Beautiful specimen.
Crude ...
but dangerous.
Whatever the Melkotians have planned
for us, it won't be pleasant.
These could be useful.
Just remember one thing.
To individuals
at close range,
these could be
as deadly as phasers.
In the midst
of what seems so unreal --
The harsh reality.
This is not a dream.

"October 26, 188 ...
1881 .
Tombstone, Arizona."
Tombstone.
Hell
for leather,
right out
of history.
But why here?
And why now?
Captain, the Melkot said
you were the pattern.
He looked
into your mind
and selected
what he considered
the proper time and place
for our punishment.
Because my ancestors pioneered
the American frontier.
Yes.
The violence
of your own heritage
is to be the pattern
for our execution.
We're talking
like we really are
in Tombstone,
Arizona, in 1881 .
Precisely, in terms of what
the Melkots intend for us.
There's something
about that date --
October 26, 1881 --
But what was it?
Ike!
Ike!
Frank! Billy! Tom!
Ike, I was afraid
you weren't going to make it.
Looks like
we did.
I knew you wouldn't
let them scare you away.
They're a bunch
of hot air.
Are they really?
Now they're going to
have to fight
after the way they
shot off their mouths.
You know us?
Funny.
That's what I like
about you, Ike.
You always see
the funny side.
I'm a barrel
of laughs.
Nobody can say
Johnny Behan
doesn't have
a sense of humor.
Johnny.
He called me Ike,
you Frank,
Bones Tom ...
and Billy.
Ike Clanton,
Tom and Frank McLowery,
Billy Claiborne,
Billy Clanton.
Captain, I pride myself
on my knowledge of Earth history.
The names were known
in the annals of the opening
of the western sector
of America ...
the United States
of America, that is.
In the late 19th century
in Arizona,
two factions fought
for control
of the town of Tombstone --
The Earps -- Morgan,
Virgil, and Wyatt,
who were the town marshals,
along with Doc Holliday.
And the Clanton gang.
On October 26th, they ...
had it out.
Who won?
The Clantons lost,
Mr. Chekov.
And we are
the Clantons?
We are the Clantons,
and if this is
a replay of history --
History
cannot be changed.
[Glass Breaks]
It's impossible!
Things like this
can't happen.
Is this a dead man, Doctor?
Very dead, Mr. Spock.
That's one thing
we can be sure of.
Death is real.
[Piano Plays]
Ike, Frank,
hiya, boys.
I didn't think
I'd see you again.
Billy!
Oh, Billy!
Billy, baby, I knew they couldn't
keep you out of town.
Oh, you knew that?
Come on.
Maybe you
shouldn't have.
And pass up
an opportunity to see you?
Don't be silly.
It's taking
crazy chances
with Morgan Earp
right in the same room.
Yes, of course.
The man who kills
on sight ...
Morgan Earp.
Captain, since
we have seen that death
is the one reality
in this situation,
I seriously suggest
you reseat yourself immediately ...
without moving a muscle
of either hand.
If I remember correctly,
that would involve you
in what was called,
"the fast draw".
It initiated
unfortunate events.
You boys want
your usual?
Absolutely. Half
a gallon of scotch.
You know we only
got bourbon,
unless you want
corn whisky.
I wish it was
all over.
I saw Virgil
out patrolling this morning.
Good old Virgil.
We can always count on him.
They been blowing off
all over town
how they chased
the Clantons out.
You'll show 'em now,
won't you?
I don't think we're
going to have any choice.
You'll dirty yourself
with this scum. Come on.
Get your hands
off her.
Now, all right,
all right.
We don't want
any trouble.
If you don't want trouble,
what are you doing in my town?
Just leave us alone,
Mr. Earp.
That's all we ask.
Five of you. You'd like
me to draw, wouldn't you?
All right, I will ...
soon enough.
Soon enough.
I believe he was
actually trying
to provoke a dispute
with Mr. Chekov.
Close, Ike. Lucky
there wasn't two of them.
I guess so.
Sylvia's right.
They've been bad-mouthing
