00:25 - You stay down here and keep down, Charrington.
00:27 - You're giving me orders, I am.
00:28 - I'll rank you a full grade, Custard.
00:30 - Your rank doesn't mean a thing while you're in my custody.
00:33 (gunshot)
00:34 - So you follow my orders or you won't live to see your court martial.

00:51 - People are dying out there.
00:52 - There's nothing we can do for them.
00:53 They're dead already.
00:54 You'll be dead too if you fire that gun.

04:55 I know savages just as well as you do, Custer.
04:58 Blue Creek, I fought more than 400 Cheyenne.
05:01 - Yeah, we've all heard about your Indian exploits.
05:05 250 of them were women and children.
05:08 - That's a lie.
05:09 - And the rest of them were weaponless,
05:11 since they were camped under the flag of truce
05:13 and turned their weapons in at Fort Lyons.
05:16 - I intend to prove that that's a lie.
05:18 - Well, you're going to have to, Colonel,
05:20 'cause that's why you're under arrest
05:21 and headed for a court-martial.
05:23 - You're beginning to sound like a blasted Indian lover, Custer.
05:27 I say we've lost the Indians.
05:28 Let's get out of here and make tracks for Fort Hayes.
05:30 - As far as we go by horse.
05:32 - You can dismount, Colonel.
05:33 - You too, Lieutenant.
05:36 - Are you out of your mind?
05:37 You mean to put us afoot in this country?
05:39 - That's correct.
05:40 Now get down.
05:41 - You intend to walk to Fort Hayes?
05:43 - It's the only chance we have.
05:46 Now dismount, Colonel.
05:48 - I'm sorry, Colonel Custer.
05:49 I may be under arrest, but that's one order
05:51 I don't intend to follow.
05:53 - Colonel, did you see that Indian on that paint pony?
05:57 Well that Indian's name is Warcloud.
05:59 Now if you're under the delusion
06:01 that you can outsmart and outrun Warcloud,
06:04 well, you just point that pony south towards Fort Hayes.
06:07 Now it's only 50 miles,
06:09 but I can almost guarantee you you'll have a fire
06:12 roasting under your belly before sundown.
06:14 - Have you a better plan?
06:16 - I have.
06:17 We can take the long way around.
06:20 - Walk right into their hands.
06:25 - It's the thing they'll least expect us to do.
06:28 - Hyah!
06:29 - Fool, we could have used that horse
06:32 when we made our stand.
06:34 - What would we use to make our stand with, Colonel?
06:37 Lieutenant LeMay's revolver and that bow and arrow?
06:39 - If we were in such a hurry,
06:41 we could have picked up our sidearms in that luggage boot.
06:43 - And given up our scalps in the process.
06:46 No thank you.
06:47 - Hyah!
06:49 - Sir, I don't understand.
06:51 What are you doing?
06:52 - Those ponies are headed in the direction of Fort Hayes.
06:55 I'm hoping that Warcloud will think we are for a while,
06:58 until he picks them up at least.
07:01 - That'll buy us some time.
07:03 Now, let's get lost up in those bushes.
07:06 We can get out of those boots and into the mogs since we took.
07:09 - Only if they're good enough to follow our boot marks,
07:11 they're good enough to follow moccasin prints.
07:13 - That's true, but this is Indian territory.
07:16 I'm hoping they won't be able to tell our tracks from theirs.
07:19 Now, pick up that lance and let's move.
07:21 - Two ponies to Sankawitka.
07:37 They're right south to White Man's Fort.
07:41 Yellow hair is full.
07:43 There are many Lakota Sioux who sleep forever, Tato Bribone.
07:47 We waste time.
07:49 - Listen to me.
07:52 Yellow hair wears a white skin, but he has the heart of a Sioux,
07:55 and he thinks like a Sioux.
07:57 So we shall hunt them like a Sioux, not a White-eye.
08:00 Or others will die.
08:03 - You do not think he has gone south?
08:06 - I think he's gone to the Black Hills.
08:09 - He would not dare.
08:12 - You will follow these tracks into the Black Hills, Grey Bull.
08:16 We will go south after the ponies.
08:38 - Custer, I'm getting tired of this little game.
08:42 - It's not exactly a game, Colonel.
08:46 Warcloud's the hunter and we're the prey.
08:49 I'm tired of no, we have nothing to say about it.
08:52 - Colonel Custer, I don't see how we can hope to hit this thing with that boulder.
08:55 - Look down there.
08:57 That's Buffalo Gap, the only way into the Black Hills friction.
09:01 - It's a fine defensive position.
09:04 I assume your strategy is to make our fight here.
09:07 - You'd stop thinking like a soldier for a minute, Colonel.
09:10 And start thinking like an old Lala Sioux, you'd realize that our strategy...
09:14 is to make a fight nowhere.
09:16 - Well, there can't be more than a few of them. We have LeMay's pistol.
09:19 - We may need the bullets for ourselves.
09:21 I don't think you'll relish what they'll do to you if they take you alive.
09:25 - Yes, sir.
09:28 Colonel Custer, if you left an empty trail for Warcloud back on the plains...
09:32 what are we doing here?
09:36 - Come on, quickly. We have to get down fast.
09:38 - What is it?
09:40 - The answer to your question.
09:45 - He's suspicious.
09:51 - Wait a minute, that's where Colonel Custer dropped one of the boots.
09:57 [♪♪♪]
10:00 - He swallowed the bait.
10:21 How'd you know he'd come?
10:23 - Warcloud's a hard man to fool.
10:26 He had to follow the horses and he had to make sure it wasn't a trick.
10:29 So he sent a man here.
10:32 - Even Warcloud wouldn't have figured you'd be insane enough to enter the Black Hills.
10:36 - Wrong, Colonel. That's exactly what he'd do himself.
10:40 - Watchtower, Kanaska!
10:56 - Westay! Give me Takiak!
10:59 [♪♪♪]
11:02 - Get the holding rock.
11:13 The holding rock!
11:18 [♪♪♪]
11:21 - You're welcome, Custer.
11:41 - No, Jonathan. You didn't save my life.
11:44 You probably put us all in the arrows run.
11:47 Miniconju, Sanzac, Aboulay, Sitting Bull's Humpapa, Oglala.
11:54 They infest those hills.
11:56 Now let's get out of here.
11:59 - Pony got away, sir.
12:08 - No matter. We need at least two horses.
12:11 The country's too rough to ride triple.
12:13 The raw hydriator will come in useful.
12:16 From now on, Colonel, do your killing quietly.
12:28 - Can't keep, sir. Army issues.
12:31 Little bend up, still hold water, though.
12:34 - Sickened cavalry.
12:36 - Why, they're stationed back in Julesburg.
12:41 The other one was taken from one of General Terry's men out of Fort Hayes.
12:46 That'll give you some idea about Warcloud, Colonel.
12:49 He's like a fire sweeping the plains.
12:52 All the way from Julesburg to North Platte,
12:54 from the Republican River to Fort Hayes.
12:57 He's a brilliant tactician,
12:59 and he commands one of the finest light cavalries in the world.
13:02 So don't take him so lightly from here on.
13:05 Let's move.
13:11 - What are you doing, Charrington?
13:14 - There's a $20 bounty on every hostile scalp brought in.
13:18 - Put that knife away.
13:23 - Why should I?
13:25 - That brave was as good a soldier as you or I,
13:28 and he died fighting for a cause he believed in.
13:31 - You're as romantic a fool as I've been told, Custer.
13:36 [HORSE GALLOPING]
13:39 - The Yellow Hair must cross this land to reach the fort.
13:53 We shall make camp here and wait for him.
13:57 But we shall not let him hide.
14:00 - You two shall follow Yellow Hair.
14:03 And howl at his heels like the wolves on the edge of the Buffalo Herd.
14:06 Go!
14:30 - Look.
14:33 - Southeast.
14:42 Thank God there's two less braves to worry about.
14:47 You're wrong, Colonel.
14:50 - What do you mean, sir?
14:53 - Warcloud is as good a tracker as any human being alive.
14:58 - Warcloud?
15:00 - What makes you think he's a human being?
15:03 - He can come in all sizes, shapes, kindnesses and cruelties, Colonel.
15:07 And until the white man taught him,
15:10 Warcloud never attacked women and children.
15:13 - What are you talking about, sir?
15:16 - Why don't you tell the lieutenant what happened, Colonel?
15:19 - When we get to Fort Hayes, I'm gonna demand satisfaction for that, sir.
15:22 - I was in Denver when the Colorado volunteers returned from Blue Creek.
15:27 They brought back human trophies.
15:30 - You mean American soldiers did that?
15:33 - They could have taught a Comanche.
15:36 - They taught us.
15:38 We were just giving them back a little bit of their own medicine.
15:41 - You mean you admit it's true?
15:44 - Lieutenant,
15:46 whenever Warcloud, Gall or Crazy Horse does it,
15:49 sooner or later they're forgiven and offered a reservation.
15:52 When we do it,
15:54 some greenhorn sick at the sight of blood wants to court-martial us.
15:59 - But they're savages.
16:02 - That might excuse them.
16:05 But what excuses us, Colonel?
16:08 Warcloud sent those two braves to cut us off from behind and flush us out.
16:14 They'll be down there waiting to set a trap.
16:17 Because he knows it's the only way we can get back.
16:20 - Well, hadn't we better move out before those two hair-lifters come back?
16:24 - We will, just as far as it takes us to set up a good ambush.
16:28 That looks like a good spot right there off that trail.
16:32 - You're insane.
16:34 You mean to tangle with those two with Warcloud within gunshot?
16:38 - Warcloud expects those two Indians to flush us out on foot when we reach the plains.
16:42 And I intend for us to be on horseback.
16:45 And I don't see any way of getting ponies unless we take them to the road.
16:49 - We can't get ponies unless we take them from those two Indians who are after us.
16:53 Now let's move.
16:55 - He's mad.
17:03 Mad as impossible. He's mad as...
17:05 - Warcloud?
17:08 [Birds chirping]
17:10 - No point in carrying this. There's no water to be found between here and Fort Hague.
17:27 - There might be.
17:29 In any case...
17:31 you'll keep it.
17:33 - What for?
17:35 - It might make a fine weapon.
17:37 - A weapon how?
17:39 - Leave it headless to fight Goliath.

19:39 - Ame.
19:57 - He's dead. - The horses got away.
20:00 - We're gonna have to help you get the Zeril out.
20:08 - The barb's in there. We'll have to butcher it out.
20:24 - Any time, Colonel. Any time.
20:27 - It's gonna hurt. - It already does.
20:33 [Grunts]
20:51 [Grunts]
20:53 - Clean?
21:12 - Yeah, it's clean. There's not bleeding much.
21:15 - Good. Rub some Wosna in there.
21:18 - What? - Wosna. It's in that bag.
21:21 It'll make a good poultice.
21:26 Let's pack it in the wound.
21:34 Now...
21:41 when we reach the plains...
21:44 we won't have any cover from there to Fort Hayes.
21:47 War Cloud and his braves will be waiting for us.
21:50 You know, we gotta come out of here sometime.
21:53 We've gotta get around 'em.
21:55 It's not gonna be easy to do.
21:57 - I'd give anything for a Hotchkiss cannon...
22:02 and a lob of counter-stove grape shot right in that cutthroat's cam.
22:06 - That's a good idea, Colonel. - It's a good dream.
22:13 - We'll have to make us one.
22:16 - I think that wound has gone to your head, Custer.
22:19 - We can't make a cannon...
22:21 but we can make a canister of grape shot.
22:24 Get me that empty canteen you were so anxious to throw away.
22:29 Check it. Make sure it is dry.
22:33 - Dry as death.
22:35 - Good. Gunpowder.
22:38 Pour it in.
22:45 That's good.
22:47 - How many bullets we got? - We got four.
22:50 - Let me have them. - I'll save two.
22:53 - I don't wanna be taken alive. - Let me have two.
22:56 I would say this was a sheer waste of effort.
23:07 - Well, you better pray that it works, Colonel.
23:10 - I'm not gonna die.
23:12 - Well, pray that it works, Colonel...
23:15 'cause your life depends on it.
23:18 - Something is wrong.
23:40 (howling)
23:42 - We should have seen the fire arrows by now.
23:47 Ride north. Find Spotted Tails' camp.
23:52 Bring back many warriors.
23:56 (howling)
23:58 - You better throw it, Colonel.
24:18 - I'm still a little unsteady from that wound.
24:22 - I hope this contraption of yours works.
24:26 - So do I, Colonel. So do I.
24:29 - Get in.
24:53 - Get out of the way.
24:55 - Let's go.
25:05 - The arrowhead dies hard.
25:11 - But he will die.
25:18 (hissing)
25:20 (gunshots)
25:34 (gunshots)
25:36 - Don't see a fire.
25:57 - Not in here. Not in weather like this.
26:03 - The rain will wash out our tracks.
26:05 Good luck won't be out of here tomorrow.
26:08 - I wouldn't be overly optimistic about that, Colonel.
26:11 (gunshots)
26:14 (gunshots)
26:16 (gunshots)
26:28 (gunshots)
26:37 - Incredible.
26:43 Incredible the tricks that life plays on the man.
26:47 You were last graduating from a class of 34 men I wasn't on the map.
26:58 By all the laws of logic, common sense,
27:02 I should have gained the glory.
27:06 - That may be true, Charrington.
27:09 Except for one thing.
27:11 - I know what you're going to say.
27:13 - Luck.
27:15 Custer's luck.
27:17 Everything you touch turns to glory.
27:20 - Luck.
27:23 When I sat 36 hours straight in the saddle,
27:27 you wrote a desk in Washington.
27:30 - Custer, I'll have you know that I requested field duty.
27:34 - I'm sure you did.
27:37 (gunshots)
27:40 - You want to know how I got field duty?
27:43 General Winfield Scott.
27:45 General Winfield Scott had a good appetite.
27:48 He could eat enough for three men.
27:52 But the thing he liked best were wild strawberries in season.
27:56 (gunshots)
27:58 I made sure that General Scott got his wild strawberries
28:03 by riding 120 miles in a single day.
28:07 I cheated, begged,
28:11 yes, I even blackmailed General Scott
28:15 to transfer me to McClellan's outfit.
28:18 Luck, maybe.
28:22 But no one ever gave me anything.
28:26 - You must be joking.
28:28 A major general at 24.
28:31 You were the boy general.
28:35 - I received my stars in the field of battle
28:38 at the recommendation of General Pleasanton.
28:41 But there were three other men
28:44 who were also granted that same honor.
28:46 Not just me.
28:48 Now Farnsworth and Merritt were only months older than I was.
28:53 Either of them could have been singled out
28:56 by the newspapers for the same attention I was given.
28:59 - That's exactly my point, Custer.
29:03 Luck.
29:05 - Well, I'd say a certain amount of ability
29:11 had something to do with it.
29:13 - I'm sure that's true, but in any case,
29:16 you rode on to glory ever since and we were left in the shadow.
29:20 Look, I'll tell you something.
29:23 Well, it might amuse you.
29:25 For years, I've sworn to myself that
29:29 if ever given the chance,
29:32 I would gain as much glory as you or more.
29:37 The Blue Creek fight, for instance.
29:40 You know how that came about?
29:43 I was thinking of you.
29:45 Your fine, grand charge at the Washington.
29:49 You rode in at dawn and your band was playing the Gary Owen
29:54 and you rode right in the front pages
29:56 of every newspaper in the world.
29:58 And honestly, I hated you.
30:03 And I swore to myself that I would do more.
30:07 Much more.
30:09 - You'd do more.
30:14 Much more.
30:16 You've slaughtered an entire Indian village
30:25 for that?
30:28 - For that?
30:30 - That's it.
30:31 - Exactly for that.
30:33 For the glory.
30:34 Only, it seems that I don't have your luck.
30:37 You massacred the Cheyenne of Washington.
30:40 I did the same thing at Blue Creek
30:42 with a brand new murderer.
30:45 - You are a murderer, Charlington.
30:50 (gunshots)
30:54 (dramatic music)
30:57 (explosion)
31:00 (gunshots)
31:03 (dramatic music)
31:06 (dramatic music)
31:35 - Not enough cover for a snake.
31:38 - You hear anything?
31:45 - They're coming.
31:47 - Let's go.
31:48 - Where?
31:50 - That gully.
31:52 (dramatic music)
32:03 - We're through, Custer, this is no cover.
32:06 It's all the cover we're gonna have.
32:09 Get in.
32:11 (dramatic music)
32:14 (explosion)
32:28 (dramatic music)
32:32 (explosion)
32:35 (dramatic music)
32:38 (gunshot)
32:46 - Charlington and Klume come on.
32:48 Give us a way out.
32:49 We'll leave it to the natives.
32:51 - Malik, over.
32:52 - Let them go.
32:53 We do not hunt buffalo today.
32:54 We hunt yellow hair.
32:57 (horse neighing)
32:59 (dramatic music)
33:02 - Look.
33:17 (hissing)
33:20 (dramatic music)
33:24 (hissing)
33:27 (dramatic music)
33:50 (hissing)
33:53 (dramatic music)
33:56 (dramatic music)
34:10 (hissing)
34:13 (dramatic music)
34:16 (dramatic music)
34:19 - What are you keeping that rattler for?
34:44 - Another weapon.
34:46 (dramatic music)
34:49 (dramatic music)
34:52 - They're gone.
35:00 - Let's get out of here while we have a chance.
35:04 - Relax, Charlington.
35:06 War Cloud's got eyes like an eagle.
35:09 If we so much as ruffle that dust out there,
35:11 they'd spot us.
35:13 - Well, we should get out of here.
35:15 They're liable to come back.
35:17 - That's for sure.
35:19 As soon as they fail to turn up any tracks further on.
35:23 - Custer, we should make a run for it.
35:28 - We will.
35:29 Just as soon as it's dark.
35:32 - I suppose you've picked a direction.
35:36 - I have.
35:38 - Well, is it a secret?
35:42 - Not especially.
35:44 We'll head for that rocky butte,
35:46 just west of here.
35:48 - That's miles out of our way.
35:51 - It depends on how you figure it.
35:54 Seeing that we've been living on borrowed time
35:56 since War Cloud jumped that stagecoach,
35:59 I figure we've got nothing to lose.
36:02 - Except our lives.
36:04 - That's right.
36:05 - Sometimes I don't understand you, Custer.
36:08 You're obviously a man driven by ambition.
36:11 - A man driven by ambition.
36:14 Guilty, your honor.
36:17 - Constantly in hot water for offending your superiors?
36:21 - That may be true, but just the same.
36:24 You're the one that's up for a court-martial.
36:27 - For doing my duty.
36:29 For following orders I was given, Custer.
36:32 - What orders, Charrington?
36:34 I've never seen any orders that required us
36:36 to wipe out the Plains tribes
36:39 and destroy their culture.
36:41 - Culture?
36:42 Your talk is the talk of a stupid sentimentalist.
36:46 These ignorant savages have controlled this land
36:48 for thousands of years, and what have they achieved?
36:51 They haven't even learned to grow crops
36:52 to feed their own bellies.
36:54 The only thing they know is to chant meaningless noises
36:58 and paint their faces and kill.
37:01 - What crops have you grown, Charrington?
37:05 - You wear a fancy uniform and spout words that mean nothing.
37:10 And you kill men.
37:12 So what makes us any better than these tribes?
37:14 - We represent civilization.
37:17 - Civilization.
37:21 - Obviously you've chosen the wrong side of this war, Custer.
37:26 - In a way, perhaps you're right.
37:29 I'm in a party to destroying a people's way of life
37:32 that I've learned to understand and appreciate.
37:35 But I've also learned that that's not really what's important.
37:39 - What is important?
37:43 - This will be a big country someday, Charrington.
37:46 Big enough to hold all kinds of people
37:48 and all ways of life.
37:51 And that's what I'm fighting for.
37:54 - You really believe that?
37:57 - Enough to die for it.
38:01 Now get some sleep.
38:05 [music]
38:09 [music]
38:12 [music]
38:25 [music]
38:28 - These fires will drive Yellowhead away.
38:40 He will escape us.
38:42 - No, he will not escape us.
38:43 He will see the fires and approach them.
38:46 - He is not that foolish.
38:48 - Perhaps he hears your words and laughs.
38:51 - He would not come that close.
38:53 - That's what he wants us to think.
38:55 He will pass us so close,
38:56 our fires will cast his shadows on the ground.
39:00 - Then we should be out there waiting for him.
39:04 - Bent Arm is a brave man,
39:06 if he hunts the cougar at night.
39:10 - I am not afraid.
39:13 - Only a fool would say that.
39:16 - I will prove it.
39:22 - Your squad will sing the death song for you.
39:26 [music]
39:30 [music]
39:34 [music]
40:02 - Will you kill that thing?
40:05 - Those fires,
40:11 they cut off our escape.
40:14 - Didn't you hear me?
40:20 I said they cut off our escape to the Butte.
40:30 [music]
40:33 - If we kill them, we get the horses.
40:46 Forget it.
40:48 It is as if it was 50 miles to the fort.
40:50 At least it does some war parties.
40:52 Spread out between here and Fort Hayes and those hills.
40:56 Nothing is going to get through them but the wind.
40:58 Let's move.
41:00 Those horses, if we couldn't get hold of them.
41:03 These aren't sleepy-eyed rebel farm boys standing guard duty, Colonel.
41:08 These are War Cloud's braves.
41:11 They can see better than we can and hear better than we can.
41:16 They ride better too, for that matter.
41:18 Let's go.
41:20 [music]
41:26 [music]
41:30 [music]
41:33 [music]
41:46 [music]
41:58 [music]
42:01 - We'll rest here before we start climbing.
42:19 - There'll be daylight soon. We won't stand a chance.
42:23 - We haven't stood one for the last two days, so nothing's changed.
42:28 - A legend of Custer.
42:41 Boy, General.
42:44 I can understand how that came about.
42:48 You're a crude, resourceful man, I'll give you that.
42:53 The kind of things a dying novelist exploits so well.
42:57 It just comes naturally to you.
43:00 - I'd say some nice things about you too, Colonel.
43:04 If I could think of any.
43:06 - No.
43:08 No, it's true.
43:11 You have a knack for the heroics.
43:18 You kept us alive longer than I believe possible.
43:21 And if we get out of this situation,
43:23 I'm sure there'll be a dozen sensational stories about your frontier prowess.
43:29 - Oh, at least that many.
43:32 - Another spectacular exploit.
43:36 Make all the newspapers in the country.
43:41 And you'll be a bigger hero than you've ever been.
43:45 (dramatic music)
43:49 (dramatic music)
43:52 (dramatic music)
43:55 (dramatic music)
43:57 (dramatic music)
44:00 (dramatic music)
44:03 - I don't need your help.
44:28 - Have at you.
44:29 (dramatic music)
44:32 - Keep climbing.
44:41 (dramatic music)
44:44 (gun firing)
44:59 (dramatic music)
45:02 - He'll waste bullets, he's too high.
45:05 (dramatic music)
45:08 (dramatic music)
45:11 (dramatic music)
45:14 (dramatic music)
45:17 (gun firing)
45:38 - Shove!
45:39 (dramatic music)
45:42 (dramatic music)
45:44 (dramatic music)
45:47 - You two stay here.
46:13 The rest of you, come with me.
46:16 (dramatic music)
46:19 - It's time for us to part company, Colonel.
46:27 - Why?
46:28 - Give one of us a chance to stay alive a little longer.
46:32 Keep moving, follow this cleft as far as it goes.
46:35 When you reach the far side of the butte,
46:36 you should be able to find a way down.
46:38 If you make it all the way, wait till dark,
46:41 and then make your move to Fort Hayes.
46:43 Once you're across the river, you should be safe.
46:45 - What are you gonna do?
46:47 - I'll try to draw them away from you.
46:48 Now move out.
46:49 - And let you make another noble gesture, Cousin.
46:52 Not on your life.
46:53 - Suit yourself.
46:56 (dramatic music)
46:59 (dramatic music)
47:02 - Spencer, wait!
47:19 (dramatic music)
47:24 (dramatic music)

48:42 (dramatic music)
48:57 (dramatic music)
49:02 (splash)
49:08 (dramatic music)
49:11 - You're not winning this time, Custer, I am.
49:26 Taking a lesson from your book,
49:29 you're not going to be the hero, I am.
49:31 What's happened to us will make a sensational story.
49:37 Charrington, man, soldier,
49:41 beat War Cloud at his own game.
49:43 Charges against me will be dropped
49:47 when the public learns to idolize me the way they have you.
49:50 (smack)
49:59 (dramatic music)
50:03 (panting)
50:05 I unloaded it last night while you were asleep.
50:11 There's no glory in what happened for either of us.
50:18 There's little honor in running from the
50:22 stupid savages as you call them.
50:24 So let's move out.
50:26 You've got a court-martial waiting for you.
50:31 (dramatic music)
