Are you sure it was
Red Cloud who
attacked the wagon?
49
00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:12,170
It's his warriors, sir.
No doubt about it.
He wants that gold.
50
00:07:12,214 --> 00:07:14,956
Possibly. But his
logic escapes me.
51
00:07:14,999 --> 00:07:17,524
Little more than a week.
We will be placing the gold
in Red Cloud's hands.
52
00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:19,482
Why would he
want to steal it?
53
00:07:19,526 --> 00:07:21,528
For ethical reasons,
I'd say.
54
00:07:22,616 --> 00:07:24,879
Most peculiar
code of ethics.
55
00:07:24,922 --> 00:07:26,446

them at West Point.

Go on, Captain.
57
00:07:31,799 --> 00:07:35,106
If he accepts the gold,
he can't fight you for a year
without breaking his word.
58
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:37,718
By stealing it he can
go to war and still
retain his honor.

would be inopportune.It will come, Major.

This country's being
opened up
to the settlers.
61
00:07:43,288 --> 00:07:46,466
That's a clear violation
of our agreement
with the Indians.

you're right, Jamie.

alter the situation.

one stab at
the gold, Major.

Do you think he will let the
next wagon go through?

00:08:16,278 --> 00:08:17,975
No, I think it's quite
possible he will
raid the wagon,

the gold has already left.

runs right down the
middle of that square.
490
00:43:43,795 --> 00:43:45,710
The only neutrals are out
in that graveyards.
491
00:43:45,753 --> 00:43:48,234
Then you will not want
to be consorting
with the enemy.
492
00:43:54,196 --> 00:43:56,590
The war goes well
for you, huh, Major?
493
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,157
You may go, Mr. Salignac.
494
00:44:10,125 --> 00:44:12,519
Red Cloud refuses to
come to the Fort.
495
00:44:12,562 --> 00:44:14,608
Is that Salignac's
doing?
496
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:16,654
Salignac was merely
the intermediary.
497
00:44:16,697 --> 00:44:21,223
No, Red Cloud has offered
to meet us in two days
at the bend of the river.
498
00:44:21,267 --> 00:44:24,792
What would you do?I'd ride it in full force
to meet him, sir.
499
00:44:24,836 --> 00:44:28,491
And pay over the gold.If you recall, my orders
are to withhold the gold
500
00:44:28,535 --> 00:44:30,406
until we are aware of
Red Cloud's intentions.
501
00:44:31,930 --> 00:44:35,150
Are those Union orders,
or Confederate?
502

00:44:42,244 --> 00:44:47,554
The bitterest choice
of all. Whether to break
your oath or your heart.
504

I've always had the
greatest admiration for
your decisiveness, Jamie.
505
00:44:55,301 --> 00:44:57,564
Which call would
you listen to?
506
00:44:57,607 --> 00:44:59,305
I don't have any choice
to make, Major.
507
00:45:00,175 --> 00:45:02,569
You have now.
508
00:45:02,612 --> 00:45:06,268
I've just received word to
release all Southern troops
whose loyalty to the Union
509
00:45:06,312 --> 00:45:07,313
is in doubt.
510
00:45:20,979 --> 00:45:25,026
As my last official act,
Major Tenslip,
511
00:45:25,070 --> 00:45:27,550
you are now
Acting Commandant
of Fort Laramie.
512
00:45:29,422 --> 00:45:30,945
Effective immediately, sir?
513
00:45:31,946 --> 00:45:32,947
Immediately.
514
00:45:43,305 --> 00:45:44,654
For your first command.
515
00:45:47,353 --> 00:45:48,658
Good luck, Jamie.
516
00:45:49,616 --> 00:45:53,794
Thank you, sir.Caswell.
517
00:45:53,838 --> 00:45:55,970
Yes, sir?Will you send
Sergeant Darrach in.
518
00:46:12,465 --> 00:46:14,075
Reporting, sir,
519
00:46:14,119 --> 00:46:16,774
Sergeant Darrach,
pass the word along
that any Southern trooper
520
00:46:16,817 --> 00:46:19,951
who desires it
may receive an
honorable discharge.
521
00:46:19,994 --> 00:46:22,910
I'm ready to ride South
to Texas with them.
522
00:46:22,954 --> 00:46:24,869
What about the gold,
sir?
523
00:46:24,912 --> 00:46:30,918
Son, we can either
leave the gold or
our honor behind.
524
00:46:30,962 --> 00:46:34,922
Which would you choose?We've never questioned
the Major's orders before
525
00:46:34,966 --> 00:46:37,185
and we ain't about
to do it now.
526
00:46:38,143 --> 00:46:39,797

Major.
527
00:46:42,147 --> 00:46:44,976
We will ride whenever
you're ready.Yes, sir.
528
00:46:48,153 --> 00:46:50,764
Major, you don't stand a
chance of getting through.
529
00:46:50,808 --> 00:46:52,984
You've got a 100 miles
of Sioux territory
to cross.
530
00:46:53,027 --> 00:46:56,596
We're no longer soldiers,
the Sioux have no
quarrel with us.
531
00:46:56,639 --> 00:46:59,773
I'm sorry, Jamie,
this is between
Red Cloud and you now.
532
00:47:01,253 --> 00:47:02,950
Now may I borrow
your office?
533
00:47:28,889 --> 00:47:32,806
Major, so Major Bradner
has made his decision.
534
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:34,373
Someday I must
make mine.
535
00:47:34,416 --> 00:47:36,462
I will save you the
trouble, Salignac,
536
00:47:36,505 --> 00:47:39,465
I will give you exactly
15 minutes to clear out
of this Fort.
537
00:47:40,379 --> 00:47:41,989
You are a foolish man.
538
00:47:42,033 --> 00:47:46,254
No, just a careful one.
You can ride out
with the Southerners
539
00:47:46,298 --> 00:47:47,734
or go back to the Sioux.
540
00:47:47,777 --> 00:47:50,302
Oh, but you see,
again you ask me
to make a choice.
541

have a good ride.

I will stay here
with the others.

If a relieving garrison
comes through, I'm sure
Jamie will see you get home.
547
00:48:30,472 --> 00:48:35,129
If it's up to Jamie, I'm
more likely to see the
inside of an internment camp.
548
00:48:36,478 --> 00:48:39,264
I suppose that's what
this is now, isn't it?
549
00:48:39,307 --> 00:48:44,312
No, it's still Fort Laramie.
Jamie's the same man.

one day you may have the
opportunity of fighting him.

I will move my things
from your new quarters.
555

Isn't that Red Cloud himself?Yes, Major.
556

for the powwow and to
receive his tribute.

come here for

01:02:20,258 --> 01:02:23,652
Salignac, what are
their chances?They don't have any.
655
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,923
You can't just take
Salignac's word for it,
Jamie.
656
01:02:32,966 --> 01:02:37,318
And if I refuse his word?
The Major dies
and every man with him.
657
01:02:37,362 --> 01:02:40,017
And Red Cloud
will run wild out there.
658
01:02:40,060 --> 01:02:43,455
Now if it's a trap you will
be committing the worst
military blunder since
659
01:02:43,498 --> 01:02:45,762
the Charge of the
Light Brigade.
660
01:02:47,851 --> 01:02:51,680
The Major always knew
everything that
happened in this fort.
661
01:02:51,724 --> 01:02:54,031
You see most of it
from this window.
662
01:02:56,685 --> 01:02:58,383
Things look different
from in here.
663
01:03:00,428 --> 01:03:02,953
Maybe you can
see the view for
yourself some day.
664
01:03:08,436 --> 01:03:11,309
Call out the men.
I will take a volunteer
detachment.
665
01:03:12,832 --> 01:03:13,920
Yes, sir.
666
01:03:20,971 --> 01:03:24,496
Jamie, you are going?
667
01:03:24,539 --> 01:03:30,807
Yes.You know, you don't have
to do this for my sake.
668
01:03:30,850 --> 01:03:35,115
Melissa, if I'm sure of
nothing else,
I know this is right.
669
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:38,466
And that's not easy
to decide any longer.
670
01:03:38,510 --> 01:03:43,689
Oh, it used to be simple
enough. Fight the enemy,
hate them, defeat them.
671
01:03:46,648 --> 01:03:49,782
But with men like
Major Bradner
on the other side, it's...
672
01:03:49,826 --> 01:03:54,439
Well, I can say no worse
of them than they fought
for what they believed in.
673
01:03:54,482 --> 01:03:56,310
I believe I have
to go to his help.
674
01:03:58,182 --> 01:04:00,445
That's the best answer
I can give you, Melissa.
675
01:04:00,488 --> 01:04:05,624
Jamie. Uncle Seth says
we're the same people,
we've always been.
676
01:04:06,930 --> 01:04:10,498
Have we changed,
you and I?
677
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,545
I will always love you,

Oh, Jamie.
679
01:05:06,728 --> 01:05:08,513
Something I could do,
Major?
680
01:05:10,558 --> 01:05:13,039
Yes, you should get
as much sleep as
you can, Caswell.
681
01:05:13,083 --> 01:05:15,694
Yes, sir.
So should you, sir.
682
01:05:15,737 --> 01:05:20,699
Oh, I was just
stretching my legs.Well, I will walk with you.

JAMES: Make a circle.
685
01:05:40,849 --> 01:05:42,939
The Major's men
must be in the center.

Cooper.
687
01:05:46,333 --> 01:05:48,814
Yes, sir.
688
01:05:48,857 --> 01:05:52,426
I want to get through
the Sioux lines and make
contact with Major Bradner.
689
01:05:52,470 --> 01:05:56,735
Think you can find
an opening?I think I can make one.
690

Take as many men
as you need.
691

I'll only need one man.

Wake up, wake up.What is it?
694
01:07:29,132 --> 01:07:31,177
The Sioux, I think
they're sneaking up.
695
01:07:33,788 --> 01:07:36,182
What is this?I was afraid you'd walk
in your sleep, Major.
696
01:07:36,226 --> 01:07:38,228
Well, of all...
Take it off.Yes, sir.
697
01:07:39,968 --> 01:07:41,579
Over here.
698
01:07:47,237 --> 01:07:48,934

Some mess you Rebs
got yourself into.
700
01:07:51,067 --> 01:07:53,547
You alone?Major Tenslip's out there
with a detachment,
701
01:07:53,591 --> 01:07:55,245
right on the other side
of the Indian lines.
702
01:07:55,288 --> 01:07:57,638
Can you get through?I will go back
and bring them back.
703
01:07:57,682 --> 01:08:00,163
But you make sure
you hold your fire
when we get here.
704
01:08:00,206 --> 01:08:03,731
That won't be hard.
We ain't got very much
ammunition left.
705

Is that right? You Southern
boys must don't know
how to fight a war, do you?

Now listen, mister...As you were.
707
01:08:10,303 --> 01:08:12,436
We need all the help
we can get.
708
01:08:12,479 --> 01:08:14,133
We will be back
before daybreak.

Good luck.

You know, I bet you
really mean that.

We still have a surprise
waiting for them.

01:08:36,286 --> 01:08:37,287
Yes sir.

01:08:38,288 --> 01:08:41,465
Oh, you will
need this Major.
715
01:08:45,469 --> 01:08:47,384
I resigned
my commission.
716
01:08:47,427 --> 01:08:49,647
That doesn't take effect
till after the battle.
717
01:08:52,215 --> 01:08:53,825
You're still
in command, sir.

the Major, sir.
