All language subtitles for 1 - Heaven and Hell - (summer 1865 - autumn 1865)

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

THIS IS JOHN JAKES.

BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR,

NORTHERNER GEORGE HAZARD
AND SOUTHERNER ORRY MAIN

MET AS CADETS
AT WEST POINT.

THEY AND THEIR FAMILIES
BECAME LIFELONG FRIENDS,

BUT THEY MADE AN ENEMY

OF THE EVIL AND SADISTIC
ELKANAH BENT.

BENT ALSO CAME TO HATE
ORRY'S YOUNG COUSIN

CHARLES MAIN,
WHO SERVED UNDER HIM.

GEORGE MARRIED
CONSTANCE FLYNN

WHILE ORRY
FELL IN LOVE WITH

AND MARRIED
MADELINE FABRAY.

THE TWO FAMILIES
REMAINED CLOSE

UNTIL THE CIVIL WAR
DIVIDED THEM.

ON, HO!

FIRE!

GEORGE AND ORRY FOUGHT
ON OPPOSITE SIDES,

BOTH RISING TO THE RANK
OF GENERAL,

WHILE SECRETLY MAINTAINING
THEIR FRIENDSHIP.

MAYBE IT'S UP
TO US, ORRY,

TO START HEALING
THE WOUNDS

TO THIS NATION.

CHARLES MAIN
SERVED THE CONFEDERACY

AS A SCOUT BEHIND
ENEMY LINES.

ELKANAH BENT
SPENT THE WAR

SMUGGLING BLACK MARKET
FOOD AND ARMS

INTO THE SOUTH,
WHILE HAVING AN AFFAIR

WITH ORRY'S
CUNNING SISTER ASHTON.

SHE WAS JEALOUS
OF HER BROTHER

AND HATED HIS WIFE
MADELINE.

TOWARD THE WAR'S END,
ORRY AND CHARLES

DESTROYED ALL OF BENT
AND ASHTON'S EVIL PLANS,

AND BENT WAS KILLED.

NOW THE WAR IS OVER,
AND MONT ROYAL

HAS BEEN BURNED
TO THE GROUND BY RENEGADES.

ORRY AND MADELINE
HAVE LOST EVERYTHING

AND ARE STAYING
AT A WEALTHY FRIEND'S HOME

IN RICHMOND
WHILE TRYING TO FIND FOOD

FOR THE HUNGRY ALL ACROSS
THE DEFEATED SOUTH.

NOW ASHTON AND BENT,

ALIVE THROUGH
SOME BITTER QUIRK OF FATE,

COME TO SEEK ORRY OUT...

STOP RIGHT HERE.

EACH WITH A DIFFERENT PLAN
IN MIND.

WELL, LOOK AT
WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

MY GOOD OLD FRIEND
ORRY MAIN.

I'VE WAITED
A LONG TIME FOR THIS.

NOW, YOU BE CAREFUL.
REMEMBER THE PLAN, EL.

I COULDN'T POSSIBLY
BARGAIN MONEY OUT OF ORRY,

HIM BEING ANGRY
AT ME AND ALL,

BUT I'M JUST SURE
THAT YOU COULD DO

SUCH A NICE JOB OF IT.

DON'T YOU WORRY YOUR PRETTY
LITTLE FEET ABOUT THAT.

IT'S GOING TO BE BUSINESS,
PURE AND SIMPLE.

YOUR BROTHER WANTS
TO FEED THE SOUTH.

SEEING AS HOW OUR GREAT
YANKEE CONQUERORS

CAN'T AFFORD TO BE BOTHERED
WITH SUCH TRIVIALITIES,

I'M THE MAN
HE HAS TO DEAL WITH.

HE THINKS I HAVE
WHAT HE NEEDS.

I WILL PREVAIL.

NOW, I KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING TO BE,

AND I'M GOING
TO MEET YOU THERE.

HOWEVER, I'D LIKE
TO HAVE A FEW WORDS

WITH MADELINE FIRST,

SO NOW YOU GO ON AND
DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN.

THAT'S JUST WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO.

MOVE!

[CLOCK CHIMES]

ASHTON?

MISS ASHTON
TO YOU, JANE.

I'LL GET MADELINE.

UPPITY.
FAR TOO UPPITY.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I COULD SCARCELY BELIEVE IT
WHEN JANE TOLD ME.

WHY, YES, OF COURSE.

THOSE NEGROES DO TELL
STRANGE TALES,

DON'T THEY?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

LAYING CLAIM,
I BELIEVE THEY CALL IT.

MR. MAIN NEVER DID
SHOW ME PROPER RESPECT.

HE RUINED MY REPUTATION
WITH LIES AND SLANDER.

I'LL SEE HIM IN HELL
BEFORE I DEAL WITH HIM.

MR. BENT,
MISS ASHTON--

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

STOP.

RIGHT HERE.

WHOA! WHOA!

WHOA.

GET OUT OF HERE.

YES, SIR.

GET OUT!

ORRY MAIN!

UHH!

YOUR LIFE IS OVER, MAIN.

I PAID YOU BACK
FOR YOUR ARROGANCE.

NOW I'M GOING
TO TAKE CARE

OF YOUR GOOD FRIEND
GEORGE HAZARD

AND YOUR PRECIOUS COUSIN
CHARLIE MAIN.

CHARLIE EVER TELL YOU
WHAT HE DID TO ME

DOWN IN TEXAS WAY?

AND YOU...

YOU CRIPPLED ME,

JUST LIKE YOURSELF.

YOU THOUGHT YOU BURNED ME
ALL UP,

BUT YOU JUST GOT
A PIECE OF ME.

YOU WANT TO SEE
WHAT YOU DID TO ME?

HERE.

HERE!

I INTEND TO TAKE BACK

EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND
ORRY HAVEN TAKEN FROM ME.

OH, WE'VE DONE
NO SUCH--

YOUR HOME, THE LAND,
MONT ROYAL,

ALL OF IT--BACK.

ASHTON,
YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

I CAN'T?

BUT OF COURSE I CAN,

AND I WILL,

AND I WILL USE
YOUR LITTLE SECRET

AS THE KEY
TO IT ALL.

I AM GOING TO BRING YOU
AND MY BROTHER DOWN SO HARD,

YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
THAT THE GREAT HORNED GODS

OF HADES HAVE DESCENDED
UPON YOU.

ASHTON, PLEASE.

SO, MY DEAR MADELINE,

MY ADVICE TO YOU IS,

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE
WHILE YOU STILL HAVE IT.

OH, MY LORD.

DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE GOING TO ACT

THE GRIEVING SISTER NOW.

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
HAVE YOU DONE? YOU FOOL!

I'VE RIGHTED
A GRIEVOUS WRONG.

WELL, WHERE'S
THE MONEY?

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO JUST
BE ABOUT THE MONEY.

MONEY?

WHAT THE HELL
IS MONEY?

I NEVER INTENDED TO DO
BUSINESS WITH YOUR BROTHER,

AND HE NEVER WOULD'VE
DEALT WITH ME

WITH HIS ANTIQUATED
SENSE OF HONOR.

AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

WHAT ABOUT ME?

YOU? I DON'T NEED YOU
TO DO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I NEVER NEEDED YOU.

AAH!

OH, LORD.

GEORGE, YOU KNOW DWELLING
ON DARK MEMORIES

CREATES
A DARKENED HEART.

I GUESS ORRY'S DEATH

HAS BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES
TOO RECENT TO BURY.

I HAD TO SEARCH
FOR THIS.

OH, THAT OLD
HALF DOLLAR

THAT YOU AND ORRY SPLIT
SO MANY YEARS AGO.

WE EACH KEPT
A HALF

AND PLEDGED TO MEND IT
TOGETHER SOMEDAY,

AND NOW THAT DAY
WILL NEVER COME.

OH, DARLING, I KNOW
YOU MISS HIM TERRIBLY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
HE'S GONE.

MY GOD, CONSTANCE,
HE SURVIVED IT ALL--

THE WARS, THE WOUNDS,

ONLY TO HAVE SOME COWARD
KNIFE HIM DEAD.

WHERE'S THE SENSE
IN THAT?

POOR MADELINE AND THE BABY
MUST BE SUFFERING SO.

YES.

THINGS ARE SO GRIM
IN THE SOUTH RIGHT NOW,

AND SHE'S ALL ALONE NOW.

I KNOW.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT GOING THERE?

YES, I HAVE, BUT--

I'M SURE IT WOULD BE A GREAT
COMFORT TO HER, GEORGE.

AND PERHAPS IT WOULD
HELP EASE THE PAIN

THAT YOU'RE SUFFERING.

THE FOUNDRIES
AND THE IRONWORKS

DO WELL
UNDER MR. QUINLAN.

WE'RE MORE
THAN COMFORTABLE.

I DON'T KNOW, CONSTANCE.

GEORGE, I KNOW YOU.

I TRUST YOU
AND YOUR LOVE.

GO TO MONT ROYAL.

HELP EASE THE PAIN
AND SUFFERING THERE.

ORRY WOULD'VE DONE
THE SAME FOR YOU.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

ST. LOUIS.

NEXT STOP, 2 HOURS.

ST. LOUIS.

THE EXPRESS TO CHICAGO
IS NOW BOARDING...

PORTER,
SOME HELP, PLEASE?

MAY I BE
OF ASSISTANCE, MA'AM?

CHARLES MAIN.

GALLANT.

CAPTAIN? LIEUTENANT?

UH, PRIVATE.

NEW TO THE CAVALRY.

TRULY?

I DO NOT HAVE
A MIND FOR UNIFORMS,

BUT YOUR MANNER IS MOST
DECEPTIVELY GENTEEL.

WELL, I'M
A SOUTHERNER, MA'AM.

MANNERS COUNT
A GREAT DEAL DOWN THERE.

IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME...

YES.

YOU KNOW
TRUMP'S PLAYHOUSE?

YES.

TAKE THE LADY THERE.

YES, SIR.

IF YOU PLEASE.

YOU'RE AN ACTRESS?

I AM, INDEED.

YOU KNOW
THE THEATER?

NO. I'VE SEEN EDWIN BOOTH.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.

YOU WILL HEAR
OF WILLA PARKER,

AND PERHAPS COME
TO WATCH?

DRIVER.

[SHOUTS ORDER]

[BUGLE SOUNDS]

SQUAD, ON MY COMMAND,

YOU'LL MOUNT AND MOVE
INTO FORMATION.

SQUAD, PREPARE TO MOUNT.

SQUAD, MOUNT!

CORPORAL MAIN.

SQUAD, REST.

I, UH, SEE PROGRESS
WITH THE RECRUITS, CORPORAL.

NOT MUCH, BUT PROGRESS.

GIVE THESE HORSES
A REST

BEFORE THEY GET CONFUSED
AND GO WILD.

YES, SIR.
RIGHT AWAY.

Main.

SQUAD, DISMISSED!

MAJOR SHAGRUE. I KNOW
THAT CORPORAL, MAJOR.

HE WAS AT WEST POINT,
SIR.

AND GRADUATES OF THE POINT
WHO FOUGHT FOR THE SOUTH

SHOULD BE RIGHTFULLY EXCLUDED
FROM THE AMNESTY.

PERHAPS, CAPTAIN,

BUT HE'S IN MY UNIT NOW,

AND CORPORAL MAIN--

HIS NAME IS MAIN, SIR.
CHARLES MAIN.

HE WAS AN UNDERCLASSMAN
AT THE POINT,

AND I HAD TO PUT HIM
ON REPORT SEVERAL TIMES

FOR ACTIONS BORDERING
ON INSUBORDINATION.

AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED,

CORPORAL CHARLES MAIN

IS ONE OF THE BEST
DAMN HORSE TRAINERS

I'VE EVER SEEN,

INCLUDING ME,
AND I'M PRETTY GOOD.

YOU LEAVE HIM BE,
CAPTAIN.

DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

YES, SIR.

BE THE ATTORNEY
OF MY LOVE TO HER.

PLEAD WHAT I WILL BE,
NOT WHAT I HAVE BEEN--

NOT MY DESSERTS, BUT
WHAT I WILL DESERVE.

OH, DAMN!

SHALL I BE TEMPTED
OF THE DEVIL THUS?

AND IS THIS ELIZABETH
COME TO TORMENT RICHARD?

YES. I'M WILLA PARKER,
MR. TRUMP.

EDDIE BOOTH WROTE
TO YOU ON MY BEHALF.

BOOTH?
YES.

BOOTH?

OH, YES.
I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

HE THINKS HE'S GREAT,

BUT HE'S REALLY
QUITE SECOND-RATE.

HIS BROTHER WAS QUITE
A MARKSMAN, THOUGH,

PARTICULARLY
AT CLOSE RANGE.

I'VE NEVER HEARD
OF YOU, MY DEAR.

I'VE PLAYED PORTIA
AND BEATRICE--

CAN YOU DO
ARITHMETIC?

ARITHMETIC?

I DON'T NEED
AN ACTRESS.

I NEED SOMEONE
TO MANAGE THE BOOKS

BEFORE I GO BANKRUPT.

I ALSO NEED SOMEONE
TO KEEP ME SOBER

TILL AFTER
THE PERFORMANCES.

BUT I'M AN ACTRESS.

OF COURSE, AND I'M SOBER
AS A CHURCH WARDEN SOMETIMES.

MR. BOOTH TOLD ME
THAT IF I ARRIVED--

OH, BLAST MR. BOOTH.

HE SAYS YOU HAVE TALENT,

THAT YOU ARE BRIGHT
AND CLEVER.

THEN YOU CAN USE ME.

AS I SAID BEFORE,

I NEED A CARETAKER.

I'M THE STAR.

I'M THE PERSON PEOPLE
PAY MONEY TO SEE.

TAKE CARE OF ME,

AND I'LL TRY
TO FIT YOU

INTO SOME RATHER
MINOR ROLE IN TIME.

NO.

NO.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
CHILD?

I WILL KEEP
YOUR BOOKS FOR YOU.

I WILL TUCK YOU
INTO BED

WHEN YOU FALL
INTO YOUR CUPS,

BUT I WANT GOOD ROLES.

MY GOD, EVERYONE
THINKS THEY CAN ACT.

VERY WELL.

WE'LL GIVE YOU
A TRY.

OFF.

I AM NOT A SERVANT.

I WILL, HOWEVER, SEE YOU
ONE HOUR BEFORE CURTAIN...

SOBER.

BY GOD.

[CHUCKLING]

[LAUGHTER]

MADELINE.

MADELINE,
SOMEBODY'S COMING.

OH, LORD.

IT'S COOPER.

YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW.

WELCOME TO THE NEW
MONT ROYAL, COOPER.

THIS IS YOUR NEPHEW
ORRY.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

PASSING BY.

THOUGHT I'D PAY
MY RESPECTS.

AND SURVEY MY HOME.

I DO HOLD THE MORTGAGE,
YOU KNOW.

YOU LOOK THIRSTY.

COME AND HAVE
SOME WATER.

I'M RETURNING
FROM COLUMBIA.

I HAD TO SIGN
A DAMNABLE LOYALTY OATH

TO THE YANKEES.

TO THE VICTOR GOES
THE HONOR AND THE SPOILS.

A LOYALTY OATH.

HOW CAN I BE LOYAL

TO THE PEOPLE WHO DESTROYED
ALL THAT I LOVE?

BUT YOU SIGNED IT.

I DIDN'T HAVE
MUCH CHOICE,

BUT THEN, WE ALL
HAVE TO SURVIVE,

DON'T WE?

YOU'VE BEEN BUSY.

CLEVER.

WE'VE WORKED
THE GARDEN,

AND THE VEGETABLE
CROP

HAS BEEN VERY GOOD
TO US.

AND HOW DO YOU PLAN
TO PAY THE NIGRAS?

WITH SHARES
FROM THE HARVEST.

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

NOT IN THE LEAST.

IF MONT ROYAL
IS TO THRIVE AGAIN,

THEN THAT IS GOING
TO TAKE NEW THINKING.

FOR YOUR SAKE,

OR LITTLE ORRY'S SAKE,

I DO HOPE THIS WORKS,

BUT MARK IT WELL.

YOU MISS ONE PAYMENT
ON THAT MORTGAGE,

AND YOU'LL BE OUT
LOCK, STOCK, AND BARREL,

AND ON THE ROAD
WITH YOUR NEGROES.

ORRY WOULDN'T
HAVE WANTED THAT.

THAT'S WHY HE GAVE
YOU THE PAPER

REGARDING THE LAND.

ORRY IS GONE.

BELIEVE ME, I DO HOPE
YOU SUCCEED.

I WANT THAT FOR
THE SAKE OF THE FAMILY.

I DO HOPE
YOU UNDERSTAND

THE DEPTHS
OF MY SINCERITY, MADAM.

I NEVER MISDOUBTED IT.

GOOD DAY, MY DEAR,

AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

THAT MAN DON'T MUCH LIKE
THE CHANGE

THAT'S GOING ON
AROUND HERE.

CHANGE COMES HARDER
FOR SOME PEOPLE, JANE.

UH, ONE TICKET.
FRONT ROW CENTER, PLEASE.

HELLO...

PRIVATE.

IT'S CORPORAL.

EXCUSE ME.

UH-HUH.

ANYTHING ELSE?

DINNER WITH YOU
THIS EVENING

AFTER THE SHOW.

I'D LOVE TO.

[APPLAUSE]

HA HA HA!

MR. GETTYS.

WELL.

WELL, NOW,

THE ILLUSTRIOUS
MR. MAIN.

WELL,
I'VE COME APIECE.

I COULD USE A DRINK.

WELL, SIR, YOU MUST'VE
COME BY MONT ROYAL.

YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW
COULDN'T GIVE YOU A DRINK?

WATER'S ONE THING.

WELL...

WELL, SIR,
DO STEP RIGHT IN.

HUH?

YOU KNOW, THERE'S
SOME FANCY DOIN'S

UP AT MONT ROYAL.

NOTHING FANCY ABOUT
A FEW FIELDS OF CROPS.

NAW, I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE SCHOOL.

THE NIGRA SCHOOL.

MADELINE MAIN'S
BEEN BORROWING

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

FOR LUMBER
AND HARDWARE.

YEAH.

SHE GONNA EDUCATE
HER COLORED FOLK

SO THEY CAN BE AS
GOOD AS YOU AND ME.

AIN'T THAT SOMETHING?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

OH, BUT I AM.

THERE'S WORD OF IT
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

THIS IS NICE,
ISN'T IT? YEAH.

NO,
THOSE CREATURES...

THEY HAVE GRAND
IDEAS, POOR THINGS.

IT WAS THE YANKEES.

THE YANKEES
MADE THEM BELIEVE

THAT THEY COULD
BE GOOD AS

OR BETTER THAN US,

BUT THEN YOU AND ME,

WE--WE KNOW THAT
NEVER CAN BE.

OF COURSE,
MISS MADELINE MAIN

WOULD HAVE OTHER THOUGHTS
ON THE MATTER.

[COUGHING]

YOU EVER--YOU EVER
HEARD OF A WORD KUKLOS?

IT'S A GREEK WORD.
IT MEANS "CIRCLE."

I HEARD OF THE KLAN.

YEAH. WELL,
WE HAVE OURSELVES

A BRANCH RIGHT HERE.

YOU KNOW, YOU OUGHT TO
COME AROUND ONCE IN A WHILE.

WE COULD USE
A MAN OF BREEDING

LIKE YOURSELF.

NOT INTERESTED.

WELL, YOU MIGHT BE...

AND RIGHT SOON,
MR. COOPER MAIN.

THE WAR MAY BE LOST,

BUT THE CAUSE AIN'T.

I MUST WARN YOU,
MRS. MAIN--

I WAS AN ABOLITIONIST
BEFORE THE WAR.

DOES THAT
DISTURB YOU?

BEFORE THE WAR?

IT MIGHT HAVE.

IT WOULDN'T DISTURB JANE
IN THE LEAST,

THEN OR NOW.

WOULD IT, JANE?

NO.

NEVER WOULD.

NOW, DON'T GO THINKING
MADELINE MAIN

IS WRONG-MINDED, EITHER.

DURING THE WAR,
SHE SPENT HERSELF

FEEDING, CLOTHING, AND
SHELTERING HUNDREDS OF US.

WORKED HERSELF
TO THE BONE.

THE MEN WHO ARE
BUILDING IT...

THEY WERE ONCE SLAVES
AT MONT ROYAL,

BUT NOW...

NOW THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
PARCELS OF LAND,

AND THEY WILL
SHARE THE CROPS.

ISAAC KANO
SUPERVISES.

A FINE MAN.

YOU'LL BE SEEING
HIM FREQUENTLY

IF JANE HAS ANYTHING
TO SAY ABOUT IT.

I SHALL REQUIRE A PLATFORM

AND I WANT WINDOWS

AGREED?

AGREED.

OH, THEN
YOU ACCEPT?

WITH ENTHUSIASM.

OH!

YOU SENT FOR ME,

YES, ISAAC, I DID.

TRY THIS ON.

OH, NO--

PLEASE.

THIS BELONGED TO
MY LATE HUSBAND, ISAAC,

AND NOW I WANT
YOU TO HAVE IT.

OH, NO, MA'AM. I--

NO, PLEASE.

YOU CAN WEAR IT
ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.

YOU'RE STILL
PLANNING ON

HAVING A WEDDING,
AREN'T YOU?

WE'RE NOT HOPPING OVER
SOME BROOMSTICK

LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS.

OH, YES, MA'AM.

WE'RE HAVING US
ONE FINE WEDDING,

WITH A REAL PREACHER
AND EVERYTHING.

AND, UH...

WE WANT YOU TO BE
THERE WITH US, MA'AM.

ISAAC, WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME

THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE.

YES'M.

UH...

MADELINE...

YOU MAKE ME
FEEL SO FINE

AND--
AND PROUD...

MADELINE.

WE CAN'T THANK YOU...

NEARLY ENOUGH.

OHH...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

YOU ALREADY HAVE.

[CHURCH BELL RINGS]

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

MRS. MAIN.

YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME
IN THIS CHRISTIAN

HOUSE OF WORSHIP.

NOT ANYMORE.

I BEG YOUR PARDON,
REVEREND?

WELL...

COLOREDS CAN'T WORSHIP
IN GOD'S HOUSE NO MORE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU...
MRS. DARK.

EXCUSE ME?

YOU SEE, I SEEN

THE DAGUERREOTYPE PHOTOGRAPH
OF YOUR GRANDMA,

AND, UH, IT MAY BE
LONG GONE, BUT...

I SEEN IT.

SO HAVE THE OTHERS.

COOPER MAIN
KNOWS IT, TOO,

AIN'T THAT RIGHT,
COOPER?

SHUT YOUR MOUTH,
GETTYS.

SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH.

BOY, DON'T YOU GO
DAMNING ME ON SUNDAY.

NOW, IT IS A FACT

THAT MRS. MAIN
IS 1/8 NIGRA,

SO NOW GO ON, MRS. DARK.

GET ON OUT OF HERE NOW.

I WILL RETURN FOR YOU

AFTER THE SERVICE
IS OVER, PRUDENCE.

NO, YOU WON'T.

THERE IS NO
CHRISTIAN GOD

BLESSING THIS HOUSE
OF ABOMINATION!

Cooper:
YOU ARE FILTH, GETTYS.

YOU SHAME ME.

BOY...

YOU BETTER GET
A GRIP ON YOURSELF,

BECAUSE THERE AIN'T
NO PLACE FOR HONOR

IN A WORLD GONE MAD
WITH DEFEAT.

THERE IS ONLY DEATH
AND DESTRUCTION

AND THE HOPE

THAT WE CAN GET THINGS RIGHT
AGAIN FOR OURSELVES.

AND I KNOW YOU FEEL
JUST LIKE WE DO, DON'T YOU?

DON'T YOU, NOW?

NOW...

I AIN'T ABOUT
TO FIGHT YOU...

BUT I WILL OFFER YOU
MY HAND IN FRIENDSHIP

ON BEHALF OF
THE BRETHREN HERE.

YOU SEE?

THERE AIN'T NO CHIVALRY
LEFT IN THE SOUTH.

COOPER...

COME WITH US.

I DO HOPE WE'LL BE

OH,
I'M FILTHY DIRTY!

EVEN SO,
ALL THE MORE BEAUTIFUL.

WHERE'S CONSTANCE?

SHE'S AT HOME
IN LEHIGH STATION

WITH THE CHILDREN.

I CABLED I WAS COMING.
DIDN'T YOU GET IT?

CABLED? IT'S PROBABLY
STILL IN CHARLESTON

WAITING DELIVERY.

ONLY BAD NEWS

TRAVELS SWIFTLY,
I'M AFRAID.

MADELINE, I CAN'T--

I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW SORRY I AM

ABOUT ORRY'S DEATH.

MURDER.

ORRY WAS MURDERED,
GEORGE.

BUT LIFE AT
MONT ROYAL GOES ON,

AND THERE IS
SO MUCH TO DO.

IT EASES THE PAIN.

LET'S GET YOU
A DRINK.

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU.

I KNOW I WOULDN'T
BE ALIVE TODAY

IF ORRY AND CHARLIE
HADN'T BROKEN ME OUT

OF THAT
CONFEDERATE PRISON.

HOW IS CHARLIE?
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM?

NOT IN SOME TIME.

HE HEADED WEST.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

HIS SON GUS--

HE'S WITH SOME GOOD
PEOPLE IN CHICAGO.

AND ORRY'S KILLER...

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT HIM?

WHAT LAW REMAINS
IN THE SOUTH, GEORGE,

IS IN THE FORM OF...
TROOPS OF OCCUPATION

AND NIGHT-RIDING
VIGILANCE COMMITTEES.

NO ONE KNOWS THE IDENTITY
OF ORRY'S KILLER.

NO ONE.

[THUNDER]

HOW LONG HAS
THIS MAN BEEN HERE?

WEEKS.

HE WAS FISHED
OUT OF THE RIVER

RANTING AND RAVING,
SO WE KEEP HIM RESTRAINED.

HE'S DEVELOPED SOME
SORT OF BRAIN FEVER.

WELL, SIR...

HOW DO YOU FEEL
TODAY?

CAPTAIN.

I'VE ACHIEVED
THE RANK OF CAPTAIN.

CAPTAIN WHAT?

I DON'T REMEMBER MY NAME.

I REMEMBER...

THE ONCE GREAT AND SOVEREIGN
STATE OF GEORGIA.

I REMEMBER...

WEST POINT...

WHERE MY SUPERIORS COMPARED
MY TACTICAL MANEUVERS

TO NAPOLEON'S!

CAPTAIN--

JEFFERSON DAVIS...

IF JEFFERSON DAVIS...

HAD NOT FAILED TO RECOGNIZE
MY ABILITIES,

THE SOUTH WOULD NOT BE
SUFFERING THIS HUMILIATION

AT THE HANDS
OF THE NORTH!

I WISH TO BE RELEASED
FROM THIS INSTITUTION, SIR.

I HAVE
AN HONORABLE HISTORY

OF SERVICE
WITH THE SOUTH.

SEEMS QUITE LUCID
TO ME.

OH, BUT, SIR--

RELEASE HIM
IMMEDIATELY.

LEAVE THE BED SPACE
FOR TRULY SICK MEN.

[THUNDER]

All:
1 BY 4 EQUALS 4.

NOW PAY ATTENTION--
1 BY 7 EQUALS...

7.

NOW REPEAT AFTER ME--

1 BY 7 EQUALS 7.

GOOD. NOW WE'LL GO
RIGHT ON TO THE 3s.

3 BY 2 EQUALS 6.

GOOD.

3 BY 3 EQUALS 9.

GOOD.

EVERYTHING WAS BUILT
RIGHT HERE.

THE WOOD WAS SALVAGED
FROM THE OLD HOUSE,

AND THEN
IT WAS CUT BY HAND

AND FINISHED
MUCH THE SAME WAY.

THE SCHOOLHOUSE AS WELL.

THEY DID A FINE JOB,

BUT SURELY IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN CHEAPER

TO HAVE THE LUMBER
CUT BY A LOCAL MILL.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING,
GEORGE.

SHERMAN'S TROOPS
LAID WASTE

TO EVERYTHING
THEY GOT THEIR HANDS ON.

ISAAC KANO
AND THE OTHER MEN

FROM THE PLANTATION
DID THE WORK.

FORGIVE ME
FOR ASKING,

BUT HOW MUCH
DID IT COST?

MR. HAZARD,
HOW VERY RUDE OF YOU!

MISS CHAFFEE,

ORRY MAIN
WAS MY BEST FRIEND.

I COME DOWN HERE,
AND I FIND HIS WIDOW

LABORING IN THE FIELDS
LIKE A COMMON FARMHAND.

I SEE HER TABLE
IS SPREAD

WITH AN ABSENCE
OF MEAT OR POULTRY,

AND I SEE HER HANDS
ARE RUBBED RAW!

UH, FORGIVE ME,
LADIES.

WOULD YOU INDULGE US

WITH A FEW MOMENTS
OF PRIVACY?

YOU GO TO JANE, HONEY.

THAT'S A SWEETHEART.

I DON'T INTEND
TO BE RUDE, MADELINE,

BUT I DO SPEAK
DIRECTLY.

HOW MUCH
ARE YOU IN DEBT?

THERE IS NO DEBT,
GEORGE.

WE LIVE QUITE SIMPLY
OFF THE LAND,

AND THOUGH
MEAT IS RARE,

I THINK THE FOOD
IS QUITE GOOD,

AS YOUR EMPTY PLATE
ATTESTS.

MADELINE,
I CAN HELP.

PLEASE ACCEPT IT,

FOR THE SAKE
OF OUR FRIENDSHIP

AND WHAT'S GONE
BETWEEN OUR FAMILIES.

GEORGE, I KNOW YOU MEAN
WELL WITH YOUR OFFER,

BUT IF MONT ROYAL
IS TO SURVIVE,

IT MUST DO SO
UNDER MY HAND.

CHARITY WILL JUST...

TARNISH THAT EFFORT.

DON'T YOU SEE?

I WANT TO SPEAK TO COOPER.

COOPER?

HE HATES
NORTHERNERS.

I'M AFRAID THE WAR

HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL
ON HIS PRIDE.

HE WON'T SEE YOU.

BUT HE'S A BUSINESSMAN,
MADELINE. HE'LL SEE ME.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT CHARITY,

BUT I'VE GOT
A BETTER IDEA--

A PARTNERSHIP.

PARTNERSHIP?

I WANT TO BUILD A SAWMILL,
RIGHT HERE IN MONT ROYAL,

FOR YOU TO MANAGE.

IMAGINE IT--THE ONLY MILL
FOR MILES AROUND,

RIGHT HERE
WHERE THE LOGS

CAN BE FLOATED
DOWN THE RIVER.

NOW, THE SOUTH
NEEDS REBUILDING,

AND YOU CAN AID THAT,
AS WELL AS YOURSELF.

MADELINE,
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

OH, I HAVE NOTHING
TO OFFER IN RETURN.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS IS?

YES.
ORRY TOLD ME.

I HAVE
THE OTHER HALF.

THEN LET'S MAKE IT WHOLE
AND START MENDING OUR LIVES.

THIS WILL BE OUR CONTRACT.

MR. HAZARD, SIR...

I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE
OURSELVES A DEAL

THAT'S GREAT.

UHH.

[LAUGHING]

WHAT WAS THE WAR LIKE?

THE WAR LEFT ME
VERY COLD.

YOU'RE NOT COLD.

YOU'RE WARM AND ALIVE.

WELL, SO IT WOULD
SEEM, WOULDN'T IT?

CAN I ASK YOU
ANOTHER QUESTION?

I IMAGINE YOU'RE
GOING TO ASK IT ANYWAY,

SO WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GO AHEAD?

WHY STAY IN THE ARMY?

THERE'S NOTHING
LEFT FOR ME

IN THE SOUTH ANYMORE.

OUT WEST THERE'S
A WHOLE COUNTRY

TO BE FOUND.

THERE'S A NEED
FOR SOLDIERS

WITH EXPERIENCE.

FIGHTING INDIANS.

NO, I DON'T WANT
TO FIGHT ANYONE

UNLESS THEY PICK
A FIGHT WITH ME.

IT'S JUST WHAT I DO.

I THINK THERE'S BETTER
IN YOU, CHARLIE.

SO HAVE OTHERS,

AND TIME HAS
PROVED THEM WRONG.

TIMES CHANGE.

YOU DON'T
GIVE UP EASY,

DO YOU?

NO.

CHARLIE?

NOT HERE.

NOT FOR MY FIRST TIME
WITH YOU.

YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE?

THIS SOUNDS LIKE
ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONS

THAT LEADS INTO
A LONG DISCUSSION.

NO.

ANSWER ME.

YES, I HAVE BEEN.

WHO WAS SHE?

THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO.

I THINK I COULD LOVE YOU,
CHARLES MAIN.

Woman:
OH, NOT TODAY.

BE BACK SOON.
I EXPECT THIS TO BE DONE.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE YOU GO.

I GOT THE OTHER
ONE OUT BACK.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS NOT CHARITY,
MADELINE.

IT'S THE SAME DEAL I WAS
GOING TO OFFER COOPER,

BUT WE CAN DO IT
WITHOUT HIM.

NOW, IN A YEAR YOU'LL OWN
ALL THE MACHINERY,

AND WE'LL SPLIT THE PROFITS--
60% TO YOU, 40% TO ME.

50-50.

DEAL, BUT WITH
ONE CONDITION.

HAZARD IRON BUILDS
A STEAM ENGINE?

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY,
MADELINE.

I PAID FOR FUN, LADY.

YOU AIN'T IT.

COULD HAVE HAD BETTER
FROM A DEAD COW.

IF YOU WANT FUN,
TAKE A BATH NEXT TIME.

WELL,
IF I HAVE TO BATHE,

I'D RATHER DO IT
TO MYSELF.

WELL, THEN, DO IT!

OHH!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I TOLD YOU
TO TAKE A BATH!

EXCUSE ME. UM, I PAID
FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT.

WHY, HELLO.
AREN'T YOU AMBITIOUS?

BUT I DON'T REALLY
REQUIRE THE USUAL.

I DON'T DO
THE UNUSUAL.

UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU PAY ME, NOT ROSA,

AND THEN IT'S DOUBLE.

THAT'S FINE.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME
IN A NIGHTGOWN...

OR BARE?

UM, A NIGHTGOWN
WOULD BE FINE.

I'LL GET
SOME CLEAN SHEETS.

SEE, I SELL PIANOS.

I'M NOT IN THE MARKET.

BUT I SELL
HOCHSTEIN PIANOS...

TO CHURCH ELDERS.

I'M ONE TUCKERED MAN.

I JUST NEED
A LITTLE COMPANY

AND A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP.

PEOPLE CALL ME FEN.
I DON'T MUCH FAVOR THE REST.

WELL, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T
BRING THE PIANO TO BED,

YOU CAN HAVE AS MUCH
SLEEP AND CUDDLING

AS YOU'D LIKE.

MADAME ROSA SAYS
YOU'RE A LADY OF QUALITY.

WHY, YES...

YES, I AM.

WELL, I'M SORRY YOU'VE
FALLEN ON HARD TIMES.

AND YOU, MY DEAR SIR,
SELL PIANOS!

WE ALL TAKE MONEY
HOWEVER WE CAN GET IT.

OH, YES, OF COURSE.

QUITE.

IS THAT YOUR HOME?

YES.
IT'S THE MOST

BEAUTIFUL PLACE
ON EARTH,

AND SOMEDAY SOON
I'M GOING TO RETURN

AND CLAIM IT FOR MY OWN.

WELL, PERHAPS
I CAN BE OF SERVICE

IN THAT ENDEAVOR.

WELL...

MAYBE YOU CAN.

HOWEVER...

I SHOULD TELL YOU...

THAT THE LAST PERSON
WHO TRIED TO HELP ME

DIED A MOST
UNFORTUNATE DEATH.

LET ME HELP YOU
WITH THIS.

[HUMMING]

♪ SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME ♪

WILL THAT BE ALL?

YES.

I HAVE SEEN
SO MUCH INJUSTICE,

AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE.

THAT'S WHY I FEEL
SO STRONGLY

ABOUT THE NEGROES
AND THE INDIANS.

YOU'VE SEEN CITY LIFE,

BUT YOU'VE READ ABOUT
INJUSTICE,

AND THERE'S
A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HOW CAN YOU SAVE ONE
AND FIGHT ALL THE REST?

I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT
ANY OF THEM, WILLA.

I'M A SOLDIER.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.

BUT WHY DO YOU
HAVE TO FIGHT?

SEE, THE CHEYENNE, THE COMANCHE
THEY HAVE A REASON.

THEY'RE FIGHTING TO PROTECT
THEIR WAY OF LIFE.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL

IF SOMEONE WAS TRYING
TO DESTROY YOUR WAY OF LIFE?

I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO
FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE.

WELL, IT ALREADY WAS,

AND I DIDN'T MUCH
CARE FOR IT.

Willa:
WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK?

EXCUSE ME,
GENTLEMEN.

WHISKEY...

WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN?

YES.

BEG PARDON, MA'AM,

BUT I MEAN NO INSULT
TO YOU OR YOUR BEAUTY.

NOT SO FOR YOU,
JOHNNY REB.

GO AWAY, VENABLE.

CAPTAIN VENABLE TO YOU.

ONLY ON
THE PARADE GROUND.

GO AWAY, VENABLE.

THE MAN WHO PROMOTED YOU
TO SERGEANT, MAIN,

MAY HAVE
FORGOTTEN THE WAR,

BUT I HAVEN'T.

I HAVE POWER OVER YOU--
AND ALWAYS WILL--

IN THIS MAN'S ARMY.

IF YOU WANT TO
SPEAK ABOUT POWER,

LET'S GO OUTSIDE
RIGHT NOW.

YOU'LL PAY...

SERGEANT.

MAY I TAKE
YOUR ORDER?

NO, THAT'LL BE ALL.

IF YOU DON'T MIND,

I BELIEVE I'VE LOST
MY APPETITE.

WILL...

CHARLIE.

I HAVE TO GO.

REVEILLE
ISN'T UNTIL 5:00.

COME BACK TO BED.

I HAVE TO TAKE MY HORSE
TO THE POST.

I'M GOING TO CHICAGO.

CHICAGO?

WILLA, I HAVE A SON.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM
IN A WHILE,

AND TOMORROW'S
HIS BIRTHDAY.

FRIENDS OF MINE--
A BRIGADIER AND HIS WIFE--

TAKE CARE OF HIM
FOR ME UP NORTH.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

WHAT ELSE
HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME?

AM I JUST
YOUR KEPT WOMAN?

DOES YOUR WIFE KNOW ABOUT
YOUR ACTRESS WHORE?

I DON'T HAVE A WIFE.

WILLA, YOU, UH...

YOU ONCE ASKED ME
IF I WAS EVER IN LOVE.

AND, UH...
HER NAME WAS AUGUSTA.

WE, UH...

WE WERE GOING TO BE MARRIED
DURING THE WAR...

BUT SHE WAS KILLED
IN VIRGINIA.

SHE LEFT ME A SON.

HOW OLD IS HE?

5.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

GUS.

WILL, I SWORE
I'D NEVER LET MYSELF

FEEL THIS WAY AGAIN.

DO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

I...

CHARLIE...

WILL YOU COME BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU
HAVE TO SAY NOW, MAIN?

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU GOT ME OUTNUMBERED,

BUT THEN AGAIN,
THAT'D BE YOUR WAY,

WOULDN'T IT, VENABLE?

BOYS.

BETTER ODDS THAN MOST
RAPED AND MURDERED WOMEN

HAD IN KENTUCKY.

OH, I WOULDN'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER RAPED AND
MURDERED ANYBODY MYSELF.

GUERRILLAS FROM YOUR ARMY
KILLED MY MOTHER,

THEN RAPED AND MURDERED
MY SISTER.

DISPLAY OF SOUTHERN
CHIVALRY, NO DOUBT.

TAKE THE SON OF A BITCH.

MY BOY, YOU STAY HERE.
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT, UNCLE DOLPH--

SHH. BE QUIET. SHH.
WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN.

OK.

YOU STAY.

PICK HIM UP!

HOLD IT!

ALL RIGHT,
LIEUTENANT.

DROP THAT PICK
IN YOUR HAND

BEFORE I PUT A HOLE
IN YOU, CAPTAIN.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THIS IS ABOUT,

SAVE FOUR TO ONE
DON'T SEEM FAIR.

SO YOU BETTER GET.
GO ON, GET!

A KICK IN THE HEAD FEELS
RIGHT POORLY, CAPTAIN.

YOU AIM TO MAKE
THAT DISCOVERY?

NO? CRAWL OUT OF HERE
LIKE THE LIZARD YOU ARE

ON ALL FOURS.

GO ON.

GO ON.

HEY, SERGEANT?

HEY, SOLDIER BOY.

WHAT'LL IT BE,
FRIEND, WHISKEY?

YEAH.

AND THIS ONE.

HOW MUCH FOR
THIS ONE?

SHE'S THE BEST ONE
WE GOT.

$2.00, AND
I'LL TELL YOU THIS--

YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.

EXCUSE ME, LUIS,

BUT, WELL, YOU SEEM
TO HAVE FORGOTTEN

THAT I'M SPOKEN FOR.

I'M WILLARD FENWAY'S
GIRL NOW.

WELL, I DON'T SEE FENWAY
HERE NOW. DO YOU, ROSA?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

SHE SAID SHE'S
FENWAY'S GIRL.

NO, ROSA, NO!

UPSTAIRS!

DAMN IT, LUIS!

[SHOUTING]

FENWAY'S GIRL!

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

iMAMACITA!

CAN YOU MAKE A PIANO?

"HELLO, FEN"
MIGHT BE NICE.

MAKE A PIANO?

I'M A DRUMMER

WHEN IT COMES TO TIMBRE,
TONE, AND ACTION,

BUT I KNOW
MEN WHO CAN.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
FENWAY PIANOS.

WE'RE GOING TO SELL THEM

TO EVERY
SPORTING HOUSE AND SALOON

THIS SIDE OF CHICAGO.

I'M THROUGH WITH TRYING
TO GET MONT ROYAL BACK FROM...

THE POSITION
I'VE BEEN IN LATELY.

WELL, IT'S GOING
TO TAKE CAPITAL.

IT'S HERE...

UNDER ROSA'S DESK.

EVERY OTHER DAY
SHE TAKES MONEY TO THE BANK,

AND SHE BRINGS BACK GOLD,

AND SHE PUTS IT IN A HOLE
UNDERNEATH HER DESK.

THAT'S ONE
CRAZY NOTION.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE
THE PAIR OF US.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO MOVE THAT DESK,

AND WE HAVE TO GET
THAT GOLD OUT.

BUT WE ARE
GOING TO DO IT.

I'M GOING TO NEED A HORSE,
I'M GOING TO NEED A GUN.

I DON'T HAVE A GUN.

WELL, THEN GET ONE.

[TRAIN WHISTLE]

ALL ABOARD!

EXCUSE ME.

ALL ABOARD!

EXCUSE ME.

I'M TRYING TO LOCATE
A GENERAL GEORGE HAZARD.

I'M PROMISED A POSITION
AT THE IRONWORKS FOUNDRY.

THE GENERAL'S AWAY
FOR THE TIME BEING,

AND THE FOUNDRY'S
NOT HIRING.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE HERE.
GEORGE AND I

GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER
AT THE POINT.

WE WERE GOOD FRIENDS,

AND HE PROMISED TO
HIRE ME AFTER THE WAR.

HE SWORE TO ME.

WELL, IF THE GENERAL
PROMISED,

WHEN HE RETURNS, NO DOUBT
HE'LL SEE YOU EMPLOYED.

HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD.

AS DO I.

A FINE QUALITY.

MEANWHILE, IF YOU DON'T MIND
SWAMPING OUT THE STATION,

RUNNING MESSAGES
FOR THE TELEGRAPHER,

YOU CAN WORK HERE

UNTIL GENERAL HAZARD
COMES BACK.

THAT'D BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU CAN EVEN BUNK DOWN
HERE IN THE BAGGAGE ROOM.

AND YOUR NAME IS?

UH, BEN...

BEN ELLIS.

UNCLE DOLPH!

UNCLE DOLPH,
HE WOKE UP!

WHOA.

OH, NO.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT
RIGHT NOW.

YOU TOOK
A HELL OF A BEATING.

YOU GOT MORE PURPLE ON YOU
THAN A SIDE OF BAD BEEF.

HOW LONG I BEEN OUT?

4 DAYS.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME,
SOLDIER?

CHARLES MAIN.

I'M ADOLPHUS O. JACKSON.

WHERE ARE WE?

A WAY WEST
INTO MISSOURI.

WE'RE HEADING
WESTER.

THERE WE GO.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

OH, IT'S JUST
A LITTLE HERBS,

SOME
BUFFALO BRAINS.

IT'S A GOOD SALVE--

BRINGS DOWN
THE SWELLING.

WELL, PUT IT ON YOURSELF
WHERE IT HURTS.

YOU KNOW, THEM FELLAS
THAT WAS BEATING ON YOU...

THEY WAS DETERMINED
TO FINISH YOU,

BUT I RUN THEM OFF.

I GUESS I OWE YOU
FOR THAT.

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT?

IT'S AN OLD GRUDGE.

MUST BE.

THEY CHARGED YOU WITH
DESERTION THE NEXT DAY,

SO I PULLED YOU
OUT OF THERE.

IF YOU GO BACK NOW,

THEY'LL JAIL YOU
OR SHOOT YOU.

IF THE ARMY DON'T,

YOUR SOLDIER FRIENDS
WILL FINISH THAT JOB.

SO YOU CAN STICK
WITH US IF YOU LIKE.

WE'RE THE JACKSON
TRADING COMPANY.

THIS IS
MY BROTHER'S BOY JIM.

HI.

HE'S A LITTLE
TOUCHED IN THE HEAD,

BUT HE'S A GOOD LAD.

WELL, HELL.

I'M GOING TO LEVEL
WITH YOU.

I PULLED YOU
OUT OF THAT FIGHT

BECAUSE I NEED A MAN

TO COVER MY BACK
THAT CAN SHOOT.

NOW, JIM HERE--

HE TRIES, BUT HE'S THE ONE
THAT NEEDS CARING FOR.

WE TRADE WITH THE ARAPAHO
AND THE CHEYENNE,

AND THERE'S CONSIDERABLE
PROFIT IN IT, TOO.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU 20%,

AND IF YOU PROVE OUT,

I'LL MAKE YOU
A FULL PARTNER.

PRESUMING
YOU NEED A PARTNER,

YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING

WHAT HAPPENED TO
YOUR LAST ONE, DO YOU?

I AIN'T GOING
TO LIE TO YOU.

I LOST OLD DEAN
ON THE LAST TRIP.

HE GRABBED
A CHEYENNE WOMAN

WHO HAD A HUSBAND,
AND THEY CARVED HIM UP.

HEH HEH.

IT'S SWEET COUNTRY
OUT THERE.

THEY GOT PLENTY OF
THE FAIREST MAIDENS

YOU EVER SEEN
THAT AIN'T MARRIED.

I GET ALONG
WITH THE CHEYENNE...

BECAUSE I ADMIRE THEM,

AND I RESPECT THEM.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT
YOURSELF A PARTNER.

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT.

CAN YOU SHAKE?

HEH HEH.

OH, I GOT LUCKY--

RAN INTO A WAGON TRAIN UP
OVER ON THE OVERLAND ROAD,

AND I TRADED SOME SKINS
FOR THESE OTHER HORSES.

YEAH.

GOT THE BOY WORKING.
THAT'S GOOD.

I NEVER THOUGHT HE'D
LISTEN TO ANYONE BUT ME.

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

IT WASN'T HARD.
I HAVE A BOY MYSELF.

IT JUST TAKES PATIENCE.

UH, SPEAKING OF THAT,

LET'S LOAD UP
AND MOVE OUT.

WANT TO
CATCH THE CHEYENNE

BEFORE THEY GO INTO HIDING
FOR THE SEASON.

THEY'RE MAKING WAR.

GOING TO LEARN YOU
THE CHEYENNE, CHARLIE...

LEARN YOU WELL
SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HAIR.

THAT'S IT, JIM.
YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

THANKS.

LET'S ROLL IT TIGHT.

COME ON.
LET'S ROLL IT TIGHT.

HERE. HERE WE GO.

YEAH.

SAM?

SAM?

SAM, I'M BACK.

AND YOU RETURN
LOUDLY AS A TEMPEST.

FIND WHAT'S-HIS-NAME?

NO.

WELL, THERE IS
NO SHORTAGE

OF PRODIGALS
IN THIS WORLD, MY DEAR,

NOR IS THERE A SHORTAGE
OF EAGER YOUNG MEN.

YOU'RE DRUNK.

HAPPILY SO.

I'VE BEEN GONE
FOR ONLY ONE DAY.

DIDN'T TAKE THAT LONG
TO GET DRUNK,

ROARING DRUNK.

WHERE ARE THE RECEIPTS?

I DON'T KNOW.

DID YOU GIVE
A PERFORMANCE?

I CAN'T QUITE RECALL.

NOW, NOW, NOW.

WE'LL FIND YOU
ANOTHER SOLDIER BOY...

IF YOU WISH.

MRS. DUNCAN?

YES.

I'M WILLA PARKER.
I WROTE TO YOU.

OH. IT'S MAUREEN, DEAR.
PLEASE COME IN.

THE ARMY CALLS HIM
A DESERTER,

BUT HE JUST RECEIVED
A PROMOTION.

ALL HE SAID
IN HIS LETTER TO ME

WAS THAT THE ARMY
WASN'T WORKING OUT,

AND HE WAS HEADING WEST.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
HIS SON?

WELL, CHARLIE
WRITES TO HIM,

AND HE TOLD GUS
ABOUT YOU IN HIS LETTER.

WE ALSO
RECEIVED LETTERS,

BUT HE DIDN'T SAY
MUCH MORE

THAN YOU KNOW ALREADY.

SOMETHING MUST'VE
GONE TERRIBLY WRONG

IN CHARLIE'S LIFE.

HE'S NOT A DESERTER.
HE WAS A FINE SOLDIER.

HE WROTE ABOUT ME?

AND WAS VERY FLATTERING,
BUT AFTER MEETING YOU,

HE CLEARLY WAS NOT
FLATTERING ENOUGH.

I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM.

CHARLIE IS EASY TO LOVE,

AND DIFFICULT
TO HOLD ONTO.

BUT HE IS FOREVER LOYAL
TO HIS COMMITMENTS

ONCE THEY ARE MADE.

THIS CHARGE OF DESERTION
IS VERY DISTURBING.

MY HUSBAND
BRIGADIER DUNCAN

HAD JUST PUT IN FOR
A TRANSFER TO ST. LOUIS

SO THAT CHARLIE
COULD BE NEAR HIS CHILD.

HELLO, SWEETHEART.

THIS IS
CHARLIE'S SON GUS.

HELLO, GUS.

I'M WILLA.

YOU KNOW MY PAPA?

YES.

HE SENT THIS TO ME.

OH, HE DID?

ARE YOU THE BEAUTIFUL LADY
THAT MAKES MY PAPA HAPPY?

OH. YES.

THAT'S SWEET OF YOU
TO SAY THAT.

I DO HOPE SO.

ALL RIGHT, NOW.
TAKE HIM HOME.

ALL RIGHT.

WHOO-HOO! WHOO!

WE DID IT, MADELINE!

WHOO-HOO!

IT WORKED.
IT REALLY WORKED.

I NEVER DOUBTED
IT WOULD.

NOW ALL WE NEED
IS SOME BUSINESS.

WELL, DON'T WORRY.
ONCE THE WORD GETS AROUND,

BUSINESS WILL COME,
BELIEVE ME.

COME, SIT WITH ME
A WHILE.

I GOT A LETTER
FROM CONSTANCE TODAY.

SHE SAID THAT MY LETTER
TO HER REVEALED A DELIGHT

THAT SHE HADN'T SEEN IN ME
SINCE THE WAR...

OR SINCE GETTYSBURG,
TO BE EXACT.

I FOUGHT SO LONG AND HARD
TO DESTROY THIS PLACE.

ISN'T IT FUNNY
THAT I SHOULD FEEL

SOME PEACE
HERE AT LAST?

IT'S TIME I WENT HOME,
MADELINE.

WELL, YOU CAN
COME BACK...

BRING CONSTANCE
AND THE CHILDREN.

YES.

I LOVE HER VERY MUCH,
MADELINE.

I KNOW.

COME ON. I'LL HELP YOU
START PACKING.

BEN.

BEN.

WIRE JUST CAME IN
FOR MRS. HAZARD.

YOUR FRIEND--
GENERAL HAZARD--

HE'S ON THE WASHINGTON

NOW RUN ALONG AND BRING
HIS MISSIS THE GOOD NEWS.

IT'S UNDER HERE. HELP ME
MOVE THE DESK THIS WAY.

SHH.

MY GOD, THE HORSES
CAN'T CARRY ALL THIS.

WELL, THEN WE'LL STASH IT,
AND WE'LL COME BACK.

WE COULDN'T SPEND
ALL THIS IN A LIFETIME.

BUT OF COURSE WE CAN.

GREED IS A TRUE SIN.

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

IT'S BETTER THAN
LOSING YOUR LIFE.

JUST GRAB A LITTLE,

RUNNING WOLF'S BAND.

THEY'RE PEACEABLE,

RUNNING WOLF'S
A REAL KICK

IF HE AIN'T
TOO LIQUORED UP.

YOU KNOW HIM,
DO YOU?

WE'VE HAD
SOME GOOD TRADES.

HE LIKES ME BETTER
THAN MOST WHITES.

YEAH, RUNNING WOLF,
HE'S PEACEFUL FOR THE MOST PART,

BUT WATCH YOUR STEP

OK. HEY. HEY.

AND WHEN I TELL YOU
TO DO SOMETHING,

FOR GOD'S SAKE,
DO IT QUICK.

I GATHER THIS IS
NOT RUNNING WOLF.

YOU GATHERED THAT UP RIGHT.

THIS IS MAN-READY-FOR-WAR.

I CALL HIM SCAR.

I RECKON YOU CAN
SEE WHY.

DOES THIS HAPPEN OFTEN?

IT DOES.

HA. IT DOES.

HE'S GOING TO LIFT OUR HAIR.

AND NOW WHAT?

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET DOWN

JUST LISTEN TO ME, CHARLIE,
AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF JIM.

LISTEN, CHARLES,
GRAB JIM'S HAND.

CAN YOU RUN?

RUN? YEAH.
I CAN RUN.

WELL, JIMMY
CAN'T RUN MUCH,

SO YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO DRAG HIM.

AND WHERE AM I
DRAGGING HIM TO?

JUST FOLLOW ME.

ARE YOU READY?

NO.

READY OR NOT,
HERE I GO.

COME ON NOW!

[SPEAKING CHEYENNE

WE'RE SAFE NOW.

YOU WON'T NEED
ANY WEAPONS HERE.

THIS IS JUST FINE.

RUNNING IN HERE,
THAT'S REAL GOOD.

I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU'VE FIGURED

THOSE GUYS KNOW
HOW TO GET IN--

THEY WON'T. YOU SEE, IT'S LIKE
THE OLD DAYS IN EUROPE.

WHEN A THIEF WAS
RUNNING FROM THE LAW,

HE COULD GO INTO A CHURCH,

AND THEY GAVE HIM
SANCTUARY.

WELL, THIS ISN'T
EXACTLY A CHURCH, IS IT?

WELL, OF COURSE IT IS.
THIS IS A MEDICINE LODGE.

SAME AS A CHURCH
TO THE CHEYENNE.

OF COURSE, ONCE
WE WALK OUT THAT DOOR,

THEY'LL SKIN US ALIVE
AND FEED US TO THE FISH.

[SPEAKING CHEYENNE LANGUAGE]

HE SAYS THAT
CHIEF RUNNING WOLF

WILL COME HERE TOMORROW,

AND THAT WE'RE SAFE TILL THEN,
AND HE'LL GIVE HIS VERDICT.

HE ALSO SAYS THAT
I SHOULDN'T HAVE GRABBED

SCAR'S BREECH-CLOUT
AND HUMILIATED HIM.

TELL HIM GOOD ADVICE

ALWAYS COMES LATE,
DOESN'T IT?

WELL, AT LEAST I BOUGHT US
SOME TIME, DIDN'T I?

COOPER'S A GOOD MAN,

IS THAT RIGHT?
YOU A GOOD MAN, MR. COOPER?

THIS WAY, SIR.

GO ON, MR. MAIN.
LIGHT IT.

LET'S RIDE, BOYS.

LET'S DO IT!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHEN THE WORK'S GOING
TO BE DONE, HONEY.

WELL, DO WE HAVE TO WAIT
TO GET MARRIED?

OOH, I RECKON NOT.

TITUS IS WILLING
TO STAND AS WITNESS

BEFORE GOD FOR ME.

MADELINE WILL DO
THE SAME FOR ME.

MISS MADELINE?

MADELINE.

YOU STILL THINK
THE OLD WAY, ISAAC.

SHE'S MY FRIEND.

YEAH, BUT SHE WHITE.

SORT OF.

AND YOU WORKED ALONGSIDE
GENERAL GEORGE HAZARD.

AND YOU SHOOK HIS HAND

AND HUGGED...

AND YOU LIKED IT.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT.

OLD GEORGE...

ISAAC, A FIRE.

THAT AIN'T NO FIRE.

YOU GO GET MISS MADELINE
AND THE TEACHER.

DON'T YOU LET
NOBODY SEE YOU.

THAT AIN'T NO FIRE.

THAT'S THE DEVIL
COMING DOWN THE ROAD.

NOW YOU GO ON.

GO ON NOW. GIT.

BLOW OUT THE LAMPS!

LOOK!

COME ON OUT, MISSY!

WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!

EITHER YOU CLOSE DOWN
THAT NIGGER SCHOOL,

OR WE'RE GOING TO
CLOSE IT DOWN BY FIRE.

TONIGHT.

STAY DOWN.

GETTYS, THAT HOOD
DOESN'T HIDE YOUR VOICE,

AND, COOPER,

WHO WOULDN'T KNOW
THAT HORSE OF YOURS?

CLOSE THE SCHOOL,
MADELINE, PLEASE.

WE'LL LEAVE YOU
IN PEACE.

YOU WANT TO
BURN ME DOWN,

THEN GO AHEAD.

AND MAY THE CURSE OF JESUS
BE ON ALL YOUR HEADS.

ALL OF YOU.

YOU CAN'T TALK

THIS WAY. COME ON.

WEST POINT TOGETHER.

THOSE BOYS USED TO HAVE
A PET NAME FOR ME.

SOMETHING FOOLISH
FROM YOUTH.

INJURED ME.

THEY RUINED MY REPUTATION

OF A MILITARY CAREER.

THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
