That's far e enough, blue belly.

Dismount and stand fast.

You're a mighty long way from home soldier.

My home is a house divided.

I'm your contact, Captain.

Took your time getting here. I'd about gave you up.

I'm Walt Ives.

John Forrest, 21st Illinois.

You'll forgive my precautions, Captain,

but in my work, one is very careful or very dead.

Mr. Ives, I've brought my men a long way

to this rendezvous.

Get on with the business.

Unfortunately, we have no business

to get along with, Captain.

Like so many other things in war,

your efforts have been wasted.

And out of touch.

Is t this our contact, Captain?

Was, Mr. Loomis.

Thank God the war's over.

Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox.

Uthern resistance crumbles

Is it really over, Captain?

It's beginning to look that way...

All right, hold down the noise.

Yeah, we won!

I said hold it down.

The men deserve a little celebration.

I'll handle my men, Mr. Loomis.

All right, it's good news for everyone,

but the war won't be over for us

until we're on our own side of the lines.

There's bound to be a lot like us who haven't heard yet

and there's probably just as many others

that'd like to take a shot at us, war over or not.

Is that clear?

Mr. Loomis?

Sergeant Wade, return the men to duty.

Yes, sir.

All right, you heard the man.

I'm obligated to offer you safe transport t to the North.

I'll take my chances here, Captain,

among my own people.

The South is my home.

Well, suit yourself.

Could you'll me the quickest and safest way

to our lines?

Everyone hates spy,

but no one minds using his information.

Hug the riverbed. You'll see an olfarmhouse.

From there, take the road north.

You'll soon run into blue unifor.

Sounds gooood to me, thanks.

Oh, Captain, haven't you forgotte something?

Mr. Loomis is our treasury man.

Trust Mr. Seward to send one of his own.

900, isn't it?

Could you, uh...

Could you make it 1,000?

Now, this puts you out of a job.

There'll be other warswo

I hope not as close to home as this one, Mr. Ives.

When you get back to Washington,

please tell Mr. Lincoln it's been a pleasure

doing business with an honest man.

Good day, gentlemen.

Make our close at the top of the U

and cut across the edge here.

You'd be safer walking home,

then riding with a brand like that.

Major, Yates and Coy are bringing somebody in.

Get in there.

We found this man riding your horch, Simon.

I mean Major Boyd, sir.

Am I speaking to the Major Boyd?

I'm Walter Ives.

It's my pleasure, sir.

Why, every schoolboy in Georgia

plays at being Major Simon Boyd, sir.

Fine looking animal.

Yes, his name is Eddie Mac.

I rereckon I'd know my own horse's name.

Where'd you come by him?

I bought him from a soldier.

Be glad to return him.

Thanks.

You must've paid quite a bit of money for Eddie M.

He's an expensive horse all right.

Where'd you get thatat kind of money, Mr. Ives?

Now, I assure you, Major Boyd, sir.

I'm a legitima businessman.

Here are my papers.

I make it a rule never to look at

what a man wants me to see.

Excuse me, sir.

Shouldn't do a thing like this.

Someone get the lieutenant a drink.

He's a civilian.

Obviously a southern gentlemen.

One of your kind?

You are a southern gentlemen, aren't you Mr. Ives?

He's got enough gold here

to buy a string of horses, Major.

Well, Lieutenant Wilcox,

now how do you explain a loyal Southern business man

with federal gold?

We'll have to do something about that headache, Mr. Ives.

Well, now I can explain about the money, sir.

Yates, give the Southern gentleman a smoke.

It'll help clear his head.

He can explain better.

Of course.

Now, where'd you get the money?

Where?

From a union patrol.

What business you got with a union patrol?

I was supposed to put them in touch with some people.

What kind ofof people?

Undercover agents.

Well, you're a traitor then.

That's about as low as a man gets.

We'll follow Ives' route, along this riverbed.

Well, it'd be faster if we cross this ridge

and bypass the farmhouse.

The safety of the n come first, Loomis, not speed.

Look, I'm responsible for getting the gold back.

I don't like to keep reminding you

of my letter from the treasury department.

Well, then d don't, please.

Forrest, you're running this patrol like you...

Mr. Loomis, my mission was toeliver you

and your gold to the contact here

and then get out.

Now, I don't like being saddled with a political appointee

on a soldier's job, but I'm stuck with you

till we get back, so make it easy on yourself, mimister, huh?

Now, our good friend Mr. Ives here

was kind enough to tell us where there's more

of this federal gold.

He volunteered the information that these treasury wagons

usually carry 50,000 or more.

They're not gonna hand it to us, sir.

A few shots and they'll run like r rabbits.

I say we take the gold.

Major Boyd, I fought with you

for the confedereracy as a soldier,

but I'm no bandit.

What do you mean bandit?

We've starved and lostst our homes and families,

and now they tell us the war is over.

Why, it's just begun r the losers.

I saw we've each earned e chance at a stake,

something to sta worth.

I think the Major's right.

Of course the Major's right.

Connors, there won't be n no fight.

It's not for me, Major.

I didn't have nothing when I come into this war,

but a few ideals.

I guess that's the least I can go home with.

Connors.

Wait up, Connors.

I'm going with you.

Now, what about the rest of you men?

You, Wilcox?

You still got your ideals or are you staying?

WhWhy not?

You think we oughta cut out, Samuel?

Well, man's a funny creature, Ebb.

He's never satisfied.

Well, here, this morning, I swore to heaven

I'd be content with a new pair of boots.

I got plenty money for the boots.

Now I want a horse.

Man's never satisfied.

Yates.

Yes, sir?

Get the men ready to move out.

All right, you men, let's break up this camp.

- Jimmy, boy. - Sir?

Now, when we get there, I've got a special job for you.

Yes, sir.

Just trying to get 'em even, sergeant.

What's even?

Three month's pay, sergeant.

What'd you owe him yesterday?

Two months.

You'll both be out of the army in less than a month.

OhOh, I won't quit on him, sergeant.

I'll keep on trying to get him even.

Wilcox, take your men and place them around the camp.

Yes, sir.

Yates.

Yes, sir.

I want you to cut their horses loose.

We'll all be riding shortly.

Right.

Son, I want you to go into their camp

and tell them our terms.

Their lives for the gold.

Now, the men will be covering you from every side.

Let me have your weapons.

Hopper, I'm glad we've got you and your Gatli gun

on our side.

Thank you, sir.

How many rounds a minute can you crank out of it now?

I'm up to about two clips, about 40 shells, sir.

Well, it looks like you won't be using it after all.

That's fine with me.

You know, target practice is one thing,

but I don't think I'd be much good at shooting down men.

- Sergeant Wade. - Yes, sir?

- Are we ready to move? - Yes, sir.

I think we have a visitor, son.

He looks harmless enough.

He shot Jimmy!

Let him have it, men!

Hey, get the men in front of the wagon.

Right.

All right, you men, come on,

move out in front of this wagon.

All right, come on, men.

Hold I it, men.

You men, scatter and take all those Yankee horses.

Right.

McLean, flank.

Set the gun up here.

Yes, sir.

Put those rain barrels in front of it.

Jensen, cover the left flank.

Wade, get rid of the wagon, then cover the right.

Yes, sir.

Loomis, get under cover.

Captain.

Forrest, I have a few things to say to you.

Look, Forresest, you can stop the silent treatment.

Now, I have to get that gold to Washington.

I may not be a soldier, but I've got more sense

than to come into a place like this.

Mr. Loomis, those confederates attacking us

don't know the war's over and I'm not risking any more men

to get that gold back a little sooner.

But, Mr. Seward...

We're staying here until it's light enough to go out there

and tell them we're all brothers again.

Hold your fire!

It's my wife.

Cover her, sergeant.

All right, tell her to drop the gun.

He doesn't tell me anything, soldier.

He asks.

Come down here, ma'am.

You should be more careful who you fire on.

No.

I should just be a better shot, Captain.

Are there any other guns in the house?

There's a rifle in the kitchen.

Sergeant Wade, will you get it?

Yes, sir.

You have no right to commandeer this house, Captain.

The war is over.

I'm afraid those men outside aren't as well informed

as you are, sir.

Sergeant Wade, is the Gatling gun set up?

Yes, sir.

Would you check the surrounding area?

Yes, sir.

You fought for the South, sir?

Yes, I was an officer.

Captain Allen Prescott.

Do you know if there are any patrols

still operating in this area?

No.

I prayed I'd seen the last of fighting.

Little we have left.

There'll be no damage to your property,

at least not from us.

Oh, damaging this house will take some doing.

We hope to leave at first light.

Captain, when you leave,

I'll ride with you to Waycross.

If you're still determined to leave, Carol,

I'll take e you into town.

I might need protection on the way.

What will you do when you get back north?

I don't wanna talk a about i.

Don't paw me.

Carol, I understand your feelings.

I know it wasn't easy for you,

but from what I've seen, all anyone has these days

is each other.

We can begin again by repairing the main house

and then in time, with a good crop or t two,

we'll be able to have some of the things we had before.

And where will the money come from for all this?

Will you dream that up too?

Go on back t to your room.

Go on.

Back side of that house is solid brick, Major.

There's no way to get at 'em there.

Then we'd have to go up against the gun.

Get the men ready.

All right, get your gear together.

Aren't you going just a little too far, Major?

Is that an opinion, Mr. Wilcox?

An order?

If we'reaught, they'll hang all of us.

Better to die rich than live poor, Mr. Wilcox.

Now if you ain't got the stomach for this,

you'd best head back home to that rich family of yours.

They've probably got enough money left

to keep you drunk for the rest of your life.

What do you think, Ebb?

Well, I'll tell ya.

I wasn't too keen about more fightin',

but whenen they cut down Jimmy back there,

they didn't make no friend out of Ebb Burns,

I'll tell ya that.

You said my thinking perfect, Ebb.

And they're gonna have to kill this old boy

to keep 'em away from that gold now

and I take an awful lot of killing.

I checked the entire area, sir.

No one can get at us from that way

and our gucovers the entire front and sides.

Good.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

The whole country's preparing for peace

and you're laying plans for war.

Please feel free at any time, Mr. Loomis,

to negotiate a special peace for us.

Jensen?

Hmm?

You know that $3 you owe me for the laundry

and things I'd been doing for ya?

Yeah.

Well, I was wondering if I could have it now.

I'll give it to you payday, ke I said.

I sure could use it awful bad right now.

What are you gonna spend it on out here?

Oh, now that McLean and me are stationed

on the gun together, we got time to get a few hands in.

Ain't you ever gonna learn?

You know, McLean's gonna own you for the rest of your life.

Aw, I got a good chance to get even now.

Honest.

Well, I was gonna get some candy for my girl

first union town we hit.

Ah, it's no good for her anyway, I guess.

Here, two oughta be enough for McLean for now

and I still got a $1, so I can something for her.

Oh, you're a friend, Jensen, a real friend.

Watch me get even.

Almost forgot what cash-money looks like.

It comes from playing people that owe me all the time.

Oh, it's cash all right.

And it's gonna change my luck.

Coffee?

Thanks.

I'm so sick of chicory,

I'll even try some of your army coffee.

And you're not from the South, Mrs. Prescott.

No, I'm going back where I belong.

May I sit down?

You seemed a little disappointed

that your husband didn't attack five armed soldiers

with his bare hands.

At one time he would've tried.

There's great wisdom in looking at peace for the world.

Is that why you're in the army, Captain?

Not everyone thinks like your husband.

He came back from the war a different man.

Well, you're fortunate he came back at all.

Fortunate?

I've been living in this pigsty for two years

after the main house was destroyed.

No food half the time, freezing in the winter,

and roasting in the summer.

But I waited because I knew Allen would make up

for everything.

I loved him, I respected him.

He came back, as you've seen, spineless.

No, no, I would have been better off

if he hadn't come back.

Don't wallow to deep in your self-pity, Mrs. Prescott.

It doesn't change a thing.

I know.

Sergeant Wade, you and Jensen get some coffee.

I'll stand by on the porch.

Yes, sir.

Yates, get some men and go up the gully.

Now just draw their fire, but don't let anyone get shot up.

Mclean, take it easy on that ammo.

All right, fill 'er up.

McLean, get that gun reloaded on the double.

Soldier, that's government property.

Drop it!

I said drop it.

Loomis, have you gone mad?

Get inside.

McLean, Pike, get back on your post.

Wanna know something?

We got all this gold and practically no bullets.

Lovely, ain't it?

I was just fighting for my life before,

now there's money involved.

You rebs are gonna have to kill polecat.

Loomis, one of your men dumped it.

Get it out of sight.

It's enough money to tempt any soldier.

You know, I wondered why we drug that Loomis alalong.

He must be a treasury man, huh?

Yeah, we're getting low on ammunition.

Had enough of this, we could buy some from the rebs.

Pike, how much we got left?

One clip, sir.

Come inside.

Wade.

I'll trade you, Sergeant.

We'll cover you from here.

I'll feel mighty lost without it, sir.

You can't carry a truce flag in one hand

and a weapon in the other.

That one too.

Keep it high.

When you get close enough, give 'em this.

Yes, sir.

Good luck, Sergeant.

Thank you, sir.

Looks like one of 'em wants to talk.

We got nothing to talk about.

Get on that gun fast!

Cover him.

If it's all right with you,

I'd just as soon trade back a again, sir.

Well, what do we do now, Captain?

Sir, we're just about out of ammunition for sure.

Where are the packhorses?

I saw 'em run off, Captain.

Well, they're army stock.

They'll stop at the first feed they come across,

I hope.

The men outside won't honor our truce flag.

It looks like we've got a fight coming up.

Well, don't expect any help from me, Captain.

Do you have any feed stored anywhere?

I won't be a part to any of this.

You answer might keep this roof over your head.

There's hay in the barn.

Thank you.

They'll pay us for any information, Allen,

anything they use here.

Just don't take sides, Carol.

The only side I'm taking is my own,

since you won't take it.

McLean, the lady says there's hay in the barn.

The packhorses are probably there.

Well, you heard the man.

Go out to the barn and get two cases of ammunition.

Now, wait a minute, Sergeant.

I saw what they did to you out in the open.

Man can get killed out there, you know?

In about one minute,

it's gonna be more dangerous in here

than it is out there.

Sergeant, I'll go.

You weren't ordered to go, Jensen.

I'm faster than Mclean.

Besides he's the best gunner we've got.

Sergeant, wait.

What Jensen says may make some sense.

I think Private McLean may be a little too slow at that.

All right, Jensen.

Thanks, friend.

Oh, no friend to it.

It's gonna cost you some of those gold pieces

I saw you steal.

Why, you rat.

I oughta kill ya.

I can always change my mind, friend.

Jensen, you'll be all right once you get to the barn.

Be careful.

I'll make it sir.

Attention, one of 'ems making a run for it.

Hold it.

This one's for Jimmy.

Two says he misses.

Covered.

Lucky shot.

Not for him.

For you.

See, Corey.

Them Yankees got something important in that barn.

Chances are they'll go for it again.

Get over there, take cover, and wait.

Now make sure you see what he's after

before you kill him.

Sending a man out like that wasn't very intelligent,

was it, Captain?

It was a calculated risk.

One man for all of us.

You and your gold included.

Professional soldiers aren't supposed

to make those kinds of mistakes.

We all make them, mister.

You saw Jensen get it trying to make the barn.

That ammunition is our only chance to stay alive.

McLean, Pike, by all rights, you two should've been

discharged a week ago.

And Sergeant Wade took his chances

with the white flag this morning.

I don't feel I have the right to order

any of you out there, so...

I'll make a try for the ammo.

Wade, you're in charge.

Aren't you forgetting my position here?

Your position, Mr. Loomis,

is one of a very annoying civilian.

If I don't get back, try to hold out for nightfall,

then make a run for it.

If it comes to a decision between the safety of the men

and the gold, I want you to leave the gold.

Yes, sir.

Look, Captain, you can play hero if you like,

but not with something I'm responsible for.

You heard my orders, Sergeant.

Beaker, here comes another one.

Double or nothing on this one.

Don't hit him.

No bets.

I don't know who you are, but thanks.

I'm Root, Owen Root.

Where'd you come from?

I mean before that.

Up north, Vermont.

The time between there and the hayloft, I'd rather forget.

As you like.

If you give me a hand with this ammunition,

we'll get out of here.

We?

Well, you'll be better off in the house with us.

I can see how well off you are in the house.

Suit yourself.

You're not interested in gold?

Captain, I learned if you can't eat it,

make love to it, or wear it,

forget it.

You might be right.

This is gonna be the longest short walk in the world.

Yep.

What's the food like in there?

Well, it's not much, but it's filling.

Sure hope they got pork sausage.

Come on.

Get to the barn and see what happened.

How 'bout that food, Captain?

Mrs. Prescott, would you mind?

Of course not, Captain.

You better sit down.

You don't look so good.

Who is he?

He is not our problem, Mr. Loomis.

The men outside are.

They must've killed Ives and taken his gold.

They're after the rest of it now.

All right, who are you?

Actually, sir, if you want the whole truth,

I'm a rebel spy.

Major Simon Boyd sent me here to steal your gold

and cut your throats,

but if you don't mind I would like to eat first.

Did you say Simon Boyd?

The two rebels were talking about it

when you got to the barn, Captain.

Mrs. Prescott, do you know anything about a Simon Boyd?

He was in command of a group of raiders.

He's from these parts.

How many men did he have?

Sometimes 15, 30, 40, it all depended.

Did he always operate as a military unit?

As far as I know, Captain.

Would Mr. Prescott know any more about him?

No, Boyd started his raiders after Allen went to war.

Thank you.

You about ready to tell me who you are now?

Just who are you to be asking?

I'll ask the questions.

Trouble is you keep asking the same one.

One of you gentlemen happen to have a cigar?

Sergeant Wade.

You got a match, mister?

If you really wanna know, I'm just a union soldier.

Oh?

What outfit.

14 Vermont.

Oh, the 14 Vermont.

They were wiped out at Mechanicsville in '62.

Where you been for three years?

Andersonville.

The only trouble with that death-hole prison, Mr. Loomis,

was we didn't have near enough rosy-cheeked politicians

like you as cellmates.

Well, I found 'em all right, Major.

Lee with two bullet holes in him

and Corey all cut up like a side of beef.

Lee and Corey's gold all gone too.

How come you didn't know that?

Well, I...

Listen, Major, I was just thinking, you know,

they'd come out of there mighty fast

if we just set a little fire to the roof of that house.

And we'd be sending a smoke signal to every union trooper

for 50 miles.

Well, it was just an idea.

Don't bother to have any more.

Captain, w would you help me with this sack of flour?

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Are you married?

I was.

Divorced?

No, she was killed in the bombardment at Fort Sumpter.

I'm sorry.

That's what you meant when you said

I shouldn't feel too sorry for myself.

You were feeling sorry for yourseself then.

Something like that.

She the reason you ride your men so hard?

I don't ride my men, Mrs. Prescott.

I learned early in the war

that detacachment is the oy way to get the job done.

Detachment, no personalities.

Every man is,

is just a number written neatly in a book.

All an officer has to do is follow that book.

Do you always follow the rules, Captain?

If there's one that fits.

What about us?

Is there one for us?

I have a husband who's no man at all.

And you've been too long without a wife.

What's the rule for us?

With that gold, we could buy back a lot of f lonely years.

Tell you what I'll do,

I'll give you credit on your share of the gold.

Oh, we shouldn't even think about that, McLean.

I'll lend you one to flip with.

Come in.

What is it?

I thought we might talk.

What have we got to talk about, Allen?

We are still man and wife.

I married you for one reason.

You gave me something I'd never known much of:

respect, and you had a position.

I thought that would be enough.

Carol, you can't tell me there was

never any love between us.

Don't talk about love after what happened last week.

What happened in town is no reason, it's an excuse.

You can call it what you want, but I'm leaving,

and I'm leaving with something

to make a start in the city.

I can't go on living like I've been living

for the past two years.

When you brought me here, Allen, to the plantation,

with servants and carriages.

It was like a dream.

Their war robbed me of all that.

Now their gold can pay me back.

Carol, if you try and take the money,

I'll stop you.

You'll be the last one able to stop me, Allen.

Sergeant, get McLean and Pike in off the gun.

All right, you men, inside.

The way I see it, we've got two choices,

stay and fight or give them the gold.

If we stay, we've got food and ammunition

for a day, maybe two.

But I'll leave the decision to you.

Forrest, have you forgotten...

Oh, stay out of this, Loomis.

The men will decide, they're taking the risks.

You have no guarantee that Boyd would leave

if you did give him the gold.

It's a chance, right now the only one we have.

McLean?

Well, I don't think we oughta be too anxious, Captain.

What I mean is, I don't see we should

give the rebs anything.

Pike?

- Pike. - Huh?

Answer him.

Oh, I'll go along with McLean.

Sergeant Wade?

Captain, that gold don't mean nothing to me

one way or another.

But we lost some pretty good men because of it.

I'd hate to just give it up without a little scrap.

Root, you got a stake here now.

I told you my feelings, Captain.

If you can't eat it, make love to it, or wear it,

forget it.

Well, Mr. Loomis, it looks like

we're gonna keep it for you.

Major, two riders coming up.

Blue or gray?

Can't tell.

They're kicking up too much dust.

You men separate and get your rifles out of sight.

Just relax.

What is it?

Some men coming in.

Captain, two union soldiers are at the road,

cavalry.

McLean, get in here.

We've gotta let 'em know we're here.

I'll signal to 'em.

They'd be dead before you finished, boy.

You in charge here?

Yes, sir. Major Simon Boyd, sir.

11th Georgia cavalry.

Calvary?

You like more like irregulars.

Well, Colonel, everything's been sort of irregular

in Georgia for the last couple of years.

Oh, no.

They're looking this way.

If they see that gun, boy, they'll kill 'em for sure.

Mrs. Prescott, get in here.

I'm gonna save those men for you, Captain.

Why haven't your men disbanded yet?

We're resting up, Colonel.

Then we're going into town to disband proper.

See that you do.

I'll tell the union commander to expect you.

Sure thing, Colonel.

Major, when General Crawford comes along...

General Crawford?

Yes, he'll be leading his regiment

through here in an hour or so.

Make sure that you and your men go on into town with him.

Why, yes, sir.

Colonel.

Anything wrong, ma'am?

Why, no, I'm expecting my husband home

from the war.

I saw you ride up.

It won't be long now, ma'am.

These men aren't causing you any trouble, are they?

Why, of course not, Colonel.

All southerners are gentlemen.

I leave you in safe hands then.

Good day, ma'am.

That was real smart, ma'am.

You saved their lives.

And my own, but that's not the reason I'm here.

I think we can do business together.

I think we can do business together.

I'd love to do business with you, ma'am.

How long do you think you can stay out here?

More union soldiers might happen by.

You've been lucky, but it might not last.

Keep talking.

We have plenty of ammunition and food for weeks.

I have a man in the house who can help me.

We'll take over the house and split the gold with you.

Split the gold?

Split or you stay out here.

If we take over the house, no one's to be killed.

What's stopping us from keeping you?

Now that wouldn't get you any closer

to what you want, would it?

I like your proposition, ma'am,

but if I talk them out of the money without your help,

then our deal's off.

You're welcome to try,

but you won't talk them out of anything.

I know.

Major, Major, they'll kill you for sure.

They've got honor, Yates.

Honor.

The easiest man in the world to fiddle is an honorable man.

I've come to make you a deal, Captain.

Mrs. Prescott.

Major, you know, of course, that Lee surrendered.

The war's over.

Seems I did hear a rumor something like that.

But Lee didn't surrender for us.

Now my men find themselves going home

to nothing and with nothing.

You would save us both a lot of trouble, Captain,

if you'd give up the gold.

Not a chance.

I'd surely like to take it peaceful-like.

Well, I've decided to keep it.

Well, that about ends our peace talks.

Not quite, gentlemen.

Just hold it right there, all of you.

One move and the Captain gets it.

Drop it, Sergeant.

Drop it.

Pike, cover my back.

Now hold on, McLean.

I don't want nothing to do with this.

I said just cover me.

You wouldn't let your old partner get shot in the back.

We're gonna leave here rich, Pike.

Rich.

Let me help you disarm these men, soldiers.

You just stay right where you are, Johnny Reb,

while we talk this thing out.

- Pike? - Yes, sir.

I'm coming up on the porch.

If McLean guns me, I want you to kill him.

Do you understand?

But Captain, McLean, don't do this now!

Hold on there, Captain.

This ain't Pike you're talking to.

You might miss.

I don't miss, lady.

Let me handle it.

Pike, what's all that talk behind me?

It's me, Corporal.

I'll help you for a share of that gold.

Well, well, well.

Hey, I've been watching you, lady.

You want that money even more than I, don't ya?

Huh?

Don't ya?

All right, you're in, here.

Take this and get the weapons from the men.

Pike, lower that gun!

Yes, sir.

Captain, looks like you got a little mutiny

brewing there.

My position is secured, Major.

I suggest you look at your own.

How's that, Captain?

You're 100 yards from your men, unarmed,

and you didn't come here under a white flag.

But I am unarmed, Captain.

So was the man I sent out, Major.

Then I'll just have to call you on that,

honorable Captain.

See if you're bluffing.

Oh, I've got about as much of that left

as a wolf in a henhouse.

Boyd, you're a fool to bring your men into this gun.

I think you're right, Captain.

Sergeant Wade, lock McLean up in the pantry.

Pike, you stay on that gun.

Everyone else in the house...

Mrs. Prescott, there are times I don't know

what to think of you.

Root was going to kill him.

She's got a lot more stuff in her

than that weak gutted husband of hers.

If you ever want a real man, sugar,

just give old Root the nod.

Where are you going, Mrs. Prescott?

Well, I busted his head, I thought I'd fix it.

Keep alert, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

I should've known better than to trust a woman.

Root was gonna put a knife in your back.

I needed you alive.

Look, lady, the next time...

I'll let you out tonight.

We'll take over.

What good will that do?

How we gonna get past Boyd?

I've already made a deal with Boyd.

Here.

Fix your head and next time, use it.

Forrest, how much longer are we gonna be holed up

in this place?

You know if you showed that much concern and kindness

for your husband, maybe things would work out for you.

I have no reason to try.

He must've really hurt you, huh?

Hurt?

No.

But you can't live with anyone you don't respect.

Last week a drunk mauled me and tried to kiss me.

He tore my clothes right in front of everybody.

Allen didn't raise a finger.

He said he couldn't harm another human being

after what he saw in the war,

but I'm his wife.

He should've protected me.

Any real man would've.

Well, wouldn't you have if it were your wife?

I might have, Mrs. Prescott,

but that wouldn't make me any more of a man

than your husband.

Don't mention the word man and my husband

in the same breath.

Here's Major.

Oh, Major.

Glad to see you back, sir.

Lieutenant Wilcox deserted.

Good.

That's one less to share with.

Men, if we w want that gold, we'll have to fight for it.

Major, that's gonna be kind ofof tough

with that Union army coming down the road.

Yeah, that it is.

Now we gotta g get rid of that gun.

Each of you men, put some of your spare powder

in a pile here.

Uh, not but yet.

I've got a surprise for 'em

and you'll deliver, Yates.

Root, will you help Pike on that gun?

What are you planning on doing

with your share of the gold, Ebb?

Well, first off, there's this gal in Greenfnfork.

Emmy-Lou Jean.

Well, I guess she ain't a girl any longer.

Nearly as old as me.

But all my life, I mean all my life,

I wanted to make love to that gal, Emmy-Lou Jean.

The older she gets, the fatter she gets,

the more I pine for her.

When she sees the gold bulging out of my pockets,

she's gonna give a little more mind to old Ebb,

I'll tell you that much.

At them, men.

This is for you, Emmy-Lou Jean.

Well that did it, Major.

Captain!

You've got three more minutes to come out unarmed.

Three more minutes and we're coming in.

Three more minutes and we'll all be gentlemen.

Let me alone, let me be.

Only the danged southern mosquitoes

have drank more of my blood in one setting

than I just lost.

How bad is it, Captain?

He'll live.

Sergeant, how's it going?

I'm all right, sir.

I can still use my gun if somebody can load it for me.

Sure.

Root, you all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Mr. Prescott, I know how you feel,

but there's only two of us that can ably handle a gun now.

I told you before, Captain.

I wouldn't have any part of this.

Those men outside are desperate.

They'll kill everyone in this house,

including your wife.

No, they won't harm my wife.

It's the gold they want.

I can't cover two windows and a door!

I'd say that's your problem.

I can help, Captain.

Mr. Loomis, can I have that gun?

Mrs. Prescott, would you bring McLean in here?

I wanna talk to him.

Loomis, get all the guns.

Set them by each of the windows.

We'll divide the ammunition between us.

What was that explosion?

That they got the gun with the bomb.

Pike all right?

He's hurt, but he'll be all right.

Now, remember, he gets a share of this.

Before we start dividing, let's get our hands on it.

Stay right where you are, Captain.

Sit down, Sergeant.

Get 'em up, get 'em up, get 'em up.

All right, now you, Loomis, and Root

out on the porch with your hands up, let's go.

McLean, you go through with this and I promise you...

You can only be shot once, Captain.

I was as good as dead when you locked me up.

I was going easy on you for that.

Look, Captain, nobody's gonna get hurt.

Just a few of us are gonna get richer, that's all.

Keep your hands in front of you, Root.

I tell you, she's a smart gal.

Get 'em out of here, McLean.

Boyd might get anxious and forget our deal.

You can't deal with those men, Mrs. Prescott.

They're no longer soldiers, they're murderers.

Mrs. Prescott, don't go out there with a gun,

believe me.

Well, Captain, I'm good to see this little lady

had sense enough to stop hostilities.

Why don't we all go back in the house

and get out of the sun?

Let's go.

Ebb, Samuels, look upstairs.

On the double, boy.

Yates, the rear.

All right.

Ebb, Samuels, upstairs.

Bower, Hill, the kitchen.

Well, Captain, looks like you surrendered just in time.

Get in, get in.

Major, I found this one back there, reading a Bible.

All right, you bag of bones, get over there.

Well, looks like we just lost a partner.

Let's see if we can lose a few witnesses.

I never meant for nothing like this to happen, Captain.

You all realize we have to kill you.

Major, you can't do that.

You filthy animal, you promised no one was to be killed.

A promise of a traitor isn't worth very much, Carol.

A good word, Mr. Prescott.

He's a traitor to the ideals of General Lee

and a traitor to his own men.

You finished?

Drop it, Yates, drop it!

Ebb.

You're about through murdering folks, Boyd.

You come for some whiskey money, Wilcox?

I went to look at Jimmy, to bury him.

He was shot in the back.

You were the only one behind him.

I should kill you for making a statement like that.

I loved Jimmy like a son.

You're not talking your way out of this one, Boyd.

All right, hold it there.

Root, get their guns.

They won't give you any trouble, Captain.

I'm not trying to excuse this, sir,

but Boyd tricked the men into it.

We didn't wanna fight.

Just trying to get home from the war

with a little something in our pockets.

I see.

I'd like to return my share.

Oh, Emmy-Lou Jean, you just missed

the thrill of a lifetime, baby.

- Lieutenant? - Yes, Captain.

Put these men in your custody.

See that they get into town and disband quietly.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to say for all of us,

thank you.

Pike, can you walk?

Yes, sir.

Sergeant Wade, take care of him.

Yes, sir.

There's one more thing.

Seems a few pieces are still missing.

Get 'em up.

Captain, why don't you make a note at court martial

that I gave back my gold voluntarily?

Souvenir.

Well, Mr. Loomis, that should just about

make you even.

It's about as senseless to apologize

for breaking in here as to apologize for the war,

but I am sorry and I wish you the best.

Carol.

After all I've done, Allen,

we haven't a chance.

Our chance is just as good as theirs.
