Anybody don't give them food and money,

You said it's Blanchard?

- Blanchard the Butcher.

Everybody knows him.

- Him and his men.

His own troop of cavalry.

The same men that served him during the war.

- And they're headed to Mexico?

- They got to meet a train first.

- A train?

- A train, I don't know why.

- Please, thy friend needs rest.

- Ode, that's your name?

What the hell kind of name is that, Ode?

- The name my daddy give me.

- [Toby] Well, what's it mean?

- It means Ode, what else do it have to me?

- Ain't you got a last name?

My mom was Comanche.

I never had no need for no last name.

- Who's Colonel Blanchard?

- Colonel Blanchard is General Hook's second in command.

- General who?

- General Marcus Hook.

Living in Mexico with some 100 people

of the former Southern aristocracy.

He has promised them a restoration of the Confederacy.

- I suppose it could happen.

- Over my dead body.

- Blanchard makes occasional expeditions north

for finances and slaves.

- Slaves?

- That's where they were taking Ode, to be a slave.

- In his Mexican fort, General Hook keeps many blacks,

slaves, just as before the war.

I must return to thy friend.

Some rest, some nourishment.

He will quickly be good as new.

(Tobe sighs)

- Jesus, slaves!

- I wonder if the black man ever will be free.

Marcellus!

(footsteps tapping)

(cow mooing) What you doing over there?

- I told 'em me and you were old friends.

(Tobe laughs)

- Well, ain't we?

(both laughing) (cow mooing)

- You know there was a time

anybody said they was your friend,

bang, it's the end.

- Well, there's an important lesson in that boy, Toby,

a very important lesson.

(cow mooing) (chickens clucking)

There are black men still in slavery

and I'm saying we gotta help 'em.

- We're saying we don't want no trouble.

We are free now we wanna live to enjoy it.

- Those slaves in Mexico,

what the hell are they enjoying?

- You talk good Mr, Nigger Charley.

But there's plenty of talk about you with that gun

and how you do so much killing with it.

Well, we don't want to kill

and we don't want to be killed.

We want to be left alone to live.

- Is that how you feel?

- He feels how I tell him to.

- But mom, that ain't- - Hush up!

- How long you been a Smitty, Jason?

- Near about as long as I can remember.

- I used to be a Smitty.

The man who owned me promised to make me free when he died.

But that promise wasn't kept.

So Toby and me, we ran,

all the way from Virginia

and we had to keep running to stay free.

Sometimes we had to kill.

So, now we are free.

Well, that ain't so.

We ain't free and ain't none of us ever gonna be free

as long as there's a single black

man that's still a slave.

- You got to listen to Charley.

No

No, they don't.

They got to do what they think is right.

- [Woman] Ma, there's somebody coming!

(footsteps tapping) (cow mooing)

- Come a long way?

- We heard some of our people were here.

- You folks look tied, come, have some supper.

- These yours?

- Mine.

- You want our life stories before we eat or can it wait?

- Lady's got quite a temper.

- She's quite a woman.

(footsteps tapping)

- Have a seat.

(plate taps)

- I'm Lee Travis.

- Lee, that's my name.

_ TobY- _ TobY-

- Fred. - Fred.

- What's the lady's name?

- The lady's name is Elena.

- [Ma] You can talk later.

Right now you need some food ancl a night's sleep.

- Ain't nobody gonna sleep tonight.

That's what we came to tell you.

They're only a few hours away.

- Who's a few hours away?

- Three hours, no longer.

We'll be in out of that holy roller settlement

in three hours.

- Colonel, that train comes in the railhead

sundown, clay after tomorrow.

- Plenty of times, Sergeant.

Plenty of time.

Well hell, Collins will never forgive us

if we didn't pay those Quakers a visit.

Right, Collins?

- It's the General who wouldn't forgive you, sir.

He wants all the niggers we could get.

- Live niggers, Collins, live niggers.

(hooves clopping)

- That's what I'm talking about.

You gotta defend yourselves.

- I do not believe men will harm those who do them no harm.

- 1o miles from here,

there's a town that didn't do them no harm.

There ain't a person alive there.

- In any case, our religion forbids us taking up arms.

- How about staying alive?

Your religion forbid that too?

- Even if we wish to take up arms, we have none.

- Then use knives, rocks, anything.

- We help you.

- God protects our people.

- I'm glad he protects your people,

'cause he sure don't do too good a job with ours.

(cow mooing) (chickens clucking)

- God's gonna protect them.

But this new freedom of yours,

look like you going to have to fight to keep it.

- What do we fight with?

Our bare hands?

- I got a rifle, anybody know how to use it?

- I know how.

We gotta fight, mom.

It's the only way.

- Charley and me, that's two extra rifles,

that makes five.

- I know how to shoot. - Me too.

- Shovels.

Round up some shovels, Tobe.

(cow mooing)

- Shovels?

Charley, you sure it's all worth it,

just to be free niggers?

(upbeat dramatic music)

(shovel crunching)

(upbeat dramatic music)

(shovels crunching) (pickaxe grating)

- Soak it down good, boys,

(liquid tricking)

Let's move the tools out.

What do you think, Tobe?

Think it's gonna work?

- [Toby] I swear for God hope so.

- Alright, let's get some more hay in this hole.

I think it's gonna work, Toby,

Lee, we need those extra rifles in your saddle.

Take the loft. - All right.

Abraham, you take behind the well,

Ashton, you get the roof.

- It's about 100 miles.

- Charley, you're not thinking

what I think you're thinking.

Charley, not only do Blanchard have 1O times

as many men as we do, but maybe a half a clay start.

Maybe 40 miles.

- Yeah, that's right, Toby, on the trail.

- Well, how else we gonna get there, fly?

over the hills in a straight line to Silver Rock.

- How far is the water tower from Silver Rock?

- N0 more than about 30 miles.

30 miles.

So, if we leave at daybreak,

we can reach the water tower just about time the train does.

- Over the hills?

— [Charley] Right.

- You know how high them hills are?

- We're gonna buy some slaves, Toby.

We going to buy Hook's slaves with his own money.

- Oh Jesus!

- Now, look, here's the plan.

The water tower is 30 miles from Silver Rock.

Now, we meet the train at the water tower.

We take the gold,

Now, we're gonna need some help.

Not for long.

Lee's not even cold in the ground yet.

And here I am in another man's arms.

(footsteps crunching)

- I understand.

- No, you don't understand.

I didn't love Lee.

(melancholic music)

Before the war, I worked in the house.

You know what it means when a good looking woman

is a house nigger?

And the master sure do like them good looking women

and his friends too.

After the war, I lived in New Orleans,

you do anything to stay alive and I did it all, all of it.

Then I met Lee.

All I wanted was to be somebody, to belong.

I thought out here a person could have a second chance.

Make a fresh start.

(melancholic music)

Lee quit the army for me,

he deserted.

He knew I didn't love him

and it didn't matter.

- He was a good man.

He was there when you needed him.

- Yeah.

My next man, I have to love him.

- I hope you will.

- I will.

Until General Hook's wishes are complied with.

(Charley sighs)

But the first, let's talk.

(footsteps crunching)

Las Casas.

A fortress guarded by at least 1oo experienced soldiers.

You're crazy, Charley.

What gold?

- We got 'em, General Hook, sir.

Every goddamn last one of 'em.

(soft ethereal music continues)

- When Ode gets into position, we're coming from the rear.

We take the front, we get Hook,

we march right outta the front gate.

- COITIE on crew, come on.

- Hold your fire, son.

Hold your fire.

Nine of them,

kid S.

old men.

I talk big talk,

big, high and mighty talk.

"We're all free," I said,

we gotta give those poor bastards the same chance.

No, no, it's not my fault. (sobs)

Look how it turned out, hmm?

They get killed.

I come back.

How you figure that, huh?

- Thank God you did come back.

I am glad you alive.

- You thank God I'm alive? (cries)

Who the hell is God?

You think if He was any good he'd let nine poor dumb niggers

get butchered?

Don't you know that God is a goddamn white man?

(Charley whimpers)

(mirror shatters)

(men speak in Spanish) (Charley knocks)

(footsteps crunching)

- Hey, join us.

- We're going back to Las Casas.

(man speaks in Spanish)

- We need your help, Sandoval.

- With your man, we could attack Las Casas.

We'd stand a chance.

(man speaks in Spanish)

- Las Casas is your fight.

- He's right.

We got no quarrel over there.

The gringos of Las Casas, they leave us alone,

we leave 'em alone.

- We'll hire you.

We pay you in gold.

$100,000.

- 100,000?

(man cheers)

- It's true then.

You did steal Hook's gold.

- We requisitioned it.

- Where is it?

- We can have it here by sundown.

(goats bleats) (chickens clucking)

- Senores, Las Casas has just become our quarrel.

(all laughing)

- "To everything, there is a season

and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die.

A time to plant.

A time to pluck up that which is planted.

A time to kill ancl a time to heal.

A time to break down and a time to build up.

A time to weep and a time to laugh.

A time to mourn, and time to dance.

A time to cast away stones

and a time to gather stones together.

A time to embrace

and a time to refrain from embracing.

A time to get and time to lose.

A time to keep, and time to cast away.

A time to rend and a time to sow.

A time to keep silent and a time to speak.

A time to love and a time to hate.

A time of war ancl a time of peace.

What profit hath he that worketh

in that wherein he laboureth?

I have seen the travail,

which God hath given to the sons of men

to be exercised in it.

He hath made everything beautiful in his time,

also he hath set the world in their heart,

so that no man can find out the work

that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

I know that there is no good in them,

but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his |ife."

- Amen. - Amen.

(men speak in Spanish) (footsteps tapping)

- Come back.

- I will.

- Alright then, Pedro will lead the first attack

and draw the troopers into the ambush.

You see my friend?

So simple.

- Nothing like money to make everything simple.

- Fred, you ride with Pedro.

I'll go with Sandoval.
