00:47 Inform Fort Smith that Custer and his command have arrived.
00:54 I've already done it.
00:57 New orders, Washington put their man Conant in complete command of operational plan 763.
01:04 Serious consequences if you fail to comply.
01:07 Acknowledge, Terry.
01:09 That sort of lays it on the line, don't it?
01:12 Right on the line.
01:14 Say, um, ain't that long hair sort of a bother?
01:19 Way to be crazy was to cut it.
01:21 I promised to do it for nothing.
01:23 [train sounds]
01:27 [train sounds]
01:31 Custard?
01:56 Benton Conant.
01:57 Have you been informed that I'm to be in command of this mission?
02:02 I have.
02:04 Then we'll have no problems.
02:06 No, not unless we run into hostiles and you don't know what to do about it.
02:10 Oh, I'll know what to do about it.
02:12 Have these boxes transferred to your wagon immediately.
02:15 You're in command, Mr. Conant.
02:17 Sergeant, take your orders from Mr. Conant.
02:21 Well, I'll be doggone.
02:25 [train sounds]
02:29 Sergeant, bring those men over here.
02:32 All right, you heard the man. Move.
02:35 [train sounds]
02:54 Be careful!
02:55 Only ammunition to weigh this much would be cannonballs.
03:00 Why aren't you helping?
03:14 Mister, my contract with the government says I don't have to lift nothing heavier than this rifle.
03:21 [train sounds]
03:25 [train sounds]
03:30 [train sounds]
03:56 [doorbell]
03:59 Send this to Washington.
04:02 Yes, sir.
04:04 It's urgent, so say so.
04:16 Urgent she is.
04:25 Here's a map.
04:26 You'll follow the old overland trails to Medicine Creek.
04:29 Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
04:31 Not if it isn't unreasonable.
04:34 Those boxes you value so highly stick out like sore thumbs.
04:38 You might try covering them up.
04:41 [train sounds]
04:45 I ain't had so much business since the work train plowed into the herd of buffalo.
05:01 Send this.
05:02 Yes, sir.
05:03 General Terry, Fort Smith.
05:05 Their man, Conant, may be an incompetent fool.
05:10 Prepare for serious consequences.
05:12 Signed, Custer.
05:14 I wouldn't send this if I was you.
05:17 You're lucky.
05:19 You're not me.
05:20 Send it.

06:37 Charge!
06:43 At 24, he had been the youngest general in the Civil War.
06:47 Within five years, he had been reduced in rank and sent west to be forgotten.
06:50 But he was not the kind of man to let the world forget.
06:54 His name, George Armstrong Custer.

07:24 Railroad in the west is completed to this point.
07:45 That's our destination. How many miles you figure?
07:47 Oh, from here to there is about 80 miles as a crow flies.
07:51 Of course, we ain't crows, so you can tack on another 10 or 15.
07:55 You ever been over this trail before?
07:57 Yeah, on a mule.
07:59 But never one I had any wagons to worry about.
08:02 Sure ain't good going like this trail we just come over.
08:05 Have to get beyond that ridge where it really gets rough.
08:08 And it's a dog gone drive that the coyotes pack can heens.
08:13 [coyote call]
08:15 Sergeant, we'll take a four hour rest here.
08:22 All right, dismount. Make camp.
08:28 Close sentry.
08:30 When the stock's watered and fed, have the men break out cold rations, get what rest they can.
08:34 See to it no one lights a fire.
08:37 Yes, sir.
08:38 Joe, let's take a look at that trail.
08:41 Mr. Custer.
08:43 What is the meaning of this?
08:45 Any orders the colonel has given you are countermanded.
08:50 We're moving on.
08:51 We've been traveling all night, Mr. Conant.
08:53 Much of it on the double.
08:55 Inform the sergeant and your men as to who's in command of this mission, colonel.
09:00 Sergeant, consider yourself informed.
09:03 They'll obey you without too much trouble, Mr. Conant.
09:08 I can't vouch for the amounts of mules.
09:11 It's a rare breed of man who can make a mule take an unreasonable order.
09:14 However, if you're of that breed, opt to it.
09:17 Since you charted our route, I don't have to tell you there's little grass and no water from here on.
09:24 Where are you going?
09:25 First, to see if that trail's as bad as Joe says it is.
09:29 And secondly, to see if Crazy Horse is preparing a little surprise party for us.
09:34 This is Sioux Hell territory.
09:37 We'll, uh...
09:39 We'll wait here for you. Report back by noon.
09:42 Sergeant, take over.
09:46 All right. Coal rackings and no fires.
09:51 Get any worse than this?
10:02 You think that's bad?
10:04 We got some trail ahead of us that'll make this look like the road home.
10:08 That was my coffee you kicked over.
10:32 I gave orders for coal rations.
10:35 The men ate coal rations, sir.
10:37 The fire was lit on my orders and over my protest.
10:41 You have a gun, Sergeant.
10:43 The next time Mr. Conant places my command in danger, use it.
10:47 It is not your command.
10:49 I thought that would have been made plain to you.
10:51 Not plain enough where the welfare of my men are concerned.
10:54 You've already made two bad errors in judgment this morning.
10:57 Out here, that's two more than you're allowed.
11:00 We just scouted your trail ahead.
11:02 I'm changing the route.
11:04 You can't do that.
11:06 Your orders are to take the Overland Trail.
11:08 I'm doing it.
11:10 We'll get back to the trail a mile to the north.
11:13 Something's gone wrong. They changed their route.
11:26 We've got to attack them now.
11:28 I lose a dozen of my warriors, you talk like a fool, Gray Fox.
11:32 What's in them wagons is worth any price we pay.
11:35 You are a white man, not a Sioux, except by marriage.
11:40 Why should I believe what you say?
11:43 I've proved my right to be trusted a hundred times over the past ten years.
11:48 There's nothing for me in the white man's world, except maybe the end of a rope.
11:52 You are certain about what those wagons contain?
11:55 Dead certain, like I told you.
11:57 I have decided.
11:59 We're going to attack?
12:01 Yes, but not here.
12:03 And not now.
12:21 Anybody that could get wagons through down yonder would be a saint you'd bet to walk on water.
12:27 I had to be sure.
12:29 It could have saved us ten miles.
12:32 Not unless them wagons could sprout wings.
12:35 You know, General, you sure do take an awful lot of convincing.
12:40 Well, this proves I can be convinced.
12:42 We'll cut back to the Overland Trail.
12:49 Come on! Come on!
12:51 Keep moving!
12:53 Come on!
12:55 Keep moving!
13:00 Come on!
13:02 Just how did you get yourself into this mess, Morgan?
13:07 I followed orders, sir.
13:09 Can't you read a map, Mr. Conant?
13:12 The crossing is two miles up.
13:14 The road continues right through here.
13:16 I saw no reason to go two miles out of the way.
13:19 Now you see the reason.
13:21 Get that wagon unloaded, Sergeant.
13:23 I forbid it, Custer.
13:24 Get those boxes out of there.
13:26 Decide you don't touch those boxes.
13:28 All right, untie the ropes.
13:30 You clumsy fools!
13:45 (chattering)
13:47 Ammunition. That's in the box.
13:57 Well, that's the kind of ammunition I always wanted to lay my hands on.
14:01 Now, what I've just told you is top-secret information.
14:08 I expect you to keep it that way, Colonel Custer.
14:11 Well, it's all loaded. Do you want to count 'em?
14:13 Six full boxes of...
14:14 Rifle cartridges, Sergeant.
14:16 Rifle cartridges. Yes, sir.
14:18 We'll trade you double our cartridges for the kind you got in those boxes.
14:22 Mr. Conant, my men aren't blind or stupid.
14:25 You might as well let them in on it.
14:27 I'll do no such thing.
14:29 And I forbid you to say one word.
14:32 I'll grant no man the right to silence me.
14:35 Men, there's something I want you all to hear.
14:40 Now, I know you've been wondering what's in those ordnance boxes.
14:43 Well, now you know.
14:45 We're guarding a wagonload of gold.
14:48 Custer, I want you to keep your mouth shut.
14:51 Mr. Conant doesn't trust you.
14:53 Now, if it was whiskey in this wagon, I wouldn't trust you either.
14:58 It's part of the money our government is paying the Russians for the purchase of Alaska.
15:04 We have been given the dubious honor of delivering it...
15:07 to the west terminal of the transcontinental railway.
15:10 One thing.
15:12 There will be no souvenir-taking.
15:15 Any questions?
15:19 Yep, just one, General.
15:21 How long are we gonna stand around here jawing about it?
15:24 Sergeant, prepare to move 'em out.
15:26 Custer.
15:28 Do you know the penalty for insubordination?
15:32 I should.
15:34 Climb aboard that wagon.
15:36 From now on, I'm giving the orders.
15:38 You can't do that.
15:40 But, Mr. Conant, I'm doing it.
15:42 You can address your complaints to General Terry after the mission is completed.
15:46 Climb aboard.
15:48 [Train Whistle Blows]
15:52 [Train Whistle Blows]
16:18 We got through?
16:21 Yep, as far as we went, which is about four miles.
16:24 It's rough, but it's passable.
16:26 The planes are defending the wagons!
16:32 [Train Whistle Blows]
16:35 Fire!
16:52 [Train Whistle Blows]
16:55 Oh, hallelujah, brother.
17:07 Either prayer worked, or I was born under a lucky star.
17:11 Now, if I could just find my pack mule...
17:14 Let's not tax the power of prayer or your luck any further.
17:17 As the good book says, "Count your blessings."
17:20 Yeah, yeah.
17:22 Were they soon?
17:24 Oh, brother, things were happening so fast.
17:26 I wasn't worried about what breed I'd run into.
17:29 By the way, Colonel, my name's Bledsoe.
17:31 Custer.
17:33 Oh, Custer, huh?
17:35 Well, the only Custer I ever heard of was a general.
17:38 Well, I started at the top. I'm working my way down.
17:41 Yeah. [Laughs]
17:43 Yeah.
17:46 I, uh, I don't suppose there's too much to hope that you're working your way west.
17:51 Fort Bridge is a long way away.
17:53 But if you're not, maybe you could spare me a pack mule.
17:57 Well, it's a bad country to be traveling alone.
18:01 We're heading west. You'd better come along with us.
18:05 Thank you, Colonel. Thank you very much.
18:08 Oh, Colonel.
18:13 The, uh, the direction you're heading in, you wouldn't be following the old Overland Trail, would you?
18:18 Because if you are, you've got nothing but trouble ahead for you.
18:21 Why?
18:23 Well, I come that way.
18:25 Last two days, ran headlong into Crazy Horse and a bunch of his braves.
18:28 Would you estimate the size of the war party?
18:31 Oh, must have been a hundred, my guess.
18:35 But enough to take care of your troop, that's for sure.
18:40 Do we have an alternate route, Joe?
18:43 We can swing north through Lost Canyon.
18:46 All right. That's the way we'll go.
18:49 Thanks, son.
19:08 Sergeant, we'll make camp here tonight.
19:11 You and California Joe have a look around.
19:34 Captain, party approaching, Colonel.
19:37 Trooper, horses.
19:44 Any sign of hostiles?
19:49 No, but that trail to Lost Canyon is about as hostile as you ever saw.
19:55 We'd be better off we as mountain goats.
19:58 No way to get through?
20:00 We can get through all right, but I sure don't like the looks of it.
20:04 It's about the prettiest spot I've ever seen for a bushwhacking.
20:08 Here.
20:10 Now, you see this spot here on the trail?
20:16 That's where the trail runs into this big bluff here.
20:19 So we have to swing north through Lost Canyon.
20:21 Now, down in through here is a dry creek.
20:24 After we get across that way, it's a piece of cake alongside of what we've already been over.
20:29 A handful of Indians with some guns could sure warm that canyon up for us all.
20:34 Sure feels good to be out of that saddle for a while.
20:48 Got any water? I'm spitting cotton.
20:53 Take it easy. That might have to last us for a while.
20:58 I sure hope we got enough to get across this stretch.
21:01 Thanks to the colonel, we'll have plenty.
21:04 Plenty of water?
21:06 Plenty of ammunition, too, I suppose.
21:09 This wagon pool? Not counting the 40 rounds that the troopers carry.
21:13 I don't think so.
21:15 Do you mind if I sprawl out in the back?
21:20 I got more aches and pains than you could possibly count.
21:24 (HORSE GALLOPING)
21:28 (SIGHS)
21:31 (SIGHS)
21:57 Gray Fox says that when the sun is right above,
22:02 Yellow Hair will enter Lost Canyon.
22:05 He will send a scout to look for us.
22:08 But he will not find us.
22:26 That old lobo won't be sure telling the world what he thinks about it, ain't he?
22:31 He can count himself lucky.
22:34 How do you figure, General?
22:36 I don't know what it is to take.
22:38 More or less master of his own destiny.
22:41 And no responsibility to anyone but himself.
22:44 You know, I never thought about it just like that.
22:47 But you might have something there.
22:50 Still, I never seen one that wasn't about half starved.
22:55 There's a dead blame contrary that they just can't even tolerate one another.
23:00 You remind me of something that Sergeant Bustet said about you.
23:05 I'll bet it wasn't any good, whatever it was.
23:08 General, you still dead set on riding through Lost Canyon?
23:15 Not if you know a better way.
23:18 I sure wish I did.
23:22 Well, we better turn in.
23:25 I'd like to get an early start tomorrow.
23:28 [music]
23:32 [music]
23:58 Conant, here.
24:01 What do you want?
24:07 I had to talk to you.
24:08 Make it fast. I don't want to be seen with you.
24:10 I know that. But I don't care.
24:13 All right, talk.
24:15 You changed the route we planned.
24:17 That fool Custer insisted on doing it.
24:19 I couldn't force the issue for fear he'd be suspicious.
24:22 Oh, you're afraid of shadows.
24:25 I'm afraid of nothing.
24:27 I've got two million dollars of gold at stake.
24:29 Then you'll be glad to know I figured out the trail Custer's taken.
24:33 Crazy horse knows?
24:35 Yes.
24:36 Where? Where will it happen?
24:39 [laughs]
24:42 [music]
24:46 [music]
24:49 Now what's the delay?
25:00 [music]
25:14 Well, we rid through it.
25:17 Indians seen a lot of cracks down there, but didn't see hide in a hair of an Indian.
25:22 Then let's get going.
25:25 They're up yonder someplace. I can smell 'em.
25:29 You gonna listen to that?
25:31 Strikes me you're pushing mighty hard, Mr. Conant.
25:35 And with due course, Custer.
25:37 The responsibility of this gold is mine.
25:43 All right, Sergeant, we're going through. Move 'em out.
25:46 Yes, sir.
25:48 [music]
26:10 [music]
26:13 [music]
26:17 [music]
26:20 [music]
26:31 [music]
26:44 [music]
26:47 [music]
27:11 [music]
27:14 Well, California, what do you think? Looks like we made it.
27:26 Yeah, I think old Crazy Horse missed the boat.
27:29 But we'll never in our whole life ride to a better place than that for an ambush.
27:34 Sergeant, let's keep a-movin'.
27:38 Forward, halt!
27:41 [music]
27:44 In the oars!
27:48 Around the wagons!
27:52 [music]
27:56 [music]
28:08 [music]
28:11 See anything?
28:13 No.
28:15 It's gotta be that Sioux war party.
28:20 I told you I seen at least a hundred of 'em.
28:23 What's keepin' 'em?
28:25 It's Crazy Horse. It's a sink. He's got something up his sleeve.
28:29 We got enough water for men and horses for three days.
28:32 The water's your responsibility, Sergeant.
28:35 Yes, sir.
28:37 Somebody ought to try to get through to General Curry.
28:41 I'm sure it'll please him to know that odds against us is only ten to one.
28:46 I'll go.
28:49 If your scout'll go with me.
28:51 Two of us might get through.
28:53 You know this area?
28:55 I've been back and forth across this country at least a dozen times.
28:58 Now you save my skin, maybe it's my turn to help you save yours.
29:02 That is, if your scout wants company.
29:04 I'd be happy to have you along.
29:07 A man can sure get lonesome out yonder all by himself.
29:10 Sioux!
29:12 It's Crazy Horse.
29:16 [music]
29:32 Yellow Hair!
29:34 I want to talk with you.
29:36 The hills are filled with my warriors, Yellow Hair.
29:52 And I'm surprised to see the great Chief Crazy Horse under the protection of the white flag.
29:57 It is there so I could talk to your men.
30:01 They can hear you.
30:03 I want the gold to buy arms, ammunition and supplies.
30:07 If they put down their guns, I will allow them to return to Fort Smith.
30:12 No other conditions?
30:14 One.
30:16 They must surrender you to me.
30:19 You refuse my terms?
30:23 Wouldn't you?
30:25 [music]
30:30 [music]
30:33 We're all ready to leave. Anything special you want me to tell General Perry?
30:48 Only that we're pinned down by Crazy Horse.
30:50 If he wants a relief column, tell him to keep his eyes open.
30:53 He won't have to, 'cause I'll be leading that relief column myself.
30:56 Good luck.
30:57 Thanks a lot, General.
30:59 Take care of yourself.
31:02 You know the lay of the land better than I do, so you better lead off.
31:16 [music]
31:22 [music]
31:25 [music]
31:29 [music]
31:32 [music]
31:38 [music]
31:46 [music]
31:53 [music]
31:56 You sure you know where we're going?
32:00 If it'd been me, I'd have made a beeline all out of here.
32:03 We'd seem to be moving in a circle.
32:05 Why don't you take the lead?
32:08 [music]
32:11 [music]
32:14 [music]
32:18 [music]
32:22 [music]
32:25 [music]
32:29 [music]
32:33 [music]
32:37 [music]
32:41 Hold your fire.
32:44 [music]
32:48 What happened?
32:51 Two jumpers.
32:52 California?
32:53 He ain't hurt real bad, but they took him.
32:56 What'd you leave him for?
32:58 Well, now, you ain't exactly the companionship I'd be a craving if I was left to my own choosing, crazy horse.
33:08 You will not be thinking of amusing things to say for long, Scout.
33:12 Oh, I don't know about that.
33:15 Right now, I'm thinking about my chances of meeting up with you down in the hot place, and it amuses me quite a lot.
33:22 Perhaps I will give you a taste of that hot place before you die.
33:28 Yeah, and I'll bet you'll give her a try, too, you red-heaving you.
33:32 Go ahead. Shoot your best shot.
33:36 There is time.
33:39 First, I intend to see if I can make a trade.
33:43 One small muskrat for the pelt of a broad-tailed beaver.
33:50 Hey, Apco.
33:56 [music]
34:01 [music]
34:04 Yellow hair, surrender yourself and the wagons to me, and I will free your friend.
34:19 You give me very little choice, crazy horse.
34:22 How much time do I have to make this decision?
34:25 This far I will go. The Scout will not be harmed until the moon is gone.
34:30 Then if you refuse my offer, he will die.
34:35 You have heard my words.
34:38 [music]
34:41 I say we attack at once.
34:47 Crazy horse would like nothing better.
34:54 Cassidy, I'm going to ask you to risk your neck.
34:59 You can say no and I'll understand.
35:02 Well, I wouldn't understand if you refused to risk yours, Colonel.
35:06 So shoot.
35:08 It means trying to sneak out of here.
35:11 You may end up where Joe is.
35:14 It isn't too much better in here.
35:18 Blitzo, you'll come with me.
35:23 You're going after your Scout? Count me in.
35:26 Sergeant, you take over here.
35:29 If anything happens to me, get these wagons through.
35:33 Yes, sir.
35:35 [music]
35:42 [music]
35:45 [music]

36:56 Crazy horse.
36:59 I wait for your decision.
37:03 It has been made.
37:06 Yellow Hair has been relieved of his command.
37:09 We will surrender him to you, along with the arms and the wagons.
37:13 But under one condition.
37:15 That you prove to us that the man you have taken prisoner is alive and will be freed.
37:21 [music]
37:24 As you see, he lives.
37:31 Bring him here.
37:33 Prove to me that Yellow Hair no longer leads you.
37:36 [music]
37:39 [music]
37:48 All right, Conant. It's up to you.
37:51 Up to me?
37:54 Prove to that suspicious Indian that we mean what we say.
37:57 Give me one reason why I should.
37:59 Custer's scout means nothing to me.
38:02 It does to me.
38:04 So move out.
38:08 [music]
38:12 [music]
38:17 [music]
38:20 Right here behind you.
38:23 You think I'd betray my mission?
38:26 I know nothing about that, Mr. Conant.
38:29 But this thing sticking you in the back is my pistol.
38:34 So sing out.
38:36 Crazy horse.
38:38 My name is Benton Conant.
38:42 I'm from the State Department.
38:44 This mission is now under my command.
38:47 Only if you meet me alone will I believe you.
38:50 [music]
38:54 Return to camp.
39:01 The only thing I know about you...
39:04 is that you're a pain in the...
39:07 beg on your pardon.
39:10 Anyways, Colonel Custer has his own ideas on a little chit-chat with that Indian.
39:15 Tell him you think it'd be better if he talked to a soldier.
39:18 [music]
39:21 [music]
39:25 [gunshots]
39:33 Get ready to fight.
39:38 [music]
39:41 Kill the scout.
39:47 [music]
40:05 [music]
40:08 It's a trick.
40:30 There are no more soldiers.
40:33 [music]
40:36 Oh, you sure had me fooled, California.
40:46 Making out that you were so much smarter than those Indians.
40:48 Well, I didn't plan on being jumped by no dad-blame renegade.
40:52 You mean Bledsoe?
40:54 Yeah, that fella turned out to be more coyote than crazy horse himself.
40:58 Leastways, crazy horse will meet a man head on.
41:01 What happened to Bledsoe, I mean?
41:04 I killed him, Mr. Conant.
41:06 I'm gonna try to make that up to you, General.
41:11 If I live long enough.
41:13 If I lost you, Joe...
41:15 who'd I have to blame for getting us into a situation like this?
41:19 Yellow hair has answered us.
41:30 When the sun is full...
41:32 we will attack.
41:35 [music]
41:38 I want to talk to you, Custer.
41:47 You're right ahead, Mr. Conant.
41:50 What are you planning to do?
41:52 The next move belongs to crazy horse.
41:56 If you lose your mind, Denny...
41:59 the Plains Indians usually won't make a stand-up fight.
42:02 They prefer to hit and run.
42:04 Behind these wagons, we can make every attack a costly one for crazy horse.
42:10 We can hold this position for quite a while if necessary.
42:15 But I don't think the Indians will fight that long, not even with crazy horse behind them.
42:20 I see. Thanks.
42:22 California is resting like a baby, sir.
42:28 Never thought I'd see the day that he'd be shook up.
42:31 It's the first time for everything, Sergeant.
42:34 Including getting ourselves whipped by the Indians.
42:37 This may be the time...
42:39 seeing as how we're so badly outnumbered.
42:42 We've been outnumbered before.
42:45 Yes, sir.
42:47 But we always had a trick up our sleeves.
42:50 That sun will be popping up in a minute.
42:54 And you know what that means.
42:56 How much powder do we have?
42:58 Five barrels.
43:00 Fifty pounds each.
43:02 Break them out.
43:03 Now?
43:04 Now.
43:05 Yes, sir.
43:08 Make sure you set these kegs far enough away from the wagons.
43:18 Yes, sir.

44:21 Trooper, cut that powder trail.
44:28 It didn't look like an accident, Mr. Conant.
44:39 It was deliberate.
44:43 [♪♪♪]
44:47 Now, let him go.
44:50 [♪♪♪]
44:53 [grunting]
44:58 [grunting]
45:02 [grunting]
45:06 He's standing around.
45:08 Hold it, Sarge.
45:09 Let's let the generals get in his range.
45:12 [grunting]
45:14 [♪♪♪]
45:17 All right.
45:23 Back to your posts.
45:25 Mr. Conant, I think it's time we had a little talk.
45:31 You can't win, Custer.
45:35 Your only chance is to surrender to me.
45:39 Surrender?
45:41 I don't know the meaning of that word.
45:44 And if we die, you die with us.
45:48 There's no need for any of us to die.
45:51 Give us that gold.
45:53 Crazy Horse City, let all your men go.
45:55 I know what Crazy Horse said.
45:58 I want to know about you.
46:00 Were you in on this with Bledsoe?
46:02 Yes.
46:04 I knew him before.
46:06 And when I found out about the gold,
46:08 I got in touch with him again.
46:10 He arranged the details with Crazy Horse, the trap here.
46:13 We were gonna split the gold.
46:15 They would have got half to buy guns.
46:17 I was to keep the rest.
46:19 Looks like we got another little problem on our hands, General.
46:23 Sergeant, tie him up.
46:28 Hold your fire.
46:32 Steady.
46:35 I don't suppose there's any chance he wants to talk some more.
46:39 I doubt it, Joe.
46:41 Well, now, would you look at that.
46:48 And that.
46:52 What are they stopping for?
46:57 Maybe they saw us with that powder.
46:59 Nah, he's just trying to impress us
47:01 with all the braves he's got on his side.
47:08 Get ready.
47:10 Here they come.
47:12 Hold your fire.
47:14 Now!
47:21 Steady.
47:32 Steady.
47:34 Steady.
47:40 Steady.
47:42 Fire at will!
48:05 Fire at will!
48:08 Fire at will!
48:10 Stop fighting, you fool! You'll kill us all!
48:25 [gunfire]
48:27 Cease fire!
48:52 [tires screeching]
48:54 There will be other days, Yellow Hair.

49:17 [music continues]
49:19 Who's in charge here?
49:46 I am, sir. Second Lieutenant Cooper.
49:49 At ease, Lieutenant.
49:51 When's the next official train to win?
49:55 By, uh, day after next, I think.
49:58 Tell the think, Lieutenant.
50:02 One thing.
50:06 Before I start sleeping until that next train arrives.
50:09 Yes, sir?
50:11 I want a receipt for the contents of this wagon.
50:14 Do you think that'll be necessary, sir?
50:17 Since I want you to do my worrying for me, it is.
50:20 And just what does this property consist of, Colonel?
50:24 Two million dollars in gold, Lieutenant.
50:27 Two million dollars in...
50:31 And it's all yours till I wake up, about 30 hours from now.
50:36 Finish your evening.
