Original subtitles

Fellow citizens and compatriots, I am besieged by a thousand or more of the

Mexicans under Santa Ana.

I have sustained a continual bombardment and cannonade for 24 hours and have not

lost a man.

I shall never surrender or retreat.

Then I call on you in the name of liberty, patriotism, and everything dear

to the American character to come to our aid.

With all dispatch.

The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt increase to

three or four thousand in four or five days.

If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as

possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own

honor and that of his country.

Victory or death.

Lieutenant Colonel William Barrett Travis.

Dialamo.

You're late.

Is it safe to talk in here?

I mean, are they listening? What are you prattling all about?

Of course it's safe.

Ask me why I'm late.

Why are you late? Because I don't have a car. Ask me why I don't have a car.

Because I am too scared to get in mine because your Rittenhouse guys hacked me

while I was going 50 miles an hour.

Are you all right? Do I look all right?

Right, well, I'm sorry. They shouldn't be contacting you directly.

Is that all you have to say?

You sold me out. You had them send some goon to threaten me and my family. Wait

a minute. I'd never do that.

You're like a son to me.

Now, for you to think that I would... I don't know what to

think of you.

Well, now you know what they're capable of, you have to cooperate.

We both do.

You wanted to see me, ma'am. Thank you for coming in. I know it's late.

This is Deputy Director Patrick Ramsey, my boss at the NCTC.

Master Sergeant Logan, it's an honor.

You're a real war hero.

We've all heard what you did in Syria.

But you're replacing me.

How'd you know?

A guy like you doesn't show up unless it's to get rid of a guy like me, sir.

The job's to kill Garcia Flynn.

You just haven't gotten it done.

Maybe the next guy will.

Who are you bringing in?

Dave Baumgardner. Bam, bam.

I serve with him in Kandahar.

He'll do a good job.

I'm happy to brief him if you'd like.

For what it's worth, Agent Christopher fought like hell to keep you here.

Thank you, man.

Did I get it?

It's results-oriented business, and I haven't delivered results.

What's going on?

Clinton's gone. To March 2nd, 1836. Looks like around San Antonio.

Best days before the Alamo.

I'm from Texas.

We all know that one.

I'll call Lucy.

When's Baumgartner gonna get here?

Not soon enough.

Looks like you're taking one more trip.

I'll make the best of it, ma'am.

No, yeah, I'm on my way.

Where are you going?

Work. At this hour?

Lucy, what's so important about this new job that these Mason Industries people

need you to be there at midnight? Mom, I told you, I signed an NDA. I can't talk

about it. So I won't tell anyone.

Come on, just between you and me. It doesn't work that way, okay? I gotta go.

Lucy, I'm asking because I'm worried.

You moved back in with me. You're ignoring your fiancé, and you are

bailing on your teaching. I get how strange this all looks, and I do wish

that I could talk to you about it, but I just need you to understand.

We used to talk. Do you remember?

So talk to me. Maybe I can help you. Okay, okay. Mom, please. Because from

where I am standing, you're throwing away everything you've ever worked for.

And for what?

Lucy, I raised you better than that.

I raised you to use your head, and that Lucy has her whole life planned out.

Maybe I'm not that Lucy anymore.

Okay? Really. And let's be honest, there's a lot you're not telling me

either. Are we seriously going to do this again? You won't even tell me his

name.

I just want to know who my father is.

So, Alamo, huh?

A word synonymous with gory and inescapable death.

Wyatt, you want to say something strong and reassuring? Don't look at me.

I just got fired.

What? Yeah, this is going to be my last mission.

What'd you get fired?

How do I get fired?

I mean, you seem pretty okay with this. Yeah, well, I know the guy they're

bringing in.

He's good.

You'll like him better than me.

What if those go off in here?

They won't.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay, but still, you're bringing grenades to the Alamo.

Well, if I get one last shot at Flynn, you better believe I'm gonna take it.

What are they gonna do?

Fire me?

Quite something, isn't she?

Normally I'm jealous. I'm not going with her. Not this time.

Not this mission.

General Santa Anna.

Nice to meet you.

So you sneaked into my camp.

How are you still alive?

Well, to begin with...

From Queen Isabel II.

I also have a letter from the queen.

But it's online.

Gold from Spain, huh?

A bite?

Let's say it's a gift.

So, Isabel wants to put her spoon in it and infiltrate a spy.

I'm Colonel Flynn.

I was only sent to provide support.

Support?

I see.

And how exactly are you going to support me?

To begin with...

So are we just like walking into a war?

Relax, it's not for another four days.

When General Santa Anna and his 4,000 troops killed 180 men in less than an

hour? Right.

I just relax.

But after they were overrun, the whole remember the Alamo thing, it got

everybody all fired up, and it turned a small rebellion into a huge revolution

overnight. I mean, this battle is why there's even a state of Texas.

A bunch of famous people died here, too. Jim Bowie, the knife's named after him.

Davy Crockett.

So how do we get in?

Right through the front door.

Honestly, they're so undermanned, they'll probably take any help they can

get. So what does Flynn want?

I don't know. To make it worse, I guess?

How the hell do you make the animal worse?

No, baby. You put the killing down here like this.

See?

I expected the soldiers.

It's mostly local ranchers, farmers, families, too.

Part of me just wants to shout out, run for your lives, you know? I know.

Well, those, uh... Free men.

Slavery was outlawed in Mexico.

And this is all technically still Mexico.

At least for one more month, anyway.

Viva la Mexico.

I wouldn't say that too loud around here.

It's gotta be him.

That's Bowie.

Um, let me take a break on this, okay?

Excuse me, Colonel Bowie, sir?

Yes, ma'am. Hello, hi, I'm Lucy Preston. This is Wyatt Logan.

How do you do, sir? Wyatt?

We just arrived. We're here to volunteer.

Well, I'm glad to have you.

So you're just in from where?

The east.

San Felipe.

Oh, I've got family in San Felipe.

Oh, you do?

It's nice. It's lovely there.

Actually, we were passing through on the road from San Felipe.

Look, we're looking for a guy, tall guy, dark hair, accent. Name is Garcia Flynn.

What? I'm sorry. He's a Mexican sympathizer. This guy might have already

infiltrated the fort. He's very dangerous. Have you seen him?

I don't know.

But I will ask around.

Ma'am.

Thank you kindly.

You came in a little strong with him, didn't you? I mean, I just don't want

you to freak him out. I don't have time to play cowboy.

That bear was 10 feet tall, standing on his hind legs.

I saw him coming. All I could think was, I'm so skinny, I'm going to make piss

poor eating.

David Crockett.

Guilty.

He's got the hat.

Come on, what happened then?

Well, he roared, and he lunged for me, and I just grabbed him.

That bear locked those teeth around my arm, started chewing on it like a turkey

leg at Christmas.

What'd you do then?

Well, I wasn't going to let him finish his supper.

I fought him off and I wrestled him to the ground. You wrestled him one-handed?

Shut up, Johnny. He's telling a story. Yeah, Johnny. Oh, my God.

That's Damien Crockett.

We're not tourists.

Split up.

Scour every inch of this place. We got to find Flynn. You got it? Yes, sir.

Oh, good. There you are.

Rufus and I aren't having you look.

You?

Keep looking.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Colonel Travis?

Didn't mean to startle you, sir. Who the hell are you?

Name's Flynn.

And what are you doing in my office?

I wanted to meet you.

I'm an admirer of yours.

You see, I'm here same reason as you.

I'm a patriot.

And I know it can't be easy.

People call you a fanatic.

But what you really are is a revolutionary fighting for freedom

against a corrupt power.

And it's a lonely road.

I understand that.

I'm not that alone.

I have men who told me to look out for a tall son of a bitch with a funny accent.

Apparently, he's dangerous.

I'm sorry.

like i said i'm an admirer of yours you deserve a better fate

he's

dead this the man you warned us about did this yeah i think so

that gunshot came from the semi-automatic

Flynn was right here.

I'll find him, sir.

Not if we find him first.

Come on.

Now.

What the hell happened?

That's Colonel Travis.

He was supposed to die in battle in four days, but not now, not like this.

If he's gonna die anyway, then why did Flynn do it?

Red flag.

What's a red flag mean? It means no quarter.

No prisoners.

Execute anyone who tries to surrender, which is not supposed to happen, by the

way. Santa Ana was supposed to let the women and children go free. Am I missing

something? None of this is supposed to happen. That army isn't supposed to be

here for another three days.

I must have found a way to change it.

But why?

Must be about the letter.

What letter?

Travis's... famous victory or death letter. It's the one that was reprinted

in U.S. newspapers all over the country. It's why we remember the Alamo. It's why

they were able to defeat Santa Ana in a few weeks.

It's only two sentences.

Exactly, because Travis was killed before he was able to finish it. So, no

letter, no Texas.

Wyatt, are you even listening?

All of this, and Flynn manages to trap us in the Alamo.

Gotta hand it to him. Wyatt.

I know that you want Flynn, but we really need you right now.

Wyatt, please.

Rufus, you need to find a way out. A way out?

There's two things everybody knows about the Alamo. One, everybody dies. Two,

they die because there's no way out. The Alamo didn't have anyone as smart as

you.

Figure it out.

Make a way if you have to. We need to get the women and the children out. Same

with the letter. Well, like I said before, Travis didn't finish it. Then

finish it for him.

I'm gonna try to buy some time.

Now, boys, the general sets one foot outside that tent, and Davey here's

gonna nail him.

The man can part his hair 200 yards. Ain't that right, Davey? I'll part his

short hairs.

Daddy will.

Colonel Bowie.

Yes, sir.

A word?

Excuse me, boys.

What can I do for you?

I can help you.

I just need command of some of your men.

What was your name again?

Master Sergeant Wyatt Logan.

U.S. Army.

My friend's working on a plan to get the women and the children out, but we need

to buy him some time.

Everyone's safe for now. Thanks. Not for long, sir.

Look, don't go putting us in the ground just yet.

All right, Colonel Fannin and his troops are on their way as we speak. No.

They aren't. No reason to lose faith, son.

No one is getting out of here alive.

Do you understand me?

Santa Anna is waiting on reinforcements, and when they come, which they will

tomorrow, he's gonna come over this wall, and in 20 minutes, you're all

gonna be dead.

Wyatt. So we need to get the women and the children out. Listen to me.

I don't care how scared you are. You will not speak that way.

What do you want, Colonel?

You made the red flag.

We never talked about that.

I didn't know I had to consult with you first.

Of course not, General.

But maybe I should let go of the women and the children, since

they're innocent.

You were the one who advised me to attack early.

Who said we can't leave the letter open?

So if I let go of the women and the children... What?

Don't you run away from the word anyway?

This strategy is yours, friend.

No, no, no, no, no, it's not, it's not. Look, look.

You are a father.

I am too.

Surely you can understand that... This is a war.

There will be sacrifices.

If you don't like it, you can leave whenever you want. I can't accept this.

This is my war, not yours!

If you try to interfere, I'll tell my soldiers to kill him wherever they see

him.

Friend.

The hell's with the music?

Oh, it's meant to keep us up at night.

Me, I don't mind it.

When the music stops, that's when we gotta worry.

Psychological warfare.

Psycho what?

Nothing.

Don't suppose you know a way out of here? Sure.

Main gate.

3,000-man welcome committee out there waiting for you.

You thought that was water, did you?

There's more whiskey than water right now since Santa Ana blocked the

aqueduct.

There's an aqueduct?

Yeah.

Show me.

Great news. The aqueduct goes from the fort to the river.

here that's right there was an aqueduct system running all through this area

built in the 1740s if we can get in we can sneak the women and the children out

you let her too okay the only problem is where it connects under the chapel via

softball size hole through three feet of stone so how the hell are we supposed to

get through that i'm sorry where's the great news here how's the lighter coming

it's not I'm having the world's worst case of writer's block. I know that

there's something about patriotism and liberty and American character, I think.

You don't know?

You're the historian.

Yeah, believe it or not, I have not memorized every single letter ever

written in the history of time. And this letter, if I don't get every single word

exactly right... It's just a letter.

It's not just a letter. It's the letter that created Texas. No pressure or

anything. God, Six, you're in your own head. Just write something, anything.

It doesn't have to be exact. Oh, I can just say whatever I want, like you did

with Bully? Yes.

You say, what's in here? Quit pretending.

All this dress-up and the grade school drama and the work from San Felipe.

That's the job. That's my job. No, the job is Flynn, and I cannot do it with

all of this crap.

How am I supposed to do my job with my hands tied behind my back?

You know what? Maybe Agent Christopher is right.

Maybe I'm not the guy for the job.

I'm sorry.

Wyatt.

Hey, you don't look so bad for having a wall falling

Could've been worse.

Could've been a whole building.

Santa Ana's just softening us up.

Almost finished.

You're doing fine.

How'd your old man raise such a tough kid, huh?

Wouldn't know.

Santa Ana got him.

He made my brothers pay hard last year.

Scouts just came back.

Reported another thousand troops just joined Santa Ana's party.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm trying to get the women and children out through the aqueduct.

Just got to get through these first three feet.

You know that stone.

I am aware.

How do you do it?

How are you not screaming in terror right now?

You're not screaming in terror?

On the outside.

You're like macho at a level I can't even deal with. King of the Wild

Frontier. You wrestled a bear.

For God's sakes.

I never wrestled a bear.

What? Not even close.

But there was a bear.

What happened?

Well... I was out scouting.

I got cornered. She charged me.

I pissed myself.

Fired wild.

Fell into a creek. When I got myself up, I couldn't believe the shot took her

down.

I was scared out of my mind.

Then what'd you do?

Well, I went back and told my men that I wrestled a bear.

One-handed.

Because sometimes...

Folks need a leader who can wrestle a bear.

Now don't you go tell everybody and ruin my reputation.

So I appreciate you pulling young John out from under that wall.

You saved his life.

Anyone would have done the same.

We're not going to make it.

Colonel Fannin and his troops ain't coming.

And Santa Ana's getting his reinforcements like you said he would.

Won't be long now.

I don't like being right.

I'd give anything to get your men out of this. I just don't know how.

But I'm pretty sure that I could help save the women and the children.

You want to get them out through the aqueduct, don't you?

That Crockett saw your man banging away on the stone.

Rufus will figure it out.

But we got to buy him the time.

Well, you better tell me how.

Here's the fort.

Now, Santa Ana's men are coming over these walls, like it or not.

And if they come over all at once, it's gonna be over fast.

Maybe too fast.

So I want you to pull your men off the north wall.

Leave it undefended.

The north wall's the weakest wall.

Exactly. That's where you want Santa Ana to attack.

Your soldiers won't be getting hit on all four sides. Instead, you'll

bottleneck them right through here.

This won't stop them.

But it'll slow them down.

Hopefully long enough to get the civilians out.

You've done this before.

Haven't you?

Where?

Nowhere near here.

It was kind of like this, though.

We were pinned down.

Oh, man. Oh, God.

I'm the only one that made it out.

The men, they last long.

Wish I knew.

I left them behind.

One of us had to get this important piece of intelligence out, so...

We flipped a damn coin.

It was between me and my buddy Zachary.

We were the only two not wounded.

I'm the jerk that had the call heads.

Zach.

He said I was meant to survive.

You know, like it was fate. As if that's a thing.

So six men held off 100 fighters.

So I could escape.

I left them there to die.

And they gave me a medal for it.

Crockett.

Pull all our men.

Cannon.

Everything off the north wall.

I'm going to try and get the women and children out.

When I was young, I'd read stories about great heroes doing great deeds.

But truth is, real heroes don't look at all like I pictured.

They're far from perfect.

Bullheaded, stubborn, reckless.

And also recklessly brave.

They charge in without a thought to themselves.

Not without fear or doubt.

But in spite of it.

We are all scared.

But we are going to fight and die anyway to give everyone else a chance at a

better future.

Because the future matters.

Victory or death.

Signed, the men and women of the Alamo.

Have you ever thought of this before?

Thought of what?

So you still have those grenades.

Here

we

go.

Where are they?

Wait for the order.

Let's go.

We got our way out. Thank God.

Okay, everybody, follow him.

Follow him where?

To the chapel.

You'll be able to get out through the aqueduct. Hurry.

I need you to be brave, sweetheart. Don't let go of my hand, okay?

Here, take this.

We'll get Wyatt.

Let's go.

Lucy? Rufus did it.

There's one. Come on, let's go.

We have to go. No.

Wyatt?

Wyatt.

I'm not going.

What?

No.

What do you mean? They don't need me.

They're getting rid of me anyway, right?

You can't stay here. Everybody dies. I know.

I can't leave good men like this done again.

No.

No, Wyatt.

The difference doesn't make.

Jessica, everybody I care about is gone.

I'm into one good thing.

Let me buy you the time to get out.

What about us? We're counting on you. The next guy's gonna handle it. I don't

want anybody else.

I trust you.

You are the one that I trust.

Rufus needs you. I need you.

Okay?

You're ready to run. Okay.

Just stay low. Go straight to the river.

Keep your head down.

What took you so long? John, watch the door.

Give him the gun.

You're not John Smith by any chance, are you?

Travis's messenger?

Yes, ma'am.

I need you to come with us. You have to deliver this letter to General Houston.

No, I'm not going anywhere, ma'am. No, you have to.

We're completely overrun.

We can't hold them off much longer. We almost got them all out. We all need to

hightail it now.

You've got to come with us. Just be sure to tell everybody I fought off a

thousand of them.

One hand.

He has to take this letter to General Houston. John Smith is going to be the

first mayor of San Antonio. He has to take it.

You have to deliver this. Hell, I do. I'm not going to leave the only family I

have left.

I get it.

Believe me.

Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is to do the job.

To be the only one to have to leave.

But you have to.

Those are the orders.

Yes, sir.

Come on.

Watch the light.

Go.

No. Don't ask me to leave.

I can't leave my people.

I can't leave mine.

Hey, Sergeant.

Can't let them have it now, can I?

I can promise you that you won't die for nothing here.

The men, including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie, were killed.

But the women and children escaped, and the word of the Alamo inspired Texas to

rise up and defeat Santa Ana.

The fact that we even know that means your letter got out. That must have been

one hell of a letter.

Well, say.

I gather that Flynn is still out there.

Yes, but he did have a very large army at his back this time.

You're relieved of duty.

You can report to your commanding officer for reassignment.

Yes, sir.

Master Sergeant Baumgartner's in the waiting room, where he's about to learn

that time travel is real. No.

Just hold on.

You can't replace Wyatt.

Lucy. We're the ones out there risking our lives. I trust him. He makes the

right choice every time. I won't do it without him. We won't do it without him.

Rufus. I know I'm just supposed to shut up and cooperate, but I can't.

I won't.

Rufus is our only pilot, sir.

Without him...

What you've done to deserve this I can't imagine so we can stay seems you gave us

no choice

So

Let's have it.

You gonna fight every day now?

No.

I don't want to fight anymore.

Let's see.

Life's too short.

i was a junior and he was well he was a professor he really wanted to

know the truth he loved to argue and he was handsome

he wanted to go into politics

and then i told him i was pregnant what did he say

you know all the things that he was supposed to back then that's what you

did But I didn't want to marry him. Hell, I barely even knew him.

So we fought, and I told him I didn't need his help, and I haven't heard from

him since.

And, Lucy, I have no regrets.

None.

And this is his name.

Bam-Bam, hold up.

Wyatt Logan, what are you doing here?

I heard you were stealing our oxygen.

Well, they dragged me up from Pendleton, won't tell me crap, and now they're

flying me back. I don't suppose you know what's going on?

What do you think?

I figured.

The fact that you're here means this whole thing's seriously foobar.

It's good seeing you.

Hey,

when are you coming back to base?

We're prepping for an op right now. It's the real deal.

Robbie's there, Maddie, all the boys.

You'd love it.

Yeah, I think I'll be here for a while.

Got a new team.
