00:20 Here I am.
00:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:40 Look at that sentry, sir.
00:45 Half asleep.
00:46 He'd be court-martialed if he was in the cavalry.
00:48 Shouldn't be any trouble, General.
00:54 Couldn't be more than a half a dozen of them.
00:57 It's just a hunting party that sneaked off the reservation.
01:01 Suppose we all ought to forget we seen them.
01:05 I'd like to, Joe, but my orders are to drive
01:07 them back to the reservation.
01:09 Sergeant, put the men out so they're surrounding the camp.
01:14 Pass the word there'll be no shooting.
01:16 Sergeant.
01:18 I mean no shooting.
01:21 First man who fires a shot will answer to me.
01:24 My orders are to drive them back to the reservation,
01:26 not to kill them.

02:05 Take cover!
02:08 [GUNSHOTS]
02:12 Become his friends.
02:19 We want no fighting.
02:21 [GUNSHOTS]
02:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:28 [GUNSHOTS]
02:33 Hey!
02:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:55 It's not your fault, Colonel.
03:04 Pretty hard to convince an Indian that you're not trying
03:06 to kill him, especially when he won't
03:09 give you a chance to talk.
03:10 General, over here.
03:12 Guess here's an Indian called Black Eagle.
03:20 He's the younger brother of Chief Tallknife.
03:22 Get me some water.
03:26 Something to protect this wound.
03:28 That's got to stop the bleeding.
03:29 Never mind, Sergeant.
03:38 He's dead.
03:39 One of them braves got away.
03:41 When he gets back to the camp and tells Tallknife that one
03:44 of your men killed his brother, Tallknife's
03:47 going to start the biggest dad-blaming
03:49 Indian warchief you ever did see.
03:50 Charge!
04:04 At 24, he had been the youngest general in the Civil War.
04:07 Within five years, he had been reduced in rank and sent
04:10 west to be forgotten.
04:11 But he was not the kind of man to let the world forget.
04:14 His name, George Armstrong Custer.
04:18 [music playing]
04:22 [music playing]
04:25 [music playing]
04:28 [music playing]
04:44 [music playing]
04:47 Sergeant?
05:09 Yes, sir?
05:11 Get me some burial detail and then dismiss the rest of the men.
05:15 Yes, sir.
05:16 All right, you heard him.
05:21 You all just volunteered for burial detail.
05:25 Dismount and lead off.
05:39 Thank you, Melinda.
05:41 You know, being stuck with a sister around here
05:43 isn't nearly half as bad as I expected it to be.
05:46 I'm not so sure that I consider that a compliment.
05:50 Huh?
05:51 Well, it was meant to be.
05:53 As a matter of fact, I find myself envying your husband.
05:57 You're a fine family.
05:59 Three nice boys and a wife who can cook the way you can.
06:03 Thank you.
06:05 Tell the truth, it's been a real pleasure
06:07 having you out here for a visit, even
06:09 during these troubled times.
06:10 If only you hadn't brought that blasted female dragon
06:15 with you.
06:16 Temper, temper, Alfred.
06:18 Besides, you're the one who insisted
06:20 that I mustn't travel alone.
06:21 Yes, but why bring that female horse Greely with you?
06:24 Do you know what she had the nerve to say to me
06:26 at breakfast this morning?
06:27 No.
06:28 This is the Red Man's land, implying that we didn't have
06:31 any right to be here at all.
06:32 Alfred, you are being so unkind to Anna.
06:36 Besides, you didn't know her during the war.
06:39 She was so young, so beautiful, and so much in love.
06:44 What?
06:45 Anna Coldstone Peverly?
06:47 Yes.
06:48 And John Peverly.
06:50 He was a young firebrand, always backing the downtrodden,
06:53 fighting for social reform.
06:55 He's the one that founded the magazine "Bold Venture"
06:58 as part of that fight.
07:00 And then when he was killed during the war,
07:03 Anna was determined to carry on for him.
07:06 Oh, just the same.
07:07 The blasted female goes too far.
07:09 Now, the next thing you know, she'll be advocating smoking
07:12 and wearing men's pants, as well as voting.
07:15 And what would be so wrong with that?
07:17 I'll tell you what would be so wrong with that.
07:21 The thing that--
07:22 [knocking]
07:23 Come in.
07:24 Secretary.
07:30 Warning him from patrol, sir.
07:32 At ease, Colonel.
07:34 I heard about Tall Knife's brother.
07:37 Couldn't have happened at a worse time.
07:39 I took every possible precaution, sir, but--
07:41 I know that.
07:42 It wasn't your fault.
07:43 You were merely carrying out orders.
07:45 But it was my responsibility, sir.
07:47 There was absolutely no point in bothering that hunting party
07:50 at all, sir.
07:51 There's no sense to this policy of driving the Indians here
07:54 and driving them there.
07:55 We don't make policy, Colonel.
07:56 We merely carry it out.
07:57 And the people who make the policy
07:59 should be out here to see what's going on.
08:01 Some fool in Washington sits behind a desk
08:04 and issues a senseless order, not realizing
08:06 how many men are going to die trying to carry it out.
08:08 Well, it is an order, Colonel.
08:10 It is an order.
08:11 That's right, sir.
08:12 It's an order.
08:13 But if I hadn't followed orders last night,
08:15 seven men would be alive today.
08:17 Seven.
08:18 And a harmless hunting party of Cheyenne
08:20 would have eventually wandered back to their reservation.
08:23 Out here on the frontier, an officer
08:25 has the right to question idiotic orders.
08:27 All right, now that's enough.
08:29 Your flair for individual effort
08:31 has already cost you your general star and your regiment.
08:34 I'm going to overlook your statement
08:36 because I can see that you're upset.
08:38 But when you're given an order, you will follow out that order.
08:41 Our charges are going to be preferred against you.
08:44 You know that, don't you?
08:46 Yes, sir.
08:47 General Terry, is it true that there
08:49 was an unprovoked attack against a Cheyenne hunting party
08:52 by soldiers of your command?
08:54 We'll continue this discussion later, Colonel.
08:57 Exactly the attitude I expected you to take, General Terry.
09:01 I am Mount of Coldstone Peverley, Colonel Custer,
09:04 General Terry's house guest.
09:06 You were on patrol when we arrived,
09:08 but I have been looking forward to meeting you.
09:11 My, uh, uh, privilege to meet you, Miss Peverley.
09:15 It is Miss Peverley.
09:17 It's Mrs. Peverley, Colonel Custer.
09:19 My husband was killed during the Civil War.
09:22 You have my sympathy, ma'am.
09:24 I didn't expect you to be so socially conventional, Colonel Custer.
09:28 To express banalities you have no reason to mean.
09:31 Mrs. Peverley is a social reformer
09:34 and a militant suffragette.
09:36 Militant.
09:37 And thoroughly disapproved of by General Terry.
09:40 You see, I'm the publisher and editor of Bold Venture.
09:43 Perhaps you've heard of the magazine.
09:45 I'm free to have, Mrs. Peverley.
09:47 You've published a number of articles about me.
09:50 None of them flattering.
09:53 Flattering?
09:54 That is quite correct.
09:56 But then again, you don't approve of most of the actions of Congress
10:00 or the President either.
10:02 An office I understand you hold some ambition for.
10:05 If so, can I count on your vote, Mrs. Peverley?
10:09 Aren't you being a little bit premature, Colonel?
10:13 A man has to be over 35 years of age
10:16 to hold a presidency in this country.
10:18 Uh, now, Mrs. Peverley, if you'll excuse us,
10:22 this is a military matter.
10:24 And to be surrounded by the customary secrecy and misinformation
10:28 usually provided by the Department of War.
10:31 May I remind you, Mrs. Peverley, that you are a guest in my house?
10:36 That does not change the fact that my duty requires me
10:39 to investigate all matters concerning the public welfare.
10:42 Despite your convictions of equality between the sexes,
10:45 you still take advantage of being a woman, don't you, Mrs. Peverley?
10:50 [♪♪♪]
10:53 That blasted, pants-wearing female.
11:05 Just the same, I think you ought to know
11:08 that she's got enough influence to affect your entire military career.
11:12 -In what way? -In any way she pleases.
11:15 Despite the fact that she continually criticizes government policy in her magazine,
11:20 she's still President Grant's favorite niece.
11:23 -Grant's niece? -Yeah.
11:25 President Grant and his brother Orville aren't exactly my most ardent admirers.
11:32 Well, that's precisely why I warned you.
11:34 [KNOCKING]
11:36 Come in.
11:38 -It's Tarleif, sir. -What about Tallknife?
11:44 He's come here, sir. He says he's come for the body of his brother.
11:48 And he's wanted to talk to Colonel Custer.
11:51 I'd better talk to him. You stay here, Colonel.
11:54 I'm sorry, sir, but I think Tallknife has a right to see me.
11:58 -I owe it to the man. -You owe him nothing.
12:01 I was responsible for his brother's death.
12:04 I'd like to explain how it happened.
12:06 -All right. Go ahead. -Thank you, sir.
12:11 [♪♪♪]
12:39 Tallknife, I grieve with you for the death of your brother.
12:43 I didn't order it.
12:45 It was mistaken in the darkness before I left--
12:47 Black Eagle was little more than a boy.
12:50 He was like a son to me.
12:53 Did he attack any of your men?
12:58 No. My orders were to move the Cheyenne back--
13:01 Did he commit any crimes against the laws of the white man?
13:03 There were no crimes committed, Tallknife.
13:08 Black Eagle and his hunting party wanted off the reservation.
13:11 For this...
13:16 For this, he was killed?
13:19 No, not for that.
13:21 It was dark. My men moved in to surprise your people...
13:24 so there'd be no shooting.
13:26 One of my men stumbled. Without warning, a fight broke out.
13:30 Then one of your men killed my brother...
13:36 for no reason.
13:38 For no reason.
13:42 [♪♪♪]
13:50 [♪♪♪]
13:53 [GASPS]
14:18 No, I won't fight with you. We've been friends too long.
14:21 Yellow Hair is a coward.
14:26 Men should fight with honor and for honor.
14:29 Black Eagle's dead. It was a mistake, and I'm sorry for it.
14:32 At ease!
14:37 Yellow Hair refuses to fight as a warrior fights.
14:45 But this will not end what is between us.
14:48 We shall hunt one more time, Yellow Hair.
14:52 The death hunt of the Cheyenne.
15:14 You and your men attacked a small Cheyenne hunting party...
15:17 and murdered all but one of them. Isn't that true?
15:20 - From your point of view, it is. - What other point is there?
15:23 For more than 100 years, the Plains tribes have fought the growth of this country.
15:27 Now they stand in the direct path of uniting the two halves of our nation.
15:31 - In any war, mistakes are made. - War?
15:33 Our trampling upon the rights of the Indian tribes by our might?
15:37 I am very familiar with your career here on the frontier...
15:40 as well as with the infamous record of the 7th Cavalry Regiment.
15:44 - Cite your record, Mrs. Peverley. - Gladly, Colonel Custer.
15:48 The massacre of the Cheyenne at the Ouachita River.
15:51 You attacked before dawn two years ago...
15:54 and that tribe of the Cheyenne Nation was almost destroyed by your ruthless slaughter.
16:00 The punitive raid against Black Kettle and the Cheyenne...
16:03 was ordered by General Philip H. Sheridan.
16:06 This is a copy of his official report.
16:09 Between the months of August and November, 1868...
16:12 the settlers of Kansas and Colorado sustained the following losses.
16:16 Murdered, 117.
16:19 Wounded, 107.
16:22 The death toll was 1,000.
16:25 The losses. Murdered, 117.
16:28 Wounded, 16.
16:30 Scalped and mutilated, 32.
16:32 Women outraged, 14.
16:34 Women captured and never seen again, four.
16:37 Horses and mules stolen, 619.
16:40 Stock cattle stolen, 958.
16:43 It is these acts of incredible rapine and murder...
16:47 that forced the attack on Black Kettle and the Cheyenne.
16:52 The newspapers said that there were only women and children at the Cheyenne village...
16:56 and yet you attacked.
16:59 Seventh Cavalry sustained 37 losses.
17:02 I counted 103 dead Cheyenne braves.
17:05 I killed Black Kettle myself.
17:08 You are as convincing as I have been told you are, Colonel Custer.
17:12 But how do you justify your attack on Tall Knife's brother and his hunting party?
17:17 For your information, Mrs. Beverly...
17:21 I don't.
17:23 Do you intend to drop the matter and let it be forgotten...
17:25 as the incident on the Washita was forgotten?
17:27 I intend to take whatever action I consider necessary.
17:31 And so do I.
17:33 I intend to publicize what has happened...
17:36 and I promise you that pressure will be brought upon the Secretary of War...
17:39 to institute a formal investigation.
17:42 [♪♪♪]
17:45 Go along, California.
18:10 You'll see Tall Knife without the troop.
18:13 I've got to convince him that I spoke the truth about his brother.
18:16 You know what he meant by that invitation to a death hunt, don't you?
18:20 I know.
18:22 You're sure picking a hard way for you and me to commit suicide.
18:26 Why, he'll have our scalps a-dangling from a teepee pole before dark.
18:30 You see that my horse is settled and ready.
18:34 You don't have to come along, California.
18:37 I can find Tall Knife's village alone.
18:40 I've always said that Cheyenne was a whole lot meaner than the Sioux are.
18:45 I reckon now's just as good a time as any to put her to the test.
18:49 In the name of scientific research...
18:52 them fellas at that New Smithsonian Institution...
18:55 are sure gonna be awful thankful to you and me.
18:58 I'll go get the mule and the horse.
19:01 [♪♪♪]
19:06 [HORSE GALLOPING]
19:09 We should have decided Tall Knife's lodges by now.
19:17 The last time I was up this way, he's camped off yonder in that valley.
19:22 Why would Tall Knife move his people away from good water...
19:25 and his horses from good grazing?
19:27 The only reason I can think of is to hide these women and children...
19:31 so him and his braves can hit the war trail.
19:34 We've got to find 'em.
19:36 Sure does beat all how fast a whole Cheyenne village can disappear into thin air.
19:42 Look.
19:44 There's a nester's cabin over yonder.
19:48 [♪♪♪]
19:51 [HORSE GALLOPING]
19:55 [♪♪♪]
19:58 Hey, those church people didn't even own a gun.
20:22 Didn't believe in 'em.
20:24 [♪♪♪]
20:27 [SCREAMING]
20:37 [HORN BLOWING]
20:41 Look.
20:46 I'll be doggone, but you take a look at that, General.
20:50 That many braves ain't for our benefit.
20:53 It's Tall Knife, and he's after bigger game than us.
20:56 He's gonna attack Fort Hayes.
20:58 That's right.
21:00 [♪♪♪]
21:03 [HORSE NEIGHING]
21:08 The devil attack! Close the gates! Man the walls!
21:11 They're burning up the countryside!
21:13 They're killing 'em just running over the crops, laying in something fierce!
21:17 They've been a mile behind us, and they're moving fast!
21:20 Move it! Get on those walls! Bugler, sound the alarm!
21:24 What's going on? We're being attacked, sir! Tall Knife!
21:29 [♪♪♪]
21:32 Hold your fire till we're within 100 yards!
21:36 [♪♪♪]
21:39 [HORSE GALLOPING]

21:47 [HORSE NEIGHING]
21:57 [HORSE NEIGHING]
22:01 [HORSE NEIGHING]
22:12 [♪♪♪]
22:15 [HORSE NEIGHING]
22:25 As you were. They won't attack yet.
22:34 You bet they won't put it off for long, General.
22:38 You're right, California.
22:40 Sergeant, get me a fresh horse. Yes, sir.
22:42 You stay right there, Sergeant!
22:44 You remain inside this fort, Colonel.
22:46 This has to be settled with Tall Knife now, sir.
22:49 He'd like nothing better than to suck you into a trap.
22:51 I can take care of myself, General Terry.
22:53 That's a risk that I refuse to take.
22:56 You'll countermand your order to the Sergeant immediately.
22:59 Yes, sir.
23:02 I hate to say it, but General Terry's right, you know.
23:10 [BIRDS CHIRPING]
23:13 California, when are you gonna learn to keep that big mouth of yours shut?
23:21 I gotta admit, Sergeant, I'm just about as good at sticking my foot in my big mouth as the next man.
23:28 Taking this fort could be a job.
23:34 But there just might be enough of them to do it, Captain.
23:38 I... I'm thinking the same thing, Miss Elf James B.
23:43 Open the gate.
23:56 Out of the talking, Custer.
24:07 Why are you here, Tall Knife?
24:09 You've signed a treaty that there are to be no more wars between us.
24:13 I want Yellow Hair.
24:16 You talk like a fool.
24:18 What about our treaties?
24:20 Did the treaty stop Yellow Hair from killing my warriors?
24:23 You were told that was a mistake.
24:25 Give me Yellow Hair, or I leave this place in ashes.
24:30 At sunrise we fight.
24:35 [SIGHS]
24:36 [SCREAMS]
24:39 Colonel, you'll see to it that the men are prepared to defend this fort at dawn.
25:04 I'm sorry, but you have no choice in the matter.
25:06 General Terry, I resent being sent packing this way.
25:09 I'm a representative of the American president.
25:11 You're also a woman, and it's my duty to see that you're safely conveyed out of danger.
25:15 You don't seem to realize, Mrs. Peverly, that this fort is under the threat of an immediate attack
25:19 by an overwhelming force of Cheyenne warriors.
25:21 And you don't seem to realize...
25:23 Your things are in the Surrey now. Now, if you'll get aboard, please.
25:26 Thank you, Colonel Custer.
25:28 I'm only sorry the time was so short. I was counting on having you to dinner.
25:31 I'm looking forward to another time very soon.
25:34 Things will quiet down. They always do.
25:36 I hope so. Do be careful.
25:39 I will. Thank you.
25:40 Come on, Melinda.
25:41 And you be careful, too, Alfred. Don't always be letting yourself go.
25:46 It's a disgrace how little care you men take.
25:48 I know. I know.
25:50 We've got to be miles away from here before dawn.
25:58 I will look forward to our next meeting, Colonel Custer.
26:01 I can hardly wait myself.
26:03 I do not need your help.
26:07 Mount the detail, Sergeant.
26:21 Detail mount up!
26:23 You can make Cedar Springs before daybreak.
26:25 You should be safe to camp there for the rest of the night...
26:28 and then move on to Fort Riley.
26:30 Yes, sir.
26:31 The gates are open, Sergeant. Move them out.
26:33 Yes, sir.
26:34 I don't mind saying that that's a lot off my mind.
26:46 Good night, gentlemen.
26:48 Good night, sir.
26:50 [HORN BLOWING]
26:52 Sorry about the bumps, ladies.
27:02 This here is Cedar Springs.
27:04 And we made it without losing our hair.
27:07 Beggin' your pardon, ma'am.
27:11 All right, we'll make camp here.
27:15 McGee, you take first watch.
27:17 Keep a good lookout at our back.
27:19 We don't want any unwanted guests.
27:21 We'll be here about three hours. We'll leave right after sunup.
27:24 Here are some blankets.
27:28 Thank you, Sergeant Busty.
27:30 My pleasure, ma'am. I'll get some water.
27:32 [FOOTSTEPS]
27:34 [DOG WHIMPERING]
27:41 There.
28:00 Thinking about Colonel Custer?
28:02 I detest the man and everything he stands for.
28:07 You don't mean that.
28:09 Tell me, Anna.
28:16 Have you ever thought about remarrying?
28:19 I haven't even the time to think about it.
28:23 Then take time before it's too late.
28:27 You shut out everything that makes life worth living for a woman.
28:31 A home, a man, children.
28:35 I have my work. Nothing else matters.
28:38 Not now, perhaps.
28:40 But the years have a strange way of passing you by.
28:44 And regrets aren't much consolation as you grow older.

30:50 What happened?
31:01 They hit us at night, sir. Hard.
31:03 We didn't have a chance.
31:05 Did they kill the women?
31:06 They're as good as dead, sir.
31:08 The Cheyenne loaded them into the Surrey and drove off with them.
31:12 High plate dead. That's all I could do.
31:15 Better get over to the hospital and have the surgeon take a look at that wound.
31:18 Sir, about the women.
31:20 We'll get them back, Sergeant.
31:21 Colonel, I'll be ready to ride any time you say.
31:24 Get him over to the hospital.
31:26 Corporal of the Guard, post number one, engine coming in.
31:31 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
31:33 Howdy.
31:55 That man doesn't return to his camp.
31:59 It's the last we'll ever see of those two women they've captured.
32:02 Is Tall Knife a squaw that he makes war on women?
32:14 Tall Knife does not want the women.
32:16 You. You come alone and they go free.
32:22 You stay here...
32:24 and they die.
32:26 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
32:28 Well, General, do we saddle up?
32:47 No, we don't.
32:49 Not one man leaves this fort.
32:53 And that's an order.
32:55 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
32:57 Request the General's permission to be excused from duty, sir.
33:17 If anything happens to those women...
33:24 What's that? What'd you say?
33:27 There's a personal matter I have to attend to, sir.
33:31 Between you and Tall Knife, I suppose?
33:34 Yes, sir.
33:35 I can't permit any foolhardy acts of gallant.
33:38 General Terry, you heard that Indian.
33:40 If I don't go, Tall Knife will kill those two women.
33:43 But even if I allowed you to go...
33:45 what guarantee would we have that Tall Knife would free them?
33:49 No. I can allow you to make no move until I order it.
33:53 Is that clear?
33:54 I made a mistake in coming here.
33:56 But, sir, I fought with your own sister in Tall Knife's hands.
33:59 That's enough, Custer.
34:00 General Terry, do you realize that...
34:02 That's all.
34:03 You'll confine yourself to quarters until further notice.
34:06 Now get out of here.
34:08 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
34:10 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
34:12 [DOORBELL RINGS]
34:34 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
34:39 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
34:41 Hey, General.
34:47 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
34:49 What are you men doing here?
34:56 We figured that you might have a little trouble sneaking out a horse, sir.
35:00 So there's one saddling waitin' just 50 yards from the main gate.
35:04 What makes you think I need a horse?
35:06 You know I'm confined to quarters.
35:08 Never figured you'd let a little detail like that stand in your road.
35:13 And there's a ladder leadin' against the north wall...
35:15 so you don't have to use the gate.
35:18 The sentries might not understand and start yellin' for the corporal of the guard.
35:22 [CHUCKLES]
35:24 When I get back, Sergeant, I'm gonna have you court-martialed...
35:27 for helping an officer break his confinement to quarters.
35:30 Yes, sir.
35:32 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

35:36 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
35:41 [DOGS BARKING]
35:49 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
36:03 [DOGS BARKING]
36:05 I came alone.
36:20 Will you keep your word and release the women?
36:22 We will hunt together, Yellow Hair.
36:27 Death hunt.
36:30 You will take the women with you.
36:32 If you live...
36:34 they live.
36:38 And you lied.
36:42 Your word has no honor.
36:44 Speak softly, Yellow Hair.
36:47 You and the women will die now.
36:51 We'll hunt your hunt, Tall Knife.
36:55 And make it one you'll never forget.
37:01 At sunrise tomorrow...
37:03 you will be set free to run.
37:06 Put him with the women.
37:10 You came here alone and unarmed?
37:16 Why didn't you bring the regiment?
37:18 You'd be dead right now if I brought them.
37:21 You better get what sleep you can.
37:26 You're gonna need all your strength in a few hours.
37:29 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
37:31 [WOMAN GASPS]
37:50 It's almost dawn. They'll be coming for us soon.
37:56 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
37:58 I'm not asleep.
38:02 Tall Knife...
38:08 what did he mean, you're going to hunt together?
38:10 The Cheyenne are the great hunters of the plains.
38:12 Their whole history is based on the hunt.
38:15 They hunt for food...
38:17 and they hunt for sport.
38:19 Sometimes when a captive is taken, they often let him go...
38:22 to get away if he can.
38:25 You mean they hunt down a man as they would an animal?
38:27 That's correct.
38:31 I refuse to run to be chased.
38:34 Well, that's your decision to make.
38:36 But I think you'll run...
38:39 if you have any idea what the Cheyenne do to their female captives.
38:41 I don't want to hear any more.
38:44 We'll both go with you, Colonel.
38:47 [WOMAN GASPS]
38:49 Take them with you.
39:02 When the sun is there...
39:05 I will come after you. Go.
39:08 Let's go.
39:11 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
39:13 [FOOTSTEPS]
39:15 I can't keep running.
39:34 Okay.

46:15 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
46:18 [SCREAMS]
46:30 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
46:32 Now the hunt will end yellow hair.
46:35 Black Eagle was killed by accident, Tall Knife.
46:38 There's no reason for us to fight.
46:40 Stop now, before it's too late.
46:42 No.

47:42 We will fight no more.
47:46 You've proved the truth of your words.
47:49 About Black Eagle, the warrior's way.
47:52 It will be as it was before.
47:56 There will be peace between us.
47:58 There will be peace between us.
48:01 [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
48:04 You can rest over here.

48:35 [DOOR OPENS]
48:38 Good evening, sir.
48:42 What do you want, Custer? I didn't send for you.
48:45 I did, General Terry.
48:47 You did?
48:49 May I ask why you feel privileged to summon one of my officers to your back and call?
48:53 You may be General Grant's niece, but by the great horned toad, don't you think...
48:57 Yes, what is it, Melinda?
48:59 May I see you for just a minute, please?
49:01 Of course you can see me. I'm standing right here in front of you.
49:04 Alone.
49:06 Alone? Why should you want to see me?
49:08 General Terry.
49:10 Huh. Yeah.
49:13 Good.
49:15 [DOG BARKING]
49:17 I don't know what that was.
49:19 [DOOR OPENS]
49:22 [DOOR CLOSES]
49:23 May I say, Mrs. Peverly, that you look lovely.
49:30 Thank you.
49:32 This is Melinda's dress. It's been so long since I...
49:36 The reason I wanted to see you, Colonel Custer, is that I feel I owe you an apology.
49:43 My opinion of you is...
49:45 It's an opinion shared by many people.
49:51 I was wrong about you, too.
49:52 In what way?
49:54 Despite all you went through, you showed no sign of weakness, and I admire that in anyone, male or female.
50:01 Thank you.
50:03 But my apology still stands.
50:06 For the first time, I think I understand you a little.
50:09 But I'd like to know more.
50:11 What you think and what you are inside.
50:14 I'm a soldier, Mrs. Peverly. No more, no less.
50:21 What I do think is that this country must have a chance to grow and become great.
50:25 To do that, a price must be paid.
50:29 But is it worth such a terrible price?
50:33 It is to me.
