March 1877 I was reporting to the

quarters of the Sioux Nation with my

friend Joe Weaver the Indian agent

I'm Matt Clark railroad Detective

everybody connected with the army or the

law was out trying to locate Chief Crazy

Horse didn't have a lead until we

learned that Crazy Horse's wife had

brought their sick child into the agency

it was my idea to have Frankie Adams

another railroad operative assigned to

the case as one of the nurses

Joe why would they have Crazy Horse's

wife and sick baby that building next

door is the infirmary they'd likely be

there yeah

tell a major I'll see him in a few

minutes

[Music]

I'll show you right on the job perky

yeah but this time I don't like it

[Music]

sorry

looks bad

if she'd only brought her a couple of

days earlier

where's the doctor he sent for him he

should arrive tonight

when you got yourself pretty involved in

you Frankie

how can you help it cute little

black-eyed baby like that

what about the mother doesn't she think

Crazy Horse should be here

she doesn't know where he is you mean

she isn't telling

I mean I honestly think she doesn't know

you better keep your heart out of your

work Frankie be much easier for you

[Music]

thank you

foreign

right back there

[Music]

[Music]

well I got the doctor here safe and

sound it's on his way over the infirmary

now good I just left there the kid's

pretty sick you know I got a feeling

that crazy horse is not so far away

he's very fond of that little girl come

now are you trying to tell me that

Savage has a Sentimental attachment to

his family

trouble with you army man you think no

one has any more feelings in yourself

Indians hate us major not their own

people

next you'll be telling me your 10th

church on Sundays as a matter of fact he

is religious

in his Indian way of course

he's a Mystic he has Visions like a

regular old-time saint

claims he dreamed that no white man's

bullet could ever kill him a fatalist

huh and this is what the general expects

me to deliver alive

I just found the doctor on the steps

with a narrow on his back

lady

yes

my baby is dead

if the doctor had gotten to the child we

felt she still would have been alive

we were sure it was Crazy Horse who had

killed him

was his hatred of white man's medicine

that drove him to it

major Digby took his entire company out

on an extended search for the insane

engine determined to stay out at this

time until it got him

I stayed behind with Joe Weaver

as an expert on engines it was his hunts

at the crazed Chief would try to visit

his daughter's grave

Joe was sure that if the engine came

back at all he would be alone

if you think that Indian will ever show

up this is a third night we'll give him

one more night and then give it up as a

bad hunch yeah

yeah you take over for a while

[Music]

that's him

[Music]

yeah

you can make time to get around back at

him and take care of him on this side

I've got a rifle pointing right at your

head and I've got one pointed right at

your heart

this was Chief Crazy Horse this was a

man who had wiped out a third of Crook's

Army on the rosebud

the man who helped Master Custer and his

entire company on the Little Bighorn

[Music]

you take me when I am alone

and said

sorry Crazy Horse

this is the only way that I could take

you alive if he makes one move Joe

shoot him

foreign

house

most likely not but General crook wants

to talk with you I have no words for

gray fox hey no friend you're wrong

chief he wants to be your friend just

like he is to all the other Chiefs

they are cowards

they are afraid to die quick like men

they want to Die slow like old women

they're thinking other all women they're

young women and their children

I think of my girl

white man's sickness killed her

if you hadn't murdered a doctor she

might have been all right

but no you think only about yourself and

that great pride of yours

will gray fox let us hunt Buffalo before

winter

Buffalo are Vanishing

you must find a new way of life

we'll give you cattle and horses and

teach you how to live well is a job of

young men

they learn by stealing horses we don't

honor white men for stealing horses

we hang up

you see why it is no good for me to talk

to Great bucks

his words and my words will be like

crows and sparrows flying in the air

they will never fly together

when I meet gray fox it will be to kill

him

not to talk with him that's big words

Crazy Horse

let's see if you talk that big when you

meet the general

is coming in on the next train

taking the better part of the night

it was Dawn when we left the burial

ground

we came down the canyon toward the

agency with our valuable prize

[Music]

we should have known he wouldn't sell

himself so cheaply

[Music]

had him in my sights and I couldn't have

missed

[Music]

Crazy Horse was ended clear

and left as suddenly as he had struck

that stuff about him being bulletproof

frying pan hit the cab dead center it

didn't go off now what do you think

lady

good morning

I am troubled

is it about your husband

I've told you many times

if there's anything you know it's best

to tell us to avoid more suffering

I feel too

here last night here

say white man's sickness kill the little

one for her he will kill the white teeth

do not let him do this lady soldiers

must stop him I do not want him dead I

want him here alive then you must tell

me everything you know what is this

about the general

if I tell

you promise me that this soldiers will

bring him to me alive

I promise you I'll do everything I can

the great Chief comes by train

my husband will attack when trains stop

in little Hills to drink water

there innocent people on that train

women and children with the Army better

than 50 mile away we've got to do

something first off Joe do you believe

this story was any other Indian I'd have

my doubts but you heard him the other

night he swore he'd get the general and

you ought to know by now he's no Bluff

you say anything else Frankie no but the

train will be here in a few hours

all right then chill how well do you

know your peaceful onions she's like

touch the clouds little big man Hawkeye

and spotted tail I trust them they're

men of their word

but to send them on the war path against

their own Brothers Well if they don't

know it but now somebody ought to tell

them

Crazy Horse is just as bad for them as

he is for us if the general is killed

even the reservation won't protect them

you know that sure I know it but who's

going to convince them

I'll take a crack at it if I can

convince him I'll lead them

but we've got to have guns that's out

do you know what would happen to you and

the rest of us if this turn General

Uprising I know

but you said you trusted the peaceful

Chiefs

we'll take your word for it Joe

all right

if you're willing to risk your life I'm

willing to risk my job I'll call a

powwow

frankly right out to meet the major and

hurry him along tell him we're sitting

on a powder keg here and the Indians are

holding all the matches Matt

I promise Crazy Horse's wife you'd bring

him in a life still got your heart in

your work haven't you beat it

[Music]

for what seemed like ours giving him

every possible argument

and you knew that you would be wiped out

just like you wiped out Custer

and you knew that it was time to quit

and make an honest peace so far you've

had peace

but I'm telling you now that if you let

Crazy Horse attack this train

every white man in this country will cry

for your blood

Crazy Horse

you'll be treated just like any other

surrendering officer

to more trouble

I'll give you my word that you won't be

locked up

you've been a brave Warrior

only a coward would ever think of taking

his own life

[Music]

this was a solemn occasion in Indian

history the government's future

relations with a Sioux Nation would

depend on the treatment of Chief Crazy

Horse

we would have to be firm with him yet

Fair

lightning alive and not even tied

I just showed up there Joe inside

with the general

the troops went out to escort him in

they haven't got back yet oh

I'll go tell the major

good job Clark risky but still a good

job where's the prisoner outside we'll

put him in the guard house

you can't do that

I gave Crazy Horse my word he wouldn't

be locked up and he would talk with the

general the general isn't here yet

besides you didn't have the authority to

make such a promise with my Impressions

those were standing orders I've had

condomining orders direct from

Department

and even if these orders are unfair or

downright stupid I'm here to carry them

out

but I gave my word to Crazy Horse

well as long as you're so squeamish

about the feeling of your Indian friends
