1
00:00:27,609 --> 00:00:30,363
Charge!
2
00:00:37,542 --> 00:00:39,370
Charge!
3
00:03:45,314 --> 00:03:46,513
Custer...
4
00:03:46,692 --> 00:03:47,806
...General.
5
00:03:48,068 --> 00:03:51,523
I didn't recognize you without
your hourse. Sit down.
6
00:03:54,872 --> 00:03:56,118
Thank you, sir.
7
00:04:04,554 --> 00:04:06,595
Lincoln wants us to write
personally...
8
00:04:06,724 --> 00:04:08,552
...to the widow and
grieving mother. You knew...
9
00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:11,429
...Major Bridge, didn't you?
- I did.
10
00:04:12,151 --> 00:04:15,069
"As Commanding General,
I have the opportunity...
11
00:04:15,197 --> 00:04:18,069
...to know your late husband
Major Bridges.
12
00:04:18,202 --> 00:04:20,196
I was present at his death.
13
00:04:20,539 --> 00:04:22,367
It may be of some comfort
to you to know that...
14
00:04:22,460 --> 00:04:24,584
...he died as the coward he was,
with his back to the enemy...
15
00:04:24,755 --> 00:04:26,583
...climbing a fence
to get away.
16
00:04:26,716 --> 00:04:29,803
- What did you write?
- The usual, of course.
17
00:04:30,807 --> 00:04:32,302
"He met his end unflinching...
18
00:04:32,434 --> 00:04:34,013
...despite the severity
of his wounds...
19
00:04:34,145 --> 00:04:36,186
...and sacrificed his life
so that others could live.
20
00:04:36,315 --> 00:04:39,271
Etc, etc.
Phillip Sheridan.
21
00:04:39,989 --> 00:04:43,858
Commanding General
Army of Potomac".
22
00:04:46,124 --> 00:04:48,368
You're staying in the Army,
aren't you, Custer?
23
00:04:48,461 --> 00:04:50,171
I like the life,
you know that.
24
00:04:50,672 --> 00:04:52,299
You want me to find
a post for you...
25
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,254
...someplace lively,
interesting?
26
00:04:54,513 --> 00:04:56,306
That's what am I here for,
General?
27
00:04:56,475 --> 00:04:58,884
There's some Indians out west
that need killing.
28
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:01,097
That's a dirty job.
29
00:05:02,109 --> 00:05:04,946
Not the sort of thing
that appeals to you, is it?
30
00:05:06,158 --> 00:05:07,189
No.
31
00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:09,736
No, you prefer a holy war.
32
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,244
The state of union.
33
00:05:11,374 --> 00:05:14,745
Onward Christian soldiers,
free the slaves!
34
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:19,377
Well, I suppose
I can't blame you.
35
00:05:19,846 --> 00:05:21,970
No one's gonna pin a medal
on you for killing Indians...
36
00:05:22,101 --> 00:05:25,187
...and stealing their land.
- What's the matter?
37
00:05:25,857 --> 00:05:28,065
I'm concerned about you,
son.
38
00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:32,444
You're the only man I know...
39
00:05:32,576 --> 00:05:33,775
...who reached the top
of his profession...
40
00:05:33,911 --> 00:05:36,784
...and was on his way down
before he was 30.
41
00:05:37,209 --> 00:05:38,538
What happens
to a boy General...
42
00:05:38,669 --> 00:05:41,044
...when they don't need
anymore Generals?
43
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,123
I don't know.
44
00:05:43,929 --> 00:05:45,128
Tell me!
45
00:05:45,431 --> 00:05:47,591
Well, I suppose the boy general
should become...
46
00:05:47,727 --> 00:05:51,228
...a boy farmer
or boy bank clerk, or...
47
00:05:52,025 --> 00:05:53,984
How about a cowboy?
48
00:06:11,433 --> 00:06:13,557
Oh, I forgot you, don't drink.
49
00:06:13,686 --> 00:06:15,063
You didn't forget.
50
00:06:16,191 --> 00:06:18,398
You just keep trying.
51
00:06:20,573 --> 00:06:23,611
All right. I'll make a drunk
out of you yet.
52
00:06:25,999 --> 00:06:30,165
General, you must have
something I'm right for.
53
00:06:30,507 --> 00:06:33,675
I've got a few jobs here,
you can have your pick.
54
00:06:33,803 --> 00:06:34,967
I guess you deserve it.
55
00:06:37,017 --> 00:06:39,141
Occupation:
Garrison in Atlanta.
56
00:06:39,772 --> 00:06:43,107
Soft life, sort or like
being a Prison Warden.
57
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:46,740
- No.
- Here's another one.
58
00:06:47,744 --> 00:06:51,328
There's an arsenal up in
New York State, out of service.
59
00:06:51,666 --> 00:06:53,791
They won't be making
any more guns...
60
00:06:54,129 --> 00:06:56,372
...but its government property
so has to be protected.
61
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:58,843
I guess somebody's got
to make sure the kids...
62
00:06:58,970 --> 00:07:01,094
...don't throw rocks
through the windows.
63
00:07:01,224 --> 00:07:02,256
No!
64
00:07:02,476 --> 00:07:03,675
All right.
65
00:07:04,272 --> 00:07:07,558
Here's a job as Cavalry
Instructor with West Point.
66
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:10,937
Teaching the yahoos how
to get off and on a horse.
67
00:07:11,115 --> 00:07:12,232
No, General, no.
68
00:07:13,077 --> 00:07:15,570
- Well, what do you want?
- I want action!
69
00:07:18,544 --> 00:07:20,872
That brings us back
to the Indians.
70
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:24,087
They're on the land and
we want it. Plain robbery.
71
00:07:24,262 --> 00:07:25,888
You won't be able to tell
yourself you're fighting for...
72
00:07:26,015 --> 00:07:28,555
...a noble cause. You know there
must be over a million of them.
73
00:07:28,687 --> 00:07:31,440
You could be outnumbered
a hundred to one.
74
00:07:31,567 --> 00:07:34,060
You'd be fighting against the
best legged cavalry in the...
75
00:07:34,195 --> 00:07:35,774
...world and you'll have
to chase those devils...
76
00:07:35,907 --> 00:07:37,568
...over the roughest
country in the world...
77
00:07:37,701 --> 00:07:39,946
...desert, mountains,
prairies.
78
00:07:40,247 --> 00:07:42,657
You know, Custer?
You could become...
79
00:07:42,793 --> 00:07:46,496
...a living legend.
Or get yourself killed.
80
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:51,098
Dead men make
better legends.
81
00:07:55,773 --> 00:07:59,228
It's up to you.
You want to go west?
82
00:08:43,478 --> 00:08:45,436
Libby! Libby!
83
00:09:09,772 --> 00:09:12,443
How come they didn't name
the boat after you?
84
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:14,729
Take the flowers, Libby.
85
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:21,537
Are you really a General, Ody?
86
00:09:22,001 --> 00:09:24,291
You think I hired
this uniform?
87
00:09:25,298 --> 00:09:27,707
It's true what everyone's
saying...
88
00:09:27,844 --> 00:09:29,802
...you won the war
all by yourself.
89
00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:31,759
No, I was only in 60 charges.
90
00:09:31,892 --> 00:09:33,933
I know, I fought in every one
of them too...
91
00:09:34,062 --> 00:09:35,973
...alone in bed every night.
92
00:09:36,107 --> 00:09:38,779
You're not the only hero
in the family.
93
00:09:40,322 --> 00:09:42,198
Did I tell you they built
a statue of you...
94
00:09:42,326 --> 00:09:45,246
...outside the courthouse?
- How do I look?
95
00:09:45,874 --> 00:09:47,784
Damned if he was getting off
that boat...
96
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,663
...10' tall.
97
00:09:50,214 --> 00:09:53,466
I used to go out there every day
and sit beside you and knit.
98
00:09:59,564 --> 00:10:01,723
And I climbed down
now and then?
99
00:10:12,543 --> 00:10:16,211
- Where's your luggage?
- On the boat
100
00:10:17,635 --> 00:10:19,213
You going somewhere?
101
00:10:19,681 --> 00:10:23,383
The Dakota territory.
This time you're going with me.
102
00:10:23,895 --> 00:10:26,304
Remember what the man said,
"for richer or poorer...
103
00:10:26,442 --> 00:10:28,316
...for better for worse".
104
00:10:29,655 --> 00:10:31,530
My bag's in there.
105
00:10:41,341 --> 00:10:43,632
Have you got
a comfortable cabin?
106
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:51,519
General Sheridan
sent me a message.
107
00:10:54,363 --> 00:10:57,948
This time we're in this thing
together, my friend.
108
00:12:46,717 --> 00:12:48,296
Miners.
I warned 'em.
109
00:12:49,054 --> 00:12:51,179
Is this show being
put on for us?
110
00:12:53,853 --> 00:12:55,729
They're telling you,
General Custer.
111
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:58,392
Keep the settlers out the
Indian territory...
112
00:12:58,528 --> 00:13:00,653
...and they'll handle things
themselves.
113
00:13:01,325 --> 00:13:04,114
You seem to understand the
Indian point of view, Benteen?
114
00:13:20,398 --> 00:13:21,145
Watch ahead!
115
00:13:21,608 --> 00:13:23,852
Grab the stick, Charlie!
Try to steer it!
116
00:13:24,030 --> 00:13:26,438
Try to steer it!
We're coming to a right turn!
117
00:13:26,867 --> 00:13:28,031
Turn to the left!
118
00:13:28,286 --> 00:13:30,281
To the left, go on!
119
00:13:30,415 --> 00:13:32,290
Hold it steady!
120
00:13:33,002 --> 00:13:35,578
We're coming to a right!
Go on, watch it!
121
00:13:35,882 --> 00:13:37,591
Watch it!
To the right!
122
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:40,345
To the right, hurry up!
123
00:13:40,807 --> 00:13:42,220
Hold it, hold it!
Are you all right, Charlie?
124
00:13:42,978 --> 00:13:44,520
Turn left!
125
00:13:44,981 --> 00:13:47,390
To the right!
Go on, to the right!
126
00:13:48,446 --> 00:13:51,116
To the left!
Go on, to the left!
127
00:13:54,121 --> 00:13:56,660
Hold steady,
Turn right, Charlie!
128
00:13:57,084 --> 00:13:59,044
We're coming to a right!
To a right!
129
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:01,000
Hurry up, to the right!
130
00:14:02,885 --> 00:14:06,257
To the left, go on,
to the left!
131
00:14:06,809 --> 00:14:09,053
To the left,
hold steady!
132
00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:10,433
To the left!
133
00:14:10,732 --> 00:14:13,225
Now, to the right!
To the right!
134
00:14:13,945 --> 00:14:16,948
To the left, go on!
Hurry up, to the left!
135
00:14:17,827 --> 00:14:20,403
Hold steady!
Watch ahead, to the right!
136
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:21,739
To the right!
137
00:14:22,043 --> 00:14:24,499
Now, to the left!
To the left!
138
00:14:24,713 --> 00:14:25,829
Watch it!
139
00:14:35,231 --> 00:14:37,522
Dismount the men,
prepare to fire.
140
00:14:39,655 --> 00:14:42,065
The Indians are well within
their rights, Sir.
141
00:14:42,535 --> 00:14:45,324
The treaty gives them the
authority on their territory.
142
00:14:51,884 --> 00:14:54,008
Dis-mount!
143
00:14:54,596 --> 00:14:56,721
Fire!
144
00:15:06,117 --> 00:15:08,074
All right, the Indians
are out of range.
145
00:15:08,202 --> 00:15:10,030
Stop wasting your ammunition.
146
00:15:10,707 --> 00:15:12,202
De-sist!
147
00:15:20,933 --> 00:15:22,393
Atten-tion!
148
00:15:22,852 --> 00:15:24,727
Present sabres!
149
00:15:34,955 --> 00:15:37,365
Mayor Reno reporting, sir.
Welcome to the fort.
150
00:15:37,502 --> 00:15:39,791
- Troops ready for inspection.
- Thank, you, Major.
151
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:34,799
I hope the parade
met with your approval, sir.
152
00:16:34,931 --> 00:16:36,841
- Very good, one observation.
- Sir?
153
00:16:36,976 --> 00:16:38,091
You only play
Hail to the Chief...
154
00:16:38,228 --> 00:16:40,021
...for the President
of the United States.
155
00:16:40,148 --> 00:16:43,020
- I'll have that corrected, Sir.
- Thank you. Dismiss the men.
156
00:16:43,153 --> 00:16:44,185
Yes, sir.
157
00:16:46,283 --> 00:16:49,037
Order! Left!
158
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:53,581
- Benteen.
- Dismiss the troops, Sergeant.
159
00:16:53,754 --> 00:16:54,953
Atten-tion!
160
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:56,836
Troops dis-missed!
161
00:17:02,018 --> 00:17:04,177
Why'd you join the Army,
Captain?
162
00:17:08,987 --> 00:17:10,483
Come in, Major Reno.
163
00:17:11,826 --> 00:17:15,280
Just asking the Captain here
why he joined the Army.
164
00:17:16,709 --> 00:17:18,120
Sit down.
165
00:17:22,009 --> 00:17:24,218
You're a crusader, ain't you?
166
00:17:25,306 --> 00:17:26,967
Serve the Union.
167
00:17:27,101 --> 00:17:28,562
Now you want to serve
the world.
168
00:17:28,687 --> 00:17:31,061
Well, that's not the kind
of Army I'm gonna run.
169
00:17:31,735 --> 00:17:33,110
Yes, sir.
170
00:17:34,321 --> 00:17:38,536
Now, Major, what made you
choose the military way of life?
171
00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:41,666
Well, sir, I was born into it.
172
00:17:41,792 --> 00:17:44,914
I came from a long line
of professional soldiers.
173
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:46,501
My father fought
with Andy Jackson...
174
00:17:46,675 --> 00:17:49,002
...and my brother
was at the Alamo.
175
00:17:49,179 --> 00:17:50,759
Your father a drunk, too.
176
00:17:53,311 --> 00:17:55,720
I'd like to remind you sir, that
I'm an officer and a gentleman.
177
00:17:55,858 --> 00:17:57,602
I was wondering, Major,
if you come from...
178
00:17:57,736 --> 00:17:59,231
...a long line of drunkards?
179
00:18:01,033 --> 00:18:04,119
By the way, that parade of
yours out there, that was...
180
00:18:04,246 --> 00:18:06,870
...the most stupid
miserable parade...
181
00:18:07,001 --> 00:18:09,374
...I ever saw in all my life.
182
00:18:11,466 --> 00:18:13,925
How many drinks
did you have today, Major?
183
00:18:14,304 --> 00:18:16,382
One or two.
Can't remember?
184
00:18:17,309 --> 00:18:19,600
I can tell you why
you joined the Army.
185
00:18:20,774 --> 00:18:22,934
It was because the Army
gave you a home.
186
00:18:23,988 --> 00:18:26,028
Because blind or sober...
187
00:18:26,158 --> 00:18:27,783
...know matter how much
he drinks...
188
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:29,192
...you're entitled
to the saloon...
189
00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:31,455
...you're entitled to the
respect of every officer...
190
00:18:31,584 --> 00:18:33,078
...and man under
your command.
191
00:18:34,464 --> 00:18:38,761
Major, there's no law
says you can't drink.
192
00:18:40,431 --> 00:18:43,600
But if I find you drunk
on duty...
193
00:18:43,813 --> 00:18:45,688
...once...
194
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:48,773
...that long line
of officers'...
195
00:18:48,904 --> 00:18:52,110
...is gonna end right here...
196
00:18:55,708 --> 00:18:58,199
...with you Major.
197
00:19:26,008 --> 00:19:28,631
You like it as much as I do,
Benteen?
198
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,975
Troops ready, sir.
199
00:19:39,697 --> 00:19:42,107
- Good mornin', Major.
- Good mornin', sir
200
00:19:42,493 --> 00:19:44,654
My orders were for a full troop
with mounts.
201
00:19:44,788 --> 00:19:47,744
Yes sir. The rest of the men
fell out for sick call, sir.
202
00:19:48,003 --> 00:19:49,961
Get down, will you Major?
203
00:19:50,507 --> 00:19:51,836
Yes, sir.
204
00:20:06,534 --> 00:20:07,909
Good morning, Doctor.
205
00:20:08,370 --> 00:20:10,245
Got an epidemic here,
have ya?
206
00:20:10,373 --> 00:20:12,118
Malingerers,
every one of them, sir.
207
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:14,459
Do you mind if I have a word
with your patients...
208
00:20:14,589 --> 00:20:17,342
...if they're not too sick?
- They're as healthy as mules.
209
00:20:17,719 --> 00:20:19,000
Thank you, Surgeon.
210
00:20:19,639 --> 00:20:22,048
- I want the cook.
- Yes, sir.
211
00:20:24,605 --> 00:20:27,478
Now then, soldier.
What's your ailment?
212
00:20:27,610 --> 00:20:31,398
Breathing, sir, it comes hard,
my lungs, sir.
213
00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:37,665
You don't look too sick to me,
Corporal.
214
00:20:37,878 --> 00:20:39,207
In here, sir.
215
00:20:39,338 --> 00:20:41,166
Inside and rotting away.
216
00:20:44,305 --> 00:20:46,714
I hear you've been
in the Army a long time...
217
00:20:46,851 --> 00:20:49,141
Sergeant Buckley,
15 years, sir.
218
00:20:49,355 --> 00:20:51,479
This illness, come over you
sudden like?
219
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,859
- Yes, sir.
- Must be catching, eh?
220
00:20:53,988 --> 00:20:55,983
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
221
00:20:59,539 --> 00:21:02,660
All right, Cook, any of the men
skip breakfast?
222
00:21:02,836 --> 00:21:05,163
- None did.
- Did they have a good meal?
223
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:07,798
Yes, they did.
Little onions.
224
00:21:08,095 --> 00:21:09,969
- Little onions.
- Pasty.
225
00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:11,385
- Pasty.
- Bistec.
226
00:21:11,517 --> 00:21:12,763
- Bistec.
- Fried potatoes.
227
00:21:13,019 --> 00:21:14,645
- Fried potatoes!
- Biscuits.
228
00:21:14,814 --> 00:21:16,724
- Biscuits!
- Pie and coffee.
229
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:18,059
Pie and coffee!
230
00:21:18,195 --> 00:21:20,235
All right. Thank you, Colonel.
231
00:21:20,449 --> 00:21:22,074
Doctor...
232
00:21:23,787 --> 00:21:25,662
...this epidemic, you think it
has something to do...
233
00:21:25,791 --> 00:21:27,666
...with my orders to pull out
against the Cheyene?
234
00:21:27,795 --> 00:21:31,213
General,
this epidemic is gonna last...
235
00:21:31,342 --> 00:21:33,501
...as long as your orders stand.
236
00:21:33,637 --> 00:21:35,928
These men need the right
treatment, of course.
237
00:21:36,183 --> 00:21:38,426
What would you prescribe,
a little mild exercise?
238
00:21:38,896 --> 00:21:41,568
Might be just the thing.
I will try it.
239
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:43,063
With your permission.
240
00:21:44,281 --> 00:21:45,656
Major, I want all men
out here...
241
00:21:45,782 --> 00:21:47,991
...in 10 minutes,
gear and full packs.
242
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,908
- Yes, sir.
- That goes for officers too.
243
00:21:51,250 --> 00:21:53,243
Yes, sir.
You heard what the man said.
244
00:21:53,755 --> 00:21:56,425
"On the parade ground,
in full field gear...
245
00:21:56,550 --> 00:22:00,468
...in 10 minutes".
Come on!
246
00:22:00,641 --> 00:22:01,839
Move!
247
00:22:04,772 --> 00:22:05,852
Double quick.
248
00:22:06,109 --> 00:22:07,568
Double quick!
249
00:22:59,071 --> 00:23:00,187
Major!
250
00:23:04,915 --> 00:23:06,291
Keep the pace, Sergeant.
251
00:23:06,417 --> 00:23:08,577
Hup, two, three.
252
00:23:09,422 --> 00:23:11,250
Hup, two, three, four.
253
00:23:11,675 --> 00:23:13,468
March! March!
254
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:16,801
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
255
00:23:17,102 --> 00:23:18,560
March!
256
00:24:15,073 --> 00:24:16,236
Major!
257
00:26:30,925 --> 00:26:32,634
All Halt!
258
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:45,654
Troop, attention!
259
00:26:54,756 --> 00:26:56,915
Right shoulder, arms!
260
00:27:05,732 --> 00:27:07,441
Present arms!
261
00:27:14,372 --> 00:27:16,532
Hold up!
262
00:28:31,125 --> 00:28:33,582
All right, soldier.
263
00:28:35,424 --> 00:28:37,714
Dis-missed!
264
00:28:57,836 --> 00:28:59,331
Lieutenant, Cheyenne!
265
00:29:04,138 --> 00:29:06,347
What the hell are they doing
off the reservation, sir?
266
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,725
I don't know, but we're going
to take them right back.
267
00:29:28,763 --> 00:29:30,970
Pull back!
Pull back!
268
00:29:32,269 --> 00:29:33,052
There are too many of them.
269
00:30:49,815 --> 00:30:51,392
- Sergeant Gaskin.
- Yes, sir?
270
00:30:51,526 --> 00:30:54,564
We'll split the columns,
take the wagons up the trail.
271
00:30:54,698 --> 00:30:56,027
Yes, sir.
272
00:31:00,498 --> 00:31:03,835
We'll go the hard way.
273
00:31:32,971 --> 00:31:35,048
We're headed straight
into the desert, sir.
274
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:39,554
Hard going, dragging guns and
wagons through that sand.
275
00:31:39,689 --> 00:31:41,934
Harder on the men,
worse on the horses.
276
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:45,487
We've got to find us some.
277
00:31:46,117 --> 00:31:47,945
They killed two of our men.
278
00:31:48,412 --> 00:31:49,576
Right.
279
00:31:49,706 --> 00:31:53,077
We'll lose a lot more than two
men if we go chasing them.
280
00:31:55,173 --> 00:31:58,379
Now listen, there are
35 Indians out there.
281
00:31:58,513 --> 00:32:01,005
If we lose, every Cheyenne
of the reservation...
282
00:32:01,142 --> 00:32:03,183
...will figures he can get away
with it, too.
283
00:32:03,396 --> 00:32:05,521
Six months from now,
we'll be chasing...
284
00:32:05,649 --> 00:32:07,229
...4,000 of them.
285
00:32:08,988 --> 00:32:11,279
That's gonna be much worse
on the men...
286
00:32:11,409 --> 00:32:14,163
...and a lot harder
on the horses, so...
287
00:32:14,289 --> 00:32:16,330
...give the order, Lieutenant.
- Yes, sir.
288
00:32:18,713 --> 00:32:19,911
Let's move 'em out!
289
00:34:06,935 --> 00:34:08,395
Come on, let's get going.
290
00:34:08,855 --> 00:34:10,018
Come on!
291
00:34:17,453 --> 00:34:19,577
We can't move it any further.
292
00:34:20,207 --> 00:34:22,450
Take it apart!
Put it on runners.
293
00:34:22,628 --> 00:34:23,743
Yes, sir!
294
00:34:24,506 --> 00:34:26,049
Break out the tools.
295
00:35:22,811 --> 00:35:24,355
- Water.
- No, no, no!
296
00:35:24,481 --> 00:35:27,520
Give us some water,
water.
297
00:35:27,695 --> 00:35:28,811
- I can't...
- General's orders.
298
00:35:39,339 --> 00:35:40,834
What are you doing?
Get away!
299
00:35:41,802 --> 00:35:43,463
Get away!
300
00:35:47,144 --> 00:35:49,518
Sir, the sun's got him.
301
00:36:09,515 --> 00:36:10,761
Get up, soldier.
302
00:36:20,992 --> 00:36:23,402
The sun will be down
in an hour.
303
00:36:24,039 --> 00:36:25,867
We'll all have a drink.
304
00:36:28,379 --> 00:36:29,957
Come on, boy.
305
00:37:41,919 --> 00:37:43,329
Out of range.
306
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,000
- Sergeant Gaskins?
- Sir.
307
00:37:47,844 --> 00:37:50,718
Sound out all the ranks,
bring up the cannon.
308
00:37:51,309 --> 00:37:52,555
Yes, sir!
309
00:38:07,044 --> 00:38:08,076
Fire!
310
00:38:20,525 --> 00:38:21,640
Fire!
311
00:38:57,628 --> 00:39:00,251
All right, Sergeant,
move them out.
312
00:39:00,384 --> 00:39:02,258
Yes, sir.
Move out!
313
00:39:36,317 --> 00:39:38,442
- ¡Buckley!
- Sir?
314
00:39:38,697 --> 00:39:40,026
Get a rifle.
315
00:39:44,206 --> 00:39:46,165
Shoot over their heads.
316
00:40:06,075 --> 00:40:07,274
All right.
317
00:40:07,746 --> 00:40:09,157
Knock one down.
318
00:40:24,523 --> 00:40:26,398
Give them another warning.
319
00:40:36,794 --> 00:40:38,205
Knock one down.
320
00:40:45,850 --> 00:40:48,770
- Let me get him, sir.
- All right.
321
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:00,785
Wait a minute!
322
00:41:01,418 --> 00:41:03,044
Wait a minute!
323
00:41:10,976 --> 00:41:13,385
They think the chief
turns into a bird.
324
00:41:20,575 --> 00:41:22,652
Shoot the bird down,
Sergeant.
325
00:41:25,124 --> 00:41:26,536
Shoot it down!
326
00:42:01,643 --> 00:42:04,646
- Take care of the prisoners.
- Yes, sir. Come on.
327
00:42:13,162 --> 00:42:15,287
How 'bout that Indian up there,
sir?
328
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,458
Just shot him down,
Sergeant.
329
00:42:18,964 --> 00:42:22,549
Don't you believe a man
can turn into a bird?
330
00:42:40,334 --> 00:42:43,953
Look at them, sir,
they can't fight.
331
00:42:44,423 --> 00:42:46,168
We took the whole Cheyenne
nation...
332
00:42:46,301 --> 00:42:48,211
...with 265 men.
333
00:42:48,722 --> 00:42:51,475
Pizarro conquered Peru
with 167.
334
00:47:06,569 --> 00:47:08,278
I've come a long way to tell you
men personally...
335
00:47:08,405 --> 00:47:11,361
...that I'm damn well fed up
with these Cheyenne raids.
336
00:47:11,535 --> 00:47:14,906
The whole Army's fed up,
Washington's fed up!
337
00:47:15,416 --> 00:47:19,203
Give me a break, scalping,
burning, butchering...
338
00:47:19,548 --> 00:47:21,459
It's our job t put a stop
to all it!
339
00:47:21,593 --> 00:47:23,635
Put a stop to it now.
340
00:47:25,935 --> 00:47:27,763
If there's any doubt
about the policy...
341
00:47:27,895 --> 00:47:30,104
...of my command, I'll give it
to you in one sentence:
342
00:47:30,775 --> 00:47:33,185
The only good Indian
is a dead Indian.
343
00:47:33,405 --> 00:47:34,651
You know?
344
00:47:34,991 --> 00:47:37,400
Very good, General,
very well put, sir.
345
00:47:43,172 --> 00:47:45,581
You don't look too happy,
Captain, don't you approve?
346
00:47:46,009 --> 00:47:47,670
I'm afraid I don't, sir.
347
00:47:48,055 --> 00:47:50,380
Steal their land
and break our treaties...
348
00:47:50,517 --> 00:47:52,760
...we have no excuse
to murder them, too.
349
00:47:53,397 --> 00:47:55,189
Another bleeding heart.
350
00:47:55,483 --> 00:47:57,312
The country's full
of bleeding hearts.
351
00:47:57,445 --> 00:47:58,525
Now we even have them
in the army!
352
00:47:59,699 --> 00:48:01,194
Coffee, gentlemen?
353
00:48:03,873 --> 00:48:05,284
Just for two.
354
00:48:06,627 --> 00:48:08,288
That's all for now.
355
00:48:14,014 --> 00:48:16,139
I don't suppose you have
any whiskey?
356
00:48:16,352 --> 00:48:17,811
No, I'm afraid not.
357
00:48:18,647 --> 00:48:20,190
I know you don't drink it...
358
00:48:21,736 --> 00:48:23,528
...but you might keep it
around for those that do.
359
00:48:23,655 --> 00:48:25,899
I'll save some for you
from the store.
360
00:48:27,287 --> 00:48:28,485
Thank you.
361
00:48:28,998 --> 00:48:30,741
Will there be anything else?
362
00:48:30,918 --> 00:48:34,205
Yes, you might tell me that
you're pleased to see me.
363
00:48:34,465 --> 00:48:38,086
Your husband's wouldn't be
a hero if it weren't for me.
364
00:48:38,554 --> 00:48:40,715
Artie and I are grateful,
General...
365
00:48:40,850 --> 00:48:42,050
...you know that well.
366
00:48:43,814 --> 00:48:47,102
I'll skip the whiskey,
it's bad for the liver anyway.
367
00:48:47,403 --> 00:48:50,442
- How's your liver, George?
- Fine, General.
368
00:48:51,201 --> 00:48:53,955
Stay healthy,
your country needs you.
369
00:48:56,794 --> 00:48:58,669
You're a lucky girl.
370
00:48:59,340 --> 00:49:01,049
Yes, I know I am, General.
371
00:49:02,345 --> 00:49:03,544
Thank you.
372
00:49:06,811 --> 00:49:09,184
You two must have a lot
to talk about.
373
00:49:09,649 --> 00:49:11,060
Excuse me.
374
00:49:13,864 --> 00:49:16,024
Now, sit down,
listen to me.
375
00:49:19,207 --> 00:49:20,666
There's an election coming up.
376
00:49:20,793 --> 00:49:23,914
The administration needs a
victory. I promised them one.
377
00:49:24,340 --> 00:49:26,548
Wrong time for a victory.
378
00:49:26,678 --> 00:49:28,802
Got to cross too many rivers,
you know that.
379
00:49:29,139 --> 00:49:31,597
I just told you it's
the right time, George.
380
00:49:31,727 --> 00:49:33,306
Election time.
381
00:49:34,356 --> 00:49:37,063
It so happens the Cheyenne
have approved to the treatry.
382
00:49:37,654 --> 00:49:39,447
Left the reservation.
383
00:49:40,074 --> 00:49:41,867
Last month we had orders
to give the Cheyenne...
384
00:49:41,994 --> 00:49:43,655
...rifles so they could
go hunting, now you're...
385
00:49:43,789 --> 00:49:46,746
...telling me to kill them,
because they've gone hunting.
386
00:49:53,681 --> 00:49:55,555
I read in all
the Eastern newspapers...
387
00:49:55,685 --> 00:49:57,843
...that your General Custer
is a great Indian fighter.
388
00:49:58,439 --> 00:50:00,479
I'm told you have the best
cavalry regiment...
389
00:50:00,608 --> 00:50:02,768
...in the United States Army.
And I'm telling you...
390
00:50:02,904 --> 00:50:04,233
...go out and fight them.
391
00:50:04,365 --> 00:50:07,617
You tell me how to surround
10 injuns with one soldier.
392
00:50:08,663 --> 00:50:11,203
No one knows your war record
better than I.
393
00:50:12,629 --> 00:50:14,955
I'm betting on Custer's luck.
394
00:50:15,967 --> 00:50:19,837
General, there's
4,000 Cheyenne...
395
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:24,272
...in the villages and the
washes, I've got 400 soldiers.
396
00:50:26,318 --> 00:50:30,236
George, how am I to know that?
I can't crawl back.
397
00:50:31,911 --> 00:50:33,536
I think you owe me this one.
398
00:51:29,507 --> 00:51:31,751
Take a dispatch
to General Sheridan.
399
00:51:34,098 --> 00:51:36,091
"Despite overwhelming odds...
400
00:51:36,227 --> 00:51:38,304
...a great victory was won
here today.
401
00:51:39,941 --> 00:51:43,063
Factors contributing
to our success were:
402
00:51:43,196 --> 00:51:44,526
First...
403
00:51:45,617 --> 00:51:47,658
...the Indians
were asleep.
404
00:51:48,663 --> 00:51:49,993
Second...
405
00:51:50,918 --> 00:51:54,206
...the women and children
offered little resistance.
406
00:51:55,008 --> 00:51:56,384
Third...
407
00:51:56,803 --> 00:51:58,677
...lndians have been winded...
408
00:51:58,806 --> 00:52:00,847
...by our change in policy".
409
00:53:22,029 --> 00:53:23,404
P.S.
410
00:53:25,951 --> 00:53:27,992
Should you require
any further contributions...
411
00:53:28,163 --> 00:53:29,624
...towards your election
campaign...
412
00:53:29,749 --> 00:53:32,787
...be so good
as to let me know.
413
00:53:36,511 --> 00:53:40,724
Your obedient servant.
George".
414
00:55:03,531 --> 00:55:05,774
- Where were these people?
- They're trappers and miners.
415
00:55:05,910 --> 00:55:08,034
We caught them crossing
into Cheyenne territory.
416
00:55:08,205 --> 00:55:11,042
There's a gold strike
on the reservation, sir.
417
00:55:13,379 --> 00:55:14,579
Come on.
418
00:55:28,781 --> 00:55:30,574
How long has this rabble
been here?
419
00:55:30,701 --> 00:55:33,028
Four days, sir. And
we can't keep them here, sir.
420
00:55:33,122 --> 00:55:34,665
With your permission, sir,
I'd like to march...
421
00:55:34,749 --> 00:55:36,790
...them back to the railroad
and ship them back east.
422
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,581
Gold, Captain, gold.
423
00:55:39,006 --> 00:55:42,045
Send them men away and they'll
just bring back a thousand more.
424
00:55:42,178 --> 00:55:44,505
We've pushed the Cheyenne's
out of half their territory...
425
00:55:44,641 --> 00:55:47,394
...we can't let these people
take the rest of it!
426
00:55:49,649 --> 00:55:50,930
Come in, gentlemen.
427
00:55:58,831 --> 00:56:03,377
I've to give you this letter,
it's from General Sheridan.
428
00:56:03,589 --> 00:56:05,168
Thank you, dear.
429
00:56:08,138 --> 00:56:11,058
Sorry to keep you waiting,
gentlemen. Excuse me.
430
00:56:13,355 --> 00:56:14,387
All right.
431
00:56:14,649 --> 00:56:16,275
Go ahead, Captain, tell him.
432
00:56:16,861 --> 00:56:17,976
Tell me what?
433
00:56:19,449 --> 00:56:21,490
I brought somebody to see you,
sir.
434
00:56:21,869 --> 00:56:24,113
- Who?
- A Cheyenne.
435
00:56:26,043 --> 00:56:27,504
He's here?
436
00:56:28,464 --> 00:56:30,754
- Yes, in the other room.
- Make him any promise?
437
00:56:31,510 --> 00:56:33,303
I only promised him
that you'd see him.
438
00:56:35,183 --> 00:56:36,560
Speak our language?
439
00:56:36,894 --> 00:56:40,182
Been to Washington twice,
he's negotiated two treaties.
440
00:56:40,651 --> 00:56:42,645
Both of which we broke.
441
00:57:04,274 --> 00:57:06,730
I'm George Armstrong Custer.
442
00:57:07,738 --> 00:57:10,360
Office of the
United States Army.
443
00:57:11,912 --> 00:57:14,664
The Captain tells me that
you understand our language.
444
00:57:15,125 --> 00:57:16,323
Is that so?
445
00:57:18,463 --> 00:57:19,662
Good.
446
00:57:20,425 --> 00:57:24,377
Because I want to understand me
very clearly.
447
00:57:27,353 --> 00:57:29,811
I know the only reason
you come here...
448
00:57:29,941 --> 00:57:31,484
...is to threaten me.
449
00:57:32,236 --> 00:57:34,314
If I don't promise to keep
the miners out of...
450
00:57:34,449 --> 00:57:37,368
...the Indian territory, you're
going to start killing them.
451
00:57:38,372 --> 00:57:39,654
Isn't that true?
452
00:57:42,797 --> 00:57:45,253
Am I speaking too fast for you?
453
00:57:45,884 --> 00:57:47,379
I understand you.
454
00:58:07,045 --> 00:58:10,214
I hope I can make it
plain to you that...
455
00:58:10,967 --> 00:58:13,721
...I won't bargain with you
about the miners.
456
00:58:14,391 --> 00:58:15,803
I will not be blackmailed...
457
00:58:15,935 --> 00:58:17,514
...into making empty promises.
458
00:58:17,646 --> 00:58:20,268
I am not in a position
to make any promises.
459
00:58:22,404 --> 00:58:26,191
Whatever I decide to do, I'll
do it because it is right...
460
00:58:26,578 --> 00:58:28,702
...according to my way.
461
00:58:29,332 --> 00:58:30,744
Right!
462
00:58:31,961 --> 00:58:33,920
I know you've got human rights.
463
00:58:34,382 --> 00:58:37,421
Treaty rights, moral rights.
464
00:58:38,973 --> 00:58:41,263
And if ever I should forget
any of them...
465
00:58:41,978 --> 00:58:44,471
...there's always
Captain Benteen...
466
00:58:44,607 --> 00:58:46,684
...to remind me of them.
467
00:58:47,821 --> 00:58:51,407
But I am not a politician,
not a martyr, not a creature.
468
00:58:53,873 --> 00:58:56,032
When I say moral-less,,
I mean...
469
00:58:56,753 --> 00:58:59,080
...l'm not the best of all men.
470
00:59:01,134 --> 00:59:02,678
I'm a soldier.
471
00:59:04,349 --> 00:59:06,343
The only rights
that concern me...
472
00:59:06,477 --> 00:59:07,807
...are the rights
of my soldiers.
473
00:59:07,938 --> 00:59:09,433
The only duty of concerns me...
474
00:59:09,566 --> 00:59:11,394
...is the duty of my command.
475
00:59:15,075 --> 00:59:17,235
I'll make it very simple
for you.
476
00:59:18,623 --> 00:59:20,664
The fact that we seem to be
pushing you clear...
477
00:59:20,793 --> 00:59:23,464
...off the earth,
is not my responsibility
478
00:59:23,798 --> 00:59:26,040
The problem is precisely
the same...
479
00:59:26,177 --> 00:59:27,886
...as when Cheyenne
decide to take...
480
00:59:28,013 --> 00:59:30,173
...another tribe's hunting
ground...
481
00:59:30,309 --> 00:59:32,386
...you didn't ask them
about their rights.
482
00:59:32,521 --> 00:59:35,144
You didn't care if they had been
there a thousand years.
483
00:59:35,860 --> 00:59:37,485
You just took more men
and more horses...
484
00:59:37,614 --> 00:59:40,818
...and destroyed them in battle,
you took what you wanted.
485
00:59:42,663 --> 00:59:46,164
And right or wrong,
for better or worse...
486
00:59:47,546 --> 00:59:50,881
...that is the way things
seem to get done.
487
00:59:51,552 --> 00:59:56,301
That's history.
I'm talking about history.
488
00:59:59,107 --> 01:00:03,689
You are a militarily defeated
people.
489
01:00:05,659 --> 01:00:09,660
You're paying the price
for being backward.
490
01:00:11,086 --> 01:00:14,254
And whatever my personal
feelings...
491
01:00:16,218 --> 01:00:18,426
...I haven't said any...
492
01:00:19,891 --> 01:00:23,262
...there's nothing I can do
to change all this.
493
01:00:25,609 --> 01:00:26,809
Do you understand me?
494
01:00:29,490 --> 01:00:30,950
I understand.
495
01:00:33,539 --> 01:00:34,619
Captain.
496
01:00:56,828 --> 01:00:57,908
Major...
497
01:00:58,706 --> 01:01:01,198
...see what's going on out
there. Try and shut them up.
498
01:01:01,336 --> 01:01:02,450
Yes, sir.
499
01:01:13,732 --> 01:01:15,441
Let me in.
Go away!
500
01:01:15,609 --> 01:01:17,484
Put that man in jail.
501
01:01:20,451 --> 01:01:21,650
What's going on here, Sergeant?
502
01:01:21,786 --> 01:01:24,873
- We're going to have trouble.
- What are these men doing?
503
01:01:27,755 --> 01:01:29,998
We're digging for gold, sir.
504
01:01:30,635 --> 01:01:32,544
This is government property,
Mister.
505
01:01:32,721 --> 01:01:36,223
Save your breath, we ain't
stopping until you let us out.
506
01:01:39,149 --> 01:01:40,894
This is a parade ground...
507
01:01:41,068 --> 01:01:42,777
We're gonna keep digging
until...
508
01:01:42,904 --> 01:01:45,992
...there's no fort left,
just one big hole.
509
01:01:46,578 --> 01:01:48,322
Take that pick away from him.
510
01:01:51,878 --> 01:01:54,251
Put those picks down!
Put them down!
511
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,137
Look these men up, Sergeant.
512
01:02:02,271 --> 01:02:03,980
Put them in the guardhouse.
513
01:02:21,552 --> 01:02:25,386
- Did he say anything to you?
- No sir, not a word.
514
01:02:47,888 --> 01:02:49,929
Present sabres!
515
01:02:59,449 --> 01:03:01,490
Sir, the second platoon's gone.
516
01:03:01,786 --> 01:03:02,950
Deserted!
517
01:03:04,666 --> 01:03:07,872
- Mulligan's platoon?
- They went after gold, sir.
518
01:03:08,214 --> 01:03:09,839
Mulligan started it.
519
01:03:16,853 --> 01:03:18,099
Major!
520
01:03:18,648 --> 01:03:20,857
Get that mob out of here!
521
01:03:21,611 --> 01:03:23,689
Where, General?
522
01:03:26,578 --> 01:03:28,655
I don't care, Benteen.
523
01:03:29,541 --> 01:03:32,710
Open the gate!
Let them out!
524
01:03:32,921 --> 01:03:36,293
You're letting them go into
Cheyenne territory?
525
01:03:36,719 --> 01:03:39,841
- You know that, don't you?
- I know that, Benteen.
526
01:03:39,975 --> 01:03:41,554
I know that.
527
01:03:42,729 --> 01:03:45,436
- Get them out!
- Yes, sir.
528
01:03:48,823 --> 01:03:50,569
Open the gates!
529
01:04:02,596 --> 01:04:03,973
Benteen.
530
01:04:05,977 --> 01:04:08,267
Bring Mulligan back here.
531
01:04:11,653 --> 01:04:12,401
Yes, sir.
532
01:04:31,310 --> 01:04:35,607
Was it an important letter,
the one from General Sheridan?
533
01:04:44,541 --> 01:04:46,000
"Unofficially the president
thinks that...
534
01:04:46,086 --> 01:04:49,254
...the discovery of gold in
the Dakotas is wonderful news.
535
01:04:51,761 --> 01:04:54,171
Best interest of the country...
536
01:04:54,391 --> 01:04:57,098
...expects you to use
your best judgement".
537
01:04:58,690 --> 01:05:00,730
You did what you had to.
538
01:05:02,237 --> 01:05:03,401
Yeah.
539
01:05:04,073 --> 01:05:06,282
I used my best judgment.
540
01:05:58,999 --> 01:06:00,162
Captain!
541
01:06:03,715 --> 01:06:06,503
Yellow as butter. Did you ever
see the light, Captain?
542
01:06:06,636 --> 01:06:08,676
You're under arrest,
Mulligan.
543
01:06:08,807 --> 01:06:10,302
Crister Mulligan's the name
now, sir...
544
01:06:10,433 --> 01:06:12,227
...happy to see you
this fine morning.
545
01:06:12,354 --> 01:06:14,099
Come off it, Paddy.
546
01:06:14,650 --> 01:06:16,976
I'm taking you back
for desertion.
547
01:06:17,571 --> 01:06:18,770
Desertion?
548
01:06:20,910 --> 01:06:23,070
If it's men you need,
Captain...
549
01:06:23,832 --> 01:06:27,963
...l'll buy you one in my place.
Five, fifty.
550
01:06:28,590 --> 01:06:30,999
I'll buy you
the whole regiment...
551
01:06:31,428 --> 01:06:34,680
...and every man in it'll
be named Paddy Mulligan.
552
01:06:36,060 --> 01:06:38,138
Where are the others,
Mulligan?
553
01:06:39,232 --> 01:06:41,606
The trouble started no sooner
we were out the gate.
554
01:06:41,736 --> 01:06:44,027
Some wanted to go north
some wanted to go south.
555
01:06:45,242 --> 01:06:46,441
I should've know...
556
01:06:46,578 --> 01:06:49,117
...I couldn't get them to stick
to hard work.
557
01:06:51,086 --> 01:06:53,163
For that matter,
neither could I.
558
01:06:54,716 --> 01:06:57,174
I just wanted
to take off my Army boots...
559
01:06:57,763 --> 01:07:01,598
...and gold mine in the clear
waters of that stream.
560
01:07:01,978 --> 01:07:05,231
And that's how I found the gold.
Not leaving it
561
01:07:07,404 --> 01:07:09,612
There's enough here
for both of us, Captain.
562
01:07:13,456 --> 01:07:16,162
Think of all the good things
a decent man like you...
563
01:07:16,294 --> 01:07:17,955
...could do with it?
564
01:07:26,937 --> 01:07:28,182
Oh, well.
565
01:07:29,190 --> 01:07:31,150
Back it goes.
566
01:07:31,611 --> 01:07:34,733
Sooner or later some other
lucky man will find it.
567
01:07:35,701 --> 01:07:36,781
Well...
568
01:07:38,499 --> 01:07:39,529
I... now...
569
01:07:39,666 --> 01:07:41,826
...I guess I better
put on my boots, huh?
570
01:07:57,864 --> 01:07:59,692
I'll do you no harm,
Captain.
571
01:08:00,326 --> 01:08:03,494
You can have your gun back,
just let me go.
572
01:08:04,708 --> 01:08:06,334
All I ask is your word.
573
01:08:27,996 --> 01:08:29,279
Desertion?
574
01:08:31,419 --> 01:08:33,793
I suppose that's serious
business.
575
01:09:16,244 --> 01:09:17,870
At ease, Sergeant.
576
01:09:22,213 --> 01:09:24,884
I was hoping you'd come
to see me.
577
01:09:25,885 --> 01:09:28,176
Chaplain tells me you got
new evidence.
578
01:09:28,306 --> 01:09:29,385
Of course.
579
01:09:30,643 --> 01:09:32,352
I don't know...
580
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:34,770
...how to put it
into words.
581
01:09:35,652 --> 01:09:37,561
Put it in your own words then.
582
01:09:39,950 --> 01:09:42,526
Well, it's so hard.
583
01:09:43,164 --> 01:09:45,242
I don't know where to begin.
584
01:09:45,919 --> 01:09:48,542
Come on.
Take your time, sit down.
585
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,122
Thank you, sir.
586
01:10:01,695 --> 01:10:03,819
They asked me what I want,
"anything...
587
01:10:04,408 --> 01:10:06,865
...you like, considering
it's your last request"...
588
01:10:06,995 --> 01:10:08,372
...as a Sergeant.
589
01:10:09,917 --> 01:10:11,116
Then I'll have strawberries.
590
01:10:12,505 --> 01:10:14,997
And if they are not mature,
I'll wait.
591
01:10:18,306 --> 01:10:20,763
You can get them,
I told him I would like them.
592
01:10:21,394 --> 01:10:22,806
Go on.
593
01:10:24,650 --> 01:10:26,940
I hope you're not in a hurry,
sir.
594
01:10:27,947 --> 01:10:31,283
If there's any man with
his eye on the clock, it's me.
595
01:10:32,788 --> 01:10:34,284
Where was I?
596
01:10:35,085 --> 01:10:36,709
New evidence.
597
01:10:37,171 --> 01:10:39,165
Yes, new evidence.
598
01:10:44,559 --> 01:10:46,268
I'll give you a drink.
599
01:10:54,408 --> 01:10:57,079
- Thank you, sir.
- All right, sit down.
600
01:11:06,971 --> 01:11:09,049
I was talking about
strawberries.
601
01:11:09,224 --> 01:11:11,467
Do you like strawberries,
General?
602
01:11:12,146 --> 01:11:13,641
I'm listening.
603
01:11:13,940 --> 01:11:15,520
Lovely fruit.
604
01:11:15,943 --> 01:11:17,439
Once when I was still
a schoolboy...
605
01:11:17,529 --> 01:11:19,156
...a teacher asked me
to show her...
606
01:11:19,282 --> 01:11:21,442
...where the strawberries grew.
607
01:11:21,995 --> 01:11:23,954
I was happy to oblige.
608
01:11:24,583 --> 01:11:26,209
Her being a pretty thing...
609
01:11:26,337 --> 01:11:28,128
...and not much older
than myself.
610
01:11:28,339 --> 01:11:30,215
Berry picking we went.
611
01:11:31,135 --> 01:11:32,796
It was a beautiful day,
the berries...
612
01:11:33,682 --> 01:11:37,053
...were standing against
green lights of the hills...
613
01:11:37,771 --> 01:11:39,682
...and afterwards she said:
614
01:11:39,942 --> 01:11:43,313
"Mulligan, you giving them
all to me?"
615
01:11:43,908 --> 01:11:46,234
And I looked in her basket
and it was true.
616
01:11:46,454 --> 01:11:47,829
How strange.
617
01:11:48,831 --> 01:11:52,334
And then I understood,
I was in love.
618
01:11:53,005 --> 01:11:54,751
It was the first time.
619
01:11:56,887 --> 01:11:58,382
Sergeant...
620
01:11:59,225 --> 01:12:02,228
...if its company you want,
I'll send the Chaplain.
621
01:12:03,816 --> 01:12:05,975
Come morning,
you'll be taking up...
622
01:12:06,111 --> 01:12:08,270
...a few minutes of my time,
sir.
623
01:12:18,799 --> 01:12:22,549
- We must go to the matter.
- Yes, sir, you're right.
624
01:12:25,434 --> 01:12:29,518
Sergeant, your appeal
has been appealed and denied.
625
01:12:29,650 --> 01:12:32,986
Now you have got to present me
with new facts.
626
01:12:33,781 --> 01:12:36,619
Facts! That's right.
627
01:12:37,245 --> 01:12:38,362
Facts!
628
01:12:39,500 --> 01:12:42,538
That's what the men all admire
about you, General.
629
01:12:42,713 --> 01:12:45,800
You always know
all the facts.
630
01:12:46,679 --> 01:12:48,756
You talking off the point.
631
01:12:49,183 --> 01:12:51,092
I'm talking for my life,
General.
632
01:12:51,228 --> 01:12:52,854
You haven't said a single word
I could get...
633
01:12:52,981 --> 01:12:54,939
...to court as new evidence.
634
01:12:55,151 --> 01:12:56,812
And nothing that wouldn't
let me think...
635
01:12:56,946 --> 01:12:59,189
...that you wouldn't desert
all over again.
636
01:12:59,325 --> 01:13:01,817
Rules! Porters!
637
01:13:02,455 --> 01:13:04,033
Court-martial!
638
01:13:04,876 --> 01:13:07,665
I'm talking about the juice
in a man's veins.
639
01:13:08,089 --> 01:13:10,760
I'm talking about all the
good times you never had.
640
01:13:11,260 --> 01:13:13,136
Off the point, you say?
641
01:13:13,306 --> 01:13:15,347
The drinking, girls.
642
01:13:15,685 --> 01:13:17,845
Smoking cigars,
chasing rainbows...
643
01:13:18,064 --> 01:13:19,558
That's the point.
644
01:13:20,901 --> 01:13:23,229
You've got no feeling,
General.
645
01:13:23,365 --> 01:13:26,071
There's just an empty place
inside.
646
01:13:26,328 --> 01:13:28,868
A hole stuffed
with rubbish.
647
01:13:29,416 --> 01:13:33,119
The flag, the regiment
the duty.
648
01:13:36,552 --> 01:13:38,761
You listen to me, Mulligan.
649
01:13:40,643 --> 01:13:42,684
You don't think twice...
650
01:13:42,855 --> 01:13:46,309
...about the soldiers you had
behind you to do your job...
651
01:13:46,486 --> 01:13:49,655
...or maybe they get killed
doing it.
652
01:13:55,042 --> 01:13:57,749
All you ever wanted
was to strike it rich.
653
01:13:58,506 --> 01:14:01,842
It wasn't to get rich, I didn't
desert for the gold. It was...
654
01:14:03,390 --> 01:14:06,761
...for other reasons that's what
I've been trying to tell you.
655
01:14:08,148 --> 01:14:09,809
What is it about?
656
01:14:15,660 --> 01:14:17,072
I have to go now.
657
01:14:19,708 --> 01:14:21,168
Go on, General.
658
01:14:21,753 --> 01:14:23,628
Go home.
659
01:14:24,508 --> 01:14:26,418
Your wife is waiting for you.
660
01:14:27,471 --> 01:14:30,391
Sergeant, maybe you wanted
too much out of life.
661
01:14:30,601 --> 01:14:33,855
Maybe life doesn't
have too much to offer.
662
01:14:34,150 --> 01:14:35,430
Guard!
663
01:14:55,518 --> 01:14:58,189
- Tomorrow, sir?
- Daybreak.
664
01:15:51,611 --> 01:15:54,187
Attention!
665
01:15:56,161 --> 01:15:57,490
Ready!
666
01:16:02,464 --> 01:16:03,627
Aim!
667
01:16:18,699 --> 01:16:20,074
Fire!
668
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:42,945
Mrs. Custer,
I want to introduce...
669
01:16:43,072 --> 01:16:45,862
...to his lmperial highness,
the Grand Duke of Russia.
670
01:17:05,109 --> 01:17:07,150
You know that Duke's
a really nice guy.
671
01:17:07,572 --> 01:17:10,361
Too bad I never know what
the hell he's talking about.
672
01:17:10,577 --> 01:17:13,995
Why didn't you learn French,
the language of diplomacy?
673
01:17:14,417 --> 01:17:16,576
You trying to tell me,
I'm not diplomatic?
674
01:17:16,712 --> 01:17:18,255
What's he doing here?
675
01:17:18,548 --> 01:17:20,589
Well, you know we bought
Alaska from the Russians.
676
01:17:20,719 --> 01:17:22,879
So we're going to fight
the Eskimos?
677
01:17:23,014 --> 01:17:24,807
Now George, that's not fair.
678
01:17:32,322 --> 01:17:34,481
The first thing he did,
when he came...
679
01:17:34,617 --> 01:17:36,077
...to Washington was say...
680
01:17:36,204 --> 01:17:38,826
..."I want to meet Custer,
the Indian fighter".
681
01:17:39,084 --> 01:17:40,329
That's a fact.
682
01:17:41,295 --> 01:17:43,871
You're a big man among
the Russians.
683
01:17:44,383 --> 01:17:47,505
You have a lot of important
friends...
684
01:17:47,638 --> 01:17:50,807
...in Washington.
- Who?
685
01:17:53,941 --> 01:17:55,317
All right, me.
686
01:17:56,695 --> 01:17:58,606
What is the Duke doing here?
687
01:18:00,577 --> 01:18:02,867
Well, the Duke and
a lot of important people...
688
01:18:02,997 --> 01:18:05,075
...are looking into investing
into America's future.
689
01:18:05,418 --> 01:18:06,617
Like what?
690
01:18:07,421 --> 01:18:09,462
Trade, gold mine,
shipping.
691
01:18:10,927 --> 01:18:12,422
Railroads?
692
01:18:16,563 --> 01:18:19,351
It's a big country. You can't go
to one side...
693
01:18:19,568 --> 01:18:21,940
...to the other without
going through the middle.
694
01:18:22,071 --> 01:18:24,480
Yeah, the middle
is Indian territory.
695
01:18:25,410 --> 01:18:29,281
They've already had to put with
miners, trapper, soldiers.
696
01:18:29,875 --> 01:18:32,035
They're going to put up with
bombers making a big territory.
697
01:18:32,171 --> 01:18:35,376
It's a big territory but
not enough for everybody.
698
01:18:45,277 --> 01:18:47,685
All right, then something's
gotta give, doesn't it?
699
01:18:51,411 --> 01:18:54,581
You know, it's going to cost us
a helluva lot of soldiers.
700
01:19:02,137 --> 01:19:04,216
I'm just the messenger boy.
701
01:19:04,641 --> 01:19:06,849
I got the message,
now you got it.
702
01:19:11,153 --> 01:19:14,654
They tell me you're not supposed
to keep royalty waiting.
703
01:19:15,035 --> 01:19:16,744
Sit down, General.
704
01:19:33,898 --> 01:19:37,187
You said I got friends
in Washington.
705
01:19:38,741 --> 01:19:40,651
I got friends in New York,
Boston...
706
01:19:40,785 --> 01:19:43,325
...Philadelphia because
anything I write...
707
01:19:43,624 --> 01:19:45,417
...the newspapers will print.
708
01:19:45,543 --> 01:19:47,667
Are you going to write about me?
709
01:19:48,465 --> 01:19:49,841
They don't care.
710
01:19:50,803 --> 01:19:53,129
You're going to tell them
you don't have enough army.
711
01:19:53,515 --> 01:19:54,975
They don't care.
712
01:19:56,687 --> 01:20:00,022
Is there anything
you care about, Phil?
713
01:20:05,785 --> 01:20:08,160
I won't try to stop you.
If it'll help you...
714
01:20:08,415 --> 01:20:11,703
...sleep any better, go ahead
and attack the railroad...
715
01:20:11,837 --> 01:20:13,713
...blast the administration...
716
01:20:13,924 --> 01:20:16,333
...damn the Secretary of War.
717
01:20:16,929 --> 01:20:20,301
You think that's going to stop
the train from coming through?
718
01:20:28,866 --> 01:20:32,568
It's seems every time we get
together, we get into a fight.
719
01:20:32,914 --> 01:20:34,160
Phil...
720
01:20:35,544 --> 01:20:38,630
...how soon does the railroad
come through?
721
01:20:40,218 --> 01:20:41,547
It's here now.
722
01:20:43,014 --> 01:20:46,302
They're laying track along
the border of the trail.
723
01:20:52,071 --> 01:20:54,944
The only good Indian
is a dead Indian.
724
01:20:55,619 --> 01:20:58,076
The Army fed that stupid line
to everyone...
725
01:20:58,206 --> 01:21:00,034
...they sent west.
726
01:21:03,757 --> 01:21:05,418
You know something?
727
01:21:06,220 --> 01:21:08,297
The Indians are doing
the same thing I would do...
728
01:21:08,432 --> 01:21:12,515
...if I were in his place,
Fight to the bitter end.
729
01:21:26,295 --> 01:21:28,752
Timber!
730
01:22:25,102 --> 01:22:26,726
Timber!
731
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:53,560
- Do you see any hostiles?
- Nope.
732
01:22:56,696 --> 01:22:59,022
But they're here all right.
I can feel them.
733
01:23:09,634 --> 01:23:12,637
We're turning this nice Indian
ground into sawdust.
734
01:23:13,516 --> 01:23:15,842
Just to build
a lousy railroad.
735
01:23:16,019 --> 01:23:18,143
When this line gets
to San Francisco...
736
01:23:18,357 --> 01:23:20,896
...l'm going to take me a ride
and see the Pacific Ocean.
737
01:23:21,028 --> 01:23:23,984
You're never going to have
enough money to buy a ticket.
738
01:28:06,909 --> 01:28:09,781
Says here, they say they're
talking about appointing...
739
01:28:09,914 --> 01:28:11,824
...General Custer as Governor
of the Dakota territory.
740
01:28:11,959 --> 01:28:13,834
Can't read.
741
01:28:15,673 --> 01:28:17,798
Can't read son of a colonel?
742
01:28:21,349 --> 01:28:24,021
In my kind of business
a man don't need to read.
743
01:28:42,426 --> 01:28:45,963
Solid gold, my own gold mine.
744
01:28:46,935 --> 01:28:48,892
Chain too.
745
01:28:49,814 --> 01:28:51,190
Ring too.
746
01:28:53,278 --> 01:28:56,650
These days I don't like anything
but gold to touch my skin.
747
01:28:59,163 --> 01:29:01,536
Even here in my mouth.
748
01:29:03,002 --> 01:29:05,459
You know what?
749
01:29:05,965 --> 01:29:09,383
I sure like the taste of gold.
750
01:29:57,217 --> 01:29:59,343
You say it's an honor
for the Mayor to back...
751
01:29:59,514 --> 01:30:01,803
...Colonel Custer to become
the governor he gets my votes.
752
01:30:01,975 --> 01:30:04,184
He's the one who opened up
the territories.
753
01:30:04,397 --> 01:30:07,315
The gold territories.
Yes, he sure did.
754
01:30:17,293 --> 01:30:18,753
What's going on?
755
01:30:20,173 --> 01:30:22,581
General Custer
must protect us.
756
01:30:25,389 --> 01:30:26,589
Stay down!
757
01:30:26,767 --> 01:30:29,723
I can get the cart,
we can roll down.
758
01:30:33,403 --> 01:30:34,566
I'll cover you.
759
01:31:23,236 --> 01:31:24,399
We're going to crash!
760
01:32:16,700 --> 01:32:19,952
Appears these massacres are
all over the eastern papers.
761
01:32:21,167 --> 01:32:23,623
Flags are flying at half-mast.
762
01:32:23,795 --> 01:32:26,085
Residents declared
a day of mourning.
763
01:32:26,717 --> 01:32:28,212
Tell me General.
764
01:32:29,096 --> 01:32:31,767
Why did you choose
the Army as career?
765
01:32:34,062 --> 01:32:36,306
Telegram came from
the War Department.
766
01:32:36,441 --> 01:32:37,853
Shall I read it, sir?
767
01:32:38,904 --> 01:32:41,528
"To General
George Armstrong Custer.
768
01:32:42,285 --> 01:32:44,955
You are hereby relived
of command...
769
01:32:45,165 --> 01:32:47,871
...and suspended
from active duty.
770
01:32:49,129 --> 01:32:51,206
You are ordered to report
to Washington D. C...
771
01:32:51,342 --> 01:32:54,629
...within 30 days from
receipt of this telegram...
772
01:32:54,972 --> 01:32:57,215
...to appear before
a U.S. Congressional...
773
01:32:57,352 --> 01:33:00,889
...Committee investigating
conditions...
774
01:33:01,358 --> 01:33:04,361
...in the Indian territory".
Looks like Washington's...
775
01:33:04,531 --> 01:33:07,284
...looking for somebody
to blame for the massacre.
776
01:33:07,660 --> 01:33:09,155
Go on.
777
01:33:10,957 --> 01:33:13,367
"Marcus Reno will assume
command of this...
778
01:33:13,503 --> 01:33:16,079
...regiment immediately,
signed...
779
01:33:17,092 --> 01:33:20,299
...Philip Sheridan.
Commander".
780
01:33:23,813 --> 01:33:25,604
Stand up, Major.
781
01:33:29,656 --> 01:33:33,525
As the new officer in command,
do you have any changes in mind?
782
01:33:33,829 --> 01:33:37,698
- Yes.
- I made this command.
783
01:33:38,754 --> 01:33:40,463
I like it that way it is,
is that clear?
784
01:33:41,050 --> 01:33:42,330
Yes, sir.
785
01:33:43,011 --> 01:33:46,133
When this Washington
thing is over...
786
01:33:50,147 --> 01:33:51,524
...l'll be back.
787
01:33:51,943 --> 01:33:53,983
Make no mistake.
788
01:33:54,823 --> 01:33:55,937
I'll be back.
789
01:34:00,707 --> 01:34:04,079
Members of the Senate and
the House of Representatives.
790
01:34:05,923 --> 01:34:07,717
I have been listening
your debate...
791
01:34:07,844 --> 01:34:10,135
...about the Indian's problem
during nine days.
792
01:34:12,727 --> 01:34:14,971
There is no Indian problem.
793
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:18,478
There is only a white problem.
794
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:22,910
Order! Order!
795
01:34:24,372 --> 01:34:25,831
You ask...
796
01:34:26,292 --> 01:34:28,202
...why are we not hostile
to the tribes one day...
797
01:34:28,337 --> 01:34:30,496
...and kill them the next?
798
01:34:31,175 --> 01:34:33,335
Why we sign treaties
with one hand...
799
01:34:33,470 --> 01:34:35,595
...and shoot them down
with another?
800
01:34:37,143 --> 01:34:39,184
The answer is...
801
01:34:40,440 --> 01:34:41,686
...corruption.
802
01:34:43,654 --> 01:34:45,813
Order! Order, gentlemen!
803
01:34:46,741 --> 01:34:48,902
The American people
have the right to know...
804
01:34:49,037 --> 01:34:51,198
...who's responsible.
805
01:34:52,084 --> 01:34:53,913
The answer is look to those...
806
01:34:54,338 --> 01:34:58,208
...who are reaping in the
profits from this dual policy.
807
01:35:03,145 --> 01:35:05,517
There is no reason in
investigating the military.
808
01:35:05,649 --> 01:35:06,978
You're changing the subject.
809
01:35:07,109 --> 01:35:09,399
I defy you to find
a single rich officer...
810
01:35:09,530 --> 01:35:12,450
...in the entire United States
Army.
811
01:35:12,744 --> 01:35:15,283
There is no soldier with his
face stuffed with gold bonds...
812
01:35:15,415 --> 01:35:16,696
...and railroad shares.
813
01:35:16,834 --> 01:35:18,627
Order! Sit down!
814
01:35:19,589 --> 01:35:21,167
For the guilty parties...
815
01:35:22,927 --> 01:35:27,427
...you are going to have to look
right here in Washington!
816
01:35:27,644 --> 01:35:29,803
Order, order!
817
01:35:30,023 --> 01:35:33,061
And you are going to have
to look in high places!
818
01:35:33,487 --> 01:35:34,602
Order!
819
01:35:35,699 --> 01:35:38,072
I know the men
who are responsible.
820
01:35:39,997 --> 01:35:43,167
And I am going to give you
their names.
821
01:35:43,420 --> 01:35:45,046
Yes! Yes!
822
01:35:54,523 --> 01:35:56,766
Excuse me, but Major
the mail just came in.
823
01:35:57,277 --> 01:35:58,356
Good.
824
01:36:01,701 --> 01:36:02,864
Hey, look at this!
825
01:36:03,078 --> 01:36:05,155
The 7th regiment has made
the front page...
826
01:36:05,290 --> 01:36:07,534
...of the New York Herald".
827
01:36:07,668 --> 01:36:08,665
Listen to this.
828
01:36:09,839 --> 01:36:12,510
"Lmpeachment proceedings
have been taken by Congress...
829
01:36:12,636 --> 01:36:14,546
...against Secretary of War
Belinknapp...
830
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,434
...because of General Custer's
testimony.
831
01:36:18,353 --> 01:36:20,263
Belinknapp has already
tendered his resignation".
832
01:36:20,399 --> 01:36:22,807
Can you imagine that?
The Secretary of War?
833
01:36:22,944 --> 01:36:24,405
Listen to this, sir.
834
01:36:25,407 --> 01:36:28,243
"Orville Grant, brother of
President Ulysses S. Grant...
835
01:36:28,370 --> 01:36:29,913
...was accused
by General Custer...
836
01:36:30,039 --> 01:36:32,117
...of accepting
a $1,000 bribe.
837
01:36:32,294 --> 01:36:34,169
- Where?
- Here.
838
01:36:35,381 --> 01:36:37,672
Brother's President.
839
01:36:38,011 --> 01:36:40,255
Custer really knows to hit 'em
where it hurts, don't he?
840
01:36:40,431 --> 01:36:40,930
Obvious.
841
01:36:41,058 --> 01:36:43,265
I wonder what happens
to the General now?
842
01:36:43,396 --> 01:36:45,685
I'll tell you what happens
to Custer.
843
01:36:45,899 --> 01:36:48,309
The big brass won't kick him out
of the Army.
844
01:36:48,445 --> 01:36:50,023
He's too popular for that now.
845
01:36:50,156 --> 01:36:52,732
They got their own way
of handling this guy.
846
01:36:53,077 --> 01:36:54,075
You know what they'll do?
847
01:36:54,204 --> 01:36:56,780
They'll probably send him off
to Europe to count...
848
01:36:56,917 --> 01:36:59,873
...the horses in the Russian
Army. Or just leave him...
849
01:37:00,007 --> 01:37:02,250
...on suspension indefinitely
without pay...
850
01:37:02,426 --> 01:37:03,969
...until he rots.
851
01:37:04,890 --> 01:37:07,215
He'll just sit around,
knock on doors...
852
01:37:07,352 --> 01:37:09,429
...write letters,
eat his heart out...
853
01:37:09,648 --> 01:37:12,140
...and finally he'll wind up
in some hotel lobby...
854
01:37:12,277 --> 01:37:13,688
...talking to strangers...
855
01:37:13,904 --> 01:37:16,195
...telling them what a big man
he used to be.
856
01:37:17,285 --> 01:37:19,325
And it will serve him right.
857
01:37:31,809 --> 01:37:33,008
Cold enough?
858
01:37:33,521 --> 01:37:35,977
- Did you go for a walk?
- No.
859
01:37:36,149 --> 01:37:38,273
I got as far as the lobby.
860
01:37:39,071 --> 01:37:41,029
Better there he started
explaining to me...
861
01:37:41,157 --> 01:37:42,701
...about the Battle
of Gettysburg...
862
01:37:42,828 --> 01:37:45,746
...so I explained to him
about the Battle of Gettysburg.
863
01:37:49,255 --> 01:37:51,415
Was there any mail?
864
01:37:51,634 --> 01:37:54,802
- Yes, there was a letter.
- War Department?
865
01:37:55,474 --> 01:37:57,883
No, from Father.
866
01:38:06,032 --> 01:38:08,490
- Did you see Sheridan?
- No.
867
01:38:09,329 --> 01:38:11,241
No, well he left me word...
868
01:38:11,375 --> 01:38:13,701
...he'd see me this week
for sure.
869
01:38:14,964 --> 01:38:17,172
He doesn't want to see you,
Artie.
870
01:38:26,859 --> 01:38:28,438
What did your father write?
871
01:38:29,781 --> 01:38:32,903
He wants to have a big family
for Christmas.
872
01:38:33,370 --> 01:38:35,198
Why don't you go home
for Christmas?
873
01:38:35,331 --> 01:38:37,373
It would do you good
to get out of Washington.
874
01:38:37,502 --> 01:38:39,792
No without you.
875
01:38:41,843 --> 01:38:45,130
Things are liable to happen
here, I've got to be in town.
876
01:38:50,315 --> 01:38:54,232
- Let's go to Michigan.
- No, I've got to stay here.
877
01:38:56,575 --> 01:38:58,616
The Army needs men like me.
878
01:38:58,747 --> 01:39:00,490
Sooner or later
they'll find that out.
879
01:39:29,380 --> 01:39:31,457
Well, General, you've seen
our firepower.
880
01:39:32,552 --> 01:39:34,761
Now just take a look
as the armor plate.
881
01:39:34,889 --> 01:39:37,892
It's two inches thick,
it'll stop anything.
882
01:39:49,622 --> 01:39:50,822
Why'd you bring me here?
883
01:39:50,957 --> 01:39:52,584
You want your command back,
don't you?
884
01:39:52,710 --> 01:39:54,751
- What's this got to do with it?
- Everything.
885
01:39:55,298 --> 01:39:57,969
Tell the gentlemen sponsoring
at the War Department.
886
01:39:58,094 --> 01:40:01,348
Why'd he come to you, why didn't
he come directly to me?
887
01:40:01,851 --> 01:40:04,972
Any questions, General,
any suggestions?
888
01:40:05,650 --> 01:40:09,697
- And the place for the horses?
- There won't be any.
889
01:40:09,947 --> 01:40:12,072
The cavalry's a thing
of the past.
890
01:40:12,243 --> 01:40:14,534
The object of war is to beat
the enemy, isn't it?
891
01:40:15,416 --> 01:40:19,582
- And it doesn't matter how.
- All right, sir.
892
01:40:20,507 --> 01:40:23,213
Thank you
for the demonstration.
893
01:40:29,105 --> 01:40:31,145
Artie, please
take another look at it.
894
01:40:31,274 --> 01:40:34,562
- What for?
- All right, I'll tell you.
895
01:40:35,365 --> 01:40:38,451
It was Sheridan's idea.
He came to me and said...
896
01:40:38,830 --> 01:40:40,871
..."Have George
sponsor the train.
897
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:42,661
He'll get the credit for it...
898
01:40:42,961 --> 01:40:45,633
...and that will give me
an excuse to bring him back".
899
01:40:46,091 --> 01:40:47,717
But, it's useless.
900
01:40:48,721 --> 01:40:50,549
The War Department
will never accept it.
901
01:40:50,682 --> 01:40:54,516
They already have. The contracts
are ready to be signed.
902
01:40:55,148 --> 01:40:57,438
What do you need me for, then?
903
01:40:57,735 --> 01:41:01,736
Sheridan's suggestion,
we're just trying to cooperate.
904
01:41:02,743 --> 01:41:04,074
How about it?
905
01:41:06,876 --> 01:41:09,203
War isn't just killing,
you know.
906
01:41:10,549 --> 01:41:12,839
It's a contest,
it's a man against a man.
907
01:41:15,641 --> 01:41:19,593
That's a machine. Personal
guides wouldn't count...
908
01:41:19,815 --> 01:41:21,013
...honor, duty, loyalty...
909
01:41:21,149 --> 01:41:23,904
...everything a soldier lives by
will be wiped out.
910
01:41:25,491 --> 01:41:28,410
All you have left is statistics.
911
01:41:30,039 --> 01:41:32,580
How many men with the
machine murdered today...
912
01:41:33,045 --> 01:41:35,620
...a hundred, thousand,
ten thousand?
913
01:41:41,183 --> 01:41:44,056
If this is the future,
I don't want any part of it.
914
01:41:46,776 --> 01:41:48,735
Where does that leave you?
915
01:41:53,245 --> 01:41:54,989
With the idiots?
916
01:42:15,156 --> 01:42:16,818
Next on the program.
917
01:42:17,369 --> 01:42:19,944
It's not a program, it's
an invitation from Sheridan...
918
01:42:20,081 --> 01:42:22,325
...for a party.
919
01:42:22,460 --> 01:42:25,297
- When?
- Tonight.
920
01:42:28,178 --> 01:42:30,468
That would be a good chance
to talk to him.
921
01:42:30,808 --> 01:42:31,888
Yeah.
922
01:42:50,799 --> 01:42:51,963
Help!
923
01:42:55,682 --> 01:42:56,928
Help!
924
01:43:01,358 --> 01:43:02,438
Help!
925
01:43:06,659 --> 01:43:07,988
Help!
926
01:43:12,085 --> 01:43:13,496
Help!
927
01:44:14,648 --> 01:44:17,604
If you want to be a soldier...
928
01:44:17,902 --> 01:44:20,313
...join the 7th cavalry.
929
01:44:20,615 --> 01:44:23,025
Don't you fight with
General Custer...
930
01:44:23,246 --> 01:44:26,283
...learn to fight for Kentucky.
931
01:44:26,543 --> 01:44:29,213
You must fight
for Oklahoma...
932
01:44:29,505 --> 01:44:31,963
...and there's Maine
and Tennessee.
933
01:44:32,260 --> 01:44:35,097
You must fight
for Pennsylvania.
934
01:44:35,349 --> 01:44:37,723
You must fight for Missouri.
935
01:44:38,521 --> 01:44:40,729
If you want to be a soldier...
936
01:44:40,942 --> 01:44:43,779
...you must fight for Glory-o.
937
01:44:43,947 --> 01:44:46,521
You must fight
with General Custer.
938
01:44:46,785 --> 01:44:49,360
You must fight for Idaho.
939
01:44:49,622 --> 01:44:52,294
You must fight
for Massachusetts...
940
01:44:52,544 --> 01:44:55,166
...Michigan and Delaware.
941
01:44:55,549 --> 01:44:58,041
You must fight for Indiana.
942
01:44:58,304 --> 01:45:00,678
You must fight for Ohio.
943
01:45:21,718 --> 01:45:24,471
If you want to be a soldier...
944
01:45:24,639 --> 01:45:27,132
...join the 7th cavalry.
945
01:45:27,519 --> 01:45:30,392
Don't you fight
with General Custer...
946
01:45:30,565 --> 01:45:33,059
...learn to fight for Kentucky.
947
01:45:33,279 --> 01:45:36,068
You must fight
for Oklahoma...
948
01:45:36,325 --> 01:45:38,817
...and there's Maine
and Tennessee.
949
01:45:39,205 --> 01:45:41,828
You must fight
for Pennsylvania.
950
01:45:42,085 --> 01:45:44,756
You must fight for Missouri.
951
01:45:46,926 --> 01:45:48,125
Libby.
952
01:45:53,813 --> 01:45:55,854
Listen, I'm going to put you
in a cab.
953
01:45:56,985 --> 01:46:00,688
- You're going back to the hotel.
- You're not coming with me?
954
01:46:02,285 --> 01:46:03,994
No. I'll go to Sheridan's
party.
955
01:46:05,123 --> 01:46:08,079
Have a whiskey,
be one of the boys.
956
01:46:10,591 --> 01:46:14,044
Not tonight.
You can talk to him tomorrow.
957
01:46:18,312 --> 01:46:19,511
No.
958
01:46:20,148 --> 01:46:21,893
I need a drink.
959
01:46:31,834 --> 01:46:33,876
Come on, run!
960
01:46:44,982 --> 01:46:46,263
¡Whiskey!
961
01:47:26,468 --> 01:47:27,464
Excuse me.
962
01:47:55,682 --> 01:47:57,226
This is the best seat you got.
963
01:47:57,353 --> 01:47:59,643
I'm afraid so, sir,
everything else is taken.
964
01:48:00,857 --> 01:48:03,316
- Bring us a bottle of champagne.
- Certainly, sir.
965
01:48:15,424 --> 01:48:18,380
Well,
when did you get here?
966
01:48:20,725 --> 01:48:24,344
Six months ago, but you don't
have time to see me.
967
01:48:26,442 --> 01:48:28,852
Don't tell me George Custer's
been drinking?
968
01:48:29,447 --> 01:48:32,023
I've not only been drinking,
I'm drunk.
969
01:48:33,328 --> 01:48:34,955
Well good, it's about time.
970
01:48:36,668 --> 01:48:38,294
Come on, sit down.
971
01:48:41,134 --> 01:48:42,593
Join the group.
972
01:48:50,942 --> 01:48:53,066
Calm down,
this is not sarsaparilla.
973
01:48:57,077 --> 01:48:59,154
I came to talk with you.
974
01:49:00,039 --> 01:49:03,577
No, George,
this is a party, tomorrow.
975
01:49:04,965 --> 01:49:07,374
My regiment has received orders.
976
01:49:07,636 --> 01:49:10,723
There'll be another war
with the Indians, right?
977
01:49:11,391 --> 01:49:13,137
I tried you to return
to their job...
978
01:49:13,270 --> 01:49:15,977
...but after you talked in the
Congress, it was impossible.
979
01:49:16,276 --> 01:49:17,854
The President don't want it.
980
01:49:18,988 --> 01:49:22,241
Why the hell talked about
his brother Orville?
981
01:49:26,543 --> 01:49:29,118
Who will be in charge
of my regiment?
982
01:49:30,925 --> 01:49:32,124
I don't know!
983
01:49:33,679 --> 01:49:35,223
You don't know?
984
01:49:35,349 --> 01:49:37,473
You decide that kind of thing.
985
01:49:38,062 --> 01:49:40,733
George, during the 9 days that
the Congress session lasted...
986
01:49:40,858 --> 01:49:42,982
...I was waiting for you
to name me.
987
01:49:43,404 --> 01:49:44,780
You didn't.
988
01:49:44,990 --> 01:49:47,399
I appreciate that,
I won't forget it.
989
01:49:48,747 --> 01:49:50,824
But I can't with the President.
990
01:49:56,676 --> 01:49:59,004
I never left you in the lurch,
Phil.
991
01:50:01,392 --> 01:50:04,764
During the Civil war
I led 60 charges for you, 60.
992
01:50:04,982 --> 01:50:07,308
I remember all of them.
993
01:50:08,112 --> 01:50:09,441
You only said...
994
01:50:09,573 --> 01:50:13,026
..."Go to defeat them",
and I did it.
995
01:50:14,289 --> 01:50:17,494
I never answer
"I can't with them".
996
01:50:19,213 --> 01:50:20,923
Things have changed.
997
01:50:21,509 --> 01:50:23,550
No, you have changed.
998
01:50:24,097 --> 01:50:26,636
How long is it since
you rode a horse...
999
01:50:26,768 --> 01:50:29,307
...or since they last shot
at you?
1000
01:50:29,898 --> 01:50:32,022
You're only a messenger boy...
1001
01:50:32,152 --> 01:50:34,990
...for the railroads
and the politicians.
1002
01:50:35,824 --> 01:50:38,069
You were a soldier.
1003
01:50:41,250 --> 01:50:43,209
I would like to see
your hair...
1004
01:50:43,338 --> 01:50:45,462
...in my house's wall.
1005
01:50:47,052 --> 01:50:48,595
Listen to me, General.
1006
01:50:49,681 --> 01:50:51,924
When the war over you came
to me looking for a job.
1007
01:50:52,061 --> 01:50:55,895
I offered several,
but you rejected all.
1008
01:50:56,192 --> 01:50:59,112
You wanted action, that's what
you said. "I want action".
1009
01:50:59,824 --> 01:51:02,946
And you get it,
and you get glory too,
1010
01:51:03,621 --> 01:51:05,782
The only thing that
you have cared for.
1011
01:51:06,083 --> 01:51:08,920
That's what it is.
You are a glory hunter.
1012
01:51:16,684 --> 01:51:21,065
George, we're a little drunk
now...
1013
01:51:22,570 --> 01:51:24,730
...so we'll forget what
we have said here tonight.
1014
01:51:24,906 --> 01:51:26,188
Go home.
1015
01:51:31,793 --> 01:51:34,332
Maybe you're right, Phil.
1016
01:52:24,924 --> 01:52:28,544
Dear, I need pen and ink.
1017
01:52:28,722 --> 01:52:30,550
I got to write a letter.
1018
01:52:38,989 --> 01:52:40,650
A letter to the President?
1019
01:52:41,159 --> 01:52:43,367
Any objections?
1020
01:52:43,621 --> 01:52:45,496
Would you like to dictate it?
1021
01:52:45,750 --> 01:52:49,881
- Yeah.
- Whenever you're ready.
1022
01:52:53,554 --> 01:52:56,557
"To his excellency...
1023
01:52:57,478 --> 01:53:00,896
...the President
of the United States...
1024
01:53:01,067 --> 01:53:03,108
...etc., etc.
1025
01:53:03,529 --> 01:53:05,322
Dear Sir...
1026
01:53:06,326 --> 01:53:09,578
...I have written to you during
the past months three times...
1027
01:53:09,748 --> 01:53:13,036
...without the courtesy
of an answer.
1028
01:53:15,716 --> 01:53:17,841
Besides...
1029
01:53:18,012 --> 01:53:20,173
...you have refused me
the interview...
1030
01:53:20,307 --> 01:53:22,800
...which simple justice demands.
1031
01:53:26,192 --> 01:53:30,489
Because of your intervention,
I stand...
1032
01:53:32,369 --> 01:53:35,491
...a man condemned,
a man without trial.
1033
01:53:37,754 --> 01:53:40,162
Get all that?
Read it to me.
1034
01:53:45,349 --> 01:53:48,057
"Sir, my regiment
has been ordered...
1035
01:53:48,187 --> 01:53:51,524
...to join the expedition about
to move against the Indians.
1036
01:53:52,361 --> 01:53:54,022
I appeal to you...
1037
01:53:54,447 --> 01:53:57,023
...not as the President
of the United States...
1038
01:53:57,286 --> 01:53:59,659
...but as one soldier
to another.
1039
01:54:00,332 --> 01:54:02,576
Spare me the humiliation
of seeing my regiment...
1040
01:54:02,711 --> 01:54:04,420
...march to meet the enemy...
1041
01:54:04,548 --> 01:54:06,589
...and not share
in it's dangers".
1042
01:54:07,386 --> 01:54:10,342
One soldier to another.
1043
01:54:11,226 --> 01:54:12,507
Libby...
1044
01:54:13,729 --> 01:54:15,890
...I think you might
have done it.
1045
01:54:30,382 --> 01:54:33,635
Attention! Open the gates!
1046
01:54:57,552 --> 01:54:58,964
- Welcome back, sir.
- Thank you, Captain.
1047
01:54:59,097 --> 01:55:00,890
Welcome back, General.
1048
01:55:01,226 --> 01:55:02,425
Thank you.
1049
01:55:03,229 --> 01:55:05,473
Let's get right to it,
gentlemen.
1050
01:55:05,900 --> 01:55:09,236
Now then, this campaign's going
to be a joint operation.
1051
01:55:09,824 --> 01:55:11,448
General Cook in the South.
1052
01:55:11,617 --> 01:55:13,411
General Gibbons
from the North.
1053
01:55:13,788 --> 01:55:15,912
7th cavalry from the east.
1054
01:55:16,042 --> 01:55:19,877
Geronimo here,
Little Big Horn, June the 26th.
1055
01:55:20,174 --> 01:55:22,748
We should've hit them
three months ago.
1056
01:55:22,970 --> 01:55:26,057
From my scout report, there's
more than a few hostiles.
1057
01:55:26,476 --> 01:55:29,764
True, they're building up
strength everyday.
1058
01:55:29,982 --> 01:55:33,733
Cheyenne, Sioux, the Awpahla
the Munikhanja.
1059
01:55:34,155 --> 01:55:36,445
- Give me the reports, Major.
- Yes, sir.
1060
01:55:42,879 --> 01:55:45,585
General, it could be their
big move...
1061
01:55:45,717 --> 01:55:48,886
...to push us clean across
the Mississippi.
1062
01:55:49,139 --> 01:55:50,681
Right, right.
1063
01:55:51,184 --> 01:55:54,769
The picture here in Little Big
Horn will bring the resistance.
1064
01:55:57,319 --> 01:56:00,441
This may be our last chance
to fight, Major.
1065
01:56:09,213 --> 01:56:11,422
You lost a button.
1066
01:56:11,593 --> 01:56:13,717
I'll sew it on to you,
it's only a minute.
1067
01:56:15,141 --> 01:56:18,227
Where's my needle?
I had it a second ago.
1068
01:56:19,940 --> 01:56:21,815
Where is it? I just had it here.
1069
01:56:22,319 --> 01:56:23,565
Doesn't matter.
1070
01:56:25,324 --> 01:56:27,069
Well, it was just here...
1071
01:56:27,202 --> 01:56:28,662
Dear, don't bother about it.
1072
01:56:28,788 --> 01:56:31,364
But it would be so simple
to sew on if I had it.
1073
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,291
Your needle was in my coat
1074
01:57:31,017 --> 01:57:33,260
Forward!
1075
01:57:33,939 --> 01:57:35,315
First squad.
1076
01:57:38,405 --> 01:57:39,733
Second squad.
1077
01:57:42,536 --> 01:57:43,997
Third squad.
1078
01:58:25,066 --> 01:58:26,346
Come on!
1079
01:58:28,154 --> 01:58:30,113
Come on!
1080
01:58:55,908 --> 01:58:57,488
We're covered a lot
of ground, sir.
1081
01:58:57,829 --> 01:58:59,289
When do we make camp?
1082
01:58:59,415 --> 01:59:01,325
We don't, Lieutenant,
General's orders.
1083
01:59:01,460 --> 01:59:03,537
- Keep the troops moving.
- Yes, sir.
1084
01:59:04,256 --> 01:59:06,963
If we keep pushing at this rate,
we're going to reach...
1085
01:59:07,093 --> 01:59:09,218
...the Little Big Horn a day
before those other two columns.
1086
01:59:09,598 --> 01:59:11,924
He wants to win the war
single handed, Benteen.
1087
01:59:12,103 --> 01:59:14,180
I don't think he cares
whether he wins or not...
1088
01:59:14,315 --> 01:59:15,774
...as long as he's up there
leading that charge.
1089
01:59:22,662 --> 01:59:25,285
Why do you want
to get there first?
1090
01:59:25,375 --> 01:59:28,413
Because first is first
and second's nobody
1091
01:59:28,630 --> 01:59:30,872
When we cross the river,
we'll split to three columns.
1092
01:59:31,009 --> 01:59:32,124
Yes, sir.
1093
01:59:32,637 --> 01:59:33,883
Three columns!
1094
02:00:09,865 --> 02:00:11,658
Sioux...
1095
02:00:12,370 --> 02:00:14,494
Maybe 3 or 400.
1096
02:00:14,957 --> 02:00:17,284
- Which way are they headed?
- They're just waiting.
1097
02:00:19,131 --> 02:00:21,172
- Sergeant!
- Sir!
1098
02:00:21,426 --> 02:00:23,337
Have the men take cover
in those trees and set up...
1099
02:00:23,471 --> 02:00:25,930
...a perimeter defense.
- Yes, sir. Take cover!
1100
02:00:26,184 --> 02:00:27,430
Go to the trees!
1101
02:00:40,792 --> 02:00:42,703
- Did you see anything?
- No, nothing.
1102
02:00:43,631 --> 02:00:46,716
There's about 500 Sioux
behind that ridge, waiting.
1103
02:00:48,680 --> 02:00:50,923
- Where's Custer?
- Haven't shown up yet.
1104
02:00:51,309 --> 02:00:54,478
We'll wait. Have your men
deployed in the trees.
1105
02:00:55,650 --> 02:00:57,275
- Corporal!
- Sir?
1106
02:00:58,196 --> 02:01:00,106
- Dismiss the men.
- Yes, sir.
1107
02:01:00,241 --> 02:01:02,484
All forward! Out!
1108
02:01:29,498 --> 02:01:32,170
- Halt! Hawes!
- Sir?
1109
02:01:33,254 --> 02:01:35,331
- You wait here, I'll go ahead.
- Alone, sir?
1110
02:01:35,675 --> 02:01:37,586
- With a scout.
- Could I go with you, sir?
1111
02:01:37,803 --> 02:01:39,215
There might be some action!
1112
02:01:39,431 --> 02:01:41,389
Hot for glory,
ain't you Lieutenant?
1113
02:01:41,685 --> 02:01:44,724
You don't win a General's star
staying behind, do you, sir?
1114
02:01:44,983 --> 02:01:46,229
Your orders are to take over
unless you...
1115
02:01:46,360 --> 02:01:48,650
...hear from me directly, you do
not advance beyond this point.
1116
02:01:48,780 --> 02:01:50,738
- Clear?
- Yes, sir.
1117
02:01:52,494 --> 02:01:56,246
Cheer up. You may get your
chance at promotion yet.
1118
02:01:58,881 --> 02:02:00,673
- Scout!
- Halt!
1119
02:02:05,015 --> 02:02:06,345
Halt!
1120
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:41,043
You just lead your peoples
back to the reservations.
1121
02:03:43,597 --> 02:03:44,973
You must go back.
1122
02:03:46,392 --> 02:03:48,636
I have been waiting for you,
yellow hair.
1123
02:03:51,694 --> 02:03:53,734
There are three armies
on the way.
1124
02:03:54,573 --> 02:03:57,660
They'll wipe you out.
They'll be here tomorrow.
1125
02:04:03,839 --> 02:04:06,000
Today is a good day
for fighting.
1126
02:04:10,517 --> 02:04:12,427
Our fighting.
1127
02:04:13,355 --> 02:04:14,898
It's over.
1128
02:04:16,443 --> 02:04:18,484
It's over, I tell you.
1129
02:04:20,159 --> 02:04:21,439
Trains.
1130
02:04:23,204 --> 02:04:24,534
Steel.
1131
02:04:25,334 --> 02:04:28,004
Guns that kill by thousands,
no horses.
1132
02:04:30,466 --> 02:04:31,843
It's over.
1133
02:04:32,428 --> 02:04:33,627
Steel.
1134
02:04:33,889 --> 02:04:36,216
Yes, steel.
No men.
1135
02:04:37,854 --> 02:04:39,682
It's...
1136
02:04:40,275 --> 02:04:41,984
...finished.
1137
02:04:42,445 --> 02:04:44,819
This is all over.
1138
02:04:48,371 --> 02:04:50,365
Men, for the last time...
1139
02:05:13,788 --> 02:05:16,198
Sound the charge, Sergeant!
We're going after Custer!
1140
02:05:16,335 --> 02:05:17,913
But Lieutenant,
he told us to wait!
1141
02:05:18,046 --> 02:05:19,920
I'm in command.
Sound the charge!
1142
02:05:20,050 --> 02:05:23,385
Yes, sir. Troops Ho!
1143
02:06:27,620 --> 02:06:29,329
Stay back, Lieutenant.
I told you to stay put.
1144
02:06:29,457 --> 02:06:32,329
Sounded like you were
being attacked.
1145
02:06:32,629 --> 02:06:34,956
Beef up your flank and get it
in the middle.
1146
02:06:35,090 --> 02:06:36,088
You had to wait!
1147
02:07:32,896 --> 02:07:34,724
- Hawes!
- Sir?
1148
02:07:34,984 --> 02:07:36,727
Take a message to Reno
and Benteen.
1149
02:07:36,902 --> 02:07:38,398
I want those men
up here quick.
1150
02:07:38,573 --> 02:07:39,771
Yes, sir.
1151
02:07:40,116 --> 02:07:42,490
You four at the end
of the column, follow me.
1152
02:07:52,386 --> 02:07:53,550
Sergeant.
1153
02:07:55,391 --> 02:07:57,599
We're gonna have to stand here.
1154
02:07:58,355 --> 02:07:59,731
Form a perimeter.
1155
02:08:00,316 --> 02:08:02,357
Okay, give the order.
1156
02:08:03,613 --> 02:08:06,533
- Dis-mount.
- Dismount!
1157
02:08:48,648 --> 02:08:51,934
I can't tell you what's
going on out there, Captain.
1158
02:08:52,279 --> 02:08:54,319
He's probably met up with
those Indians...
1159
02:08:54,448 --> 02:08:55,529
...he's been chasing so hard.
1160
02:08:55,658 --> 02:08:57,569
He's found what
he's looking for.
1161
02:08:59,665 --> 02:09:02,241
Whatever happens, Captain,
it's his own doing.
1162
02:09:02,462 --> 02:09:05,381
He's getting what he wants.
Most of us never do.
1163
02:09:05,593 --> 02:09:06,968
Captain...
1164
02:09:08,388 --> 02:09:11,842
...you might say he's luckier
than you and me.
1165
02:09:12,688 --> 02:09:14,312
Take your hands off me, Major.
1166
02:09:16,402 --> 02:09:18,810
All right! Go on!
1167
02:09:24,875 --> 02:09:28,327
But don't you forget, Captain,
for the record.
1168
02:09:28,923 --> 02:09:31,250
I'm cold stone sober.
1169
02:09:47,245 --> 02:09:48,361
Halt!
1170
02:09:50,082 --> 02:09:52,410
Back, back!
1171
02:10:36,285 --> 02:10:38,362
Alright, soldiers!
1172
02:10:39,666 --> 02:10:42,503
Hold your fire until
I give the order.
1173
02:11:11,051 --> 02:11:12,512
Fire!
1174
02:15:16,210 --> 02:15:18,785
He's saving you for the last.
1175
02:15:19,883 --> 02:15:21,081
I know.
1176
02:15:21,302 --> 02:15:23,379
Don't let him take you, sir.
1177
02:16:29,750 --> 02:16:31,031
Go!
1178
02:16:43,064 --> 02:16:45,307
Charge!
80525
