[Dramatic instrumental music]
2
00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:03,290
Okay, Marina Raskova,
3
00:00:03,325 --> 00:00:05,091
she starts an all-female squadron
4
00:00:05,155 --> 00:00:08,358
the Night Witches,
who are like "Let's fight 'em."
5
00:00:08,444 --> 00:00:11,489
These ladies are the
first women in combat ever.
6
00:00:11,489 --> 00:00:13,014
Nostrovia!
7
00:00:13,049 --> 00:00:14,667
It's the Civil War.
8
00:00:14,736 --> 00:00:17,788
We are going to hijack
a Confederate train.
9
00:00:17,897 --> 00:00:22,096
Oh, here we go, we
are going to catch them.
10
00:00:22,098 --> 00:00:24,899
Yeah, I realized halfway
through that that I didn't even
11
00:00:24,901 --> 00:00:27,795
know why I was talking.
[Laughter]
12
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:30,650
[Title music]
13
00:00:34,655 --> 00:00:37,682
14
00:00:39,204 --> 00:00:41,802
[Dramatic military music] _
15
00:00:41,804 --> 00:00:44,754
- Do you want me to launch it?
- Yeah.
16
00:00:44,908 --> 00:00:47,408
[Whirring]
17
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:50,212
Holy shit.
[Laughter]
18
00:00:50,213 --> 00:00:53,914
Oh shit.
19
00:00:53,916 --> 00:00:58,285
- That plane... that plane is gone.
- So quickly.
20
00:00:58,287 --> 00:01:00,087
But it looked majestic.
21
00:01:00,089 --> 00:01:02,289
Hello.
[Chuckles]
22
00:01:02,291 --> 00:01:04,718
Hi there.
Hi.
23
00:01:04,790 --> 00:01:08,529
I'm Jess McKenna and we are
going to be talking about
24
00:01:08,531 --> 00:01:11,465
- the Night Witches.
- Cheers.
25
00:01:11,467 --> 00:01:12,300
Cheers.
26
00:01:12,301 --> 00:01:13,134
[Clink]
27
00:01:13,135 --> 00:01:14,835
Let's do it.
28
00:01:14,837 --> 00:01:17,238
Okay, it's 1941.
29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,206
World War II is a goin'.
30
00:01:19,208 --> 00:01:21,807
It's back, it's better than
ever, it's bigger than ever,
31
00:01:21,896 --> 00:01:23,596
it's worse than ever.
32
00:01:23,713 --> 00:01:27,147
The Soviet Union was taking like
really big losses because the
33
00:01:27,149 --> 00:01:30,579
Nazis are already bang-bang-
banging on the Eastern front.
34
00:01:30,621 --> 00:01:33,454
Enter Marina Raskova.
35
00:01:33,456 --> 00:01:36,594
And she's like,
"Hello, I'm Marina Raskova.
36
00:01:36,659 --> 00:01:39,693
I'm going to fly in the Soviet
Union or I'm not going to fly.
37
00:01:39,695 --> 00:01:41,529
I'm going to be a navigator."
38
00:01:41,531 --> 00:01:44,431
So Marina is like,
"Hey, here's where you go,
39
00:01:44,433 --> 00:01:47,635
here's where you turn, here's
how you fly, blah blah."
40
00:01:47,637 --> 00:01:51,166
She's sort of the Amelia
Earhart of the Soviet Union.
41
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:54,687
So ladies start writing her
letters and they are like,
42
00:01:54,722 --> 00:01:57,030
"Marina, we love you.
43
00:01:57,095 --> 00:01:59,480
We love what you stand for and
also we want to be you."
44
00:01:59,482 --> 00:02:02,149
Because they are losing their
dads, their stepdads,
45
00:02:02,151 --> 00:02:03,552
their fathers, their brothers.
46
00:02:03,553 --> 00:02:07,341
Anyone with a penis has
to go fight, no women. [laughs]
47
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:10,591
They are like want to be a part
of the solution and they can't.
48
00:02:10,593 --> 00:02:14,094
And she's like, "I'm already in
here. I already got a foot in
49
00:02:14,096 --> 00:02:16,463
the door. Let me like
let a bunch of more
50
00:02:16,464 --> 00:02:18,830
women in so that we can
help the war effort."
51
00:02:18,831 --> 00:02:21,955
So she goes to Joseph
Stalin who is a bad guy.
52
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:24,104
Like, he's a straight-up
bad guy. He's a dictator.
53
00:02:24,106 --> 00:02:26,556
Like, I don't want to like not
talk about how he's a dictator
54
00:02:26,642 --> 00:02:30,296
but in this scenario he's a good
guy for like one second.
55
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:34,131
So Marina's like, "Stalin,
will you do me a solid and let
56
00:02:34,231 --> 00:02:38,918
me start an all-female
unit of the Air Force?
57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,717
How about that?"
58
00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:46,323
And Stalin's like, "Hmm, the Red
Army is not doing good so, yeah,
59
00:02:46,394 --> 00:02:50,577
I'm going to use this untapped
resource of ladies."
60
00:02:51,067 --> 00:02:52,367
So hold for plane.
61
00:02:52,368 --> 00:02:54,352
[Plane engine humming]
Look out.
62
00:02:54,506 --> 00:02:57,291
Holding for this plane.
[Singing] Planes planes planes,
63
00:02:57,326 --> 00:03:00,743
they are part of the
narrative of this story.
64
00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:03,911
Planes planes planes,
everybody is in a plane.
65
00:03:03,913 --> 00:03:05,423
[Chuckling]
66
00:03:05,505 --> 00:03:10,001
Okay, Stalin's like, "You can
form some all-female units."
67
00:03:10,094 --> 00:03:13,213
She gets 2000 applicants.
68
00:03:13,248 --> 00:03:17,608
So Marina's like, "Okay, we
got amazing women but we got
69
00:03:17,609 --> 00:03:20,887
two who are just like, hey,
you're friggin' standouts, okay."
70
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:22,875
We got Tamara, she's like,
71
00:03:22,922 --> 00:03:26,592
"Hey, I'm Tamara Pamya...
Pamyatnyk."
72
00:03:26,705 --> 00:03:28,510
Oh, dang it.
[Laughter]
73
00:03:28,591 --> 00:03:32,176
I'm pretty drunk.
[Laughs] It's so hard.
74
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:35,280
And I feel so bad because
like it's not hard.
75
00:03:35,384 --> 00:03:38,379
Okay, "Tamara Pamyatnykh,
76
00:03:38,381 --> 00:03:40,792
that's my name and
that's how you say it. "
77
00:03:40,827 --> 00:03:44,637
And then we got Raisa
Sur-na-chevskaya.
78
00:03:44,672 --> 00:03:45,839
Okay, so Marina, she's like,
79
00:03:45,874 --> 00:03:50,659
"Hello, welcome to the
Engels School of Aviation.
80
00:03:50,694 --> 00:03:54,363
Okay, and also, now normally
what takes like a dude
81
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:57,680
several years you are going
to do in a couple months."
82
00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,267
And they're like,
"Alright, that's okay."
83
00:04:00,269 --> 00:04:04,313
And then if that wasn't enough,
because that would definitely be
84
00:04:04,348 --> 00:04:07,775
enough, that would definitely be
enough to be like, holy shit,
85
00:04:07,777 --> 00:04:12,713
this is like a cool-ass story,
their planes are shit.
86
00:04:12,715 --> 00:04:18,436
Both: Their planes are shit.
Their planes are shit.
87
00:04:18,471 --> 00:04:19,454
Okay, so their planes are
88
00:04:19,455 --> 00:04:22,690
from the 1920s and they're crop dusters.
89
00:04:22,692 --> 00:04:25,571
They are made of like basically
like plywood and canvas.
90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,548
They have no cockpit protection.
91
00:04:27,583 --> 00:04:29,523
People are like,
"Are we going to be okay?"
92
00:04:29,606 --> 00:04:32,172
And they are just like,
"We'll do it anyway.
93
00:04:32,267 --> 00:04:34,871
We got this because we care."
94
00:04:34,999 --> 00:04:37,259
And because they are so...
95
00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:41,308
these planes are so shitty
they can't have no extra weight.
96
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:43,677
That actually means things that
you'd think like, oh,
97
00:04:43,679 --> 00:04:49,144
- I definitely need like radar, radio, parachute...
- Too heavy.
98
00:04:49,179 --> 00:04:51,585
Derek: Parachute?
How is that too heavy?
99
00:04:51,587 --> 00:04:52,835
I don't know.
[Derek chuckles]
100
00:04:52,906 --> 00:04:56,770
Instead they have to do all
their flying using like
101
00:04:56,805 --> 00:05:00,087
old-school compasses and
flashlights and pencils and rulers
102
00:05:00,132 --> 00:05:04,771
and flashlights and just like
a grab bag of second-grade,
103
00:05:04,843 --> 00:05:07,367
you know, school supplies.
104
00:05:07,369 --> 00:05:08,826
[Sighs]
105
00:05:08,827 --> 00:05:11,805
I'm really starting to feel it
all now. Hey.
106
00:05:11,807 --> 00:05:13,868
Hey, everyone.
107
00:05:14,074 --> 00:05:17,613
Okay, so...
108
00:05:17,811 --> 00:05:20,050
Okay, so Marina, she's like,
109
00:05:20,085 --> 00:05:22,868
"Okay, ladies, you're
going to fly a bunch of missions
110
00:05:22,869 --> 00:05:25,001
a night and it's going
to be stealth mode.
111
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:28,017
That's the only way to do it."
So because they can't carry
112
00:05:28,037 --> 00:05:30,964
weight, they can only
carry two bombs at a time,
113
00:05:31,042 --> 00:05:34,932
one under each wing.
So they fly in and they bomb
114
00:05:35,019 --> 00:05:36,865
these two bombs and then they fly back.
115
00:05:36,898 --> 00:05:39,410
Safety, not safe, safety,
116
00:05:39,411 --> 00:05:41,922
Nazis, definitely not safe.
117
00:05:42,023 --> 00:05:44,872
And they do that like 18 times
a night and because of their
118
00:05:44,874 --> 00:05:47,107
weight restrictions they
have to fly really low.
119
00:05:47,109 --> 00:05:49,777
And when they get to like where
they're going to drop a bomb
120
00:05:49,779 --> 00:05:53,956
they put their plane into
idle and then whoosh in
121
00:05:53,991 --> 00:05:55,082
and drop their bombs.
122
00:05:55,084 --> 00:05:58,519
The Nazis call them
"the Nachthexen."
123
00:05:58,521 --> 00:06:02,774
- Derek: Not Texans.
- No, they are not Texans!
124
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:06,890
They are Nachthexens,
which is Night Witches.
125
00:06:06,925 --> 00:06:09,070
Look it up in a book.
I didn't make it up.
126
00:06:09,103 --> 00:06:11,865
Okay, so the Nazis were so
afraid of these ladies
127
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:17,458
you automatically get the highest
award in the Nazi army...
128
00:06:17,493 --> 00:06:21,891
you automatically get the Iron
Cross if they shot one down.
129
00:06:22,042 --> 00:06:27,044
Oh, also, they can return fire,
so in modern warfare these
130
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,586
ladies are the first
women in combat ever.
131
00:06:30,587 --> 00:06:32,056
Hold for plane.
132
00:06:32,642 --> 00:06:34,642
Hey, plane!
133
00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:38,813
Both: Stay tuned for more
Drunk History...
134
00:06:38,884 --> 00:06:42,434
Behind Enemy Lines.
135
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:45,081
[Smashing window]
[Meows]
136
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:49,796
- Oh.
- Oh, cheers.
137
00:06:49,845 --> 00:06:52,252
Nostrovia!
138
00:06:52,254 --> 00:06:56,574
Okay, so, let's cut to 1943.
Tamara and Raisa,
139
00:06:56,575 --> 00:07:00,894
they are just scoping
out train tracks, real
140
00:07:00,896 --> 00:07:03,920
low-level like scout shit.
141
00:07:03,955 --> 00:07:07,321
- All of a sudden they are surrounded by
- 42 Nazi bombers!
142
00:07:07,356 --> 00:07:10,408
- Derek: What?
- 42 Nazi bombers.
143
00:07:10,443 --> 00:07:15,642
And they are like, "Oh my gosh
there are Nazis everywhere.
144
00:07:15,681 --> 00:07:18,290
Everywhere I looked there are Nazis.
145
00:07:18,291 --> 00:07:20,900
I can't turn around
without seeing a Nazi."
146
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:24,186
So they are like,
"Okay, this is the deal."
147
00:07:24,186 --> 00:07:31,704
In a crazy twist of events going
slow actually is the way to go.
148
00:07:31,731 --> 00:07:35,429
Because even at their maximum
149
00:07:35,431 --> 00:07:37,205
speed, Tamara and Raisa are like...
150
00:07:37,232 --> 00:07:39,076
[Humming]
151
00:07:39,103 --> 00:07:42,220
But the Nazis are like...
pew-pew-pew-pew.
152
00:07:42,322 --> 00:07:47,940
The Nazis literally cannot go
slow enough to get them.
153
00:07:47,975 --> 00:07:53,890
If they try to go as slow as their
plane they fall out of the sky.
154
00:07:54,091 --> 00:07:56,734
That's how aerodynamics works.
[Laughter]
155
00:07:56,967 --> 00:07:59,488
So they are shooting at them.
156
00:07:59,523 --> 00:08:03,681
So they have like taken out
a few Germans and it is working.
157
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:07,528
"Becept" Tamara is like,
"I'm out of ammo.
158
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,972
I'm going to just ram my plane.
159
00:08:09,973 --> 00:08:13,768
I got to take them down.
I got to do it." [Hiccup]
160
00:08:13,769 --> 00:08:17,551
And Raisa's like, "I would do it
too but I'm pregnant.
161
00:08:17,586 --> 00:08:20,246
I'm four months pregnant.
I got to chill out."
162
00:08:20,281 --> 00:08:22,674
- Derek: Whoa.
- Yeah, it's crazy.
163
00:08:22,709 --> 00:08:24,835
So Tamara gets close up where
164
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:28,306
she can see the fear
in the Nazi guy's eyes.
165
00:08:28,306 --> 00:08:30,210
The Nazi guys like,
[German accent] "What is this?
166
00:08:30,245 --> 00:08:33,453
I'm about to die."
That's a really good Nazi accent.
167
00:08:33,455 --> 00:08:37,357
And she's like right there but
she gets gunned down.
168
00:08:37,359 --> 00:08:40,819
But for some reason, some miracle,
169
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:43,263
she had a parachute that day.
170
00:08:43,265 --> 00:08:45,799
And she like flutters down in
this Russian village.
171
00:08:45,801 --> 00:08:50,117
So Tamara went back to
base and she went back up.
172
00:08:50,152 --> 00:08:53,760
Tamara and Raisa are like,
"Let's fight them."
173
00:08:53,779 --> 00:08:58,355
And the Nazis flipping retreat.
It's freaking huge.
174
00:08:58,447 --> 00:09:03,016
And they... they like achieve
what we could never imagine.
175
00:09:03,018 --> 00:09:07,021
All told they flew 30,000 missions,
[Music]
176
00:09:07,022 --> 00:09:11,024
dropped like 23,000 tons of bombs.
177
00:09:11,026 --> 00:09:12,859
So the Soviet Union is like,
178
00:09:12,861 --> 00:09:17,564
"Here is this award
for the highest honour,
179
00:09:17,565 --> 00:09:23,057
the Order of the Red Star
in the Soviet Union military.
180
00:09:23,092 --> 00:09:28,606
You did it. We give it to
you because you are so great."
181
00:09:28,641 --> 00:09:29,776
They are like the most highly
182
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:33,946
decorated unit in all of Soviet
Union military history.
183
00:09:33,948 --> 00:09:38,384
And the woman who started it all,
Marina Raskova, she was
184
00:09:38,386 --> 00:09:42,788
sent to the front lines in 1943
and she died in battle and she
185
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:45,741
received the first state
funeral of World War II.
186
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:47,451
And her ashes are still in the Kremlin.
187
00:09:47,501 --> 00:09:50,680
So even though they are our frenemies
188
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:53,023
sometimes the Russians do cool shit.
189
00:09:53,117 --> 00:09:56,453
These women did so much.
190
00:09:56,568 --> 00:10:02,093
I play puzzles all day and look
at Twitter. [Derek chuckling]
191
00:10:04,352 --> 00:10:07,920
- Cheers to you.
- Cheers.
192
00:10:09,206 --> 00:10:10,306
[Thud]
193
00:10:10,307 --> 00:10:13,552
- Ooh.
- Right here we are playing DRUNK.
194
00:10:13,657 --> 00:10:15,734
We are playing DRUNK
instead of HORSE.
195
00:10:15,777 --> 00:10:17,220
- You got...
- You should also know I'm a terrible at
196
00:10:17,221 --> 00:10:20,949
basketball so I shoot it like
a soccer throw-in.
197
00:10:20,988 --> 00:10:23,826
You have to use one
hand to shoot it. Okay?
198
00:10:23,895 --> 00:10:25,595
Sounds Good.
I'll take the N now.
199
00:10:26,994 --> 00:10:28,757
[Thudding]
[Whack]
200
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:30,824
Oh shit.
Have you ever been called
201
00:10:30,911 --> 00:10:33,661
surprisingly athletic before?
[Laughter]
202
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,961
- No.
- Alright.
203
00:10:36,776 --> 00:10:38,565
[Laughter]
[Clatter]
204
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,770
Hi. I'm Jon Gabrus
and thank you for
205
00:10:41,772 --> 00:10:45,605
talking to me about
Andrew's Rangers.
206
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:47,985
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
207
00:10:48,542 --> 00:10:52,351
So it's the Civil War.
208
00:10:52,386 --> 00:10:55,619
A Union General Ormsby Mitchel
pulls aside
209
00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:58,873
this scout/smuggler and says,
210
00:10:58,874 --> 00:11:02,126
"Bro, I'm about to attack
Huntsville, Alabama."
211
00:11:02,128 --> 00:11:04,828
I need you to cut off
backup supplies.
212
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:08,640
So James J. Andrews, he says,
213
00:11:08,713 --> 00:11:10,413
"Hey, I'll do this.
I'm a smuggler.
214
00:11:10,464 --> 00:11:12,880
All right, gang, here's what I need.
215
00:11:12,932 --> 00:11:16,006
I need 22 vol..."
Volumeers.
216
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:20,095
"22 volunteers, we're going
behind enemy lines.
217
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,606
We are going to hijack a
Confederate train and smash
218
00:11:23,607 --> 00:11:26,933
up the tracks and cut
telegraph wires and prevent
219
00:11:26,935 --> 00:11:30,437
any backup from getting
to where the battles are.
220
00:11:30,439 --> 00:11:33,907
I want three people who
know how to use a train.
221
00:11:33,909 --> 00:11:36,551
I'm already ready to burp and shit."
222
00:11:36,586 --> 00:11:38,710
And he burped.
[Belching]
223
00:11:40,163 --> 00:11:41,348
Excuse me.
224
00:11:41,349 --> 00:11:43,616
Andrews grabs his crew of
like 22 dudes and he's like,
225
00:11:43,618 --> 00:11:47,104
"We have to get there by
April 11th though because
226
00:11:47,105 --> 00:11:50,590
that's when the attack is
happening on Huntsville.
227
00:11:50,592 --> 00:11:55,762
Also, no tools. Nothing that
makes us stand out. Let's ride."
228
00:11:55,864 --> 00:11:59,599
So, Andrews raiders are
travelling hundreds of miles
229
00:11:59,601 --> 00:12:02,101
through the southern territory
230
00:12:02,103 --> 00:12:05,027
when they get to Marietta, Georgia.
231
00:12:05,069 --> 00:12:09,967
And Andrews is like "Let's just
get on this train, act like civilians."
232
00:12:10,048 --> 00:12:13,478
And so they get on what Buster
Keaton would eventually
233
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:16,812
title The Great Locomotive Chase.
234
00:12:17,018 --> 00:12:20,734
- I thought it was called The General.
- You're right. [Laughs]
235
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:24,529
Andrews is like
"Welcome to The General."
236
00:12:24,564 --> 00:12:25,538
[Blows whistle]
237
00:12:25,539 --> 00:12:28,194
Oh, a...
That's pretty exciting.
238
00:12:28,196 --> 00:12:29,896
[Blows whistle]
239
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:31,931
They get to the first stop.
240
00:12:31,933 --> 00:12:36,469
William Fuller, the conductor of
The General is like "All right,
241
00:12:36,471 --> 00:12:39,472
ladies and gentlemen,
here we are at Big Shanty.
242
00:12:39,474 --> 00:12:42,473
Let's all grab some breakfast
and lunch.
243
00:12:42,555 --> 00:12:44,612
One of the raiders, let's say
244
00:12:44,647 --> 00:12:48,234
raider number nine is going
"surprise-surprise."
245
00:12:48,269 --> 00:12:51,915
A town called Big Shanty
doesn't have a telegraph.
246
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:55,042
So they knew they would have a little
bit of time ahead of the Confederates.
247
00:12:55,121 --> 00:12:57,982
Andrews turns to his guys,
"All right, Fuller's eating
248
00:12:58,001 --> 00:13:01,029
eggs Benny. Guys, let's
get on a couple of trains
249
00:13:01,079 --> 00:13:02,949
and let's get the F out of here."
250
00:13:03,129 --> 00:13:05,483
And they are off.
251
00:13:05,537 --> 00:13:08,968
That's like the perfect movie
situation where the bad guy goes
252
00:13:09,178 --> 00:13:12,485
[Stammering] "I say... I say...
I say... I say... boy!
253
00:13:12,643 --> 00:13:15,167
I think our train's been stolen."
254
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:20,287
Fuller is literally T-1000 after
them on foot.
255
00:13:20,369 --> 00:13:22,906
And they jump on handcart, let's go.
256
00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:25,461
Pump it.
Up, down, up, down, up, down.
257
00:13:25,512 --> 00:13:27,846
- Left, right...
- Left, right, A, B.
258
00:13:27,941 --> 00:13:30,373
Select start.
30 lives, Contra.
259
00:13:30,416 --> 00:13:31,991
It's... [Laughing]
260
00:13:31,992 --> 00:13:35,338
So Andrews and his boys, they
get to the next town, they get
261
00:13:35,433 --> 00:13:40,244
to Moon Station and they go,
"Hey, Moon Station railroad
262
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,694
workers, we are just normal
railroad workers.
263
00:13:42,779 --> 00:13:46,220
Can we borrow a tool of any sort?"
264
00:13:46,281 --> 00:13:48,846
They get a pry bar at this moment.
265
00:13:48,905 --> 00:13:52,534
The get the toolest chunks to pry bar,
266
00:13:53,291 --> 00:13:55,297
I don't know the back
half of that.
267
00:13:55,332 --> 00:14:00,273
[Laughs]
Analogy ready but... you can follow it.
268
00:14:00,319 --> 00:14:01,414
[Laughs]
269
00:14:01,415 --> 00:14:03,225
These guys are using pry bar,
270
00:14:03,255 --> 00:14:06,962
the one tool they have for
a lot of good.
271
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:09,879
They're ripping up the truck
behind them, bring the wood
272
00:14:09,914 --> 00:14:12,768
on board with them so they can
later throw that on as traps.
273
00:14:12,825 --> 00:14:14,841
And they are powering North.
274
00:14:14,842 --> 00:14:16,185
Hit me with the whistle.
275
00:14:16,241 --> 00:14:17,305
[Blows whistle]
276
00:14:17,306 --> 00:14:19,730
These guys are on as stolen
train but because they
277
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:23,018
want to be inconspicuate-
[Gibberish]
278
00:14:23,166 --> 00:14:24,702
You know, because they wanted to be
279
00:14:24,703 --> 00:14:28,629
inconspicuous, they
can't arouse any suspicion.
280
00:14:28,742 --> 00:14:30,934
So they are playing it cool.
They're acting natural.
281
00:14:31,054 --> 00:14:33,111
We are at normal locomotive.
282
00:14:33,177 --> 00:14:34,483
[Blows whistle]
283
00:14:34,484 --> 00:14:36,184
That was just me turning out.
284
00:14:36,319 --> 00:14:38,019
[Laughing]
285
00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:40,416
To do some light
demolition work, you know,
286
00:14:40,417 --> 00:14:42,592
knocking out some
telegraphs, and they
287
00:14:42,771 --> 00:14:46,022
pass a train called The Yonah
which isn't moving
288
00:14:46,082 --> 00:14:49,179
currently and they should
maybe do something to it.
289
00:14:49,204 --> 00:14:51,788
But at this point they're
more concerned with
290
00:14:51,789 --> 00:14:54,373
getting caught than
with doing anything else.
291
00:14:54,375 --> 00:14:56,997
So they just leave it be which may
292
00:14:56,998 --> 00:14:59,620
prove to be detrimental to their plan.
293
00:14:59,855 --> 00:15:01,614
So Fuller and his boys are
chasing and they're
294
00:15:01,616 --> 00:15:04,378
pumping away and they're
pumping all the way and
295
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:07,579
of course they see the Yonah,
so Fuller and his boys
296
00:15:07,628 --> 00:15:10,522
are running and just screaming
"This is amazing!
297
00:15:10,524 --> 00:15:13,659
We don't have to pump anymore!
We don't have to pump anymore!"
298
00:15:13,661 --> 00:15:16,535
And I mean, I'm sure that's the
conversation. I don't know.
299
00:15:16,593 --> 00:15:18,293
I've never been on a train in which
300
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:21,076
I was imperative to the train moving.
301
00:15:21,114 --> 00:15:22,458
[Burps, belching]
302
00:15:22,459 --> 00:15:23,794
[Laughing]
303
00:15:23,795 --> 00:15:25,495
[Belching]
304
00:15:25,795 --> 00:15:27,710
Wow.
[Whistle blows]
305
00:15:27,746 --> 00:15:29,575
What the f... was I saying?
306
00:15:29,577 --> 00:15:33,064
Oh! So, Fuller and his boys
started coming up
307
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:35,089
and they're like "Oh, shit!
You've got to be kidding me!
308
00:15:35,124 --> 00:15:37,717
A traffic jam!"
They see another train called
309
00:15:37,718 --> 00:15:40,753
The Smith ahead of the traffic
block, and they sprint
310
00:15:40,755 --> 00:15:42,318
ahead to the track... To The Smith.
311
00:15:42,319 --> 00:15:44,419
They get on The Smith and
they're like, "Yes, dude!
312
00:15:44,421 --> 00:15:46,820
Now we're on The Smith.
Now we're cruising!"
313
00:15:46,876 --> 00:15:50,492
So the General is powering
through but The Smith is getting
314
00:15:50,494 --> 00:15:53,491
closer so Andrews, they're...
they're pow...
315
00:15:53,526 --> 00:15:54,931
Now they're getting a
little scared because they can
316
00:15:54,932 --> 00:15:57,566
- hear the whistle of The Smith.
- A whistle?
317
00:15:57,568 --> 00:16:00,602
Uh, yeah, they can hear the whistle
of The Smith which sounds like...
318
00:16:00,604 --> 00:16:03,518
[Blows whistle]
[Chuckles]
319
00:16:03,553 --> 00:16:05,857
It's super low and just
kind of quick. Do a little.
320
00:16:05,876 --> 00:16:06,845
[Whistle toots]
321
00:16:06,846 --> 00:16:10,630
So, uh, The General keeps
powering through.
322
00:16:10,682 --> 00:16:13,560
Another train's going the
other way, The Texas.
323
00:16:13,675 --> 00:16:17,912
They find themselves in a situation
where they're like, let The Texas pass.
324
00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:20,131
The Texas goes the other way.
325
00:16:20,209 --> 00:16:25,613
So... [Unclear]
Smith's on the tracks.
326
00:16:25,676 --> 00:16:27,376
[Laughter]
327
00:16:27,624 --> 00:16:30,114
Oh my God, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
328
00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:34,051
So Fuller and his boys see
that the tracks ahead of them
329
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:37,037
are smashed and they
pull the brakes to halt.
330
00:16:37,131 --> 00:16:41,310
So they jump into their third train
331
00:16:41,312 --> 00:16:44,172
but their fifth mode of
transportation.
332
00:16:44,245 --> 00:16:46,979
They jump into a train
called The Texas.
333
00:16:47,023 --> 00:16:49,152
Pro: very fast train.
334
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:53,348
Con: facing the other way
on the tracks.
335
00:16:53,488 --> 00:16:57,993
I mean... [Laughs]
I just too said I mean.
336
00:16:57,995 --> 00:16:59,495
[Laughs]
337
00:16:59,568 --> 00:17:03,703
Are you familiar with
George Clooney's Casamigos?
338
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,925
- Yeah.
- Hey, su casa es mi casa, Clooney.
339
00:17:07,989 --> 00:17:10,683
I'm hammered.
[Laughter]
340
00:17:13,284 --> 00:17:17,025
This is all imperative to
the shoot, trust me.
341
00:17:17,827 --> 00:17:21,396
And we're finished one bottle
342
00:17:21,398 --> 00:17:25,800
of tequila, minus one
shot to our host Derek.
343
00:17:25,802 --> 00:17:28,036
[Laughs]
344
00:17:28,038 --> 00:17:30,520
Oh. Awesome.
345
00:17:30,555 --> 00:17:33,441
This is a terrible idea.
[Laughs]
346
00:17:33,531 --> 00:17:35,743
[Music]
347
00:17:35,943 --> 00:17:40,907
So here we are, the third act
of our climactic action sequence.
348
00:17:41,056 --> 00:17:44,371
We're in the heart of it all
yet didn't make like...
349
00:17:44,429 --> 00:17:46,923
were talking
about like train cars coming
350
00:17:46,958 --> 00:17:50,386
from the north. But we're
having the most beautiful
351
00:17:50,421 --> 00:17:53,550
train rides, the most
beautiful... and here we are,
352
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,286
having a fucking train ride.
353
00:17:57,959 --> 00:18:00,949
I realized halfway through
that that I didn't even know
354
00:18:00,984 --> 00:18:02,785
why I was talking about that.
355
00:18:02,791 --> 00:18:04,473
[Laughs]
356
00:18:04,474 --> 00:18:07,942
Now I know I'm drunk
because I'm incorrect.
357
00:18:07,944 --> 00:18:12,614
- You're doing so good, buddy.
- Uh... Here we are.
358
00:18:13,572 --> 00:18:17,169
Sorry.
[Laughter]
359
00:18:17,611 --> 00:18:22,722
So Fuller and his boys are
going, "Oh, here we go.
360
00:18:22,751 --> 00:18:25,125
We're gonna catch 'em."
361
00:18:25,278 --> 00:18:28,079
The General sees that they're
getting caught up on.
362
00:18:28,102 --> 00:18:30,487
So Andrews start throwing
out ideas.
363
00:18:30,574 --> 00:18:32,274
He's like, "Bro, we gotta
do something.
364
00:18:32,291 --> 00:18:36,035
Let's uh... uncouple
a couple of our boxcars.
365
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:38,053
Release the train cars."
366
00:18:38,088 --> 00:18:40,107
And everyone's going,
"Good plan, boss."
367
00:18:40,109 --> 00:18:42,929
So they pull the little thing...
[Burps]
368
00:18:42,964 --> 00:18:46,071
Jesus Christ.
It's going to be a long night.
369
00:18:46,365 --> 00:18:51,352
Um, so they release a few train
cars to just fall behind them
370
00:18:51,434 --> 00:18:55,480
and The Texas is able to, since
they're driving backwards,
371
00:18:55,551 --> 00:18:59,775
just add those train cars
to its path. [Laughs]
372
00:18:59,984 --> 00:19:03,995
And here's where it gets really
crazy; The General starts...
373
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:07,810
as much as I'm running out
of steam telling this story,
374
00:19:07,845 --> 00:19:10,304
The General actually runs out of steam
375
00:19:10,306 --> 00:19:11,773
and they need to add power.
376
00:19:11,774 --> 00:19:14,409
They're running out of coal.
They can't keep the fire...
377
00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:17,382
you know they're all
putting stuff in the back.
378
00:19:17,461 --> 00:19:19,747
They start burning papers, hats.
379
00:19:19,749 --> 00:19:22,562
They throw Andrews' saddlebags
in, they throw everything,
380
00:19:22,623 --> 00:19:24,612
and it's not enough.
381
00:19:24,666 --> 00:19:28,771
The train runs out of gas. So...
382
00:19:28,848 --> 00:19:30,392
[Groans]
383
00:19:30,393 --> 00:19:32,193
Andrew and his Raiders is like,
384
00:19:32,195 --> 00:19:36,097
"Boys, this is the end of the
ride, 87 miles in."
385
00:19:36,210 --> 00:19:40,369
So our boys get caught and
they are court-martialed.
386
00:19:40,455 --> 00:19:44,099
Andrews is that the gallows,
noose around his neck going,
387
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,406
"Well, that plan backfired.
I guess I'm getting hung now."
388
00:19:48,525 --> 00:19:53,259
Andrews and seven of his
compatriots are hung.
389
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:58,318
Six Raiders go back to the
Union Army on a prisoner exchange.
390
00:19:58,653 --> 00:20:01,642
Joseph M. Holt, the Advocate General
391
00:20:01,643 --> 00:20:06,126
of the U.S. Army says to these guys,
"I'm going to give you guys
392
00:20:06,128 --> 00:20:08,596
the first-ever medal of honour."
393
00:20:08,598 --> 00:20:10,537
I love this story.
394
00:20:10,561 --> 00:20:14,593
I wish more people knew
how crazy the Civil War was,
395
00:20:14,695 --> 00:20:18,676
besides how
crazy the Civil War was.
396
00:20:18,711 --> 00:20:21,932
Yeah, no, I get it.
I'm not standing on a fucking
397
00:20:21,997 --> 00:20:26,068
lone island saying that
the Civil War was nuts,
398
00:20:26,186 --> 00:20:30,652
but the Civil War is nuts,
if you consider all the shit
399
00:20:30,687 --> 00:20:34,422
we've dealt with
and all the shit we're gonna deal with.
400
00:20:34,485 --> 00:20:35,894
[Horn toots]
401
00:20:35,895 --> 00:20:39,075
