L.G. Murphy and Dolan ride to John Tunstall's property with their men and Sheriff Brady. Brady tells John that Murphy and Dolan have complained that John's men have stolen their property. John tells Brady that Murphy will accuse him of stealing until he is kicked out of New Mexico and he has no reason to steal Murphy's property. Before leaving, Murphy threatens John that he will be bringing him hell. The Regulators arrive at Alex McSween's home and the house is soon surrounded by Peppin, John Kinney and Dolan's posses. Kinney tells William H. Bonney and the other Regulators to surrender. William calls Kinney a bastard and the posses shoot at the house. William calls out to Peppin and asks him if Charlie Crawford is with them and then shoots Charlie dead. The posses unload on the house once more and evening and night pass without incident. The next morning, the U.S. Cavalry arrive with Colonel Dudley to Alex's home. A Soldier orders the troops to dismount. Murphy yells at Dudley to burn the house down. The cavalry troops start shooting at the home and Murphy's posse starts the house on fire. Alex has Susan McSween leave and as she walks by Dudley, she slaps him and calls him an animal. The Regulators run out of the house and start shooting at the troops and posse members. Chavez Y Chavez rides up with some horses. Kinney shoots William, and then he and Charley Bowdre shoot each other to death. "Dirty Steve" Stephens gets down to help Chavez, but is then shot dead by Dudley. Alex is killed by a Gatling gun and William shoots Murphy in the head.
