Narrator: Previously
on "The American West"...

(explosion)

The nation and big business

struggle to settle the western frontier.

And deputy marshal of
Dodge City Wyatt Earp

has discovered that with more money

comes more corruption.

So the lawman turns in his badge

and heads further
west to a new opportunity

in a town called Tombstone.

Meanwhile in Missouri,

after three years in hiding,

notorious outlaw Jesse
James reemerges...

I want everybody's
attention, and I want it now!

Narrator: with a new gang

and once again finds himself

one of the country's most wanted men.

In New Mexico,

Billy the Kid has been
on a murderous rampage.

But when the law finally
catches up to him...

Garrett: It's Pat Garrett!

Billy will have to plan his next move...

from behind bars.

You really kill 21 men?

Don't believe everything
you read in the paper.

You know, I was never a criminal
until the law made me one.

I had a reason

for every man I killed.

How many reasons did you have?

Twenty-one.

Narrator: After surrendering
to lawman Pat Garrett,

Billy the Kid awaits his trial

for the murder of corrupt

Lincoln County Sheriff William J. Brady.

As news of Brady's murder spreads,

it only adds to the
West's violent reputation.

David Eisenbach: During
this period in the West,

they're just trying to
protect their bottom line.

Everybody's saying in
order to transact business,

we need to put clamps on
all this lawlessness.

Narrator: The government knows
they can use Billy the Kid

to send a message about
lawlessness in the West.

Paul Hutton: In the
entire Lincoln County War,

Billy the Kid is the only
one charged with any crime

and that's because the territory

was determined to get rid of him.

He was bad for business.
He's just too reckless.

We can't have outlaws

if we're gonna bring business
to New Mexico.

Narrator: In a trial
that only lasts one day,

Billy is sentenced to hang.

But New Mexico's infamous outlaw

isn't ready to give in just yet.

Lunchtime, Billy.

Cold grits, just how you like 'em.

Kathleen Chamberlain: Pat
Garrett left Billy the Kid

with two deputies.

One was a nice man named Deputy Bell.

The other was a man named Bob Olinger,

who was a mean, mean guy.

And Billy hated him.

Not so tough anymore.

Enjoy the gruel.

(door opens, closed)

Chamberlain: When Billy was in the jail,

he was thinking...

"How can I get out of this?"

He was not going to hang easily.

Damn.

A little help?

What, you want me to feed ya?

Unless you got a better idea.

Stand up.

Yes, Deputy.

I'm taking this shackle off.
Once you're done eatin',

it goes right back on.

You got five minutes.

Hey, Deputy?

Ah!

Bell.

Bell, don't.

(shackles clatter)

Narrator: Once again, Billy the Kid

has pulled off an impossible escape

that leaves two deputies dead.

Kiefer Sutherland: He
was a very charming guy,

but he literally had no
problem killing anybody.

Narrator: Now the most
famous outlaw in the West

is back on the run.

Four hundred miles away...

former lawman Wyatt Earp has moved on

from the corrupt town of Dodge City...

and is looking to strike it rich

in one of the biggest new
boomtowns in the West...

Tombstone, Arizona.

Ann Kirschner: Tombstone
explodes on the scene

because silver had
been discovered there.

One day you were looking at a
desert landscape of mesquite,

and then, as if a
magician had waved a wand,

suddenly you had a town.

Tombstone was the
absolutely typical boomtown.

Once that word got out,

it swelled in size dramatically.

The usual things that
come along with it...

the gambling, the prostitution,

but also a lot of legitimate businesses.

- To Tombstone.
- To Tombstone.

(glasses clink)

Narrator: Wyatt's brothers
Virgil and Morgan join him

in his plan to mine silver.

But the Earps quickly discover

that the best mining
land has already been claimed.

After traveling nearly 900 miles

to seek out his fortune,

Wyatt's prospects are growing dim.

But the boomtown has a new problem,

and Wyatt may be the
perfect man to solve it.

Anne Collier: Tombstone
in the early 1880s

was your typical boomtown.

But it was hard to get there.

There was not a train that came to town.

You had to go from
train to stagecoach or wagon.

Narrator: Stagecoaches carry

thousands of dollars worth of silver

from Tombstone mines to
the nearest railroad head,

making them prime targets for criminals

looking to make a quick score.

Kirschner: You'd have a driver,

and then you'd have a shotgun driver

sitting right there with a shotgun

ready to take on whoever there was.

But despite all of that,

the stagecoaches were
sometimes ambushed.

Sometimes there were deaths.

Narrator: Looking for a solution,

local businesses turn
to Wyatt Earp for help.

Collier: Wyatt was the
right lawman for Tombstone

because of his background
in the Kansas cow towns.

He understood cowboys

and he understood how they acted.

And he could read the warning
signs before they came.

So it just happened to
be the perfect storm

when he came to Tombstone.

Narrator: Wyatt Earp is appointed

deputy sheriff of Tombstone

and, with the help of his brothers,

begins making an impact
in the lawless boomtown.

Jeff Morey: As deputy
sheriff in Tombstone,

he's remarkably effective.

He trails killers, he
makes numerous arrests.

Men don't escape from his jail.

Wyatt took that law enforcement
responsibility very seriously.

Narrator: In the spring of 1881,

Wyatt gets his biggest case yet...

when a stagecoach
robbery outside Tombstone

leaves two men dead.

When a robbery, such
as the spectacular robbery

of a stagecoach going from Benson
to Tombstone occurred,

it was really a big deal.

Narrator: Wyatt Earp doesn't realize

that he's just walked in on a case

that will cement his
place in western mythology...

and turn him from a
lawman into an outlaw.

Looks like there were three of them.

Maybe more.

Didn't stick around long.

They didn't even get a shot off.

Who do you think did it?

I don't know...

but I know who probably does.

Kirschner: There was $25,000
worth of silver onboard

that was gonna be used for
currency in Tombstone.

Wells Fargo put out

a very large reward

to find the perpetrators.

Narrator: Deputy Sheriff Wyatt
Earp knows that in Tombstone

there's only one group capable
of an act like this...

the ruthless gang of outlaws known as

"the Cochise Cowboys."

The Cochise Cowboys are made up

of nearly 300 cattle
rustlers, smugglers and bandits

spread out across the Arizona territory

who have developed a
notorious reputation

across the country.

Kirschner: The Cowboys were
known for their hotheadedness.

They were a pretty bad lot.

Narrator: One of the most
well-known of the Cowboys

is a man named Ike Clanton.

Ike Clanton's a one-man riot.

He was a notorious man.

Not a man you wanted to offend.

There better be a good reason I'm here.

It all depends on you, Ike.

There was a stagecoach
robbery a few days back.

Two men are dead.

Judging by the tracks, I'd
say there were three men.

You think I did it?

No. Wells Fargo is offering

a $3,600 reward for their arrest.

You give me the three names,

I'll give you the $3,600.

If anyone were to find out...

and I mean anyone...

No one will find out.

I give you my word.

Leonard, Head, and Crane.

Narrator: Armed with names of the
men responsible for the robbery,

Wyatt Earp sets off to track them down.

Four hundred miles away...

Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett

is about to begin a manhunt of his own.

Where the hell did Billy get the guns?

Mark Lee Gardner: Pat
Garrett has two reactions

when he sees this horrible jailbreak...

one reaction is tremendous anger.

Another reaction is tremendous guilt.

Pat Garrett knew Billy was ruthless

and would stop at nothing to escape.

I think he felt like he
was partly responsible

for those murders.

Catron: How do you think it
is that you got elected sheriff

of Lincoln County?

Because you're a popular man?

Some kind of great success?

People of Lincoln County
didn't elect you, Sheriff...

I did.

I found him once, I'll find him again.

Try not to lose him this time.

Trust me, I won't.

Narrator: Prominent businessman
Thomas Catron knows

in order for business
to grow in the West,

he needs to stop Billy the Kid

once and for all.

And this time Pat Garrett's
not taking any chances,

because he's not out to arrest Billy,

he's out to kill him.

Narrator: After Jesse
James' first train robbery

in three years is a failure,

he knows he needs to make some changes

if he's going to
continue his life of crime.

Eisenbach: With Jesse James,
it's like all these movies.

These guys go into retirement,

they need a little
money, and they're like,

"Oh, one more job."

That is Jesse James.

The train's gonna come around
a nice tight bend,

then it goes up a ridge, which is nice,

'cause it's gotta slow
down considerable right here.

That's gonna give us the time we need.

Narrator: Jesse begins picking
his targets more carefully

and hires a new gang member to help him

pull off the heist...

fellow Missourian Charley Ford.

There's something about Charley
Ford that Jesse liked.

I don't know what it was.

And Charley Ford liked Jesse.

Ed Harris: There was a
certain code of honor.

I think a certain
loyalty was probably built

into a lot of relationships,

because you really needed to
have somebody watching your back,

you know, somebody you could trust.

You stay in your
seats, and you will have

a nice story to tell your friends.

Get up, move around,

and you probably will
not be talking to them.

Narrator: After a string
of successful robberies,

Jesse James reestablishes himself

as one of the most dangerous
criminals in the West.

What did I tell you about
bringing strangers around here?

This is my brother
Robert, the one I told you about.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

How old are you?

Twenty, nearly twenty.

How many men you killed?

I'm asking you, not your brother.

None.

I got no use for him.

Jesse, he's my brother.

I-I trust him more than anyone I know.

We're low on whiskey.

Did you hear what I just said?

Jesse needs an extra man

because he has a bank robbery
planned in Platte City.

So he's willing to
accept this young Bob Ford,

who's Charley's brother, 'cause
Jesse liked Charley Ford,

and I'm sure that Charley
vouched for Bob.

Narrator: With another
gang member on board,

Jesse James starts
planning his next heist.

Over a thousand miles to the west,

one man continues to crack
down on crime in his town.

For the past four months,

Wyatt Earp and his
brothers Virgil and Morgan

have been on the hunt for three outlaws

involved in a deadly stagecoach robbery.

But to catch the men,

Wyatt has brought in more muscle...

Two for me, Wyatt.

A famed gambler and notorious gunman

named Doc Holliday.

- Oh, boy.
- My heart's broken.

Kirschner: Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp

met in Dodge City.

They had been friends for a long time.

So Doc turns up in Tombstone as well

and was very close to the Earps.

Narrator: Wyatt plans to ride out

with Doc and his brothers

to confront the men responsible.

But before Wyatt can take them down,

the three suspects turn up dead.

Kirschner: Wyatt wanted
to solve the murders,

only the perpetrators got
caught in another showdown

and were killed.

Narrator: With the suspects dead,

in Wyatt's mind, the case is closed.

All right, boys, poker's the game.

$10 to get in.

What can I do ya for, Morgan?

All right, I'll take two.

Damn it, I fold.

Surprise, surprise.

We need to talk.

What do you want?

I gave you three names.

I want my $3,600.

The $3,600

was for the reward.

The three names you
gave me wound up dead.

I took a big risk giving up those names.

I know you did.

If I had the money, I'd give it to you.

But I don't.

That's not my problem.

It's not mine, either.

I told you don't cross me!

I heard you the first time.

I think we both know you're not gonna do

a damn thing about it.

Get the hell outta here.

Kirschner: Ike was caught in the middle.

And he was afraid that if anybody knew

that he had this deal with Wyatt Earp,

his name would be mud,

because loyalty was
everything at the frontier.

Narrator: With Ike Clanton
looking to make good on his threat,

Wyatt Earp realizes

he's made a new enemy in Tombstone.

Shall we resume, boys?

Narrator: For the last four years,

Lakota leader Sitting
Bull and his people

have been following the
northern buffalo herd in Canada

after being forced from
their native lands

in the United States.

Following the death of Crazy Horse

at the hands of the U.S. Army,

Sitting Bull is one of the few
remaining leaders of the Lakota.

And now, after a brutal winter,

his people are facing a crisis.

_

_

_

_

Sitting Bull realizes he has no choice

but to lead his people back to America

and agree to live on the reservation.

Larry Pourier: I just feel
like he had to have known

this isn't gonna get better.

Any respectful man who loves
his wife and his children,

that's what they're gonna do.

Narrator: Upon his arrival to the U.S.,

Sitting Bull, like thousands of Indians,

is forced to assimilate
to the white man's ways.

Pourier: He was adjusting
to the reservation life,

not that he liked it,

but there was a
certain acceptance, I guess.

I don't think anyone that
was born in a teepee,

that was living the last part
of their life on a reservation...

I don't know how
anyone could've been happy.

Narrator: Knowing that
things would never go back

to the way they were,

Sitting Bull
believes there may be one way

to preserve some of the Lakota culture.

In 1885, Sitting Bull
leaves his reservation

to join buffalo hunter...

Bill Cody's famous Wild West Show.

Andrew Isenberg: Buffalo Bill
started portraying himself onstage.

It was kind of a combination of a rodeo

and performances.

And one of the very savvy things

that Buffalo Bill did
was that he would bring

real Native Americans along in the show

and they would perform,

and they would kind of reenact battles.

It was wildly popular in the 1880s
and 1890s in the United States.

Karl Jacoby: Why would
someone like Sitting Bull

agree to join the Wild West Show?

There seems to have been a
couple of reasons for this.

For a lot of the Lakota who
are on the reservations,

they're being exposed to
these tremendous efforts

to Americanize them, right?

To destroy their culture.

The Wild West Show is
one of the few ways

that they can actually maintain

at least a fragment of
traditional culture

and demonstrate their skill as horsemen

and their skill and bravery as warriors.

Narrator: While Sitting Bull
begins touring the country...

another legend of the West

is gaining notoriety once again.

My name is Jesse James, and
I trust you know who I am.

Narrator: With a new gang by his side,

Jesse James has successfully pulled off

a series of train heists.

But his actions are
gaining more attention than ever.

Gardner: For Missouri, for the
governors and for the bankers,

it's not good when people call
your state the Robber State.

That doesn't really recruit business.

That doesn't recruit land buyers.

It's a stain on your state.

So they want to get beyond that.

Narrator: The railroad companies

reach out to the governor of Missouri

to put an end to Jesse's spree,

offering a $5,000
reward for his capture.

You wanna explain to me what
in the hell took you so long?

We came as quick as we could.

Anybody see you?

No. No... no one.

Sit down.

Narrator: With a new bounty on his head,

Jesse goes into hiding.

And he knows if he's
going to stay away from the law,

he needs to keep his two newest
gang members close to him.

Jesse was the most
paranoid of any of the gang members.

He'd become very suspicious,

and you can't really blame him.

I think that the Ford boys,

he could keep an eye
on them and make sure

that everything is
normal, the way it should be.

All right, this
bounty that's on my head,

it's now on all of our heads.

You understand what I'm sayin'?

I understand.

Yeah.

Narrator: As a man with
a price on his head,

it's becoming hard for Jesse to tell

who he can trust.

(patrons chattering)

Narrator: After escaping jail,

Billy the Kid is enjoying life

as a fugitive.

He never, ever for a second thought
he was gonna be caught.

And if he was caught, what would he do?

He would escape,
because he was always escaping.

And he had a sense that
he had a charmed life

and that there was nothing
that could ever touch him,

and, you know, he's 20 years old.

I mean, he's got that
sense of immortality.

Gardner: Every friend
he encounters tells him,

"Billy, Pat Garrett is a
different kind of sheriff.

He is not going to stop hunting you.

You can flee now, go to Mexico.

Nobody's gonna look for you in Mexico.

Get out of the territory."

But he insisted on staying
in that Fort Sumner area,

that part of eastern New Mexico.

Narrator: But what Billy doesn't realize

is that Lincoln
County Sheriff Pat Garrett

has been tracking him for
the last three months.

The killing of two
deputies changes everything,

and Garrett engages

in a massive manhunt for Billy the Kid.

Narrator: After hearing rumors
that Billy may be in Fort Sumner,

Pat Garrett uses his
knowledge of the land

to track the young outlaw
to a ranch outside of town.

Stay here. I'm gonna go look around.

You know, for the average citizen,

Billy the Kid is very horrifying...

I mean, that he's on the loose,

so there's tremendous
pressure on Pat Garrett as the sheriff

to get Billy, kill him,
capture him, get it done.

Hutton: Billy the Kid's
just incredibly charming,

but he's also deadly, and
he can just turn on a dime.

And that smile could fade and
that pistol would come out.

Qu? es?

Who's there?

Narrator: Billy the Kid
is dead at 21 years old.

But in death, a kid from New York City

becomes a legend of the American West.

Eisenbach: Billy the Kid is
just that... he was a kid.

He was a kid caught up in something

that he couldn't control,
without any deeper ambition

than just to survive

in this jungle.

Gardner: Billy lived in a
very, very violent world.

And the way he
responded was sensational.

And then the way he
died made him legendary.

Chamberlain: The newspapers
pick up on the story.

There are books written about him.

He became what he did

because he embodies the idea of freedom.

Sutherland: When you take
a look at the dime novels

that were so successful back East,

it was always the
David against the Goliath

that was the most exciting.

Billy the Kid was so
attractive in that context.

Here was this very small,
you know, unassuming kid.

But if you tried to take
advantage of him, you'd pay for it.

And there was a great romance in that.

Narrator: The death of Billy
the Kid marks the end of an era.

But while one ruthless
outlaw may be gone,

the violence in the
West is far from over.

Narrator: After Wyatt Earp
refuses to give Ike Clanton

a $3,600 bounty...

the notorious cowboy is out for revenge.

You're a dead man, Earp!

Wyatt!

You're a dead man!

Collier: Ike Clanton
is not happy with Earp.

So he walked around that morning
pretty much letting everybody know

that he was going to kill them.

Virgil!

Morgan!

You're dead men!

Narrator: To back up his threats,

Clanton enlists the help of
his fellow gang members.

It's Ike. He's in town.

Wyatt, he's drunker than hell.

Going around telling
everyone he's coming to kill you

and your brothers.

Where's he at?

Last place I saw
him was over on Fremont.

Does he have anyone else with him?

Four, maybe five guys.

Collier: There was a lot
of anxiety and tension.

And it was brewing, you could feel it.

You knew something was gonna happen.

You knew something was
going down that day.

Narrator: By bringing
their guns into Tombstone,

Clanton's gang knows they
are provoking a fight.

What do you want to do, Wyatt?

Go get me Doc Holliday.

Yes, sir.

Isenberg: Ike Clanton has
been talking all around town

about what they're gonna do to Wyatt.

The Earps make the
decision to walk down there

and confront these guys.

The way to understand men in this period

is an honor culture.

You have to be willing to meet

any challenge to your
honor with violence,

otherwise you're a coward.

Narrator: Wyatt Earp is headed
to a showdown with Ike Clanton

at the O.K. Corral.

Kirschner: The sight of
the three Earp brothers

and Doc Holliday marching down
the dusty streets of Tombstone

to confront the
cowboys at the O.K. Corral

is burned into our mythology.

Give us your guns.

(clicks)

Throw up your hands.

I'm not gonna ask again.

(gunfire)
