[ IZZY ]: MARSHAL ZAK MORGAN!
HERE IN AVONLEA?
DID YOU READ TICKET TO BOOT HILL?
ZAK MORGAN WAS IN A SHOWDOWN AGAINST
THE SEVEN TAGGART BROTHERS.
WAIT A MINUTE.
ISN'T ZAK MORGAN DEAD?
THERE'S NO ONE ALIVE WHO COULD HAVE KILLED ZAK MORGAN.
YEE HA! COME ON, LET'S GO
PLAY ZAK MORGAN, U.S. MARSHAL.
BANG, BANG! YOU'RE DEAD!
I'LL BE ZAK.
HELLO, SARA.
SO, FELICITY, WHICH WAY YOU HEADING?
WE WERE JUST GOING TO LOOK AT--
I HAVE NO PARTICULAR PLANS.
WELL, WHY NOT WALK WITH ME?
THAT SOUNDS DELIGHTFUL.
AUNT HETTY!
AUNT HETTY, I'M HOME!
AUNT HETTY?
OH, SARA, IT'S YOU!
YOU STARTLED ME.
OH, GOODNESS, CHILD, YOU MUSTN'T CREEP UP ON PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
SORRY.
WHAT IS IT, DEAR?
I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO PLAN
THE GARDEN FOR NEXT YEAR.
FELICITY SAYS IT'S NOT TOO SOON.
OH, NO, SHE'S QUITE RIGHT.
THE GARDEN, YES.
OH, IT'S JUST I NEED A FEW MOMENTS TO MYSELF RIGHT NOW.
I'M, UH...
I UNDERSTAND.
OH, WE'LL FIND TIME TO SPEND TOGETHER, I PROMISE.
LATER IN THE WEEK.
GARDEN COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.
SUPPOSE SOMEBODY TOOK A WRONG TURN AT TOMBSTONE?
MARSHAL, HUH -- EVERYONE KNOWS
THOSE U.S. MARSHALS WERE
PEACE OFFICERS ONE WEEK
AND OUTLAWS THE NEXT.
ALL DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF
THE LAW WAS PAYING THE BEST WAGES.
WELL, ACCORDING TO NED BUNTLINE'S BOOKS, ZAK MORGAN
IS RENOWNED FOR HIS DEVOTION TO JUSTICE.
YES, WELL, HIS DIME NOVELS ARE NOTHING BUT ADVENTURE STORIES
FOR THE OVERHEATED IMAGINATION OF YOUNG BOYS.
I HAD NO IDEA
A MARSHAL COULD LOOK SO...
SO DISTINGUISHED.

RACHEL, MY INTEREST
IS PURELY PROFESSIONAL -- I'D JUST LOVE
TO GET AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM FOR THE CHRONICLE.
IF HE COMES ONE STEP CLOSER, I'M LEAVING.
GOOD AFTERNOON, LADIES.
GOOD DAY, MARSHAL. I COULDN'T HELP NOTICE
YOU STANDING HERE -- I THOUGHT I MIGHT TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO INVITE YOU TO OUR FIRST PERFORMANCE.
THAT WOULD BE DELIGHTFUL. MARSHAL, IS IT?
OH, FORGIVE ME.
U.S. MARSHAL ZAK MORGAN AT YOUR SERVICE, MA'AM.
AND YOU ARE?
RACHEL LYNDE. MABEL SLOAN.
AND I'M OLIVIA DALE

WELL, YOU CAN CALL ME ZAK, MISS DALE.
I'M RETIRED NOW.
AUNT OLIVIA, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.
OH, SARA, MEET MARSHAL MORGAN.
THIS IS MY NIECE, SARA STANLEY.
NIECE? WHY, I'D HAVE TAKEN YOU TWO FOR SISTERS.
SARA.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY FAVOURITE NAME.
WELL, IT WAS A PLEASURE, LADIES.
I HOPE YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,
BUT, UH, I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MA'AM.
SARA.
WELL, HE'S CERTAINLY
A FASCINATING GENTLEMAN, ISN'T HE, SARA?
SARA?
OH.
YES.
HE'S NO SUCH THING, OLIVIA DALE.
HE'S A COWPOKE, THAT'S WHAT.

THAT DOESN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE HIM.
YOU'RE NOT SAYING HE'S JUST PRETENDING TO BE A U.S. MARSHAL?
WELL, I--
THIS PHOTO IS IN 1888,
AND THE MARSHAL HAD BEEN
CATCHING OUTLAWS FOR SEVEN YEARS.
HE WAS A CAPTAIN IN THE CAVALRY BEFORE.
IS THAT WHERE HE LEARNED TO SHOOT?
NOPE, HE WAS A DEADEYE AT AGE 10.
I BELIEVE IT.
SAYS HERE THAT HE CAN DRAW HIS GUN
FASTER THAN A RATTLER CAN STRIKE.
I BET HE CAN DRAW AND FIRE IN 2/10 OF A SECOND.
DO YOU THINK HE'LL DRAW AT THE SHOW?
I SAW HIM PRACTISING SOME SPECTACULAR TRICKS.
'MORNING, MRS. LAWSON.
THERE HE IS.

...CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU, MA'AM, FOR TAKING OUR DISPLAY.
LOOKS LIKE I SHOULD THANK YOU.
UH, BOYS,
IZZY, PUT THOSE BOOKS BACK.
IF YOU WANT TO READ THEM,
BUY THEM -- THIS IS A STORE,
NOT A LENDING LIBRARY.
YOU BRING ANY BOOKS
YOU BUY OUT TO THE SHOW,
AND ZAK WILL SIGN THEM FOR YOU.
AND THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT OUR LAST SHOW,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BARREL RACE.
AND YOU'RE ALL ELIGIBLE TO ENTER.
IS THERE A PRIZE?
WELL, OF COURSE THERE'S A PRIZE.
THE WINNER GETS A GENUINE EAGLE FEATHER
FROM CRAZY HORSE'S HEADDRESS.
GAVE IT TO ME PERSONALLY.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE, THANK YOU. ARE YOU?
I...I HOPE I DIDN'T
HURT YOU WHEN I FELL.
I SHOULD NEVER SHOULD HAVE
PUSHED THE DOOR OPEN WHEN--
WELL, JUST HOLD ON, YOUNG LADY.
IT'S MY FAULT. I OPENED THE DOOR.
NO, BUT I'M ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING
ALL RIGHT ENOUGH TO COME SEE OUR FIRST SHOW.
WILD HORSES COULDN'T KEEP ME AWAY.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
MA'AM.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THE EARPS DIDN'T CLEAN UP DODGE CITY.
ZAK MORGAN DID IT.
GOING AFTER THE HOLE-IN-THE-WALL GANG,
SINGLEHANDED, NOW, THAT TOOK COURAGE.
WHAT ABOUT THE TIME HE FACED DOWN BILLY THE KID UNARMED?
BILLY THE KID, WELL, I'LL BE.
HOWDY, BOYS -- I WONDER IF ONE OF YOU
MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO ME A FAVOUR.
I'LL DO ANTHING YOU ASK!
YOU SEE, THERE'S BEEN TALK I'VE LOST A LITTLE SPEED ON MY DRAW.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO...
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS TRY OUT A LITTLE TEST HERE.
WOULD YOU HOLD THAT, PLEASE?
I WANT YOU TO JUST HOLD
YOUR HANDS LIKE THIS, OK, JUST LIKE THAT.
NOW, THIS COULD BE A MITE DANGEROUS.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, WANT I WANT YOU
TO DO IS CLAP YOUR HANDS.
THAT'S IT?
JUST CLAP?
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
OH, DID YOU SEE THAT?!
OH, THAT WAS TOO FAST TO SEE.
WELL, I GUESS I HAVEN'T LOST
THAT MUCH SPEED AFTER ALL.
THANK YOU, BOYS.
MA'AM.
I HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN.
WELL, JUST GO DOWN TO THE TENT.
EVERYONE IN TOWN'S BEEN THERE.
THAT'S NO GOOD.
I DON'T JUST WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN.
I WANT TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
I WANT HIM TO KNOW ME.
SARA STANLEY!
BUT...HE'S SO MUCH OLDER, DON'T YOU THINK?
FELICITY, I'M FED UP WITH BOYS.
ZAK MORGAN IS MATURE.
WELL, HE DOES HAVE THAT IN HIS FAVOUR,
NOT TO MENTION HE LOOKS LIKE A GREEK GOD.
HAVE YOU SAID ANYTHING TO HIM?
OF COURSE NOT. I ONLY MET HIM YESTERDAY.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO GET HIS ATTENTION.
WHAT DO I DO?
THIS WILL TAKE SOME RESEARCH.
