00:01:19My name is Joe Harmony.
00:01:22this is my Stamping Ground.
00:01:24I'm a Scout for the Army.
00:01:27Had my work cut out for me for a long time.
00:01:33Behind that pass, there is the whole patchy nation.
00:01:39They used to come swarming out of that pass, killing everything in sight.
00:01:45Then we built a fort.
00:01:48Fort Invincible.
00:01:51Plugged up the pass just like a cork in a bottle.
00:01:57Things was fine for a while.
00:02:01But them patches is pretty smart.
00:02:04One day the bottle blew the cork plum apart.
00:03:28Ah, just as I figured.
00:03:31That's Tussos.
00:03:33Boss of all the patches. Fellow that started this whole business.
00:03:36You step aside, Corporal.
00:03:38The army doesn't shoot prisoners, Joe.
00:03:40I'm a civilian.
00:03:42Take him back to Fort Winston with us.
00:03:45You crazy?
00:03:47This ain't no common engine. He's just about as near to a God as a fellow can get.
00:03:51Shoot him now. Things will quiet down.
00:03:52Without Tussos stirring him up, the rest of them engines will get reasonable just as fast as they can.
00:03:58But you take him in alive, you'll have every Apache in the territory coming after him.
00:04:02We had three years of this. You can stop it right now.
00:04:05We'll take him back to Winston, Joe.
00:04:09Suit yourself, Dick.
00:04:12All right.
00:04:22Lieutenant Underwood.
00:04:24Detail a man to return to Fort Winston.
00:04:26Have him inform Colonel Drumlet we're bringing Tussos in.
00:04:28Yes, sir.
00:04:30And put a burial detail to work.
00:04:32I want this place looking like a cavalry post before we leave.
00:04:34Yes, sir.
00:04:36That's all he ever cares about.
00:04:39Leave it looking neat.
00:04:44Cavalry post.
00:04:52Halt!
00:05:10Eyes right!
00:05:23Halt!
00:05:28Send the prisoner over to the guard and dismiss the detail.
00:05:30Yes, sir.
00:05:32Detail dismount!
00:05:37I tell you, I never saw the likes of it, Mike.
00:05:40Rack that up for me.
00:05:42There were 16 million Indians.
00:05:4416 million of them, I tell you.
00:05:46And they're running through that pass like a bunch of crazy jackrabbits.
00:05:49Oh, stop that noise!
00:05:51And right there stands this fellow Tussos,
00:05:53waiting to be shot.
00:05:55Just waiting to be shot.
00:05:57And what does our captain do?
00:05:59He says, men, I want this place cleaned up
00:06:01and looking like a cavalry post
00:06:03the first thing you do.
00:06:05And that's all he said.
00:06:07Thank God it's enough to drive a man to drink.
00:06:10This is the last time I ever go any place without this.
00:06:14Do you have any orders to go through the pass?
00:06:17No, sir.
00:06:19Or to shoot Tussos?
00:06:21How do I know?
00:06:23Well, if he didn't, he wouldn't.
00:06:25Orders was made to be broke, Rutledge.
00:06:27Not with Captain Lance.
00:06:29I ought to know that better than anybody.
00:06:46What's the matter with Saxton?
00:06:47Oh, that one.
00:06:50He's tired of tooting his bugle.
00:06:52Wants a carbine.
00:06:54You should have seen the poor lad up there,
00:06:56shaking in his boots, he was.
00:06:58Oh, it was his first time.
00:07:00Oh, first time.
00:07:02I know all about that.
00:07:04Listen, you either got it or you ain't got it,
00:07:06and he ain't got it.
00:07:08No, sir.
00:07:14Why, you!
00:07:15Did you want to say something?
00:07:17No.
00:07:19Good.
00:07:21Two cards, please.
00:07:24Hello, Captain.
00:07:26The Colonel's in his room.
00:07:28Thank you.
00:07:30Colonel.
00:07:32Sit down, Captain.
00:07:34Thank you, sir.
00:07:36So you got him, Richard.
00:07:38And they're all dead up there.
00:07:40Selden, all of them.
00:07:42Yes, sir.
00:07:43It's horrible.
00:07:45It can be worse.
00:07:47There have been a few times in my life, Richard,
00:07:49when I regretted having to obey orders.
00:07:51This is one of them.
00:07:53I almost wish you'd kill Tussauds up there
00:07:56instead of bringing him in.
00:07:59As it is, you saw these settlers on the parade ground.
00:08:02They've been coming in for three or four days now,
00:08:05looking for protection.
00:08:07But it's blasted little protection they've got.
00:08:09We're under strength.
00:08:10The relief column won't be here for at least 10 days.
00:08:14They're sending 400 men,
00:08:16which is enough to handle anything.
00:08:19But if the Apaches make a sortie to free Tussauds,
00:08:22as they undoubtedly will,
00:08:25this can be another Fort Invincible.
00:08:33We've got to get Tussauds up to Fort Grant right away.
00:08:36The first thing tomorrow morning
00:08:37Yes, sir.
00:08:39Have the adjutant write out orders for a detail.
00:08:42I'll...
00:08:44I'll leave it in your hands to choose an officer and...
00:08:50And have him.
00:08:53Will you please go now, Captain?
00:08:57Dad?
00:08:59No, thank you, dear.
00:09:01No, thanks.
00:09:03I'll answer it.
00:09:07Hello, Dick. Come in.
00:09:09I was wondering where you were.
00:09:13I got the same treatment, Dick.
00:09:15So don't feel too proud.
00:09:17I gather it was pretty grim at Invincible.
00:09:21It was pretty grim.
00:09:23What do you think happened?
00:09:25Selden forget to put out pickets once too often?
00:09:27No. Tussauds cut off their water supply.
00:09:29All he had to do then was wait.
00:09:31That's a smart one, that Apache.
00:09:33How about a little whiskey, Dick?
00:09:35No, thanks. Not right now.
00:09:37I'm sure. Besides, it tastes mighty good.
00:09:39Oh, but I've got work to do tonight.
00:09:41That's the trouble with you, Richard Lance.
00:09:43You're always working.
00:09:45Do this, do that.
00:09:47Ten thousand things to do.
00:09:49And when you finally get around to me, it's for three minutes.
00:09:51If Bill treated me like that, I...
00:09:53Oh, if Bill were the captain and I was the lieutenant,
00:09:55he could make out the reports and I could get here first.
00:09:57Thanks. I like everything just the way it is.
00:09:59Not that you can't come and visit us
00:10:01when Kathy and I are married, but...
00:10:03Bill, don't talk like that.
00:10:05Now, haven't I told you I'm going to propose to you tonight?
00:10:07The thing I got here first,
00:10:09I asked for the pleasures of the company
00:10:11of the beautiful daughter of Captain Eversham.
00:10:13And lo and behold, I got it.
00:10:15So I'll thank you not to make any overtures.
00:10:17Don't worry, Dick.
00:10:19I'll see that they don't stay out too late.
00:10:21Well, to tell you the truth, Ed,
00:10:23I'm going to get a lot of sleep tonight anyway.
00:10:25Why?
00:10:27I'm taking Tussauds out to Fort Grant first thing in the morning.
00:10:29No.
00:10:31Who wished that on you?
00:10:33The Army. What do you think?
00:10:35That's a mighty dangerous detail, the way things are.
00:10:37And Eversham knows why I have to sleep tonight.
00:10:39Good night, Kathy.
00:10:41Good night, Bill. Good night, Ed.
00:10:43Good night.
00:10:45Dick, do I see you before I go?
00:10:47You'd better get up real early.
00:10:54Dick.
00:11:00You're enough to drive a woman insane running off like that.
00:11:04Show me how much you're going to miss me.
00:11:08I'm taking a lot of showing, Kathy.
00:11:11No, Ed. Try.
00:11:28That's how much I'm going to miss you.
00:11:30You'd better stop, or I'll go over there
00:11:32and shoot Tussauds and never leave at all.
00:11:34Oh, I'd like that.
00:11:36Good night, Kathy.
00:11:49Hey, Simpson.
00:11:51Yeah, Calhoun.
00:11:53Right.
00:11:55You're on a patrol tomorrow, 5.30.
00:11:57How nice.
00:11:59I thought you'd like it.
00:12:01Where's Caboose?
00:12:03Probably tagging along after Lieutenant Holloway.
00:12:05Good.
00:12:09Thanks, Gilchrist.
00:12:11I've done nothing for you, Murdoch.
00:12:13You brought Tussauds back.
00:12:15Lance is taking him back to Fort Grant tomorrow.
00:12:18You going with him?
00:12:20What do you think?
00:12:22Well, the country's beautiful this time of year, Mr. Murdoch.
00:12:25It'd be just as easy if the whole patrol committed suicide tonight.
00:12:29Save the patches a lot of trouble.
00:12:32And if Lance don't want to shoot himself,
00:12:33I'll be glad to do it for him.
00:12:35I wouldn't mind having that pleasure myself.
00:12:37But I'll say one thing.
00:12:39If there's anybody can take Tussauds up to Fort Grant,
00:12:41it's Captain Lance.
00:12:43I hate his black heart, too.
00:12:45But he's still the best officer I ever served under.
00:12:47Didn't the captain really want to shoot him?
00:12:49Well, he...
00:12:51Sure, but he wants to do it all neat and proper,
00:12:53according to regulations.
00:12:55The way he should have shot you, Onstat.
00:12:58Except deserters get hung,
00:13:00unless they're lucky.
00:13:01Unless they're lucky.
00:13:22Hi, Dick.
00:13:24Hi, Jeff.
00:13:26Thought you'd be in bed.
00:13:28I got too much to do.
00:13:30I don't like what you're going to do tomorrow.
00:13:32I don't like it at all.
00:13:34Neither do I, but it's got to be done.
00:13:36I'm telling you straight.
00:13:38Any detail leaves here with Tussauds
00:13:40maybe ain't going to come back.
00:13:42I just rode out a couple hours.
00:13:44Them hills is full of Apaches.
00:13:46I could feel them.
00:13:48They'll be coming after him.
00:13:50I got my orders.
00:13:52I figured that's what you'd say.
00:13:56I'll walk a piece with you.
00:13:59All right.
00:14:17I've got to be getting back, Bill.
00:14:19You still haven't answered me.
00:14:21Yes, I have, by not answering.
00:14:24You mean, it's now?
00:14:26Mm-hmm.
00:14:28Dick's the one?
00:14:32How long have you known it?
00:14:34I don't know.
00:14:36I do.
00:14:38I guess I always have.
00:14:41You know, when I think of your future,
00:14:43I tremble.
00:14:45Why?
00:14:47You'll beat your children and break your heart.
00:14:49Every day?
00:14:51Every single day.
00:14:53Oh, wonderful.
00:14:55Yes, he will be wonderful, Kathy.
00:14:58Not yet.
00:15:00You know what he's going to do when you say yes?
00:15:02Now what?
00:15:05This.
00:15:20Good night, Joe.
00:15:22See you in the morning, Dick.
00:15:28Lance.
00:15:30I was over in your quarters looking for you.
00:15:32The colonel wants to see you.
00:15:35Where's Holloway?
00:15:38Court.
00:15:43Come in.
00:15:49Good evening, Captain.
00:15:51Excuse me.
00:15:53You sent for me, sir?
00:15:55I certainly did, Richard.
00:15:57What are you doing?
00:15:59Sir?
00:16:01I told you to assign an officer to the detail
00:16:03that is taking Tuzos back.
00:16:05I didn't say assign yourself.
00:16:07You didn't say not to, sir.
00:16:09I thought you'd have more sense than that.
00:16:12You know we've got nothing but a cabaret here.
00:16:15And you should know, if you don't,
00:16:17that you're the only officer I have any faith in.
00:16:21I'm a sick man, Richard,
00:16:23despite what Jennings tells me.
00:16:24And I'm in no position to handle the post.
00:16:26You're the only person here I can depend on.
00:16:29I don't want you taking Tuzos up to Fort Grant.
00:16:32Too many lives depend on your being here.
00:16:34Well, the orders are out, sir.
00:16:36You can't change them.
00:16:38I can change any orders I ever gave.
00:16:40And I'm changing those right now.
00:16:43I want you to wake up the adjutant
00:16:45and tell him to put Lieutenant Holloway
00:16:47in charge of the detail that is taking Tuzos back.
00:16:51Holloway?
00:16:52He's a good man, isn't he?
00:16:55Yes, sir, he's one of the best, but...
00:16:57Then he's the officer commanding the detail.
00:16:59I've never argued with you about...
00:17:01Then don't argue with me now, Captain.
00:17:03That's the way I want it.
00:17:08Yes, sir.
00:17:10Anything else?
00:17:12That's all, Richard.
00:17:19Lance, save her.
00:17:20The minute they started, we knew we had them.
00:17:22And it was a slaughter.
00:17:25High watermark of the Confederacy, they called it.
00:17:28Come in.
00:17:30Hello, Dick.
00:17:32Not asleep yet?
00:17:34You're taking over the Tuzos detail, Bill.
00:17:36I'm sorry.
00:17:38You're joking.
00:17:40I wouldn't joke about a thing like that.
00:17:43No, of course you wouldn't.
00:17:44Looks like tonight's my unlucky night.
00:17:48That's funny.
00:17:50First time I remember an order being changed around here.
00:17:53Like rewriting the Bible.
00:17:55Well, it's the one time I don't mind
00:17:57making it easy on the Captain.
00:17:59Do I, Cathy?
00:18:01And I guess I'm the one who needs sleep now.
00:18:04Good night, Cathy.
00:18:06Good night.
00:18:08Good night.
00:18:10Good night.
00:18:12Good night.
00:18:14Good night, Bill.
00:18:15Good night.
00:18:28Dick.
00:18:31That was a cruel thing to do.
00:18:34Cruel?
00:18:36Why did you do it?
00:18:39Why?
00:18:41I don't know what you're talking about, Cathy.
00:18:44You're not fooling me.
00:18:46I've lived in an army post all my life.
00:18:49Dad's right.
00:18:51Orders don't get changed
00:18:53unless someone goes to an awful lot of trouble to change them.
00:18:57Cathy, believe me, it's just the way things are.
00:19:00I was planning to go myself.
00:19:02Until you saw Bill kissing me.
00:19:04And then you went directly to Colonel Drum.
00:19:06I never...
00:19:08Cathy.
00:19:10I don't know what it's all about, Dick,
00:19:12but whatever it is, I forget it.
00:19:37Prepare to mount.
00:19:40Mount.
00:19:44Good luck, Bill.
00:19:45Thanks, Dick.
00:19:48Good luck, Joe.
00:19:49Back to you, Dick.
00:19:50Forward,
00:19:52ho!
00:20:06Forward, ho!
00:20:36Forward, ho!
00:21:07He's been standing at that wall the last three nights.
00:21:10I wonder when he sleeps.
00:21:11What makes you think he can't?
00:21:13He's been standing at that wall the last three nights.
00:21:16I wonder when he sleeps.
00:21:17What makes you think he can't?
00:21:43Halt!
00:21:44Who goes there?
00:21:54Hunter to the guard!
00:21:55Host number three!
00:22:13I brought back a friend of yours, Bill Holloway.
00:22:15What's left of him.
00:22:43Put him in the guardhouse.
00:23:02You've done a wrong thing, Dick.
00:23:05You want to take a look?
00:23:07Just as well.
00:23:12Bill.
00:23:29Joe.
00:23:31Take care of him, soldier.
00:23:32Yes, sir.
00:23:33Aren't you going to tell me how it happened?
00:23:35Yeah, I guess you've got a right to know.
00:23:38They jumped us about three hours after we left here.
00:23:41Me and them two soldiers only got away
00:23:43because we was riding rear guard.
00:23:45They took Bill alive.
00:23:47Me and the two soldiers rode circles
00:23:49the next three days trying to catch up with him.
00:23:51We was heading back here this afternoon
00:23:53when we found him.
00:23:55Was he still alive?
00:23:57I guess you could say that.
00:23:59He was.
00:24:00One of those 400 men come.
00:24:02Another week.
00:24:03That's what I figured.
00:24:05I didn't think Tussauds would be sending us a warning
00:24:07unless he was dead certain he could wipe us out.
00:24:10Now he's got to get even with us for capturing him.
00:24:14My guess is they're up there behind a pass
00:24:16beating their war drums right now.
00:24:19I'd better guess there's another one.
00:24:21I don't think so.
00:24:23I don't think so.
00:24:25I don't think so.
00:24:27I don't think so.
00:24:29Is that a guess or is that a sure thing?
00:24:33I lived with the Chiricahuas for 10 years.
00:24:35You can learn a lot about engines in 10 years.
00:24:38When do you think he's coming?
00:24:40That's hard to say.
00:24:42Might be three days.
00:24:44Might be less.
00:24:46One thing's sure he ain't going to wait
00:24:48for that relief column to get here.
00:24:50Another thing's for sure.
00:24:52Tussauds got a look at this place.
00:24:54Right this minute he knows our strength
00:24:56better than the sergeant major.
00:24:58Let me know what you decide, Dick.
00:25:00Thanks, Joe.
00:25:04Captain Lance,
00:25:06they want you back at the gate, sir.
00:25:08Oh.
00:25:11I'm sorry about Lieutenant Holloway, sir.
00:25:14He wasn't a finer officer.
00:25:16We know what he was to you.
00:25:18Thank you.
00:25:24He was a good officer and a good man.
00:25:26And I say the Army ain't got too many like that.
00:25:32Give me a hand with these boots, Ruby.
00:25:35If it wasn't for Lance,
00:25:37Holloway'd still be alive and he'd be dead.
00:25:40That's what's wrong with the Army.
00:25:42The wrong guys always get killed.
00:25:44Oh.
00:25:46First time in four days
00:25:48those toads have seen daylight.
00:25:51Yeah, I'm going to miss Lieutenant Holloway.
00:25:53Ah, that's a lot of talk, Murdock.
00:25:56If the truth were known,
00:25:58you're probably glad that Holloway got killed.
00:26:01It just gives you another chance
00:26:03to apply for a commission.
00:26:05Huh, I'll never get a commission
00:26:07as long as Lance is around.
00:26:09And would you say that was his fault
00:26:11or your fault?
00:26:13Well, maybe they were afraid
00:26:15they might not find another sergeant.
00:26:17Shut your mouth, you dirty rep.
00:26:19Well, I'll say this much for the captain.
00:26:20He can tell the difference
00:26:22between a soldier and a tramp
00:26:24and if you can do that, you're a good officer.
00:26:26I'll leave it up to you, Rutledge.
00:26:28You went to Westmoreland
00:26:30and Lance had him kicked out.
00:26:32Well, is it Lance's fault
00:26:34if Rutledge does something
00:26:36and is foolish enough to get caught at it?
00:26:38Rutledge must love me
00:26:40come way out here to serve in the room.
00:26:42Sure, that's what it is, love.
00:26:44Ah, you're all sore
00:26:46because he knows you for what you really are,
00:26:48a bunch of fleet-bitten bellyachers.
00:26:50What did you do when the captain
00:26:52took away your liquor rush?
00:26:54What did I do?
00:26:56Well, I quit drinking.
00:26:58I just want to ask you one question.
00:27:00Suppose you found yourself
00:27:02in a dark alley one night with Captain Lance.
00:27:04What would you do?
00:27:06Well, what I'd do,
00:27:08I'll tell you what I'd do.
00:27:10I'd sneak up behind him
00:27:12and I'd put out my hand
00:27:14and grab him by the throat
00:27:16and I'd whirl him around and I'd say,
00:27:17have you got a drink on you?
00:27:22Ah, spit and polish, that's all he is.
00:27:24If it ain't in the books, it's wrong.
00:27:26Get him in a bad spot and he'd run.
00:27:29Yeah, run just like a dirty rebel.
00:27:33You no good dirty son of a Yankee mule.
00:27:36Come on down, rebel.
00:27:38I came out here to fight engines,
00:27:40not sergeants.
00:27:42You come out here because you were sent
00:27:44from a Union prison.
00:27:45You'd be dead if you got here.
00:27:47You'd still be running
00:27:49if Lance hadn't caught you and brought you back.
00:27:51That's right, I would.
00:27:53Are you coming down, rebel?
00:27:55I got no call to fight with you, sergeant.
00:27:58Well, I got to drag you down.
00:28:00Let him alone, Burdock.
00:28:04Leave me up on my feet.
00:28:06Why don't you get up, Vonstadt?
00:28:08Burdock!
00:28:10You want to twist somebody's leg?
00:28:12I ain't occupied for the next few minutes.
00:28:14Lance is hung, you ought to forgive him a lot.
00:28:16Caduceus!
00:28:18Caduceus!
00:28:22Where's that A-Rev?
00:28:24Ah, the captain threw him in the guardhouse.
00:28:26Ain't you heard him yelling?
00:28:28No, I ain't.
00:28:30Ah, the crazy gorilla.
00:28:32He can't stand the guardhouse.
00:28:34Just makes him crazier.
00:28:36Burial formation for Lieutenant Holloway in 40 minutes.
00:28:38Any man missing gets three hours of the train duty.
00:28:40You got it?
00:28:41Yeah, sure, sir.
00:28:43All right, hop to it.
00:29:12Yes, sir.
00:29:31Man died,
00:29:34and wasted the way.
00:29:36Yes, man give without the ghost.
00:29:39And where is he?
00:29:41Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stalk thereof die in the ground,
00:29:48yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
00:29:56As the waters fall from the sea, and the flood decayeth and dryeth up,
00:30:03so man lieth down, and riseth not.
00:30:08Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
00:30:33All right.
00:30:44Let's take Harmony's word for it.
00:30:46Let's assume Toussos is going to attack.
00:30:49That means he'll do it before the relief column gets here, and that way we don't stand a chance.
00:30:54Before he attacks, he'll have to assemble west of the Flint heads.
00:30:57That means he'll have to come through the pass to get here.
00:31:00I'd like to take a patrol out to Fort Invincible and try and hold him off up there.
00:31:03No, I can't spare you, Richard, and I can't spare the men.
00:31:06I mean a small patrol, six or seven men.
00:31:08Six or seven men?
00:31:10Toussos will have hundreds.
00:31:12We can still only get through that pass a few at a time.
00:31:15It didn't look so invincible the last time you were up there, did it?
00:31:18The way I figured, you can hold Invincible with a small party, but only for a short time.
00:31:23If I can hold Toussos off up there until the relief column gets here, we'll be out of trouble.
00:31:28What about the water supply up there?
00:31:30We can carry it up to the last two or three days.
00:31:33If we're up there any longer than that, we won't be needing any.
00:31:37When would you want to leave?
00:31:38Right away, tomorrow morning.
00:31:40All right, Richard.
00:31:42I guess it's that or nothing.
00:31:44I'll give you the best men left on the post.
00:31:46I'd rather pick them out myself, sir.
00:31:47Certainly, take anyone you want.
00:31:49Have the adjutant write out the orders.
00:31:51Thank you, sir.
00:31:52I want to apologize for my attitude last time we spoke.
00:31:57I wasn't myself.
00:31:59I'm glad to see you're looking better, sir.
00:32:02It's merely the calm before the storm, I'm afraid.
00:32:05Good night, Richard.
00:32:07Good night, sir.
00:32:09I'm, uh...
00:32:11I'm sorry about Holloway.
00:32:14Well, I guess he knows that.
00:32:21All right, kids, gather round, gather round.
00:32:23What's the good word tonight?
00:32:24Read it and you'll see.
00:32:27All right.
00:32:33Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:32:35The following enlisted men will form at 5.40 a.m.
00:32:39Fully equipped for a combat patrol to be commanded by Captain Lance,
00:32:431st Austin Trooper, 5th Cavalry,
00:32:46Senior Sergeant Murdock,
00:32:48Corporal Gilchrist,
00:32:50Trooper Caboosean,
00:32:52Trooper Onstat,
00:32:54Trooper Rutledge,
00:32:55Trumpeter Saxton.
00:32:57Second in command will be 1st Lieutenant Winters.
00:33:00J. Harmony will act as scout
00:33:03by order of Colonel Drum.
00:33:06Well, that lets me out.
00:33:07Me too.
00:33:08Let's get back to the card game.
00:33:10That's a mighty ugly body of men.
00:33:13Looks like he picked the men he hated the most.
00:33:16Well, they're ones that hated him the most.
00:33:19I don't figure.
00:33:21Why me?
00:33:22Why any of us?
00:33:23Well, now.
00:33:25What are all the old hens clucking about this time?
00:33:28You ain't seen this order.
00:33:29No, my little hero, I ain't seen this order.
00:33:32If I can see this board, I'll bet you just about as good as anybody.
00:33:40You must figure I'm having too good a time around here tonight.
00:33:44Must be getting me away someplace where it's dry as boot leather.
00:33:47It ain't no matter how dry it is.
00:33:50If you're dead...
00:33:51I ain't gonna be dead.
00:33:52I'm coming back.
00:33:55Like Holloway, maybe.
00:33:57I hope.
00:34:01Say, the A-Rab's still in the guardhouse.
00:34:03You reckon he's gonna turn him loose to go with us?
00:34:06If I ever put him in the guardhouse, I'd never take him out on patrol.
00:34:10Ah!
00:34:11Ah!
00:34:12Let me out!
00:34:13Let me at it!
00:34:15Let me out!
00:34:18You're gonna keep this up all night.
00:34:20Let me out, friend.
00:34:22So you can kill the captain?
00:34:27So I can kill the captain.
00:34:30I don't mind you doing it, A-Rab, but you gotta do it on your own time.
00:34:34Let me out!
00:34:36Let me out!
00:34:37Let me...
00:34:38Ah!
00:34:39Ah!
00:34:40Ah!
00:34:41Ah!
00:34:42Ah!
00:34:43Ah!
00:34:44Ah!
00:34:45Ah!
00:34:46Ah!
00:34:47Ah!
00:34:53Oh, Lord!
00:34:55Corporal LaGuard, post number eight.
00:34:57Corporal LaGuard, post number eight.
00:34:59What's the matter?
00:35:00Look what that local A-Rab done.
00:35:05I wouldn't have believed it.
00:35:07Well, I got orders to let him out anyway.
00:35:09He's on patrol tomorrow.
00:35:10Just as well.
00:35:11I don't think he likes it in there.
00:35:13No, I guess not.
00:35:18All right, A-Rab.
00:35:19Come on, get out.
00:35:20You're on patrol tomorrow morning with Captain Lance.
00:35:24He asked for you especially.
00:35:30He asked for me?
00:35:32That's right.
00:35:38So, he asked for Trooper Caboose.
00:35:44So...
00:35:47He made a trooper named Death.
00:35:50Don't do nothing that'll get you back here.
00:35:52We gotta keep this guardhouse in one piece.
00:35:56There's always time.
00:36:00Always place.
00:36:09Think he'll do it?
00:36:11Probably.
00:36:17What do you want?
00:36:18Well, I have to talk to you, Cathy.
00:36:19There's something I want to tell you.
00:36:22There's nothing you have to say that would do any good.
00:36:25Not after what you've done.
00:36:29And I wouldn't want to listen to anything that you might have to say.
00:36:35Probably you want to tell me you're sorry.
00:36:37That you didn't mean what you did.
00:36:41Or perhaps you're gonna say it wouldn't happen again.
00:36:44Maybe you want another chance.
00:36:50Or were you gonna say that love made you do it?
00:36:56Well, you're not gonna say anything to me.
00:36:59Not about love or Bill or what has been or will be or what might have been.
00:37:07Because I'm not gonna listen.
00:37:09Because to me you're as dead as Bill is.
00:37:12More dead.
00:37:15Because I'm gonna remember him.
00:37:18And I've put you out of my heart.
00:37:24Do you hear me?
00:37:28Now leave me alone.
00:37:31Get out of here!
00:37:33Get out!
00:37:39Get out!
00:38:09Thank you, angel, for doing this.
00:38:11There'll be a reward in heaven for girls like you.
00:38:15Well, there better be a reward right down here.
00:38:17There's only enough here to last me three or four days, darling.
00:38:20You know I'll be back as soon as it's gone.
00:38:23Will you?
00:38:24Have I ever lied to you, Jenny?
00:38:26Yeah.
00:38:27Oh, Jenny.
00:38:29You start talking like that and I'll think you don't love me anymore.
00:38:32Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go.
00:38:35Oh, wait a minute, wait.
00:38:37I've got to wait for the rest of this.
00:38:43Now you be a good girl while I'm gone.
00:38:45Or I'll bash your pretty little head in for you.
00:38:47Now give us a kiss.
00:38:50Tis whiskey, not glory, that makes a man.
00:38:56I'd trade all my medals.
00:39:07Oh, now, now, none of that.
00:39:09Don't you worry your pretty little head.
00:39:11I'll be coming back to you, all right?
00:39:13Now give us a kiss.
00:39:14Ah, that's better.
00:39:16You just remember, darling, I'll be thinking of you.
00:39:19And only you.
00:39:21Every minute of the time.
00:39:23Yes, every minute, darling.
00:39:25Angel!
00:39:38Prepare to mount.
00:39:42Mount.
00:39:45Forward.
00:39:47Ho!
00:40:07Ho!
00:40:37Ho!
00:41:07Ho!
00:41:37Ho!
00:42:03Ho!
00:42:08Ho!
00:42:12What about the cistern?
00:42:14Dry, bone dry.
00:42:18How about the acequia down below?
00:42:20Busted.
00:42:22You gonna tell the soldiers?
00:42:25They'll find out soon enough.
00:42:27You say so.
00:42:29I think I'll take a look the other side of the pass.
00:42:31Something I can't catch quite.
00:42:33When he's coming.
00:42:35That's what I can't catch.
00:42:37Sometime tomorrow, maybe.
00:42:39Afternoon.
00:42:40Night.
00:42:42Maybe not till dawn the day after.
00:42:50On the other hand, he might show up an hour from now.
00:42:53If you start trying to calculate that fellow to do something at the time you calculate,
00:42:58then it's a time to figure if it is the opposite.
00:43:02See you, Dick.
00:43:06See you.
00:43:17Prepare to dismount.
00:43:19Dismount.
00:43:25Close it up. Close it up.
00:43:28Gilchrist.
00:43:30Take cabochon as a detail and close the gate.
00:43:33Bring the ammunition and put it up on the fire step.
00:43:36Sergeant Murdoch, I want you to locate suitable quarters for all of us.
00:43:40And see that the spare canteens and the packs are placed in whatever quarters you choose for me.
00:43:45Also detail someone to corral the horses.
00:43:48And Saxton, I want all calls sounded.
00:43:51Lieutenant Winters, you'll accompany me on an inspection of the walls.
00:43:55You have your orders.
00:43:57All right. Fall to.
00:44:01Just a minute, Onstot.
00:44:03The horses seem to like you better than any of the rest of us.
00:44:06You take care of them.
00:44:09Where are you going with them canteens?
00:44:11You heard the captain.
00:44:13Just leave mine be.
00:44:14I never saw you get so hot about water.
00:44:16Never mind what you never saw.
00:44:18Give me my canteens.
00:44:20Gilchrist.
00:44:21I can take care of anybody that questions my rank, Lieutenant.
00:44:24You'll get the same water ration as everyone else, understand?
00:44:27Yes, sir.
00:44:28All right.
00:44:29All right.
00:44:30All right.
00:44:31All right.
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33All right.
00:44:34All right.
00:44:35All right.
00:44:36You'll get the same water ration as everyone else, understand, Gilchrist?
00:44:41Yes, sir.
00:44:42Now get back to unpacking that horse.
00:44:47Carry on, Sergeant.
00:44:48Yes.
00:44:57Well, that's one way to handle it.
00:44:59He'd been drinking.
00:45:01Gilchrist, I mean.
00:45:02Water?
00:45:03In this country?
00:45:07If you need any, you can come around to my quarters.
00:45:09I'll take what you ration the men, no more.
00:45:12Speaking of quarters, you're entitled to share mine wherever they are.
00:45:15I'll get by, thanks.
00:45:19Suit yourself.
00:45:22Let's take a look at these walls.
00:45:25Captain, this is mighty thirsty work.
00:45:28Must work is.
00:45:35Now, to sum up.
00:45:37The wall's in pretty good shape.
00:45:39It'll stand up all right under rifle fire.
00:45:41Yes, sir.
00:45:42After all, they can only come through that pass a few at a time.
00:45:45We can't let them get away.
00:45:47We'll have to make a deal.
00:45:49Under rifle fire.
00:45:50Yes, sir.
00:45:51After all, they can only come through that pass a few at a time.
00:45:54We can bring enough fire to bear to take care of that situation.
00:45:57It wasn't taken care of last time, and there was half a troop up here.
00:46:01Well, maybe we got a couple of tricks up our sleeves.
00:46:04Captain Lance.
00:46:05Yes, Sergeant.
00:46:08Sir, I put the men in the old barracks.
00:46:10They can fix a lane or two against the wall.
00:46:12Put Lieutenant Weathers in the QM building.
00:46:14Good work, Sergeant.
00:46:16I figured the best place for the captain was in the guardhouse.
00:46:21Very good, Sergeant.
00:46:23Go there. I'll join you directly.
00:46:27Now, you better get some rest.
00:46:29I'm going to take some men up to the pass.
00:46:30Tonight you'll be in command here.
00:46:32In command of what?
00:46:34We're horses.
00:46:37Hey, Captain.
00:46:38Yes, I know. It's thirsty work. Mighty thirsty work.
00:46:46Go easy with that.
00:46:50More of it in there.
00:46:52What is this stuff, Captain?
00:46:54I don't want anybody in here unless I'm here. Understand?
00:46:58Yes, sir.
00:46:59Well, let's go.
00:47:01I don't want anybody in here unless I'm here. Understand?
00:47:04Yes, sir.
00:47:11There's something I'd like to discuss with the captain if he's got the time.
00:47:14What is it, Sergeant?
00:47:15There's a vacancy, sir.
00:47:17On account of Lieutenant Holloway being killed.
00:47:21So?
00:47:22Well, sir, I'm the senior non-commissioned officer in line, and I...
00:47:25Your application for a commission has been in three times.
00:47:28This time, I asked that it be turned down.
00:47:32I figured maybe you did.
00:47:35But seeing the way things are,
00:47:37you know, if anything should happen to the captain,
00:47:41there ain't many of us coming out of this.
00:47:44Maybe only one or two.
00:47:47Maybe only one.
00:47:53That's quite possible.
00:47:56It'll be interesting to see which one it is.
00:47:58Won't it, Sergeant?
00:48:04Sergeant.
00:48:07I want a fatigue detail tonight.
00:48:10Half an hour after mess.
00:48:26I've learned two things in my life.
00:48:29One, I miss it. You can't even up a fingernail by biting it.
00:48:33And the other, I miss it.
00:48:36I miss it.
00:48:38I miss it.
00:48:40I miss it.
00:48:42I miss it.
00:48:44I miss it.
00:48:46I miss it.
00:48:48I miss it.
00:48:50I miss it.
00:48:52I miss it.
00:48:53One is that you can't even up a fingernail by biting it.
00:48:56The other is that you can't drink a quart of whiskey every day of your life.
00:48:59And stop it just like that.
00:49:01It ain't healthy.
00:49:02Every day of your life?
00:49:04Well, no, not quite.
00:49:05Just since I was three years old.
00:49:07Maybe you better go back to the water.
00:49:10Water? That's for fish.
00:49:14Go get me a new pick. That one's dull.
00:49:16Yes, Corporal.
00:49:24Come on.
00:49:33The holes are drilled for the dynamite, sir.
00:49:35A couple here on the pass and one halfway between the pass and the fort.
00:49:38You think you can handle this stuff all right?
00:49:40Yes, sir.
00:49:43Do you remember hearing them tell us about it at the point?
00:49:47Yes, sir.
00:49:49You've got a good memory, Rutledge.
00:49:53All right, take it.
00:50:10Turn that one up a little brighter, understand?
00:50:12Yes, sir.
00:50:18Oh, Captain, sir.
00:50:20If you'll pardon the liberty, sir.
00:50:22Have you got a cigar, I can have it.
00:50:28Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you.
00:50:30When is General Harmony coming back, Captain?
00:50:33When he's ready.
00:50:34I suppose so.
00:50:36Hey, these things make you thirsty, don't they?
00:50:40Yeah, well, don't smoke them then.
00:50:43So far, can't do nothing around these, huh?
00:50:45Oh, Gilchrist.
00:50:47Yes, sir.
00:50:48The rest of us go back to the fort tonight.
00:50:49Tonight, you stay here on guard duty, first shift.
00:50:53If your patsy should put in an appearance,
00:50:56all you have to do is touch off the dagger.
00:50:59Yes, sir.
00:51:00Leave with a 20-year thirst.
00:51:03Captain Lance.
00:51:04What is it?
00:51:06Lieutenant Winters.
00:51:07I came up to relieve you.
00:51:08Get back to the fort or I'll put you under arrest.
00:51:11I'm tired of being put on the shelf by you.
00:51:14Go on back, I'll take over here.
00:51:16You fool, you haven't even got the strength to stand up straight.
00:51:20You think I'm so sick, why'd you bring me here?
00:51:22You're drunk.
00:51:26What if I am?
00:51:27Where'd you get it?
00:51:29There's a whole river of it running right through the middle of the fort.
00:51:33Well, there won't be for long.
00:51:36Sergeant Murdock.
00:51:37Yes, sir.
00:51:38Hold the men.
00:51:39All right, pick up your equipment.
00:51:40Rutledge.
00:51:42Rutledge.
00:51:43Yes, sir.
00:51:44Hurry up.
00:51:45Right down.
00:51:46All in.
00:51:47All right, look alive.
00:51:48Get in there.
00:51:50When we get back, consider yourself under arrest and remain in your quarters.
00:51:55Look out!
00:52:07Come down here.
00:52:15A thousand pardons, Effendi.
00:52:18The rock fell.
00:52:20It might have killed you.
00:52:24It must have been the will of heaven.
00:52:30You can see for yourself.
00:52:33No man can move that rock.
00:52:36Get it out of the way.
00:52:39Alone, Effendi?
00:52:40Get it out of the way.
00:52:42Alone, Effendi?
00:52:43Get it out of the way.
00:53:01Get it out of the way or I'll have you shot.
00:53:12Get it out of the way.
00:53:28Now take your place.
00:53:38All right, straighten it up.
00:53:41You did that on purpose.
00:53:44It was the will of heaven.
00:53:46Detail, attention.
00:53:48Right face.
00:53:50Forward march.
00:53:57Oh, Jerry.
00:54:01Thanks.
00:54:03You're good at the devil.
00:54:10You're good at the devil.
00:54:40More.
00:55:01More, Effendi.
00:55:03I'm a big man.
00:55:04That's not my fault.
00:55:10Hey, that ain't enough to wet my teeth.
00:55:23You old enough to have teeth.
00:55:25Yeah, I'm old enough.
00:55:26Then you're old enough to get up in the pass and relieve Gilchrist.
00:55:29Right now?
00:55:30Right now.
00:55:31He's done two hours.
00:55:32He'll tell you what to do up there.
00:55:35You don't look thirsty.
00:55:40Rebs don't need water anyway.
00:55:41Give me some of that horse water.
00:55:44Yeah.
00:55:46Come to think of it, it ought to suit a deserter.
00:55:57What about the extra canteens?
00:55:59Captain's saving them for tomorrow.
00:56:01He sure ain't saving us.
00:56:09Don't it seem funny to you there's no news of Joe Harmony?
00:56:11Nothing seems funny to me.
00:56:13It's because you've got no imagination.
00:56:14Maybe you've got enough for both of us.
00:56:15Maybe I have.
00:56:17I've got enough to be nervous anyway.
00:56:21How's Lieutenant?
00:56:22How do I know?
00:56:39You all right?
00:57:09I'm all right.
00:57:39I'm all right.
00:58:09I'm all right.
00:58:39All right.
00:59:09He put me out there to die.
00:59:33That's why he gave me that carbine.
00:59:39Stay where you are.
00:59:44What's the trouble, Captain?
00:59:45Somebody fired a couple of shots in here.
00:59:48It was not I, Effendi.
00:59:50I have no carbine.
00:59:53Are all the others accounted for?
00:59:55As far as I know, sir.
00:59:56Well, check on it.
00:59:57Yes, sir.
00:59:58I came to watch over you, Effendi.
01:00:00See no harm come to you.
01:00:04That was very thoughtful of you.
01:00:08Everything all right after the pass?
01:00:09Yes, sir.
01:00:10Sexton's on it.
01:00:11You better tell him what happened.
01:00:12He's not going to get jumpy hearing those shots.
01:00:15And check on this man's story.
01:00:17Yes, sir.
01:00:19All right, A-Rant.
01:00:20Get moving.
01:00:37Captain Lance!
01:00:58Captain Lance!
01:01:04What's wrong?
01:01:10It's him that took those shots at you, Captain.
01:01:12I guess he got scared when he seen Joe there.
01:01:14And I can't find Rutledge.
01:01:16Worry about that later.
01:01:18Come on.
01:01:19On your feet.
01:01:21Dick.
01:01:23Can you hear me?
01:01:24Yeah, I can hear you, Joe.
01:01:27You should have let me shot him when we had a chance.
01:01:31Now it's too late.
01:01:34He's coming, Dick.
01:01:36Yeah, I know, Joe.
01:01:39He's coming.
01:01:41He's coming.
01:01:42He's coming.
01:01:43He's coming.
01:01:44He's coming.
01:01:45He's coming.
01:01:46He's coming.
01:01:47He's coming.
01:01:48He's coming.
01:01:50You better let me help you.
01:01:51Yes, sir.
01:01:53You remember that's something I couldn't catch hold of?
01:01:59I finally got a hold of it.
01:02:01Toussos knows everything.
01:02:05He's in no hurry, Dick.
01:02:09It makes no difference if the relief column does come.
01:02:14Yes, Joe.
01:02:16Because he knows the whole relief column is made up of only 31 men.
01:02:27Just 31 men.
01:02:47All right, Cabooshan.
01:02:53For the moment, I think we can assume that by this time tomorrow, some of us will be
01:03:12dead.
01:03:14I've never permitted men to risk death in a combat detail under my command without explaining
01:03:18why.
01:03:20Also, I'd like to straighten out any misapprehensions you may have as to why you were picked for
01:03:26this detail.
01:03:29In each case, my only consideration was the defense of Fort Winston.
01:03:36A fort is under man, and I picked the men that I thought could best be spared.
01:03:46I'm prepared to give you my individual reasons if you want them.
01:03:51If not, the detail is dismissed.
01:04:06Very well.
01:04:10Sergeant Murdock, as for you, your record as a non-com is full of nothing but bullying
01:04:17and brutality.
01:04:19That's why you haven't been offered your commission.
01:04:22The result is you're a malcontent.
01:04:24Your absence from Fort Winston is no loss.
01:04:28Yes, sir.
01:04:31Trooper Arnstadt, a man who will desert once is a man who will desert again, given the
01:04:37slightest opportunity.
01:04:39Here, there won't be any opportunity.
01:04:42The desert will be a much worse enemy for you than any Apache you might have to face.
01:04:50Trooper Rutledge, you came 2,000 miles to serve under my command with only one motive,
01:04:57revenge.
01:04:59With your intelligence and your training, you should have been promoted many times.
01:05:03But your record shows nothing, good or bad.
01:05:07At Winston, they need men who are more than adequate.
01:05:11Yes, sir.
01:05:16Trooper Kabushik, the reason for your presence on this detail won't be found on any record
01:05:22book.
01:05:24It's impossible to transcribe the feelings that a man carries in his soul.
01:05:30Here, the dark thoughts that you carry will be less harmful.
01:05:35I don't think any other explanation is necessary.
01:05:39No, sir.
01:05:43Trumpeter Saxton, you have long and publicly made known your wish to trade your trumpet
01:05:50for a carbine.
01:05:52Last night, I gave you one.
01:05:55However, both you and I know that you're a coward and have no such wish.
01:06:02No, sir.
01:06:06Corporal Buchrist, yours is a record of drunkenness, brawls, and destruction of Army property
01:06:14that is unequaled in the United States Cavalry.
01:06:18Somehow, you've managed to keep your stripes.
01:06:22But in the event of an attack on Winston, the proximity of the Fort Whiskey would see
01:06:27you end up inevitably in front of the firing squad.
01:06:32You've omitted me in your analysis, Captain.
01:06:35Your rank entitles you to privacy, Lieutenant.
01:06:38I wish to know why I was included in the detail.
01:06:42Very well.
01:06:44You're here, Lieutenant, because you're an extremely ill man.
01:06:47I needed an officer.
01:06:49There was nothing to lose by selecting an...
01:06:54You see what I mean.
01:06:59Any questions?
01:07:02Yes, sir.
01:07:04What is it?
01:07:06I'm sure we all appreciate having our little faults and weaknesses pointed out to us, sir.
01:07:11But I imagine the Captain has a reason for being here, too.
01:07:15You think so?
01:07:16Yes, sir, I think so.
01:07:18We all think so.
01:07:20And just to even things up a little bit, I'd like to have the pleasure of telling the Captain
01:07:24what I think that reason is.
01:07:27Go ahead.
01:07:30You were supposed to take Tussauds up to Fort Grant.
01:07:34But you had the orders changed.
01:07:37And Lieutenant Holloway went out and got himself conveniently killed in your place.
01:07:44Then you began to feel guilty about it.
01:07:46So you figured out a suicide mission
01:07:49and fixed it so you could take every one of us that you hated along with you.
01:07:54That's all, Captain.
01:07:56That's the way it is.
01:08:00So that's the way it is.
01:08:03Yes, sir.
01:08:05Detail!
01:08:07Attention!
01:08:09Dismissed!
01:08:13Now, Rutledge.
01:08:15Yes, Captain.
01:08:17You disappeared for a while last night.
01:08:20Where were you?
01:08:22I went down to the corral to take a look at the horses.
01:08:26You're lying, aren't you?
01:08:29That's an enlisted man's privilege, Captain.
01:08:43I'm sorry.
01:09:06Any sign from Unstead?
01:09:08No, sir. He hasn't shown himself for about 15 minutes.
01:09:13You'd better go out there and see if he's all right.
01:09:16Yes, sir.
01:09:44Do you think you can handle a carbine now without getting careless?
01:09:49I think so, sir.
01:09:55Here.
01:09:57Thank you, sir.
01:10:00You're welcome.
01:10:02You're welcome.
01:10:04You're welcome.
01:10:06You're welcome.
01:10:08You're welcome.
01:10:10Thank you, sir.
01:10:18Captain.
01:10:22Don't I get any?
01:10:24No. Do you want to know why?
01:10:28No.
01:10:41No.
01:10:51The Indians are on the other side of the wall, Corporal.
01:11:11Why didn't you shoot, you fool?
01:11:13I thought better of it.
01:11:16Shoot him, we'd all be done for.
01:11:19He's the only man who can keep this outfit going.
01:11:25Where are you, Unstead?
01:11:27This is Murdock.
01:11:40Come on.
01:11:49Five years I've been in the Army,
01:11:51and I get captured on account of a dirty rep.
01:12:01Captain.
01:12:03What is it?
01:12:05There's Murdock coming back.
01:12:11Wait a minute, Captain. That's Murdock.
01:12:17No trooper ever carried a carbine that way.
01:12:21He'll be coming now. Fire at will.
01:12:40Hold your fire!
01:12:43Let them carry it back. They're wounded.
01:13:10Let's go.
01:13:41Do you know the trail to Arahawa Rim?
01:13:44I do.
01:13:46Yeah.
01:13:48Yes, I know it. Why?
01:13:50Well, as near as I can figure it.
01:13:52The relief column ought to be at the Rim sometime tomorrow.
01:13:56I want you to ride out there and tell Captain Conrahan
01:13:59to get here as fast as he can.
01:14:03Do you really mean that?
01:14:05I just said it, didn't I?
01:14:08You might be dead when I get back.
01:14:10I'll take my chances on that.
01:14:13How do you know I'd ride to Conrahan?
01:14:15How do you know I wouldn't ride for the Fort?
01:14:18It'd solve all my troubles, you know.
01:14:21Yeah, I know.
01:14:23And I also know that whatever your faults are,
01:14:26you're still an Army man.
01:14:30You can take my horse if you want to.
01:14:32No, thanks. I got a good one.
01:14:35Good luck, Dick.
01:14:37Good luck to you, Jerry.
01:14:39How big a column has Conrahan got?
01:14:43400 men.
01:14:45Nice round number.
01:15:05Fire!
01:15:23He's firing!
01:15:35All right, Captain.
01:15:39Pusher, open the gate.
01:15:50You all right, Saxton?
01:15:54Yes, sir. Fine, sir.
01:16:05Let's go.
01:16:36I'd like to try to get through, sir.
01:16:40You have to do it this way.
01:16:42That way?
01:16:43That way.
01:17:03Hey, Ram.
01:17:04What do you think about when you're thirsty?
01:17:08I'm thirsty.
01:17:10Water.
01:17:14Water.
01:17:16Sometimes melons.
01:17:17You're a great help, a great help.
01:17:23Yes, sir.
01:17:28Sometimes blood.
01:17:29We can't go on like this.
01:17:43You got a cigar, Corporal?
01:17:45Sir.
01:17:46I said you got a cigar.
01:17:48Yes, sir, in my saddle bag.
01:17:50Go get it and take the pen and off the guide on and put this on it.
01:17:53Well, sir.
01:17:54I have a little talk with Tussauds.
01:17:57But what's the Seaguar got to do with it?
01:17:59You just go and get it, and you'll find out.
01:18:01And take that pistol off your belt.
01:18:05Yes, sir.
01:18:07♪♪
01:18:12♪♪
01:18:36The charge of dynamite is under the rocks.
01:18:39All you have to do is light the fuse with your cigar when I give the signal.
01:18:43Yes, sir.
01:18:44If you have any trouble, call my name out once and get back to the fort immediately.
01:18:49Yes, sir.
01:19:06Time's short, hard one.
01:19:33Why you come out under pale flag?
01:19:35I came to offer you a chance to surrender.
01:19:38You have strange courage, dog soldier.
01:19:41Do you command mighty party that you can speak such words?
01:19:45Or is it because you think no army but your army?
01:19:49No warriors but yours?
01:19:51By waiting half day, I capture your men with bag of water.
01:20:10Your warriors have great thirst, hard one.
01:20:13My terms are simple.
01:20:15Your men will lay down their arms and come through the pass on foot.
01:20:19Scout I send back to you.
01:20:21He able to speak before he die?
01:20:26He spoke.
01:20:27Still you make terms to Trusos?
01:20:29You heard.
01:20:31Help you have sent for will do no good.
01:20:34One and thirty men.
01:20:36Our chieftains have promised four hundred men.
01:20:38It is not their way to promise much and send little.
01:20:42I know what I say is true.
01:20:45You're a liar.
01:20:47There is no more to hear.
01:20:49Wait.
01:20:52I do not speak foolishly of surrender.
01:20:55I have brought with me strong medicine.
01:20:58Medicine that will make these mountains tremble and leap from the earth.
01:21:03I can destroy this pass and all of your warriors with it.
01:21:08Watch.
01:21:10You will see.
01:21:13All right, corporal.
01:21:19Captain Lance.
01:21:22Very well, corporal. Go back to the fort.
01:21:26This medicine is controlled from the fort. Soon you will see.
01:21:29You lie, hard one. Your medicine failed.
01:21:32You who know all things know nothing.
01:21:35Trusos is growing old and foolish.
01:21:38No more time for talk, dog soldier.
01:21:41Return to fort, soldier.
01:21:43With no water, you will soon be as dust under water.
01:21:47You will soon be as dust under hooves of our horses.
01:22:17What happened?
01:22:18I do not know, Captain.
01:22:19The fuse was gone and that little cap thing too.
01:22:22Someone tampered with it.
01:22:24That's what I would say.
01:22:26tonight
01:22:45It seems the fuse has disappeared from the demonstration charge.
01:22:50It's funny.
01:22:51I would've sworn I put it in.
01:22:54Makes me wonder about the charge up in the pass.
01:22:57Maybe the fuse has gone out of that one, too.
01:23:01Well, Captain, why don't you take a run up there and see?
01:23:06Why did you do it, Rutledge?
01:23:09We're all of us caught up here together.
01:23:10Where did you expect to go?
01:23:13With you, Captain.
01:23:15And just remember this.
01:23:17I'm not committing suicide.
01:23:18I'm killing you.
01:23:21No, Rutledge, you are committing suicide.
01:23:24Because I'm going back up in that pass with a new fuse
01:23:27the first chance I get and blow it sky high.
01:23:30And whatever you think, I didn't bring this patrol up here
01:23:34to get every man killed.
01:23:36I'm going to get out everyone alive that I can.
01:23:40And especially you, Rutledge.
01:23:43I'm going to get you back to Winston
01:23:44and have you court-martialed.
01:23:46I'm going to have you hung with the strongest length of rope
01:23:49in the whole New Mexico territory.
01:23:54Good luck.
01:24:13Why do you think you're a police officer?
01:24:15You're a male.
01:24:16So why can't you do your job?
01:24:18Well, it's my privority.
01:24:20I'm the one who can do my job.
01:24:22And you're the one who can't.
01:25:24I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:26I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:28I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:30I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:32I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:34I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:36I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:38I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:40I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:42I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:44I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:46I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:48I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:50I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:52I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:54I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:56I don't know what you're talking about.
01:25:58I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:00I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:02I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:04I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:06I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:08I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:10I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:12I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:14I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:18I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:20I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:22I don't know what you're talking about.
01:26:42Lift him!
01:26:44Lift him!
01:26:46Lift him!
01:26:48This is what you wanted, Captain?
01:27:07It was in Rutledge's pocket.
01:27:11That's exactly what I wanted.
01:27:14I can reset these fuses.
01:27:15This mission may still be a success.
01:27:19Judging from the ruckus I hear out there,
01:27:21our Red brothers are too busy at the moment
01:27:23to pay much attention to us.
01:27:27I need somebody to cover me.
01:27:30I'll go, Captain.
01:27:32I am ready, offendee.
01:27:33No, you can't go with that shoulder cushion.
01:27:35I will not let anyone else go.
01:27:40All right, come on.
01:28:13All right.
01:28:15I take it, then.
01:28:22You stay here, kids.
01:28:24All right.
01:28:25All right.
01:28:30Stop!
01:28:31Stop at one o'clock!
01:28:37Ah!
01:28:38Before they kill me, I'd like to get my hands loose by just five minutes.
01:28:54It looks like you're gonna get your wish, Rip.
01:29:24You always had me tied with your dirty Yankee stripes.
01:29:27Diego, in color!
01:29:30Why you fight so soon before you die?
01:29:32Because he's a no good son of a Yankee mule.
01:29:34Your hate is strong, dog soldier.
01:29:36Yeah? Turn me loose and I'll show you how a dirty Yankee soldier ought to die.
01:29:41Fidichi! Fidichi!
01:29:45I've waited a long time for this, Sergeant.
01:29:47Just don't run away, rebel.
01:29:49Noeshi! Noeshi!
01:29:54Noeshi! Noeshi!
01:30:24Noeshi!
01:30:54Fidichi!
01:31:24Turn the other!
01:31:44Listen! Hurry! Hurry, offender!
01:31:54Go! Go offender!
01:32:25SIX MONTHS LATER
01:32:43Saxton, anything moving?
01:32:45No, nothing.
01:32:47Everything's quiet, Captain.
01:32:55CORPORAL
01:33:02Corporal.
01:33:04Looks like they cut us down a bit.
01:33:07Yeah, I kind of figured they would.
01:33:10Next time they come, they're gonna cut down the rest of us.
01:33:15Looks that way, don't it?
01:33:17Yes, sir.
01:33:23You tried to shoot me, didn't you?
01:33:27Sir?
01:33:29Aimed your carbine at me the other night.
01:33:34Well, I...
01:33:36I guess I got nothing to lose now if I admit that...
01:33:40that idea might have flitted through my head a little.
01:33:43Why didn't you do it?
01:33:45I can't rightly answer that, Captain.
01:33:47Unless...
01:33:49Unless maybe I got the sudden notion that...
01:33:52it might kind of spoil things for you.
01:33:55Not going down the line of duty which you're so fond of, so to speak.
01:34:01No.
01:34:04You're a soldier, Gilchrist.
01:34:06A professional one.
01:34:08You may be creation's worst new son of a soldier, but that's what you are.
01:34:14That's why you couldn't do it.
01:34:17I knew that.
01:34:19That's why I didn't have you shot five minutes after I saw you point the muzzle of that thing at me.
01:34:25You could have had me shot for what I did to them canteens.
01:34:29Yeah.
01:34:31Both cases, I didn't have enough men for a firing squad anyway.
01:34:36I knew that, Captain.
01:34:39Meanwhile, I wonder if you'd do something for me.
01:34:43Anything you say, sir.
01:34:45Down in my quarters, you'll find my loose tobacco and cigarette papers.
01:34:52I'm not quite certain where I left them, but...
01:34:55might have been under one of those canteens, you understand?
01:34:59I need a smoke, Corporal.
01:35:02It may take you a few minutes to find the makings.
01:35:05No longer.
01:35:08Yes, sir.
01:35:14Thank you.
01:35:35Sorry you didn't get to find out how it was with me...
01:35:39sending Holloway off, Joe.
01:35:42Is whiskey not love,
01:35:45brings you here at this hour?
01:35:48Oh, Barney, dear Barney,
01:35:51I can't let you in
01:35:53from the look in your eye.
01:36:00Oh, sir, I forgot.
01:36:02I couldn't find your papers and your tobacco and everything.
01:36:05I didn't think you would.
01:36:07But I looked, sir.
01:36:09Captain Lance, they're coming again, sir.
01:36:12What are they doing out here, sir?
01:36:14It doesn't matter much what they're doing.
01:36:16We've only got about 40 cartridges left between us.
01:36:19Come on, you beautiful creatures!
01:36:21Come on, you red-chested devils!
01:36:23I'm waiting for you!
01:36:25They'll be coming, Corporal.
01:36:27Nothing like hurrying them up a little bit.
01:36:29Come on, you beautiful creatures!
01:36:31Come on, you red-chested devils!
01:36:33I'm waiting for you!
01:36:35They'll be coming, Corporal.
01:36:37Nothing like hurrying them up a little bit.
01:36:42Fire!
01:36:55Corporal, come out here!
01:36:57You come up here, Captain!
01:36:59Wait up here, it's different!
01:37:03Can't you see where we're going?
01:37:05And you red-chested devils are all over us!
01:37:09Barney, dear Barney,
01:37:11I can't let you get away.
01:37:14I've got a look in your eye,
01:37:17You're looking for trouble.
01:37:20Now, to your foul pills,
01:37:22Go back where you are.
01:37:26There's more to be seen
01:37:28Than the floor of heaven.
01:37:29What happened?
01:37:40I slipped, Captain, that's all.
01:37:46Hey, Captain, listen,
01:37:48I got me an accompaniment.
01:37:59Come on!
01:38:29What's that?
01:38:59What's that?
01:39:00What's that?
01:39:02What's that?
01:39:29Please, Barney!
01:39:32Please, Barney!
01:39:34Please, Barney!
01:39:36Please, Barney!
01:39:38Please, Barney!
01:39:40Sergeant Thompson, take over!
01:40:02Captain!
01:40:04Captain!
01:40:32Captain!
01:40:34Captain!
01:41:00We're about ready to go, Lance.
01:41:01Are you comfortable?
01:41:03Yes, I'm fine.
01:41:05Take a look at this new weapon of yours.
01:41:07It's really something, huh?
01:41:09Call it a Gatling gun.
01:41:11350 rounds per minute.
01:41:13You're talking about it, my last year at the point.
01:41:15It does the work of a regiment.
01:41:17That's why they gave me only 31 men.
01:41:19All I need.
01:41:21That gun's going to revolutionize war.
01:41:23I believe it.
01:41:25Are you sure you're all right?
01:41:27Get me that orderly.
01:41:29Parker!
01:41:31You want me, Captain?
01:41:33Really?
01:41:35Where's my captain?
01:41:37Oh, Captain, we got everything packed.
01:41:39Everything you got, Captain.
01:41:41Except the canteens.
01:41:43They were empty.
01:41:45Yes, sir.
01:41:47So we didn't bring them, did we?
01:41:49No.
01:41:50Mount up!
01:41:52Yes, sir.
01:41:54Yes, sir.
01:41:56Yes, sir.
01:42:01Yes, sir.
01:42:19Conrad, take over the detail.
01:42:21Yes, sir.
01:42:23Detail forward, halt!
01:42:26Hello, Doc.
01:42:28Didn't expect to see you back.
01:42:31I did.
01:42:33Well, be that as it may,
01:42:35under the circumstances, I prescribe a drink.
01:42:38No, thanks, I haven't got time.
01:42:40I'm sorry.
01:42:42I got a report to make.
01:42:44Grab a drum.
01:42:46He isn't here.
01:42:48I sent him back myself yesterday.
01:42:50Ordered him, as a matter of fact.
01:42:52Told him to come back.
01:42:53He's had two bad spells.
01:42:55The third time you have one with cerebral hemorrhage,
01:42:57you don't have another.
01:43:00You can make your report to the mirror.
01:43:04Me?
01:43:06I'm acting in command of us?
01:43:08To listen out another colonel
01:43:10or some chowder-headed major.
01:43:13But if you insist on making a report
01:43:15to flesh and blood,
01:43:17I'd suggest Kathy Everson.
01:43:19I don't know.
01:43:20Kathy.
01:43:22She knows now that she was wrong.
01:43:24She's sorry.
01:43:26And she's in love with you, Dick.
01:43:28Believe me, she is.
01:43:37Now, take it easy.
01:43:39You've had five hard days.
01:43:41That's doctor's orders.
01:43:43They say that this world
01:43:45is more wide than a barrel
01:43:47and crowded with men
01:43:48than a barrel
01:43:50and crowded with women
01:43:52delightful to see.
01:43:55But the facts of the matter,
01:43:57alas, is that women
01:43:59are always most happy,
01:44:01be devil and me.
01:44:07If I was a human
01:44:09instead of a soldier,
01:44:12I'd go to my captain
01:44:14and speak to him true.
01:44:16Aha!
01:44:18I'd say, me poor bucko,
01:44:20you're heading for trouble.
01:44:22Captain, dear captain,
01:44:24it's trouble for you.
01:44:26Well, if what he says is true,
01:44:28I'm going to take him out
01:44:30and have him shot.
01:44:32He's safe.
01:44:39It's not to me on self
01:44:41that I'm speaking of, captain.
01:44:43Captain, dear captain,
01:44:45I'm speaking of you.
