Get that powder dry.

General, I understand you are a better

military strategist than I, but before we're outnumbered,

why don't we attack?

Because I'm not ordering one.

You may reconnoiter with your cavalry after sundown.

But under no circumstances are you to engage.

Is that clear?

,, why don't you ride along with him?

Check.

Almonte, dispatch.

Find out where General is.

Right away, sir.

Dispatch.

Everybody in position.

You heard his Excellency.

Find General.

Kill me or let me go.

Yes, sir.

I done deserve a whoopin'.

But none of my previous masters used their fists.

They all had the decency to use the whip.

If I was going to kill you, I had many opportunities to.

You know the only time a bull survives in the rain?

Is when he has been extremely brave.

You are extremely brave.

You are free to go.

To join me in my tent.

You choose, me or Euster.

Can't stop now, sir!

Sherman! No!

Let's take them! Take them!

Charge!

Come on!

Slaughter!

General, Sherman's attacking!

Goddamn, Sherman!

The bastard's going to cost us the war.

I ordered him not to engage.

Hi-yah!

Ah!

Regroup!

Ah!

Fall back!

Fall back!

Stay back!

Halt!

Stay in the trees!

Form ranks!

Cover their retreat!

Stay in the treeline!

Take cover!

Fall back!

Sherman, look out!

Jamie, get on a horse, you ass!

Get the Colonel on a horse and..

Help!

Colby!

Help!

Dammit! Hi-yah!

Jack, get back!

Help me!

General!

Come on!

Hi-yah!

Fall back!

I am waiting.

Hi-yah!

Gentlemen, let's be clear.

I would choose death before betrayal.

There is no deceit in death.

Betrayal is the willful slaughter of trust.

Sir, we saw the field--

Your orders were not to engage.

Your insubordination could have cost us dearly.

As of this moment you are now reassigned to 2nd Infantry.

Sir--

Now get out of my sight.

The Calvary now belongs to Lamar.

Any objections?

We've bloodied them, sir.

Perhaps we could regroup for a counterattack.

General, they're on the defense.

I require trust from my officers.

George's sister's here.

Take out the main barricade and shallow points beyond.

Line of infantry 1,000 yards wide.

First regiment here.

Picker's rifles here.

Sherman's regiment on the flank.

Ah, I vote we receive an attack.

It's not up for vote, Moseley.

Besides that's exactly what Santa Anna thinks we'll do.

Now you might reconsider.

We ought not leave the security of the woods.

Where are the war dogs?

Colonel Lamar, I want your Calvary on the right.

Colonel Seguin, Los Tejanos will man the rear guard.

No, Unacceptable.

Understand, Juan, the courage of you and your men

is not in question here.

There is such a deep rooted hatred towards Mexicans

that I fear your men may have to duck

more than Sandanista bullets.

The killing may become indiscriminate.

But none of our comrades has earned us

a place alongside you, General.

My company insists on a front line attack.

Come with me.

We'll need a way to distinguish your Tejanos

from Mexican soldiers.

We'll wear goose feathers, as long as we can sink our teeth

into Santa Anna's neck.

I may have something else.

Let's use these instead.

Goldang, General Cos. Deaf.

Deaf!

Mexican reinforcements.

Best tell Houston.

Must've been marching all night.

They got to be tuckered.

Best get before they see us.

Yep.

Houston!

Ah!

They see us!

Run!

Excuse me, Senor Presidente.

General Cos's troops are all present and accounted for.

More exhausted from the long march.

They've been up all night.

So have I.

Your Excellency, we should attack now.

Houston wants us to attack.

So he can cut us down from the cover of those trees.

So we'll wait until and Urrea arrive?

Yes.

With overwhelming number, we can surround them.

Si.

Houston will have nowhere to run.

Feed the men in shifts.

And let them rest.

Yes, sir.

Houston's skirmish yesterday made no tactical sense.

I don't like it.

General, we take that bridge, you

won't have to worry about Santa Anna's reinforcements no more.

You'll be all b y your lonesome.

You know I can't afford to spare you even one extra man.

Forgive me, but destroying that bridge will

cut off our retreat as well.

That's a good point.

Then we better not lose.

Position a crack squadron of dragoons

to protect Vince's Bridge at all costs.

It's our life line.

Would it not be better to abandon this position

and we can rejoin all our armies,

and then pursue Houston on the offensive.

Why?

We have him!

Here and now.

Let his men sweat it out while our soldiers rest.

Yes, sir.

What can I do to comfort you, Antonio?

Knowles, get your slack ass up.

Good morning, sweetpea.

is up.

Lazy old biddy.

Come on now.

I saddled up your horse for you.

Come on out.

There she is.

Come on, sweet pea.

Ah, looking pretty.

Hey, girl.

All right.

That's enough.

It's time.

Knowles, mount up.

I don't know what's ailing you, son,

but whatever it is, you leave it here at camp.

Kick up.

The general is not to be disturbed.

Come no further.

What's he doing, sleeping?

Step away.

Step away.

- six days straight. - Now he sleeps.

If he truly wanted to attack, he

should have been at first line.

The weather had been fickle.

It's in our favor now.

Who the hell is this?

Lorca.

Where's General Houston?

State your business.

Saith Jehovah, raise your sword with abandon and outrage

till the rivers run red with heathen blood.

Amen.

You've come to bear arms with us,

then I'll assign you to Colonel Lamar's cavalry.

I'll be assigned no man, be clear on that.

But we'll kill meskins alongside you till every brown breathing

bastard lies dead.

Fair enough.

When I'm ready to attack, I'll give you a sign.

Watch for it.

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.

Sam, you can't trust that Lorca.

This day I'd ally with the devil himself.

I think you just did.

Behind the horses.

All right, all right, all right.

Now listen to me.

Dammit, you're supposed to be with the horses.

I know. Just listen to me.

I was wondering, if we pull up the bridge, how are we

supposed to get back across it?

We don't.

You hear that?

Something's in the marsh.

Halt!

Hands in the air.

Stop right there or I'll shoot.

He said stop.

It's me.

It's me, Manuel Flores.

Cease fire.

He's one of us.

Manuel, what news?

Santa Anna's army is resting.

His forces are tired.

And Manuel says it's time to attack.

More reinforcements are coming.

And Ms. West herself?

She said, tell General Houston he was right to wait,

but attack now.

Very well.

Sir.

You were born to live is free men.

One man took that freedom from you.

One man sent your sons and brothers to unmarked graves,

their women and children left homeless and afraid.

Burnt your farmlands.

Reduced your cherished homesteads to ashes.

One man, a tyrant, Santa Anna.

Today-- today, we avenge our dad.

We honor our loved ones.

Today, we are one.

We are all sons of Texas.

We give Texas our allegiance.

We give Texas our lives.

In the name of Texas, ready your weapons

and unsheathe your swords, and follow me to victory.

They're retreating.

So it seems.

The cowards.

Good.

Come on.

Keep it coming, keep it coming.

Go on.

I'll fire it up.

Tell them to play that song, "Come to the Bower."

Let me hear it.

Capitan.

Trail on forward.

Quietly, men.

Keep it quiet.

Fire cannon.

Remember the Alamo!

Follow me now.

Remember the Alamo.

Remember the Alamo.

Antonio!

I've waited to see the look of defeat in your eyes.

You killed my brother at the Alamo.

You killed, you murderer.

Form the line here.

Fire, men.

Enough, boys.

Spread out.

Whoo.

That's it.

I'm outta here.

Get.

Come on.

Sit down right here.

Sit down.

Get.

Get, dammit.

Take this.

I'm coming back for you.

Hey, hey.

Get off.

Get off.

Lower the cannon.

Move.

That Houston, bring the cannon, quickly.

Fire, men, now.

Fire.

Houston, take my horse.

Rally your men.

Go.

Captain Collins.

Colby.

I'm out of shots.

Stay put.

Surround him.

Hell with this.

Come on.

surround him.

That boy saved my life.

Damndest thing I've never seen.

Rusk.

Remember the Alamo.

Run.

You run first.

I am a Tejano.

I'll find.

If Jesus Christ Himself came down from heaven

and ordered me to start killing heathens, I would not do it.

I would not do it.

Help.

Tom.

It's just a scratch.

The enemy's been routed.

We have to stop the killing.

Get the men under control.

Cease fire.

Cease fire.

We don't take any prisoners, soldier.

Cease fire.

Cease fire.

They're surrendering.

Cease fire.

Cease fire.

We surrender.

I surrender.

We surrender.

The order, take prisoners.

Look at that.

Coming through.

I thought we won.

Those are prisoners, General.

We did win, Sam.

General Houston.

General.

Texas is ours.

An astounding victory, General.

What's your report?

Around 700 Mexicans killed, at least that many prisoners.

700?

What about our men?

Only nine dead and 33 wounded, sir.

34, counting you.

And Deaf is unaccounted for.

Rally the rangers.

Find him.

Yes, sir.

Has Santa Anna been captured?

They are hunting him, sir.

He must be taken alive, you hear me?

Without him, there's no victory.

We've won nothing.

Keep searching, men.

Down here.

Over here.

Colonel, colonel, colonel.

Benito?

Benito.

You are one of the keepers of my champion bird.s

Si.

are all dead.

We lost a lot of friends today.

You should be hanging curtains and darning

your fiance's socks by now.

I'm not going anywhere yet.

Drink this.

I can't clean this.

Give me some more water.

Do you love him?

Gavin's a good, hard man.

He's decent.

Daddy loved him.

He promised me to him years ago.

Answer the damn question.

You don't want what I've got to give, no way.

might be able to last.

Don't say such things.

You know, my whole life you've been telling me

what's good for me.

Becca, when you got a minute.

You'd be a damn fool to go with him.

You know, you're the fool, Kit Acklin.

Where am I?

Have they cut my leg off?

No, but your ankle was shattered.

If sepsis sets in, you will die a slow, miserable death.

Got any word from Emily?

No.

We've got to get you to New Orleans.

If not, should you fall unconscious,

I will have that leg off.

I'll take my chances in New Orleans.

Emily.

Am I dying,

Si.
