(Train whistle blowing)

(Theme music playing)

Man: All in.

Attention!

All right, you
mud-footed lintheads.

We're gonna welcome
general sherman like soldiers.

And we're gonna
keep the ranks straight.

Stay in step.

All right, left face.

Right shoulder, hold!

Forward, ho!

Left!

Left! Wanna take a look, Wade?

Sure. Left!

Left!

Half left!

Left!

I never saw anything
like that before.

Uh, today the bps&d

is gonna turn this little
crossroads wood stop upside down.

Barnabas, now they'll
come out right side up.

Would you like one
when they're developed?

Oh, yeah, a picture of
general sherman? Mmm-hmm.

Hey, maybe we could get
one of the troops too, huh?

Sure, I'll make up
an extra print for you.

Hey, do you think general
sherman will make a speech today?

Uh, just a short one.

He'll only stop in pikesville
for a minute or two.

Amelia: Wade.

Come on. He's not
bothering us, ma'am.

I run a business, Mr. Tarrant.

Not a backdrop for a carnival.

Wade earns his
money by doing chores,

not watching the sights.

All right, I need somebody to
carry around some equipment.

The job pays two bits an hour.

Think you can handle it, Wade?

Sure, sure I can.

You're a corrupting influence.

You mind if I corrupt you
as well, miss Henderson?

I've got to test my camera and
you'd make a mighty pretty subject.

(Horses galloping)

Now, don't worry, weezy.

You look real pretty.

Just remember, you
speak loud and clear

so the general can hear you.

And stand up nice
and straight, huh?

And smile.

You're here to see the general?

Indeed we are, ma'am.

I must apologize
for interrupting.

Oh, Mary Louise
was just about to

practice her poem.
Would you like to hear it?

I'd be happy to, ma'am.

Weezy, recite your
poem for the gentleman.

"Then kennesaw,
dark in its glory,

"frowned down on
the flag of the free,

"but the east and the
west bore our standards,

"as, as..."

"As sherman marched
down to the sea.

"Still onward we
pressed, till our banners

"swept out from
Atlanta's grim walls,

"and the blood of
the patriot dampened

"the soil where
the traitor flag falls"

why, you remember
that just fine, mister.

All my kinfolks have
good memory, sir.

Will.

(Guns cocking)

What is this, a robbery?

No, son.

It is an execution.

The crowds.

Famous man, general.

One more civic luncheon and
I'm gonna develop a famous case

of indigestion, Mr. Calhoun.

Where is the next ambush?

Uh, it's a little crossroads
here called pikesville.

Well, I imagine they'll have a
mayor, a band, a ladies auxiliary.

And a hot fried lunch.

(Laughs) Maybe,
but I don't think so.

It's just a little village, maybe a
dozen families. Shouldn't be bad at all.

Hmm. Thank you.

Have a seat.

That's all of them, cousin Hugh.

Hugh: Good. Will.

Would you ask everybody

to step to the other
side of the tracks?

I'd be obliged for
your understanding,

gentlemen and ladies.

Permit me to introduce myself.

I'm captain Hugh sinclair.

Army of the confederacy.

And my company,

Willie sinclair,

Jamie sinclair,

Lou sinclair.

Pleased to know you all.

And Jess.

Now, who owns this store?

I do.

Amelia Henderson.

Miss Henderson.

Pardon my haste but
please understand.

I want all your guns
and ammunition.

Lou, you escort the
lady to her supply room.

The lady will
suffer no insult, sir.

I promise, no harm
will come to any of you.

Unless you create trouble.

Sergeant, I'm asking
for your cooperation.

Well, you got a long wait, reb.

Don't you care
about these people?

Yeah, I care.

Then why are you
risking their lives this way?

All right. Do as he says.

I don't have none.

I don't carry a gun.

Then you won't mind
if we check that, sir.

I must apologize for
doubting your word, Mr...

Tarrant. Dave tarrant.

Of the bps&d? That's right.

Excellent. You'll prove
most useful, Mr. Tarrant.

I'm obliged to remind
you all of the rules of war.

Anyone caught with a weapon while
this town is occupied, will be shot.

Just how long do you plan
to occupy this town, sir?

We shall leave at a quarter
past 3:00 this afternoon.

What's supposed to happen then?

At that time, sergeant,
general sherman will be dead.

I thank you kindly, ma'am.

You are stealing my property.

You don't have to be polite.

It' a military necessity.

You are trying to shame
me, miss Henderson.

You can't. We're gonna
execute a man that deserves it.

And there ain't
nothing gonna stop us.

Your pardon.

(Footsteps approaching)

Give me that. Amy, they've
got the whole town hostage.

If I could just get a
drop on that sinclair.

Yes, yes, yes, of course, you could get
yourself killed and some other people, too.

(Sighs) What are you gonna do?

Something sensible.

Amelia: Mr. Sinclair.

I understand you
want all our weapons.

Hugh: Will.

I am most appreciative, ma'am.

Jamie. Will.

Take the women and the children.

Put them in this
house over here.

Mr. Sinclair, may I stay in
the store with my brother?

Hugh: I'm sorry, ma'am.
I cooperated with you.

Very well.

I do appreciate what you did.

You can stay with your brother.

Move the men inside the store.

Uh, gentlemen.

Jess.

Easy.

You yankee soldiers
pick that man up.

Take him inside.

You step back,
Mr. Tarrant. And you.

It's a flesh wound,
you'll survive.

Oh, I'll be mighty fine.

I'm hard to kill.

Jess.

Why did you shoot him?
He was reaching for a gun.

What caliber would
you say this is?

I couldn't tell for sure.

Well, now you know,

and there'll be no more
shooting unless you are sure.

Mr. Tarrant,

take off his jacket.

Does anyone have a knife?

I said, take off his
jacket, Mr. Tarrant.

Sergeant, I'm sorry
about your wound.

But I need your jacket and
I can't have it bloodstained.

Inside.

All right.

I'll thank you for
your uniforms.

You can undress
in the storeroom.

But be careful.

Any uniform gets damaged,

I'll damage the man that did it.

All right. Go ahead.

Would you care to
wait upstairs, ma'am?

I'll wait here with
the others, thank you.

Miss Henderson, do you think you
could find some clothes for my men?

Of course.

Amelia: Wade, fetch some shirts.

Sergeant seems shy.

Maybe he just doesn't
want to look at you.

Amelia: Mr. Dolson.

I never thought I'd find myself

in a blue-belly uniform.

But you'd do it for
an assassination.

Under the circumstances, I do
not consider it to be dishonorable.

This is not a battle.

It's only an execution.

Will, Lou, collect
those uniforms.

I suggest the rest of you relax.

There'll be a guard
posted outside.

Front and rear.

Not already.

That's just a junction.

We are still more than
an hour from pikesville.

Praise be.

Frankly, Ben, I have a
deathly fear of crowds.

Strange.

I heard you were entertaining
the thought of going into politics.

Absolutely not.

Pool of politicians came sniffing
around me like a hungry dog

after a worthwhile bone.

They've been approaching me
suggesting I campaign for the presidency.

I think that I gave
a clear cut answer.

Gentlemen, if nominated,
I will not accept.

If elected, I will not sue.

But how are we
gonna get out of here?

We can't sneak out of
here with all these guards.

Let's rush the guard at the
front door and take his gun.

Sure, then we can
get the second guard.

There's nine of us
against the other three.

And most of us could get killed.

No, sergeant.

Without guns we can't
rush five armed men.

You're a cautious man, tarrant.

Yes, when it comes to the lives
of women and children, I try to be.

If Amy hadn't
turned in our rifle, I...

What would you
have done with it?

Made yourself into a hero, so
you could have a hero's burial?

Amy, uh, I... Dave:
Wait a minute, Wade.

She gave us a chance
when she gave him that rifle.

To do what?

To prevent a murder.

Miss Henderson,
sinclair trusts you.

Talk to him, distract him.

That'll give me a chance
to get out the back.

And then what?

I'll throw a siding switch,

it should stop
the general's train.

He won't get here.

They'll kill you.

No, I don't think so.

Sinclair sees himself
as an honorable man.

At any rate, he won't
shoot anybody else.

I'm sure he won't
because I won't help you.

Uh, miss Henderson, there'd
be no risk to you personally.

Perhaps. What about Mrs.
Dolson and her children?

They won't be involved.

Now, you're being
logical, Mr. Tarrant.

Well, those men are not logical.

If you block their plan, they
could kill every one of us.

All right, you've... You've
got every reason to be afraid.

I'm not afraid for myself.

Oh, no, I am afraid but
it's not just for myself.

My father was a brave man.

Door keepers aren't supposed
to be courageous, but he was.

It killed him.

Four years ago, some gunmen
came into this... This store.

And he was brave and he went for his gun
and they shot him down right where he stood.

He died right here.

I watched him die.

I scrubbed his
blood off the counter.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. It taught
me something.

It's an ugly world, Mr. Tarrant.

There really isn't
very much mercy.

I screamed for help

and nobody came.

Does that have to mean
you can't help any other man?

It means that I won't...

I won't take a foolish risk

for general sherman, a
man I don't even know.

Can you understand that?

Yes, I'm afraid I can.

Well, maybe I
could talk to sinclair.

Dave: Yes, you could talk to him,
barnabas, but you couldn't distract him.

How can you be so sure?

Because they're suspicious
of every man in this town.

We don't know that,
Dave. Dave: I do.

Drop it.

Now let's get something clear.

Any of you men cause
trouble, any trouble,

your women and
kids are gonna hurt.

You wouldn't kill a woman?

Jess: Oh, I didn't say "kill".

I said hurt.

Is that clear enough?

We've gotta do something.

We can, we could start by finding out
who they are and what they plan to do.

They're gonna kill
general sherman, he said.

Dave: But we don't know how.

Barnabas: Where are you going?

Out for a little talk.

You can't.

Will you help me?

No.

Then don't interfere.

(Gunshot)

Oh.

Jess: The next
shot will kill you.

I want to talk to
captain sinclair.

Inside.

Captain.

Get him. It's important.

Mr. Tarrant.

Captain, you've come
here to kill general sherman.

But along the way a lot of
innocent people might get hurt.

There were five women
and children named sinclair.

General sherman taught them
the high price of innocence.

When he marched to the sea...

He and his army of devils
burned and gutted our country.

That was a war.

In which I was an officer, sir.

An officer is responsible for the
conduct of his troops, Mr. Tarrant.

Even in the yankee army.

But how long does
that responsibility last?

The war is over.

Wars don't end

when generals surrender.

They end when memories die.

If I kill your wife and
child, Mr. Tarrant,

when will you forgive me?

One year...

Ten years?

You can't kill a
memory by killing a man.

Sooner or later all of
you will get killed as well.

Lou there, this isn't his
revenge but he'll pay for it.

Jess, Lou...

They'd all be hunted down.

Where's Willie and Jamie?

They were in
front of that house.

Jess, you stay at your post.

Lou, cover the street.

Mr. Tarrant...

Now, you stay in front of me.

If there's a trap, it'll
close on you first.

Now move, sir.

What's happening?
Get back inside.

Why are they going
to my house? Inside!

Now that door opens again,
I'll put a bullet through it.

Mrs. Dolson has some fresh pie.

Looks tasty.

It is, Hugh.

Go ahead and eat.

There is enough for
everybody, captain.

Would you like some?

Thank you, ma'am,
but not really.

My sister, Ann, loved to bake.

You don't remember
your cousin Ann.

Go ahead and eat.

She died when you
were just babies.

Like these.

She wasn't full grown herself.

She was just 18 the
day she burned to death.

Cousin Hugh. Finish your pie.

Captain...

My mother...

My sister...

My two aunts.

Your second cousin, Jeffrey.

He was a month shy
of his eighth birthday.

Finish your pie.

They were just about finished
breakfast, when sherman's army came.

And they were frightened.

Three women,

a girl,

seven-year-old boy.

So they hid in the cellar.

That pie smells
good, doesn't it?

I wonder what it smelled like
when their house began burning.

Stop it!

You finish your pie.

No. Then you finish
what you came here for.

General sherman is
coming in on that train.

He's coming in today.

We'll get him.

We can't think of anything else.

We can't do anything else.

We have got to remember

we are here for just one thing.

To kill a man.

(Gunshot)

Hugh: Load! Aim!

Hugh: Fire! (Gunshots)

Ten-hut!

Good.

One more time and you
two relieve Lou and Jess.

Hugh: Load. (Guns cocking)

Aim.

Hugh: Fire! (Guns fire)

Hugh: Dismissed.

There's nobody watching
that back door now.

They don't have
to, Lou's on guard.

I still can't believe sinclair
would hurt the children.

Mr. Dolson,
sinclair's a fanatic.

He isn't going to allow anything

to interfere with
killing sherman.

Anything we do to
stop him risks their lives.

Hugh: Ten-hut!

Stand straight.

We're going to practice

until we are fit to be an
honor guard for the general.

Shoulder up!

Hold!

Left!

Head!

Forward! Ho!

Rev! Ho!

Rev! Ho!

Dave: I still think we
ought to make a try for it.

We can't take
chances with my family.

Do you believe tarrant?

I'll kill you before I let
you risk my children.

Hugh: Halt!

Detail!

Halt!

Halt!

Guard!

Halt!

Lou!

(Bells dinging)

Hugh: Bring the women
and children outside.

The men inside, Jess.

Jamie and will,
you cover the street.

Miss Henderson, out here.

Miss Henderson, if
you would, please.

(Bell continues dinging)

Mr. Dolson, can you find
me some paper and a pencil?

Thanks.

Gonna try and get a message
through old howley to the post?

That's right.

Now barnabas, you find
yourself a way out of the back.

And into the wagon.
Dave: That's right.

Good luck. All right.

You send him away.

He's harmless. He's half blind.

I said send him away.

I don't want to have
to hurt an old man

just because of
your stubbornness.

You send him away.

(Urges horse)

A day of joy, miss Henderson,

graced by your sunlit presence.

And to you, Mrs.
Dolson, sergeant.

Odd. I don't recognize you.

Sergeant sinclair.

From the fort.

Oh, then the rumor is true.

That general William
tecumseh sherman

is arriving in person, gracing
our territory with a visit.

You can't stay, howley.

Why not, pray?

We've had sickness.

It might be typhoid.

Oh, but I have
remedies, sergeant,

for every ill that
afflicts the human body.

You will have to
move on, howley.

We've had sickness.

And you're just not welcome.

Miss Henderson, I have
regarded you as a friend.

Now I am forced to
amend my consideration.

The lady was just anxious
about your health, sir.

Perhaps.

You're a gallant
sergeant. Which is rare.

Thank you, sir.

As rare as a Georgia gentlemen

wearing union army stripes.

How did you know I
came from Georgia?

Howley: Well, frankly,
I was once an actor.

(Chuckles) Toured the breadth
and the length of this union, sir,

including Georgia.

Oh, I can trace an accent

as a bloodhound
traces a fugitive.

Oh, you are clearly educated
distinctly from Georgia.

And probably from the
other side of Atlanta.

Remarkable, come to think of it.

A southern gentleman
welcoming sherman.

Why, it's been a long
time since the war, howley.

True, true.

But it still makes for
an intriguing story.

I'm afraid it does.

And I can't have you telling it.

You step down, sir.

(Urges horse)

(Horse neighing)

(Groans)

(Horse neighing)

(Amelia screams)

That's good enough.

After we leave, you can
give him a decent burial.

And what do we say over him?

Murdered for no reason?

He was killed in the
course of a military action.

"Military action"?

That sounds good, captain.

Just because he
might have told on you.

Yes. And I will take no chances.

Only a short time,

then we'll be out
of your lives forever.

(Train horn blowing)

Well, we should be
right in here, now.

Less than an hour.

Very well.

Tell me, this little
town, uh, pikesville...

Are they going to
a deal of trouble?

Well...

I suppose it's a
big deal for them.

Your visit's the biggest thing
that ever happened to them.

Up until now, the most
excitement they have

is going down to the
general store every day

and watching the
clerk measure cloth.

(Laughs)

Sergeant.

I want you to get your
men into the storeroom.

Why, reb?

I want to keep them
out of temptation's way.

Not you.

Harris: All right,
men in the back room.

They're all in, Hugh. Good.

You trust the rest of us?

I need Mr. Tarrant
and his assistant.

I'll hold your wife
and your children.

I'm sure you'll be reasonable.

And I want you
separate from your men.

Less than an hour, gentlemen,

miss Henderson.

I beg you all,

do not be reckless.

Jess.

We've gotta do something.

Why?

Why do we have
to gamble our lives

for a stranger?

It's not for a stranger, Amelia.

It's against a killing.

There's already been
one unnecessary death.

Howley.

There mustn't be any others.

And you won't help?

The lady's afraid, Mr. Dolson.

I'm being sensible.

It's not cowardice.

You're trying to keep
yourself walled in.

Away from all feeling.

One man is dead, Amelia.

And while you're
being so sensible

another man is
going to be killed.

If we don't do
anything to stop them,

we're just as
guilty as they are.

Which one of you
carries a pocket watch?

You'll get it back.

Cousin Hugh's gotta
be certain of the time.

(Clock chiming)

Your watch says it's 2:14.

The one over there
only reads 2:00.

You wouldn't be fooling around
with the clocks now, would you?

Why should we?

Because we gotta be ready
for that train at exactly 3:00.

That one runs slow.

Needs fixing.

Jess: Sure does, ma'am.

(Door closing)

It can be repaired.

But not like it was.

It was my father's.

(Sobs)

I had it all my life.

Forward!

March!

Rev, ho!

Rev!

Ho!

Detail! Halt!

Shoulder up! Hold!

Stand easy.

You have cartridges
in the chamber?

Hammers cocked.

(Guns cocking)

When I give the
command, "present arms,"

the front rank will drop
to a kneeling position.

Bring your rifles to
the shoulder and fire.

Detail, attention!

Present

arms!

(Gunshots)

Good. Excellent.

Stand easy.

How much time, Hugh?

Maybe quarter hour, no more.

Dave, there is
nothing you can do.

Dave.

We got a plan.

No, barnabas, forget it.

Nobody can get a warning
message out of this town alone.

Wade can.

I've got these
pigeons on the roof.

I can send a message to
a friend in Briggs junction.

No, the guards will catch you.

Not if I go out there
and distract them.

No, I'll handle the guard.

All I need is five minutes.

I'll get you the five
minutes, Wade.

Where are you going?

Uh...

I'm just gonna go show
barnabas my rock collection.

I guess that's all right.

Dave: Sinclair!

Sinclair, you call yourself
an officer and a gentleman.

You're a murderer.

That's enough of you. Inside.

I'm calling you out.

Your choice of weapons.

Inside!

You or any of your
kin, you're all murderers.

Hugh: Get back inside, tarrant.

Dave: You killed a
harmless old man, sinclair.

Are you afraid to fight
me on even terms?

Cousin Hugh!

We have no time for
personal arguments.

(Cooing)

Captain.

I don't know what they're up to

but they opened the
attic door to the roof.

Quiet. Quiet! His friend
is up on the roof now.

Look!

(Gun cocking)

You up there,

I want to see you.

Come on down, boy.

You're responsible,
it was your idea.

You used my brother.
Yes, I agreed to the plan

but you betrayed it.

I didn't know that
Wade was in on it.

No! You thought it was barnabas.

Now does that excuse you?

Boy.

I should have you shot.

He didn't know
what he was doing.

Wade: Yes, I did.

Quiet! I knew what I was doing!

It was my idea!

Be quiet!

Quiet, both of you!

Please, miss Henderson.

I should have you
shot. But I won't.

Because it was your idea, sir.

Wasn't it? Wade: No!

Wade. Dave!

You know it wasn't your idea.

Quiet!

Wasn't it?

Yes.

That's why you came outside
to challenge me to a duel.

That's right.

I accept your challenge.

You will have your duel.

My choice of weapons.

And I'm going to
kill you, Mr. Tarrant.

I feel ridiculous.

I look pretty strutting across the
west for the benefit of Germans.

You know, in a time of peace,

a soldier should be
crated and stored like rifles.

Looking for another
war, are you, general?

Scarcely.

I told my new
recruits, all of them,

war is hell.

It's not glory and it's not
adventure but pure hell.

I go along with that.

I served at the
confederacy during that war.

And I fought against it.

You know, every time an
ex-confederate looks at me,

I can see the accusation.

That I burned half of Georgia
and I marched to the sea.

Well, it all seems like it
happened a long time ago, captain.

It's a new country out
here, it's got a great future.

And I'm trying to
build a new railroad.

Not preserve old hatreds.

I appreciate that.

You know, I shall never forget
my march through Georgia.

I'm not proud of what I did.

Neither am I ashamed.

It was ugly and it was
war and it was necessary.

But I did kill a few to
end the killing of many.

Yeah.

Well, like I say, it
happened a long time ago.

Best thing any of us can
do at this point is forget it.

Look ahead, not back.

If Dave's killed,
you are to blame.

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry.

(Scoffs)

That's easy enough, isn't it?

If he does get killed, I'm getting
out of here no matter what.

We all are, no matter what.

It isn't hardly a fair duel.

Well, tarrant asked for it.

Be careful, yankee.

That hilt will be the last
thing you'll ever touch.

Not your weapon, sir?

I've handled a sabre before.

Don't make no difference.

Cousin Hugh was the best
swordsman in the entire corps.

Killed three men with a sabre.

Old men, captain?

En garde, sir.

Not so quickly, sir.

(Grunting)

What do you want me to do?

Nothing.

Just nothing.

If they kill tarrant,

they'll be looking at him.

That'll give us our chance.

So I don't want you
to warn sinclair again.

I won't.

I'd like to be sure of that.

Go ahead. (Train horn honking)

Jess,

get his assistant out
there and miss Henderson.

Mr. Tarrant, you get
out your equipment.

Now.

Lou, get the women
and the children out here.

Tarrant, set up your camera.

You help him, boy.

I wanna help. What?

I'm ashamed. What can I do?

When I go behind the
darkroom, distract sinclair.

When you hear "smile",
get the women and children

off the platform. Thank you.

Rest of you, fall in.

(Horn blowing)

Remember, fire one volley.

No one else is to be harmed.

Just the great marauder,

the butcher sherman.

Barnabas.

Weezy, why don't you
practice your poem?

Okay, general sherman's coming.

Mrs. Dolson: Yeah, you go ahead.

What's she up to?

A distraction.

"Kennesaw, dark in its glory,

"frowned down on
the flag of the free

"but the east and the
west bore our standard,

"as sherman marched
down to the sea.

"And the blood of
the patriot dampened

"the soil where
the traitor flag falls"

(horn honking)

Don't forget, barnabas,

when I give you the signal,

you holler "smile,"
good and loud.

Right.

Detail.

Ten-hut!

Hurry it up, Mr. Tarrant.

Or do you want me
to make an example?

You're gonna make
history, captain.

I don't like it but I'm going
to take a picture of it. (Clicks)

History's on.

In another few moments.

Barnabas.

Okay, now smile.

(Whistle blowing)

(Ringing)

(Indistinct shouting)

(Indistinct shouting)

Sounds like quite a show.

They've been waiting all day,

I imagine they're
pretty excited.

There's a reception
for you, general.

Do you have a match?

Weezy, recite your
poem for the general.

Smile.

"Kennesaw, dark in its glory,

"frowned down on
the flag of the free,

"and the east and the
west bore our standards,

"as sherman marched
down to the sea."

Amelia. You are right on time.

Bps&d, miss,

is always on time.

Who is that for?

A very important person.

Who?

Can you move back a little?

Me? No.

Us.

Come on. You can smile
a little bit. (Chuckles)
