Colonel, that's 30 bursts.

That... the...

Very well. Stop the fire.

Where is Captain Heath?

The last time I saw him, he was leaving there.

But what was he doing here?

Go get it!

Yes, Colonel.

Captain, my captain...

Captain Heath!

He fired the 30 bursts.

On the way, Geary.

Hey, where do you think you're going with your bag of food?

Let's see what we have... So...

Chicken donuts, cracked corn, pork...

Two cakes with coconut and three pies with blueberry.

Let's move a market.

You do not say anything to others and we share that.

Well, that's okay.

But let's go down to the river. We will not see you.

Do not move, or I'll hit you.

Congratulations, Captain!

Thank you for playing the spectators.

Take them back to the camp.

Go, on the way!

Captain Heath to report.

Is it an outfit for an officer? Give me that.

From now on, heal your appearance before introducing yourself.

We were on patrol and took prisoners.

Prisoners ?

Who told you to take prisoners?

Nobody, but...

- Bring them back! - What?

You heard me well!

- I thought it was done... - Do not tell me what is done!

Which of us is a West Point graduate?

It's you, Colonel.

And how !

How many times have I forbidden taking initiatives?

Surely more than 1,000 times.

You're lucky, Captain.

After the war, you will return to your "medical office"...

- Or I do not know what... - A law firm.

I am a career officer!

I never rely on my service record!

I do not see how this decision would hurt your service record.

- You do not see. - No, sorry.

Close [two seconds and I'll tell you!

So...

We are in a good area, calm and well regulated.

Every morning at 6 o'clock

the Confederates send us 30 rounds of ammunition.

Then at 6:30,

we give them back.

Our generals and theirs are thrilled and no one is hurt.

But by taking prisoners you have just broken the status quo.

It will not please them, captain.

They will get angry.

For real !

If I can afford, the very purpose of this war

is that both sides are angry.

I will tell you what is the purpose of this war.

It's because you shut up!

Do what you are told!

Instead of going to break the statu that all goes!

Colonel?

Look at what you did !

I knew they would get angry!

Warning. You put your feet on dangerous ground!

Dangerous... Yes, Colonel.

A message from headquarters.

Wonderful.

We have an order to attack.

You won everything, Heath!

We could find an arrangement with the Rebs.

If we attack them for 15 minutes and they fight back for 15 minutes,

could we have a break for tea?

- The farm, Heath! - Yes, Colonel.

Should I ring the rally?

Do you have a better idea?

Obviously, do it!

Well, Colonel.

My wife would not believe half of what's going on here!

Sergeant Davis! Gather the men. We attack.

- Are we attacking? - Exact.

My captain...

Stop me on the spot, because I'm not going there.

Sorry ?

These Rebs we took prisoner...

They come from the city where I come from.

I refuse to shoot my blood brothers.

I see…

I have a question for you, sergeant.

Assuming that one of your relatives is in front

and to suppose that by a blow of the spell you fell on him,

what reason would you have to kill him?

I had never thought about it. But I would not do my duty.

Kill some Rebs that you do not know.

It will compensate.

Okay.

Well done, my captain.

Now it's your turn. Heard?

Hear, my captain.

Come on, guys! On the way ! Get out of there!

That's right, Captain? Are we really going on the attack?

- Exact. You have planned better? - No, Captain.

But you know how it happens each time.

Like when the colonel brandished his sword and shouted: "Charge!"

We ended up in the swamps up to the neck!

- And then the time... - Enough, Selous. Enough.

Well, my captain.

To hell with that hiccup! We will have to be discreet.

Well, my captain.

Selous!

- Thank you, Captain. - You're welcome.

That's enough ! Go back to the stable and leave me.

What are you doing with that?

He follows me everywhere!

- Get rid of it. - The problem is here.

- Why ? - Look...

I have a gift with horses. They do not want to leave me anymore.

It's been a long time?

It has always been like this. It's very embarrassing sometimes.

- And all the horses? - None have resisted me yet.

It must come from my smell.

Corporal,

if you passed under the nose of the cavalry at the time of the charge,

what would happen?

- I do not even dare to think about it. - Of course.

Tell the colonel that you have become a courier.

It's an order !

Well, but it will not please him.

So ?

The trees hide my view.

We would even miss Hannibal and his elephants.

Elephants?

That would be the kind of Yank generals.

Elephants. See this!

They will soon use camels.

Sergeant, what I meant...

It does not matter.

- Do you have hiccups? - No, my captain. And you ?

No.

We had to cheat both of them.

You all want us to kill?

I'm sorry, Captain.

- If he starts again, strangle him. - Well, my captain.

Mail to the report. But it's a bad idea.

Corporal, go and tell the general that we are attacking.

- It would not be better. - Without arguing!

- But you must know that... - Wind!

Oh ! Not that way...

Damn horse!

We attack in the opposite direction!

The colonel withdraws!

If he leaves the camp, me too!

I follow you !

But colonel where are you going?

But what's going on, colonel?

Back !

Stop! But wait... Wait!

Stop, stop!

Back ! Stop!

Thank you Selous! Selous why...

I intend to shed light on this fiasco

and know what or who is responsible

from the escape of an entire battalion.

And this, even before the first shot.

Now, let's start.

Second class, Owen Selous.

Second class, Owen Selous.

Please have a seat.

What happened ?

What happened ?

Yes, why have you fled under the nose of the enemy?

The enemy has nothing to do with it, General.

Besides, I can not say that the enemy was in the vicinity.

But then, what?

Well, a few guys and I were moving forward...

So what...

Suddenly, Colonel Brackenby arrived on horseback

while heading backwards.

- Colonel Brackenby? - Yes and then...

Captain Heath tried to arrest the colonel.

He screamed at the top of his lungs!

Continue.

I thought there was something I did not know.

And I have...

You know... I'm not supposed to argue.

So I have...

Go ahead, sergeant.

My general…

We thought we saw a ghost.

The colonel came up at full speed,

his horse was white with foam and had a crazy look!

And right behind...

followed Captain Heath.

He too was foaming and he had a crazy look!

If you know what I mean.

When the colonel passed, the captain was in the passage.

So, I thought we had changed orders without warning.

Reverse,

was not so much a retreat,

than attack in the other direction.

Everything was chained very quickly, General.

I see Colonel Brackenby backtracking.

I pursue it in doubt.

I turn around and see that all men are following him.

I notice that they are far behind me.

I felt exposed, exposed.

There was only me left.

All this for a damn horse!

Speak louder, colonel!

This damn horse ran away with me on his back.

Your horse has what...?

He escaped !

Colonel, how long have you been serving in the army?

I graduated from West Point in 1837.

Well, 1837.

You order today

the 5th New York Volunteer Battalion.

- That's right ? - That's it.

When did you enter the infantry?

- In fact, my general... - When!

Six months ago.

Six months.

And before, during the previous 24 years and 6 months...

- Seven months. - Is...

During the previous 24 years and 7 months,

in what body did you serve?

The cavalry.

- Sorry ? - The cavalry!

My poor wife...

The colonel is really there for nothing.

I came back to headquarters and his horse followed me.

Being on it, the colonel had no other choice

to go where his horse would go.

You expect us to swallow a similar story, corporal?

Which one, my general?

Your stupid power over horses

and on that of the colonel, in this case.

It's the truth.

It may be because I feel the horse a little.

This is the most shameful excuse I have ever heard.

Not only do you taint military history alone,

but you are trying to escape by forcing one of your men

to invent a story that even a 6-year-old would not believe.

- But I did not force it! - Enough !

- I do not know where he caught that. - Another word and you're dead!

- The colonel wanted... - It's worth for you too!

The farm, Heath.

As I said,

it is enough for me to be near a horse...

Put me this man out!

The meeting adjourned !

Chickens too, broom!

In a first outpouring of generosity,

I would have done them all at dawn.

But President Lincoln has the phobia of mass executions.

Well, whatever we decide,

it is essential to keep these men away from the press

as well as the rest of the army.

We find a few gougnafiers in all the battalions,

but it is rare to find a whole battalion.

I would go even further.

These men would be the plague of a battalion of gougnafiers.

A battalion of gougnafiers... But of course!

Maybe they are not a problem,

but the solution to many problems.

As you have said, every battalion has its share of incapable.

Imagine that we take the shabby of each company

and entrust them all to Brackenby,

before sending everything to the far end of the Wild West, without a return ticket.

My general…

It would be hard on the Indians.

Says General Shermann: "The war is hell."

The Indians will live with it.

Let's go back to the martial court.

I would gladly have them executed.

Listen to the rest of this order.

"The command of the company Q."

Have you heard correctly? The company Q!

Yes, Captain.

"In doing so, Captain Brackenby..."

Captain Brackenby...

The rank of my debut, 20 years ago!

George Custer is general. Shermann is general!

And none has made such a good marriage!

It's all your fault, Heath!

- What do you mean ? - It does not matter.

"Captain Brackenby...

"will lead said company Q...

"by any means of locomotion,

"available but not a priority

"at Sioux Landing, Indian Territory,

"He will raise the 11th of cavalry."

But it's the elite!

This has nothing to do !

It's your fault if Geary told this ridiculous story!

I was close to execution.

I did not tell him anything and this story is true.

Do you deny having wanted my skin

since the day I became your superior?

Do you want to talk about it without ceremony?

Without ceremony?

Yes, without ceremony. From man to man

Well, why not?

- Just a moment. - Well.

Brackenby...

I can not stand to cover your stupid blunders anymore.

Your success at West Point remains a mystery to me.

And you should thank Heaven for being captain

instead of having spots at your height

like counting paper clips and trimming pencils.

- And Brackenby... - Let's go back to the ceremonies.

Well, my captain.

Let's see…

These men who were entrusted to me...

What do they look like?

You will judge for yourselves,

but I've never seen that before.

Anyway...

I'm counting on you to make good soldiers, captain.

I mean... lieutenant.

Okay, Colonel.

Oh, sorry, I meant... Captain.

- You again ? - Yes, my captain.

They did not spare me anything.

Hey, get out of here!

Why ?

Because I order you!

I am well up there.

Get off there!

Well, lieutenant.

I arrive !

- Who is it ? - One of your men, my captain.

One of the most normal.

gentlemen,

I am your new captain.

My name is Brackenby.

- Your name ? - Second class Jennert...

I beg you to excuse my clumsiness, Captain.

Oh, it's nothing.

- How long in the army? - Two years.

A moment. Give it back, Long.

"What are you doing, lieutenant? - Give it back.

Very good... I did not intend to keep it.

Long is cleptomaniac.

He steals things. A bit like a magpie.

- You know Selous. - My captain.

Yes, I remember you.

And you, who are you ?

What have you done ? Drowned your officer?

Check Belmont, my captain. I did not drown anyone.

Belmont reportedly caused fires.

Many.

How many ?

- We counted 105. - 106!

Oh, 106!

What do you like so much when you burn?

I like the crackling of the flames,

watch sparks sparkle

and see the screaming people coming out of the burning buildings.

Okay... I see, I see.

This one looks normal...

This is Jim Fulton.

He breaks men against his chest.

- Like this. - Yes, put it down.

Repose it, I said.

He was causing serious back injuries

in his battalion.

- Luke Bannerman, my captain. - Coming from the artillery.

- Why ? - A misunderstanding.

Regarding the powder of the artillery.

What kind of misunderstanding?

He blew up the officers' mess.

- Thanks for your help. - But...

- Fergus O'Toole. - Slasher. Future boxing champion.

But would it be a little fat?

Oh, name of...

It's compulsive. It happens as soon as you touch it.

This is the time to tell me.

Bring me back to my office. Go!

Sergeant, Slasher has just won a hot bath and a double ration.

Well, my lieutenant.

Break!

What do we know about this company Q, major?

Not much, General.

The men were recruited from battalions throughout the Union.

Surely selected experts.

Yes but why ?

The name itself of the company is rather fishy.

Another thing, major?

A company without affectation and not priority.

It's necessarily a decoy.

She will travel to Fort Hooker via Sioux Landing.

Fort Hooker?

Would it be a report

with this shipment of gold from the western mines?

It could be, General.

They have been piling gold for two years,

for fear of conveying the cargo.

But they need it too much, they have no choice.

Who do we have there?

Just a renegade named Hugo Zattig,

which combines all the defects of Quantrill

and Bloody Bill Anderson.

Zattig says in our camp, but we have doubts.

- What are you going to do, Major? - Well...

Let's start first

by sending one of our secret agents

to learn the maximum.

A name in mind?

I thought of Miss Martha Lou Williams.

Is not it a bit dangerous for a woman?

Yes, I know it.

But she is by far our best agent.

And considering the importance of this mission...

I... She's waiting in the antechamber.

Well, let her in.

Miss Williams, please.

- Check that there is the account. - Yes, my lieutenant.

Come here and take your cabin numbers.

Do you see what I see?

I think my eyes play tricks on me.

At first I thought I saw a company,

but here I am no longer certain.

I have never seen a troop with such dejected air.

But let it go... That's enough.

What are you...

Not me ! Him !

Now get on board!

I'm sorry about what's happening to you, Claude.

- But you'll get away, old man. - Get away with it? Perhaps.

But he will be very hard

to explain to my wife that I become captain again.

And then there is this Heath...

Is there no chance that he will join another company?

Any. The orders were precise. But you know the army.

- Hello, Lieutenant. - We're waiting for you on board.

Good... Bye, Claude. And good luck.

The war will not be endless.

Goodbye, Lieutenant.

How did such a dull man become a captain?

Good morning.

We do not damage the goods.

Jared!

That's it, Jared Heath!

- Dirty little drag-slippers! - Jenny!

I have not seen you since you got me out of prison.

- It was something, huh? - How are you ?

Do not tell me the army is there to throw us out?

No, we're going there.

Wonderful! U.S. too...

Girls, here is Jared, the friend of the women in trouble.

Ladies.

I forgot. This is my superior, Captain Brackenby.

Hello, Captain. Here are the girls.

We're going to celebrate!

I love men of authority.

Go foolhardy, broom!

- Take me out of here! - See you later !

- You libertine! - Mrs...

A sacred number, this Jenny!

Should you introduce me to this... Jenny,

here, in front of everyone?

You'll see her later in private.

I did not mean that, Heath.

- Know that I am a married man. - Oh yes. My excuses.

Put it back on board!

Here's a way to treat this young woman.

She's trying to cope.

And never try to come back!

Come, ladies.

Old nanny-goat !

Our husbands will finally stay home.

Do you want to get us into trouble? Give me that !

But, my lieutenant!

Courage ma'am, we'll get you on board.

What is going on ?

Come on, push yourself!

Ouste!

- What is going on ? - The lieutenant fell into the water.

- Throw the rope! - But captain!

Throw the rope!

Very well.

Pass me that one!

Go quickly ! Give him the rope!

Why are you so interested in them?

They are broke like the wheats.

These are not good parties?

Unless you are looking to open a sanatorium.

Oh Jenny. There are some who are cute.

You say that each time.

I do not know why, but I like them.

I want to tell you that I really enjoyed this dance.

Certainly not more than me, captain.

It's so rare for a girl like me,

to meet such a mature man with so much experience.

And good dancer with that!

Well...

Maybe we could meet again later?

But that's a very pleasant idea.

Excuse me.

- Can I take one? - Thank you.

- Hello you. - Oh hi.

On behalf of all girls,

I thank you for trying to drown the shrew.

No need to thank me.

My name is Ora.

My name is Selous. Owen Selous.

Enchanted...

Does it make you sit down to discuss?

Talk?

Well... that's unusual.

- Good evening darling. - Let me pass.

Give me a little kiss.

Do you like blows?

Let me go ! Let me go !

Let me go !

Thank you for your help !

What did I do ?

Nothing, precisely!

Do you never react when a woman is assaulted?

Know that I rarely attend such scenes.

The last time was seven years ago.

And what did you do?

Well...

I went there and offered my help.

She slapped me like you this guy

and sent me to walk.

The guy who was with her threw herself on me

and convinced me for life to meddle with what was watching me.

I assure you that I would not have reacted as well

if you had offered me your services.

I could not believe it either, last time.

My name is Martha Lou Williams.

Nice to meet you.

So, are you a lieutenant?

Yes that's it. A bar there.

Women all love uniforms.

I would not recognize a general of a simple soldier

even if my life depended on it.

Oh, I doubt it.

What?

I doubt that your life depends one day

of the difference between a general and a soldier.

You are surely right.

I was delighted to chat with you, lieutenant.

We will certainly not fail to meet again.

It's possible.

- But you will be very busy. - Busy?

You mean... busy.

You know how it is.

No, I'm not sure I know.

It has always intrigued me.

What ?

How such a pretty young woman

with a silhouette...

What made you do this job?

It's time to say good night, Lieutenant.

Damn it ! Nobody ever wants to answer me.

Good night.

Nobody ever wants to answer me.

That's what I say.

As a spy, I did not expect that.

You went a little hard.

I would have sworn that you enjoyed it.

And it was not even enough to attract attention

this stupid lieutenant.

Do you know where to contact Captain Hugo Zattig?

Yes, but you will have trouble.

- Hugo is cunning like a fox. - Where is he ?

It lands with the Indians and avoids the 11th of cavalry.

Is there a road for Sioux Landing?

Yes, the wild road leads to the hinterland

and join the Mormon Trail.

A horse would go faster than this boat.

Without a doubt.

Listen. You find Captain Zattig,

you tell him Q goes to Fort Hooker

and that he must meet me at Sioux Landing.

- It's understood ? - Yes Madam.

But am I supposed to find a horse on this boat?

You will find a way.

You know how to swim, I hope?

I offer you a drink, ladies?

Oh, Jared! What question !

- Pushes you. - Boy!

Thank you.

Jenny, I just chatted with one of your girls.

Talk? With one of my daughters?

I'm giving up. Which ?

Her name is Martha Lou Williams.

Everything is explained.

You almost worried me. The same thing.

She is with us only the time of the journey.

She is with us only the time of the journey.

She is with us only the time of the journey.

- Sorry ? - I know that sounds crazy...

She learned that we were being hunted

and offered me $ 50 to take the boat.

I have nothing to lose

and 50 dollars go better than the slashing.

- Not that. - But who is it, where does it come from?

I know as much as you do.

Hey, do not tell me she cares?

Not that way.

Do you know another way?

Are you sure about it?

Obviously.

My daughters…

No. I just wanted to make sure.

- What is the number of his cabin? - 208.

See you later.

- I accompany you. - Thank you darling. I have stuff to do.

Hello Darling. I began to despair.

You speak of a surprise, Lieutenant.

And then I asked myself...

how can I be forgiven for having offended the young lady?

And here I am ready to be forgiven.

It's very nice of you, but...

I also thought. We would not get along.

So... Good night again, Lieutenant.

Oh, come on, darling. Now, I understand you.

Come.

Good…

Very well...

You want to unpack me?

You do not shout?

Yell ? Why ?

It is true. Why make manners?

We are no longer beginners.

Thank you. I'll finish.

You surprise me, Lieutenant.

Given your reaction on the bridge, I thought you were indifferent.

I already explained you. No need to start again.

And then, this guy was tough.

Oh, you'd be a mouthful.

A man so intelligent. You would have found a way.

I'm not so sure.

Jared, honey. I need your help.

Yes why ?

- This is below. - Okay.

Beginners... Now, get out of here.

This time, you make manners!

- Very well. - Come in and I'm screaming, really!

Do not touch me ! Get out of here ! Get out!

I'm not leaving without asking you a few questions.

- Like... - Who are you, where are you from?

- And who went overboard? - Sorry ?

I understand you would be a Confederate spy.

How dare you call me a spy?

How dare you be?

- Who is it ? - Captain Brackenby?

One moment, dear captain.

Do not go !

Come in, captain.

Ah, here you are, darling.

You are not going to make manners with Captain Brackenby?

Because the nice captain knows how to take care

ugly little girls doing manners with him.

Come on, do not be afraid.

Hello...

I see you…

Heath!

What are you doing in this bed?

I was hiding, nice captain.

It's promised, Thin Elk.

Your people will take back what belonged to them.

When will we start, Mr. Zattig?

It will not be long. The North is in bad shape.

They will recall all their battalions.

Including the 11th.

Most left last month.

Upon their departure, we will settle.

But in the meantime, you hide here without doing anything.

That's not what we're taught in West Point.

You at West Point?

Promotion 1839.

Either you are more educated than me.

Remember it.

If you want to double me.

New ?

Behind him ?

I trust Thin Elk.

A Confederate spy arrives today.

She wants to see you as soon as possible.

She ? I was waiting for a spy, but...

- They sent a woman? - And which!

She hides her game well.

Besides, she is not at all friendly.

Continue.

A whole boat of soldiers disembarks at Fort Hooker.

- What? - More soldiers?

I may have chosen the wrong camp.

It can be our chance.

It remains to be seen.

In any case, you have to leave.

Some days. Then we will be ready.

Guys, get ready. We raise the camp.

I will manifest myself.

Will you hold me to this incident in your cabin?

- I lost my mind. "Do not think about it, captain.

You are adorable. And very fascinating too!

Thank you. Excuse me.

Hello, my captain. You are fresh like a roach.

And that's saying a lot.

Heath, you are making some misconceptions as to last night.

False ideas?

Oh, are you talking about the nice captain and the ugly girl?

I am the happy husband of the most adorable woman in the world.

She is loyal and faithful.

And his father's money was a blessing.

I'm sure she would understand.

Think again.

So please forget about this last night's fiasco.

It's an order, Heath.

Forgetting the fiasco... Well, my captain.

Hello, Lieutenant Heath.

Did you recover from this humiliating episode?

Almost.

But the captain is marked forever.

Such a gentleman.

Nothing like a junior officer.

Maybe because he knew too much about you.

If you are so sure of yourself, why not indulge me?

To shoot you?

I have other projects for you.

That is to say ?

You are the woman I dreamed of.

Confederate spy or not, I'll have to forgive you.

How is the dream woman?

You are not quite, but almost.

You then!

First, you enter my cabin

like an animal in heat

and accuse me of espionage.

Then here I am the woman of your life.

That's life.

Well, not mine.

So, resume

and drive me out of your mind.

It's a bit late for that.

- Certainly not. - Perfectly, yes.

You're crazy, Lieutenant Heath.

The first bridge burns!

But you're crazy, my word!

Not on me, on fire!

Sergeant, what's going on?

That's 107, my lieutenant.

It's not the army, but an insane asylum!

- Come ! - But it's just a small fire!

Throw it on the fire!

Goodbye, George. It will be good to find the cavalry.

Captain, I thought you had vaccinated?

Heath!

Watch the men instead.

And hide them as much as possible.

- I dread to show them. - Well.

They would have been recruited across the country.

It must be something.

Clear the passage.

Now that's enough. Stop!

We are not here for that.

Heath! Let these women dismount!

Sergeant!

Down to earth!

- Forsythe. - Nice to meet you.

- Lieutenant Everett. - Captain.

- This is Lieutenant Heath. - Major.

Congratulations.

Such responsibility is rarely given.

Responsibility...

You go to garrison at Fort Hooker.

The 11th is not in Fort Adams?

Do not do the innocent with me.

Excellent lure. We will only see fire.

- But what? - We know, captain.

Yes... No, say Major...

Do you understand it?

Good, good... Gold arrives in three weeks.

You will escort the wagon from Buffalo Run.

I give you the official instructions.

- Gold, do you say? - More than 2 million dollars.

In the hands of the Confederates, he would change the course of the war.

But with your men, no worries.

Let's go see them.

- Heath! - Oh, yes, my captain.

Geary, major.

Goodbye, Major. I hope you will have a good trip.

Very good, Lieutenant.

Good luck, Captain. Our departure is imminent.

Tuck in this shirt.

There is inevitably confusion somewhere.

But what are you talking about?

Why is nobody ever clear?

That does not make any sense.

We replace the only troops present here?

I do not care about that.

But these stories of gold worry me.

Let's just wait for the next events.

- Well, give the orders. - Heard.

Sergeant! Half of the men on the cart, the other on horseback.

Last row, three steps forward. Market !

Direction, the carts. Market !

First row!

Half turn.

Three steps forward. Market !

Ready to ride!

We have to get on that?

You heard me?

Are you kidding?

I'm going to the cart.

Get in the saddle, whatever the means! Go!

Compagnie Q... In the saddle!

Hold me those horses!

Stop it!

Who to complain? Horses, men or Abraham Lincoln?

You permit ?

Oh sorry.

Well...

Spies are charming nowadays.

Spare me your flattery, Zattig.

Too bad we were talking business.

You're welcome.

- Monk, it's confidential. - I'm waiting outside.

Do so.

- A glass ? - Gladly.

So, I'm listening to you.

I have money and orders for you.

- Major Zattig. - Oh, major.

It should be ok.

At your service.

These soldiers must perform a special mission.

Do not tell me you're in charge of teaching me?

Of course not.

A big cargo of gold will arrive from the west.

Company Q is supposed to escort him here.

We must recover this gold.

How?

You will intercept the cart

and wear a Yankee uniform.

And how will I get it?

Did you see the company Q?

I just said, "In the saddle".

Now, everyone standing!

I said, "Stand up!"

Band...

In a row ! I have two words to tell you.

I think we are there.

Obviously, we are there.

Once arrived, you will charge a man

to prepare a good bath.

Well, my captain.

Your good bath seems to me somewhat compromised.

The farm, Heath!

What are they waiting for? Show them their neighborhoods.

- Heard. - Strip of wretches!

Strip of miserable...

What way to treat a grad...

The pangs of the administration.

Come in !

I'm listening, Queeg.

Well... This is the company Q.

But still ?

They would report the 11th of cavalry...

That was not my intention,

but if they can release an effective company,

Everything is fine !

- I hope so. - What do you hope?

- That everything will be better! - And how !

They are away and we are rid of them, right?

And Sioux Landing is sufficiently removed!

But... The 11th was not on a special mission?

Yes, my general.

- A cargo of gold... - Gold, gold!

Name of God, I forgot the gold!

Do not stay here! React!

Detach a unit, I'll take them there myself.

If this gold falls into the hands of the Confederates, know it...

Q will have two recruits!

You and me !

In this order ! You and me !

I take them!

Service Officer!

- They progress. - The horses are patient.

Stay in the saddle!

Tighten your knees!

I support them during the day, but at night, I have a nightmare!

- I understand you, sergeant. - Thank you.

You must hold on!

- Hello. - Captain.

- So, ready? - A moment.

Do you allow me this ride?

I imagine so, yes.

But I admit I do not understand

what a charming woman can find you.

I reveal to him confidential information.

It's supposed to be funny.

But you are frankly the least fun of men.

You remind me of my father when I was born.

He said to mother: "It's not a joke, Emma!"

The farm, Heath!

Well, my captain.

- Charming, quite charming. - Thank you.

You know, if I did not have this adorable little woman in Boston

I would be madly tempted...

- What would you do ? - Again.

Jared, we have to stop this.

No, I recommend that...

you sent your resignation to the Confederates.

Marry a Union officer

will not give you time to spy.

You are crazy.

It does not prevent marriage.

I will not marry you. Do not even talk about it anymore.

You did not think to meet such a compassionate man,

then, you are overwhelmed.

I am not overwhelmed.

The term may be a little weak.

Listen to me, Jared.

- You are kind and attractive. - Oh no…

- But you do not know anything about me. - You are spying.

I already know a lot, right?

Is...

Let's admit for a moment that I'm a spy.

Who does not lack charm.

- That would make us enemies. - Of course.

And we would start the marriage,

with 20 to 30 years ahead of other couples.

Obviously, you are not serious.

I am, Martha Lou.

I know it.

That's why it's so horrible.

Is it horrible to be in love?

- I did not say it. - It's not necessary.

I do not want to talk about it anymore.

Very well.

I will not marry you.

We will talk about it after the ceremony.

You know, lieutenant.

It will take two days to recover

the cargo at Buffalo Run.

Do you think you can?

Sergeant, do you believe them capable?

You want the truth?

- Do you want the truth? - Of course, I want it!

They are our best men. Being optimistic,

less than a third will do so.

- By being optimistic... - I heard!

He will have to, Sergeant.

This is perhaps the most important mission of the war.

Until now.

We will try.

Whatever you order them, they try.

It does not always appear, but they do.

Good…

Give orders, lieutenant.

- Ready to ride, sergeant. - Ready to ride!

In the saddle !

In the saddle !

I just said, "In the saddle!"

They are almost all in the saddle.

So let's go.

In a row, if you can!

Lieutenant...

What are they doing in these bushes?

Well, let's see...

What are men doing in the bushes?

- They watch the birds? - Do not play riddles.

I ask you what they do.

Well, I just have to go see.

- That's what you expected? - Attention, Lieutenant...

Well, my captain.

What are you looking at ?

A show of choice!

Lieutenant, a bath will not hurt us either.

It is true.

We stink more than others.

It's been a while, huh?

Charming...

Quite charming.

Pretty bathers and wild nymphs,

in the middle of a small wood.

Sorry, Captain?

"Pretty bathers and forest nymphs

in the middle of a wood. "

Why do you say that ?

How so, why?

I say it, because I want it.

Could you repeat it?

Certainly not.

Forget it, Lieutenant.

You should be ashamed.

Come on, get up all of you.

But it's Claude Brackenby!

West Point, promotion 1837.

Charley... "Thin Elk"!

- Yes ! - Terror tipi, how are you?

Good, really good.

The years have not changed, always fine fly.

When you spend too much time on the ground...

I always say that a little look does not hurt.

- No, of course. It was made for. - What?

- You are my prisoner. - Your what ?

Tell them to surrender without resistance.

I will not do anything...

Well, well...

Come on, do what he says.

It's unworthy of a classmate.

- A little look, huh? - The farm.

Heath!

- These savages had Miss Williams. - It seems like.

That's all you do?

I would be upset if they torture her.

- Upset? - Yes...

Good job, Thin Elk, put them in the corral.

If they touch you, they will deal with me!

In the corral!

Take off your uniforms. We need it.

That's the best. We will not do anything!

Good…

Other arguments?

You heard him, colonel. My captain.

Good .. Very good...

Come on, take off your uniforms...

This, for example !

- You will regret it, sir. - Yes Yes…

It's not ok to have us undress

in front of a woman.

Come on, faster than that.

Thank you. Heard.

Damn it's hard to forgive you.

Fortunately, I am patient.

- I do not want your forgiveness. - Oh yes.

Women want the esteem of the one they love.

I never said to love you.

I understand that you are shy.

Do not try again!

Very well. But do not get upset. One day, you know...

We will laugh at all this.

- You may laugh at it. - No, we'll laugh.

We will know what to tell our children on winter evenings...

At the Fireside…

How many times will I have to...

... tell you that I will not marry you.

And what will our children think?

- For heaven's sake, hold on. - Thank you.

Our children will not think of it because we will not have any.

- Everyone in the saddle. - I have to go.

Goodbye dear.

It's clever, in front of everyone!

Colonel...

We thought you were going to slit your throat and crush your bones, but...

Nobody does that to his classmate, anyway?

- Of course not. - No, of course.

Moreover, at this stage, nobody is more convinced

to fight in the right camp, right?

This is also relevant.

Well, you are free.

You will not go far without horses and without weapons.

Oh, Colonel!

A moment...

A former West Point does not wander in this outfit.

What a way to treat a grad!

My wife would not believe half of what's going on here.

That's it, they arrive. And do not forget !

It's me who speaks!

Come on, get in the cart.

It's time to become soldiers again.

What do you suggest, Lieutenant?

That we repatriate this gold.

How?

By riding all on this canasson?

You forget what cost us our grades...

The gift of Geary...

Stop with this silly story.

- What do you think Geary? - I can try.

Well.

Shoot them down! Shoot them down!

Get the horses!

- What do you say now? - It's incredible !

- Let's go get them! - Come on !

Geary...

- I'll talk to Mr. Lincoln about it. - Thank you, Captain.

And by the way,

the morning of the fiasco...

Well...

I had never won 2 million so easily.

You?

You mean "the South", major?

Oh, I was going to tell you...

It is not for lack of being patriotic, know it,

but all men have their price

and mine is $ 2 million.

What a strange coincidence.

But I suspected that would be the case.

Do you feel more patriotic?

That would be the case...

- If Monk was not behind you. - It does not take.

Stop worrying about it.

Gold will go to the South.

As far as we can go south, as in Mexico.

Gentlemen, let's camp under these trees and leave at dawn.

Tie it up and if it causes trouble,

slit his throat.

Hue!

Your strategy, my captain?

Well... this situation turns out to be...

a classic case studied at West Point.

Well, my captain.

Unfortunately, the recommended weapon was...

the catapult...

The catapult?

It will be difficult to get one in the area.

Yes, it's the inconvenience.

Take over, while I study the question.

- Sergeant! - My captain ?

We saw carts on the road.

There were barrels. Bring them back.

Barrels of water?

I have a little idea... And it could work.

Well, my captain. Selous, Geary, follow me.

I thought a lot...

to this whole story.

We could be together on this one.

And what should I do, Major Zattig?

Let's see... You know what I'm insinuating.

You mean that...

If I were very kind to you, would you be with me?

Yes that's right.

It's no !

Why ? I am far from repulsive.

But yes, you are. You are repulsive.

And even the most repulsive man I know.

Goodbye, Major Zattig.

Problems with women, major?

I never have that kind of problem.

Are you sure of yourself, Lieutenant?

It's worth a try.

It's risky for our legs, but...

That's what I fear.

- Unless you have an idea... - No, no...

You said it's worth trying.

Change your attitude where I leave you here.

Well, do it.

Everybody is ready?

So let's go.

- How did you do ? - It's too long to tell.

Take the carts!

By the way, I stop you.

You stop me?

But from the end of the war,

I leave you in prison and I marry you.

- For pity, Jared. - You would do the same for me...

Come on stand up ! Standing !

Standing!

- What happened ? - We lost the gold! Standing!

- Who is the mayor of this city? - It's me !

Calm, there is no fire!

The city will be sacked. I want your weapons, your ammunition

and all men ready in 10 minutes. Come on!

It's understood ? Go get your weapons!

Take your weapons!

Company Q, ashore until further notice.

Where do you think you are going?

- Nowhere in particular. - You stay there, girl.

I do not know if I have to laugh or cry?

Why are they stripped?

We will know later.

Not one is in a state.

Geary, Selous? Come with me.

- Davis, keep the carts. - Keep the carts!

- Nothing to add, captain? - No, do it.

You're doing well.

Sergeant...

I do not know what the lieutenant has in mind,

but in my opinion,

this is the ideal situation for a catapult.

A catapult?

Yes, this craft that the Romans used.

It is a classic weapon.

Just a few wheels, boards...

But, do you know how to build a catapult?

- Yes. - Of course, you know.

There are boards everywhere, get to work!

- But... - It's an order!

Well, my captain.

A catapult...

Now I will know where to find you to marry you.

I would rather be hanged!

Warning. That's what's hanging over you.

Remember it.

Selous, attach logs to the carts.

We will put them in the water.

Geary, dig a ditch and let in the water. At work !

Bannerman, you know the powder.

The 11th we left barrels.

Go scout, Monk.

There is no soul alive.

Could the boat have brought the locals and the gold with?

No chance. No imminent departure.

I see the wagons here.

Too easy, it is surely a trap.

It's possible.

We got their weapons and they did not have to find any.

So open your eyes!

Shoot everything that moves.

Here they are.

Get ready.

Ready?

Bomb them!

Fire!

Did you hear, Queeg?

It may be too late.

Captain, land us. We will go on foot.

On the front deck!

- They are women ! - So what ?

Dirty renegade! You dare shoot women?

That's it, Lieutenant!

We will not shoot a woman, whether she is spying or not.

Flank him two heels

and take a boat to the next pier.

It's nothing, but it will protect you.

Oh, thank you, sergeant.

It's very nice of you.

Now, back off and turn around. Turn around !

But what are you doing?

Put it afloat. I'm going down the river.

Come on, I had faith in the fair sex.

You will find it again. On the way !

Yes Madam !

Put it in the water!

- You do not change your mind? - I said, "To the water!"

Goodbye, Jared darling. Write me !

Enjoy your bath, I'll be a little busy!

- She trapped me. - Never mind, let's finish it. Come.

Fire!

Fire!

Fold back!

Good…

This time, go to the carts! Go!

They are heading towards the river!

Come...

Selous, take care of him.

Here are others. Come on girls.

You can never rely on anyone!

Go girls. At work !

Pump girls, pump!

Stop the fire!

Well, that's for my uniform!

- General Willoughby? - Yes, 2nd class Brackenby!

Stop the fire!

Stop the fire!

Well, what a nice surprise, general.

- Help me go back! - But of course.

I will be honored, ma'am.

But how did you fall in there?

That's a very good question.

Captain, on the way! I take gold to the South.

- Just a moment. - You risk your life.

It's hard to follow you Martha Lou.

- Oh, Jared. - Honey, how are you?

I am doing very well.

- I'm sorry, Jared. - No, he's not loaded.

- Jared, I could have killed you. - And me too !

Thank you for missing.

Our children would not have forgiven you.

Colonel, that's 30 bursts.

That... the...

Very well. Stop the fire.
