Waterhole down there.

Go on ahead.

Water.

Yeah.

Get off your horse.

I wouldn't if I were you, Trenner.

You get about one swing and then I put a
hole in you big as a saucer plate.

I told you, you got the wrong man.

Now, I never killed anybody.

And I've never been to Junction City.

Look, Trenner, let's understand each
other. You're a nice fella.

But you ever try that again, I just will
kill you as I look at you.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

A man can get killed walking up soft
like that.

You wouldn't kill an officer of the law,
would you?

No, sir.

Well, the water hole's all yours. Sorry.
I didn't come for the water.

I came for the prisoner, Randall.

I'm the one that sent you that wanted
circular on him.

Oh. Well, what's his name?

Daniel Trunner.

What's he wanted for?

Murder in my town.

And you?

Howard Catlett.

Sheriff, Junction City.

Something bothering you, Trenner?

Where did we meet?

You'll remember.

Well, you owe me $400, Sheriff.

Plus room and lodging for three days,
$23.

$423 total.

$423?

I'm afraid I'll have to owe that to you.

Get on your horse, Brenner. I don't get
this. You will. Put your hands behind

your head and turn around.

If you take that belt off, one hand.

Something to remember me by.

Ooh. Hey, uh, can you put me on my side?

Remember?

Randall. Get up.

Twice in one day.

I must be slipping.

Get up.

Now, hold on a minute.

Let me get myself together.

How did you ever manage to stay alive
all these years, Randall?

Yeah. You got the key to those
handcuffs?

Why don't you just give me my $423 and
give me my gun and I'll forget all about

this and I'll get on out of here, huh?

As long as you're here, you might as
well stay.

All right, trainer, why don't you just
tell me what this is all about, hmm?

I don't know.

He didn't tell me anything.

All right, Catlett.

Now, what is this all about?

You'll find out at sundown.

Yes, of course. Now I remember.

Private Atkins.

Sergeant Langley.

Private Griffith.

That mean?

Catlett.

Private Catlett.

Well, of course.

Well, it's been a long time.

It's been six years since we've all been
together, Lieutenant.

Six years.

Well, Randall, perhaps I'd better
explain.

Yeah. See, I was a lieutenant, 3rd
Infantry, Minnesota.

This is obviously some sort of a joke or
a prank.

See, my men are obviously giving me some
kind of a surprise reunion. Isn't that

it? Yes, a reunion.

There, you see?

Well, believe me, no one could be more
surprised than I am.

Sergeant Langley, it's good to see you.

Forget it, Randall.

Sit down, Lieutenant.

court is now in session. It is convened
to set straight the official army record

by finally bringing the trial to
Lieutenant Daniel Trenner.

On the morning of 14th October 1863, a
detachment of the 3rd Infantry

under the command of the accused, was
ambushed by Confederate troops.

While subjected to withering crossfire,
the accused, willfully and concerned

only with his own personal safety,
abandoned his command.

What? The accused, Lieutenant Daniel
Trenner, is charged with desertion.

No!

Trial judge advocate, Private Howard
Catlett.

Private Catlett, proceed.

Oh, come on, Catlett.

No remarks from the spectator.

Fine. I'd just as soon go right now, if
it's all right with you.

Uh -uh.

You're going to stay right here.

Well, it seems to me this trial's a
little bit one -sided, isn't it? You've

a judge and a prosecuting attorney.
What's old Trenner got?

The accused being entitled to counsel,
the court appoints Josh Randall.

The defense will be given one hour to
prepare its case. This court is in

Fair enough, Randall?

I'm no lawyer, Kent, and you knew that.

You are now.

Yes, sir.

The courts now in session.

Don't let him get to you.

How does the accused plead?

How does your client plead, Mr. Randall?

He says he didn't do it.

And you're entering a plea of not
guilty.

I suppose so.

Trial judge certificate.

Start the examination.

Your name?

Daniel Fennett. Your rank?

Captain, U .S. Army Reserve.

Your rank as of 14 October, 1863.

Lieutenant, second class.

On that morning, you were in command of
a detachment of the 3rd Infantry,

Minnesota. Is that correct?

You know it is.

Just answer the questions.

I was in command.

How many men were you commanding?

We left Johnson and Phillips at
Vicksburg.

Ten. Do you recall the exact position of
your command on the morning in

question? I do.

Describe it.

We were moving through a small valley
when suddenly we were ambushed by the

enemy from a ridge above.

And what did you do?

After making sure my men had taken
cover, I did the same.

This was your first field command?

Yes. As a matter of fact, your first
battle experience.

That's right.

And you were a little upset, nervous?

No more than any other man would have
been. Much more. You were scared yellow.

You were worried about your own
miserable hide.

I was not.

You took an oath as an officer of the
United States Army, and in the first

of battle, you broke it. I did not!

You saw a chance to sneak out alive.

Five of your men were killed, the rest
wounded.

Five of us ended up in the hospital.

Five of us alive, but we'll never be the
same again.

None of it mattered to you.

Just as long as you saved yourself.

That's not true. You got out.

And to protect yourself, you gave them
your version at headquarters.

I told them the truth at headquarters.
You lied!

You're lying now!

I am not lying!

They gave you a medal.

They even promoted you.

For bravery above and beyond the line of
duty.

And now we're going to set the record
straight.

You are facing a charge of which you are
guilty.

Desertion under fire.

I did not desert.

We all saw you run that morning,
Lieutenant.

All of us here.

Well, if he did run, it seemed to me he
wouldn't give him a chance to explain

why.

Your witness.

Yeah, well, you say there were only five
men that got out of that ambush alive,

right? Yes.

These four and one other.

And one of the fellas' name was Nelson?

Corporal Frank Nelson.

When the shooting started, you and him
took cover?

Yes, behind a boulder.

But he was with you, huh?

Yes. And you had a little talk?

That's right.

Well, seeing as you're the only one who
was there, why don't you tell these

people here what you were talking about?

could see our position was impossible.

There was one chance in a million of
getting through to the rear for help.

Now, I couldn't expect Corporal Nelson
to take that chance, or any other man in

my detachment.

So I decided to try it myself.

But before I left, I told Corporal
Nelson to advise Sergeant Langley here

action.

And then I made a run for it.

I got back to camp, and immediately a
relief column was dispatched.

But the accused did not return with that
column.

There he is.

That very morning, orders had come
through transferring me to General

army. Defenses proved nothing.

More of Trenner's alibis.

We spent six years trying to catch up
with him.

Those six years aren't going to be
wasted.

We all saw what he did that morning.

He's guilty.

That's a fact.

Maybe what he told Nelson was a fact,
too.

It's only his words.

Unsupported.

Well, besides Turner, there's only one
man that knows what was said there.

Corporal Nelson.

Yes.

And why isn't Nelson here?

Call from Nelson.

Nelson, tell them what happened.

Nelson!

You were there. Nelson.

He's been that way ever. ever since the
morning you deserted us, Captain.

Prosecution rests.

Does the defense have anything...

Accused is found guilty as charged.

Sentence will be imposed at dawn.

It's the sentence of this court,
Trenner, that you'll be given a second

Same one you had on the morning 14th,
October 63.

To run for your life under fire.

You'll walk into the yard there. You'll
stop. The shot will be fired overhead.

That'll be the signal for you to run.

Maybe you can make it to your horse and
get away alive again.

Turn around Turn around and walk

What's the matter, Trenner?

You afraid to run now?

You weren't afraid six years ago.

I tell you, I'm not guilty!

You heard what I said.

Start running.

Put the guns down. I'll take the
bumper's head off, I swear.

Quick!

And the pistols.

With your fingertips, friend.

Okay,

Captain.

All right, Trenner, get on your horse
and get out.

Out, Trenner!

Out! No, they just keep looking for me.

But I'm not going to spend the rest of
my life hiding.

Now, look.

I wasn't guilty six years ago, and I'm
not guilty now.

Look, I believe you, but this is no time
for discussion. Now get out of here.

But that's not enough.

You see, they've got to believe me too.

So put your gun away, Randall.

Go ahead, let them do what you want.

Drop it, please.

All right.

Come on, I'm not running.

I'm not guilty.

I'm going to stand right here until you
make up your minds.

You spent six years hating me, huh?

Well, you wasted six years.

We're finished here.

Let's get Nelson.

You owe me $423.

And I want McDuck.

$423. $3.
