Little Big Horn!

On the Little Big Horn

In 1876

In their uniforms of blue

Ever dedicated and true

On that lawn

of the Little Big Horn

On the Little Big Horn

In 1876

There were 50 painted Sioux

...Uniforms of blue

shed the blood

on the Little Big Horn

John we can't go on like this.

Seeing each other at these
deadly dull recitals, these teas and...

It's the only way we can go on
as long as Phil is in the field.

When he comes back...

He'll go right out again.

3 weeks out of every 4,
he's in the field,

3 months out of every 4.

Do you know what my life was as

Mrs.Captain Donlin, until you
were transferred here?

Hello, Miss Anne.

Good evening, Sir.

I thought the concert tonight
was a little better than usual.

Captain Donlin's due in from the
field now any minute, isn't he?

Yes, he is Mrs. Owen.

My, that'll be interesting,

very interesting.

Oh, come on, Margaret, come on,
Anne.

Good evening, Lieutenant, Mrs.
Donlin.

Good evening, Sir.

Please come inside.

I think we'd better not.

Please.

You're eligible for resignation.

Apply for it.

Take me with you when you leave.

Do you realize what you'd be
leaving?

Of course, I do.

I'd be leaving loneliness.

Dull, drab, endless days and
nights.

I wouldn't have to live my life
out with a man I never see.

Go on being married to a uniform.

Do you know what Garrison life
is for me?

While the man I'm married to is out
serving and leading his precious army.

I'm left at home with a collection of
females chattering over their tea cups.

And about what?

The latest fashions and gowns cut from
butterick patterns two years old.

And sewing circles just
ripe with the latest gossip

on how the Colonel's horse is getting
along with the Major's horse.

But all the will be changed if
you resign and take me with you.

You think I can change all that.

I know you can,
it's all his fault.

I'll never have to see him again.

I hate him and everything
he stands for.

I still don't think you know
what you want.

I'll make it very plain.

That's pretty plain.

Phil!

I know I should say
"let me explain, Phil,"

but, you've heard about
everything there is to hear.

I don't want to ruin
anyone's life

let alone yours, Phil.

I loved you once.

But now I can't stand what
little I do see of you.

Will you take me with you?

I'll see you tomorrow after
you've talked this over with Phil.

I'll be back on patrol tomorrow...

for 3 weeks.

Well, I came over to kiss
my wife goodbye,

but it seems that's been
taken care of for me.

Heyaw!

What do you think?

It's water, alright, Captain
Donlin.

Then why didn't Eureka
report it?

He may be a corporal taking army
pay, but he's still an indian.

Sergeant Grierson,
first set of two's lead out

to that patch of trees
over there.

Moylan, pass the word back to
Capt. Donlin to come on in.

Before or after I get a drink.

You know the captain's rules,

we're not gonna touch it
either get goin'.

It's real wet.

Let's go!

Hey Shovels, unlock me.

I lost the key.

Oh, that's purely water.

We're gonna be alright, Tim.

Horses over here, Sir!

Well, that is smart.

I don't want these horses to
get at the water yet.

Let's run a picket line.

Alright, lead out.

Stop that man, Grierson.

On your feet, recruit.

Did you hear anybody give
you orders to break rank?

No, Sir.

See that he's last
at the water, Sgt.

Get back in ranks
and stay there!

Is it alright?

Clear as a bell,
not countin' the mud.

Alright, Sgt.

Lead out, except you!

I know, we're all dead tired.

We've been 3 weeks on patrol.

But if we don't ride
all night tonight,

we'll never reach camp
Yellowstone in time

to make our report to General
Custer

before he moves out for the
Little Big Horn river.

So we're gonna ride all night.

It'll be dark in less than
an hour.

That means, you've got
about an hour to sleep.

Relax fast.

It'll be good to get back
to came Yellowstone, Sir.

Us not knowin' where that
indian scout, Eureka, is and

all those Sioux on the move.

Get to sleep, Williams.

Sir, it's dark now.

Oh...alright

Get 'em up and on, Sgt.

Yes, Sir.

I want 'em out in 5 minutes.

Alright, up and on!

Capt. we got company.

Take cover along this bank.

Grierson. -Yes, sir.
-Let 'em come in.

Who is it, Sir?

Eureka.

I heard them coming, Captain,
and rode out

to see who it was.

Alright.

Lt Hayward,
reporting as ordered.

Who's orders?

Commanding officer, Fort Lincoln.

You mind if my officers water
their horses?

Later.

Picket line's over there, Sgt.
- Yes, Sir.

You mind if I have some water?

I don't mind anything you do
as long as

you make your report
and get going...

so I don't have to have
you around.

As you were.

An ex-professional like you
ought to be

able to turn up something
besides aces

all the time. How about a queen?

That's the way it goes.

You know what I'd like
even better

than some sleep?

What makes you think
there is anything better?

To see the Capt. knock
Hayward's head off.

Oh, you're just going on rumors
we've heard about the Lt.

It happened to me once.

I never got my hands
on the man who did it,

but I know how the Capt. feels.

You don't know how it feels
to keep your mouth shut.

Are you talking as
Major Grierson or Sgt Grierson?

Listen Moylan...

The horses are in better
condition than we are.

At least their tempers are.

Well get to the point, Hayward.

The orders were to contact
the patrols in this area

and order them back to the Fort.

The fort?

We're on our way to rejoin
Custer at Camp Yellowstone.

Not now.

What do you mean?

Custer and the 7th left Camp
Yellowstone yesterday

for the Little Big Horn river.

We've seen signs of
nearly a thousand Sioux

moving toward
the Little Big Horn.

Nearly a thousand?

I've called in 3 patrols, add
up the Sioux they've spotted

and you've got nearly 4000
on the move.

Custer can't have over 300 men.

They'll never find the pieces.

There's no way
they can be warned.

There is if I'm there.

If you're there?

You've been ordered back.

And I'll follow those orders,
but I'll go back my own way.

By way of the Little Big Horn?

This patrol is part of the 7th.

We're going to rejoin the 7th before
it reaches the Little Big Horn.

You'll have to make it in less
than 3 days.

The only point we can intercept
Custer is over 250 miles from here.

I don't care if it's over 250
thousand miles from here.

That's the 7th riding
into those Sioux.

There's plenty of Sioux between
and over that kind of terrain.

I've never order my men on a
suicide mission.

You won't have to,
you're men are not going.

But you are.

So that's it.

Well, it won't work, Phil, I've
already put in my application.

Your resignation, huh?

Was that application
signed and approved?

It will be by the time
I get back.

Then you're still in the 7th, Mister,
and that puts you under my orders.

I need a 2nd in command, in
case something happens to me.

Anything to say?

I hope you meant it when you
said my men didn't have to go.

I meant it.

Can I have your attention men?

Custer and the 7th have
already left for

the Little Big Horn.

You know what that means?

They'll never know what hit 'em.

Unless they know beforehand
what they are going up against.

None of us is in any condition
to ride 50 miles,

let alone 250 through what's
between us and the 7th

but we're gonna do it.

And we won't have time
to go around obstacles,

we're gonna go through 'em.

No matter what or who they are.

We need fresh horses.
Sgt Mills,

exchange your horses with ours

and get your detail ready
to go back to Fort Lincoln.

Yes, Sir.

Back to Fort Lincoln?

Is that where they came from?

Well, sure, say maybe we
can find out something.

Any of you men hear of a baby
being born on the Fort

before you left,
name of Hoffstetter.

Come on, Come on
Get the lard out!

It's my wife, she's not young,
old as me.

Having her first baby
at her age is...

it's my wife, I wanna hear
about her.

Could you tell me if you
were called to stand

at burial formation?

Come on.

Hofstetter...

All hospital reports have
to pass through my desk.

When I left, Mrs. Hofstetter
was in fine condition

and no trouble was expected.

Thank you, Lt.

He didn't handle anything
but quartermaster reports

across his desk.
What he go and lie for?

About another man's wife, too.

I'd say kind of a decent lie.

My detail's ready.

Sir, I.. Capt. would you...

Trooper Mason, Sir,
requesting permission to

accompany the patrol.

Not this patrol, Mason,
you're going back to the Fort.

But, Sir, I...

Get back there and mount up.

Yes, Sir.

Why you want to go, Mason?

Well, Sir, you're going to try
and warn the 7th.

I'd kind of like to be along
when you do.

It's my father, Sir.

He's up there with 'em.

Sgt Mason, D Troop.

A lot of Sioux between us and
your father, Mason.

I know.

Alright, you can come along.

Thank you, Sir!

I thought you said none of
my men would have to go.

I didn't order him,
he volunteered.

Have 'em climb aboard, Sgt.

Prepare to mount!

Mount!

Any report to take
to Fort Lincoln, Sir?

Report that this patrol
is rejoining the 7th.

That's all, lead 'em out.

Lead out.

I was kind of countin'
on gettin' back to Fort Lincoln.

That's the way it goes.

So, we're not goin' back
to the Fort.

So what's at the Fort?

The guard house.

By this time,
you're own personal property.

I make you a present of it,
I will it to you as of now.

You heard the Lt say that she
was alright, Arndt.

Up until yesterday.

I gotta be there when it happens.

I got no right to leave her
alone.

She's not young anymore.

You could send me
on this mission alone.

I would accomplish what
you want and

you'd be saving the lives
of these men.

You'd never make it.

That's the point, isn't it?

Two's right.

Forward!

think we'll stop long Mr. Vest?

Don't you think we'd better?

I don't think General Custer
is making any long stops.

We won't waste any time boy.

Your father was never
one for forced marches.

You'll slow the General up.

Common horse sense.

You mean there's a girl like
this?

She's coming down from
Canada to marry you?

Sight unseen?

Miss Lutty and me joined the friendly
correspondence society about the same time.

Now with the first
transportation from Virginia,

she'll be on it.

One thing sure you didn't
send her your picture.

Get the men on their feet
Grierson.

But they can hardly...

On their feet Grierson
until they move out.

Yes, Sir.

All right. Off an on!

My horses know enough
not to lie down

when their muscles
are this worn out.

The Lt. would have made
a good bet.

The way it goes...

You heard me. Off and on!

Off your butts and on your feet.

Lt. Hayward's orders.

Now the wife stealer
is giving orders.

Wipe it off your nose Zecca.

You had a change of heart
Corporal.

Did a guy from Kanas city

or didn't a guy from Kanas City
run off with your wife?

Come off of it Hofstetter.

Did you forget what Lt. Hayward
said about your wife?

She's alright.

The Lt. aint from Kanas city.

More to the right.

Make him out?

Quince and Arrika
are coming back.

Ah, the ravine must be empty.

Far in as they went.

It's good enough for us.

Look Phil,...

Yes Lt.

What you're doing on account
of me means

risking the life of every man
on this patrol.

This patrol isn't being made
on account of you.

I'm sure the men are going to be
very touched

by your concern for their lives.

I used to like them,
they used to like me...

Before you turned into a wife
stealer?

You're Celie's Husband.

That's the way she wants it to be.
If you listen to me you realize...

I never want to hear about
Celie and you again.

You're going to let every member
of this patrol be killed

just so I'm included, murder
according to regulations.

I'll be the judge of murder Lt.

And you go up against me
just once...

The ravine clear?
- Yes, Sir.

But they've left many
small parties behind.

There's other signs.

Bunch of rear guards wandering
around between here

and where we're going.

Any of those parties spots us
they send a signal

and the whole bunch
will be down on us.

In the ravine there might only
be a one heathen.

Excuse me, Arika.

But it only takes one.

how long would it take?

Might lose six or seven hours

and save six or seven lives.

You're interested
in saving a few lives, Lt.

I'm interested in saving
a great many.

Have the call to mount up.

He says the word Lt.
He's in charge.

Take the point Arika.

Yes, Sir!

Great spot for a trap
they'll expect us to go around.

I hope you're right Capt.

Take the first set of two's and
cover the rear Lt.

We don't want any stragglers.

Pass the word. No noise of any
kind. No matter what.

Didn't you hear the
orders not to fire?

Yes, Sir.

Who Fired it?

I got over anxious.

An Indian watching us Sir.
I saw him up there.

Wings on him? Fly away?

He was up there, Sir.

You and Mr. Hayward must have
better eyes than the rest of us

We still have a couple of minutes
before he can send up a signal.

I'm going up to find out

No more shooting Lt.

We haven't time to wait for you.

I'll catch up.

Thanks Lt. He was up there Sir

I'd like to go with you, Sir.

Keep going.

Yes, Sir.

Don't want to lose you.

No future in that.

Good thing they didn't get
a blanket on that fire

from this height, the smoke signal would
have carried for twenty five miles.

Let's go.

Pass the word.
Mr. Hayward's coming.

Mr. Hayward's coming!

Mr. Hayward's coming!

Mr. Hayward's coming!

Mr. Hayward's coming!

Lt. Hayward's coming, sir!

You take care of him Lt.?

He took care of both of them.

Kind of good to have someone around
to look after our interests.

Take a point with Arika, Quince.
- Ya.

About a mile ahead.

Get a movin' Grierson.

I don't see any smoke.

You won't.

You're not counting on me not
coming back, weren't you?

The only thing I'm counting
on, mister,

is getting this column through
to the seventh.

Still the men are tired.
They need some rest.

The men will get some rest
when I say so, Lt.

Phil...?

I meant to do this before.

I'm giving you back the
only part of Celie I had.

I had this made for her
in St. louis.

Cost me a month's pay.

And she gave it to you.

She doesn't even know I have it.

It seems sending for you is the
only way I can see you.

Nearly three weeks you haven't even
looked at me let alone spoken to me.

We have to get this settled
before Phil gets back.

At least this time we're alone.

Didn't you want to see me?

I'd rather spend one minute
with you than...

I'm leaving when you leave.

With you

You think you've made
up your mind, don't you?

Yes, I have.

That's why I haven't seen you
for nearly three weeks.

Why?

We've both been making up
our minds.

Yes.

You've come to one conclusion...

Yes.

But I've come to another.

What other is there?

I know you well enough to know

that before everything else
you're honest.

With yourself and with me.

I know you'll give me
an honest answer.

Answer to what?

If your husband was leaving the
army and going back east, as I am,

would you be willing
to leave him?

That's what I thought.

Thats why I put in my application
for transfer instead of...

instead of resignation.

Wait for him, Celie.

I'm going out tomorrow.
I have orders to call in Phil's patrol.

Found a spot with water
two miles up ahead

make a good place
to stop for awhile.

Except the Sioux would expect any
detachment in this area to stop there.

Only other water is over
behind that shoulder.

That's four hours
off our course.

Custer's not going four hours
off his course.

We'll _ back up ahead.

And double the guards.

Still being kind of collusive
aren't ya Pete?

What of it?

You can't go on keeping
to yourself like this.

I out rank both Donlin
and Haywood, Vet.

Major Grierson, there was a war
going on and then the war was over.

I wasn't broken, I was what
they called turned back.

Too many officers
for a peacetime army.

You can't let it eat you.

Just that I'm either one thing
or the other.

The officers think I'm spying
on them for the men,

and the men think I'm spying
on them for the officers.

I'll stay by myself, Vet.

You'll change your mind.

Will I?

You've got three hours
to sleep.

That's whatever time it takes
to get those shelters up.

Custer has to halt at night,
too, Mason.

Yes, Sir.

We'll get there in time.

Thank you, Sir.

I know we will.

Get your shelter up.

Yes, Sir.

Kind of young for soldering ain't
ya?

How old you gotta be?

A feller 'round my age.

You nineteen yet?

Almost.

How long you been in?

Nearly six months.
How long you been in?

Nearly three years.

Well... Harvey here is the real
recruit... Three months

been kind of sick lately,
though.

It's here. I -
I can't keep my food down.

What I'd give to be back in the
Hospital at Fort Lincoln.

You think I'm afraid?

I'm not afraid, it's just that I
can't get rid of this knot.

I'm not afraid.
- Nobody said you were.

Was that a whip at me?

I don't make any bones about it.

I've been in fist fights,
sure, but

I've never meet a man who
wanted to take my life.

Actually kill me.

Let alone a Sioux indian
in full war paint.

I don't think you even want
us to get threw to Custer.

Well... a man can get killed
awful dead with Custer.

Yeah, I keep thinking about
that.

I'm sorry Davey.

Mr. Hoffstetter, I guess Fort Lincoln
would look pretty good to you, too.

Get up.

Walk over here with me.

You want to get back to that hospital
in Fort Lincoln as bad as I do.

You ask for herd duty tonight,
you hear?

Mr. Hofstetter, I don't think I can...can
stand up good enough for herd duty.

You want to get back to
that hospital don't you?

You ask for herd duty tonight.

Sure, Mr. Hofstetter.

Alright. Everybody but those in
picket and herd duty turn in.

We still have nearly two hundred
miles ahead of us

and less than 48 hours
to do it in.

Better sleep fast.

Sleep is wonderful.

If I only knew what that
Indian Arika was up to.

Good night DeWalt.

Yeah, I hope so.

It's too early for birds to
be awake Mr. Hofstetter.

Any Sioux around here are more
interested in the patrol we left.

Take it easy, Tim.

Nothing is going to stop us
from getting back.

Mr.

Mr. Hofstetter.

Mr. Hofstetter...

Bunch of crazy fools.

They stopped me. I didn't even
get my hands on one of 'em.

You can thank the Lt. for coming
on after you.

I can thank them
for stopping me.

We haven't time to burry Harvey.

I'm not going to read you off.

You probably feel as bad
about him as I do.

Yes Sir.

You ran out on the others.

They want to get back to the
fort as much as you do.

I'll be watching you.
You try it again.

I'll shoot you down
like a deserter.

Now get your horse
and let's get out of here.

You cam back Mr. Haywood.

You think I wouldn't?

Hofstetter?

You know what happens
to a man

who deserts in the presence
of the enemy?

Yes Sir.

Private Harvey must have
gone out of his head

wandered out of camp
and got lost.

Hofstetter just
went out to find him.

Would you testify to that Corbo?

Yes Sir, I purely would.

Where is Harvey?

Dead.

Take your Posts.

I take is some Sioux got away?

Now we really got to keep
moving.

See anything?

No, but I'd like to.

What do you mean?

I'd like to see on the other
side of that ridge.

Where Little Big Horn is.

I'd like to see how many
are there. Waiting.

Hiding.

I think a lot of your father.

Makes me kind of wish I had

somebody close to me
riding with Custer.

You crazy?

Well, it might make me feel...
different than I do.

MIght.

Grierson told me to relieve you
on picket.

You staying picket?

Ah, I know how you feel
about me but...

I'll keep my eyes open.

Some times the rabbit makes a
better lookout than a bulldog.

Cold rations again?

Unless you invented
a closed fire.

What do you mean cold rations?

Here I kept the fire going
all day so your food

would be hot when
you came home dear.

Try the coffee too,
It'll burn you, watch out.

Thanks.

Hey Shovels, you ever though
of wearing a black suit?

In memory of you dear
departed brain.

Like I was saying...

You boys don't know
when I'm well off.

Why should I wanna go
back to the fort?

If they let me out
of the guard house

they'll give me stable duty.
Then kitchen Duty.

And after that if things
go real good...

They'll let me dig a couple
latrines.

And why?

You know what they found
in his issued chest

before we come on patrol?

Wait a minute snake head...

The Col's Gold watch, the Maj's

silver watch, and my brass
watch.

A man's gotta know the time.

Once a thief always a thief.

Takes one to know one.

I ask my self why I put up with
any...

"Give me one reason" I ask.

"Take a reason from one to ten"
I answer.

All ten come out the same.

It's because I like having
one guy around

with less brains than I got.

Hey, Arika.

See?

That's as far as I can
get them off now.

But one of these days,
I'll be able to slip...

What was the idea of that Danny?

I wanted to see
what he'd try

when he thought
I was helpless.

Crow hates the Sioux.

He a crow.

Crow, Sparrow, Humming bird,
he's still an indian.

Who we fightin' if it ain't
Indians?

Me, I think he's going
to lead us into a trap.

Well you'll sure be ready with
that thing on your wrist.

Hey, wait a minute. Don't go away!
leave me like this!

I'm going to lose this key
one of these times...

On purpose.

You wouldn't.

Would you?

We can't wait any longer for
Quince to come back.

Maybe he's found something.

Or been found.

Have them mount up Sergeant.

And send somebody out
with Arika to ride point.

Williams! Come on down.

All right! Off and on!

Climb aboard.

Zecca?

Yeah Sarg.

You're ridding point with Arika.

Sure, Sarg, I...

That's a joke, aint it?

Me ride with Arika?

You sure you know
what I'm doing?

Get going!

Oh, listen, Sarg, I-
- That's an order, Zecca!

You know what's wrong
with this army?

It's too military.
I might as well throw this key away.

Climb aboard.

Nice day to stay alive,
aint it Arika?

You ride a little ahead,
I got a slow horse.

You mean all these tracks
weren't made at the same time?

Some passed yesterday,

some this morning,

a few only two,
three hours ago.

When they going to get together,
I hope not.

Some distance ahead where
the ground lies good.

Quince!
Quince! Come on!

No!

Let go of me,
ya dirty Red Skull!

This is a Sioux trick!
- Maybe he's still alive!

What did they do?

Ze... Zecca...

quick, shoot me.

Please shoot me.

Zecca!

Thanks Corp.

Well?

The Sioux haven't
bunched up yet.

At least not in the next seven
miles.

Grierson!

Sir, all I do know is the Sioux
haven't bunched up yet.

All I know is that...

Quince and Arika
dying like that.

What do you want me to say?
I'm sorry.

Are you, Sir?

Take your post Zecca.

Yes, Sir.

I want a man out front
riding point.

Yes, Sir.

But I'm not going to order
anybody to do it.

Use DeWalt's cards.
Cut for it.

I'd like to volunteer, Sir.

There'll be no volunteering.

Could I speak to you as...

As Maj. Grierson to Capt.
Donlin?

No. Just Grierson to Donlin.

Well go ahead.

I'm not a brave man
but the others have

got a reason for getting
back to the fort.

I figure what's the most
riding point could cost me?

My Life?

Mine's not a life a man wants
to hang on to.

If I get back to the fort,

I'll get out of the Army
and the Army is all I know.

I'd just assume ride
out front, Sir.

You'll take your chances
cutting cards with the others.

Yes, Sir.

Break out your deck DeWalt.

We're cutting high card to see
who's riding out in front.

Cut cards?

With DeWalt's deck?

One thing's sure,
DeWalt won't cut himself the job.

That eliminates cutting.

You know the backs of those
cards as well as the front.

Easy!

Everybody is a little edgy.

Common horse sense
is to draw by rank.

Lead out, Grierson.

Remember high man goes.

Seven of spades.

Jack of Diamonds.

Why does anybody
got to ride point

when it's safer to ride
in a bunch?

The Army goes on the theory
that the loss of a few

to save many brings
best results.

Draw Corporal.

If you say so Lt.

Queen of clubs.

Oh I can purely draw.

Four of Spades.

Make it an Ace.
Big as they come.

Seven of Hearts.

Queen of Spades.

That ought'a be easy
for you to get under.

Duce of Spades.

Like I thought.

The lowest of the deck.

That's the way it goes.

You don't have to draw,
Zecca.

I want to draw Lt.

Eight of Hearts.

Now hold on a minute.
I got more time in that you.

Be there Ace.

An Ace!
I got it! It's me!

Jack of Clubs.

Draw Stevie.

High man has
already drawn, Sir.

There's still three Aces
left in the pack.

Draw Stevie.

Ace of Hearts.

Tie.

Stevie, you and Mason
will have to re-draw.

I drew the Ace first.

There wont be any re-draw.

I was the dealer and the
dealer called Duces wild.

Maybe I didn't tell you.
Right Lt.?

Right.

Good luck.
- Thanks.

I got a big mouth Al.

Any time you want
to belt it you can.

Yeah.
I'll be waiting.

Catch up.

DeWalt's riding point.

If my calculations are right we've
just under a hundred miles to go.

We'll hit the Little Big Horn
about two, tomorrow afternoon.

I said DeWalt's riding point.

And you've been
over there sympathizing.

It's very easy to come in
on a tough job

and side against the man
who has to get it done.

A whole regiment is marching
into a trap and you're

mothering a fifteen man patrol
that can save it.

You ready to move out?

Alright Grierson.

Climb aboard.

Butt those saddles,
off and on!

They do those things all
at once to Quince...

or slowly?

They'll do the same to every man
with Custer if they catch em.

We'll be there with him, Danny.

In plenty of time.

Try those.
They'll take your mind off of things.

Let's get going.

Halt!

Haven't bunched up yet.

Far as the valley anyway.

Two that spotted me
were all I saw.

Thanks DeWalt.

I guess I've gone about
as far as I can.

Don't worry.
We'll fix it so you can ride.

Just aint what I...
Haven't go an inch of skin left on me.

I couldn't stand being
put next to a horse.

Grierson!

Get DeWalt over there under the
shade of that tree.

We're leaving him Sir?

That's right.

Ge him moved.

Zecca, Vet, Moylan...
Give me a hand with DeWalt.

Shovels, spread your blanket
out onto that rock.

Well that's how it is.
We've got to go on.

Who will you leave with him?

No one.

That's what has to be done.

Sacrifice a few to save many.

Be careful with him.
Have the men fill his canteen...

Be real careful,
so he can die comfortably.

Have the fill his canteen
with theirs

and see that he has plenty
of rations.

Leave your canteen and your
spare rations with him.

That sounds like we're going
to leave him here alone?

That's right.

You'll leave his horse, Sir?

A horse can be spotted.

He wont need a horse.

I could use a carbine though.
I lost mine.

Hal bring a carbine.

This was Tim Harvey's.

I'll be alright.

Have 'em mount up, Sergeant.

Good luck DeWalt.

Why that dirty coal livered...

I'm not going to ride off
and leave Al.

You heard the word,
climb aboard.

Butt those saddles.

I said climb aboard!

The way it goes...

You wondering
what goes on

in the mind of a man
left behind to die?

I'm wondering which one
to send ahead.

Every man you've sent out to ride
point has been killed or injured.

You think knowing that makes it
easier to choose?

Who would you send?

That's easy...

He sent Mr. Haywood
to ride point.

What's he trying to do? Murder the Lt.?
- You think he wouldn't?

Look what he's doing to DeWalt.

The Command is forward!

Route order!

This lady is coming all
the way down from Canada

just purely to be
Mrs. James Corbo.

Say, maybe she's already
at the fort?

Just waiting for me.

Mason?

I told you we're not
putting up our shelter.

I'm following Capt.
Dolin's orders and so should you be.

You never soldiered
with Al DeWalt did you?

Now Mr. Haywood
ain't come back.

So you going to
put up your shelter,

turn in and sleep
in peace, huh?

Don't any of you want to get up
there to reach the seventh?

We all do son.

But we figure this is the only
way we got a chance.

Is that the way you figure,
Mr. Vet?

Guess I do, Davey.

Got kind of fond of the Lt.

We don't need to kid.
Come on, let's get the horses.

Where's Sergeant Grierson
and Zecca?

On Picket, Sir.

Gave orders to get your shelters
up.

We're going ahead Capt.

To find Mr. Haywood.

I could have each one of you
shot for this.

Like you did DeWalt Capt.

I wish every man who's ridden
point had come back.

They haven't.

But we're blind without a point.

Now get your shelters up and turn in.
Those are orders.

We're not going to disobey
those orders Capt.

It's just that we're not going
to obey them.

Can I tell you something, Sir?

Speak out, Sergeant.

A man looks at it like this.

Sacrificing a few
to save many is alright,

as long as he's not
one of the few.

It's hard to be one
of the few, Captain.

We figure Lt. Haywood
thinks like us.

Which makes him
our only chance.

Or maybe he's just hurt out
there.

Waiting for us.

We're going up ahead to see.

And if they bunched up,
they jump you

like Haywood
and nobody gets through.

All of you heard my orders.

Now get your shelters up
and turn in.

Captain!

Captain Donlin!

It's Mr. Haywood!

Mr. Haywood is coming in.

Well they've bunched up
but they're not waiting for us.

Looks like they found something
more important up ahead.

I don't know what.

Follow me.

This isn't going to settle
anything and it violates

every regulation I know of.

It may be the only satisfaction
I'll ever get.

No rank?

That's right.

Just you. Just me.

You got them believing
what I stand for is wrong.

Did it ever occur to you
you might be?

You've seen this patrol lose men
but their only a fraction

of what will be lost
if we don't make it.

The only way we can
make it is my way.

You ready?

I've been ready a long time!

Well?

As long as nobody want to waste time
sleeping, that's alright with me.

Sergeant McCloud,

send in Srg. Grierson

and have a patrol saddle up.

I want two men to ride point.
You know the risk you'll be running.

Me Sir.

Me too, Sir.

Alright.

These last fifteen miles are
going to be...

pretty rough.

Let's get going.

You alright, Sir?

I guess this is what the Sioux
thought was more important.

Grierson and Vet.

Vet!

Been dead a couple of hours.

Maybe you'd better not see her.

She was coming down
to marry Corbo.

We can't wait to burry her.

Sorry Corbo.

Can I have a minute with her?

Make it fast.

Why you're even prettier
than your Picture.

I would have been
purely proud.

Mrs. James Corbo.

Dismount!
Fight out on foot!

Stevie Dismount!

Spread out!

Corbo!
Drive off those horses!

Hofstetter, cover him!

Go on!

That's all.

There's your Little Big Horn
river.

Look what's waiting for
Custer to come through.

Not a sign of Custer yet.

We made it in time.

Til we get threw those
Sioux we haven't made it.

Let's get back.

Pretty bad, Sir?

What's the report?

We're only a mile from the
Little Big Horn river Sir.

My,... the 7th haven't shown
on the other side yet.

There's only one way in or out on
the other side of the river, Sir.

The Sioux got it blocked solid.

Which means if we're going to
cross the Little Big Horn we...

We can't go around them.

We gotta go threw them.

They'll be waiting for us, Sir.

They spotted me and Mason.
We saw their signal.

That's all.

It'll take too long to go
around.

but it's up to you.

I could order men
to risk their lives

as long as I could
risk mine with them, but

now that there's
no more risk for me,

I can't give that kind
of an order.

This is the reason
I brought you along.

You're in command now.
You got to make the decision.

Make the best you know how.

We made it in time after all.

I think the men left behind would
have thought it was worth it.

Your way go us this far

and there's a chance it will
get us across the river.

Some of the men
will come with me.

I think they should be given
the choice but,

but that's up to you.

It's not up to him
any longer Lt.

It's up to you.

Take your place Sergeant.

Alright Sir.

Company front.

We haven't time to go around.
We're going straight through.

We go in strong
with plenty of fanfare

there's a chance they'll think
we're in front of a regiment.

That's our only chance.

Some of you may feel it's wrong
to sacrifice a few to save many.

Those who feel that way
I give permission to turn back.

Shovels?

Zecca?

Moylan?

Vet?

Grierson?

Mason?

Somebody has to sound
the charge, Sir.

Make it loud, Stevie,
for the ones we left behind.

Charge!
