Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:31,358 --> 00:01:36,262
I, uh, hate to bust in on your reverie,
but there still is some work to be done.
2
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:39,423
Don't get yourself
excited, I'll get to it.
3
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,970
- Something bothering you?
- You know what's bothering me.
4
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:47,301
Oh, not that again. We have
been over that eleventeen times.
5
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:50,034
Now you definitely decided
you wasn't gonna go.
6
00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:52,873
Yeah, well, I just
undecided myself.
7
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:55,746
Oh, look, I don't mind
you driving yourself loco,
8
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:58,215
but you're beginning
to get to me.
9
00:01:58,385 --> 00:02:03,824
For the last time, it ain't gonna do
you a bit of good to go to Fort Mason.
10
00:02:03,991 --> 00:02:07,189
As your good friend,
I'm telling you that.
11
00:02:07,361 --> 00:02:11,230
Besides, as somebody with
a few more years’ experience,
12
00:02:11,398 --> 00:02:13,458
I'm telling you you're
gonna get over it.
13
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:18,499
Besides that, as your boss, I'm
telling you I need you on the job.
14
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:26,978
Thank you very kindly, Mr. Friend,
Mr. Experience and Mr. Boss.
15
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:29,981
- I'll be back on the job in the morning.
- Hey, now.
16
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,517
We talked this all over before
you even started the drive.
17
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:34,712
And you told me you
wasn't gonna go to the fort,
18
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:37,016
you was gonna
stay with the herd.
19
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:38,522
I said that?
20
00:02:38,692 --> 00:02:42,720
Ah, just goes to show you, listening
to me can get you in all kinds of trouble.
21
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:47,531
All right. You... You're fired!
22
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:50,694
And you better show
up tomorrow, hear?
23
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,288
Corporal of the guard!
24
00:03:47,461 --> 00:03:49,589
Post Number One.
Rider being chased!
25
00:03:49,763 --> 00:03:53,222
Corporal of the guard,
Post Number One!
26
00:04:21,328 --> 00:04:25,390
The blazes is going on around here?
They darn near made my hat too big.
27
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:28,326
We kind of hoped you'd be able to
tell us. How far back they jump you?
28
00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:30,562
- Oh, couple of minutes.
- Third time.
29
00:04:30,737 --> 00:04:32,638
- Huh?
- They never really hurt anybody,
30
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:35,207
they just come close enough
to scare a man half to death.
31
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:37,742
You know, I wished we'd
know if we was at war or not.
32
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:41,643
You know, we got orders to shoot
in the air, least till they kill somebody.
33
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:43,909
Oh, swell. Thanks.
34
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:47,782
Well, they're not really breaking
the treaty. Just kind of flirting with it.
35
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,822
You want something special or just
a place to sit down and stop shaking?
36
00:04:51,491 --> 00:04:55,189
Uh, well, a little of both.
Lieutenant Maclntosh around here?
37
00:04:55,362 --> 00:04:57,354
Right inside.
38
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:02,700
- Hello, Yates.
- Scot. Lots of change happening.
39
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:06,328
Things were lot more peaceful
last time you were around here.
40
00:05:18,218 --> 00:05:19,982
Used to have a lot of
brass around this post.
41
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:21,673
What happened?
They all go on furlough?
42
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:24,417
Brigade headquarters
moved on to Fort Blake.
43
00:05:24,591 --> 00:05:26,150
No more generals?
No more colonels?
44
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:30,491
Nor majors nor captains. Just
me and two junior lieutenants.
45
00:05:31,398 --> 00:05:33,765
Are you here for
a reason, Yates?
46
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:36,369
Yeah, I'm here for a reason.
47
00:05:36,536 --> 00:05:38,732
I wanna see Captain Ballinger.
48
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:41,397
Oh, you think Mr. Ballinger
will wanna see you?
49
00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:43,407
Mister?
50
00:05:43,577 --> 00:05:46,604
Yeah, yeah, I think
he wants to see me.
51
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:51,013
You testified at his court-martial.
Man may have feelings about it.
52
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:54,883
Look, Scot, we've known
each other a long time.
53
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:56,415
Why don't you quit
horsing around?
54
00:05:56,556 --> 00:05:59,685
You sound like you were reading
right out of one of those Army manuals.
55
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,590
It doesn't change
what I said, Rowdy.
56
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:04,321
George Ballinger hasn't
mentioned you since the trial.
57
00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:06,022
He's mentioned me.
58
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:09,727
Got a letter from him right here.
Said he wanted me to come up.
59
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:13,763
I know. Came through my office.
60
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,142
But I'm surprised you came.
61
00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:21,011
Yeah, so am I.
62
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:25,414
Isn't gonna be easy facing
up to a man you helped convict.
63
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:27,986
Especially when
he's your friend.
64
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:30,647
I'll just...
65
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:32,554
I'll just see him
and be moving on.
66
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:34,354
All right.
67
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:39,332
Uh, the herd I'm
with, south of here.
68
00:06:39,599 --> 00:06:43,229
This Indian thing, is that
looking, uh... Looking bad?
69
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:44,837
Maybe.
70
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:47,668
I think Gil Favor, the trail
boss, ought to know about it.
71
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,333
He's planning on
passing by real near.
72
00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:53,813
I'll risk trying to get
a man through to him.
73
00:06:54,848 --> 00:06:57,682
- Thanks, Scot.
- All right.
74
00:06:57,851 --> 00:07:02,084
Uh, how long does George have?
75
00:07:03,957 --> 00:07:05,755
Oh, not long.
76
00:07:06,159 --> 00:07:08,924
Soon as I get word his
sentence is confirmed,
77
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:10,188
I have to hang him.
78
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:41,591
Lieutenant Maclntosh's
permission to see the prisoner.
79
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:44,196
I'll have to have your gun, sir.
80
00:07:54,007 --> 00:07:56,169
- Hello, Rowdy.
- George. How you feeling?
81
00:07:56,343 --> 00:07:58,403
Well, under the circumstances...
82
00:07:58,578 --> 00:08:00,378
I hear you had a little
trouble on the way in.
83
00:08:00,547 --> 00:08:03,915
Yeah. More than just a little.
You know anything about it?
84
00:08:04,084 --> 00:08:06,713
Well, I'm not the garrison
commander anymore.
85
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,548
Well, still doesn't
mean you don't know.
86
00:08:08,722 --> 00:08:10,623
Well, you know the
territory as well as I do.
87
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:13,658
The old Indians are all dead or
tired. The young ones are het up
88
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,456
because their nation
status has been taken away.
89
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:20,623
Yeah. Yeah, well, lot of people
lost a lot siding with the Confederacy.
90
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,962
Indians have a hard time
understanding about punishment
91
00:08:23,136 --> 00:08:25,332
for something that
happened a long time ago.
92
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:28,805
Maybe I can understand that
better than most men, considering...
93
00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:31,570
Here, get the dust
out of your gullet.
94
00:08:31,945 --> 00:08:36,007
George, you asked me to
come over here and I did.
95
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,549
What...? What can I do?
96
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:40,050
Well, Rowdy,
97
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,086
how long have we been friends?
98
00:08:43,323 --> 00:08:44,382
Long time.
99
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,424
Unless some miracle happens,
100
00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:52,123
Rowdy, I'm gonna hang soon,
101
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:54,529
a day, maybe two.
102
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:58,532
I only wrote you because I
need a friend to be with me.
103
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,069
Even a friend who
helped hang you?
104
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:07,611
Well, you did what you had
to do. I don't grudge you that.
105
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:10,882
Getting killed in
action, that's one thing.
106
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:13,680
I used to get a little
scared in a skirmish,
107
00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:15,685
but there was so much
noise and shouting
108
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:19,087
and gunfire and
confusion and other people.
109
00:09:20,627 --> 00:09:22,755
Well, this is
gonna be different.
110
00:09:25,632 --> 00:09:27,726
This is gonna be quiet...
111
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:30,800
and sure and lonely.
112
00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:34,858
I know you've got business
elsewhere. This can't be pleasant for you.
113
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:40,174
But I'm asking you to stay
till it's over. I need a friend.
114
00:09:41,981 --> 00:09:44,177
Well, George, I, uh...
115
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,979
The boss let me ride on ahead,
116
00:09:47,353 --> 00:09:49,481
but he might not go along
on me staying too long.
117
00:09:49,656 --> 00:09:51,852
You don't know
what it's been like,
118
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:55,527
being all alone. I've
been shut up for so long.
119
00:09:55,695 --> 00:09:58,062
Writing letters, making appeals.
120
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:01,998
The division commander, the
Army commander, Washington,
121
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:06,697
appeal and rejection,
re-examining the evidence,
122
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:09,399
trying to get that
sentence commuted.
123
00:10:09,576 --> 00:10:12,774
And these same four walls,
month after month after month.
124
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,848
You know how long it's been,
Rowdy? A year and a half.
125
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:17,950
I find myself almost
hoping for an Indian attack.
126
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:21,316
Leastways, they may
burn these walls down.
127
00:10:22,188 --> 00:10:24,987
Well, burning can't be
any better than hanging.
128
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:26,592
Oh, I wouldn't burn.
129
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,955
You know they let
prisoners go during an attack.
130
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:31,360
And as good a soldier as I am...
131
00:10:31,531 --> 00:10:33,466
As I was.
132
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,200
The idea of an attack with
a chance for me to get away
133
00:10:36,336 --> 00:10:38,328
starts to look
pretty attractive.
134
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:41,268
George,
135
00:10:41,441 --> 00:10:44,639
- I just don't know what to say.
- Well, stay.
136
00:10:44,911 --> 00:10:47,210
For a little while, at least?
137
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:49,607
I'm a pretty poor host. You
ride all this way to see me
138
00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:52,480
and I don't even give you a
chance for a meal and a wash.
139
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:56,180
- I could sure use both.
- Well, come back soon.
140
00:10:56,356 --> 00:10:57,847
Okay.
141
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,820
You know where to find me.
142
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,986
Heh. Pretty poor joke.
143
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:32,887
- It's nice to see you.
- Wingate.
144
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:35,259
- Have you been to see Ballinger?
- Yeah, I've seen him.
145
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:37,387
It's too bad. Really, too bad.
146
00:11:37,564 --> 00:11:40,159
A fine man. I hate
to see him hanged.
147
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,359
That's more I can
say of some people.
148
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:44,470
But then there's nothing
like a good hanging
149
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:46,629
to take your mind
off your troubles.
150
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:52,877
- What can I get you? A drink?
- No, no. Food, mostly.
151
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:55,648
I still got one of the back
rooms I can let you have.
152
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:57,113
No, I'm not gonna be staying.
153
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:59,149
Maybe just change
my clothes, that's all.
154
00:11:59,319 --> 00:12:02,517
- Oh, you're not staying?
- No, I'm not.
155
00:12:02,689 --> 00:12:06,854
All right, Yates. Well, just sit down.
I'll get you something from the kitchen.
156
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:17,001
Mr. Yates. ROWDY: Mrs. Morton.
157
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:25,569
I didn't expect to see you here.
158
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,510
Well, I guess I could
say the same thing.
159
00:12:28,681 --> 00:12:32,140
- Living over in Arkansas, I hear.
- Yes.
160
00:12:33,019 --> 00:12:35,215
Oh, please, sit down.
161
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:39,348
What can you do?
162
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,594
The post has
changed a lot, hasn't it?
163
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:44,094
Yeah, it sure has.
164
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:49,563
No more bustle of headquarters,
no more visiting rank.
165
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,534
Even the troops are new.
166
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:54,272
Yeah, well, everything changes.
167
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:58,704
How about a song, Johnny?
168
00:13:00,046 --> 00:13:03,483
Oh, don't you remember
Sweet Betsy from Pike?
169
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:08,179
Tell me, are you, um, passing
through here on your way somewhere?
170
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:09,378
No.
171
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:13,050
I don't mean to
pry in, Mrs. Morton,
172
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:16,788
but, uh, Arkansas
is 500 miles away.
173
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:19,857
I'm keeping a promise,
174
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:21,331
Mr. Yates.
175
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:23,227
That so?
176
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:27,807
I'm here to see your good
friend Captain Ballinger hang.
177
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,437
Look, I don't mean to offend,
178
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:35,172
but coming through Indian
trouble and everything else
179
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:36,816
just to see a man hang?
180
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:40,550
Captain Ballinger shot
and killed my husband.
181
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:43,679
Not exactly the roast
beef of merry old England,
182
00:13:43,856 --> 00:13:45,722
but I think you'll enjoy it.
183
00:13:46,993 --> 00:13:49,895
You should have been in the
theater. You missed your true calling.
184
00:13:50,063 --> 00:13:53,158
Come on, Johnny, another one.
- How's this?
185
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:55,900
We Will hang old
Captain Ballinger
186
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:57,662
As soon as we have time
187
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:02,002
We'll string him up and drop
him down Some morning about 9
188
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:05,703
The carpenter will stuff him
In that long box made of pine
189
00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:09,906
And old Captain Ballinger
Will pay up for his crime
190
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:13,076
Old Captain Ballinger
Old Captain Ballinger
191
00:14:13,252 --> 00:14:16,518
- Maybe they know another song.
- Uh, gently, Yates.
192
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:19,716
They're newly arrived here. They
never even knew Captain Ballinger.
193
00:14:19,892 --> 00:14:20,916
I'll take care of it.
194
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:22,271
Old Captain Ballinger
195
00:14:22,295 --> 00:14:25,163
Old Captain Ballinger
Will pay up for his crime
196
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:28,995
Listen, man, we had enough
of that music. Now, drink up.
197
00:14:40,012 --> 00:14:42,914
- That room you were talking about.
- Yes?
198
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,209
I'll take it.
199
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:46,343
All right.
200
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:12,645
I was afraid you had gone.
201
00:15:12,812 --> 00:15:16,271
No, I decided to stick
around for a while.
202
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:18,141
Thanks.
203
00:15:18,651 --> 00:15:20,984
Sure looks like they're
expecting trouble.
204
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:22,850
Yeah, I find myself
wanting to give orders.
205
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:26,288
Deployment of forward scouts,
reinforcement of the walls...
206
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:28,485
Once a soldier...
207
00:15:29,328 --> 00:15:31,808
It's kind of stupid of me, worrying
about the defense of a post
208
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:34,092
that will very soon hang me.
209
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:36,429
Is there any chance at all?
210
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:40,333
Unless the next dispatch rider comes
in with a reversal of the sentence.
211
00:15:40,506 --> 00:15:42,566
It's a slim chance...
212
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:44,836
but it is a chance.
213
00:15:46,212 --> 00:15:48,272
You recognize that?
214
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:54,218
Married noncoms quarters.
215
00:15:55,855 --> 00:15:58,415
Feels like a million years ago.
216
00:16:12,805 --> 00:16:15,036
Wagon approaching!
217
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,506
Just a few minutes.
Just a few more minutes.
218
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:20,703
Take it easy, George,
219
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,544
before you get charged with conduct
unbecoming a garrison commander.
220
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:27,277
Listen, nobody's gonna charge a
man who's seeing his wife and son
221
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:30,390
for the first time in two years.
They wouldn't care if I did cartwheels.
222
00:16:30,556 --> 00:16:32,436
The boy hasn't seen you
since he was a year old.
223
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,584
The sight of a grown man
spinning on the ground
224
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,490
will probably set
his growth back a bit.
225
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:41,980
She doesn't know you'll be here.
226
00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:44,069
- I didn't tell her. ROWDY:
She probably knows.
227
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:46,638
Being good friends and
being within a 500-mile range,
228
00:16:46,806 --> 00:16:49,105
she probably figures
I'd drop by to say hello.
229
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:55,212
I'm anxious for you
to meet that boy.
230
00:16:55,381 --> 00:16:57,213
West Point material
if I ever saw.
231
00:16:57,517 --> 00:17:02,455
At 3? Oh, come on, they're taking
junior officers young nowadays.
232
00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:14,365
- Carol? If she's prettying herself up...
- Sir.
233
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:16,127
- What do you think you're doing?
- Sir.
234
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:18,931
Please don't go near
that wagon yet. Please.
235
00:17:19,105 --> 00:17:21,836
- What is it? What's the matter?
- We met the train, like you said.
236
00:17:22,008 --> 00:17:23,601
- Weren't they on it?
- Yes, they were.
237
00:17:23,776 --> 00:17:27,144
We loaded up and started
to move out, but, sir...
238
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:28,837
They sick?
239
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:31,175
- Are they're hurt?
- There was an accident. Yesterday.
240
00:17:31,317 --> 00:17:32,649
Their wagon turned over.
241
00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:35,258
Did you get them to a doctor?
Where are they? I'll go to them.
242
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:37,755
- Where are they?
- They're dead, sir.
243
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:42,454
Both of them.
244
00:17:44,664 --> 00:17:45,962
The horses bolted.
245
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:49,367
Before we could stop them,
they ran through a gully.
246
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:51,797
You let them run away?
247
00:17:52,138 --> 00:17:53,970
No, sir, we stayed
right with them.
248
00:17:56,342 --> 00:17:59,073
Mrs. Ballinger
and the little boy,
249
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:00,577
they didn't feel anything.
250
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:04,144
Killed outright.
251
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,145
Where are they buried, sergeant?
252
00:18:10,222 --> 00:18:12,987
I... I brought them
back here, sir.
253
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,353
Figured you'd want them
in the fort burying ground.
254
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:56,427
George.
255
00:18:56,669 --> 00:18:59,036
George, that won't do any good.
256
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:02,899
Come on.
257
00:19:03,943 --> 00:19:05,411
I'm sorry, sir.
258
00:19:05,578 --> 00:19:07,843
I did the best I could.
259
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:20,123
Chaplain said some
nice things at the funeral.
260
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:23,395
Yeah, words.
261
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:25,155
That's true.
262
00:19:27,633 --> 00:19:29,625
She's dead.
263
00:19:30,202 --> 00:19:34,367
It's not fair. Soldiers die and
old folks die, but not Carol.
264
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:36,702
Not my little boy.
265
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:40,541
George, you got a...
266
00:19:40,780 --> 00:19:42,271
You got a garrison
you gotta run here.
267
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,609
Everybody else is alive.
268
00:19:44,784 --> 00:19:47,811
Everybody except
Carol and little George.
269
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:50,455
He's West Point
material. Did I tell you that?
270
00:19:51,657 --> 00:19:52,852
Yeah, I believe you did.
271
00:19:53,092 --> 00:19:54,651
Then why's he dead?
272
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:57,991
George, why don't you
get some sleep, huh?
273
00:19:58,164 --> 00:20:00,292
Lie down and get some sleep.
274
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,230
Why are they dead, Rowdy?
275
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:05,696
Why are they dead and
Sergeant Morton's still alive?
276
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:09,433
Sergeant Morton did the best
he could. He's not to blame.
277
00:20:09,608 --> 00:20:13,010
He was responsible. I gave
him a mission. He failed it.
278
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:16,081
Look, it's nobody's
fault, George.
279
00:20:16,282 --> 00:20:18,342
They were his responsibility.
280
00:20:18,517 --> 00:20:20,748
Get some sleep, will you?
281
00:20:21,387 --> 00:20:23,322
You can't change anything.
282
00:20:23,489 --> 00:20:24,729
You got enough on your mind now
283
00:20:24,857 --> 00:20:26,883
without thinking about
whose fault it was.
284
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:28,357
It was the sergeant's fault.
285
00:20:28,527 --> 00:20:30,393
Nobody's.
286
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,259
Get some sleep, huh?
287
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:53,515
Carol.
288
00:20:53,886 --> 00:20:56,583
Honey, don't hide from me.
289
00:20:57,723 --> 00:21:01,160
Don't take time to
pretty yourself up now.
290
00:21:02,161 --> 00:21:04,392
It's been so long.
291
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:09,158
Carol, come on out of the wagon.
292
00:21:10,503 --> 00:21:13,439
Carol, honey, where are you?
293
00:21:14,507 --> 00:21:16,442
Carol!
294
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:19,479
Carol!
295
00:21:56,215 --> 00:21:58,707
Post Number One,
296
00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:01,419
all secure.
297
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,053
Post Number Two,
298
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:06,692
all secure.
299
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,095
Post Number Three,
300
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:12,458
all secure.
301
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:15,433
Post Number Four,
302
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:17,536
all secure.
303
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:23,198
Captain, sir...
304
00:22:24,577 --> 00:22:26,705
Oh, no. No.
305
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:39,824
Corporal of the guard,
Post Number One!
306
00:22:39,992 --> 00:22:41,085
Rider being chased!
307
00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:43,286
Corporal of the guard,
Post Number One!
308
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:45,487
War party!
309
00:22:56,609 --> 00:22:57,702
Official mail.
310
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:01,476
Man, whoever told
me this was a mail run?
311
00:23:01,647 --> 00:23:03,582
Go and get some rest.
312
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:05,240
Sir.
313
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:13,120
Sergeant, inform Lieutenant
Tendall to take out a patrol
314
00:23:13,292 --> 00:23:16,285
- and offer assistance to all settlers.
- Yes, sir.
315
00:23:16,462 --> 00:23:18,522
Are we at war, sir?
316
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:20,063
Not yet.
317
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:22,360
Brigade is meeting
with the chiefs now.
318
00:23:22,534 --> 00:23:25,971
Negotiations fail, we're to
be prepared for a full attack.
319
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:27,572
Inform the men.
320
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:29,368
Very good, sir.
321
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:33,071
Yeah, maybe we ought
to walk over that way, huh?
322
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:36,909
Well, this is my exercise area.
323
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:39,381
Start shooting if we
walk over there, will you?
324
00:23:39,551 --> 00:23:41,611
No, sir, go right ahead.
325
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:52,930
Sorry, George.
326
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:54,828
Verdict and sentence confirmed.
327
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,492
To be carried out
as soon as possible.
328
00:24:12,484 --> 00:24:14,544
Let's finish our walk.
329
00:25:25,324 --> 00:25:29,694
Thirteen years a commissioned
officer and I never had to hang anybody.
330
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:32,160
Poor Scot.
331
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:35,290
Think he'll handle it all right?
332
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:37,629
The Indian trouble.
333
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:41,364
Oh, he'll be all right.
He's a good officer.
334
00:25:44,576 --> 00:25:47,102
Look, I'm sorry, my mind's...
335
00:25:47,980 --> 00:25:49,846
on something else.
336
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:52,849
Yeah. It's no wonder.
337
00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:55,821
I saw Mrs. Morton.
338
00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:59,220
She wouldn't even let
me tell her how sorry I am.
339
00:26:00,526 --> 00:26:03,189
- Do me a favor, will you?
- Sure, if I can.
340
00:26:03,362 --> 00:26:04,625
Tell her...
341
00:26:04,797 --> 00:26:08,893
Tell her I didn't know what I was
doing. I was blind-drunk and crazy.
342
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:12,062
No matter what the
court-martial said.
343
00:26:14,306 --> 00:26:16,241
Meaning my testimony?
344
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:21,110
Well, you said what you had
to. That doesn't make it all true.
345
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:23,479
I didn't lie on that
witness stand, George.
346
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:26,778
I didn't say you did. But
there's truth, and truth.
347
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:31,117
You said you heard me talking
about killing Sergeant Morton,
348
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:33,850
not only when I was drunk
but when I was stone-sober.
349
00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:38,464
Yeah, and that's
exactly what happened.
350
00:26:42,201 --> 00:26:43,794
I know I did.
351
00:26:43,969 --> 00:26:46,268
If you say I threatened
him, I guess I did.
352
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:48,664
But I was out of my mind.
353
00:26:50,909 --> 00:26:54,505
What use is it gonna be to go
over the thing over and over?
354
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,171
What difference
will it make now?
355
00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:59,648
The difference is between
hanging and going to prison for life.
356
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:02,049
Between the two,
I'd take the latter.
357
00:27:02,221 --> 00:27:05,589
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about the sentence.
358
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:10,119
Never mind. It's too late
to do anything about it now.
359
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:11,957
I'm sorry I brought it up.
360
00:27:18,737 --> 00:27:20,399
You know something, Rowdy?
361
00:27:22,174 --> 00:27:24,405
They're building that
scaffold all wrong.
362
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:26,803
George, what...?
363
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:31,045
What would happen if I go to
Scot and changed my testimony?
364
00:27:34,086 --> 00:27:36,646
- You'd be lying.
- What would happen?
365
00:27:38,857 --> 00:27:41,088
They might change the sentence.
366
00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:46,062
Anyway, it would postpone
tomorrow's little party.
367
00:27:47,666 --> 00:27:49,931
I can't ask you to
perjure yourself, Rowdy.
368
00:27:50,102 --> 00:27:51,570
That's right, you couldn't.
369
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:55,501
And that would be all wrong.
370
00:27:56,108 --> 00:27:57,269
Yeah, it sure would.
371
00:28:00,913 --> 00:28:03,678
- Of course, if you went to Scot and...
- Hey, there's Mr. Favor.
372
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:05,511
What?
373
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:07,346
I'll be right back.
374
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:24,532
Mr. Favor?
375
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,064
Howdy, Wish.
376
00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:32,075
- Did you have trouble getting in?
- No fuss. Not a feather in sight.
377
00:28:32,244 --> 00:28:34,543
I thought you said you
was gonna be back.
378
00:28:35,180 --> 00:28:37,809
Well, things are taking a little
longer than I thought they would.
379
00:28:37,983 --> 00:28:39,952
Is that so?
380
00:28:40,118 --> 00:28:43,316
That's an ugly-looking
thing, that scaffold. Isn't it?
381
00:28:45,123 --> 00:28:48,059
I ain't never seen a pretty
one. Commanding officer in?
382
00:28:48,227 --> 00:28:50,924
Ah, he's right in here. I was
just gonna go see him myself.
383
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:54,922
But, sir, we got a 9-inch mud
cover over the powder magazine.
384
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,569
It would take an awfully
big fire to get through that.
385
00:28:58,337 --> 00:29:00,863
Sergeant, you ever do a hanging?
386
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,341
No, sir.
387
00:29:03,508 --> 00:29:05,409
I've seen a few, but I
never had to do any.
388
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:07,671
I guess we'll have to
go by the book, then.
389
00:29:07,846 --> 00:29:09,439
I'll read it first, then you.
390
00:29:09,615 --> 00:29:10,844
With your permission, sir,
391
00:29:11,016 --> 00:29:15,249
couldn't we wait until
this Indian trouble is over
392
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:18,652
and send the captain over to brigade
headquarters and let them do it?
393
00:29:18,824 --> 00:29:20,588
That's not the way my
orders read, sergeant.
394
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:31,394
Ah, Lieutenant, uh, Maclntosh,
this here is Gil Favor. He's my boss.
395
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:33,129
This is Wishbone, our cook.
396
00:29:33,305 --> 00:29:35,865
Mr. Favor, I'm glad my
rider reached you in time.
397
00:29:36,041 --> 00:29:39,068
I got your news, thanks. We
didn't run into any hostiles.
398
00:29:39,244 --> 00:29:40,724
The herd's bedded
down nice and quiet.
399
00:29:40,879 --> 00:29:43,039
- Good.
- Just wanted to ride in and thank you
400
00:29:43,181 --> 00:29:45,026
- for sending your man.
- Think nothing of it.
401
00:29:45,050 --> 00:29:47,519
And to find out why
you didn't send an escort.
402
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:50,883
You're joking, of course.
403
00:29:51,056 --> 00:29:53,082
I never joke about
that herd, lieutenant.
404
00:29:53,258 --> 00:29:55,124
They get hungry and
they get thirsty fast.
405
00:29:55,294 --> 00:29:56,853
I got to keep them moving.
406
00:29:57,195 --> 00:29:58,823
Then keep them moving.
407
00:29:58,997 --> 00:30:01,557
South through Happiness
Pass. Skirt the whole area.
408
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:05,192
Tack on 100, maybe
120 miles to the drive?
409
00:30:05,370 --> 00:30:07,635
I didn't invent this
trouble, Mr. Favor.
410
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,604
I'm just trying to cope with it.
411
00:30:09,775 --> 00:30:11,539
I can't spare you any troops.
412
00:30:12,411 --> 00:30:14,312
I understood that it
was part of your job
413
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,675
to, uh, make sure that
there was safe passage
414
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:20,876
for any United States citizen,
for themselves and their goods.
415
00:30:21,053 --> 00:30:24,182
At least that's what, um, the
last commander here thought.
416
00:30:24,356 --> 00:30:26,416
Look, I'm the commanding
officer here now.
417
00:30:30,062 --> 00:30:32,361
I'm not gonna argue
with you, Mr. Favor.
418
00:30:32,531 --> 00:30:36,935
But I'm sitting on a powder keg
here, and I need every available man.
419
00:30:37,102 --> 00:30:40,004
If we get a full attack, this
post could be wiped out.
420
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,519
You'd be a long time
coming this way again.
421
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:45,610
- Just, uh, ten men, then.
- Impossible.
422
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:48,576
- All right, all right. Five men.
- I can't spare them.
423
00:30:48,747 --> 00:30:50,443
Five wouldn't make
much difference to you.
424
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:53,449
- But it would make a difference.
- I'm sorry.
425
00:30:53,618 --> 00:30:55,849
I am too, lieutenant.
426
00:30:56,288 --> 00:30:59,452
I guess we'll just have
to push on on our own.
427
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:00,882
You'll lose...
428
00:31:01,626 --> 00:31:03,185
if you don't go the long way.
429
00:31:03,362 --> 00:31:06,730
With you fixing it, we don't have
much chance to surely win either way,
430
00:31:06,898 --> 00:31:10,096
so we'll take our own
chances. Thank you very much.
431
00:31:11,937 --> 00:31:14,657
That great lieutenant ain't the only
one that's gonna need every man.
432
00:31:14,806 --> 00:31:16,274
You better get
saddled up right now.
433
00:31:16,441 --> 00:31:19,502
- You're heading back tonight?
- Yeah.
434
00:31:19,678 --> 00:31:22,580
Thought you told me you was
gonna be in and out of here fast.
435
00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:25,149
Yeah. Well, it's just that
things are different now.
436
00:31:25,317 --> 00:31:27,650
Yeah, they are a lot
different now. I need you.
437
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:31,620
- Look, boss, a man's gonna die.
- Yeah?
438
00:31:31,790 --> 00:31:33,986
So, what can you do
about it, Mr. Yates?
439
00:31:34,159 --> 00:31:35,650
Now get saddled up.
440
00:31:36,228 --> 00:31:38,629
I'll be there in the morning.
I'll be ready to move out.
441
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:42,300
You're giving me the idea
442
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,959
that you don't wanna
ramrod the drive no more.
443
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:56,639
That lieutenant in there looks like
he's getting ready to hang his old boss.
444
00:31:56,815 --> 00:31:58,613
You trying to do the same?
445
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:26,177
Terrible-looking
thing, isn't it?
446
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:29,837
Well, it's just boards, nails
and a rope, Mrs. Morton.
447
00:32:30,015 --> 00:32:31,608
That is until you
put a man on it.
448
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:37,487
You think I'm terrible for
coming here, don't you?
449
00:32:37,656 --> 00:32:39,454
I promised my husband I would.
450
00:32:40,058 --> 00:32:42,493
It's the last thing he heard
me say before he died.
451
00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:47,796
Look, I'm not saying Captain
Ballinger is right or anything like that.
452
00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:51,164
It's just coming all
this way to see...
453
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:54,932
What I mean is,
if during your grief,
454
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:58,008
you'd have picked up a
gun and shot the captain,
455
00:32:58,176 --> 00:32:59,337
you might have felt better.
456
00:32:59,511 --> 00:33:01,912
But after all this time,
I just don't understand.
457
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,571
I have a right.
458
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:05,273
That's right, you do.
459
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:10,982
Well, anyway, it won't
be long, it will be all over,
460
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:13,091
and you can go
on about your life.
461
00:33:15,227 --> 00:33:18,129
You have a nice
place in Arkansas?
462
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:20,298
Yes.
463
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:22,366
Small, but nice.
464
00:33:22,534 --> 00:33:27,234
A little farm, little house,
barn, and 15 acres.
465
00:33:28,406 --> 00:33:31,672
Well, it sounds like a nice
life for you and the boy.
466
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:33,675
Wasn't easy at first.
467
00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:38,810
Mostly I just sat home
and kept to myself.
468
00:33:38,984 --> 00:33:41,112
My neighbors were
always calling me.
469
00:33:41,286 --> 00:33:46,452
Wanted to help. Asking me
to play parties, barn raisings.
470
00:33:46,625 --> 00:33:49,959
I always thanked them very
kindly, but I really didn't wanna go.
471
00:33:52,597 --> 00:33:57,035
Then Mr. Patrick, he's my
neighbor next farm over.
472
00:33:57,202 --> 00:34:01,799
He said... Well, he'd get me out
if it was at the end of a shotgun.
473
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:03,441
They're very nice people.
474
00:34:04,943 --> 00:34:06,206
Yeah.
475
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,906
Sounds like this
Mr. Patrick is a smart man.
476
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:13,245
I mean, sitting around feeling sorry
for yourself, it's no good for anybody.
477
00:34:13,418 --> 00:34:18,322
That's what he said. He's a
mighty nice man. A widower.
478
00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:21,893
Fact is he'd like to marry me.
479
00:34:24,596 --> 00:34:26,064
You mean...
480
00:34:27,332 --> 00:34:29,631
You mean, you're staying
around to watch a hanging
481
00:34:29,801 --> 00:34:31,667
to get your vengeance?
482
00:34:31,836 --> 00:34:33,476
And you're thinking
about another husband?
483
00:34:34,306 --> 00:34:35,831
You must understand, Mr. Yates.
484
00:34:36,007 --> 00:34:38,841
I had fixed it in my mind
to come to this hanging.
485
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,707
The farm and Mr. Patrick, I didn't
even know about those things.
486
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,940
I had fixed this in my mind!
487
00:34:46,051 --> 00:34:49,647
- Well, I hope you enjoy yourself.
- I'll hate it.
488
00:34:49,821 --> 00:34:52,188
And I knew that
before I spoke to you.
489
00:34:53,525 --> 00:34:54,549
I've been ashamed
490
00:34:54,726 --> 00:34:57,025
to look Captain Ballinger
in the face since I got here.
491
00:34:57,762 --> 00:34:59,822
I wish I was home. I do. I...
492
00:35:01,499 --> 00:35:03,968
What are you staying around for?
493
00:35:19,718 --> 00:35:21,812
Thought you might be asleep.
494
00:35:22,687 --> 00:35:24,656
Well, it's kind
of hard to sleep.
495
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,184
All that noise
going on out there.
496
00:35:29,661 --> 00:35:31,425
Talked to Mrs. Morton.
497
00:35:32,030 --> 00:35:35,626
She said she doesn't hold any personal
vengeance towards you anymore.
498
00:35:37,102 --> 00:35:38,798
I'm glad.
499
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:43,808
Well...
500
00:35:45,310 --> 00:35:48,144
They stopped. Should
be a little quieter now.
501
00:35:49,714 --> 00:35:51,114
Yeah.
502
00:36:02,427 --> 00:36:04,987
Rowdy, you want these boots
after tomorrow? They're good boots.
503
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:08,228
Uh, George, these are fine.
504
00:36:09,234 --> 00:36:11,931
Yeah, they probably
wouldn't fit you, anyway.
505
00:36:12,103 --> 00:36:14,732
Anything else you want? I told
Scot you were to have your pick.
506
00:36:14,906 --> 00:36:16,397
The rest go to the men.
507
00:36:17,409 --> 00:36:18,672
Thanks.
508
00:36:20,345 --> 00:36:22,143
Last minute details
have to be taken care of.
509
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:26,045
You'd be surprised what you
have to think of before you die.
510
00:36:31,289 --> 00:36:33,281
I'm sorry I have to die.
511
00:36:36,661 --> 00:36:38,220
I'm scared of it.
512
00:36:40,398 --> 00:36:42,867
But more than that, I don't
wanna leave this world.
513
00:36:44,436 --> 00:36:46,871
In prison, at least
you can breathe air,
514
00:36:47,972 --> 00:36:49,372
eat food,
515
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:52,334
hear men talk.
516
00:36:56,247 --> 00:36:58,113
You know what, Rowdy?
517
00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:01,452
Tomorrow morning, they're
gonna put a rope around my neck.
518
00:37:06,091 --> 00:37:08,856
I'm gonna be executed
because I killed a man.
519
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,095
I'm sorry I killed him,
520
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:16,464
but I was out of my mind.
521
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:24,103
Funny thing is I killed him
because I thought he killed my wife.
522
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:29,205
And you know what, I can't
help it, but it's true. My wife...
523
00:37:31,516 --> 00:37:33,781
I can hardly remember her face.
524
00:37:40,792 --> 00:37:44,194
I'm gonna go have a talk
with Scot Maclntosh, George.
525
00:38:16,461 --> 00:38:19,021
Back from patrol,
sir, with prisoners.
526
00:38:19,664 --> 00:38:22,862
Prisoners? What's
your report, lieutenant?
527
00:38:23,034 --> 00:38:26,971
They were following us. Not within
range or anything, just following.
528
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:29,801
I ordered a quick wheel
and we scooped them in.
529
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:31,465
Did they fire on you?
530
00:38:31,643 --> 00:38:32,838
No, sir.
531
00:38:34,045 --> 00:38:35,570
Did they resist
when you took them?
532
00:38:36,114 --> 00:38:37,241
No, sir.
533
00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:43,184
Well, what in blazes did they
do? Bruise you with their shadows?
534
00:38:44,355 --> 00:38:45,755
Let them go.
535
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:49,483
- What, sir?
- I said, let them go.
536
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:50,720
They've done nothing.
537
00:38:51,462 --> 00:38:53,158
But we're at war, sir.
538
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:55,226
Who told you that, lieutenant?
539
00:38:56,134 --> 00:38:59,195
Well, no one,
sir, but I thought...
540
00:38:59,370 --> 00:39:01,669
We're not at war until we're
told by the War Department,
541
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,433
or if we're attacked.
542
00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:06,009
Now turn those Indians loose.
543
00:39:13,885 --> 00:39:16,218
I might have done
the same thing, Scot.
544
00:39:17,121 --> 00:39:19,181
Yeah, a year ago, so would I.
545
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,155
You got a minute?
546
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,494
If you're gonna pressure me into
giving your herd an escort, forget it.
547
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:27,689
No, it's about George.
548
00:39:32,403 --> 00:39:34,269
Throw yourself down someplace.
549
00:39:34,439 --> 00:39:36,738
- You want a drink?
- No, I don't believe I do.
550
00:39:36,908 --> 00:39:38,376
Well, I do.
551
00:39:41,446 --> 00:39:44,678
Now, uh, what about George?
552
00:39:45,483 --> 00:39:49,181
Well, seeing him and
talking to him like this
553
00:39:49,354 --> 00:39:52,381
got me to recalling
about the trial.
554
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:55,721
About what the prosecuting
officer was asking me.
555
00:39:57,195 --> 00:40:00,222
You mean about the threats George
made against Sergeant Morton?
556
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:01,457
Yeah.
557
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:05,832
You remember I told the court that
George was drunk and out of his head.
558
00:40:06,004 --> 00:40:08,974
And that prosecuting
officer, he asked me, uh,
559
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:11,632
if he'd made any
threats before the funeral,
560
00:40:11,809 --> 00:40:13,505
before he got drunk.
561
00:40:13,678 --> 00:40:15,510
And I said he had, of course.
562
00:40:16,180 --> 00:40:18,911
We all realized how difficult
it was for you to admit it.
563
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:21,316
Well, it's not just that.
564
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,612
It was this testimony by me
565
00:40:24,789 --> 00:40:28,658
that, uh, made the prosecuting
officer call it premeditation.
566
00:40:31,763 --> 00:40:33,493
Well, I just don't know.
567
00:40:34,666 --> 00:40:35,827
You don't know what?
568
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:40,637
I don't know if it
was premeditated.
569
00:40:41,472 --> 00:40:44,704
Now that I think back on it, I
remember things a little differently.
570
00:40:46,210 --> 00:40:48,236
Like George was
sober, all right,
571
00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:50,439
but he had the smell
of whiskey on his breath
572
00:40:50,615 --> 00:40:52,345
and he was acting strange.
573
00:40:52,917 --> 00:40:55,853
He was acting different,
not like he normally was.
574
00:40:57,522 --> 00:40:59,320
What are you trying
to say, Rowdy?
575
00:41:00,525 --> 00:41:02,892
I wanna change my testimony.
576
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:07,294
You'll be charged with
perjury if you're lying.
577
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:14,500
Tell your sergeant
to call the hanging off.
578
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,271
- Sit down, Rowdy.
- Look...
579
00:41:17,442 --> 00:41:18,910
I said, sit down.
580
00:41:24,449 --> 00:41:26,111
I know what you're trying to do.
581
00:41:26,284 --> 00:41:27,809
I just wanna change
my testimony.
582
00:41:27,986 --> 00:41:29,921
You're trying to
save George's life.
583
00:41:30,421 --> 00:41:33,084
- All right, so I am.
- It won't work.
584
00:41:33,791 --> 00:41:36,488
You're not supposed to
judge whether I'm lying or not.
585
00:41:36,661 --> 00:41:40,325
All you gotta do is just call off
that hanging and turn in the report.
586
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:42,091
I said, it won't work.
587
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:45,259
What makes you
so all-fired sure?
588
00:41:45,436 --> 00:41:47,200
What, you wanna hang him?
589
00:41:47,805 --> 00:41:49,535
You know me better than that.
590
00:41:50,408 --> 00:41:53,936
There are facts on record
that would prove you are lying.
591
00:41:54,112 --> 00:41:56,638
Facts in writing that went
before the review board.
592
00:41:57,315 --> 00:41:59,181
Facts that
confirmed the verdict.
593
00:41:59,784 --> 00:42:02,618
George Ballinger would die
even without your testimony.
594
00:42:03,821 --> 00:42:06,723
Maybe you'd better tell me
about some of these facts.
595
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:09,520
You'd better pour yourself
a drink while you listen.
596
00:42:09,694 --> 00:42:11,322
No, I don't need one.
597
00:42:12,397 --> 00:42:15,458
You weren't the only one who heard
George say he'd kill the sergeant.
598
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:18,236
You were the only one
who was asked to testify,
599
00:42:18,770 --> 00:42:20,410
but you weren't the
only one who heard it.
600
00:42:20,538 --> 00:42:22,939
- Who else?
- Me.
601
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:24,575
You?
602
00:42:25,343 --> 00:42:26,367
Remember how George was
603
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:28,513
when the wagon came in
with his wife and son dead?
604
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:29,874
Yeah.
605
00:42:30,048 --> 00:42:32,176
He wasn't drunk,
and he wasn't crazy.
606
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:35,079
That didn't happen
till after the burying.
607
00:42:36,487 --> 00:42:38,683
I was his executive officer.
608
00:42:38,856 --> 00:42:41,257
What makes you think he
didn't say those things to me?
609
00:42:41,426 --> 00:42:44,055
- You never said.
- I never said a lot of things.
610
00:42:44,695 --> 00:42:48,223
Except to the investigating
officer. I had to tell him.
611
00:42:48,399 --> 00:42:49,628
I had to tell him I was afraid
612
00:42:49,801 --> 00:42:52,066
the captain would
do the sergeant harm.
613
00:42:53,538 --> 00:42:55,439
I stayed close to my captain,
614
00:42:55,807 --> 00:42:57,002
and you know what he did?
615
00:42:57,842 --> 00:42:59,572
He ordered me out on patrol.
616
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:03,779
I assigned Sergeant
Morton to my detail.
617
00:43:04,715 --> 00:43:07,116
I wanted him away from
the fort for a few days.
618
00:43:08,653 --> 00:43:11,623
Captain Ballinger personally
removed his name from the muster.
619
00:43:12,790 --> 00:43:13,814
He kept him here.
620
00:43:16,094 --> 00:43:18,620
By the time I got back,
the sergeant was dead.
621
00:43:19,597 --> 00:43:22,465
How come none of this
came out at the court-martial?
622
00:43:22,633 --> 00:43:24,727
Because your
testimony was enough.
623
00:43:25,336 --> 00:43:28,135
Nobody wanted to blacken
Ballinger's name more than it had to be.
624
00:43:28,706 --> 00:43:31,938
Oh, swell. And I'm
the Judas goat, huh?
625
00:43:32,110 --> 00:43:34,170
You people sat around in
your comfortable uniforms
626
00:43:34,345 --> 00:43:36,940
and let me lead my
friend right down to the ax.
627
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:41,509
- That's not true.
- Wasn't it?
628
00:43:42,353 --> 00:43:43,821
Rowdy...
629
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:47,251
George is my friend too.
630
00:43:47,792 --> 00:43:50,990
Sure, you're here weeping
and wailing and holding his hand,
631
00:43:51,162 --> 00:43:53,631
but tomorrow morning, you
don't have to give the order.
632
00:43:53,798 --> 00:43:55,232
You understand that?
633
00:43:56,067 --> 00:43:58,002
I have to give the
order that kills him.
634
00:43:59,504 --> 00:44:01,405
And there's nothing
I can do about it.
635
00:44:39,944 --> 00:44:43,278
- You talk to Scot?
- Yeah.
636
00:44:44,115 --> 00:44:45,708
What happened?
637
00:44:47,418 --> 00:44:51,185
How come you never told
me that you got rid of Scot?
638
00:44:52,323 --> 00:44:54,622
That you pulled Sergeant
Morton off that patrol?
639
00:44:59,764 --> 00:45:01,027
I did?
640
00:45:02,033 --> 00:45:03,592
That's what Scot says.
641
00:45:06,170 --> 00:45:08,696
I knew Scot was on patrol.
642
00:45:09,507 --> 00:45:11,747
But I don't remember keeping
Sergeant Morton on the post,
643
00:45:11,909 --> 00:45:14,435
unless I did it because he
was hurt when Carol was killed.
644
00:45:16,113 --> 00:45:17,741
It sure doesn't look that way.
645
00:45:21,319 --> 00:45:23,083
As God as my judge, Rowdy,
646
00:45:23,254 --> 00:45:26,281
if I did it so I could kill that man,
I didn't know what I was doing.
647
00:45:28,192 --> 00:45:29,285
Corporal of the guard!
648
00:45:30,361 --> 00:45:32,796
Attack. They're attacking!
649
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:48,212
There.
650
00:45:48,879 --> 00:45:51,781
- Colonel.
- Tell your men they can relax.
651
00:45:51,949 --> 00:45:54,851
- No war yet, for a while.
- Thank God.
652
00:45:55,019 --> 00:45:57,215
Haggle, haggle, talk, talk.
653
00:45:57,388 --> 00:45:59,619
We finally got to the point
where nobody could remember
654
00:45:59,790 --> 00:46:01,088
how this even got started.
655
00:46:01,259 --> 00:46:03,660
We made promises,
they made promises.
656
00:46:04,362 --> 00:46:06,422
You have anything to,
uh, drink, lieutenant?
657
00:46:07,898 --> 00:46:10,527
Yes, sir. In my quarters, sir.
658
00:46:13,337 --> 00:46:14,828
Well, that's that.
659
00:46:16,741 --> 00:46:18,733
Not even Indians to the rescue.
660
00:46:26,417 --> 00:46:28,113
You do some things for me?
661
00:46:29,086 --> 00:46:30,554
Sure.
662
00:46:32,156 --> 00:46:33,715
There's money in
the bank at Abilene.
663
00:46:33,891 --> 00:46:37,123
This letter will get it out. Would
you see it gets to Mrs. Morton?
664
00:46:37,295 --> 00:46:38,354
All right.
665
00:46:38,796 --> 00:46:40,128
Anything else?
666
00:46:47,138 --> 00:46:48,401
Yeah.
667
00:46:48,973 --> 00:46:51,238
Tell Scot I'd like
it if he'd use these.
668
00:46:56,047 --> 00:46:57,208
There's one other thing.
669
00:46:57,381 --> 00:46:59,748
I don't know whether they
plan to blindfold me or not.
670
00:47:01,986 --> 00:47:04,546
I'd rather they put
something over my head.
671
00:47:06,557 --> 00:47:08,617
I don't want anybody
to see my face.
672
00:47:12,296 --> 00:47:13,889
I'll do what I can.
673
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,831
I guess I'd like to be
alone now, Rowdy.
674
00:47:20,371 --> 00:47:21,999
I got some prayers.
675
00:47:27,912 --> 00:47:30,814
George, when you
wrote me that letter,
676
00:47:31,449 --> 00:47:33,714
you wanted me to change
my testimony, didn't you?
677
00:47:35,086 --> 00:47:36,611
Yes.
678
00:47:38,055 --> 00:47:39,785
I wanted to live...
679
00:47:41,258 --> 00:47:43,090
even if you had to be a liar.
680
00:47:45,396 --> 00:47:46,921
I tried my best.
681
00:47:48,032 --> 00:47:49,364
Yeah, I know.
682
00:47:50,768 --> 00:47:51,929
Bye, George.
683
00:47:54,438 --> 00:47:56,100
Goodbye.
684
00:47:57,341 --> 00:47:58,604
And thanks.
685
00:48:09,553 --> 00:48:10,885
Oh, God.
686
00:48:14,525 --> 00:48:15,959
Be with me.
687
00:48:25,870 --> 00:48:27,236
You wanna say goodbye to him?
688
00:48:31,842 --> 00:48:33,333
I already did.
689
00:48:35,012 --> 00:48:36,503
He wanted me to give you these.
690
00:49:01,806 --> 00:49:03,206
You're not staying?
691
00:49:04,308 --> 00:49:06,209
I can't make myself do it.
692
00:49:07,445 --> 00:49:08,936
Well, I'm glad.
693
00:49:13,584 --> 00:49:15,780
It seems strange.
694
00:49:16,554 --> 00:49:19,786
A man is gonna die. Nobody
lifts a finger to help him.
695
00:49:23,627 --> 00:49:24,822
It's awful.
696
00:49:26,664 --> 00:49:28,633
Yes, ma'am. It is.
697
00:50:21,252 --> 00:50:23,380
It worth it?
698
00:50:25,823 --> 00:50:28,088
Yeah, it was worth it.
699
00:50:37,568 --> 00:50:39,366
Head them up!
700
00:50:39,870 --> 00:50:41,361
Move them out!
