Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
3
00:00:30,606 --> 00:00:32,441
Indian country.
Apache country.
4
00:00:32,483 --> 00:00:33,609
A man's scalp
never set too easy,
5
00:00:33,626 --> 00:00:34,710
not even when the tribes
6
00:00:34,752 --> 00:00:36,712
were technically at peace.
7
00:00:36,754 --> 00:00:38,548
Now, with a couple
of the young chiefs
8
00:00:38,583 --> 00:00:40,085
jumping the traces
and out for glory,
9
00:00:40,126 --> 00:00:42,253
the stage trails were
running red again.
10
00:00:42,295 --> 00:00:43,922
There was an army
payroll Wells Fargo
11
00:00:43,926 --> 00:00:45,803
had to get through to Laramie.
12
00:00:45,844 --> 00:00:48,473
Major Thomas Nesbitt,
commandant at Fort Anderson,
13
00:00:48,515 --> 00:00:50,906
was supposed to have
met us with an escort,
14
00:00:50,907 --> 00:00:52,384
but we were and
hour from the Fort now
15
00:00:52,408 --> 00:00:53,910
and still no sign of him.
16
00:00:53,912 --> 00:00:55,830
I didn't like this at all.
17
00:00:55,872 --> 00:00:57,083
My scalp was beginning to feel
18
00:00:57,124 --> 00:00:58,834
less and less a part of me,
19
00:00:58,921 --> 00:01:01,549
and I had a box of gold and
a passenger to think about.
20
00:01:13,702 --> 00:01:15,329
Hyah! Giddy-up!
23
00:02:39,896 --> 00:02:41,481
Stage coming!
24
00:02:42,899 --> 00:02:44,609
Is the escort with
him? No, Sergeant.
25
00:02:44,658 --> 00:02:47,078
They're alone and
burning leather.
26
00:02:54,718 --> 00:02:57,055
Looks like trouble.
27
00:02:57,096 --> 00:02:59,474
Stand by to open the gates.
28
00:03:04,693 --> 00:03:06,654
Something the matter, Sergeant?
29
00:03:06,695 --> 00:03:08,572
The stage we've been
expecting, Lieutenant,
30
00:03:08,614 --> 00:03:10,908
it's coming in fast but there's
no sign of Major Nesbitt.
31
00:03:10,913 --> 00:03:12,581
That doesn't seem possible.
32
00:03:12,623 --> 00:03:14,501
How could they have
missed connections?
33
00:03:14,548 --> 00:03:15,633
That's the way it is, sir.
36
00:03:47,986 --> 00:03:50,025
Little something
you picked up, Jim?
37
00:03:50,026 --> 00:03:51,237
A souvenir for you.
38
00:03:51,279 --> 00:03:52,946
How are you, Billy? Fine.
39
00:03:52,947 --> 00:03:54,907
I didn't know you were
scouting for this outfit.
40
00:03:55,004 --> 00:03:56,005
I get around.
41
00:03:56,047 --> 00:03:57,798
Still wearing my hair too.
42
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Just what did
you do to the fella
43
00:03:58,961 --> 00:04:01,630
that give you
this? I killed him.
44
00:04:01,631 --> 00:04:03,425
Where's Major
Nesbitt and the escort?
45
00:04:03,466 --> 00:04:04,968
We didn't run into them.
46
00:04:05,003 --> 00:04:06,880
We did run into some
Apaches, however.
47
00:04:06,921 --> 00:04:09,091
Lost our driver.
How many Indians?
48
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:10,309
Three was all I saw.
49
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:12,061
We killed two and one got away.
50
00:04:12,103 --> 00:04:14,105
They were wearing war paint.
51
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:21,683
This is Mrs. Oliver,
Lieutenant. She's on her way
52
00:04:21,707 --> 00:04:23,209
to Laramie to see her husband.
53
00:04:23,250 --> 00:04:24,955
I'm afraid you've had
a bad time, Mrs. Oliver.
54
00:04:24,956 --> 00:04:27,126
I'm terribly sorry. I'm
Lieutenant Kimball,
55
00:04:27,168 --> 00:04:28,919
only officer on
the post just now.
56
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:31,941
And I'm Jim Hardie. Wells Fargo.
57
00:04:31,983 --> 00:04:33,377
I brought in a
payroll for the army.
58
00:04:33,401 --> 00:04:34,860
I know, that's why
it was so important
59
00:04:34,861 --> 00:04:36,112
for Major Nesbitt to meet you.
60
00:04:36,154 --> 00:04:37,490
You suppose they've had trouble?
61
00:04:37,531 --> 00:04:39,450
Oh, we'll hope
not. But believe me,
62
00:04:39,498 --> 00:04:41,792
the Major would
be able to handle it.
63
00:04:41,833 --> 00:04:44,169
Sergeant Condon will
arrange quarters for you,
64
00:04:44,202 --> 00:04:45,220
and I'll be honored to have you
65
00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:46,538
join me later for dinner.
66
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:47,998
Well then, we're not going on?
67
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,369
Well that'll be left
for Major Nesbitt
68
00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:50,412
to decide.
69
00:04:50,454 --> 00:04:51,871
Surely, he'll be returning
70
00:04:51,872 --> 00:04:53,373
as soon as he knows
he's missed contact
71
00:04:53,374 --> 00:04:55,043
with the stage. I
see. Thank you.
72
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:56,387
This way, ma'am.
73
00:05:02,773 --> 00:05:04,174
Take it easy with
that box, soldier.
74
00:05:04,222 --> 00:05:06,556
I have a lot of trouble
getting it this far.
75
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:08,142
It'll be taken care of.
76
00:05:08,184 --> 00:05:09,519
Come to my quarters, Mr. Hardie.
77
00:05:09,554 --> 00:05:11,890
I'll need a full report
of this incident.
78
00:05:13,559 --> 00:05:15,978
See you later,
Billy. Sure thing.
79
00:05:16,008 --> 00:05:17,134
Giddy-up.
80
00:05:19,574 --> 00:05:21,952
You seem to be a good
deal more concerned
81
00:05:21,993 --> 00:05:23,413
than you're letting on.
82
00:05:23,454 --> 00:05:24,914
I didn't wanna
alarm Mrs. Oliver.
83
00:05:26,751 --> 00:05:29,546
She's married to a
lieutenant at Fort Laramie.
84
00:05:29,587 --> 00:05:31,423
She's rather
anxious to get to him.
85
00:05:31,424 --> 00:05:33,759
I don't think she
alarms too easy.
86
00:05:33,807 --> 00:05:36,893
I'm quite sure she's
seen Indian trouble before.
87
00:05:36,935 --> 00:05:38,603
I suppose you already
know that I haven't.
88
00:05:38,645 --> 00:05:40,565
Why should I deny the obvious?
89
00:05:40,574 --> 00:05:43,077
This is my first assignment
in hostile territory.
90
00:05:43,119 --> 00:05:44,995
No, I didn't know it.
91
00:05:45,069 --> 00:05:46,445
I don't envy your
job, Lieutenant.
92
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:48,030
If I could, I'd send out
93
00:05:48,072 --> 00:05:49,783
a detachment to scout
for the major's column
94
00:05:49,797 --> 00:05:52,591
and try to find out why
he didn't meet the stage.
95
00:05:52,633 --> 00:05:54,552
But we're already
shorthanded on the post.
96
00:05:54,595 --> 00:05:56,097
You see, Major Nesbitt
97
00:05:56,139 --> 00:05:58,265
was not only supposed
to meet the stage,
98
00:05:58,266 --> 00:05:59,601
but to bring back supplies,
99
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:02,066
ammunition, replacements.
100
00:06:02,108 --> 00:06:03,308
You've seen what we have left.
101
00:06:05,236 --> 00:06:06,863
I noticed it's not
overly crowded.
102
00:06:06,904 --> 00:06:09,074
Whatever happens, we've
got to hold Fort Anderson,
103
00:06:09,116 --> 00:06:11,617
because if it's lost, the
Apache will cut the stage route.
104
00:06:11,618 --> 00:06:13,346
We'll be thrown back a
dozen years in the fight
105
00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:14,872
to tame this country.
106
00:06:14,924 --> 00:06:16,800
I can't spare a
man for scouting.
107
00:06:16,801 --> 00:06:19,221
Not even one? What
about Billy Welch?
108
00:06:19,259 --> 00:06:21,419
As far as that goes, right
now, I'm not doing anything.
109
00:06:22,762 --> 00:06:24,765
You?
110
00:06:24,766 --> 00:06:27,395
With a box of gold
to deliver, Lieutenant,
111
00:06:27,437 --> 00:06:28,876
I'm as anxious to find
out what happened
112
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:31,819
to Major Nesbitt
as the next man.
113
00:06:31,861 --> 00:06:35,072
No, Mr. Hardie, I can't
accept. You're a civilian.
114
00:06:39,335 --> 00:06:40,669
Rider approaching the Fort.
115
00:06:52,851 --> 00:06:54,187
It's a soldier.
116
00:06:54,194 --> 00:06:55,612
Alone?
117
00:06:57,155 --> 00:06:59,616
Yes, Sergeant.
118
00:06:59,721 --> 00:07:01,556
I can't make him out.
119
00:07:01,557 --> 00:07:02,878
There's something
wrong about him.
120
00:07:03,935 --> 00:07:05,853
Open the gate, Sergeant.
121
00:07:07,188 --> 00:07:09,148
It's Major Nesbitt.
122
00:07:19,337 --> 00:07:21,507
Dirty, rotten butchers.
123
00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:24,510
What about the rest?
124
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:27,463
Where's them that
rode out with the major?
125
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:32,119
Don't you think we
better double the guard
126
00:07:32,143 --> 00:07:33,979
on the wall,
Lieutenant, just in case?
127
00:07:35,491 --> 00:07:37,075
Lieutenant?
128
00:07:37,076 --> 00:07:38,160
Yes.
129
00:07:38,202 --> 00:07:39,287
Yes, take care of it.
130
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:43,905
Get a burial detail
for the major.
131
00:07:51,178 --> 00:07:52,364
I don't think you
wanna see this,
132
00:07:52,388 --> 00:07:53,889
Mrs. Oliver.
133
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,555
Well, this is dandy.
134
00:08:00,556 --> 00:08:03,558
Major Nesbitt's dead and
his whole command with him.
135
00:08:03,559 --> 00:08:05,269
We don't know that for a fact.
136
00:08:05,321 --> 00:08:07,616
I think it's safe to
assume they're dead, Billy.
137
00:08:07,658 --> 00:08:09,577
That's an Indian's way.
They'll ambush them
138
00:08:09,658 --> 00:08:11,201
and then send us proof.
139
00:08:11,243 --> 00:08:12,745
Yes, and so here we sit
140
00:08:12,786 --> 00:08:14,753
with an an effective
strength of 15 men
141
00:08:14,754 --> 00:08:16,549
and a green Lieutenant
142
00:08:16,591 --> 00:08:18,134
who's shaking in his boots.
143
00:08:18,175 --> 00:08:20,720
Is that the way you
speak of a superior officer?
144
00:08:20,774 --> 00:08:22,775
Then why isn't he out
here taking command?
145
00:08:22,776 --> 00:08:24,268
Why isn't he out
here getting us ready
146
00:08:24,269 --> 00:08:25,937
to stand off an attack?
147
00:08:25,938 --> 00:08:27,272
Because, mister,
the whole weight
148
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:28,357
of the Apache nation's
149
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:29,859
gonna hit this fort,
150
00:08:29,911 --> 00:08:31,371
you can count on that.
151
00:08:31,413 --> 00:08:33,582
Makes sense. We're
in the way, Hardie.
152
00:08:33,624 --> 00:08:34,709
I can't argue with that.
153
00:08:34,710 --> 00:08:37,170
Yes, and what are we gonna do?
154
00:08:37,212 --> 00:08:40,382
What are we gonna do
about the green lieutenant?
155
00:08:40,468 --> 00:08:43,179
Why don't we start by not
losing our own self-control?
156
00:09:06,983 --> 00:09:08,234
A drink?
157
00:09:08,276 --> 00:09:10,028
No, thank you.
158
00:09:11,273 --> 00:09:14,569
Brave maker,
they call this stuff.
159
00:09:14,619 --> 00:09:16,371
I wish it was true.
160
00:09:16,412 --> 00:09:18,623
I wish I could get what
I need out of a bottle.
161
00:09:19,742 --> 00:09:22,204
Hardie, I'm scared.
162
00:09:22,245 --> 00:09:23,622
I'm really scared.
163
00:09:23,664 --> 00:09:24,915
What am I doing here,
164
00:09:24,996 --> 00:09:26,748
in the middle of a
roaring wilderness?
165
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:28,040
The lives of men,
166
00:09:28,041 --> 00:09:31,754
safety of a fort resting
on my shoulders.
167
00:09:31,755 --> 00:09:34,007
I know what they're
saying out there.
168
00:09:34,017 --> 00:09:36,937
That I'm not fit for the
job, and they're right.
169
00:09:36,978 --> 00:09:40,274
But it is your job,
Lieutenant. You picked it.
170
00:09:40,329 --> 00:09:42,372
No, I didn't, Hardie.
171
00:09:42,373 --> 00:09:44,499
I went to West Point only
because there's always
172
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,668
been a Kimball at West Point.
173
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:48,671
It's taken for granted.
174
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:50,592
It's just that I don't fit
the tradition, Hardie,
175
00:09:50,622 --> 00:09:51,665
and I wasn't man enough
176
00:09:51,706 --> 00:09:54,501
to hold out against it.
177
00:09:54,601 --> 00:09:55,978
I only hoped that somehow
178
00:09:56,019 --> 00:09:57,731
I'd be big enough to face it
179
00:09:57,772 --> 00:10:00,900
when my turn came, but I'm not.
180
00:10:00,935 --> 00:10:03,354
I think you're forgetting
one thing, Lieutenant.
181
00:10:03,396 --> 00:10:05,732
You did go to West
Point and you graduated.
182
00:10:05,778 --> 00:10:07,322
You're an intelligent
man. Right now,
183
00:10:07,364 --> 00:10:09,074
this fort's in trouble.
184
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:10,993
Everyone here is in danger.
185
00:10:11,035 --> 00:10:12,304
We're all in need
of that training
186
00:10:12,328 --> 00:10:14,539
that you received.
187
00:10:14,609 --> 00:10:16,529
Yes, of course.
188
00:10:16,571 --> 00:10:18,573
I can't sit here.
189
00:10:20,763 --> 00:10:22,014
The supplies are low.
190
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:24,704
Food, ammunition, everything.
191
00:10:24,705 --> 00:10:26,081
There can be no
question of looking
192
00:10:26,123 --> 00:10:28,917
for Major Nesbitt's column now.
193
00:10:29,016 --> 00:10:31,393
If any of them are still alive,
they'll be coming back in.
194
00:10:31,435 --> 00:10:32,454
There aren't enough of us left
195
00:10:32,478 --> 00:10:34,898
to help them.
196
00:10:34,941 --> 00:10:36,276
So what are you gonna do?
197
00:10:36,318 --> 00:10:37,819
Give up?
198
00:10:38,952 --> 00:10:40,620
No.
199
00:10:40,621 --> 00:10:42,623
No.
200
00:10:42,664 --> 00:10:44,167
There's only one hope.
201
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:45,461
A routine patrol is due here
202
00:10:45,503 --> 00:10:47,171
from Fort Laramie in a few days.
203
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:49,423
If it comes in time,
we may be spared.
204
00:10:49,464 --> 00:10:51,632
Maybe the Apache haven't
gotten to the point yet
205
00:10:51,633 --> 00:10:52,754
of trying to take this fort.
206
00:11:42,981 --> 00:11:44,691
Gone already.
207
00:11:44,732 --> 00:11:47,820
It was only a handful
of the varmints.
208
00:11:47,861 --> 00:11:49,446
It's just a nuisance raid.
209
00:11:49,499 --> 00:11:51,501
Sent out to try to soften us up.
210
00:11:51,543 --> 00:11:52,877
Doing pretty good, too.
211
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:55,046
It's only a matter of time.
212
00:12:05,534 --> 00:12:07,870
The sergeant's right.
213
00:12:07,911 --> 00:12:10,110
Sitting ducks for the
whole Apache nation.
214
00:12:10,111 --> 00:12:11,822
That's us, Hardie.
215
00:12:11,863 --> 00:12:14,157
That's Fort Anderson.
216
00:12:14,249 --> 00:12:15,710
And the only officer we got left
217
00:12:15,751 --> 00:12:18,712
is cracking to pieces.
218
00:12:18,713 --> 00:12:20,010
Danged if I ain't
starting to get
219
00:12:20,011 --> 00:12:22,973
that funny feeling in my scalp.
220
00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:34,879
Mr. Hardie.
221
00:12:34,967 --> 00:12:36,761
Yes?
222
00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:42,604
Good evening, Mrs. Oliver.
223
00:12:42,645 --> 00:12:44,645
Do you suppose they'll
attack again in the morning?
224
00:12:45,618 --> 00:12:46,995
I don't know.
225
00:12:47,036 --> 00:12:48,746
I do know one thing though,
226
00:12:48,788 --> 00:12:50,498
worrying about it's
not gonna help any.
227
00:12:50,576 --> 00:12:53,579
I suppose you're right.
228
00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:57,083
You know, I feel kind of
sorry for the lieutenant.
229
00:12:57,090 --> 00:13:00,093
I feel somehow that
he doesn't like the army.
230
00:13:00,097 --> 00:13:01,975
That all this was forced on him.
231
00:13:02,017 --> 00:13:03,768
His father was a
graduate of West Point,
232
00:13:03,769 --> 00:13:05,562
as I understand.
233
00:13:05,603 --> 00:13:08,104
Made arrangements for
him to follow in his footsteps.
234
00:13:08,105 --> 00:13:09,901
Had I been born a
boy, I'm sure my father
235
00:13:09,902 --> 00:13:11,653
would have had me do the same.
236
00:13:11,695 --> 00:13:13,739
Instead, he arranged my marriage
237
00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:15,699
to the finest young
lieutenant in the army.
238
00:13:15,752 --> 00:13:17,920
Then your marriage
was your father's idea,
239
00:13:17,921 --> 00:13:19,506
not yours at all?
240
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:21,780
Well, I never would have
considered disobeying my father.
241
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:25,749
Yeah. It's always been my idea
242
00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:28,377
that every person
should have the right
243
00:13:28,419 --> 00:13:30,922
to marry the one they want.
244
00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:33,599
If that's not true in
your case, Mrs. Oliver,
245
00:13:33,641 --> 00:13:35,017
I'm very sorry.
246
00:13:35,073 --> 00:13:36,783
You needn't be.
247
00:13:36,824 --> 00:13:39,745
John, my husband, is a
very kind and good man,
248
00:13:39,825 --> 00:13:41,827
but somehow, I feel...
249
00:13:41,868 --> 00:13:43,495
I wasn't his choice either.
250
00:13:43,537 --> 00:13:46,624
But he never let
me know it or feel it.
251
00:13:46,626 --> 00:13:48,419
And as for love,
252
00:13:48,461 --> 00:13:49,837
well, you never miss
253
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:51,797
what you've never known, do you?
254
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:53,424
No, I supposed you can't.
255
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:54,968
Are you married, Mr. Hardie?
256
00:13:56,155 --> 00:13:57,615
No. No, I'm not.
257
00:13:57,657 --> 00:13:58,737
Have you ever been in love?
258
00:13:59,732 --> 00:14:01,817
Yes, once. A long time ago.
259
00:14:01,818 --> 00:14:03,819
Oh, I'm sorry.
260
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:05,798
I'm afraid I'm being
far too personal
261
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:08,051
and I've told you,
a perfect stranger,
262
00:14:08,093 --> 00:14:10,801
the things I would never
have discussed with a friend.
263
00:14:10,802 --> 00:14:13,136
Sometimes it's easier
to talk to a stranger
264
00:14:13,137 --> 00:14:15,516
than it is to a friend.
265
00:14:15,575 --> 00:14:16,743
Thank you, Mr. Hardie.
266
00:14:16,785 --> 00:14:18,995
You've been very patient.
267
00:14:18,996 --> 00:14:20,247
Somehow I feel
268
00:14:20,288 --> 00:14:22,624
much better about all this now.
269
00:14:22,666 --> 00:14:23,834
Good night.
270
00:14:23,835 --> 00:14:25,003
Good night.
271
00:14:25,041 --> 00:14:27,335
Don't you worry about anything.
272
00:14:27,377 --> 00:14:28,586
It gonna be all right.
273
00:14:28,628 --> 00:14:30,422
She wasn't being foolish.
274
00:14:30,485 --> 00:14:32,363
I know what was
really bothering her...
275
00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:33,823
Lieutenant Kimball.
276
00:14:33,865 --> 00:14:34,886
The man's fear was beginning
277
00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:36,704
to work into all of us,
278
00:14:36,746 --> 00:14:39,540
affecting the
morale of the post.
279
00:15:21,649 --> 00:15:23,318
Thank you, Billy.
A man could lose
280
00:15:23,359 --> 00:15:25,403
his hair around here.
281
00:15:25,449 --> 00:15:27,244
I think they got your sentry.
282
00:15:27,285 --> 00:15:28,912
Take a look.
283
00:15:30,707 --> 00:15:32,101
I think it's probably
just a couple of them
284
00:15:32,125 --> 00:15:33,668
coming in here to
check our strength.
285
00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:37,215
Sure, or else they
plumb loco on firewater.
286
00:15:37,267 --> 00:15:39,082
Ordinarily, a redskin won't risk
287
00:15:39,083 --> 00:15:40,727
missing his way to the
happy hunting ground
288
00:15:40,751 --> 00:15:42,669
by getting killed
in a night attack.
289
00:15:42,711 --> 00:15:44,546
If they knew how weak
290
00:15:44,602 --> 00:15:46,771
we really were and
how few of us there were,
291
00:15:46,772 --> 00:15:49,942
I rather doubt they would
have waited this long.
292
00:15:49,952 --> 00:15:51,204
O'Rourke's dead, Sergeant.
293
00:15:51,245 --> 00:15:52,913
All right. Take care of him.
294
00:15:52,914 --> 00:15:54,995
And tell the rest of the
men to keep their eyes open.
295
00:15:56,363 --> 00:15:58,282
And that lieutenant of ours,
296
00:15:58,323 --> 00:15:59,962
where is he? Asleep.
297
00:15:59,963 --> 00:16:02,132
Even a gunshot
couldn't wake him up,
298
00:16:02,174 --> 00:16:03,550
so I'd better go and report.
299
00:16:03,592 --> 00:16:04,928
If he's asleep, let him.
300
00:16:04,975 --> 00:16:06,142
It's only a short
time until morning
301
00:16:06,143 --> 00:16:07,269
and he's gonna need it.
302
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:08,395
He's the commanding officer
303
00:16:08,436 --> 00:16:09,729
and his place is out here.
304
00:16:09,732 --> 00:16:10,983
And your place is to remember
305
00:16:11,025 --> 00:16:12,693
that you're a sergeant.
306
00:16:16,787 --> 00:16:17,996
Danged if I ain't starting
307
00:16:18,038 --> 00:16:19,206
to get that funny feeling
308
00:16:19,238 --> 00:16:20,656
in my scalp.
309
00:16:20,697 --> 00:16:22,867
It's only a matter of time.
310
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:18,958
Not a sound.
311
00:17:19,001 --> 00:17:20,169
If they were gonna attack,
312
00:17:20,211 --> 00:17:21,754
they'd do it right now.
313
00:17:21,795 --> 00:17:23,422
Right at dawn,
314
00:17:23,464 --> 00:17:26,760
so they could come at us
with the sun at their back.
315
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:29,590
No, I reckon it won't
be for a while yet.
316
00:17:29,653 --> 00:17:31,446
I keep hoping there'd
be a few stragglers
317
00:17:31,488 --> 00:17:35,033
from Major Nesbitt's
party coming,
318
00:17:35,073 --> 00:17:37,534
but I think if there were
any, they'd be here by now.
319
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:38,619
What do you think?
320
00:17:38,661 --> 00:17:40,329
Have we got a chance?
321
00:17:40,337 --> 00:17:41,630
As long as we're alive, Billy,
322
00:17:41,671 --> 00:17:42,839
I don't believe in giving up.
323
00:17:42,881 --> 00:17:46,135
Look Jim, I got to stay here.
324
00:17:46,178 --> 00:17:47,346
I was hired to,
325
00:17:47,387 --> 00:17:48,889
but you ain't.
326
00:17:48,931 --> 00:17:51,219
Why not you and the
woman get in that stagecoach
327
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:52,304
and make a run for it?
328
00:17:52,346 --> 00:17:53,680
Who knows?
329
00:17:53,722 --> 00:17:55,058
You might even get through.
330
00:17:55,087 --> 00:17:56,672
If we left this post right now
331
00:17:56,713 --> 00:17:58,840
without an escort,
332
00:17:58,882 --> 00:18:01,551
it'd be a sure sign it
was undermanned.
333
00:18:01,607 --> 00:18:03,527
No, I believe our best
bet is to stay right here
334
00:18:03,568 --> 00:18:04,987
and wait for the
patrol from Laramie.
335
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,377
All right.
336
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:07,544
We'll just wait together.
337
00:18:09,249 --> 00:18:11,293
Mr. Hardie, the lieutenant
would like to see you.
338
00:18:31,413 --> 00:18:32,454
Come in, Hardie.
339
00:18:32,455 --> 00:18:34,457
Close the door.
340
00:18:35,971 --> 00:18:37,471
You sent for me, Lieutenant?
341
00:18:37,472 --> 00:18:39,516
Yes.
342
00:18:39,556 --> 00:18:41,434
Frankly, Hardie, I need someone
343
00:18:41,475 --> 00:18:43,936
to tell me what to do.
344
00:18:43,978 --> 00:18:46,131
You're right. I know
I'm supposed to know
345
00:18:46,132 --> 00:18:47,883
the books and think for myself
346
00:18:47,925 --> 00:18:50,429
for those men who
look to me for orders,
347
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,816
but my brain's locked tight.
348
00:18:55,523 --> 00:18:57,167
What are the chances
of the supplies holding out
349
00:18:57,191 --> 00:18:58,985
until the patrol gets here?
350
00:18:58,986 --> 00:19:00,612
Not very good.
351
00:19:02,290 --> 00:19:03,767
If there was just some
way to get that patrol in here
352
00:19:03,791 --> 00:19:05,793
ahead of schedule, it'd help.
353
00:19:05,884 --> 00:19:07,553
I wonder.
354
00:19:07,595 --> 00:19:09,847
A messenger. If one
could get through,
355
00:19:09,902 --> 00:19:12,654
they shouldn't
be too far distant.
356
00:19:12,696 --> 00:19:14,907
That's it. We've got
the one man here
357
00:19:14,911 --> 00:19:16,139
who could get through
where nobody else
358
00:19:16,163 --> 00:19:17,665
possibly could. A man who knows
359
00:19:17,707 --> 00:19:20,251
every inch of that
country out there.
360
00:19:22,514 --> 00:19:23,724
Corporal,
361
00:19:23,766 --> 00:19:26,019
ask Billy Welch to report to me.
362
00:19:32,425 --> 00:19:34,154
No hard feelings, soldier boy,
363
00:19:34,155 --> 00:19:37,868
if I check the job you
done on that cinch.
364
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:40,078
Sure, and that's real good.
365
00:19:44,217 --> 00:19:45,635
You understand this is no order.
366
00:19:45,676 --> 00:19:47,637
Don't give it a
thought, Lieutenant.
367
00:19:47,678 --> 00:19:49,845
I was getting kind of
restless cooped up in here.
368
00:19:49,846 --> 00:19:51,765
I'd like to stretch
my legs a mite.
369
00:19:51,806 --> 00:19:54,518
I'll bring that patrol
in. Don't worry.
370
00:19:54,606 --> 00:19:56,191
Hang on to your scalp, Billy.
371
00:19:56,233 --> 00:19:59,486
It's on awful
tight, Jim. Let's go.
372
00:19:59,497 --> 00:20:01,957
Open the gate.
373
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,746
Look.
374
00:20:17,415 --> 00:20:19,417
Close those gates.
375
00:20:29,054 --> 00:20:30,222
Hold your fire.
376
00:20:30,223 --> 00:20:31,891
It's too far!
377
00:20:37,658 --> 00:20:40,286
Well, that's that.
378
00:20:40,383 --> 00:20:44,179
A good man sacrificed
for a fool idea.
379
00:20:44,186 --> 00:20:45,455
There's nothing
wrong with the idea.
380
00:20:45,479 --> 00:20:47,105
The lieutenant was right.
381
00:20:47,106 --> 00:20:48,274
We've got to get
word to the patrol.
382
00:20:48,275 --> 00:20:49,903
Saddle my horse, Sergeant.
383
00:20:49,904 --> 00:20:51,738
They won't look
for a second try,
384
00:20:51,739 --> 00:20:54,033
not after what we just saw.
385
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,161
Our only chance is to
send out someone else
386
00:20:56,162 --> 00:20:57,330
at once.
387
00:20:57,331 --> 00:20:58,707
You may be right, sir.
388
00:20:58,749 --> 00:20:59,955
I'll call for a volunteer.
389
00:20:59,956 --> 00:21:02,292
No volunteer, Sergeant.
390
00:21:02,333 --> 00:21:04,210
I'm going myself.
391
00:21:04,304 --> 00:21:06,891
You sir? Get my horse.
392
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:12,069
And you call him a coward.
393
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:14,156
He'll back out.
394
00:21:29,256 --> 00:21:30,298
Do you really
expect to get through
395
00:21:30,299 --> 00:21:32,050
where Billy Welch failed?
396
00:21:32,092 --> 00:21:34,846
I expect to do what I can.
397
00:21:34,884 --> 00:21:36,927
Don't think I'm not scared.
398
00:21:36,969 --> 00:21:39,138
I'm scared to death.
399
00:21:43,908 --> 00:21:46,160
What have you've done
to him? Look after him.
400
00:21:46,190 --> 00:21:48,024
Your horse
is ready, Lieutenant.
401
00:21:48,025 --> 00:21:49,360
What's this all about?
402
00:21:49,383 --> 00:21:50,694
There's been a change
in plans, Sergeant.
403
00:21:50,718 --> 00:21:51,987
The lieutenant's gonna stay here
404
00:21:52,011 --> 00:21:53,179
and I'm gonna go
out over the wall.
405
00:21:53,180 --> 00:21:54,556
Have you lost your mind?
406
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,034
Another rider wouldn't
have any more chance
407
00:21:56,058 --> 00:21:57,518
than Billy Welch did,
408
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,770
but a man on foot might
make it without being seen.
409
00:21:59,775 --> 00:22:01,044
Hardie, you can't
possibly make it
410
00:22:01,068 --> 00:22:02,654
to Fort Laramie without a horse.
411
00:22:02,695 --> 00:22:04,323
The Apaches have got
horses. I plan on picking up
412
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,451
one of theirs.
413
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:07,659
He'll be killed.
414
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:10,413
Well, it's his own choosing.
415
00:22:16,174 --> 00:22:17,735
All right, you men
keep your rifles ready
416
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:20,555
so you can give him
covering fire if he needs it.
417
00:23:54,674 --> 00:23:56,967
We were in
luck, and in time.
418
00:23:57,009 --> 00:23:58,969
The Apache could have
taken Fort Anderson
419
00:23:59,011 --> 00:24:00,969
with little trouble,
but they never knew it.
420
00:24:00,970 --> 00:24:03,472
And so they lost their
chance to cut the stage road
421
00:24:03,473 --> 00:24:05,433
and maybe win a major war.
422
00:24:05,484 --> 00:24:07,985
I delivered my payroll to
Fort Laramie by horseback
423
00:24:07,986 --> 00:24:09,822
and returned to get Mrs. Oliver.
424
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:16,872
We won't be going on to
Fort Laramie, Mrs. Oliver.
425
00:24:16,914 --> 00:24:18,207
I'm afraid I've got... I know.
426
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,998
They buried my
husband two weeks ago.
427
00:24:20,999 --> 00:24:23,168
I'll be going back
with you, Mr. Hardie.
428
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,714
I'm sorry, ma'am.
429
00:24:32,334 --> 00:24:35,504
Hardie, thanks a lot.
430
00:24:40,048 --> 00:24:41,841
All right, driver.
431
00:24:41,883 --> 00:24:43,176
Giddy-up, now.
432
00:24:43,218 --> 00:24:44,302
I was pleased to find
433
00:24:44,356 --> 00:24:45,691
a new feeling there,
434
00:24:45,732 --> 00:24:47,485
a new spirit among the troops.
435
00:24:47,527 --> 00:24:49,278
And above all,
436
00:24:49,318 --> 00:24:50,860
I was glad to learn
that I'd guessed right
437
00:24:50,861 --> 00:24:53,197
about Lieutenant Kimball.30371
