Original subtitles

July, 1863.

The civil war continues in Virginia but Mississippi is in the union's hands

and Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas have all been separated

from the rest of the confederation territory.

There is a group of confederate troops that, so far, have not been located

by the enemy, and they are now attempting to flee into Mexico.

Everybody, out of the stage!

Don't take any risks, Miss Nelly. I am Major Forsythe.

You will have to stay in Wichita Pass

and work in the saloon until you hear from us. Did you understand?

Don't worry, everything will be OK.

You will pay dearly for this.

Do you know him?

No.

I think you do. He is Major Forsythe.

Take your things with you and consider yourself under arrest, Miss.

I want to find out who you are.

Those damn Confederates are everywhere

and nobody knows where they are hiding.

Can we please keep going?

It's late and we are doing nothing here. Everybody has died.

Nice seeing you, gentlemen.

I won't hide that I was starting to be a bit worried in view of your delay.

Did you have any problems?

Yes, General. I had to hide with my platoon to avoid being located by Union troops.

And you, Major?

Bringing the cannons with us slowed us down. It was hard work.

Well, I hope you brought them all.

I feel a bit nervous without the cannons,

probably because I've always been in Artillery.

Well, we are all here with our weapons, our wagons and our scarce supplies.

This is our position.

We are located between two Union military detachments, which control this valley.

The 5th Cavalry Regiment in Fort Worth, and the 7th in Wichita Pass.

We are out of their sight in this forest, but the area is controlled by Union troops.

What's left of our Army is fighting in Virginia with General Lee.

Unfortunately, we are unable to join him.

Maybe a different Army would have surrendered by now, but not us.

Had we ever considered that possibility, the Union troops would have won the war

in one month, as they outnumber us.

However, if our moral remains high, I know they will lose in the end.

OK, gentlemen, as I was telling you we just have to...

cross the Mexican border and make an alliance with the Emperor

to keep fighting this war. - That's it, General.

General, Maximilian could have helped General Lee, but he didn't.

Things have changed. Europe is far away, and Juarez is managing to isolate him.

We are his only friends in America.

Unfortunately, this is the only way to reach Mexico...

between Wichita Pass and Fort Worth.

The Union troops stationed in that area

are no more and no less than the 5th and 7th Cavalry Regiments.

Due to their locations, it is almost impossible to cross

without suffering major casualties.

I think that we could pass if we attack them by surprise with artillery support.

That's only one possibility, Quantrill.

One thing is for sure: The moment they spot us,

all the Northern troops stationed in Texas will be after us. That would be our end.

I intend to reach Mexico with an army instead of with a military hospital.

This is the first requirement to deal with Maximilian.

Then I don't understand, General. You brought us to this place.

And I will take all of you to Mexico!

But I will do that without having one single casualty.

You may have noticed that there is an Apache tribe stationed nearby Fort Worth.

If they are skillfully guided,

we won't have to fight the 5th and 7th Cavalry Regiments.

They would destroy the enemy's stations.

Once the Indians have massacred the Union troops,

we could quickly slide into Mexico without any interference.

The first attack will be here, in the village by the fort.

That area is protected by the 5th Cavalry Regiment.

And who will guide the Apaches?

- It will be Colonel Bonnet. - An excellent choice, General.

I think so, too.

Once you attack the village, the 5th Regiment will have to leave the fort.

True. This way, they will fall in our trap.

We will destroy the 5th Regiment and we'll make sure the news reaches Wichita Pass.

Then, the 7th will have to come here to secure the fort.

We will also destroy them. This is Wild Horse's promise.

The Emperor of Mexico will reward you for that.

This land will be yours forever

and your dream of being the Chief of all the Apache tribes will become true.

Yes, they will declare me Grand Chief.

Come with me.

This is the best rifle that was ever made

and each of your warriors will have one.

Here...

No Apache Chief has ever had a rifle like this one.

Squadron... Forwaaard, march!

All is taking place they way you forecasted.

Today, I will win a big victory.

Just remember you must surround them so that nobody can escape.

Don't worry. Wild Horse wants peace, but peace after victory.

All this land you can see will be mine

and I swear that white men will die if they trespass.

Gentlemen, get the troops ready. We will attack the fort.

Did you tell headquarters?

Yes...

No!

Come in.

General, the Indians have attacked Fort Worth.

The telegraph operator managed to send this message.

They are requesting reinforcements.

That's strange. Something very serious must have happened.

We should send the 7th Cavalry Regiment.

But then Wichita Pass will be unprotected! - There is no other way.

Those damned Indians sign peace treaties and then they break them.

But we'll teach them a lesson!

Tell Col Maxwell and Maior Shane to report immediately.

And give the pertinent orders for the 7th to be ready for departure.

Yes, General.

I must speak to Col. Maxwell.

Come in.

The General wants to see you.

Is there any news?

The 7th will be departing on a mission, Colonel. To Fort Worth.

Very good.

I'm sorry, Sir, but nobody told me you were coming.

Not even jail can make you lose your sense of humour. You haven't changed.

I do what I can.

Hurry up, get your belongings and leave. You are free and discharged from the Army.

Finally, I'll be a civilian once again.

That won't happen until 4 PM, which is when your commitment ends.

Don't worry, time will fly. A card's game, two dolls by my side

and it will be 4 PM before I realize. - You will never change.

Won't you regret leaving the rank of Captain and the military?

Well, you come from a family with military tradition, so you won't understand.

I became an officer because my father, the Senator,

wanted one of his sons to join the Military.

Sugar, you must leave the walls the way you found them.

But Sam, that's all the companionship I was allowed.

They can stay here for the next guy.

Ok...

Goodbye, my dear dolls.

I will find some better ones, but they won't be as beautiful,

as sweet or as quiet as you were.

There is nothing more important for you than women, huh?

Of course, that's the best thing for anyone who feels lonely.

Things are different for you. You have ideals, but I left mine to my father.

But sometimes I wonder if he ever had any ideals himself.

And to have fun, the best thing you could do

was facing a court martial for insubordination.

You see, that was an excellent opportunity.

A demotion from Captain to Sergeant, one month in prison,

and at 4 PM I will be free to go wherever I want, with anyone I want,

without having to think which foot has to move first.

You have forgotten a doll.

No, please. That would be a crime.

Unfortunately it has to be, it doesn't help anything.

No, I can't wipe her away.

Not even the cruelest hangman would have the courage to do that.

Major Shane, the General wants to see you immediately.

Thank you.

See? He is the right type for the Army.

He is an excellent officer.

Yes, but he is also a bore. An officer...

We'll talk again before you leave. See you later.

I'll wait for you playing cards. And if I happen to find two good...

specimens, I'll save one for you.

Have you forgotten that the military are not allowed in taverns?

Can't talk to you, you are all virtues. You will end in History, like George Washington.

So you don't like my paintings. You find them repulsive, don't you?

So if one night you were to meet one of those beauties

your military duty would be first, huh? - People like you should be...

Hey, show some respect. Wait a minute.

Let us forget about ranks.

I'm going to miss you a lot.

Most likely, it was Wild Horse the one who carried the attacked.

He is the most ambitious of all the Apache chiefs.

Most likely, he has a large number of warriors.

So far, the proximity of the fort dissuaded him from starting a war.

Shane, I'm afraid this is going to complicate matters.

Col. Maxwell, you will depart immediately with the 7th.

You will take with you Major Shane and Lieutenant Webb.

Down here, we just need a few men. There are no Indians, and war is far away.

Gentlemen, I have nothing more to add. Good luck.

Maior Shane... the rest of you are dismissed, thank you.

What about former Captain Patterson?

I didn't hold you here to ask you that question.

I wanted to tell you that... you know I fully trust you.

Thank you, General.

I hope to see you back soon.

Hey, give me a bottle. Of the best one.

Excuse me, Sergeant, but the Military are not allowed in here.

Sorry to contradict you, my good man. My clothes must have confused you.

What do you mean? - It's the latest fashion,

from Boston's best tailor. Dalton Brayn. Do you know him?

But I will get changed just to please you. I have been discharged.

Well, this doesn't look like a uniform, does it?

Is it OK now?

That's fine.

Hey, I'm looking for someone who knows how to play.

He must be a good player, otherwise I become bored to death.

I am ready, but first let's see your money.

Is that enough?

Hey Sergeant, did you clean the fort's safe prior to leaving?

That's my pay. You should have seen what I was making when I was a Captain.

If you keep going at this pace, how high are you going to make it?

Maybe I will become a governor, or a senator.

Being as cheeky as you are, I have no doubt you will make it.

You are very observant, and I like you. You are my type, don't go too far.

If I win, I will buy you... just a minute...

Here is a cash advance for your piggy bank.

I do this whenever I play cards. It brings me luck.

Nelly, if you don't go close to the gamblers, the boss will be angry at you.

I'd rather see him angry than having to put up with the dirty jokes from those drunks.

As you wish.

Hey, if you have a sister or a girlfriend as pretty as you are,

they are invited to join us.

You know? Your system to attract luck seems to be working.

Hey, beautiful, come here!

- C'mon, play. - Just a moment.

My friend, you wouldn't hit a lady, will you?

I knew that Union officers are real gentlemen.

You've realized I'm not like him, haven't you?

Wasn't enough for you to take all my money?

And don't you ever come back, or it will be worse next time!

It seems that Sgt. Patterson is finally enjoying himself.

Have you forgotten that attacking a serviceman carries a severe punishment?

I'm sorry, Maior, but he told me he was no longer a serviceman.

You liar. Didn't you see my uniform?

Don't you ever do that again.

You come with us, Sergeant. Come on, let's go.

You did right, Sam. I am still in the Army.

Precisely. Therefore, mount and join us.

Sure. Where are we going?

To Fort Worth. It has been attacked by the Indians.

I'm glad to see that your sense of humour has improved,

but remember that I will be discharged in 3 hours.

Right. In 3 hours you will be free to leave, but now you have to come with us.

Our orders are that the whole Regiment must go.

I can laugh if you wish, but I don't find this funny.

Let's not waste time. This is an urgent mission.

Sergeant, I wanted to thank you... for defending me in the saloon.

It was my duty, miss. And between you and I, it was the right moment to leave the game.

Good luck, Major. - Thank you.

Miss?

You have lost your military scarf, Sergeant. You will be punished for that.

With pleasure, Lieutenant. I will gladly spend my last hour of service in jail.

Stop saying nonsense. Let's go.

This watch is a pain. It has stopped.

All in order, Sir.

Very well, Lieutenant. Could you tell me what time is it?

It is exactly 03:40 PM.

I told you.

The young Lieutenant is as charming as usual.

He would be a great officer if he was a bit more... human.

If he wasn't so attached to the rules, Sam. But that would be too much for him.

Say what you want, but he is a good officer anyway.

It may be so, but he is driving me nuts.

While I was Captain, I observed him for months. He is never wrong.

This is unreal, it is not human.

And now, he is taking revenge.

He can't any longer. The sun is telling me that I already am a civilian.

Goodbye

and I would like to ask you something: Give those Indians a good beating.

Why don't you stay with us? You would be very helpful.

You are a bit crazy, but you are an excellent shooter.

My gun is going to become moldy from now on.

One more thing, Sam. No doubt that my father will mention

my last operation during his next electoral campaign, so you better win.

Now, I'm going to say goodbye to the old man.

My time in the Army is over, Colonel.

With your permission, I would like to leave the Regiment.

Goodbye, Mr. Patterson. And good luck.

Thank you. I wish you the same.

My time is over, Lieutenant.

Goodbye, former Sergeant Patterson.

What's going on with you? Have you forgotten something?

No. I just thought it wasn't right to leave all of you alone.

You are better than you think.

I believe this is my duty. Let's leave it that way.

On the contrary, that is a nice gesture on your side.

Sam, please forget about it.

Major, two Apaches are following us.

I tried to stay away from the rest of you, but they came behind me.

Don't know if Sgt. Patterson did inform you. I suppose they have also followed him.

Thank you, Lieutenant. But there is no need to inform the Colonel.

Just keep an eye on them. - Yes, Major.

Did you see? Our Lieutenant is always vigilant.

But this time, he finally made a mistake.

These Apaches do not belong to Wild Horse's tribe. They have saddles on their horses.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

And I seldom make mistakes regarding matters like this one.

Strange... that's very strange.

The whole 7th Cavalry Regiment is coming. Your forecast was accurate, Colonel.

So accurate that I had the message ready.

We'll report the good news to our friends.

They are becoming impatient to cross the valley.

The plan should succeed.

It MUST succeed. We have to take into consideration any possible sources of error.

Including anything that we haven't forecasted.

The risk of being discovered by the enemy increases every day.

Colonel, I should carry an inspection before the soldiers enter the fort.

Very well, Major.

You two, come with me.

Keep going.

Let the Colonel know that all is clear.

Hey, you, go tell the Colonel!

Too clear, I would say.

Those Indians were very meticulous.

Yes... very strange Indians, indeed.

The 7th Cavalry Regiment has left Wichita Pass and it's galloping towards Fort Worth.

They fell in Col. Bonnet's trap.

With your permission, I will inform the soldiers.

Some are becoming a bit disheartened.

The plan must still remain secret.

Don't worry about the men, they are all veterans and I fully trust them.

Even the most courageous may become used not to fight.

Let us demolish the last obstacle.

Soldiers' morale is not lifted by fighting useless battles.

That may be so, but I would prefer that this victory would be obtained

by our soldiers, rather than by a group of savages.

Come in.

We just came from the village. Nobody has been left alive.

The 5th Regiment must have been ambushed, Colonel.

Will these killings ever end?

After a few...

After spending a few months as Military Staff, people become weak as damsels.

It has been a hard trek, Sir.

We will attack the Apaches at dawn. Give the orders, Major.

With your permission, I suggest we should first study the situation.

It seems strange to me that the Indians dared to attack us.

It won't be the first time. It could have been an Indian chief

longing the times when they owned this area.

The nature of the attacks reveals a very unusual strategy.

Gentlemen, you will notice soon that those unusual circumstances

are not as unusual as they seem.

Follow the order, Major.

Do you think this was done by Wild Horse's Apaches?

I have no doubts, even if I didn't know that the Colonel is also sure.

And he knows the Indians better than anyone else.

They never respect any treaties.

Attention! The Major!

You artists are always surrounded by beautiful women, huh?

You are a good sketcher, but that's all.

Sugar, I must talk to you.

I hope it's about women. Because if it is about military stuff,

then I am not interested. I am a civilian, don't you realize that?

Then take off your uniform and ride back to town in long johns.

I'll ride back to town tomorrow morning, Sam,

but it won't be wearing just long johns. I still keep my sense of decency.

Come on, shoot.

It's about surveying the Indian village. Tonight.

Hey, I managed to save my life while in the military, and you expect me

to get killed as a civilian? You should have your head examined.

You are right. I'll take Lieutenant Webb with me.

He is the perfect guy for the job.

He is a good, courageous officer.

Yes, and he gets paid to risk his skin.

That settles the matter.

Are you going to sketch blondes or brunettes?

These ones will be redheaded.

I would like to see you sneaking into the Indian village at night,

together with that discipline-obsessed officer.

Sure, but he does it to get a promotion.

You know? As long as I am here, he won't get any promotions if I can prevent it.

If I can't stand him as a Lieutenant, imagine if he ever became a Captain.

Come, let's go.

You stay here and cover me.

So, if you are in danger, call me imitating an owl's sound.

Hey, Sam, what if you are the one who is in danger?

Then I will sing like a swan.

This time you almost made me laugh.

Remove that white hat from your head. Let's go.

Eeeeeh...

Who is this?

My fiancé.

But I don't mind.

Yes, I've noticed that.

Are you soldier?

Yes... eh... no, no, no.

A prospector?

- Yes, that's it. - Looking for gold?

Gold, women, anything.

Now you are my fiancé.

Yes, of course, now you need a new one.

What is your name?

Archibald Timothy Patterson, but my friends call me Sugar.

My name is Amanda.

OK, wait here and don't move.

But...

Did you find what you were looking for, Sam?

All went well. And you?

Same here, I only found two Indians. One of them has a broken skull.

Good job, my friend. You could become a good serviceman.

What happened to the other Indian?

Thank you, Sam. Did you know I like this type of missions? When will be the next one?

You haven't answered my question. What about the other Indian?

One more thing, Sugar. I don't want to see you close to the village, OK?

Sure.

And you couldn't stop him?

It was two of them. One had a gun and the other had a hammer.

They must suspect something to come all the way here.

That could put our mission in jeopardy.

You must act with the wisdom and strength of a Grand Chief.

Wild Horse's tribe has nothing to do with the attack.

There are no scalps in their tents, and they only have old style rifles.

The attack must have been carried by Indians from far away tribes,

and the attackers must have already left this area.

This will make our job easier.

With the current situation, we could get horse whisperers to come to Fort Worth.

The Army always needs horses, and many herds have been seen in this area.

We must not waste any time.

This is not the time to request horse whisperers.

The situation is still unclear.

But Colonel...

I will decide when we will call them in.

Tonight you have given once again proof of your courage, Patterson.

If you were a serviceman, I would propose you for a medal.

Well, I wouldn't object to a gold medal.

A group of Indians is coming.

They carry a white flag.

Chief of the white men!

Listen, chief of the white men.

Wild Horse is a loyal friend of the white men.

Wild Horse brings chiefs of tribes who killed your brothers.

And will carry justice in front of you.

This is my justice.

You were right, Maior. Hadn't I followed your advice,

I would have attacked Wild Horse, and I would have been wrong.

Now, we can call in the horse whisperers.

We will send a message to Headquarters, Colonel.

Unfortunately, the telegraph doesn't work.

With the Colonel's permission, I will deliver the message.

Sure, why not, Mr. Patterson?

This will be your last mission in the Army. Thank you very much for volunteering.

You are welcome. If civilians didn't cooperate with the Military,

then how could my father enjoy his comfortable chair in Washington?

Lieutenant, make arrangements to bury those dead Indians.

Well, Doctor. What about your theory regarding the Indians' loyalty?

I haven't changed my mind. However, we are at war,

and all theories lose validity in the presence of death.

Yes, you are right.

In the presence of death.

Don't forget it, Sugar. You must hand deliver the message to General Sherman.

Don't worry, Sam.

This time I think we will take longer to see each other again.

Why? If things have calmed down, you could all go back.

- Sugar... - Yes?

Good luck.

Same to you, Sam. Have fun.

I left for you a couple of girls in my room,

so that you remember that there are more things in life than the Military.

See how loyal are those Indians? They don't mess around with their traitors.

Yes. But sometimes they don't mess around with their allies, either.

Here they are.

And no saddles.

What could they want from me?

I could tell them that my fiancée is an Indian, but...

I better tell them we are getting married.

It seems that they want to play.

Well, if they want to play... then let's play.

Umka!

Umka...

They've killed him!

My brother was a friend of the white men.

Wild Horse is a murderer!

What's going on?

Wild Horse is a murderer!

- What does this woman want? - She says this Indian was her brother.

Get her out of here! She belongs to a race of traitors!

Do you know Sugar?

Sugar? He is in Wichita Pass.

In Wichita Pass? How can I find him?

Wait by the tavern's door! He will go there sooner or later.

Look in the saddle.

Here it is, Colonel.

Very well

as I thought it would happen.

Put it back where you found it.

And now, the best thing we can do is to facilitate his escape. OK?

Yes, sure.

After spending so much time with the Indians, I can throw a knife better than they do.

And why would he want to kill him?

I think he must have been the one who stole his fiancée.

The last thing we need is a lover's dispute.

A lovers' dispute will make our mission more difficult.

I have an urgent message for the General!

Sugar...

Sugar!

Sugar!

Major Shane says your assistance has been invaluable, Patterson.

With a bit of good will, you could recover the Captain's rank.

General, it took to me 3 years to go from Captain to Sergeant.

And it took a lot of effort. Do you expect me to start all over again?

I am already a civilian... Well, I won't take any more of your time.

The message is coded. Please call Lieutenant Brown, and also the Wagon Master.

Sugar! Sugar...

Hey, where do you come from?

Now you are my fiancé... and my brother.

I am your fiancé, but not your brother. If we are siblings, then it will be all over.

No, I will be always with you.

Wild Horse took my brother to soldiers, then he killed him.

Your brother deserved to die!

He killed the settlers!

This is not true! White man ordered White Horse to kill settlers.

Which white man?

A man named Colonel, who orders all of you to be killed.

What are you talking about, Amanda? - It's the truth.

Great white man is very important.

He gives orders to White Horse warriors, and also to warriors from other tribes.

I must warn the General immediately.

Where are you going? I don't want to be alone.

I don't like that, either. But this is a very serious matter.

Try to understand. As a serviceman, I have a duty to fulfill.

You are very pretty, and it saddens me to leave you now.

We'll see each other soon.

Have you seen great white man?

Yes, many times. - Where?

On the hills by Fort Worth.

Are you going to go to him?

No. I want to go to Fort Worth to be with my fiancé.

You may come in my wagon.

A wagon train is about to leave on that direction.

Do you want to come? - Yes, I go.

Let's go.

Halt, civilian! Where are you going?

Stop here!

I must speak to the General. It's urgent.

The General does not give audiences to civilians.

I am his friend. Get out of the way.

My orders are not to let anyone in! Get out!

I am telling you for last time... oh, I'm wasting my time!

Guys, don't be stupid. Tell me where the General is.

The General has left.

Who do you have there?

I know that guy. Lock him up!

Shut up, you idiot.

Go on, lock him up.

Let go of me! Let me go!

You come with us now.

I have an important message, you will regret this!

Didn't I tell you that you couldn't join us?

I must arrive to Fort's village. I have a contract to fulfill.

My orders are to drive a maximum of 20 wagons.

If you want, you can go on your own, but not with my wagon train.

And if you are attacked by the Indians, you will be on your own.

Wagons, Ho!

If they find out I have an Indian girlfriend, I will have nothing to worry about.

Giddyup!

Hey, Corporal, you gotta help me, buddy.

Listen, I really need to get out of here. It's very important.

You must...

Look here, Corporal.

If this cute doll here was nice to you, would you let me out?

She has grown well and she is really generous.

Well, how do you like her?

Sugar! Did you come to see your Amanda?

How dare you to travel alone?

They did not let us to join the wagon train, so...

Luckily, the trip is almost over. You have been in great danger

Didn't you ever think you could have had a bad encounter?

We go to Worth.

Why don't you escort us to the fort? Afterwards, we could continue on our own.

Tie your horse to the wagon and join us.

Very well.

Tell me, is he a civilian or a serviceman?

A bit of each. Me not fully understand yet.

May I?

Yes.

Don't worry, I am quite slim.

Giddyup.

What will you do once you arrive to the village, Miss?

I am a singer and I hope to find fortune.

I have been told that there is an abundance of wealth in that area.

I only have noticed an abundance of bullets and arrows.

If you have to work in places like that, I don't envy you.

And what is your profession?

- I... - He my fiancé.

Yes, that's right. My profession is fiancé.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

All women have the same obsession.

They just think of trying to look beautiful.

Does she also carry a bathtub in the wagon?

Or is she changing her dress?

Woah!

Miss?

Well, that is a surprise.

Sugar...

So you are a singer, huh? Now you will "sing" for me.

Leave me alone!

Mind your own business.

This is also my business.

And even if I have to become again a Captain, I want to find out everything.

Amanda, we'll see each other at the fort.

Don't try anything stupid... You, keep an eye on her.

Sam, the settlers are heading towards a lethal trap.

Wild Horse will slaughter them, same as he did before.

I just found that a white man is leading them.

You came back to tell me that?

Don't you think it's something important?

We already knew that.

And I am so stupid that came all the way, under the scorching sun, to let you know!

Damn! Couldn't you have told me before I left?

I could not reveal military secrets to you.

Secrets?

Remember that you are just a civilian.

There is more. That girl, Nelly, she is a spy for the Indians.

You also knew that, I suppose. - How could you suggest such a thing?

The moment she saw the fort, she stole my horse

and tried to run towards the Indian village.

Where were you trying to go?

Nowhere. I was just going for a ride.

Sure, just going for a ride... So she is calling me a liar.

I beg you, Major Shane. Please let me go to the village.

You will go another day, Miss.

Now, come with me.

Is she always going with you?

Why do you care?

I do care because, if there is a spy around here, that's probably her.

Come with me.

Here I am, Sugar.

Listen. Did you know that you are a spy?

Yes. If that means that I love you, then I am one.

Yes, that's what it means.

What are you doing, Sugar?

Enough of the Army! I'm tired of wearing even the buttons of this uniform.

Are you going to make a public performance?

Let's go.

What's the matter, Maior? Is the questioning still going on?

Of course. It will be over when you tell us the real reason why you came to our village.

Sure, I will repeat it. I am a singer and I have been offered a lucrative contract.

If you are a singer, why don't you prove it by performing for my soldiers?

Because I don't intend to remain here.

I'm sorry, but you will remain here for as long as I deem it necessary.

I know officers who are far more courteous with ladies than you are.

I believe it. And it's not difficult to guess to which army they belong.

You will sleep here with your Indian friend.

Does this mean that you are in love with me?

Hey...

What are you doing this way?

As you seem, I am watching the girl.

Put your pants on!

No way, Major. With your permission, I refuse.

Did you already forget that I am a civilian?

You must leave the premises. This room is for officers.

As former Captain, I think I can stay.

There is no other room where the ladies can sleep.

I'm sure you will gladly let them have this one.

You see, I didn't expect...

C'mon, don't be rude with the ladies.

I suggest you keep a close eye on that one, or she will escape. I could do it...

OK then.

You will watch them, but from outside.

Hey, at least let me get my belongings.

- Do you know how to play guitar? - A little bit.

- Would you like to help me? - Yes.

Come here. It is not difficult.

You only have to hold your fingers correctly.

So, watch this.

Now try it.

There are many women.

Yes. Unfortunately, they don't know what's awaiting them.

Everything is ready in the village as you ordered, Sir.

But personally, I think we have gone a bit overboard.

I'm talking about the women's issue.

That's fine.

Keep playing.

Take these horses to drink.

Why do you want to leave? Don't you enjoy our presence?

I beg you, Maior. Let me keep going my way.

You must believe me. I am no threat to you or to your soldiers.

We are in an alert state, Miss. I am doing my job as a serviceman.

What are you going to do with a poor girl like me?

You are a gentleman, and your duty is to help me.

Listen, Miss, I really would like to help you.

But before that, you must cooperate.

Why won't you tell me the truth?

But I'm telling you the truth. I'm begging you, please trust me.

I am no heroine, I'm just a woman.

Where are you coming from? Who are you?

Please, don't ask me anymore!

Then, don't you ask me again to set you free.

Excuse me, please. I am exhausted. I no longer realize what I am doing.

I am of a different opinion.

Please return to your room, Miss.

Hey, is that how you wake up people?

Where are the prisoners?

They are still in...

Where does she come from?

Ah...

Hello.

She is smarter than I thought. Nice way of escaping.

I'll keep that in mind.

Come here and listen.

We'll do it like last time, the warriors split into two groups.

The first one, commanded by Wild Horse, will attack the village.

You, lieutenant, will go with this group.

You will attack at dawn, but before that a group of warriors

will have sneaked silently into the village.

Then I, with the second group,

will wait until the regiment leaves the fort, then will attack them from the rear.

Lieutenant Davis, you will come with me.

Any objections?

No, no objections.

This plan worked very well last time

and all indications are that this time will also work, Colonel.

OK then.

Ok.

Excuse me, Major, but I am going to leave you.

I have an appointment I cannot miss.

Please, Colonel, don't make any efforts.

Let me go on, please.

Have you ever witness an Indian Chief's death?

Shortly before the, let's say, trip... all dancing stops suddenly

and there is a big silence.

Just like now.

Those kind of thoughts will go away once you have some rest.

Try to understand what I am trying to tell you.

Be prepared to take over command, Major.

What is the current situation?

The new settlers are in the village, and soon they will start working.

All is going well, Sir.

You are the best assistant I've ever had. A perfect officer.

For you, things are always OK.

Our duty is quite strange.

We all make war, but none of us enjoys it.

And since we have no choice but fighting, we have to make it as humane as possible.

I think...

Tell me, Major, I'm listening.

I think...

Present... arms!

Major, the village is being attacked!

Don't move. Present arms!

Nobody moves!

Major! They are going to kill all of them!

Stay where you are! I know what to do!

Attention, squadron! Order arms!

The Lord, your God, will set you free from slavery.

He will have mercy of you

and he will take you back from where you were expelled.

Damned Indians!

Careful!

Why are they not leaving the fort?

The Lord has blessed me.

He saved my soul from Death and freed my eyes from tears.

Amen.

7th Cavalry Regiment... on your horses!

You two, go inside.

You will stay here to protect the girls.

Nobody does anything without me saying so!

Listen to my orders!

Squadron... Forwaaard, march!

Let's go.

One day I will show you what I can do.

Yeah.

Hey, Lieutenant. Look a this, Webb. More Indians are coming.

Yeah.

Is that all you can say? 'Yeah'?

The 7th is in danger. We must warn them.

They can't see anything from where they are. Here...

This is not a civilian's concern.

Don't you understand that those Indians will attack them by the rear? I will warn them.

Stop! You won't go anywhere!

If you move from here I will fill your body with lead. You've heard the Major's orders!

OK, Lieutenant.

Sam! Sam! The Indians!

There is another group of Indians trying to attack the Regiment by the rear! Sam!

Split into two groups!

Amanda, I must go immediately to the combat zone.

Perhaps this would be my last chance.

To do what?

To find the person I am looking for.

Could you help me?

Yes.

Surrender!

You traitor!

You have destroyed all my people!

They are all dead, damn you!

I would have preferred to die at your hands.

I'm sorry that we fought on opposite sides.

However, I wanted you alive. I wanted to know who you were.

When you return to Wichita Pass,

if you find a blond girl with an angel face named Nelly,

tell her...

that her father...

Colonel Bonnet, is...

The mission has failed.

Is that him?

But you knew him...

Since we both were little.

Give me the water.

Sugar!

Sugar!

This one had discovered our trick. He also disguised himself as a woman.

Amanda!

Amanda...

Come with me.

Sugar, I wanted to tell you many things.

You can tell me later. We have a whole life together ahead of us.

Let me tell you just one: I love you...

I love you.

I love you, too. I'm in love with you.

Let's go.

Miss Bonnet...

How do you know my name?

Your father told me.

Where is he?

Is he dead?

This was his.

Calm down. Like all others, this is a senseless war.

We have to live in this era, whether we like it or not.

Our children will never understand the reasons for all this destruction.

And maybe one day...

in the middle of so much suffering, something big and everlasting will be born...

and our sacrifices won't have been be in vain.

You...

Are you going to leave?

I haven't decided yet, but some times I think the General was right.

Maybe I should start again,

from Sergeant to Lieutenant, then to Captain, and then... who knows?
