1
00:00:02,470 --> 00:00:29,560

2
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,800
The Custer massacre is the most 
controversial of history, 

3
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,220
because even today what really 
it happened 

4
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:38,400
remains a mystery. 

5
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:42,000
US Army Records 
about the battle of Custer 

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,760
indicate that there were 225 casualties among officers 
and 

7
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,880
soldiers, no survivors. 

8
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:53,940
But the dead had barely been 
buried 

9
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:56,960
when several 

10
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,700
men who claimed to have survived the 
disaster. 

11
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:03,099
Almost all of his stories have been

12
00:01:03,099 --> 00:01:05,660
denied as a hoax or a lie. 

13
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,680
But there are some that have never 

14
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,340
been refuted. 

15
00:01:10,260 --> 00:01:11,820
This is one of those stories. 

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,460
And it begins in 1874, 20 months before 

17
00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:19,460
civil greed for gold will send the 
Lieutenant Colonel Custer 

18
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:22,540
and the 7th Cavalry Regiment to the 
destruction in 

19
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:23,120
Little Bighorn. 

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,220
But the dragon seeds of death 
they were planted 

21
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:30,060
in a secret meeting in an office 

22
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:31,300
more than half a continent away. 

23
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:40,730
Nuggets of pure gold, Mr. Toland, of the 
Black

24
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:41,090
Hills. 

25
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:43,970
There was buffalo grass mixed with the 

26
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:44,290
dust. 

27
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:46,430
Do you know what that means, Mr. Toland? 

28
00:01:47,130 --> 00:01:48,590
I'm not a miner, senator. 

29
00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:51,370
It means that there is gold down to the roots, 

30
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:52,770
millions to collect. 

31
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:56,630
Now, this thick line marks the 
limit of 

32
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:57,610
the Great Sioux Reservation. 

33
00:01:58,270 --> 00:01:59,130
Here are the Black Hills. 

34
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:01,870
When word spreads about the gold, thousands 

35
00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:03,430
of men will flock to the 

36
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:04,050
Dakota Territory. 

37
00:02:04,650 --> 00:02:06,210
They will need supplies and transportation. 

38
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:09,330
Also the army, because the Sioux and

39
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:10,850
Their Cheyenne cousins ​​will fight. 

40
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:14,650
If you take your railroad to Bismarck, 

41
00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:17,470
I guarantee you will make a fortune. 

42
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:22,990
Senator, my board of directors will never vote 

43
00:02:22,990 --> 00:02:25,950
in favor of financing this company without 
definitive tests 

44
00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:27,890
that there is gold in large quantities. 

45
00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:30,270
You will have that proof, Mr. Toland. 

46
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:33,070
I have put pressure on high places 

47
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:34,890
and very soon the army will be in 

48
00:02:34,890 --> 00:02:35,490
the Black Hills. 

49
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:39,110
Mineralogists and miners will accompany them. 

50
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:41,890
That means breaking the treaty with the 
Sioux.

51
00:02:42,410 --> 00:02:43,670
It is quite a dangerous matter. 

52
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:46,290
It's no problem for the man 
will direct the 

53
00:02:46,290 --> 00:02:48,910
expedition, George Armstrong Custer. 

54
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:51,110
The young general of the Civil War. 

55
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:53,250
The brave and glorious Custer. 

56
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:55,870
The peacetime army demoted him to 
lieutenant 

57
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:56,330
colonel. 

58
00:02:57,150 --> 00:02:59,290
Custer would launch himself headlong into the entire 

59
00:02:59,290 --> 00:03:01,430
Sioux Nation to get a promotion. 

60
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:05,730
And so the curtain rose on one of 

61
00:03:05,730 --> 00:03:10,010
the strangest dramas in the world, a 
American tragedy 

62
00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:12,750
would forever record the names of his
heroic 

63
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,670
protagonists in the pages of the 
history. 

64
00:03:17,070 --> 00:03:19,590
One of them was a civilian explorer from the 
attached army 

65
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:22,290
to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment at Fort 
Laramie, but 

66
00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:24,470
now under orders to join the 7th in 

67
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:25,370
Fort Abraham Lincoln. 

68
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:28,690
In this story, he will be called Cheyenne 

69
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:29,030
Bodie. 

70
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:29,130
Cheyenne. 

71
00:03:42,820 --> 00:04:44,530
Well, 

72
00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:45,970
I thought you were never going to wake up. 

73
00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:48,590

74
00:04:48,590 --> 00:04:49,150
Were you going with a caravan of cars or with 
an errand? 

75
00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:51,410
With a caravan of cars. 

76
00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:55,490
I thought I was lost. 

77
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,230
Then I saw you coming.

78
00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:00,810
It was a beautiful vision. 

79
00:05:04,350 --> 00:05:05,810
you have a wound 

80
00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:07,870
in the stone I put a bandage on you. 

81
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:09,910
But there are no broken bones. 

82
00:05:12,930 --> 00:05:15,570
You are very efficient, sir... 

83
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:16,690
Bodie, ma'am. 

84
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:18,090
Cheyenne Bodie. 

85
00:05:19,050 --> 00:05:20,450
I'm Irene Travers. 

86
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:22,950
I think we better take you 
back to 

87
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:23,590
the caravan 

88
00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:24,750
People will be worried about you. 

89
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:26,730
I'd like to rest a little first. 

90
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:28,890
Do you mind? 

91
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:35,820
Tell me more about Cheyenne Bodie. 

92
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:37,960
There's not much to tell. 

93
00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:39,780
I'm an army scout. 

94
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:42,280
I have orders to appear before him
Colonel Custer 

95
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:43,380
at Fort Abraham Lincoln. 

96
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,840
Excellent. 

97
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,200
My father is a government surveyor and is 
destined in 

98
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,720
Fort Lincoln. 

99
00:05:48,180 --> 00:05:49,580
so 

100
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:49,780
we will see each other a lot. 

101
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,040
Are you married? 

102
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,400
No. 

103
00:05:55,260 --> 00:05:56,080
I'm still searching. 

104
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:08,500
You must be Miss Travers, 
madam. 

105
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:09,260
Yes. 

106
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,580
Major Reno will be very happy to 

107
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:12,360
know that you are safe. 

108
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:14,940
So please tell him 

109
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:17,380
that I'm fine and that Mr. Bodie 
is carrying 

110
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:18,840
Yes, ma'am. 

111
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:27,430
Oh, Commander Reno is just an old man 
friend.

112
00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:31,410
From what I've heard about the commander 
reindeer, 

113
00:06:31,410 --> 00:06:32,170
It's not that old. 

114
00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:43,660
Sergeant, I want a full report on 
the 

115
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:44,440
damage and casualties. 

116
00:06:45,340 --> 00:06:46,820
And give me an estimate of when 

117
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:48,020
We can get these cars out of here. 

118
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:55,410
Irene. 

119
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,840
Oh, you're hurt. 

120
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,820
I'll have a surgeon examine you. 

121
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:03,880
A corporal, commander, a car. 

122
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,220
Oh, that won't be necessary, Mark. 

123
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,280
Mr. Bodie has assured me that I have no 

124
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,100
no broken bones. 

125
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:12,040
Cheyenne killed the two Indians who 

126
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,240
They kidnapped me. 

127
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,960
Oh, uh, Commander Mark Reno, Mr.
Cheyenne Bodie. 

128
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,880
This is the captain... 

129
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,540
I know Cheyenne. 

130
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:21,040
What brings you so far from Fort Laramie? 

131
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:21,700
Hello, Fred. 

132
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,200
I have orders to appear before him 
Colonel Custard. 

133
00:07:24,540 --> 00:07:25,480
That's all I know. 

134
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:27,760
Although I don't understand such a rush. 

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,980
The Sioux are not causing any 
problem. 

136
00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:30,820
The Sioux attacked a wagon train. 

137
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,500
And you say that they are not causing any 
problem? 

138
00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:34,020
It's not the Sioux's fault, Major. 

139
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,500
I know a Sioux when I see one. 

140
00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:40,780
Corporal, are there any dead Indians around here?

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,580
There's a couple out there in the brush. 

142
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:45,800
Let's take a look. 

143
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:47,560
If you'll excuse us. 

144
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480
We wouldn't have all these raids if 
the commissioner 

145
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,940
Brady will stop coddling the Sioux. 

146
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,740
They loot and murder and then 

147
00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:03,200
They run back to the reservation, where the 
army 

148
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,840
can't touch them. 

149
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,560
And where that soft-headed fool gives them 
pats 

150
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,060
on the back. 

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,740
That fool is an old man 

152
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:10,400
my friend 

153
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,920
And, FYI, he's done more for 

154
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,680
maintain peace in the territories 
any other 

155
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,220
white man

156
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,760
An army scout who believes in 
pamper the 

157
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,060
Sioux. 

158
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:20,980
That's noteworthy, Fred. 

159
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,100
Here you are, Major. 

160
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:25,500
Two braids tied with beaver fur. 

161
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,520
He's a Sioux, Bodie. 

162
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Maybe. 

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,360
He is a white man. 

164
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,159
Or a mestizo. 

165
00:08:37,539 --> 00:08:38,460
He's an outlaw, Fred. 

166
00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:41,720
The Indians call him the Gray Man. 

167
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:43,980
I had problems with him in the Platte 

168
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:44,320
last spring. 

169
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,260
They dress like Indians, and then 

170
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:48,360
blames the Indians for their raids. 

171
00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:51,880
Are you satisfied, Major? 

172
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:54,920
Captain Benteen, send a detachment to
check the others 

173
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,240
corpses. 

174
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Yes sir. 

175
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Cape. 

176
00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:01,490
Bodie. 

177
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:05,230
Miss Travers and I thank you 

178
00:09:05,230 --> 00:09:07,890
what you have done, but don't make the mistake of 

179
00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:09,230
abuse their kindness. 

180
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:12,670
I will accept military orders from you, 
older. 

181
00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:15,470
But don't try to control my affairs 
personal. 

182
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:31,910
White men, huh? 

183
00:09:32,170 --> 00:09:33,670
All the corpses we have reviewed 
They were white 

184
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:34,510
or mestizos, colonel. 

185
00:09:34,510 --> 00:09:36,350
However, those who escaped could 
have 

186
00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:36,810
been Sioux. 

187
00:09:37,090 --> 00:09:38,350
And it's very likely that they were, Major. 

188
00:09:41,150 --> 00:09:42,170
Colonel Custer, sir.

189
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:44,950
There's a scout out there named Cheyenne 
Bodie. 

190
00:09:45,130 --> 00:09:45,550
Make it happen. 

191
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:46,130
Yes sir. 

192
00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:48,830
Better keep an eye on this guy, colonel. 

193
00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:50,250
He is a lover 

194
00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:50,970

195
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:53,390
of the Indians. Maybe. General Crook 
He seems to have high regard for him. 

196
00:09:54,670 --> 00:09:56,390
And Crook himself has a weakness for 

197
00:09:56,390 --> 00:09:56,970
the noble redskins. 

198
00:09:59,570 --> 00:10:00,370
I'm Colonel Custer. 

199
00:10:01,930 --> 00:10:03,490
Cheyenne Bodie, civilian scout. 

200
00:10:03,490 --> 00:10:04,650
My orders, colonel. 

201
00:10:13,330 --> 00:10:14,970
I see that you have close ties with the 

202
00:10:14,970 --> 00:10:15,810
southern cheyennes. 

203
00:10:16,890 --> 00:10:17,890
Yes, I have them. 

204
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:20,550
Also that he has been to the Black Hills. 

205
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:22,150
About four or five times.

206
00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:25,150
I went there with Chief Greybull to attend 

207
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:27,430
to the Great Sioux Council at Barabute. 

208
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:28,550
That's very interesting. 

209
00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:31,030
Tell me, Bodie, 

210
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:31,330
What kind of territory is this? 

211
00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:34,670
High hills and plateaus. 

212
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:37,110
Wide valleys and lots of grass. 

213
00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:39,390
A couple of rivers, the Belforche and the 

214
00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:39,650
Rapid. 

215
00:10:40,170 --> 00:10:41,710
Many Sioux scaffolds in the 

216
00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:42,350
lower slopes. 

217
00:10:43,230 --> 00:10:43,990
Yes I know. 

218
00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:45,870
Sacred cemeteries. 

219
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:48,310
Let's go 

220
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:48,510
take a good look at them. 

221
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:50,410
Take this to the assistant. 

222
00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:55,550
Bodie, I understand that you feel true, 

223
00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:56,830
Let's say, affection for the Indians.

224
00:10:57,650 --> 00:11:00,250
I think "respect" would be another word 
suitable, 

225
00:11:00,390 --> 00:11:00,530
colonel. 

226
00:11:01,570 --> 00:11:03,150
When a Sioux makes a promise, 

227
00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:03,970
fulfill it or die trying. 

228
00:11:03,970 --> 00:11:06,350
If we did the same, 

229
00:11:06,350 --> 00:11:07,170
We wouldn't have any problems with the Indians. 

230
00:11:07,630 --> 00:11:08,930
And if I were Indian, I would agree 

231
00:11:08,930 --> 00:11:09,290
with you. 

232
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:10,570
But I'm not. 

233
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:11,050
I am a soldier. 

234
00:11:11,490 --> 00:11:13,090
And for me personally, they only matter 
three things: 

235
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:15,590
the rise, the glory and the country. 

236
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:17,570
Any final orders, colonel? 

237
00:11:19,630 --> 00:11:21,170
I could face a court martial 
yes 

238
00:11:21,170 --> 00:11:21,930
I answer that question.

239
00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:25,890
Alright, Bodie, you'll find the 
garrisoned explorers 

240
00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:26,550
in barracks D. 

241
00:11:27,370 --> 00:11:28,950
Does the colonel want to tell me why? 

242
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:30,690
we are breaking the treaty and entering into 
the 

243
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,210
Black Hills? 

244
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:33,130
I can't answer that 

245
00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:35,710
. They are orders from the Department of 
Interior. 

246
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,560
Are you worried about something, father? 

247
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,380
I think you're making a big mistake, 
Irene, 

248
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:55,980
by treating Mark Reno so badly. 

249
00:11:56,020 --> 00:11:58,140
After all, you are practically 
committed to him. 

250
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,820
He comes from an old family and 
distinguished.

251
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,920
Which means Cheyenne Bodie doesn't. 

252
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,560
I am grateful, of course, but it is 

253
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,600
a civilian scout, consult with the 
Indians, probably have 

254
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,140
a squaw 

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Maybe several, for all you know. 

256
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,820

257
00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:13,400
And you think I can't cope 
competition? 

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,500
Irene, you are incorrigible. 

259
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:19,980
You're going to get a surprise. 

260
00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:29,210
Irene, you have changed a lot. 

261
00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:31,130
I'm glad you noticed it. 

262
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:33,990
Father, this is Cheyenne Bodie. 

263
00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:36,510
Travers. 

264
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:38,630
I don't even want to think about what 

265
00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:40,230
it would have happened to my daughter otherwise

266
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:41,370
you would have arrived on time, sir 
Bodie. 

267
00:12:41,890 --> 00:12:43,330
I'm glad to have been useful, 
sir. 

268
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:44,870
A cigarette? 

269
00:12:45,490 --> 00:12:46,230
No, thanks. 

270
00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:52,210
I guess it will come 

271
00:12:52,210 --> 00:12:53,090
With us to the Black Hills, sir 
Bodie. 

272
00:12:54,970 --> 00:12:57,250
Yes, of course, but 

273
00:12:57,250 --> 00:12:58,130
Did I understand correctly that you said "with 
us"? 

274
00:12:59,030 --> 00:13:00,570
Irene comes with me to the field. 

275
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:03,250
She is a first-class surveyor, she does all 
my 

276
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:03,550
maps. 

277
00:13:04,270 --> 00:13:06,810
I would not advise you to take Irene to 
Black 

278
00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:07,210
Hills. 

279
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:09,210
Do you think the Sioux will cause problems? 

280
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:13,070
Suppose they break the treaty and send

281
00:13:13,070 --> 00:13:14,370
an expedition to Washington. 

282
00:13:14,990 --> 00:13:15,730
What would we do? 

283
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:18,850
But it is only an expedition of 
appreciation, Cheyenne. 

284
00:13:18,930 --> 00:13:20,230
Surely they can't object to that. 

285
00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:21,870
Recognition for what? 

286
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:24,630
To find a place to build a 
strong in case 

287
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:25,630
of future hostilities. 

288
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:27,970
The treaty prohibits the entry of whites 
in the Black 

289
00:13:27,970 --> 00:13:29,130
Hills, Mr. Travers. 

290
00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:33,610
Irene told me that you are an explorer 
civilian of 

291
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:34,790
Army, Mr. Bodie. 

292
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:38,410
Is it a very busy occupation for you? 
satisfactory? 

293
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:40,530
It's not a bad life.

294
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:42,010
I have tried many jobs. 

295
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:43,170
Do you ever think about the future? 

296
00:13:43,710 --> 00:13:44,990
A father is a father. 

297
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:48,050
I think I understand what you mean. 

298
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:50,190
A man cannot continue without ties 
all 

299
00:13:50,190 --> 00:13:50,670
his life. 

300
00:13:51,410 --> 00:13:52,870
In fact, 

301
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:54,250
I have had my eye on a piece of land 

302
00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:55,710
Sun River, near Fort Benton. 

303
00:13:56,290 --> 00:13:57,730
There is plenty of grass and water in abundance. 

304
00:13:58,050 --> 00:14:00,230
With the Longhorns losing, I thought 

305
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:01,770
in saving enough money to buy 
a small 

306
00:14:01,770 --> 00:14:03,710
herd of Herefords and try your luck in 

307
00:14:03,710 --> 00:14:04,070
the livestock. 

308
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:30,960
Well your father told me that Julie knows
something 

309
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,380
more than an old friend. 

310
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:34,660
Have you forgotten? 

311
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,960
Almost completely. 

312
00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:53,660
Well, come on, honey. 

313
00:14:57,460 --> 00:14:58,060
Cheyenne! 

314
00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:59,160
Cheyenne Bodie! 

315
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Wow, what a surprise. 

316
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,260
California Joe, I thought you left the 
army. 

317
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:05,200
Oh, I did. 

318
00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:06,160
I dedicated myself to hunting with traps. 

319
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,260
Well I would have lost my traps and 

320
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:10,020
all winter's fur catch 
crossing the 

321
00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:10,280
Wind River. 

322
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,900
I almost drowned. 

323
00:15:12,420 --> 00:15:14,060
I would have, if Lone Woman didn't 

324
00:15:14,060 --> 00:15:14,660
would have taken me out. 

325
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:17,780
So, back to the army salary. 

326
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,400
Wow, that's tough, Joe.

327
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Lone Woman, you are as beautiful as ever. 

328
00:15:24,740 --> 00:15:27,460

329
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:27,760
Are you going to the Black Hills with Custer? 

330
00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:28,540
Yes. 

331
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,120
I don't like it at all. 

332
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Here is your old friend, the commissioner of 
locomotives. 

333
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:36,000
Brady, are you here? 

334
00:15:36,420 --> 00:15:36,820
Clear. 

335
00:15:37,340 --> 00:15:38,140
It's inside. 

336
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:40,920
Joe, see you later. 

337
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,760
Come on, honey. 

338
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,860
Mr. Brady. 

339
00:15:57,980 --> 00:15:58,440
Cheyenne! 

340
00:15:59,820 --> 00:16:01,560
Sit down, sit down. 

341
00:16:03,180 --> 00:16:04,960
Are you going to the Black Hills with us? 

342
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,740
Well, I tried to join the expedition, 

343
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:10,560
but Colonel Custer says he has 
orders 

344
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,000
that no member of the Office of

345
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,580
Indigenous Affairs can accompany them. 

346
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,200
Now there's not much love between 
Army 

347
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,900
and the Office. 

348
00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:20,380
So it's probably true. 

349
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:27,040

350
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Have you heard the Army's excuse for 
break the treaty? 

351
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Yes. 

352
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,320
Yes, they say they want to find a 

353
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,160
place to build a fort in case the 
sioux 

354
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,500
They cause problems, according to Mr. 
Travers, the 

355
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:36,280
government surveyor. 

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,040
Mr. Travers, in addition to being a surveyor, is a 

357
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,460
excellent mineralogist. 

358
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:45,340

359
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:45,860
Do those men look like surveyors to you? 
Cheyenne?

360
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:51,000
They look more like miners. 

361
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:54,380
There are rumors about the existence of gold in 
the Blacks 

362
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:54,700
Hills. 

363
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,420
If that's what Custer is looking for and 

364
00:16:57,420 --> 00:17:00,180
finds it, the whites will come in 
mass, the 

365
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:03,520
treaty will be broken and 

366
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:03,920
will produce a massacre. 

367
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Is there anything I can do, Mr. Brady? 

368
00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:10,079
If you discover that the expedition is looking for gold 

369
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:12,660
and can you inform me 

370
00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:15,440
quickly, I will telegraph it to all 

371
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,940
important newspapers and I will expose all the 
corrupt plan, including 

372
00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:22,720
its main architect, Senator Conrad.

373
00:17:23,740 --> 00:17:25,160
Do you think you can do it? 

374
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,400
Well, of course, I'm in the army, 
sir 

375
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Brady, in charge of the scholarship. 

376
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,020
Oh yes. 

377
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,800
I forgot. 

378
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,340
Wait a moment. 

379
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,760
California Jewel has taken his wife 
Indian with him. 

380
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,760
She could leave the camp without 
no one noticed and 

381
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,480
bring a message 

382
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:43,000
You need to make sure it does. 

383
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,500
Thousands of lives depend on it. 

384
00:17:53,570 --> 00:17:55,590
August 4, 1874. 

385
00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:58,930
Custer's expedition crossed the river 
Belforce and 

386
00:17:58,930 --> 00:17:59,910
entered the Black Hills. 

387
00:18:00,930 --> 00:18:03,670
The Treaty of Laramie was broken with the
Sioux. 

388
00:18:05,410 --> 00:18:07,150
The die was cast. 

389
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:24,970
Indian slayer Custer leads the 
Private Coates. 

390
00:18:55,060 --> 00:18:56,400
Have you seen any Sioux yet, boy? 

391
00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:58,860
We haven't seen any Sioux, colonel, 
but they 

392
00:18:58,860 --> 00:18:59,520
They have seen us. 

393
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:13,460
Good balance, 

394
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,360
corporal. 

395
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:18,300
What is this, pictographic writing? 

396
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:22,260
Those three horsemen are supposed to 
They represent soldiers. 

397
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,460
The fact that they are upside down means 
that are 

398
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:25,800
dead. 

399
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,760
It is the way that the Sioux have of 
tell us that 

400
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,340
let's turn around.

401
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,260
That's what Bode would want you to do, 

402
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:32,560
colonel. 

403
00:19:33,580 --> 00:19:35,200
He has a certain predilection for Indians. 

404
00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:37,460
It caused me a lot of problems in 

405
00:19:37,460 --> 00:19:39,700
my river bridge trading post 
Platte last fall. 

406
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,500
You brought your own problems on yourself. 

407
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:43,680
His factor left his hand in the 

408
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,700
scale when measuring the rations of the 
Indians. 

409
00:19:46,980 --> 00:19:48,560
They caught him and cut off his hand. 

410
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:49,740
That's enough. 

411
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,400
There will be no fighting on this expedition. 

412
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:54,960
Corporal, take the buffalo skull too. 

413
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,440
It will be an interesting memory for me. 
library.

414
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:00,100

415
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,680
Do you think this is a gold-bearing area? 
Mr. Travers? 

416
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:05,200
It's a little early to tell, colonel. 

417
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:08,580
The gold that India carried 

418
00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:11,580
to Brad Caldwell's trading post in the 
White River was alluvial gold, 

419
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:12,760
which is usually found at higher levels 
low. 

420
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,060
I can give you one 

421
00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:15,960
more precise opinion when we have 
advanced further towards 

422
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,240
valleys. 

423
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,780
A gold fort is a bit unusual, isn't it? 

424
00:20:20,780 --> 00:20:21,960
Do you think so, Mr. Travers? 

425
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,900
A fort of gold, eh? 

426
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,880
Not a bad idea, Bode. 

427
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,620
Do you think the Sioux will fight?

428
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Do you hear those drums, colonel? 

429
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,260
They are drums of war. 

430
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,300
He will have all the fight he wants. 

431
00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:39,460
Good. 

432
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,340
Major, tighten the spine. 

433
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,080
Double the advance guard and reinforce the 

434
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,640
flanking patrols. 

435
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:47,520
Yes sir. 

436
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,660
It's time for Lone Woman to go. 

437
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:14,280
Tell him I wish him good luck. 

438
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,580
Let's do it. 

439
00:21:41,390 --> 00:21:42,630
Tighten your spine, Joe. 

440
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:43,830
There are no stragglers here, eh? 

441
00:21:44,410 --> 00:21:46,150
That's why I send my wife back to 

442
00:21:46,150 --> 00:21:46,390
Lincoln. 

443
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:48,310
Now he tells me what he is going to have 

444
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:49,150
a son very soon. 

445
00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:50,810
That's how women are. 

446
00:21:51,370 --> 00:21:52,450
Now I go.

447
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,660

448
00:22:00,660 --> 00:22:00,920
Do you know what to tell Agent Father Brady? 

449
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:04,180
Cheyenne Bode says, Custer, don't look for the 
strong, 

450
00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:05,500
look for the gold. 

451
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,240
That's how it is. 

452
00:22:06,820 --> 00:22:08,220
Now go and ride fast. 

453
00:22:21,380 --> 00:22:38,280
Lonely Woman 

454
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,800
comes from Soldier Coats. 

455
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,420
I have a message for the agent 

456
00:22:43,420 --> 00:22:45,980
Father Brady to make the Soldiers 

457
00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:47,460
Coats leave the Black Hills. 

458
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:48,620
A lie. 

459
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:52,280
The man from Lonely Woman leads the 
Soldier Coats 

460
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,460
to the sacred cemetery of his town. 

461
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:01,930
That war arrow might well 

462
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:03,930
having aimed at the heart of the entire

463
00:23:03,930 --> 00:23:07,250
Sioux nation, since it prevented the 
Commissioner Brady 

464
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:11,030
unmasked Senator Conrad and his 
ruthless clique and 

465
00:23:11,030 --> 00:23:13,610
brought the protagonists of the drama closer 
step 

466
00:23:13,610 --> 00:23:15,850
more to the little bighorn. 

467
00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:19,970
At dusk, the expedition camped in a 

468
00:23:19,970 --> 00:23:22,050
wide valley at the foot of Towering Bear 

469
00:23:22,050 --> 00:23:24,370
Butte, in the heart of 

470
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:24,890
sacred cemetery. 

471
00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:37,010
He is from the Minicanju tribe. 

472
00:23:37,890 --> 00:23:39,930
This buffalo shield says it was a 

473
00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:41,810
strong warrior, who fought in many 
battles. 

474
00:23:42,990 --> 00:23:44,510
What beautiful beadwork. 

475
00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:45,870
What is it for?

476
00:23:47,490 --> 00:23:50,750
Contains pemmican and dried buffalo tongue 
for 

477
00:23:50,750 --> 00:23:53,990
the long journey to Winagayatta, to heaven 
Sioux. 

478
00:23:55,270 --> 00:23:57,050
Wow, Cheyenne, you talk like you believe 

479
00:23:57,050 --> 00:23:57,830
all that nonsense. 

480
00:23:58,330 --> 00:24:00,070
There is great beauty in Indian religion. 

481
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:03,830
They worship the sun, Mother Earth and 
Little, 

482
00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:04,250
the buffalo 

483
00:24:05,330 --> 00:24:07,350
They are also great believers in 
dreams and 

484
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:07,710
the visions. 

485
00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:11,390
Most of the time, the visions 
they make reality. 

486
00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:15,290
Well, if we see one, 

487
00:24:15,290 --> 00:24:16,730
I'll ask him when are you going to ask me? 
marriage. 

488
00:24:17,770 --> 00:24:18,330
Come on.

489
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:20,170
Colonel Custer invited me to dinner. 

490
00:24:20,530 --> 00:24:21,110
you 

491
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,380
you are also invited. Come on. 

492
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:38,760
Come on. 

493
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,940
Hey, Doyle, your horse has his leg 
left front injured. 

494
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:44,820
Yes I know. 

495
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,700
He has stepped on a stone. 

496
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:46,840
I'll give you a hand. 

497
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Be careful, son. 

498
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,220
If your horse is lame, you will have to go 
walking 

499
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,900
. There it is. 

500
00:25:00,470 --> 00:25:01,750

501
00:25:02,890 --> 00:25:04,550
May the saints protect us. It is the first 
time the 7th 

502
00:25:04,550 --> 00:25:06,310
has the honor of wearing feminine beauty 
in 

503
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:06,890
his march. 

504
00:25:07,670 --> 00:25:09,930
Gentlemen, Miss Irene Travers. 

505
00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:19,270
There's nothing like practicing the hard life,
Irene. 

506
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:22,110
I've been told that winter is a trap 

507
00:25:22,110 --> 00:25:23,350
can be quite hard. 

508
00:25:23,350 --> 00:25:25,010
You make a lot of money 

509
00:25:25,010 --> 00:25:25,990
working on the traps. 

510
00:25:26,570 --> 00:25:28,450
Cheyenne told me she won over 2000 
dollars 

511
00:25:28,450 --> 00:25:29,210
last winter. 

512
00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:30,150
 2000 dollars? 

513
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:34,690
Major, you and I are in the 

514
00:25:34,690 --> 00:25:35,150
wrong business. 

515
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:39,750
What's up, sergeant? 

516
00:25:39,910 --> 00:25:41,970
I apologize to the colonel, but I believe 

517
00:25:41,970 --> 00:25:42,870
You'll want to take a look at this. 

518
00:25:44,190 --> 00:25:46,050
Private Doyle pulled him out of 

519
00:25:46,050 --> 00:25:46,290
the hoof of his horse. 

520
00:25:47,210 --> 00:25:48,190
With your permission, colonel 

521
00:25:55,550 --> 00:25:55,950
. Gold. 

522
00:25:55,950 --> 00:25:56,190
What? 

523
00:25:56,990 --> 00:25:57,970
It's pure gold, colonel. 

524
00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:01,670
More nuggets

525
00:26:02,510 --> 00:26:03,330
. And gold dust too 

526
00:26:05,250 --> 00:26:05,870
. Gold. 

527
00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:07,390
To the roots. 

528
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:09,610
It's a gold mine, colonel. 

529
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:12,290
The whole valley must be full of gold 

530
00:26:14,150 --> 00:26:14,770
. Incredible 

531
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:28,580
. It will be ready soon. 

532
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:30,040
Coming soon. 

533
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,100
That will cure my gold fever. 

534
00:26:42,490 --> 00:26:43,390
Cheyenne Bodie! 

535
00:26:44,910 --> 00:26:46,510
Have you marked your concessions yet, Bodie? 

536
00:26:47,370 --> 00:26:48,990
So get to work, man. 

537
00:26:49,150 --> 00:26:50,170
. It is the opportunity of your life. 

538
00:26:50,850 --> 00:26:52,310
Buy your license and start 
dig 

539
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:54,090
By fall, you will have the largest flock of 

540
00:26:54,090 --> 00:26:55,330
the area. 

541
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:57,770
I'd be digging right now, sir 
Travers, if it were not

542
00:26:57,770 --> 00:26:58,450
for one thing. 

543
00:26:58,590 --> 00:26:58,790
Hey? 

544
00:26:59,370 --> 00:27:00,070
What's that? 

545
00:27:01,130 --> 00:27:03,390
Well, the Treaty of Laramie states 
clearly that 

546
00:27:03,390 --> 00:27:04,870
The Black Hills belong to the Sioux. 

547
00:27:05,050 --> 00:27:05,810
We are invading their territory. 

548
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:07,770
He can't be serious. 

549
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:10,790
I have my vices, but stealing is not one 

550
00:27:10,790 --> 00:27:11,110
of them. 

551
00:27:21,210 --> 00:27:21,650
Bodie! 

552
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:35,440
Three men from Troop C have deserted 
to go 

553
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:35,920
in search of gold. 

554
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,200
Colonel Custer wants us to bring them 
back, 

555
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,900
alive or dead to set an example for the rest 

556
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:40,280
of the regiment. 

557
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,060
Your patrol will go ahead of us. 

558
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:43,360
Bodie.

559
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:46,600
Your personal affairs are coming out 
of control. 

560
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,220
I already told you once that that's my business. 

561
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,720
Not when it comes to Miss Travers. 

562
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:53,500
At the moment, she has the illusion of 
that 

563
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,180
You are a very romantic figure. 

564
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,220
But if you think I'm going to let you 

565
00:27:57,220 --> 00:27:59,460
you drag her into the desert, you're 

566
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:00,420
very wrong. 

567
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:04,060
Well, what do you suggest, Major? 

568
00:28:04,580 --> 00:28:05,940
Guns at twenty paces? 

569
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:08,920
And a court martial to beat in 
duel? 

570
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,140
Oh no, Bodie. 

571
00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:11,860
There are other ways. 

572
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:13,640
Well, I'm sure you'll find one. 

573
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,780
Meanwhile,

574
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:16,120
Do I have permission to meet with my 
explorers? 

575
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,180
Permission granted. 

576
00:28:36,530 --> 00:28:37,470
What's up, Bodie? 

577
00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:40,450
Those men from C Troop, Major. 

578
00:28:40,930 --> 00:28:41,670
We have found them. 

579
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:08,220
You have to be an explorer to find a 
little 

580
00:29:08,220 --> 00:29:10,180
of privacy in this camp 
crazy about gold. 

581
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,440
Well I guess we're good for some 
things. 

582
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,180
For many, many things, darling. 

583
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,760
Dear. 

584
00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:25,840
My father told me that you have not claimed 
none 

585
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,400
concession. 

586
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,080

587
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,580
I... I just didn't believe him. 

588
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:30,920
Why not? 

589
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,220
But I don't understand it.

590
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,980
You are a fortune. 

591
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:36,920
You just have to take it. 

592
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,860
It would mean we could have everything 

593
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:39,460
what we would like. 

594
00:29:40,260 --> 00:29:41,980
We could get married when we return to 

595
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:42,820
Fort Abraham Lincoln. 

596
00:29:46,010 --> 00:29:47,630
I thought you'd like it, darling. 

597
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:51,470

598
00:29:51,470 --> 00:29:52,410
Did your father tell you why I'm not going to 
claim any concession? 

599
00:29:53,290 --> 00:29:55,330
Well, he said it's because... 

600
00:29:55,330 --> 00:29:57,150
The land belongs to the Sioux. 

601
00:29:57,470 --> 00:29:58,350
That's right, Irene. 

602
00:29:59,110 --> 00:30:00,790
Many Indians are my friends. 

603
00:30:00,890 --> 00:30:01,770
They have been good to me. 

604
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:03,850
I'm not going to steal your land. 

605
00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:08,150
I respect your principles, darling, but this 

606
00:30:08,150 --> 00:30:09,150
It's ridiculous.

607
00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:11,390
The Sioux are nothing but savages. 

608
00:30:12,050 --> 00:30:13,250
Look what they've done to them 

609
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:13,950
today to those poor kids. 

610
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:15,730
They were deserters. 

611
00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:18,610
Colonel Custer sent a patrol to 

612
00:30:18,610 --> 00:30:19,790
bring them back, dead or alive. 

613
00:30:20,490 --> 00:30:21,850
The Sioux found them first. 

614
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:28,110
If you thought about us, about 

615
00:30:28,110 --> 00:30:29,990
our future happiness, you would claim 
some concessions. 

616
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:36,300
I would do anything for you, 

617
00:30:36,340 --> 00:30:39,940
Irene, except destroy that in which 
I think. 

618
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,080
What you really mean is that no 

619
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,560
you love me enough 

620
00:30:48,670 --> 00:30:50,570
Maybe it's the other way around. 

621
00:30:56,490 --> 00:30:57,070
Irene?

622
00:31:02,490 --> 00:31:04,670
In view of the importance of this 
discovery, 

623
00:31:04,870 --> 00:31:06,890
I have decided to set up camp here 
permanent. 

624
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:11,930
Sincerely, George Armstrong Custer, 
lieutenant colonel, 7th 

625
00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:12,870
Cavalry Regiment, Black Hills. 

626
00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:15,990

627
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:16,330
Why don't you call it Custer Park, Black 
Hills, colonel? 

628
00:31:17,390 --> 00:31:20,350
Make it Custer Park instead of 7th 

629
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:20,930
Cavalry Regiment, lieutenant. 

630
00:31:21,790 --> 00:31:24,530
Send it to Lieutenant General Philip 
Sheridan, headquarters, 

631
00:31:25,370 --> 00:31:26,770
Platte Department, Omaha, Nebraska. 

632
00:31:27,370 --> 00:31:28,110
Respectfully, Colonel.

633
00:31:29,570 --> 00:31:31,130
At dawn, you will depart for Fort Abraham 

634
00:31:31,130 --> 00:31:33,150
Lincoln with two important offices that 
I want 

635
00:31:33,150 --> 00:31:34,870
to be personally responsible for 
telegraph immediately. 

636
00:31:35,230 --> 00:31:35,570
Yes sir. 

637
00:31:36,290 --> 00:31:37,690
They will take with them a detachment of 
seven men. 

638
00:31:37,790 --> 00:31:39,250
I want to be sure that these dispatches 
they arrive 

639
00:31:39,250 --> 00:31:39,510
to your destination. 

640
00:31:40,430 --> 00:31:42,510
Send this to... 

641
00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:47,630
Mr. James Curry, editor of the Washington 
Globe, Washington, D. 

642
00:31:47,630 --> 00:31:51,270
. C. The expedition led by 
Lieutenant Colonel George 

643
00:31:51,270 --> 00:31:55,730
Armstrong Custer discovered gold until

644
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:57,210
Grass roots in the Black Hills of 
Dakota. 

645
00:31:57,930 --> 00:32:00,770
Mr. Travers, a mineralogist from 
government, affirms that there is a 

646
00:32:00,770 --> 00:32:02,710
30 mile wide gold belt. 

647
00:32:04,650 --> 00:32:06,190
The largest gold find in history 
of the 

648
00:32:06,190 --> 00:32:06,470
country. 

649
00:32:16,610 --> 00:32:17,330
OK! 

650
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:57,800
Don't shoot. 

651
00:32:57,980 --> 00:32:58,600
It's a storm. 

652
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,200
Is the fight over? 

653
00:33:16,980 --> 00:33:18,220
a small group of warriors, colonel. 

654
00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:21,020
My scouts can take care of the 
that remain. 

655
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,140
Bodie shot me like a dog, colonel. 

656
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:26,040
I want him to be judged in a council of 
war! 

657
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,740
Bodie?

658
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,820
The squall left to get married. 

659
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,880
She was not armed. 

660
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,060
I told them not to shoot, but 

661
00:33:35,060 --> 00:33:36,100
Caldwell killed her. 

662
00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:39,000
All the men under my command have 
orders 

663
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,380
not to harm a squall unless 
come closer 

664
00:33:40,380 --> 00:33:41,760
with a gun, Mr. Caldwell. 

665
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,400
And all civilians must obey the 
orders of the 

666
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,740
military. 

667
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:49,800
Sergeant, take care 

668
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,140
of Mr. Caldwell's wounds. 

669
00:33:50,380 --> 00:33:50,920
Yes sir. 

670
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,260
Bodie, your scouts aren't very 
thorough. 

671
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,620
He is an old healer. 

672
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:10,199
He wants to talk to you, colonel.

673
00:34:15,170 --> 00:34:17,010
Turn around, squall killer. 

674
00:34:18,330 --> 00:34:20,570
Take your military carriage and go. 

675
00:34:22,210 --> 00:34:24,550
There is nothing here for you but death. 

676
00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:27,630
Must be the same old nut that 
left 

677
00:34:27,630 --> 00:34:28,630
that buffalo skull, colonel. 

678
00:34:32,219 --> 00:34:33,980
Get off the pony, old man. 

679
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:34,960
We will take care of your wound. 

680
00:34:44,949 --> 00:34:46,429
Death, storm killer. 

681
00:34:47,790 --> 00:34:50,389
Death to you and your military carriage. 

682
00:34:51,850 --> 00:34:54,850
Last night, Slow Bull prayed to Wakan Tanka. 

683
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,790
Slow Bull's eyes saw a powerful 

684
00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:59,310
vision. 

685
00:35:00,070 --> 00:35:03,350
The warriors, as many as blades of 
grass.

686
00:35:04,830 --> 00:35:07,870
Many, many military carriages will fall. 

687
00:35:08,610 --> 00:35:10,430
The storm killer will fall. 

688
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:11,890
The storm killer. 

689
00:35:13,270 --> 00:35:15,830
Military carriages will die. 

690
00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:19,070
They will all die. 

691
00:35:26,630 --> 00:35:28,350
Stop that nonsense, colonel. 

692
00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:32,360
I believe in Custer's luck. 

693
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,020
News of the discovery was on the front page 
in all the newspapers 

694
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:43,840
coast to coast. 

695
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:46,860
The magical appeal of gold spread 
for all the 

696
00:35:46,860 --> 00:35:47,960
country like a prairie fire. 

697
00:35:48,540 --> 00:35:52,600
Merchants, office workers, gamblers, 
waiters, men of all walks of life

698
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,640
of life joined the stampede. 

699
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,480
In three weeks, more than 11,000 

700
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,120
Whites were digging in the Black Hills. 

701
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,760
And the Sioux fought back. 

702
00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:06,620
The only way they knew how. 

703
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,460
The miners demanded the protection of the 
Army and Senator Conrad 

704
00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:12,640
made those demands heard. 

705
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:15,780
But honest men in the high 
spheres listened 

706
00:36:15,780 --> 00:36:18,140
Commissioner Brady's calm voice. 

707
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:21,960
And soon, the army patrols 
They began to reject the 

708
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,540
gold diggers. 

709
00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:25,260
But the patrols were too few.

710
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:27,880
And the men eager for gold 

711
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,900
, who had withdrawn at one point, 
They simply entered through another. 

712
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:34,940
For more than a year, the spill of 
blood continued. 

713
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,540
At Fort Lincoln, Custer, under orders from 

714
00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:43,240
not intervene, he became impatient and trained 

715
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:44,460
to the seventh without rest. 

716
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:48,380
Meanwhile, the government tried to put 
end 

717
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,540
to the slaughter buying the Black Hills at 
the sioux. 

718
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:53,900
But the great hostile chiefs decreed 
the death of 

719
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:55,120
all who were willing to 
sell.

720
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,480
So reserve heads, Red Cloud 
and Spotted 

721
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,020
Tail, they refused to sign. 

722
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,160
Then, the government lost patience. 

723
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,940
And in the spring of 1876, 

724
00:37:04,940 --> 00:37:07,160
He passed the hot potato to the army. 

725
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:08,940
Custer, to be exact. 

726
00:37:09,740 --> 00:37:12,020
The curtain rose on the second act 

727
00:37:12,020 --> 00:37:14,080
from the drama of Little Bighorn. 

728
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,660
But now, the hostile tribes of Toro 
Sitting, 

729
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:20,320
Crazy Horse and Silly Knife have stolen 
the 

730
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,700
prominence to the main actors. 

731
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,760
Because they have completely disappeared, like 
yes

732
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,600
the earth would have swallowed them. 

733
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:30,400
All those Northern Cheyenne Sioux with 
their 

734
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,040
women, children and herds of ponies 
they can disappear. 

735
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:35,580
They are hidden somewhere in this 
area between 

736
00:37:35,580 --> 00:37:37,360
the Missouri and the Platte. 

737
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:38,740
It's up to you, explorers, 
discover 

738
00:37:38,740 --> 00:37:39,040
where. 

739
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,680
Gruard, you will explore 

740
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,300
northwest to the confluence of the 
Yellowstone. 

741
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,940
And Bodie, you will explore the southwest, toward 
Lower 

742
00:37:46,940 --> 00:37:48,160
Powder and Tongue Country. 

743
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:50,300
And stay there until you have something 

744
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:50,860
to report.

745
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,400
And where am I going, colonel? 

746
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,420
Our contracted surgeon reports that 
your eyes are 

747
00:37:56,420 --> 00:37:57,120
Getting worse, Joe. 

748
00:37:57,580 --> 00:37:59,040
You will receive an honorable discharge. 

749
00:37:59,740 --> 00:38:00,680
You better get back to hunting. 

750
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,840
Well maybe now I can find out 

751
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,760
What happened to Lonely Woman. 

752
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:06,900
I hope you make it, Joe. 

753
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:09,780
Any questions? 

754
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,000
What will happen when we find the 
hostile, colonel? 

755
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:16,060
I'll tell you when you get back. 

756
00:38:18,220 --> 00:38:19,460
If it comes back. 

757
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,320
What do you mean by that, Major? 

758
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Hostiles could capture you and take you away 
your browser.

759
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:29,860
A pretty Indian woman could call you 
attention. 

760
00:38:30,460 --> 00:38:32,100
There are many reasons why a man 
I might not want 

761
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:32,520
return. 

762
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:33,780
Maybe you should come with me. 

763
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,260
You could learn something. 

764
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:36,080
No, thanks. 

765
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,860
On the one hand, I have ten days of leave, 

766
00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:40,940
What do I plan to spend in Bismarck with? 

767
00:38:40,940 --> 00:38:41,440
Miss Travers. 

768
00:38:42,340 --> 00:38:45,660
On the other hand, if it were with you, 

769
00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:46,540
maybe I wouldn't come back. 

770
00:39:03,610 --> 00:39:04,650
Disgusting. 

771
00:39:06,630 --> 00:39:09,030
Well, it's a way that the army has 
of 

772
00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:10,050
take revenge on me 

773
00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:13,230

774
00:39:13,230 --> 00:39:13,350
Has the doctor figured out what's wrong with you? 

775
00:39:13,890 --> 00:39:16,350
Only, at my age, I shouldn't try

776
00:39:16,350 --> 00:39:19,090
make the trip from the reservation 
Standing Rock 

777
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:20,670
in one go. 

778
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:22,930
It's quite a long trip, yes. 

779
00:39:23,050 --> 00:39:23,410
Yes. 

780
00:39:24,910 --> 00:39:26,510
What happened at headquarters? 

781
00:39:27,310 --> 00:39:29,330
Custer is sending everyone 
explorers to try 

782
00:39:29,330 --> 00:39:30,510
locate the hostiles. 

783
00:39:30,510 --> 00:39:33,330

784
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:33,690
Did Custer tell you why he was so 
anxious? 

785
00:39:34,210 --> 00:39:35,930
No, he said we'd find out when 

786
00:39:35,930 --> 00:39:36,490
we would return 

787
00:39:37,290 --> 00:39:37,630
Hey. 

788
00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:41,690
Well, the Sioux don't want to sell the 
Black Hills 

789
00:39:42,350 --> 00:39:44,530
and the army has received the order 
enter 

790
00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:45,350
in combat. 

791
00:39:46,090 --> 00:39:47,590
That's more or less.

792
00:39:47,830 --> 00:39:49,710
I guess Custer doesn't give him much credit 
to 

793
00:39:49,710 --> 00:39:51,070
old Slowbowl's prophecy. 

794
00:39:51,530 --> 00:39:54,510
Not even Custer's famous luck 
can come 

795
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:55,250
very far away. 

796
00:39:56,530 --> 00:39:59,290
I heard that things are not going very well 

797
00:39:59,290 --> 00:40:00,690
between you and Reno. 

798
00:40:02,850 --> 00:40:04,130
No, I guess not. 

799
00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:06,690
Maybe I'd better buy my 
licensing before 

800
00:40:06,690 --> 00:40:07,610
that we face each other. 

801
00:40:08,110 --> 00:40:09,050
No, Cheyenne. 

802
00:40:09,730 --> 00:40:11,910
I need you right where you are. 

803
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:14,810
Anyway, I couldn't give up now 
that I am low 

804
00:40:14,810 --> 00:40:15,170
orders. 

805
00:40:15,690 --> 00:40:17,610
If I did, they would accuse me of desertion and 

806
00:40:17,710 --> 00:40:18,770
they would shoot me

807
00:40:19,530 --> 00:40:21,450
I wouldn't want to do that 

808
00:40:21,450 --> 00:40:21,790
Happy to Major Reno. 

809
00:40:21,790 --> 00:40:24,270
You must avoid problems with them at all 

810
00:40:24,270 --> 00:40:24,730
coast. 

811
00:40:25,490 --> 00:40:26,850
There is too much at stake. 

812
00:40:28,010 --> 00:40:30,050
And if things go as 

813
00:40:30,050 --> 00:40:32,550
I think they will come out, I will need your help. 

814
00:40:33,390 --> 00:40:35,390
I'll need it desperately, Cheyenne. 

815
00:40:37,610 --> 00:40:39,650
When that time comes, you can count 

816
00:40:39,650 --> 00:40:39,810
with me. 

817
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:42,530
See you in two or three weeks 

818
00:40:43,630 --> 00:40:45,390
. You better try to relax and 
rest. 

819
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:58,330
Late in the afternoon, Cheyenne Bodie, 
Grouard and Bloody 

820
00:40:58,330 --> 00:41:00,410
Knife set out on their missions 
exploration for

821
00:41:00,410 --> 00:41:01,050
Colonel Custer. 

822
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:10,200
For two weeks, Bodie went into 
the 

823
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,260
powder-and-tongue territory. 

824
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,700
But his search only confirmed the 
previous reports. 

825
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,760
Here, in the very heart of the territory 

826
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,440
Sioux, there was no trace of any 

827
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:20,860
enemy. 

828
00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:24,500
Only traces and signs that 

829
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,240
there had been a great migration 
towards the northwest. 

830
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,260
To Bodie, this seemed more meaningful 
and serious 

831
00:41:30,260 --> 00:41:33,080
that if I had located all 

832
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:33,420
the sioux nation. 

833
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,060
On the night of May 16, 1876,

834
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:40,060
returned to Fort Abraham Lincoln to give 
this 

835
00:41:40,060 --> 00:41:41,340
information to Colonel Custer. 

836
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,140
Cheyenne, Mr. Brady wants to see you. 

837
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:45,600
Run. 

838
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,240
Where is? 

839
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:48,860
Near the settlers' store. 

840
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,580
I'll see him after reporting to headquarters. 
general. 

841
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,760
An hour later, Lieutenant Colonel 
Custer gave the 

842
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,900
fateful order... 

843
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:00,720
Boots and saddles at 3 o'clock 
early morning. Good 

844
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:01,120
evenings, gentlemen. 

845
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,080
And the curtain rose on the third act 

846
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,180
of the drama. 

847
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,660
And tell Major Burroughs to do

848
00:42:25,660 --> 00:42:27,260
practice band eight hours a day. 

849
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:28,780
Permission to speak to the colonel, sir. 

850
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:29,760
What's up, soldier? 

851
00:42:30,340 --> 00:42:32,220
Colonel, sir, I have been ordered to stay 
back, 

852
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,640
but I would like to go with him 

853
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:33,920
regiment. 

854
00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:36,380
Report to Lieutenant Calhoun. 

855
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Tell him he has my permission to join 

856
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:38,600
to his troop. 

857
00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:39,660
Thank you, sir. 

858
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,260
Cheyenne Bodie has deserted, sir. 

859
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:46,420
Deserted? 

860
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,120
Are you sure, Major? 

861
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:48,960
Absolutely. 

862
00:42:49,620 --> 00:42:50,840
Your computer has disappeared from your 
accommodation. 

863
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:51,760
His horse, from the stables.

864
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:53,920
The guard reports that he left on horseback 
around midnight. 

865
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,540
I told him that we should 

866
00:42:55,540 --> 00:42:55,980
keep an eye on him, colonel. 

867
00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:57,500
Just when I need it most. 

868
00:42:58,220 --> 00:42:59,500
Should I report him for desertion? 

869
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:00,960
Yes, immediately. 

870
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,260
You take care of it, major. 

871
00:43:02,900 --> 00:43:04,200
I have to say goodbye to Mrs. Custer. 

872
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:12,200
Lieutenant, immediately send a 
telegram to 

873
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,240
all command positions. 

874
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,720
Subject: desertion. 

875
00:43:17,980 --> 00:43:20,040
Cheyenne Army Civilian Scout 
Bodie. 

876
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:21,980
Attached to the 7th Cavalry Regiment, 
Fort Abraham Lincoln.

877
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:24,940
Height: 1.98m 

878
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,920
. Dark hair, gray eyes. 

879
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:29,600
The man with four names must be 

880
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,080
arrested, alive or dead. 

881
00:43:36,020 --> 00:43:41,500
On May 17, 1876, Lieutenant Colonel 
George Armstrong 

882
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:44,520
Custer and the 7th Cavalry Regiment 
came out of 

883
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,960
Fort Abraham Lincoln to 

884
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,500
fulfill your destiny and 

885
00:43:50,500 --> 00:43:52,580
the prophecy of an old healer about the 
little ram 

886
00:44:00,580 --> 00:44:10,270
It could have been just another paragraph 

887
00:44:10,270 --> 00:44:11,370
in a history book. 

888
00:44:12,010 --> 00:44:14,370
But the press became 

889
00:44:14,370 --> 00:44:17,390
defeat at a Roman festival and fueled the
public outrage until 

890
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:17,790
bring it to the climax. 

891
00:44:18,430 --> 00:44:20,630
had to 

892
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:21,050
find a scapegoat for him 
disaster. 

893
00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:25,650
And the mantle of scapegoat fell 
about Major Marcus 

894
00:44:25,650 --> 00:44:25,930
Reindeer. 

895
00:44:26,990 --> 00:44:29,690
But there were other voices, which were not heard 
between the 

896
00:44:29,690 --> 00:44:30,050
clamor. 

897
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:33,470
Those who attributed the blame to whom 
I really had it. 

898
00:44:33,890 --> 00:44:35,830
But, senator, if you blame your 

899
00:44:35,830 --> 00:44:38,590
expedition to the Black Hills 
Custer massacre, you will be finished 

900
00:44:38,590 --> 00:44:39,070
politically. 

901
00:44:39,710 --> 00:44:42,210
And with the elections around the corner 
corner, that

902
00:44:42,210 --> 00:44:42,950
It will ruin the party. 

903
00:44:43,330 --> 00:44:44,990
It will also be bad for my railway. 

904
00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:46,870
The public knows we had something to do with it 
in 

905
00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:46,990
it. 

906
00:44:47,250 --> 00:44:49,350
The Government could cancel our 
commercial concessions in 

907
00:44:49,350 --> 00:44:49,910
the territories. 

908
00:44:49,950 --> 00:44:51,370
That's another thing you should think about. 

909
00:44:54,430 --> 00:44:56,470
Gentlemen, we have all made fortunes with 
the 

910
00:44:56,470 --> 00:44:56,970
Black Hills. 

911
00:44:57,710 --> 00:44:59,190
And we will continue to do so. 

912
00:44:59,190 --> 00:45:02,050
An old friend of mine, Colonel Jonathan 
Bell, 

913
00:45:02,130 --> 00:45:03,730
will be the hearing judge on the commission 

914
00:45:03,730 --> 00:45:05,330
army research on 
Custer massacre.

915
00:45:06,330 --> 00:45:08,350
Colonel Bell is a man 
extremely capable. 

916
00:45:09,150 --> 00:45:11,090
He is also ambitious. 

917
00:45:11,790 --> 00:45:13,810

918
00:45:13,810 --> 00:45:16,050

919
00:45:16,050 --> 00:45:16,330
Are you sure you can attribute all 
the blame for the Custer massacre on the major 
Reindeer? 

920
00:45:18,110 --> 00:45:20,230
Let me answer this question. 
way, 

921
00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:20,590
gentlemen. 

922
00:45:21,590 --> 00:45:23,470
Major Reno claims that there were more than 

923
00:45:23,470 --> 00:45:26,470
4000 Indians among his decimated forces and 
Custer's. 

924
00:45:27,170 --> 00:45:29,910
Colonel Bell assures me that he has three 
witnesses 

925
00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:32,470
who will swear that the Indians were less 

926
00:45:32,470 --> 00:45:33,470
of 1000. 

927
00:45:34,910 --> 00:45:37,650
Major Reno has no witnesses.

928
00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:41,770
But Senator Conrad was wrong. 

929
00:45:42,590 --> 00:45:43,790
There was a witness. 

930
00:45:44,370 --> 00:45:47,610
Among the 4000 Indians who annihilated 

931
00:45:47,610 --> 00:45:50,770
to Custer and the 7th Cavalry, there was one 

932
00:45:50,770 --> 00:45:52,270
of great height and stature. 

933
00:45:53,110 --> 00:45:55,710
From a hill overlooking the Little 
Bighorn, 

934
00:45:55,710 --> 00:45:58,650
He watched the massacre through the eyes of 
a white man. 

935
00:45:59,490 --> 00:46:02,290
And the carnage he saw 

936
00:46:02,290 --> 00:46:04,270
The curtain lowered on the third act of the drama. 

937
00:46:05,310 --> 00:46:07,430
But there was still another act to do. 

938
00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:11,090
represent, the most dramatic of all, in 
the one who 

939
00:46:11,090 --> 00:46:13,290
would tell a commission of inquiry 
of the Army on

940
00:46:13,290 --> 00:46:16,450
Major Reno's behavior 

941
00:46:16,450 --> 00:46:19,370
most amazing story ever told 
about the Battle of Custer.
