"4,000 horses lost
to raiders in 3 months.

3
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:41,226
"Need for more men
to protect herds.

4
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:42,560
"Desperate.
Repeat -- desperate.

5
00:01:42,644 --> 00:01:44,020
"John Hudson,
Lieutenant Colonel,

6
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:45,396
U.S. Cavalry."

7
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,689
More men, more men.

8
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:48,066
There isn't a command
in the army

9
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:49,400
that doesn't want more men.

10
00:01:49,484 --> 00:01:51,319
He'll have to do
with what he has.

11
00:01:51,361 --> 00:01:52,946
Well, Colonel Sharpe?

12
00:01:53,029 --> 00:01:54,697
General Halleck, Hudson's
tried to reach the railhead

13
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:55,865
by every route available.

14
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:57,117
Yet our forces have always been

15
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,618
intercepted and ambushed
by those raiders.

16
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:00,787
Our whole spring offensive
depends on the strength

17
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:03,331
of our cavalry units,
and that means horses.

18
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:04,624
Fort Hedley's in the center

19
00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:06,668
of all the great
Southwestern herds.

20
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:09,546
It was your idea to establish
a purchasing depot out there.

21
00:02:09,587 --> 00:02:11,714
Now, what are you doing
about it?

22
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:13,258
We've known for a long time
that the confederacy

23
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:14,759
has a well-organized spy system,

24
00:02:14,843 --> 00:02:16,553
and they know the importance
of those horses to us.

25
00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:19,222
Their men may be operating even
in our fort, for all we know.

26
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:20,723
All I was permitted to do
was to send

27
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:23,059
a private detective
out there, a civilian.

28
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:24,561
'Course everyone spotted him
right away.

29
00:02:24,602 --> 00:02:26,396
General, as I've told you
many times,

30
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:28,189
the only answer
to their espionage

31
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:29,858
is an espionage system
of our own.

32
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,193
I've taken it up three times
with the cabinet.

33
00:02:32,235 --> 00:02:33,528
Don't they want
to win the war?

34
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:35,196
They won't stand
for our men in uniform

35
00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:36,447
being secret agents.

36
00:02:36,531 --> 00:02:38,116
But they will stand
for enemy agents

37
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:39,242
knocking the war
out from under us.

38
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:40,577
They think spying is beneath

39
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,662
the dignity and honor
of an army man.

40
00:02:42,745 --> 00:02:43,538
That settles it.

41
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:44,789
General, how do you expect me

42
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:45,874
to get those horses here?

43
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:47,292
Colonel Sharpe, there's a war

44
00:02:47,375 --> 00:02:49,169
going on a few miles
south of here.

45
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:50,670
If we are to mount
a successful offensive

46
00:02:50,753 --> 00:02:52,213
in the spring
and end the war

47
00:02:52,255 --> 00:02:54,632
we must have horses --
thousands of them!

48
00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:56,509
That's why Hudson's
out there at Fort Hedley,

49
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,303
and that's why
you're chief of planning.

50
00:02:58,386 --> 00:02:59,596
I don't care how
you handle it,

51
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:00,930
but don't come to me
with it again.

52
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:02,682
Just get the horses.

53
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:12,901
It isn't that they know
the route that's so important.

54
00:03:12,942 --> 00:03:15,445
You can't hide the trail
of hundreds of horses.

55
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:18,990
But they know in advance what
pass we're going to cross.

56
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:20,408
That's their advantage.

57
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:22,035
They don't have to spread
their men so thin.

58
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:23,494
All this time,
you must have some idea

59
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:24,954
how the information's
getting out, John.

60
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,164
The whole town's full of people

61
00:03:26,247 --> 00:03:28,291
trying to sell
horses and information.

62
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:29,959
I can't do it all alone.

63
00:03:30,001 --> 00:03:31,794
George, I know officially

64
00:03:31,836 --> 00:03:33,755
you're here on a routine
inspection.

65
00:03:33,796 --> 00:03:35,465
Unofficially,
you're probably looking

66
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:37,467
for a chance to replace me.

67
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,802
If they don't send me
enough men to do the job,

68
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:41,137
let them replace me.

69
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:44,224
Be much easier leading
a bayonet charge back there.

70
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:46,601
Mr. Quint,
will you excuse us, please?

71
00:03:46,643 --> 00:03:47,685
I have a confidential matter

72
00:03:47,769 --> 00:03:49,145
to discuss
with Colonel Hudson.

73
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:50,396
Certainly.

74
00:03:51,022 --> 00:03:52,315
Certainly, sir.

75
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:00,823
I wasn't able
to get you more men,

76
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:02,992
but before I came out here,
I stopped at the arsenal

77
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:04,327
at Springfield, Massachusetts.

78
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:06,454
Without orders, I may add.

79
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:09,040
John, some gunsmith
is trying a new idea

80
00:04:09,123 --> 00:04:10,500
with the Springfield rifle.

81
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:12,961
I saw a demonstration.
It was amazing.

82
00:04:13,002 --> 00:04:14,212
No more muzzleloading.

83
00:04:14,295 --> 00:04:15,797
It operates
with a new breech action.

84
00:04:15,838 --> 00:04:18,216
That rifle can be loaded
and fired so fast,

85
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:19,842
it'll make each man
equal to five.

86
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:21,427
When can I get them?

87
00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,555
It may be a long time
before they're ready.

88
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,474
The Springfield people
are experimenting in secret.

89
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:28,393
Then what good
are they to us?

90
00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:30,228
Maybe I can convince them
to let us experiment

91
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:31,521
with those rifles in action.

92
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:32,772
If not,

93
00:04:32,855 --> 00:04:34,482
I'll have to wait
until they aren't looking.

94
00:04:34,524 --> 00:04:35,608
Can't get them
any other way.

95
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:36,943
In the meantime, I'm supposed

96
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:38,778
to use magic
to get the horses through,

97
00:04:38,861 --> 00:04:40,655
magic and that incompetent
you sent me

98
00:04:40,697 --> 00:04:42,782
who calls himself
a detective.

99
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:45,535
Now I'll let you in
on a little secret, George.

100
00:04:45,576 --> 00:04:48,705
I think we have the raiders
fooled this time.

101
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,832
I sent the drive out
under Lex Kearney,

102
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:52,875
the new major
just assigned me.

103
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:53,876
He's taking a route

104
00:04:53,918 --> 00:04:55,753
those raiders
will never anticipate --

105
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:58,339
right over the highest peaks
in the range,

106
00:04:58,381 --> 00:05:00,550
snow the year round,
through Gray Rock Pass,

107
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:03,052
which is 9,000 feet
above sea level.

108
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:05,888
Major Kearney?

109
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:06,848
Yes, sergeant.

110
00:05:06,889 --> 00:05:09,058
That's Gray Rock Pass
just ahead.

111
00:05:21,779 --> 00:05:22,905
[ Whistles ]

112
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:17,585
I told you
we'd make it this time.

113
00:06:42,443 --> 00:06:44,487
What are the orders,
major?

114
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:45,822
Those raiders
outnumber us at least

115
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:48,157
four to one, Captain Tennick.

116
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:49,492
We'll let them have the herd

117
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:51,119
and make a run for it
back to the Fort.

118
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,037
That's desertion. If you don't
want to fight, give me the men.

119
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:55,039
I'll delay them while you try
and get the horses through.

120
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:59,293
Captain, we're leaving the herd.
Form up at the rear now.

121
00:06:59,335 --> 00:07:00,670
Form up at the rear,
sergeant.

122
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:02,213
If I wanted the sergeant
to carry out the order,

123
00:07:02,296 --> 00:07:03,297
I'd issue it to him.

124
00:07:03,339 --> 00:07:04,924
Get them formed, captain.

125
00:07:06,092 --> 00:07:07,677
Form up at the rear!

126
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:09,637
Form up at the rear.

127
00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:54,432
Colonel Hudson alone?

128
00:07:54,515 --> 00:07:56,476
No, but you can go in,
Mr. Quint.

129
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:57,894
Thanks.

130
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:00,563
Troops back, colonel.

131
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,273
You've got another
no-delivery dispatch

132
00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:03,399
to send to Washington.

133
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:04,484
Casualties?

134
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:05,985
Nope.
Just the herd this time.

135
00:08:06,068 --> 00:08:07,737
A great beginning
for the new major.

136
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,573
I thought Kearney
could get the herd through.

137
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:14,118
They told me you were the best
detective the army could hire.

138
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,579
Why don't you get out there and
find out who the raiders are?

139
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,623
First things come first
with me, colonel.

140
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:20,750
I don't care
who the raiders are.

141
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:23,169
I want to know where they
get their information.

142
00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:25,254
I don't like the way
you say that, quint.

143
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:27,798
That's my plan, colonel.

144
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,217
But if you don't
like it that way,

145
00:08:29,258 --> 00:08:30,718
you can always make a change.

146
00:08:31,802 --> 00:08:33,262
Major Kearney, sir.

147
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:34,680
Hudson: Send him in.

148
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:40,603
Sit down, Lex.

149
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:43,898
I make my report
in front of him?

150
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:46,817
Don't be bashful, major.
I already made it for you.

151
00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:49,278
Go ahead, Lex.

152
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:52,907
As instructed, I didn't
open the sealed orders

153
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:54,700
till we arrived
at Taos Wells.

154
00:08:54,784 --> 00:08:56,077
The orders said
to take the herd

155
00:08:56,118 --> 00:08:58,120
by way
of the Dundall Flats route.

156
00:08:58,162 --> 00:08:59,163
They were waiting for us

157
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:01,707
on the other side
of Gray Rock Pass.

158
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,501
Did anyone have access
to the sealed orders

159
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:06,087
from the time you left here
until you reached Taos Wells?

160
00:09:06,462 --> 00:09:07,964
No, sir.

161
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:10,466
After you opened the orders,
who saw them besides you?

162
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:12,134
Captain Tennick
and Sergeant Snow.

163
00:09:12,176 --> 00:09:14,011
After they learned which route
you were going to take,

164
00:09:14,095 --> 00:09:15,680
were they ever
out of your sight?

165
00:09:15,763 --> 00:09:18,182
Here and there, but then,
but then I was out of theirs.

166
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:20,309
Did you get a look
at any of the raiders?

167
00:09:21,602 --> 00:09:23,312
We didn't put up a fight.

168
00:09:23,354 --> 00:09:25,356
Why not?

169
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:26,732
Permission
to see the colonel, sir.

170
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:27,900
Captain Tennick.

171
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:29,652
I request a court-martial.

172
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:31,320
Against whom
and on what charges?

173
00:09:31,362 --> 00:09:32,655
Against Major Kearney.

174
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:34,991
Charges of willful
disobedience of orders

175
00:09:35,032 --> 00:09:37,743
and misconduct
in the presence of the enemy.

176
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:39,120
Quite some charges from a man

177
00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:41,455
I could arrest
for insubordination.

178
00:09:41,497 --> 00:09:43,499
Sir, the orders were
defend the herd with force

179
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,209
against enemy attack.

180
00:09:45,293 --> 00:09:47,712
Major Kearney ordered us
to desert the herd.

181
00:09:48,170 --> 00:09:49,922
I've known Lex Kearney
for a long time.

182
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:51,757
I was his duty officer
at West Point.

183
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:53,342
He couldn't commit
such an act.

184
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:55,970
I'm sure his reasons for
the retreat were honorable.

185
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:58,264
I recommend
you withdraw your request.

186
00:09:58,347 --> 00:10:01,017
I respectfully decline
your recommendation, sir.

187
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:03,686
You're certain you have
sufficient grounds?

188
00:10:05,354 --> 00:10:06,856
I'm certain, sir.

189
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:09,650
Request granted.

190
00:10:10,526 --> 00:10:11,819
Thank you, sir.

191
00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:16,824
Has he
sufficient grounds, Lex?

192
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,243
Yes, sir.

193
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:21,203
He wants these gold leaves.

194
00:10:22,246 --> 00:10:25,833
Charge -- violation
of the 52nd Article of War --

195
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:28,502
neglect of duty and cowardice
in the face of the enemy,

196
00:10:28,544 --> 00:10:30,129
sacrificing war material,

197
00:10:30,212 --> 00:10:33,507
specifically a vitally needed
shipment of horses.

198
00:10:33,549 --> 00:10:34,717
How does the accused plead

199
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,844
to the charge
and specifications?

200
00:10:38,054 --> 00:10:40,181
Not guilty by reason
of circumstances.

201
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:43,309
This is his official
service record.

202
00:10:43,934 --> 00:10:46,687
"Major Alexander Kearney
was born in Virginia.

203
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:49,148
"At West Point,
before the declaration of war,

204
00:10:49,231 --> 00:10:51,901
"he openly sympathized
with his home state.

205
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,402
"At the outbreak of the war,

206
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:55,363
"he submitted his resignation
from the army,

207
00:10:55,404 --> 00:10:57,031
"giving as his reason
his reluctance

208
00:10:57,073 --> 00:10:58,282
"to fight against the south.

209
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:00,493
"He later withdrew
his submission.

210
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:03,746
"Kearney led a troop
in three engagements this year.

211
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:05,289
"He was removed from his command

212
00:11:05,373 --> 00:11:08,167
"because of indecision
in the presence of the enemy.

213
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,795
"Official comment --
'Untrustworthy,

214
00:11:10,878 --> 00:11:13,130
to be transferred
to duty at Fort Hedley.'"

215
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:14,632
Our orders were
to defend the herd

216
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:15,966
and drive them through
to the railroad.

217
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,928
Kearney's action was
in direct violation.

218
00:11:18,969 --> 00:11:20,930
In the face
of a far superior force,

219
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:22,306
it was my judgment
that it was better

220
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:24,266
to sacrifice the horses
and save the men.

221
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,602
Then we retreated,
leaving the herd unprotected

222
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,270
without even firing
one shot, sir.

223
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:29,855
Did you hear Major Kearney
tell Captain Tennick

224
00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:31,273
that he wouldn't fight?

225
00:11:31,315 --> 00:11:32,900
The major said we were
outnumbered four to one

226
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:34,068
and ordered us to the rear.

227
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:35,611
That's all, sergeant. Thank you.

228
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:36,821
May I say
something, sir?

229
00:11:36,904 --> 00:11:38,114
Certainly, sergeant.

230
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:39,699
I served with Major Kearney.

231
00:11:39,782 --> 00:11:41,033
He was a lieutenant then,

232
00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:43,285
at the First Battle
of Bull Run in '61.

233
00:11:43,327 --> 00:11:45,788
Our troop covered the retreat
that day,

234
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:47,665
and we were the last
to withdraw.

235
00:11:47,748 --> 00:11:49,291
We didn't have to be the last,

236
00:11:49,375 --> 00:11:51,585
but the lieutenant was
as stubborn as a mule --

237
00:11:51,627 --> 00:11:53,129
Man: Sergeant Snow.

238
00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:55,214
Let him tell it
in his own way.

239
00:11:55,297 --> 00:11:59,635
Well, sir, I never saw
such an ornery s--

240
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,887
cuss in my whole life,

241
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,806
but he's certainly no coward.

242
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:06,058
The whole troop was cited
for that action, sir.

243
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:08,477
The action he speaks of was
a retreat, wasn't it, sergeant?

244
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:11,689
Everybody knows we lost the
First Battle of Bull Run, sir.

245
00:12:11,772 --> 00:12:13,399
It was right
after I enlisted.

246
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:14,692
We were out on patrol --

247
00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:17,194
Major Kearney, 2 mules,
and 10 more of us.

248
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,114
All of a sudden, about 25 --
maybe it was 50 --

249
00:12:20,156 --> 00:12:21,866
anyway,
they were Stan Waitie's men.

250
00:12:21,949 --> 00:12:23,367
They came charging
out of the rocks,

251
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:24,827
screaming and hollering
like a pack of wildcats

252
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,412
and firing as they come.

253
00:12:26,495 --> 00:12:28,122
I've got to admit
I was so scared,

254
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:31,208
I couldn't fire my gun,
couldn't even move.

255
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:32,668
Next thing I know,
the major was standing

256
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,920
alongside of me,
firing and loading.

257
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,214
When he was loading,
he talked to me real quiet.

258
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:41,010
The major saved my life
that day. I know it.

259
00:12:41,051 --> 00:12:43,262
This court finds
Major Alexander Kearney,

260
00:12:43,345 --> 00:12:45,598
5th cavalry,
United States Army,

261
00:12:45,681 --> 00:12:47,308
guilty of gross neglect of duty

262
00:12:47,349 --> 00:12:50,478
by reason of cowardice
in the face of the enemy.

263
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,649
"Alexander Kearney,
you are warned

264
00:12:55,691 --> 00:12:57,860
"that you are liable
to the death penalty

265
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,695
"if you trespass
upon the grounds

266
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:01,655
"of any United States
military post

267
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:04,200
or reservation henceforth."

268
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:07,203
[ Drum beating ]

269
00:13:20,257 --> 00:13:23,219
Conduct the prisoner
through the gate.

270
00:14:20,901 --> 00:14:22,236
Sergeant Snow will give you

271
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:23,904
a receipt for these,
Mr. McCool.

272
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:25,781
You can bring in more
next time.

273
00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:27,241
My spread's not too big,
General.

274
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:28,951
I'll buy all you can get me.

275
00:14:28,993 --> 00:14:30,619
How can they buy stock
like that?

276
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:33,622
That's the sorriest-looking
jackrabbits I ever saw.

277
00:14:35,624 --> 00:14:36,917
You ain't got nothing to say

278
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:39,753
about what the army buys
anymore, yellow-belly.

279
00:14:39,795 --> 00:14:41,255
Never could understand

280
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,924
why you were so particular
with us ranchers, major,

281
00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:46,594
unless you were making sure

282
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:48,387
those raiders got
good sound horseflesh.

283
00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:51,307
Sir, Kearney's giving
the army a bad name

284
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:52,808
hanging around like this.

285
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:54,351
I know we don't have
jurisdiction over him anymore,

286
00:14:54,435 --> 00:14:55,853
but I wish
there were some way

287
00:14:55,936 --> 00:14:57,563
to get him out of town.

288
00:14:57,646 --> 00:15:00,065
He'll be leaving soon,
lieutenant.

289
00:15:01,817 --> 00:15:03,319
Captain Tennick.

290
00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:06,071
Captain Tennick,

291
00:15:06,155 --> 00:15:09,033
I see you haven't got
my gold leaves yet.

292
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:15,122
You're mighty brave
with that whip, captain.

293
00:15:15,164 --> 00:15:17,082
I'll be back without my whip
when I get my herd

294
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:18,334
through the railhead.

295
00:15:20,169 --> 00:15:22,588
There's something
eating that fellow.

296
00:15:22,671 --> 00:15:25,090
I'm not so sure
he's yellow.

297
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:56,705
Erin.

298
00:15:59,249 --> 00:16:01,627
What in the world
are you doing here?

299
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:10,552
Hasn't a wife a right
to come and see her husband?

300
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:12,388
Colonel John wrote me.

301
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:15,766
I like you
in civilian clothes.

302
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:17,142
What did Hudson say?

303
00:16:19,019 --> 00:16:20,938
Oh, Lex, I don't care
what happened out here.

304
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:23,023
You hated this war
in the first place.

305
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:25,484
You've given enough
of your life to the army.

306
00:16:25,567 --> 00:16:27,736
Let's just be grateful
it's over for you at last

307
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:29,113
and you can come home.

308
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:30,614
You've been gone so long,
darling,

309
00:16:30,698 --> 00:16:33,075
your son hardly remembers
what you look like.

310
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:35,995
What does <i>he</i> look like?

311
00:16:36,078 --> 00:16:37,746
You see?

312
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:40,207
You don't remember him,
either.

313
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:45,754
Jamie's grown up.

314
00:16:46,755 --> 00:16:48,340
He's a man.

315
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:50,759
Yes, and he needs a father.

316
00:16:53,095 --> 00:16:55,514
Erin, I'm not going home
with you.

317
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:57,558
Why?

318
00:16:58,434 --> 00:16:59,643
Until this war is over,

319
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:02,104
I have to do
what I think is right,

320
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:04,690
or else I'll never be able
to look at you again

321
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:07,026
or Jamie or myself.

322
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:08,777
Why don't you trust me?

323
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:11,280
Men have to do
strange things sometimes

324
00:17:11,321 --> 00:17:13,574
that they don't like
to tell their wives about.

325
00:17:14,324 --> 00:17:17,327
It has nothing to do
with not trusting them.

326
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:19,705
When do you want me
to go back?

327
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:22,458
A stagecoach leaves
in the morning.

328
00:17:22,541 --> 00:17:24,293
In the morning.

329

There's another one
in a couple of days.

330
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:34,887
And, uh,
when you pay your respects

331
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:36,764
to Colonel John,

332
00:17:36,805 --> 00:17:39,808
you tell him
to mind his own business,

333
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,227
and I'll mind mine.

334

Old Crow.

336
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:07,169
Pour it yourself,
copperhead.

337
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:13,133
I'll do the honors.

338
00:18:14,218 --> 00:18:16,178
Another glass, bartender.

339
00:18:17,846 --> 00:18:19,014
I assume you're treating.

340
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,724
-Help yourself.
-Thanks.

341
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:29,608

He won't drink to that.

343

Why didn't you go home

Is that any
of your business?

347
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:53,590
I've got enough to worry
about here without you.

348
00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:55,342
Well, maybe this drive
will get through,

349
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:57,302
and then you'll have less
to worry about.

350

The drive didn't get through.

351
00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:00,305
I guess maybe
you already know that.

352
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:03,100
The scout brought the word in
about an hour ago.

353
00:19:03,183 --> 00:19:05,227
Over half of them
were killed.

354
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:07,229

355

Troops back.

357
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:18,866
They caught two of the raiders,
and they're bringing them in.

358
00:19:18,907 --> 00:19:20,576
The rest of them got away
with the herd,

359
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:22,661
but they shot the horses out
from under two of them.

360
00:19:22,744 --> 00:19:23,871
See ya.

361
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:46,602
Captain Tennick, what's that
on your blouse -- dirt,

362
00:19:46,643 --> 00:19:48,353
or is that the blood
of some of the troopers

363
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:50,689
who died out there for you?

364
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:58,822
Are you proud of yourself,
Captain Tennick?

365
00:19:58,906 --> 00:20:00,949
Do you feel
like a brave man now?

366
00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:03,410
Lieutenant Johnson,
take over the detail.

367
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:07,497
Johnson: Go for the guard!
Post number one!

368
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:11,460
Man: Guard detail,
open the gate.

369
00:20:20,385 --> 00:20:22,638
Look out, Mr. Kearney.
Don't come inside.

370
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:30,687
Arrest him.
He's on military property.

371
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:37,861
The death penalty
can go with this,

372
00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:39,196
or did you forget?

373
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,989
I did, but you didn't.

374
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,991
Take him to the guardhouse.

375
00:20:53,502 --> 00:20:54,836
Open up, guard.

376
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:16,858
Was it bad?

377
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,527
We can hold out.

378
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:23,365
They might not hang you
if you tell them

379

what they want to know.

Nice thoughtful friends

You ain't in on this.

Get back there.

386

Just sit tight,
and you won't get hurt.

387

This ought to warm
your ivory dome, baldy.

388
00:23:36,415 --> 00:23:37,749
Yeah, thanks.

389

Feels good
on top of my head,

One $10 now and one $10
when you bring the whiskey.

00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:08,738
Give me the money.

401

-Right here.
-Stick the bottle through first.

Don't break it.
Open the door.

Give me that $10
and get back to your bunks.

405
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:44,983
And when will you give me
the bottle of whiskey?

406
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:47,986
Do it my way
or you won't never get it.

407

Straighten up.

-He helped us break.
-Let him tell it.

416
00:26:53,486 --> 00:26:54,946
We shared the same cell.

417
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:57,032
We were going to share the same
appointment in the morning,

418
00:26:57,073 --> 00:26:59,576
so we shared
the same breakout.

-Last time we saw him--

Let him tell it.

421
00:27:02,829 --> 00:27:04,164
I guess he's looking
for a horse.

00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:05,707
I borrowed his.

423
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:07,334
Why did you come out here
with them?

424
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:10,045
Well, we just naturally all ran
in the same direction.

You didn't
have to run, major.

426

Once you were
off military property,

they couldn't touch you,
and you know it.

come out here?

If it hadn't have been for him,
we couldn't have made it.

That's right.

Water your horses
and get going. Talk.

Well, I came out here
to ask you for a job.

437
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:37,781
Of course, I didn't know
it was you.

they got two raiders,

I got myself arrested and thrown
in the cell with them.

in jail too long before.

press charges against you

639
00:40:13,285 --> 00:40:16,997
for brawling with a dishonorably
discharged officer.

640
00:40:22,837 --> 00:40:24,380
How many head
have you got here?

641
00:40:24,463 --> 00:40:25,798
Eight.

642
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,592
I got some more coming
off the range Friday.

643
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:34,849
$75

644
00:40:36,183 --> 00:40:37,435
and $140.

645
00:40:37,518 --> 00:40:38,853
$225.

646
00:40:42,148 --> 00:40:43,482
$425.

647
00:40:44,191 --> 00:40:45,901
$675.

648
00:40:45,985 --> 00:40:46,777
For all eight?

649
00:40:46,861 --> 00:40:48,028
That's all they're worth.

650
00:40:49,530 --> 00:40:51,824
Looks like the army
made a deal, major.

651
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:53,701
I'll see you at the barn
in about an hour.

652
00:40:53,784 --> 00:40:56,412
Got a little banking and some
personal business to attend to.

653
00:40:56,495 --> 00:40:57,830
Come on.

654
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:08,007
Sir, I'm sorry to see you
in a position like this.

655
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:09,216
Thanks, sergeant.

656
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:11,635
Kearney...

657
00:41:15,097 --> 00:41:17,725
You made a grave mistake
in not going home, Lex.

658
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:19,768
Erin has come back.

659
00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:22,271
Did you write her again?

660
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:25,065
Your boy ran away
from his school.

661
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:33,259
Mr. Ramsey,
Sergeant Poole.

662
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:11,547
I'm wondering
if you and Kearney

663
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:13,591
can still shake hands.

664
00:43:15,884 --> 00:43:17,845
Let's continue
with your report, major.

665
00:43:17,886 --> 00:43:19,138
The raiders are led

666
00:43:19,179 --> 00:43:21,432
by this horse rancher
named McCool,

667
00:43:21,515 --> 00:43:24,727
the one who sells a few horses
to the army as a blind.

668
00:43:24,810 --> 00:43:26,103
He has nearly 100 men --

669
00:43:26,186 --> 00:43:27,730
about a third of them
are Confederate soldiers

670
00:43:27,813 --> 00:43:29,356
on assignment for this work,

671
00:43:29,398 --> 00:43:31,191
and the rest of 'em
are a bunch of jayhawkers

672
00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:32,610
led by man named Elm.

673
00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:34,403
The captured horses
are kept in a canyon

674
00:43:34,486 --> 00:43:35,779
45 miles east of here.

675
00:43:35,863 --> 00:43:37,364
and about once a month
they run them down

676
00:43:37,448 --> 00:43:38,616
to the South Fork of Bear Creek,

677
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:39,700
where they turn them over

678
00:43:39,742 --> 00:43:41,702
to the Confederate agents.

679
00:43:41,744 --> 00:43:43,370
That's the picture.

680
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:45,039
Good job, major.

681
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,041
Thank you, colonel,
and now, sir,

682
00:43:47,124 --> 00:43:49,501
I request that I be relieved
of the assignment.

683
00:43:49,710 --> 00:43:51,795
That calls
for an explanation, major.

684
00:43:51,879 --> 00:43:53,464
I consider myself
a bad risk.

685
00:43:53,547 --> 00:43:56,175
It'll take just one mistake
to smoke us out.

686
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,302
Permit me to speak
for the major.

687
00:43:58,385 --> 00:44:00,846
He has a personal problem.
His wife is here.

688
00:44:00,888 --> 00:44:02,389
What's that
got to do with it?

689
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:04,516
'Cause I had no idea
what the effect

690
00:44:04,558 --> 00:44:06,310
of this would be
on my family.

691
00:44:06,393 --> 00:44:08,270
Kearney, all these men
have problems.

692
00:44:08,354 --> 00:44:10,981
Excuse me, Colonel, but it's a
little different with Lex.

693
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:12,566
His boy ran away from school

694
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:15,069
because he couldn't stand
the disgrace of his father.

695
00:44:15,986 --> 00:44:17,863
Why did you volunteer
for this assignment, Lex?

696
00:44:18,238 --> 00:44:20,491
Because I wanted to see
this war ended quick,

697
00:44:20,574 --> 00:44:23,577
and I thought the idea
of counterintelligence

698
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:25,579
was the best way to help.

699
00:44:25,621 --> 00:44:26,997
Then get on
with this job.

700
00:44:27,081 --> 00:44:28,582
If you don't, you'll spend
the rest of your days

701
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:30,334
with a brand on you --
traitor and coward.

702
00:44:30,417 --> 00:44:32,294
It's in your service record.
We had it put there.

703
00:44:32,378 --> 00:44:34,546
To reinstate you now
would expose all of us.

704
00:44:34,588 --> 00:44:36,048
I can't change
your record back.

705
00:44:36,090 --> 00:44:38,801
Very, well, sir.
What do you want me to do?

706
00:44:38,884 --> 00:44:40,886
We have to find out how McCool
is getting his information

707
00:44:40,928 --> 00:44:42,262
to intercept the herds.

708
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:43,764
How do you stand with him?

709
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:45,099
About as well as anyone,
I think,

710
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:47,267
but he confides in no one.

711
00:44:47,351 --> 00:44:48,852
If he were removed,
could you work yourself

712
00:44:48,936 --> 00:44:50,437
into a position of authority?

713
00:44:50,479 --> 00:44:51,480
It's possible.

714
00:44:51,563 --> 00:44:53,190
Then McCool must be removed.

715
00:44:53,273 --> 00:44:55,359
So, will you give me permission
to pick a fight with him?

716
00:44:55,442 --> 00:44:57,861
It has to be done so his
contact won't be scared off.

717
00:44:57,945 --> 00:44:59,029
This is the way
these things work.

718
00:44:59,113 --> 00:45:00,906
The southern spy ring
is widespread.

719
00:45:00,948 --> 00:45:02,491
They undoubtedly
have a key man out here.

720
00:45:02,574 --> 00:45:04,910
We must get to him and destroy
him through McCool.

721
00:45:04,952 --> 00:45:08,247
The best way to do that
is on a raid.

722
00:45:08,288 --> 00:45:10,249
Who's leading the detail
on the next drive?

723
00:45:10,290 --> 00:45:11,291
I am, sir.

724
00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:13,919
Good. Then your job is
to kill McCool.

725
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:17,005
He rides a big pinto.
It's the only one in the outfit.

726
00:45:17,089 --> 00:45:19,133
I'll flash you a signal
before the attack

727
00:45:19,174 --> 00:45:22,302
and maneuver him
into position for you.

728
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,221
Thanks. I'll get him.

729
00:45:26,598 --> 00:45:28,475
Kearney, after you're top dog
with that outfit,

730
00:45:28,517 --> 00:45:30,185
if the key man wants
to continue to do business,

731
00:45:30,269 --> 00:45:31,854
he'll have to get
in touch with you.

732
00:45:31,937 --> 00:45:34,148
When you know your man,
get word to Poole.

733
00:45:34,189 --> 00:45:37,192
Poole will tell Ramsey,
and Ramsey will send for me.

734
00:45:37,276 --> 00:45:38,318
Any questions?

735
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,737
No, sir.

736
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:41,655
Leave one at a time
at intervals of two minutes.

737
00:45:41,739 --> 00:45:42,948
Dismissed.

738
00:45:42,990 --> 00:45:44,283
Sir, may I be
the first to leave?

739
00:45:44,324 --> 00:45:45,784
Yes, Poole.

740
00:45:49,663 --> 00:45:51,039
Sorry about your boy, Lex.

741
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:52,374
Wish there was something
I could do.

742
00:45:52,458 --> 00:45:55,377
There is, sir.
Here's his picture.

743
00:45:55,461 --> 00:45:57,546
If you try the recruiting
offices near Philadelphia,

744
00:45:57,629 --> 00:45:59,423
I think
he can be located.

745
00:45:59,506 --> 00:46:02,134
His mother and I
will be very grateful.

746
00:46:02,176 --> 00:46:04,470
If he's in the services,
I'll find him for you, Lex.

747
00:46:04,511 --> 00:46:05,846
Thank you, sir.

748
00:46:15,481 --> 00:46:17,483
What a licking
that man's taking.

749
00:46:17,524 --> 00:46:18,776
He'll stand up.

750
00:46:18,859 --> 00:46:20,277
I'm sure he will
because he has faith,

751
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,113
faith in people,
faith in a strong Union,

752
00:46:23,197 --> 00:46:24,865
and I hope someday
his family will understand

753
00:46:24,948 --> 00:46:27,493
and appreciate what he's doing
for his country.

754
00:46:27,534 --> 00:46:30,120
I found out just after
I got back to Philadelphia.

755
00:46:30,204 --> 00:46:31,872
The news of you was
in all the papers.

756
00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:33,457
I tried to keep it
from Jamie,

757
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:34,708
but his schoolmates --

758
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:36,543
you know how cruel
children can be.

759
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:38,378
His whole world crashed,
I suppose,

760
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:39,546
and he ran away.

761
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:40,798
Where?

762
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:43,050
I don't know.
I've tried everywhere.

763
00:46:43,133 --> 00:46:44,885
I thought he might
have come out here to you

764
00:46:44,927 --> 00:46:47,304
to see if it were true.

765
00:46:47,387 --> 00:46:49,264
Colonel John thinks
he may have joined the army,

766
00:46:49,348 --> 00:46:52,059
but he's too young,
isn't he, Lex?

767
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:54,228
Drummer, bugler,
dispatch runner --

768
00:46:54,269 --> 00:46:56,146
they take them now
if they pass for 15.

769
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:57,356
{\an8}He'd pass.

770
00:46:57,397 --> 00:46:59,316
Colonel John
is tracing enlistments.

771
00:46:59,399 --> 00:47:01,068
He said he'd do
everything he could.

772
00:47:01,109 --> 00:47:03,153
Jamie would change his name.
He wouldn't use Kearney.

773
00:47:03,529 --> 00:47:07,157
Then we'll never find him.
Lex, you've got to do something.

774
00:47:07,241 --> 00:47:08,867
Staying here
whatever you're trying to prove

775
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:11,286
is not worth our son's life.
Nothing is.

776
00:47:11,370 --> 00:47:14,414
If you hadn't come here,
you might have stopped him.

777
00:47:14,456 --> 00:47:16,416
If you were a good mother,
that's where you'd be

778
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:18,252
at home now.

779
00:47:18,293 --> 00:47:20,629
Kids get scared when
they go out on their own.

780
00:47:20,712 --> 00:47:21,964
He might come creeping back,

781
00:47:22,047 --> 00:47:23,924
and you ought to be there
to help him.

782
00:47:23,966 --> 00:47:26,802
What good does it do
to come wailing to me?

783
00:47:26,885 --> 00:47:28,011
With Jamie gone,

784
00:47:28,095 --> 00:47:29,638
I thought I belonged
with my husband.

785
00:47:29,721 --> 00:47:30,931
You can't be with me.

786
00:47:30,973 --> 00:47:32,224
I've got things
to do right now

787
00:47:32,266 --> 00:47:34,393
which you're
interfering with.

788
00:47:38,313 --> 00:47:39,439
Lex, I'm afraid.

789
00:47:39,481 --> 00:47:41,149
Please let me stay.

790
00:47:42,317 --> 00:47:43,652
I've said everything
I can say.

791
00:47:43,735 --> 00:47:46,488
I wish you'd go back,
but I can't make you.

792
00:47:53,662 --> 00:47:55,122
Just think, Mr. Kearney,

793
00:47:55,163 --> 00:47:56,915
I might have plugged you
that time.

794
00:47:56,957 --> 00:47:58,625
Been a downright sin.

795
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:03,130
We ought to be

telling us all the time.

957
00:59:44,831 --> 00:59:46,165
Remember when
I bought your horses,

958
00:59:46,207 --> 00:59:48,209
the price never came out
in round numbers?

959
00:59:48,293 --> 00:59:49,961
That was because
the last two digits

960
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:52,213
had to indicate
the route of the drive.

961
00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:53,756
Simple but effective.

962
00:59:54,299 --> 00:59:56,759
I advised McCool to take
someone into his confidence

963
00:59:56,843 --> 00:59:58,678
in case anything
happened to him,

964
00:59:58,761 --> 01:00:00,513
but he wanted
to play it alone.

965
01:00:00,555 --> 01:00:03,516
Well, partner,
we're in business again.

966
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:04,934
Yes. You better
get up the canyon

967
01:00:05,018 --> 01:00:07,186
and tell the men
we've made contact,

968
01:00:07,228 --> 01:00:08,521
but no names.

969
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:09,772
This is our deal.

970
01:00:09,856 --> 01:00:12,066
Right, major.
You and me's the brains.

971
01:00:17,363 --> 01:00:18,573
He has his uses.

972
01:00:18,656 --> 01:00:20,366
Yes, so I understand.

973
01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:21,784
I didn't like telling him,

974
01:00:21,868 --> 01:00:23,328
but I couldn't very well
ask to speak to you alone

975
01:00:23,369 --> 01:00:27,457
without making him suspicious
and my own men, too.

976
01:00:27,540 --> 01:00:28,666
What are they thinking now?

977
01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:29,876
Oh, that I'm stirring you up

978
01:00:29,959 --> 01:00:31,377
to bring in more horses.

979
01:00:31,419 --> 01:00:32,503
I was careful to visit

980
01:00:32,545 --> 01:00:34,339
several other ranches today.

981
01:00:34,380 --> 01:00:35,673
Lex, I can't tell you

982
01:00:35,715 --> 01:00:37,842
how glad I am
to have you with us.

983
01:00:37,884 --> 01:00:39,886
I wasn't sure of you
at the court-martial,

984
01:00:39,969 --> 01:00:42,055
and I was afraid that Erin
might influence you,

985
01:00:42,138 --> 01:00:43,848
but when you refused
to go home

986
01:00:43,890 --> 01:00:45,892
and stayed on with McCool...

987
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:49,020
I feel for you with Erin.

988
01:00:49,062 --> 01:00:50,897
I know what she means
to you.

989
01:00:52,273 --> 01:00:53,274
Is she still in town?

990
01:00:53,358 --> 01:00:54,525
Yes, but don't worry.

991
01:00:54,567 --> 01:00:56,444
I put out a tracer
for your boy.

992
01:00:56,736 --> 01:00:57,945
When he's been located,

993
01:00:58,029 --> 01:01:00,156
at least Erin won't be
staying close by,

994
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:01,157
and after the war,

995
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,993
well, bitterness
loses its taste.

996
01:01:04,077 --> 01:01:06,245
Many things are forgotten.

997
01:01:06,788 --> 01:01:08,081
I hope so.

998
01:01:08,122 --> 01:01:09,415
Yeah. I must go.

999
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:11,084
Can't stay too long.

1000
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:16,589
We'll work well
together, Lex.

1001
01:01:16,631 --> 01:01:18,049
Oh, by the way,

1002
01:01:18,091 --> 01:01:21,094
there's a shipment coming in
of a new kind of rifle.

1003
01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:23,721
The south could make
good use of them.

1004
01:01:23,763 --> 01:01:25,640
When the time comes,
I want you to organize

1005
01:01:25,723 --> 01:01:27,767
a little raid
on our supply wagons.

1006
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:29,852
I'll be glad to, sir.

1007
01:01:33,439 --> 01:01:36,901
John Hudson their key man.
It's hard to believe, isn't it?

1008
01:01:36,943 --> 01:01:38,736
I might be able
to get his ledger.

1009
01:01:38,778 --> 01:01:40,530
It'll have entries
of all his purchases.

1010
01:01:40,613 --> 01:01:43,199
And they'll correspond with
the locations on that map.

1011
01:01:43,282 --> 01:01:46,244
Yeah. There's a better way
to do it, I think.

1012
01:01:46,285 --> 01:01:48,788
Kearney, get some horses and
bring 'em in for Hudson to buy.

1013
01:01:48,871 --> 01:01:50,957
I'll be at the corrals
when he names his price.

1014
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,584
When you have the receipt,
I'll place him under arrest.

1015
01:01:53,626 --> 01:01:54,752
Of course, if he
does have a ledger,

1016
01:01:54,794 --> 01:01:55,878
that'll be so much the better.

1017
01:01:55,962 --> 01:01:57,296
We'll take him
to Washington

1018
01:01:57,338 --> 01:01:59,215
and confront the general staff
with the living proof

1019
01:01:59,298 --> 01:02:00,591
that the only way
to fight espionage

1020
01:02:00,633 --> 01:02:02,301
is with counterespionage.

1021
01:02:02,343 --> 01:02:04,262
I'll bring some horses
down tomorrow with Elm,

1022
01:02:04,303 --> 01:02:06,055
and you can arrest him
along with Hudson.

1023
01:02:06,139 --> 01:02:07,056
Right.

1024
01:02:07,140 --> 01:02:08,516
Just before
I left Washington,

1025
01:02:08,599 --> 01:02:10,810
General Halleck gave me
the latest high command opinion

1026
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:12,687
on organizing
a group like ours.

1027
01:02:12,770 --> 01:02:14,105
They laughed
at the general.

1028
01:02:14,147 --> 01:02:15,648
Said that since
the word counterespionage

1029
01:02:15,690 --> 01:02:17,066
wasn't even in the dictionary,

1030
01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:18,651
it seemed ridiculous
to try to create something

1031
01:02:18,735 --> 01:02:20,653
that couldn't
even be defined.

1032
01:02:20,695 --> 01:02:22,488
Well, we're defining it
for them

1033
01:02:22,572 --> 01:02:25,408
and in great big
capital letters.

1034
01:02:25,491 --> 01:02:27,034
-Any questions?
-Yes, sir.

1035
01:02:27,118 --> 01:02:28,995
What about those rifles
you said you had brought in

1036
01:02:29,036 --> 01:02:31,414
in the hardtack boxes, sir?

1037
01:02:31,497 --> 01:02:32,665
I packed them that way

1038
01:02:32,707 --> 01:02:34,333
in case the wrong man
got to snooping.

1039
01:02:34,375 --> 01:02:35,585
Lucky, isn't it?

1040
01:02:35,668 --> 01:02:38,171
I was supposed to
steal those when they arrived.

1041
01:02:38,212 --> 01:02:40,590
That's how I got them, but we'll
have to set you a little plan.

1042
01:02:40,673 --> 01:02:42,008
Thank goodness they're here.

1043
01:02:42,049 --> 01:02:43,551
The firepower
in these Springfield rifles

1044
01:02:43,634 --> 01:02:46,679
will multiply the strength
of our little garrison by five.

1045
01:02:46,763 --> 01:02:49,474
It'll give us
the equivalent of 250 men.

1046
01:02:49,515 --> 01:02:52,477
We'll outnumber the raiders
and outfire them.

1047
01:02:52,518 --> 01:02:54,270
Any further questions?

1048
01:02:54,353 --> 01:02:56,939
The major won't be
the first to leave today.

1049
01:02:57,023 --> 01:02:59,859
Your son's been found, Lex,
safe and sound.

1050
01:02:59,901 --> 01:03:02,612
He'd enlisted under
the unusual name John Smith.

1051
01:03:02,695 --> 01:03:04,906
Being held at the Chestnut Hill
recruiting station.

1052
01:03:04,989 --> 01:03:06,491
You want to tell your wife,
I know.

1053
01:03:06,532 --> 01:03:07,784
Yes.

1054
01:03:11,496 --> 01:03:12,538
Erin.

1055
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:13,915
[ Knock on door ]

1056
01:03:13,998 --> 01:03:15,833
-Lex: Erin.
-Lex?

1057
01:03:15,875 --> 01:03:17,168
Yes.

1058
01:03:23,216 --> 01:03:27,512
Honey, Jamie's been found,
and he's safe.

1059
01:03:27,553 --> 01:03:29,555
And he's well.

1060
01:03:29,639 --> 01:03:30,932
How do you know?

1061
01:03:31,224 --> 01:03:33,392
Uh... I can't tell you that,
but he was

1062
01:03:33,476 --> 01:03:34,894
at the Chestnut Hill
recruiting station

1063
01:03:34,977 --> 01:03:36,521
just a few miles from home.

1064
01:03:36,562 --> 01:03:38,064
Did Colonel John
tell you this?

1065
01:03:38,147 --> 01:03:43,236
No. Please don't ask me any
more, but it's true, believe me.

1066
01:03:44,403 --> 01:03:46,113
What do you think
I ought to do?

1067
01:03:46,197 --> 01:03:48,032
Well, go home to him,
of course.

1068
01:03:48,074 --> 01:03:49,283
The stagecoach leaves
in the morning.

1069
01:03:49,367 --> 01:03:51,410
You'll be home
within a week.

1070
01:03:51,494 --> 01:03:53,079
That's what I thought.

1071
01:03:53,162 --> 01:03:54,914
You'd do anything
to get rid of me,

1072
01:03:54,956 --> 01:03:55,998
wouldn't you?

1073
01:03:56,082 --> 01:03:57,333
Erin, you don't think --

1074
01:03:57,416 --> 01:03:59,418
Yes, I do. I wouldn't put
anything past you.

1075
01:03:59,460 --> 01:04:01,045
After the way you've acted,
none of your friends

1076
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:02,255
understand you anymore.

1077
01:04:02,296 --> 01:04:04,757
Even Colonel John
won't talk about you.

1078
01:04:04,841 --> 01:04:05,842
Erin, listen to me --

1079
01:04:05,925 --> 01:04:07,301
Let go of me.

1080
01:04:07,385 --> 01:04:10,429
Now get out, and don't come
creeping back to me

1081
01:04:10,471 --> 01:04:11,681
with any of your tricks.

1082
01:04:11,764 --> 01:04:14,058
I'm staying here
until Colonel John tells me

1083
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:15,935
my son's been found.

1084
01:04:16,435 --> 01:04:17,979
I hope it'll be soon.

1085
01:04:18,938 --> 01:04:21,107
I hope many things
will be soon.

1086
01:04:21,774 --> 01:04:22,942
Get out.

1087
01:04:23,901 --> 01:04:25,111
Get out!

1088
01:04:38,875 --> 01:04:40,251
Mrs. Kearney
to see you, sir.

1089
01:04:40,293 --> 01:04:41,711
Oh, send her in,
sergeant.

1090
01:04:41,794 --> 01:04:43,379
Yes, sir. Mrs. Kearney.

1091
01:04:43,462 --> 01:04:45,923
I was thinking about you
this moment, my dear.

1092
01:04:45,965 --> 01:04:47,758
I just received
a long official document

1093
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:49,051
from Washington,

1094
01:04:49,135 --> 01:04:50,887
which, translated
into one brief sentence,

1095
01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:53,639
says young James Kearney
has been found.

1096
01:04:54,599 --> 01:04:56,142
Oh, Colonel John...

1097
01:04:56,183 --> 01:04:57,435
Oh, he's in
the best of health.

1098
01:04:57,476 --> 01:04:59,854
Army grub seems
to agree with him.

1099
01:04:59,937 --> 01:05:01,188
So it's true.

1100
01:05:01,272 --> 01:05:03,149
Now what's the matter, Erin?

1101
01:05:03,190 --> 01:05:04,817
Lex came to see me
last night

1102
01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:06,819
to tell me
Jamie had been found.

1103
01:05:06,861 --> 01:05:10,281
I didn't believe him.
I sent him away.

1104
01:05:10,323 --> 01:05:12,366
How did Lex know
about Jamie?

1105
01:05:12,450 --> 01:05:13,993
I don't know.
He wouldn't tell me.

1106
01:05:14,076 --> 01:05:16,245
That's one of the reasons
I wouldn't believe him.

1107
01:05:16,329 --> 01:05:19,165
He acted so strange,
so mysterious about everything.

1108
01:05:19,248 --> 01:05:20,625
That's why I came
to you this morning.

1109
01:05:20,666 --> 01:05:22,585
I thought maybe you could
see him and talk to him

1110
01:05:22,668 --> 01:05:25,796
and get him to stop this thing
he's doing, whatever it is.

1111
01:05:25,838 --> 01:05:29,050
Erin, you worried for weeks
about Jamie, didn't you?

1112
01:05:29,133 --> 01:05:30,760
Didn't help matters any, did it?

1113
01:05:30,843 --> 01:05:33,679
He was found, and all your
worries were for nothing.

1114
01:05:33,763 --> 01:05:36,349
Now, you know what I'd do
if I were you?

1115
01:05:36,432 --> 01:05:38,517
I think you ought
to go home to your son.

1116
01:05:38,601 --> 01:05:41,729
This is a man's world out here,
and you don't belong,

1117
01:05:41,812 --> 01:05:43,397
but just remember this --

1118
01:05:43,481 --> 01:05:46,317
people don't always act
the way you expect them to.

1119
01:05:46,359 --> 01:05:48,694
Doesn't mean that they
aren't fond of you

1120
01:05:48,778 --> 01:05:50,363
or they don't love you.

1121
01:05:50,446 --> 01:05:52,698
Simply means they may have
a star to follow

1122
01:05:52,740 --> 01:05:55,368
that's stronger
than any personal tie.

1123
01:05:56,410 --> 01:05:57,745
Colonel John,
I don't know

1124
01:05:57,828 --> 01:05:59,413
what I would have done
without you.

1125
01:06:01,248 --> 01:06:03,417
Now run along, my dear.

1126
01:06:41,872 --> 01:06:43,207
Good morning, John.

1127
01:06:43,249 --> 01:06:45,251
Good morning, George.
When did you get back?

1128
01:06:45,334 --> 01:06:48,295
Last night. But it was late.
I didn't want to roust you out.

1129
01:06:48,379 --> 01:06:49,422
I want to congratulate you

1130
01:06:49,505 --> 01:06:51,007
on that herd
getting through.

1131
01:06:51,090 --> 01:06:52,842
Everyone in Washington
is elated.

1132
01:06:52,925 --> 01:06:54,051
It was a surprise,
wasn't it?

1133
01:06:54,093 --> 01:06:55,428
It certainly was.

1134
01:06:55,469 --> 01:06:56,804
Do you mind if I use
your telegrapher?

1135
01:06:56,887 --> 01:06:58,764
I'd like to wire General Halleck
that I've arrived.

1136
01:06:58,806 --> 01:07:00,266
Help yourself.

1137
01:07:00,933 --> 01:07:02,101
Ramsey.

1138
01:07:02,143 --> 01:07:03,477
Ramsey: Yes, sir.

1139
01:07:39,638 --> 01:07:43,267
Colonel,
I was just getting ready

1140
01:07:43,309 --> 01:07:45,061
to bring you some horses.

1141
01:07:45,853 --> 01:07:47,438
Yes, I know.

1142
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,732
You almost had me,
didn't you, Lex?

1143
01:07:52,193 --> 01:07:53,986
I'm afraid
I don't understand.

1144
01:07:54,028 --> 01:07:55,321
You're out to get me,

1145
01:07:55,362 --> 01:07:57,531
but by a rare stroke of fortune,
I got you first.

1146
01:07:57,615 --> 01:07:59,241
It's the little
accidental things

1147
01:07:59,325 --> 01:08:01,494
that sometimes change the course
of history, isn't it?

1148
01:08:01,535 --> 01:08:03,496
For instance,
if you hadn't told Erin

1149
01:08:03,537 --> 01:08:05,164
that young Jamie
had been found,

1150
01:08:05,206 --> 01:08:07,333
our positions
might be reversed.

1151
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,794
I still don't understand.

1152
01:08:09,835 --> 01:08:11,378
You made a mistake.

1153
01:08:11,462 --> 01:08:12,713
Your information
about Jamie

1154
01:08:12,797 --> 01:08:15,216
could only have come
from George Sharpe.

1155
01:08:15,299 --> 01:08:17,176
And he made a mistake, too.

1156
01:08:17,218 --> 01:08:19,220
He called Ramsey by name
when, by all odds,

1157
01:08:19,303 --> 01:08:20,805
he should never
have known it.

1158
01:08:21,180 --> 01:08:22,890
What does all this prove,
colonel?

1159
01:08:22,973 --> 01:08:24,683
Nothing,
but I got curious.

1160
01:08:24,767 --> 01:08:26,977
I took Ramsey riding
with me yesterday.

1161
01:08:27,019 --> 01:08:28,896
We happened to run
onto Pete Elm.

1162
01:08:28,979 --> 01:08:31,857
As you said,
he has his uses.

1163
01:08:31,899 --> 01:08:33,150
Ramsey talked.

1164
01:08:33,192 --> 01:08:34,610
One of the things
he admitted was that

1165
01:08:34,693 --> 01:08:37,029
they know nothing about you
back in Washington.

1166
01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:40,574
You're doing this thing alone,
against orders.

1167
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:42,493
All you've got to do
is get rid of me,

1168
01:08:42,535 --> 01:08:44,370
and you're in the clear,
is that it?

1169
01:08:44,411 --> 01:08:47,206
Yes. Raise your hands.

1170
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:49,834
Stand up.

1171
01:08:54,380 --> 01:08:55,840

Yes, and that

Ferguson

you're going to be if --

1178

Hold it, Elm.

1179

I'm sorry this had to happen,
Lex.

and all of them dead now.

You're in
an unusual predicament,

one that can be
of great service to me.

1184
01:09:39,175 --> 01:09:40,426
You're a northern agent,

1185
01:09:40,509 --> 01:09:41,927
but nobody's alive
to prove it.

1186
01:09:41,969 --> 01:09:43,929
With your record,
everyone believes you

1187
01:09:43,971 --> 01:09:45,097
to be a southern agent.

1188
01:09:45,514 --> 01:09:47,600
I'll have to hang you for that
in the morning.

1189
01:09:47,641 --> 01:09:50,102
That, and the murder
of Colonel Sharpe.

1190
01:09:50,186 --> 01:09:53,189
Then our clever Mr. Quint
can report to Washington

1191
01:09:53,272 --> 01:09:55,649
that the rebel spy ring
has been smashed,

1192

and its leader --
<i>you</i> -- executed.

1193
01:09:58,736 --> 01:10:01,530
That will leave me free
to go on taking your horses.

it'll be the south.
