And now, "Colt .45"

A Warner Bros. television production.

Colt !

Colonel, you can't mean
that order.

- What's that ?
- Evacuating the fort.

Captain Colt, my speech
is precise, and I don't believe

it requires analysis,
or interpretation.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Why ?

I was looking for my father.

And just who is your father ?

My name is Honora.

My father is Sergeant O'Hickey.

Would you like me
to help you find him ?

- No.
- No ?

I know where he is.

I came to see you.

The sentry told me
you were young and handsome.

You see, I've been planning
to marry Major Parker.

When I'm a little older.

But you're younger
and taller too.

I think we'd better find
your wagon.

May I escort you.

'Prepare to mount.'

'Mount !'

'Forward ho !'

I said on the double, Colt.
Get in here.

Search party just got back.
Tell him what you found.

Lt. May, Sgt. Harris and all
eight other men are dead.

They apparently
ran into an ambush.

- Comanche's ?
- Yes, small war party.

And be reporting our position
to Red Eagle.

So we're changing
our route of march.

Now, look here.

We move out at dawn, turn south,
Over the old Bridger Trail.

We'll stay on it all the way.

There are women and children
in our party.

So we can't be too careful.

But, colonel,
I've been over that trail

we wouldn't stand a chance.

What do you mean ?
We won't see one comanche.

We won't see any water either.

I thought you knew that trail,
Colt.

It crosses the Copper River.

- Right there.
- That's right.

But there's no water
in that river, colonel.

I crossed the Copper last year
at this time

later, there was over
a foot deep.

But last year
there was more rain.

That's enough, captain.

Well, anymore discussion,
gentlemen ?

No ? I'm sure
we all have work to do.

I dismissed you, Colt.

I'd like a moment longer, sir.

Alright, speak your piece.

Without being insubordinate, Sir.

I'd like to repeat,
that river is dry.

Are you telling me
how to run my command ?

No, sir.

But you'd turn north

and risk a massacre ?

It's better to risk a fight,
then to risk no water.

Aren't you risking a charge
of insubordination ?

I asked you a question.

There's no insubordination
intended, sir.

But you think
I'm making a mistake.

Yes, sir.

And you also think, you're more
fitted for my command than I am.

Answer me.

Colonel, I don't know why you

commandeered my services,
or why...

'Answer my question.'

I'm waiting.

The question is
of a personal nature, sir.

I'm not required to answer.

I'm ordering you to answer.

- You refuse ?
- Yes, sir.

Sergeant O'Hickey.

Captain Colt is under arrest.
Take his gun-belt.

That won't be necessary,
sergeant.

Corporal, we'd like to have
a word with your prisoner.

Morning, gentlemen.
Visiting day ?

- Morning, sir.
- Morning, captain.

Morning, captain, we,
we just came to tell you

that we're sorry about
what happened last night.

And in everyone's opinion

you had a right to do
just what you did

Well, unfortunately
the only opinion that counts

in the army troop
is the commanding officers.

We feel, sir, that maybe this
situation is an exception.

An exception ?

Did you ever read the reports
of the slaughter

at Fort Herron last year

Colonel Bealey was there.

'One of six survivors.'

'Out of 300 men.'

What he's trying to say,
captain, is..

Well, the whole company will
stand behind you

I don't think you'd better
finish that, lieutenant.

I don't know
what you men had in mind

but it could get
all three of you shot.

Well, what difference
does it make ?

We'll all be dead anyway if
Bealey has his way.

This is a military unit,
not a debating society.

Not all military, sir.

There's civilians too.

That's why we're talking
like this.

Discipline and regulations
of the United States Army

are more important than this
column, civilians included.

Sorry, sergeant, but that's
the way we have to see it.

Now, let's all forget
this ever came up.

Get ready to move out.

Column, halt !

Who gave the order to stop ?

- Well, I did, sir.
- Well, get started again.

We got to get to that river.

If you think you can find it.

If there was water in it, sir,
you'd be swimming.

Map ! Map ! Orderly, somebody,
bring me my map !

There's no two ways about it.

Our only chance is try to get
through the McKay Trail.

McKay Trail ?

That's just what
they expect us to do.

They'll be there waiting.

We're going to continue
our route as planned.

- But, sir, we can't take a ch...
- You heard me.

A six day march without water ?

I don't care if it's six weeks.

We're not going to give
the comanches

another slaughter to celebrate.

Break out the emergency water
ration.

There's enough for a half
a canteen per man.

We move out in fifteen minutes.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

And now, back to "Colt .45."

Half a canteen for a six day
march. I don't believe it.

Red Eagle's got him so scared

he'd try to march us
all the way to Mexico

Before he'd risk a fight.

Major Parker ?

Can he reason with the colonel ?

What, old rule book ?

If Bealey ordered him
to march us all off a cliff

he wouldn't bat an eye.

Captain Colt, you're the only one

that can save those civilians.

'If it was the army
making a six day march, well'

well, a few of us could make it.

But most of them won't.

Corporal !

I'm returning the captain's gun.

Who returned the prisoners
weapons ?

I did, sir.

Lt. Roberts, I placed
Capt. Colt's under arrest

for gross insubordination.

Were you unaware of that order ?

Answer me !

Colonel, we came to ask you
to lead the column

through McKay Trail.

McKay ?

Get back to your post.

Sir, it's murder
to try anything else.

Are you questioning my orders ?

Yes, sir, I have too.

They're wrong and everyone
in this command knows it.

You're all under arrest.
All of you.

Throw down your weapons.

Have you all gone crazy ?

Major, put these men
under arrest.

Robert, see that the column
is in order.

We'll move out
whenever you're ready.

Yes, sir.

Stay where you are.
That's an order.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll take this, colonel.

I know how you feel, sir

but a man has to do
what he thinks is right.

Until he puts on a uniform.

Then he does what he's ordered.

If an army started to make
exceptions to that rule

it wouldn't last two days.

Don't look from any help
from me, Colt.

Well, at least take your gun
and tell the boys...

- "'Captain Colt !"
- Halt !

Captain Colt !

Up there on the hill.

Circle the wagons !

Circle the wagons !
Circle the wagons !

On the double !
Circle the wagons !

Where's the colonel ?

He's back there in the wagon.

Colonel.

Colonel, I brought you a weapon.

Looks bad.

They'll be back.

Maybe not, until tomorrow

You got any suggestions, captain ?

Well, we have to get the
civilians out of here

and hide them somewhere
after dark.

Then maybe we can cook up
a surprise or two for tomorrow.

Them Indians ain't stupid.

They'll see there's no civilians
around.

I don't think so.

Sergeant, what size dress
do you wear ?

A 42.

Dress !

Captain Colt.

Good evening, Honora.

Is it true
what the men are saying ?

What are they saying ?

That when we..

That if we get to Fort McKay

my father, you and the others
will be court-martialed.

That Major Parker will be a
witness against you.

That you'll be shot.

It isn't true, is it ?

- I'm afraid it is.
- But why ?

Now that's a question
that's hard to answer.

But you did what you had to do.

It was right.

Honora, we are soldiers
and what we did was wrong

according to the book.

'Honora.'

The woman are getting ready
to move out.

You'll have to leave now.

"Sergeant, get
the woman and children'

'into the first two wagons.'

'First two wagons. Move out.'

- Where's the howitzer ?
- Last wagon.

If you ask me,
it won't do us any good there.

Have you ever heard
of a mobile cannon ?

- Mobile ? No.
- You will.

You better take this, colonel.

Here they come.

Get back, colonel.

I think it's about that time,
lieutenant.

Move out ! Move out the wagons.

Let them have the howitzer.

Red Eagle.

They won't be bothering us
anymore.

And now,
all we got to worry about

is a firing squad at Fort McKay.

And now, back to "Colt .45."

I'm returning your command, sir.

Sure you know what you're doing ?

Yes, sir.

I hope you understand
this gesture

won't make things
any easier for you.

Now, do you still want
to turn over command ?

- Yes, sir.
- Alright.

Consider yourselves under arrest
until we reach Fort McKay.

Get back to your post.

Major, I'd like to get
something straight.

You're the only man in the troop
who wasn't behind Captain Colt

when he took over command.

There isn't a man here
that wouldn't have marched

through that desert
till he dropped.

It was only him.

But there are ladies in this
wagon training kids

they're alive now,
because four men

decided to disobey an order.

We're moving out, sergeant.

Garrison from Fort Wilderness
reporting, sir.

And who are you, sir ?

Major Parker, sir.
Ranking officer in charge.

Where is Colonel Bealey ?

We ran into Red Eagle
on the McKay Trail.

Colonel was killed
in defense of his command.

He was a fine officer.

Anything else to report ?

No, sir. Nothing else
of importance.

Well, come inside, major.

We have a full report
on Red Eagle's attack

Yes, sir.

Captain Colt, dismiss your men.

Yes, sir.

Company, attention !
