rules and look what happened.

- We don't have to like it.

We just have to accept it.

- It's not good enough.

( throwing badge )

- Bat!

I won't stop you.

But if you do this,

if you ride out

into the flat lands alone with

only your rage to guide you

you will never find your way back.

(door slamming)

(dramatic music playing)

(horse snorting)

(upbeat music playing)

(wild west chronicles)

(intense music playing)

- Mr. Masterson?

Mr. Masterson?

Did you pursue?

- I went to see an old friend.

Spike is gone ,

he got away

And there is nothing I can do about it

it was you,

all I wanted to do is

keep you safe

Dora forgive me!

(inspiring music playing)

- Huh

what a story!

- But after all that Spike got away?

Again?

- No one ever truly escapes judgment

not even Spike

all the money in the world

can't bribe Typhoid fever

he died,

few years later.

- Well, I imagine you and Mr. Earp

had no small share of adventures.

- Oh, there were a few.

But they are best told another time.

- Well, thank you for indulging us.

- You remind me of her you know

you have her spirit.

Edgar,

I expect you on time in the morning.

- Of course, good night sir.

- Many people believe Dora Hand

was the most talented woman

to ever pass through Dodge.

She was just 34 years old

when she was so tragically killed.

Though never convicted of the crime,

James "Spike" Kennedy was 23 years old

when he shot and killed Dora Hand.

With the help of some very brave men

Wyatt Earp and I finally brought

law and order to Dodge city.

- You know most people wouldn't believe

half the stuff we live through.

- I hope someday somebody writes about all this.

- You are right, maybe it's you.

- Me?

- Why not? Someone's gotta write the story

someone who's seen it all

someone who's lived through it.
