Don't you see it?

women you worry too much.

I'm already grown up.

Yes, I am quite a man.

Dakota Jack.

Ask whoever you want. I am an important man.

No no.

I don't need help.

And why has it replaced you? Jim Bridger?

It's just one night.

It doesn't matter.

long hair that we have bought,

I don't think anyone notices.

In recent months, it has saved your number four times a week.

How long do you think it will take in discovering it?

You behave at all times

Maybe I have too long.

When you don't go back to the hotel, I'm waiting for you.

Well.

Maybe you don't want may more wait for you.

What do you mean by that?

who doesn't love me

You say I don't love you?

And why do you think I've ridden this show?

Just for money? I have never asked you for anything.

If you want us to come back to Fort Kearney,

Yes, of course, live between sheets clean and smelling of horses.

Now you use perfumes.

You are a lady.

Mrs. Jack Gaines.

Mrs. Jack Gaines...

You're killing yourself!

Are they? (COUGH)

You rave.

It's a very busy number.

I'd better get some sleep.

Good night, Max.

Very good, yes! -Excellent!

Magnificent!

¡Bravo!

As soon as the show ends, We'll talk to Gaine.

Very good. -Eh, Mira...

You shouldn't be here, Max.

I have married him.

You don't like this way of living. Me neither.

I owe him a lot.

That was a long time ago. You don't owe him anything.

Be patient with him.

Some people don't know digest success. He will get out of this.

He won't be able to leave anymore.

Not while I have this show.

We're in trouble, Mr. Bridger. That?

Two soldiers ask about Gaines.

You can't receive them. They are behind the door.

One of them is general and the other, colonel.

They say it's important.

but they don't know who you are.

Very well, let them pass.

Sir, I am General Carveth. General.

Colonel Still.

How are you doing? Mr. Gaines.

My wife, Mrs. Gaines. How are you doing?

General Carveth, coronel Still. Good night.

No, you better stay.

What we are going to tell It is confidential.

Is Jim Bridger also involved? in the show?

Yes, but I was busy today.

Well, pass him the information. Yes sir.

You and Bridger They served as trackers

under the orders of the colonel Carrington in the 18th Cavalry.

For 4 years.

The 18th must build forts along the Bossman, in Wyoming.

Colonel Carrington asked that we put on

in contact with you.

He wants you to accompany him on this expedition.

The Bossman passes through Sioux territory.

Chief Red Cloud will not let Let the army settle there.

General, someone you are asking for trouble.

Maybe, but the railway will go heading west next year.

And those strong ones will protect to the men who will build it.

What does Carrington want us for? There are more trackers.

He knows that you have good relations with the Indians

and Carrington supposes that they can influence Red Cloud

to sign a new treaty. What if Red Cloud decides to fight?

There are a number of issues I can't comment

If you don't answer me first. We can't leave the show.

But we could do it. Max.

I think we could do it.

We will answer you tomorrow, Sir.

Very good.

If you accept, you must go to the office of the military high command.

They will inform you there on more important issues.

Mrs. Gaines, Mr. Gaines. General.

Goodbye, madam. Good night.

Mr. Gaines. Colonel.

This will make Jack react. Have you thought about it well?

Jack will not agree to participate on that expedition.

I don't mind,

You've lived there a long time

and you know that Red Cloud will face Carrington

with more than 5000 Indians. There may be war.

I'm determined, Jim.

Jack no longer considers me important in your life.

I must do something.

Okay, Max.

Tomorrow morning I'll go to the office.

EDWIN STANTON. SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR

If the Springfield rifle would have been perfected in time

and would have been divided between all the soldiers of the Union,

the Civil War It would have ended two years earlier.

with special information?

Yeah. Plus, it's post-loading.

Army tests they show that it can carry

and shoot 50 times in 3 minutes.

A fantastic rifle, Mr. Stanton.

But the chargers like that they heat up soon

or they explode from behind, over here. Yeah.

And this what?

He has passed all the tests. Will they be sent to Carrington?

Renovated its plant,

the springfield arsenal Its industrial production will begin.

It will take a year. No way.

The president has ordered priority.

Do you think Red Cloud can defeat Carrington?

Red Cloud will not wait

to reform

But... Jack and I have decided that we will go

We need the strong and we will build them.

Good morning, sir. Good morning.

Before the year ends,

it will be the railway the one who will go from Kearney, Nebraska,

to Fort Laramie, Wyoming, and not the poor mules.

Maybe, sergeant.

Do you know? It's the first time I see the railway.

I'm glad to hear it that they would send me to look for them

to Kearney station.

It will be like old times.

They will fight together again you and Gaines.

Yes sir, I'm really glad that they have returned.

Jack.

Jack.

I can't force you to talk.

It's true, I already told you what I had to tell you.

You sold the show without telling me.

There is nothing more to understand.

Nor why have I done it? The drink issue again?

No.

I have said and done everything I could.

And now I will tell you...

that this is not water.

And it hasn't been since we left Kearney.

Mr. Bridger, before He asked me about Red Cloud.

Does the colonel know where he is?

A camp that size It's not easy to hide.

The Sioux and the Cheyenne are in the Tongue and Powder Rivers.

8000.

¡8000! Did you say 8000?

According to the calculations del coronel Carrington.

What's the matter, Jim, do you want increase your good reputation?

Will you fight alone contra siux y cheyenne?

Quiet. I'm tired of these lands.

my hair and I survived

and now you bring me back.

Well, 30 more miles and we will have arrived safely

to Fort Laramie.

Just one thing can cause us problems

before reaching the fort.

Mr. Bridger, haven't you forgotten? How do rifles work?

a couple of years ago I don't practice too much,

You can now remember, Mr. Bridger.

I guess... the colonel still You can count on Mr. Gaines.

will be in shape before reaching Fort Laramie.

Yes sir.

White tracker Jim Bridger.

They're after us!

¡Hia!

Stay with Max!

¡No!

Fear of Horses, Red Cloud's right hand.

You're right.

(DRUNK) The troublemaker. Always looking for problems.

Give me the revolver. Let him go.

I want you to go back to camp.

Tell Red Cloud we don't want kill your people,

We don't want war. Let the message get to you.

Red Cloud is old. He doesn't hear well anymore.

You tell him.

I will do what you tell me.

But war will soon come.

And you will die like the others pale faces.

you are welcome. It's better that he leaves.

For Nube Roja it is very important. So he will always owe us something.

Let's continue on our way.

Well we have arrived without losing your hair.

All in one piece.

First we will go at Carrington’s office.

Maybe Red Cloud will hear us.

During the last two weeks I have tried everything

so that Red Cloud came to talk and he refuses.

But an hour ago his messenger came to tell me

who agrees to speak and it will come tomorrow.

Do you think it will help?

If we get a good deal, we will make it happen.

Yeah? As?

With the new Springfield rifle that they taught him in Washington.

Should they arrive before starting the expedition?

There is no time. We must start now with the preparations.

They know about the topic by the Washington office.

By no means...!

We must wait for the rifles.

Thank you,

What is the problem?

It will be resolved with a bath and rest.

It was a hard trip.

Your rooms are ready. Thank you, colonel.

The meeting will be tomorrow.

Carrington is wrong if it starts without the rifles.

Maybe, but if Red Cloud does not sign that peace treaty,

Carrington will have dug his grave.

we have driven expeditions before.

It shouldn't be different.

Okay, you take care of everything. and then comes back.

to that meeting.

(Military drums)

They are already here.

This day will be of vital importance for the Wyoming Territory.

I hope for the best.

Where's Gaines?

I'm going to look for it.

Jack, you're turning your back to everything.

It is possible that Red Cloud listen to us.

Has Red Cloud come? Yeah.

It's not normal Let the Indians listen to no one.

That's what Carrington wanted that you came

Before the Indians

If you try, you could do it again.

Talk to them as before.

Try it, Jack, please.

Red Cloud has elements to dissuade us.

What do we have to dissuade him, rusty keys?

Jim.

You will get us killed to all three.

Although maybe it was for the best.

Carrington is waiting for you, Jim.

I'll see what I can do.

I don't know what can help you to be a person

It is possible that if I were not by your side,

You would stand alone.

¡Max, Max, wait!

(Bang)

Do you want our territory hunting?

Do you want us Sioux to die? for lack of food?

The answer is no.

You want to build forts

Bighorn y Yellowstone.

It is the center of our territory.

What can you give us in exchange? What has that value?

(COLONEL) I tell you that you can go to the South.

It's Cheyenne territory, our friends.

We will not occupy your territory.

Your promises and money

This is my answer:

We will kill any man white that goes beyond

of the crossroads of Women Crazy or Powder River.

I warned you, Jim.

This is of no use.

the grave for all his people.

We have new weapons, Red Cloud. ¡Jack!

Springfield rifles load

and they shoot 50 times every 3 minutes.

What would you say if every 3 minutes

Shut up! You heard the colonel!

OK. Did you want to stop a war?

Ask Red Cloud now if you still want to fight.

If those rifles had arrived, I would know.

But it is possible

there is none of you left to use them.

Immediately prepare weapons and ammunition for the expedition.

Notify General Pope that Red Cloud's response

It's war.

Gaines, you are under arrest. He is confined to the fort.

Arrested?

I'm not one of those

It's in a military fort and here everyone abides by discipline.

Be thankful you didn't summon a court.

Jack may have spoken when I didn't play,

but I wanted to dissuade Red Cloud from going to war.

He hasn't caused it. From now on

our lives depend about what we do or say.

And I can't take any chances with you. He is confined to the fort.

I know Jack means a lot for you,

but we have a mission past.

I hope you don't change your mind. It won't be the same.

But we can't do anything. Will you come with us?

Yes sir.

Let's get ready. The expedition begins.

Jim.

We still have a lot of work.

Did you want to talk to me about something? I leave you, Jim.

Some women go with their husbands on the expedition.

Women are needed for maintenance,

food and nursing.

I have told you al coronel Carrington.

I would like to correct the evil that Jack has caused.

I would like to be useful.

Does Jack know?

That doesn't change anything. You know why I want to go.

Listen to me, brothers.

I have spoken with pale faces of Fort Laramie.

I have heard many promises, but who believes them?

They want us to sign a new treaty,

that if we sign it, we will have peace

which has always been of the Sioux.

The chief of the pale faces has said that very soon they will

that the iron horse pass through our lands.

And it will bring days of glory for Indian tribes.

with a territory...

or do we want the glory of white?

(THEY SPEAK IN THEIR LANGUAGE)

Siux and cheyenne…

we will fight together.

We are strong.

And we'll throw out the white man of our lands.

(Drums)

(SING)

May the gods be with us.

Troops! -Troop, loud!

There is the crossroads of the Crazy Women.

From this moment on, men of Red Cloud watch us.

Everything seems calm. We are at the border.

Leave me a few men and I'll look around.

There could be more Indians of those who believe.

We will carry rifles. Good. Take those men.

How are you, sir?

I'm forming a patrol. Is it coming?

Yes sir. I'll tell the colonel.

Are you going to the crossroads of the Crazy Women?

Max, you know the region well.

Everything will be fine. The colonel covers us.

Get the gunpowder, sergeant.

¡So! Have you seen anything?

No, but it seems strange to me. Yeah.

There they are!

Good, sergeant. Let's approach the crossroads.

Surely there are more than a thousand.

To the rocks.

(Intrigue music)

What are you waiting for?

They want us to see where is the border

(SHOUT)

Why haven't they waited let's cross the river?

They will jump on us. It will be very hard if they catch us alive.

I would like to have a Springfield.

(Shots)

Carrington. The saints protect us!

(bugle and gunshots)

(SHOUT, VOICES OF WAR)

Mr. Bridger, sir.

Sorry to wake you up, Jim, but I want us to talk.

About today? By the way of facing

of the sioux, They only offer resistance.

It's a warning.

If they had wanted, They would have destroyed us.

Do you mean that Red Cloud will not give up even a meter of border?

If not, I'll shut my mouth.

I would like to know what you think.

I would forget of General Pope's plan.

If you want to reach the fort Connor as planned,

Red Cloud will defeat him in a week.

It is the closest place where to get the wood

and we need it to build the strong ones. What can we do?

We should hide.

On Mount Bighorn, at the fork of the two rivers.

We will live in tents until you have the wood.

Up high to see them before them to us.

to get out of this alive.

Can you take us there without the Indians seeing us?

It's possible, colonel.

We can go back taking a big turn.

We will make Red Cloud Think we're going back to Laramie.

General Pope will now be in Laramie.

If your plan works, I will send a messenger

to inform of our new location.

Thinking about new rifles?

Pope will bring them with a special escort.

Good evening, sir. Good night, Jim.

And thank you for what you have done today.

You should be sleeping.

(SIGH) It's like if I had returned home.

Maybe the people and the road, but the night is very clear.

Change? People don't change at all.

You scratch a little and they reappear.

Jack either?

You think I haven't done well in leaving him.

You don't want me by your side.

We're not going to the fort.

For now, let's go to the forest.

Some women return a Laramie.

I won't go with them.

Max, what do you want from me?

Do you want me to make love to you?

Go now.

I'm sorry, Jim.

If I come back, things won't be any better. neither to Jack nor to me.

You still have to wait even if I don't win anything.

Don't know, but I want to find out.

Very good.

Troops! -Troop, loud!

The Indians are not seen.

If Red Cloud's trackers They don't watch us,

we are in a mess. They watch us.

At night they will be fed up with whiskey

celebrating that they have forced us to retire to Laramie.

And when do we detour to the forest?

Let's give them some leeway.

OK. He'll tell me when.

And the women?

I have spoken with them as you asked me.

They all stay on the expedition.

Go ahead, let's go! -Under way!

They return to Laramie. Send the message to Red Cloud.

Troops! -Troop, loud!

Well, that's it.

We will detour when it gets dark.

Do we send the courier for General Pope?

You better wait too. Let him come out at dusk.

OK.

Go ahead, let's go! -Under way!

Are you Sergeant Carnahan? -Yes sir.

Who let him take off the uniform?

Uh... Colonel Carrington. Mr. Bridger's idea.

I see. -We were in Sioux territory.

There are more possibilities to cross the area in civilian clothes.

And who decided to go to the pine forest and not to Fort Connor?

Don't know.

I guess also It's Bridger's thing. Good.

You are right in both cases. I have been wrong.

Yes sir. -No one has asked him.

No, sir.

I will give you the answer now for Colonel Carrington.

I won't give it to you in writing in case the civilian clothes

It doesn't work with the Sioux on the way back.

Yes sir.

Tell Carrington that in five The Springfields will arrive in weeks.

That's all, sergeant. Good luck.

Thank you, general.

How are you doing, Mr. Gaines?

How is she? All the women are very well.

There haven't been many problems.

Listen. It does good Get in shape, sir.

Are you referring to the drink? Yes, I have left her.

Do you know, sir?

I'm sure some of my friends They will be very happy to know it.

I already believe it.

Tell them to look in the mirror.

you can stop now.

What does it say? My friends are very fat.

I didn't know it was Until Max left me, Sergeant.

I've had a lot of time to look at me.

Ah.

Yes sir.

Mr. Gaines, I guess you and me

we know each other enough.

Do you want me to tell you to Mrs. Gaines

How do you see things now?

Only if she wants to hear it.

Hey!

Thanks, Max.

Always dried meat.

And don't blame me if the coffee is weak.

They have rationed it.

I already know.

We can't get too far away.

What will we do When we have no meat left?

I don't know I guess to stop being prudent.

Ready the afternoon We'll have to get out of here.

They told me that there is little left to have the wood.

Jim, I want to tell you that...

women eat less so that you eat more.

They will get sick.

Is this your ration? That's not important.

We know that you are responsible for hunting

Here, eat some of this.

No, a little coffee yes.

I only saw one, but there may be more. Take it.

Have you had problems, Mrs. Gaines?

A Sioux saw us. About?

Jim took it. Very close.

An arrow almost hit me. You must be more cautious.

Clear. Lady.

When I've been to Laramie I have seen your husband

more sober than a judge and very worried about you.

He's waited a long time to say it. Look...

He told me not to tell him if you didn't want to hear it.

Thanks, sergeant. Hey...

I thought it best to tell you

before he would care too much

of those Sioux that hang around here.

It means that Red Cloud knows where we are

and sent out his trackers.

Could be.

I don't know, Jim, but we need meat and if we start hunting,

it would be dangerous for you and for your men.

If they are close, go hunting I could show you where we are.

What is the solution, not eating?

Out there on the great plain, It is full of buffaloes.

We have no choice.

How much time will it take? Three days.

Put on civilian clothes and take off your ID.

Just in case. Behind a table, in Washington,

I'm sure all this

We need those rifles more than anything in the world.

(instrumental music)

Do you know where they are the pale faces?

No, the mountains are extensive. We could spend years looking for them.

We have to find them.

We know that Carrington

Let's forget about it and attack Laramie.

Every time the tribes are small.

I will not send the young to fight against cannons.

When I'm gone, you will be the boss, but now you will obey.

Don't send men to track. Find Carrington!

Let them not leave the valley.

Mr. Lang. -I'm glad to see you, General Pope.

And I believe that the government has sent it.

Thank you. If you like, We can move on to the demonstration.

Good. The troop that will escort the rifles

to Colonel Carrington is prepared.

Open one of those boxes, please.

We have set up a special area for testing. Come on.

This new rifle is a product from the Springfield Armory.

It's caliber 5.

Weighs 9 pounds, included the 18-inch bayonet.

After shooting,

this device extracts the used cartridge

and empty the chamber.

The cartridge removal system empty and reloaded

convert this rifle in the fastest so far.

This rifle shoots at high speed.

It is the ideal weapon for combat in open spaces.

can shoot so far that would defeat the enemy

before I got enough close enough to shoot us.

There is no rifle as powerful as this.

I'll show you, General.

Is the weapon he carries the one they use everyone in the regiment?

Yes sir. -Shoot the target on the right.

Thank you.

Now, gentlemen...

Please, general.

It could work, general.

Maybe I was wrong for taking things my way.

It is true that Carrington

But I know it will work, sir.

If we bully Red Cloud, will not close the road to Carrington.

Do you want to go teach him one of these rifles?

Yes sir. Let me go to your camp.

If Red Cloud sees that rifle,

What if he's wrong? You won't lose much. Just a rifle.

And his head.

You will only lose your life.

(SIGH) Before I was losing without any sense.

Now I would lose her for a good reason.

What are you trying to prove, Gaines?

In this life I only care

And I think I have to start to prove it.

I must pay for what I have done and I think the time has come.

You'll see.

If my criteria were that of any human being,

I should stop him.

But as a soldier, I must appreciate that it is your life

against that of men and women from this region.

Sir?

As soon as you are ready.

If you allow me, General,

I'm very happy to hear it... that he is not a human being.

Good luck.

Thank you.

(Shot)

(Shot)

Today is the last day, we have had luckier than we imagined.

and let's go back to camp.

What do we do with the bones scattered around the area?

We can't bury them.

I hope that when Red Cloud finds them

Let's be out of the pine forest.

(action music)

They are separating.

Surround them there and

OK.

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Shot)

(Soft music)

I can't stop thinking that if Red Cloud was around here,

it would be to us and not to the buffaloes who would lose their hair.

(Whistle and herding voice)

We are quite dirty, not to mention the plague.

you will be able to eat. Come on.

(Intrigue music)

Yellow Hair trusts a lot in their gods.

Otherwise, he wouldn't come alone. I'm coming to talk to your boss.

Red Cloud has already heard too many White man's lies.

You will die right now. You know a lot about rifles.

Have you ever seen

Look. Take a good look at it.

I'll take you to Red Cloud.

Can you warn me about this new rifle because you were once my friend?

You put an end to our friendship.

I come because I want to intimidate you. Red Cloud,

war paintings.

You say very brave words.

We don't need to be brave. We have this.

Do you think the Sioux should we give up?

You are usually smarter,

above all

We don't want to kill you, Red Cloud, but if you force us, we will do it.

It depends on you.

I will call the assembly of all the Sioux chiefs.

They will decide between them.

If the decision is war, you will be the first to die.

Great white man's hunt.

We have found bones, many buffaloes.

We follow them into the forest of the big trees.

It's Carrington!

Your camp will be near the water.

At the crossing of the rivers.

Now, Red Cloud, we will kill them all.

Trackers say that the white general

came out of fort laramie with many rifles,

but many soldiers They stayed on the plain.

If so, Carrington will die

Bring on the pale face.

I want you to listen to this.

The Sioux chiefs have said that there is no war

because they have seen your rifle.

But now everything has changed. We will go to war.

The Sioux will not die

hunting territory forever.

It will be as I said.

When the warriors arrive to dance the dance of war,

you will be the first to die.

(Drums and songs)

(SCREAMS) -Troop, loud!

We will have to force the march until midnight.

(Shots)

(Gunshots, drums and chants)

Kill now the pale face, Red Cloud.

And our warriors will kill to the rest of the white men.

(Shots)

(Gunshots and chants outside)

(Shots)

(Shots)

(action music)

Pale Face has escaped. Let's go through Carrington.

(SPEAKS IN HIS LANGUAGE)

(SPEAKS IN HIS LANGUAGE)

(THEY SPEAK IN THEIR LANGUAGE)

We are going to war. May the gods be with us.

I thought they cut down trees,

My ax slipped, ma'am,

you never know where it will fly.

Light, please. Claro, Max, and.

Hey!

You lie down, Don't let your arm fall off.

Doctor, take care of him, please.

Quiet.

Up, George, You don't need it!

His back is pretty bad.

He loses a lot of blood.

Max, you have to leave

All.

Colonel.

Don't worry. You'll talk later.

The Sioux...

Get out of here.

They are very close. How close, Jack?

Don't know. Two hours away, maybe. We can't leave so quickly,

through the forest

Pope comes with the Springfields.

Where's Pope?

It can't be far from the rivers. Take care of him, Max.

Yeah. 8000 redskins.

Pope must stop them from getting closer. Maybe it won't arrive in time.

Embody it, Max.

Wait.

We will take your clothes off.

(SHOUT, VOICES OF WAR)

Troop, loud!

It Bridger.

¡Jim Bridger!

Bad news.

The Sioux know where it is Carrington and they are going to attack them.

Will it last until we get there? No, sir.

The only alternative is that I cut them off

Take the Springfields.

Leave the cars here. -Yes sir.

(SHOUT)

Ah, Mrs. Gaines, how is your husband?

I don't know, it needs time

and I don't believe that Red Cloud He wants to give us a lot.

Now we have armed everyone men, even civilians.

If we get out of this, It will be thanks to her husband.

Ma'am, can I do something?

Good. As you say, ma'am.

(action music)

(Cornet, charging call)

(Cornet, charging call)

(bugle and gunshots)

We will fight hand to hand.

(Shouting)

We'll meet you at the ranch, Jim. Good luck.

See them together again and build their own ranch

it means a lot to me, Mr. Bridger.

With people like Gaines, This will be a land with a future.

Have you never thought about your future?

I asked you if you haven't thought never in your future.

Yeah,

once.

(melodic music)
