JULY, 1863.

THE CIVIL WAR CONTINUES IN VIRGINIA BUT MISSISSIPPI IS IN THE UNION'S HANDS

AND LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS AND TEXAS HAVE ALL BEEN SEPARATED

FROM THE REST OF THE CONFEDERATION TERRITORY.

THERE IS A GROUP OF CONFEDERATE TROOPS THAT, SO FAR, HAVE NOT BEEN LOCATED

BY THE ENEMY, AND THEY ARE NOW ATTEMPTING TO FLEE INTO MEXICO.

Everybody, out of the stage!

Don'i take any risks, Miss Nelly. I um Muior Forsyihe.

You will have to stay in Wichita Pass

and work in the saloon until you hear from us. Did you understand?

Don't worry, everything will be OK.

You will pay dearly for this.

Do you know him?

No.

I think you do. He is Maior Forsythe.

Take your things with you and consider yourself under arrest, Miss.

I want to find out who you are.

Those damn Confederates are everywhere

and nobody knows where they are hiding.

Can we please keep going?

It's lute and we are doing nothing here. Everybody has died.

Nice seeing you, gentlemen.

I won't hide that I was starting to be u bit worried in view of your delay.

Did you have any problems?

Yes, General. I had to hide with my platoon to ovoid being located by Union troops.

And you, Major?

Bringing the cannons with us slowed us down. l1 was hard work.

Well, I hope you brought them all.

I feel a bit nervous without the cannons,

probably because I've always been in Artillery.

Well, we are clll here with our weapons, our wagons and our scarce supplies.

This is our position.

We are located between two Union military detachments, which control this valley.

The 5th Cavalry Regiment in Fort Worth, and the 7th in Wichita Pass.

We are out of their sight in this forest, but the area is controlled by Union troops.

What's left of our Army is fighting in Virginia with General Lee.

Unfortunately, we are unable to ioin him.

Maybe a different Army would have surrendered by now, but not us.

Had we ever considered thui possibility, ihe Union troops would have won ihe war

in one month, as they ouinumber us.

However, if our moral remains high, I know they will lose in ihe end.

OK, gentlemen, as I was telling you we iust have to...

cross the Mexican border and make an alliance with ihe Emperor

to keep fighiing this wclr. - That's it, General.

General, Maximilian could have helped General Lee, but he didn't.

Things have changed. Europe is far away, and Juarez is managing to isolate him.

We are his only friends in America.

Unfortunately, this is the only way to reach Mexico...

between Wichita Pass and Fort Worth.

The Union troops stationed in that urea

are no more and no less than ihe 51h and 7th Cavalry Regiments.

Due to their locations, it is almost impossible to cross

without suffering maior casualties.

I think that we could pass if we attack them by surprise with artillery support.

That's only one possibility, Quuntrill.

One thing is for sure: The moment they spot us,

all the Northern troops stationed in Texas will be after us. That would be our end.

I intend to reach Mexico with cm army instead of with a military hospital.

This is the first requirement 1o deal with Maximilian.

Then I don't undersicmd, General. You brought us to this place.

And I will take all of you to Mexico!

But I will do thclt without having one single casualty.

You may have noticed that there is an Apache tribe stationed nearby Fort Worth.

If they are skillfully guided,

we won't have to fighi ihe 51h and 7th Cavalry Regiments.

They would destroy the enemy's stations.

Once the Indians have massacred the Union troops,

we could quickly slide into Mexico wiihoui any interference.

The first clficlck will be here, in ihe village by the fort.

That urea is protected by the 5th Cavalry Regiment.

And who will guide the Apaches?

- It will be Colonel Bonnet. - An excellent choice, General.

I think so, too.

Once you attack the village, the 5th Regiment will have to leave the tort.

True. This way, they will full in our trap.

We will destroy the 5th Regiment and we'll make sure the news reaches Wichita Puss.

Then, the 7th will have to come here to secure the fort.

We will also destroy them. This is Wild Horse's promise.

The Emperor of Mexico will reward you for that.

This land will be yours forever

and your dream of being the Chief of all the Apache tribes will become true.

Yes, ihey will declare me Grand Chief.

Come with me.

This is the best rifle that was ever made

and each of your warriors will have one.

Here...

No Apache Chief has ever had a rifle like this one.

Squadron... Forwauurd, march!

All is taking place they way you forecusted.

Today, I will win a big victory.

Just remember you must surround them so that nobody can escape.

Don't worry. Wild Horse wants peace, but peace ufier victory.

All ihis land you can see will be mine

and I swear that white men will die if they trespass.

Gentlemen, get the troops ready. We will attack the tort.

Did you tell headquarters?

Yes...

Nq!

Come in.

General, the Indians have attacked Fort Worth.

The telegraph operator managed to send this message.

They are requesting reinforcements.

Thufs strange. Something very serious must have happened.

We should send the 7th Cavalry Regiment.

But then Wichita Puss will be unprotected! - There is no other way.

Those damned lndicms sign peclce treaties and then they break them.

But we'll teach them a lesson!

Tell Col Maxwell and Major Shane to report immediately.

And give the pertinent orders for the 7th to be ready for departure.

Yes, General.

I must speak to Col. Maxwell.

Come in.

The General wants to see you.

Is there any news?

The 7th will be depuriing on a mission, Colonel. To Fort Worth.

Very good.

I'm sorry, Sir, but nobody told me you were coming.

Noi even iuil ccm mclke you lose your sense of humour. You haven't changed.

I do what I can.

Hurry up, get your belongings and leave. You are free and discharged from the Army.

Finally, I'll be a civilian once again.

That won't happen until 4 PM, which is when your commitment ends.

Don'i worry, time will fly. A card's game, two dolls by my side

cmd it will be 4 PM before I realize. - You will never change.

Won't you regret leaving the rank of Captain and the military?

Well, you come from a family with military tradition, so you won't understand.

I became an officer because my father, the Senator,

wanted one of his sons to ioin ihe Military.

Sugar, you must leave the wcllls the way you found them.

But Sum, that's all the companionship I was allowed.

They can stay here for the next guy.

OK...

Goodbye, my dear dolls.

I will find some better ones, but ihey won't be as beautiiul,

as sweet or as quiet as you were.

There is nothing more important for you than women, huh?

Of course, that's the best thing for anyone who feels lonely.

Things clre different for you. You have ideals, but I left mine to my fafher.

Bui sometimes I wonder if he ever had any ideals himself.

And to have fun, the best thing you could do

was facing a court mclriiul for insubordinuiion.

You see, thui was an excellent opportunity.

A demotion from Captain to Sergeant, one month in prison,

and at 4 PM I will be free 1o go wherever I want, with anyone I want,

withoui having to think which foot has to move first.

You have forgotten u doll.

No, please. That would be a crime.

Unfortunately it has to be, it doesn't help anything.

No, I can't wipe her away.

Not even the cruelest hungmcm would have ihe courage to do that.

Maior Shane, the General wants to see you immediately.

Thank you.

See? He is ihe right type for the Army.

He is an excellent officer.

Yes, bui he is also Cl bore. An officer...

We'll talk again before you leave. See you later.

I'll wclii for you playing curds. And if I happen to find two good...

specimens, I'll save one for you.

Hclve you forgotten that the military are not allowed in taverns?

Can't talk to you, you are all virtues. You will end in History, like George Washington.

So you don't like my paintings. You find them repulsive, don't you?

So if one night you were to meet one of those beauties

your military duty would be first, huh? - People like you should be...

Hey, show some respect. Wait a minute.

Let us forget about ranks.

I'm going to miss you u lot.

Mosi likely, it was Wild Horse the one who curried ihe attacked.

He is the mosi ambitious of all the Apache chiefs.

Most likely, he has cl large number of warriors.

So fur, the proximity of the fort dissuaded him from starting a war.

Shane, I'm afraid this is going to complicate matters.

Col. Maxwell, you will depart immediately with the 7th.

You will take with you Mclior Shane and Lieutenant Webb.

Down here, we iust need a few men. There are no Indians, and war is far away.

Gentlemen, I hclve nothing more to add. Good luck.

Mclior Shane... the rest of you are dismissed, thank you.

What about former Captain Patterson?

I didn't hold you here to ask you that question.

I wanted to tell you that... you know I fully trust you.

Thank you, General.

I hope to see you buck soon.

Hey, give me a bottle. Of ihe best one.

Excuse me, Sergeant, but the Military are no1 allowed in here.

Sorry to contradict you, my good mun. My clothes must have confused you.

What do you mean? - It's the latest fashion,

from Boston's best tailor. Dalton Brayn. Do you know him?

But I will gei changed iust to please you. I have been discharged.

Well, this doesn't look like a uniform, does it?

Is it OK now?

That's fine.

Hey, I'm looking for someone who knows how to play.

He must be cl good player, otherwise I become bored to death.

I um ready, but first let's see your money.

Is that enough?

Hey Sergeant, did you clean the forfs safe prior to leaving?

That's my pay. You should have seen what I was making when I was a Captain.

If you keep going at this pace, how high are you going to make it?

Maybe I will become a governor, or a senator.

Being as cheeky CIS you are, I have no doubt you will make it.

You are very observant, and I like you. You are my type, don't go too for.

If I win, I will buy you... iust u minute...

Here is a cash advance for your piggy bunk.

I do this whenever I play cards. It brings me luck.

Nelly, if you don'i go close to the gamblers, the boss will be angry at you.

I'd rclther see him angry thcm having to put up with the dirty iokes from those drunks.

As you wish.

Hey, if you have a sister or Cl girlfriend as prefiy as you are,

ihey are invited to ioin us.

You know? Your system to attract luck seems to be working.

Hey, beautiful, come here!

- C'mon, play. - Just a moment.

My friend, you wouldn't hii a lady, will you?

I knew that Union officers are real gentlemen.

You've realized I'm not like him, haven't you?

Wasn't enough for you to take all my money?

And don't you ever come buck, or i1 will be worse next time!

Ii seems than Sgt. Patterson is finally enioying himself.

Have you forgotten that attacking a serviceman carries a severe punishment?

I'm sorry, Muior, bui he told me he was no longer a servicemun.

You liar. Didn't you see my uniform?

Don't you ever do that again.

You come with us, Sergeant. Come on, let's go.

You did right, Sam. I am still in the Army.

Precisely. Therefore, mount and ioin us.

Sure. Where are we going?

To Fort Worth. Ii has been attacked by the Indians.

I'm glad to see thui your sense of humour has improved,

but remember that I will be discharged in 3 hours.

Right. In 3 hours you will be free to leclve, but now you have to come with us.

Our orders are thui the whole Regiment must go.

I can laugh if you wish, but I don't find this funny.

Let's not wclste time. This is an urgent mission.

Sergeant, I wanted 1o thunk you... for defending me in the saloon.

It was my duty, miss. And between you and I, i1 was the right moment to leave ihe game.

Good luck, Mclior. - Thank you.

Miss?

You have lost your military scarf, Sergeant. You will be punished for that.

With pleasure, Lieutenant. I will gladly spend my lust hour of service in iail.

Stop saying nonsense. Let's go.

This watch is a pain. It has stopped.

All in order, Sir.

Very well, Lieutenant. Could you tell me what time is it?

L1 is exactly 03:40 PM.

I told you.

The young Lieuienuni is us charming as usual.

He would be a great officer if he was a bit more... human.

If he wasn't so attached to the rules, Sam. But that would be too much for him.

Say what you want, but he is a good officer anyway.

It may be so, but he is driving me nuts.

While I was Captain, I observed him for months. He is never wrong.

This is unreal, it is not human.

And now, he is taking revenge.

He can't cmy longer. The sun is telling me that I already um a civilian.

Goodbye

and I would like to CISk you something: Give those Indians a good beating.

Why don't you stay with us? You would be very helpiul.

You are a bit crazy, but you are cm excellent shooter.

My gun is going to become moldy from now on.

One more thing, Sum. No doubt that my father will mention

my lust operation during his next electoral campaign, so you better win.

Now, I'm going to say goodbye 1o the old man.

My time in the Army is over, Colonel.

With your permission, I would like to leave the Regiment.

Goodbye, Mr. Patterson. And good luck.

Thank you. I wish you the same.

My time is over, Lieutenant.

Goodbye, former Sergeant Patterson.

Whclt's going on with you? Have you forgotten something?

No. I iust thought i1 wusn'i right to leave all of you alone.

You are better than you think.

I believe this is my duty. Let's leave it that way.

On the contrary, that is cl nice gesture on your side.

Sum, please forget about it.

Muior, two Apaches are following us.

I tried 1o stay away from the rest of you, but they came behind me.

Don't know if Sgt. Patterson did inform you. I suppose they have also followed him.

Thank you, Lieutenant. But there is no need to inform the Colonel.

Just keep cm eye on them. - Yes, Maior.

Did you see? Our Lieutenant is always vigilant.

But this time, he finally made a mistake.

These upuches do not belong to Wild Horse's tribe. They have saddles on their horses.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

And I seldom make mistakes regarding matters like this one.

Strange... that's very strange.

The whole 7th Cavalry Regiment is coming. Your forecast was accurate, Colonel.

So accurate that I had the message ready.

We'll report the good news to our friends.

They are becoming impcnieni to cross the valley.

The plan should succeed.

It MUST succeed. We hclve to take into consideration any possible sources of error.

Including anything thui we haven't forecasted.

The risk of being discovered by the enemy increases every day.

Colonel, I should curry an inspection before ihe soldiers enter the fort.

Very well, Maior.

You two, come with me.

Keep going.

Let the Colonel know that all is clear.

Hey, you, go tell the Colonel!

Too clear, I would say.

Those Indians were very meiiculous.

Yes... very strange Indians, indeed.

The 7th Cavalry Regiment has left Wichita Pass and it's galloping towards Fort Worth.

They fell in Col. Bonnefs trap.

With your permission, I will inform the soldiers.

Some are becoming a bit disheartened.

The plan must still remain secret.

Don't worry about the men, they are all veterans and I fully irust them.

Even the most courageous may become used not to fight.

Let us demolish the last obstacle.

Soldiers' morale is no1 lifted by fighting useless battles.

That may be so, but I would prefer that this victory would be obtained

by our soldiers, rather than by a group of savages.

Come in.

We iusi cclme from the village. Nobody has been left alive.

The 5th Regiment must have been ambushed, Colonel.

Will these killings ever end?

After a few...

Afler spending a few months CIS Military Stuff, people become weak as dumsels.

It has been a hard trek, Sir.

We will attack the Apaches at dawn. Give the orders, Maior.

With your permission, I suggest we should first study the situation.

It seems strange to me that the Indians dared to attack us.

It won't be the first time. It could have been an Indian chief

longing the times when they owned this urea.

The nature of the attacks reveals a very unusual strategy.

Gentlemen, you will notice soon that those unusual circumstances

are not as unusual as they seem.

Follow the order, Maior.

Do you think this was done by Wild Horse's Apaches?

I have no doubts, even if I didn't know that the Colonel is also sure.

Ancl he knows the Indians better than anyone else.

They never respect any treaties.

Attention! The Maior!

You artists are always surrounded by beauiiiul women, huh?

You are a good skeicher, but that's all.

Sugar, I must talk to you.

I hope it's about women. Because if it is about military stuff,

then I am not interested. I am a civilian, don't you realize that?

Then take off your uniform and ride buck to town in long iohns.

I'll ride buck to town tomorrow morning, Sum,

bui it won't be wearing iust long iohns. I still keep my sense of decency.

Come on, shoot.

It's clboui surveying the Indian village. Tonight.

Hey, I managed to save my life while in the military, and you expect me

1o get killed as Cl civilian? You should have your head examined.

You are right. I'll take Lieutenant Webb with me.

He is the perfect guy for the iob.

He is a good, courageous officer.

Yes, and he gets paid to risk his skin.

That settles the matter.

Are you going to sketch blondes or brunettes?

These ones will be redheaded.

I would like to see you sneaking into the Indian village at night,

together wiih that discipline-obsessed officer.

Sure, but he does i1 to get u promotion.

You know? As long as I clm here, he won't get any promotions if I can prevent it.

If I can't stand him as a Lieutenant, imagine if he ever became a Captain.

Come, let's go.

You stay here and cover me.

So, if you are in danger, cull me imitating an owl's sound.

Hey, Sum, whui if you are the one who is in danger?

Then I will sing like a swan.

This time you almost made me laugh.

Remove that white hut from your head. Let's go.

Eeeeeh...

Who is this?

My ficmcé.

But I don't mind.

Yes, I've noticed that.

Are you soldier?

Yes... eh... no, no, no.

A Pmspector?

- Yes, thufs ii. - Looking for gold?

Gold, women, anything.

Now you are my fiuncé.

Yes, of course, now you need a new one.

What is your name?

Archibald Timothy Patterson, but my friends call me Sugar.

My name is Amanda.

OK, wait here and don't move.

Butflll

Did you find what you were looking for, Sum?

All went well. And you?

Same here, I only found two Indians. One of them has a broken skull.

Good iob, my friend. You could become a good serviceman.

What happened to the other Indian?

Thank you, Sum. Did you know I like this type of missions? When will be the next one?

You haven't answered my question. What about the other Indian?

One more thing, Sugar. I don't want to see you close to the village, OK?

Sure.

And you couldn't stop him?

Ii was two of them. One had a gun and the other had a hummer.

They must suspeci something to come all the way here.

That could put our mission in ieopurdy.

You must clct with the wisdom and strength of a Grand Chief.

Wild Horse's tribe has nothing to do with the attack.

There are no sculps in their tents, and they only have old style rifles.

The clficlck musi have been curried by Indians from far away tribes,

and the attackers must have already left this area.

This will make our iob easier.

With the current situation, we could get horse whisperers to come to Fort Worth.

The Army always needs horses, and many herds have been seen in this urea.

We must not waste any time.

This is not the time to request horse whisperers.

The situation is still unclear.

But Colonel...

I will decide when we will call them in.

Tonighi you have given once again proof of your courage, Patterson.

If you were Cl servicemcm, I would propose you for a medal.

Well, I wouldn't object to u gold medal.

A group of Indians is coming.

They curry a white flag.

Chief of the white men!

Listen, chief of the white men.

Wild Horse is cl loyal friend of the white men.

Wild Horse brings chiefs of tribes who killed your brothers.

And will curry iustice in front of you.

This is my justice.

You were right, Muior. Hudn'? I followed your advice,

I would have attacked Wild Horse, and I would have been wrong.

Now, we can call in ihe horse whisperers.

We will send a message to Headquarters, Colonel.

Unfortunately, the telegraph doesn't work.

With the Colonel's permission, I will deliver the message.

Sure, why not, Mr. Patterson?

This will be your lcls1 mission in the Army. Thank you very much for volunteering.

You are welcome. If civilians didn't cooperate with the Military,

then how could my father enioy his comfortable chair in Washington?

Lieutenant, make arrangements to bury those dead Indians.

Well, Doctor. What about your theory regarding the Indians' loyalty?

I haven't changed my mind. However, we are at war,

and cull theories lose validity in ihe presence of death.

Yes, you are right.

In the presence of death.

Don't forget it, Sugar. You musi hand deliver the message to General Sherman.

Don't worry, Sam.

This time I think we will take longer to see each other again.

Why? If things have calmed down, you could all go back.

- Sugar... - Yes?

Good luck.

Same to you, Sam. Have fun.

I left for you a couple of girls in my room,

so that you remember that there are more things in lite than the Military.

See how loycll are those Indians? They don't mess around with their traiiors.

Yes. But sometimes they don't mess around with their allies, either.

Here they are.

And no saddles.

What could they want from me?

I could tell them that my fiuncée is an Indian, but...

I better tell them we are getting married.

It seems that they want to play.

Well, if they wcmt to play... then let's play.

Umku!

Umku...

They've killed him!

My brother was u friend of the white men.

Wild Horse is a murderer!

What's going on?

Wild Horse is a murderer!

- What does this woman want? - She says this Indian was her broiher.

Get her out of here! She belongs to u race of traitors!

Do you know Sugar?

Sugar? He is in Wichita Puss.

In Wichita Puss? How can I find him?

Wait by the tuvern's door! He will go there sooner or later.

Look in the saddle.

Here it is, Colonel.

Very well

as I thought it would happen.

Put it back where you found it.

And now, the best thing we can do is to facilitate his escape. OK?

Yes, sure.

After spending so much time with the Indians, I can throw a knife better than they do.

And why would he want to kill him?

I think he must have been the one who stole his ficmcée.

The lust thing we need is a lover's dispute.

A lovers' dispute will make our mission more difficult.

I have cm urgent message for the General!

Sugar...

SUQqr!

SUQqr!

Maior Shane says your assistance has been invaluable, Patterson.

With a bit of good will, you could recover the Cup1clin's rank.

General, it took to me 3 years to go from Captain to Sergeant.

And it took a lot of effort. Do you expect me to start all over again?

I am already a civilian... Well, I won't take any more of your time.

The message is coded. Please call Lieutenant Brown, and also the Wagon Master.

Sugar! Sugar...

Hey, where do you come from?

Now you are my ficmcé... and my broiher.

I um your fiuncé, but not your brother. If we are siblings, then it will be all over.

No, I will be always with you.

Wild Horse took my brother to soldiers, then he killed him.

Your brother deserved to die!

He killed the settlers!

This is not true! White mcm ordered White Horse to kill settlers.

Which white man?

A mcm named Colonel, who orders all of you to be killed.

What are you talking about, Amanda? - It's the truth.

Great white man is very important.

He gives orders to White Horse warriors, and also to warriors from other tribes.

I must warn the General immediately.

Where are you going? I don't want to be alone.

I don't like that, either. But this is u very serious mutter.

Try 1o undersicmd. As a servicemen, I have a duty to fulfill.

You are very pretty, and it saddens me to leave you now.

We'll see each oiher soon.

Have you seen great white mun?

Yes, mcmy times. - Where?

On the hills by Fort Worth.

Are you going to go to him?

No. I wcmt to go to Fori Worth to be with my fiancé.

You may come in my wagon.

A wagon trclin is about to leave on that direction.

Do you want to come? - Yes, I go.

Let's go.

Halt, civilian! Where are you going?

Stop here!

I must speak to the General. It's urgent.

The General does not give audiences to civilians.

I am his friend. Get out of the way.

My orders are not to let anyone in! Get out!

I um telling you for lust time... oh, I'm wasting my time!

Guys, don't be stupid. Tell me where the General is.

The General has left.

Who do you have there?

I know that guy. Lock him up!

Shut up, you idiot.

Go on, lock him up.

Let go of me! Lei me go!

You come with us now.

I have an important message, you will regret this!

Didn't I tell you that you couldn'1ioin us?

I must arrive to Forfs village. I have a contract to fulfill.

My orders are to drive u maximum of 20 wagons.

If you wont, you ccm go on your own, but not with my wagon train.

And if you are attacked by the Indians, you will be on your own.

Wagons, Ho!

If they find out I have cm Indian girlfriend, I will have nothing to worry about.

GiddyvP!

Hey, Corporal, you goflu help me, buddy.

Listen, I really need to get out of here. It's very important.

You must...

Look here, Corporal.

If this cuie doll here was nice to you, would you let me out?

She has grown well and she is really generous.

Well, how do you like her?

Sugar! Did you come to see your Amanda?

How dare you to travel alone?

They did not let us to ioin the wagon train, so...

Luckily, the trip is cllmost over. You have been in great danger

Didn't you ever think you could have had u bud encounter?

We go to Worth.

Why don'i you escori us to the fort? Afterwards, we could continue on our own.

Tie your horse to ihe wagon and ioin us.

Very well.

Tell me, is he a civilian or a servicemen?

A bit of each. Me not fully understand yet.

Mqy l?

Yes.

Don't worry, I am quite slim.

GiddYUP'

What will you do once you arrive to the village, Miss?

I um u singer and I hope to find fortune.

I have been told that there is an abundance of wealth in that area.

I only have noticed an abundance of bullets and arrows.

If you have to work in places like that, I don't envy you.

And what is your profession?

- I... - He my fiancé.

Yes, ihufs right. My profession is fiancé.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

All women have ihe some obsession.

They iust think of trying to look beautiful.

Does she also curry a bathtub in ihe wagon?

Or is she changing her dress?

Wouh!

Miss?

Well, that is a surprise.

Sugar...

So you cure a singer, huh? Now you will "sing" for me.

Leave me alone!

Mind your own business.

This is also my business.

And even if I have to become again a Captain, I want to find out everything.

Amanda, we'll see each other at the fort.

Don't try anything stupid... You, keep cm eye on her.

Sam, the settlers are heading towards a lethal trap.

Wild Horse will slaughter them, some us he did before.

I iust found that Cl white mun is leading them.

You came buck to tell me that?

Don't you think it's something important?

We already knew that.

And I um so stupid thclt came clll the way, under the scorching sun, to let you know!

Damn! Couldn't you have told me before I left?

I could no1 reveal military secrets to you.

Secrets?

Remember that you are iust a civilian.

There is more. That girl, Nelly, she is a spy for ihe Indians.

You also knew thclt, I suppose. - How could you suggest such u thing?

The moment she saw the fort, she stole my horse

and tried to run towards the Indian village.

Where were you trying to go?

Nowhere. I was iust going for a ride.

Sure, iust going for Cl ride... So she is culling me a liar.

I beg you, Muior Shane. Please let me go to the village.

You will go another day, Miss.

Now, come with me.

Is she always going with you?

Why do you cure?

I do cure because, if there is a spy around here, that's probably her.

Come with me.

Here I am, Sugar.

Listen. Did you know that you are a spy?

Yes. If thclt means thclt I love you, then I um one.

Yes, that's what it means.

What are you doing, Sugar?

Enough of the Army! I'm tired of wearing even the buttons of this uniform.

Are you going to make a public performance?

Let's go.

What's the mutter, Major? ls the quesiioning still going on?

Of course. Ii will be over when you tell us the real reason why you came to our village.

Sure, I will repeat it. I clm cl singer and I have been offered a lucrative contract.

If you are a singer, why don't you prove i1 by performing for my soldiers?

Because I don't intend to remain here.

I'm sorry, but you will remain here for us long as I deem i1 necessary.

I know officers who are for more courteous with ladies than you are.

I believe it. Ancl it's not difficult to guess to which army they belong.

You will sleep here with your Indian friend.

Does this mean that you are in love with me?

Hey...

What are you doing ihis way?

As you seem, I um watching ihe girl.

Put your pants on!

No way, Major. With your permission, I refuse.

Did you already forget that I um a civilian?

You must leave the premises. This room is for officers.

As former Captain, I ihink I can stay.

There is no other room where the ladies can sleep.

I'm sure you will gladly let them have ihis one.

You see, I didn't expect...

C'mon, don't be rude with the ladies.

I suggest you keep cl close eye on that one, or she will escape. I could do it...

OK then.

You will watch them, but from outside.

Hey, at least let me get my belongings.

- Do you know how to plcly guitar? - A lifile bit.

- Would you like 1o help me? - Yes.

Come here. It is not difficult.

You only have to hold your fingers correctly.

So, watch this.

Now try ii.

There are many women.

Yes. Unfortunately, they don't know what's awaiting them.

Everything is ready in the village as you ordered, Sir.

Bui personally, I think we have gone a bit overboard.

I'm talking about ihe women's issue.

That's fine.

Keep playing.

Take these horses to drink.

Why do you wcmi to leave? Don't you enioy our presence?

I beg you, Mclior. Let me keep going my way.

You must believe me. I clm no threat to you or to your soldiers.

We are in an alert state, Miss. I um doing my iob as a servicemcm.

What are you going to do with u poor girl like me?

You are cl gentleman, and your duty is to help me.

Listen, Miss, I really would like to help you.

But before that, you must cooperate.

Why won't you tell me the truth?

But I'm telling you the truth. I'm begging you, please trust me.

I am no heroine, I'm iusi a woman.

Where are you coming from? Who are you?

Please, don't ask me anymore!

Then, don't you ask me again to set you free.

Excuse me, please. I am exhausted. I no longer realize what I am doing.

I um of a different opinion.

Please return to your room, Miss.

Hey, is that how you wake up people?

Where are the prisoners?

They are still in...

Where does she come from?

Ah...

Hello.

She is smarter than I ihought. Nice way of escaping.

I'll keep that in mind.

Come here and listen.

We'll do it like lust time, the warriors split into two groups.

The first one, commanded by Wild Horse, will attack the village.

You, lieuienuni, will go with this group.

You will attack at dawn, but before that a group of warriors

will have sneaked silently into ihe village.

Then I, with the second group,

will wait until the regiment leaves the tort, then will attack them from the rear.

Lieutenant Davis, you will come with me.

Any objections?

No, no obiections.

This plan worked very well lust time

and all indications are that this time will also work, Colonel.

OK then.

OK.

Excuse me, Major, but I um going 1o leave you.

I have an appointment I cannot miss.

Please, Colonel, don't make any efforts.

Let me go on, please.

Have you ever witness an Indian Chief's death?

Shortly before the, let's say, trip... all dancing stops suddenly

and ihere is a big silence.

Just like now.

Those kind of thoughts will go away once you have some rest.

Try to understand what I um trying to tell you.

Be prepared to take over command, Maior.

What is the current situation?

The new settlers are in the village, and soon they will start working.

All is going well, Sir.

You are fhe besf ussisfclnf I've ever had. A perfect officer.

For you, things are always OK.

Our duty is quite strange.

We clll make war, but none of us enioys ii.

And since we have no choice but fighting, we have to make it as humane as possible.

I think...

Tell me, Muior, I'm listening.

I think...

Present... arms!

Maior, the village is being attacked!

Don't move. Present arms!

Nobody moves!

Major! They are going to kill all of them!

Stay where you are! I know what to do!

Attention, squadron! Order arms!

The Lord, your God, will set you free from slavery.

He will have mercy of you

and he will take you buck from where you were expelled.

Damned Indians!

Careful!

Why are they not leaving ihe fort?

The Lord has blessed me.

He saved my soul from Death and freed my eyes from tears.

Amen.

71h Cavalry Regiment... on your horses!

You two, go inside.

You will stay here to protect the girls.

Nobody does anything without me saying so!

Listen to my orders!

Squadron... Forwauurd, march!

Let's go.

One day I will show you what I can do.

Yeah.

Hey, Lieutenant. Look a this, Webb. More Indians are coming.

Yeah.

Is that all you can say? 'Yeah'?

The 71h is in danger. We must warn them.

They can't see anything from where they are. Here...

This is not a civilicm's concern.

Don't you understand that those Indians will attack them by the rear? I will warn them.

Stop! You won't go anywhere!

If you move from here I will fill your body with lead. You've heard ihe Maior's orders!

OK, Lieutenant.

Sum! Sum! The Indians!

There is another group of Indians trying to attack the Regiment by the rear! Sum!

Split into two groups!

Amanda, I must go immediately to the combat zone.

Perhaps ihis would be my lust chance.

To do what?

To find the person I um looking for.

Could you help me?

Yes.

Surrender!

You traitor!

You have destroyed all my people!

They are all dead, damn you!

I would have preferred to die at your hands.

I'm sorry that we fought on opposite sides.

However, I wanted you cllive. I wanted to know who you were.

When you return to Wichita Pass,

if you find a blond girl wiih an angel face named Nelly,

tell her...

that her father...

Colonel Bonnet, is...

THE MISSION HAS FAILED.

Is that him?

But you knew him...

Since we both were liflle.

Give me the water.

SUQqr!

SUQqr!

This one had discovered our trick. He also disguised himseli as u woman.

Amanda!

Amanda...

Come with me.

Sugar, I wanted to tell you many things.

You can tell me later. We have a whole life together ahead of us.

Lei me tell you iusi one: I love you...

I love you.

I love you, too. I'm in love with you.

Let's go.

Miss Bonnet...

How do you know my name?

Your father told me.

Where is he?

Is he dead?

This was his.

Ccllm down. Like clll others, ihis is a senseless war.

We have to live in this era, whether we like it or not.

Our children will never understand the reasons for all this destruction.

And maybe one day...

in the middle of so much suffering, something big and everlasting will be born...

and our sacrifices won't have been be in vain.

You...

Are you going to leave?

I haven't decided yet, but some times I think the General was right.

Maybe I should start again,

from Sergeant to Lieutenant, then to Captain, and then... who knows?
