Cheyenne Autumn

en
00:03:37 The beginning of a day.
00:03:39 September 7th, 1878.
00:03:44 It dawned like any other day
00:03:49 ... in that vast barren land
00:03:53 ... which was then called
00:05:18 But this wasn't just
00:05:23 Far from their homeland...
00:05:24 ... as out of place in this desert
00:05:28 ... their three great chiefs
00:05:32 ... that at last,
00:05:34 ... when the white man sent them here
00:05:37 ... would today be honored.
00:05:40 The promises that had led them
00:05:43 ... in their own green and fertile country,
00:06:40 - Good morning, Wichowsky.
00:06:45 Thank you.
00:07:20 - Good morning.
00:07:26 Can I steal some of your coffee?
00:07:28 - Help yourself.
00:07:34 Any news?
00:07:35 Here comes another name now.
00:07:39 - Senator.
00:07:42 Looks like we're gonna be up
00:07:45 Well, the more the better.
00:07:48 I wish every bigwig in Washington
00:08:08 Deborah, they're here already.
00:08:53 Lord knows when
00:08:58 I don't blame them for being early.
00:09:01 You and I know what this means
00:09:16 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J...
00:09:21 ...K., L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S,
00:09:26 Wonderful.
00:09:36 Attention!
00:09:38 - Scott.
00:09:41 - Sergeant.
00:09:43 - Archer.
00:09:50 - Indians, huh?
00:09:54 Any word
00:09:56 They haven't left Fort Scott yet.
00:10:00 Well, let me know. Keep me advised.
00:10:02 Yes, sir.
00:10:05 Wichowsky, put the men at ease.
00:10:08 Let them smoke...
00:10:12 ...if they've got anything to smoke,
00:10:17 At ease!
00:10:19 You're ready to smoke!
00:10:25 - Good morning, friend Thomas.
00:10:29 Well, now, where have you been
00:10:33 That's pretty stylish for a Quaker.
00:10:36 I made it just for this great day.
00:10:38 It's mighty pretty.
00:10:40 Do you know when they'll arrive?
00:10:42 Well, you can't expect speed
00:10:45 ...but they ought to be here
00:10:49 Well, I'd offer to help you,
00:10:52 Oh, don't I, now?
00:10:54 Well, the leg on the senator's chair
00:10:57 Senator, huh?
00:10:59 Well, let's see what's wrong.
00:11:09 There we are.
00:11:13 All neat and tidy for the senator.
00:11:16 - Thank you.
00:11:36 Friend Deborah,
00:11:41 I think I'll put him
00:11:43 He'd like that.
00:12:30 Plumtree, go down the road.
00:12:32 Let us know when those gentlemen
00:12:56 Hour after hour
00:13:00 Waited for the moment
00:13:03 When the white chiefs from Washington
00:13:07 ... how the Cheyenne
00:13:37 - Archer!
00:13:40 When is that blasted party
00:13:42 - I don't know, sir.
00:13:49 - Hey, you.
00:13:50 Any news on that party
00:13:52 No. No, sir. Nothing since 11:30.
00:13:54 Eleven-thirty?
00:13:58 - Do you realize it's 5:30 now?
00:15:25 Archer, see what he wants.
00:15:30 Plumtree.
00:15:31 I ain't a-getting paid for thinking, sir
00:15:44 Just came in from Fort Reno, sir.
00:15:51 I'll be damned!
00:15:53 "Congressional Committee delayed
00:15:58 Decided to return to Reno in order
00:16:06 You mean
00:16:23 How long do they expect me to wait
00:16:26 Archer, I'm going to Fort Reno,
00:16:31 Friend major, please...
00:16:34 ...will you tell them about the medicine
00:16:38 And all the things
00:16:42 Uncle, you must make him listen.
00:16:45 How can I?
00:16:47 You know what he thinks of Quakers.
00:16:50 You've been here from the beginning.
00:16:52 You've watched them die of smallpox
00:16:57 You've watched them starve.
00:17:01 Nothing that you can't say better.
00:17:33 Major Braden!
00:17:36 I'm asking you to plead for justice.
00:17:39 I'm asking you to make them realize...
00:17:41 ...that over a thousand Cheyenne
00:17:43 ...and only 286 are left alive.
00:17:49 Miss Wright, my responsibility to the Indians
00:17:55 When you have reached my age,
00:17:58 ...that it pays to stick
00:18:01 That's exactly what I intend to do.
00:18:24 Dull Knife! Little Wolf!
00:18:34 What happened today
00:18:38 The Indian Bureau
00:18:40 ...with adequate clothing and rations.
00:18:43 You are still pledged
00:18:47 Remember that.
00:18:50 We are asked to remember much.
00:18:56 The white man remembers nothing.
00:19:04 You spoke the truth for us.
00:19:09 This we will not forget.
00:19:16 But there will be no more school.
00:19:21 Oh, no.
00:19:22 Oh, no, please don't do that
00:19:24 The white man's words are lies!
00:19:29 It is better that our children
00:19:35 It is not the words,
00:19:39 Has speaking white men's words
00:19:42 Our words were learned long ago.
00:19:46 When some white men
00:20:18 And so began, what to most people...
00:20:20 ... must seem to be
00:20:46 It ain't in my department, sir...
00:20:47 ...but looks to me
00:21:24 You're gonna be pretty lonesome,
00:21:28 No scholars.
00:21:31 They'll come.
00:21:33 When?
00:22:16 Spanish Woman!
00:22:32 Friend Deborah, leave this place.
00:22:36 Friend Thomas, you know
00:22:40 I can't leave now.
00:22:41 Bunking in this schoolhouse
00:22:43 It will show them
00:22:47 Not unless you can change color.
00:22:51 You know what they call whites?
00:22:55 - And veho means "spider"!
00:22:57 That's right.
00:22:59 - That's what they think of all of us.
00:23:02 How many Cheyennes have you fought?
00:23:05 Deborah, look, will you take
00:23:09 You claim no self-respecting Quaker
00:23:14 ...but you've fallen in love
00:23:17 Have you ever seen a Cheyenne?
00:23:18 - Of course, I have.
00:23:21 All you've seen is reservation Indians,
00:23:25 But give them a chance, they're
00:23:31 Will you listen to me?
00:23:34 It takes a blue coat to make
00:23:37 But a Cheyenne is a soldier
00:23:42 War is his life.
00:23:46 And he's meaner than sin.
00:23:49 Possibly you can only think of the past,
00:24:04 All right.
00:24:06 You think of the future.
00:24:20 Want some help?
00:24:22 I'll manage.
00:24:29 Better keep that lamp lit tonight.
00:24:41 And if anything happens,
00:27:32 - Little Wolf.
00:27:34 - What's happened?
00:28:26 Spanish Woman...
00:28:30 ...where are they going?
00:28:32 - Home.
00:28:35 What you call Yellowstone country.
00:28:40 What about the children?
00:28:43 They are Cheyenne.
00:28:45 But who will care for them?
00:28:47 We will do what we can.
00:28:49 They are Cheyenne.
00:29:08 Dull Knife, the old chief
00:29:12 He'll never make such a trip.
00:29:14 If he lives to ride
00:29:17 ...he will die as a man should.
00:29:19 There will be no more dying
00:30:34 They've skipped.
00:30:37 Thank God.
00:30:40 What the hell do you mean by that?
00:30:42 I've waited since I was 10 years old
00:30:45 Then you're a damned idiot.
00:30:47 I want D Troop ready
00:30:49 E Troop and wagons to follow
00:30:51 No artillery. Plumtree!
00:30:53 - Come here!
00:33:27 E Troop and train reporting, sir.
00:33:30 You brought the wagons
00:33:33 Draft animals can't stand it.
00:33:35 They can rest up tonight.
00:33:37 They can?
00:33:39 Well, that's an assumption
00:33:43 We're gonna keep moving.
00:33:45 That's fine with me, sir.
00:33:48 - Scott, tell me something.
00:33:51 What put the blood in your eye?
00:33:54 It's just a private matter, sir.
00:33:55 Nothing that affects
00:34:01 My father died
00:34:07 Mother and I were at the fort
00:34:11 I was only 10 years old.
00:34:15 Until that time,
00:34:18 Well, that doesn't give you
00:34:21 The job of this Army
00:34:23 I understand, sir.
00:34:25 You do, huh?
00:34:27 Well, just make sure you understand...
00:34:29 ...these Cheyenne broke no law
00:34:32 And they won't
00:34:35 So if you provoke trouble...
00:34:37 ...I’ll see that you lose
00:34:40 ...if I have to tear them off myself.
00:34:44 Understood?
00:34:45 Understood, sir.
00:34:51 Mr. Scott!
00:35:00 Sir?
00:35:03 I knew your father.
00:35:05 - Guide on!
00:35:26 Troop, halt!
00:35:55 Prepare to dismount!
00:35:58 Prepare to dismount!
00:36:02 Dismount!
00:36:20 - Sir!
00:36:22 Are you going to let them jump
00:36:24 They haven't jumped the reservation.
00:36:26 They haven't crossed the river yet.
00:36:29 - Sir, I most respectfully object to...
00:36:33 Join your troop, mister.
00:37:04 Sir.
00:37:06 No. No, thanks.
00:38:46 Spanish Woman, what's happening?
00:38:49 I think war.
00:38:51 Spanish Woman, speak to Dull Knife.
00:38:54 He'll listen to you.
00:38:57 I can do nothing.
00:38:59 Nothing.
00:39:29 - School teacher.
00:39:31 Take the children, join the others.
00:40:55 Troop, halt!
00:40:58 Troop, halt!
00:41:14 - Plumtree.
00:41:17 I don't like the look of it.
00:41:20 Take a look up that canyon.
00:41:22 - Yes, sir.
00:41:28 Jones!
00:41:31 Name's Smith, sir.
00:41:33 Oh, well, go on up with him. Go on!
00:42:28 - All right?
00:42:30 But that canyon there
00:42:33 - On ride into line! Yo!
00:42:37 On ride into line! Yo!
00:43:21 You've got a lot to explain
00:43:23 Sergeant...
00:43:28 Cannon's ready?
00:43:29 Forward on the double!
00:43:32 Cannon forward on the double!
00:43:35 Prepare to dismount!
00:43:37 - Prepare to dismount!
00:43:40 Now!
00:43:46 Motion!
00:43:53 All soldiers to the rear!
00:43:56 All soldiers to the rear!
00:43:59 Stop!
00:44:10 - Major, I've got to tell you...
00:44:13 ...the majority of those people
00:44:16 - Maybe 50 or 60 warriors.
00:44:19 Number one gun, fire!
00:44:22 Number two gun, fire!
00:44:46 Fire number one.
00:44:48 Fire.
00:46:04 Cease firing!
00:46:06 Where's the major?
00:46:17 - Is he?
00:47:05 They're angry because my son fired
00:47:15 Does it ever matter
00:47:30 Those dirty, murdering...
00:47:32 - The major's dead, sir.
00:47:34 - I said, the major's dead, sir!
00:47:36 Aren't you gonna give them a?
00:47:38 Plumtree, Brown,
00:47:41 - Yes, sir.
00:47:47 - Name's Smith, sir.
00:48:27 My son says,
00:48:30 Dull Knife, you know the soldiers
00:48:35 Have you thought what will happen
00:48:38 There will be war.
00:48:41 - Little Wolf.
00:48:46 I pray the young one
00:48:49 But I want them to be born where I
00:48:55 Even a dog can go where he likes...
00:48:58 ...but not a Cheyenne.
00:49:03 You may go where you like.
00:50:10 No.
00:50:14 No.
00:50:20 No.
00:50:32 But...
00:53:05 The report
00:53:07 ... to headquarters in Omaha listed
00:53:11 ... in the troop's first encounter
00:53:18 But by the time it came off
00:53:21 ... somehow it had
00:53:29 And suddenly it expanded
00:53:34 ... when the news reached
00:53:39 Meanwhile, the Army was frantically
00:53:44 ... that still lay between the Cheyenne
00:53:51 The railroads they had to cross
00:53:55 River crossings watched.
00:53:59 The alarm was spreading
00:54:03 Settlers crossing the plains
00:54:06 Or they rushed frantically
00:54:10 No one asked how many Indians
00:54:14 The word Cheyenne was enough.
00:54:17 And in Washington heated words
00:54:21 The Department of the Interior
00:54:24 ... with western railroad tycoons,
00:54:28 All such people to whom Indian scares
00:54:33 While the generals came
00:54:36 ... the Secretary of the Interior.
00:54:38 In his misguided effort to eliminate
00:54:43 ... it was Mr. Schurz who had brought
00:54:46 And to the Army
00:54:48 ... who had encouraged
00:54:51 In all the land there was not one voice
00:54:57 In The Sun, the Times, Chronicle.
00:55:01 Take your pick. They're all saying
00:55:04 "Bloodthirsty savages on the loose.
00:55:07 Burning, killing,
00:55:10 It's not news anymore.
00:55:13 We're gonna take a different tack.
00:55:14 From now on, we're going to grieve
00:55:20 We'll sell more paper that way.
00:55:22 Now, see to it!
00:55:31 But by now any rumor
00:55:34 Because suddenly the news
00:55:40 The Cheyenne and their pursuers
00:55:43 ... and silence
00:55:57 - Mr. Secretary.
00:56:01 Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary.
00:56:04 Now, no matter
00:56:06 We assure you there's nothing personal
00:56:10 The entire Senate
00:56:12 ...you know that.
00:56:15 But all I know is that you're trying
00:56:19 ...from my department
00:56:23 Mr. Senator?
00:56:25 Have you ever seen a Cheyenne?
00:56:28 An Arapaho? Any Indian?
00:56:31 Have you ever been west
00:56:34 - What are driving at, sir?
00:56:36 Why are three eastern senators
00:56:40 Well, it's strictly
00:56:43 The Army has to be out there anyway.
00:56:45 Oh, so that's all it is.
00:56:47 I was afraid perhaps that some
00:56:50 ...who are sleeping on my doorstep
00:56:54 Sir, are you questioning
00:56:56 No more than I question theirs.
00:56:59 Their honest purpose
00:57:02 ...the Indians once thought
00:57:04 You can't say that's Army policy.
00:57:05 Well, I can say it amounts
00:57:08 The smaller the reservations,
00:57:12 You let the Army have its way...
00:57:14 ...and they'll end up the size
00:57:17 Exactly what the land-grabbers want.
00:57:20 We'll be late
00:57:22 - Excuse us, Mr. Secretary.
00:57:29 You and I fought together
00:57:33 ...yet you'd never even seen
00:57:37 All you ever knew...
00:57:39 ...is that they were human beings
00:57:44 And it was worth an arm to you.
00:57:50 Carl, I'll stall this legislation, but unless
00:57:55 ...or if you make one false move,
00:58:01 God help me.
00:58:32 Leave us.
00:58:33 When Little Wolf speaks veho words
00:58:49 This I say:
00:58:52 We have always thought as one.
00:58:56 Never has the thickness
00:59:00 We still think as one.
00:59:02 As war chief...
00:59:05 ...I may raise my hand only
00:59:10 We still think as one.
00:59:21 That is why
00:59:27 ...saving all my strength for a fight
00:59:33 But your son...
00:59:37 ...tries to steal my youngest wife.
00:59:40 This cannot be.
00:59:43 He is of my blood.
00:59:46 And my blood has never been bad.
00:59:48 He is of your blood...
00:59:51 ...but he is not you.
01:01:42 Troop, halt!
01:01:44 Troop, halt!
01:01:47 Sergeant.
01:01:49 Mr. Scott.
01:01:52 Unlimber the guns!
01:01:54 If we attack,
01:01:56 - Here's what I want...
01:01:59 And a lot of flat land to cross
01:02:01 I'd rather force them to attack us.
01:02:03 - Well, they ain't done nothing foolish yet.
01:02:06 - Take D Troop, get on their flanks.
01:02:09 Mr. Scott, dismount half of E Troop
01:02:13 Then you move out with the rest
01:02:16 Yes, sir.
01:02:17 And remember, Mr. Scott...
01:02:20 ...the trick to being brave
01:02:24 - Any questions?
01:02:27 Right.
01:02:29 Plumtree, Murphy, take the point!
01:02:32 Take the point. Yo!
01:03:40 A little faster on there, come on.
01:03:43 Hurry up there.
01:03:46 You all right?
01:03:48 Well, yes, sir.
01:03:55 On left, to the line.
01:04:03 Forward at the walk. Yo!
01:04:15 Walk trot!
01:04:23 - What in the hell is that kid doing?
01:04:28 What the hell is he doing?
01:04:31 Canter!
01:04:49 Company, charge!
01:05:18 Mr. Scott!
01:05:26 Scott!
01:05:29 Damn you!
01:05:40 Front left, into line!
01:05:43 Yo!
01:05:51 Prepare to dismount.
01:07:16 - Get the guns out!
01:07:18 - Get the guns. Move!
01:07:21 - Come on, move it.
01:07:24 - Get them out of there.
01:07:25 Come on. Come on.
01:07:56 Mr. Scott!
01:08:00 - I told you to cover that flank.
01:08:04 From now on, you don't scratch
01:08:07 Yes, sir.
01:08:13 Plumtree, Thompson.
01:08:19 Here, let me help.
01:08:27 Sir...
01:09:01 Despite the Indian scare,
01:09:03 ... still came up the Chisholm Trail
01:09:06 ... to the railhead
01:09:09 Sometimes the hungry Cheyenne...
01:09:11 ... were able to pick up
01:09:14 And sometimes they even begged
01:09:40 Yo, there.
01:09:53 Jessie, Homer, Shug.
01:09:56 Hey, come on. Come here.
01:09:58 Slow down.
01:10:09 Lookit there.
01:10:49 I sure would like to have me
01:10:51 And I sure would like
01:10:55 Can't you gut-eaters
01:10:59 Yes, sir. I'd sure love
01:11:03 I dare you, Homer.
01:11:06 - You dare me?
01:12:08 I always wanted
01:12:12 All them old-timers back home...
01:12:14 ...a- hoorahing about
01:12:18 Jessie, that's one of them there,
01:12:22 We better skedaddle
01:12:24 - Let's go.
01:13:26 G-O-O-D. Good.
01:13:30 G-O-O. Good.
00:00:11 Good.
00:00:35 Where are you taking my colt?
00:00:36 Let go of my colt!
00:00:39 My colt, my colt!
00:02:04 Always, they had to move through
00:02:07 ... where the chances of detection
00:02:10 And there the land was poor
00:02:14 Always, hunger baited their heels
00:03:02 What is it?
00:03:07 I don't understand.
00:03:09 A, B, C, D.
00:03:19 Buffalo.
00:03:23 Buffalo.
00:03:26 Do you remember
00:03:31 Soon, she will see one again.
00:03:34 Many, many.
00:03:36 Always, they come from the north.
00:03:40 Always over same ground.
00:03:44 Then our bellies will be full again.
00:03:49 Bellies will be full
00:03:54 Our friends, the Dakota?
00:03:57 Sioux?
00:03:59 Will be coming south with the buffalo.
00:04:03 Always, it is so.
00:04:08 It's got to be soon.
00:04:12 Very, very soon.
00:04:27 And then in one tragic instant...
00:04:30 ... after 500 miles
00:04:35 ... hope was gone.
00:04:37 The white hunters
00:04:40 Slaughtering the buffalo
00:04:44 ... but for hides.
00:04:48 The hungry Cheyenne
00:04:58 Extra! Extra! Latest on the red devils.
00:05:01 Cheyennes attack settlers
00:05:03 Extra! Read all about it. Extra!
00:05:18 - Dog!
00:05:21 - Dog Kelly.
00:05:24 - Good to see you.
00:05:26 - Ladies.
00:05:28 Come on, come on in.
00:05:34 Cards, gentlemen, if you please.
00:05:37 Ace.
00:05:38 King. And a jack. Ace bets.
00:05:43 - Check.
00:05:46 How come you check
00:05:48 Oh, was that an ace?
00:05:51 I'm blind as a bat.
00:05:53 Now, marshal, you can see right through
00:05:56 - What's your ace worth, major?
00:06:01 Five dollars for a start.
00:06:04 Call?
00:06:05 Call.
00:06:07 Card.
00:06:09 - Ace, deuce.
00:06:14 - Champagne here.
00:06:19 Ace. Jack...
00:06:21 Say...
00:06:24 - Isn't that Wyatt Earp?
00:06:29 Excuse me, mayor.
00:06:36 - Miss Plantagenet.
00:06:39 Now, there's a real royal name,
00:06:42 ...and a noble lady.
00:06:44 - You bet 25 bucks?
00:06:47 - Wyatt?
00:06:50 Last year, back in Wichita...
00:06:54 Don't do that. Don't do that.
00:06:58 You thought this was
00:07:02 Why, you couldn't take
00:07:05 Yeah. That was when I was 10 high.
00:07:08 - Doc, what do you do?
00:07:09 Would you like to join us, madam?
00:07:14 Madam?!
00:07:16 Are you gonna sit there
00:07:19 - What kind of a marshal are you?
00:07:22 Doc Holliday, now come on,
00:07:25 - I'll call.
00:07:28 What the hell kind of talk is this?
00:07:30 Well, as I understand it,
00:07:33 ...who ain't quite made it yet,
00:07:36 I'd call it a compliment.
00:07:38 - You're out, huh?
00:07:40 Our brave marshal!
00:07:43 Why, he won't even protect
00:07:45 Wyatt Earp.
00:07:48 You sure got a great way
00:07:51 Yeah, the only trouble is, she thinks
00:07:54 ...and I just plain can't remember.
00:07:56 That makes for
00:07:58 All right, the deuces bet,
00:08:40 Hey!
00:08:55 How many men
00:08:58 Oh, about a corporal's squad.
00:09:00 A corporal's squad?
00:09:01 Oh, don't worry, mayor,
00:09:06 Why, you can't leave
00:09:09 Well, listen, I tell you
00:09:13 We'll see you when we get back.
00:09:16 I tell you, I'm gonna write
00:09:19 And when they get my letter...
00:09:21 ...you can't leave a town
00:09:54 Aren't horses in here a bit unusual?
00:09:56 What horses?
00:10:01 Ten.
00:10:24 We're dry as a bone.
00:10:29 You sound Texas.
00:10:31 We ain't heard any Texas
00:10:34 Extra! Extra! Latest in the Cheyennes.
00:10:38 Commit murder and pillage.
00:10:42 - Cheyennes commit murder...
00:10:45 You rushing for a train?
00:10:50 The fort.
00:10:52 We got a-plenty to tell them soldiers.
00:10:56 You hear that? You're too late.
00:10:58 All but a corporal's guard
00:11:01 What? Them damn fools.
00:11:03 Mister, we just fought off them
00:11:08 But we showed them how the cow eats
00:11:12 If you don't believe it,
00:11:14 After they killed poor Pete we was like
00:11:17 Injuns, huh?
00:11:21 Wyatt.
00:11:24 Wyatt, you gotta listen to me.
00:11:26 Wyatt, you gotta listen to me!
00:11:29 Quiet down there. Shut up!
00:11:31 - What's he saying?
00:11:34 You plan on putting up one of them
00:11:37 That'd look real nice.
00:11:39 Wyatt, listen. The Army's pulled out
00:11:51 - That Wyatt...
00:11:54 Yeah, I know.
00:12:04 - You know, that deck feels light.
00:12:08 I sometimes decorate cards.
00:12:10 Wyatt, have you read a paper in a week?
00:12:14 "Several herders murdered.
00:12:16 Farmhouses burned down.
00:12:19 Straggling bands of Indians
00:12:23 Immigrant trains robbed."
00:12:25 Wyatt. Wyatt.
00:12:28 - Over there are four Texans who just...
00:12:30 There are just 51 cards in that deck.
00:12:32 Are you claiming you can judge
00:12:36 - Count them.
00:12:37 - The fate of this city rests in our hands.
00:12:40 - Strike me dead if there aren't 51.
00:12:43 Oh, it's not just the town,
00:12:45 Now, you all know
00:12:47 ...coming up here
00:12:50 They haven't been coming up
00:12:52 And if this kind of stuff keeps up,
00:12:55 Bless my soul.
00:12:58 Fifty-one.
00:13:00 Now, major, you were the last one
00:13:03 ...and where's that card?
00:13:04 Every citizen of Dodge
00:13:06 Gentlemen, I swear, I didn't palm it.
00:13:09 - Major, where is the card?
00:13:11 If we shoot him, we won't have
00:13:17 - Gentlemen.
00:13:19 Now, mayor, about all these things
00:13:23 Now, did you ever in your whole life
00:13:28 You calling me a liar?
00:13:31 Take a look at them apples.
00:13:44 Well, you fellas drove
00:13:46 We got them grazing
00:13:51 Well, if you'd run
00:13:54 ...your herd would be bulging
00:13:57 Then you are calling me a liar.
00:13:59 - Gentlemen, I open for 10.
00:14:02 - I'll see that and I'll raise it.
00:14:05 I don't give a damn
00:14:09 Take that back now!
00:14:11 - Ace checks.
00:14:16 I don't doubt your word.
00:14:20 You question my eyesight too, mister?
00:14:23 Kings say 20.
00:14:27 I'll up you 20.
00:14:30 Something smells of fish. I draw.
00:14:32 Wyatt, come on.
00:14:35 Are you still calling me a liar
00:14:38 I'd purely love to have your scalp too.
00:14:44 Now, Texas, you're just talking
00:14:50 Not me...
00:15:04 Your deal, marshal.
00:15:11 Wyatt! Wyatt!
00:15:13 That fella's bleeding all over
00:15:17 I seen you operate on a horse once
00:15:20 It's awful noisy in here.
00:15:22 - I'm out.
00:15:24 - I raise.
00:15:27 ...and raise you 20.
00:15:29 All right. A fella just wants
00:15:41 While you're thinking it over, major...
00:15:47 All right, come on.
00:15:49 Oh, no, Wyatt, not the bar!
00:15:52 Take him outside.
00:15:54 It's genuine mahogany, Wyatt!
00:16:01 - All right, put him up on the bar.
00:16:05 - Take him outside. Put him on his horse!
00:16:08 - All right, shut up!
00:16:12 It's gonna stain.
00:16:15 Don't you cowpokes
00:16:17 I do. Occas... Every once in a while.
00:16:20 - Jessie.
00:16:22 - Here.
00:16:24 - Plantagenet.
00:16:29 Thank you. Would you hold
00:16:31 Hold it up high. Now you, I want you
00:16:35 Don't even blink.
00:16:39 Keep your eye right on, Homer.
00:16:42 Keep your eye right on the bottle.
00:16:43 You're not gonna even feel it.
00:16:50 Give me the bottle again.
00:16:55 One side, please.
00:17:09 What if that ash fell by mistake?
00:17:12 Wyatt might shoot you, by mistake.
00:17:37 There it is. Miss, may I?
00:17:42 All right, take him away.
00:17:48 Hey, wait a minute.
00:17:54 There you are. Good as new.
00:18:01 Hey, Dog, you missed one.
00:18:04 Hey, hey, come on, come on.
00:18:06 Come on. Get out.
00:18:12 Honest game.
00:18:15 Major, you have any news for me?
00:18:17 I know you're bluffing, Earp, I'm out.
00:18:34 Say, you're the doctor around here.
00:18:36 How come I always have to perform
00:18:41 You know I'm a dentist, not a doctor.
00:18:44 Wait till somebody
00:18:47 It's your deal.
00:19:13 Come on. Are you sure
00:19:16 Come on, men. Get it up here.
00:19:19 Go on out there. Load it up there.
00:19:24 Come on, men. Get it up here.
00:19:26 Mayor, what in the blazes
00:19:29 Loading ammunition. What's it look like?
00:19:32 - Grant took Richmond with less than that.
00:19:36 Well, now, mayor, hold on.
00:19:40 ...seeing how you control
00:19:43 ...and I get 10 percent of the take...
00:19:46 ...what would happen to my livelihood
00:19:51 So it behooves him to keep you
00:19:54 Mayor, why don't you go back
00:19:57 ...and just see that precious hide of yours
00:20:03 And the doctor here and me,
00:20:33 - Ladies and gentle...
00:20:45 Marshal... I mean, field marshal,
00:20:59 Colonel, he's here.
00:21:02 You know,
00:21:04 Say, say, miss. Where you going?
00:21:09 Following the flag, Mr. Earp.
00:21:12 Where the men go, we go.
00:21:18 I'd say that's quite understandable, Wyatt.
00:21:21 I know. I know. I know.
00:21:24 All right, sergeant.
00:21:27 Blow your horn.
00:22:35 General, do you mind confiding your plan
00:22:40 Not at all. Not at all.
00:22:42 From which direction are these blood-thirsty
00:22:49 Southwest, of course.
00:22:50 And in which direction
00:22:55 Northeast.
00:22:57 That's my plan of campaign.
00:23:04 Have a beer, ma'am.
00:23:23 There they are. Indians! Indians!
00:23:47 Doctor, as a Christian gentleman,
00:23:52 - But let's get the hell out of here?
00:24:15 Help!
00:24:32 Hey, grab that Miss What's-Her...
00:24:44 Help!
00:24:47 Grab her, Doc.
00:24:49 Grab her. Don't let her get away.
00:24:51 Come on, grab...
00:25:23 By golly, I did know her in Wichita.
00:25:28 And so ended
00:25:32 Casualties: one silk dress.
00:27:54 - Essex, sir.
00:28:05 - Coffee, sir?
00:28:37 Here's the answer
00:28:44 - Help yourself.
00:28:52 - Important?
00:28:55 No reinforcements available.
00:28:57 Well, didn't you tell them
00:29:00 Yes, sir, I told them
00:29:04 I haven't even seen the captain
00:29:07 There've been too many
00:29:10 We'll have to wait until we can swear
00:29:16 - lf they haven't crossed already.
00:29:19 Nobody could,
00:29:21 You're not talking about Cheyenne.
00:29:25 Well, tomorrow come sunup I'm sending out
00:31:00 With 900 miles still to go
00:31:04 ... the Cheyenne suddenly faced
00:31:09 The long line of steel rails
00:31:26 Well, what do you think you're doing?
00:31:29 Have a snort.
00:31:31 Where the hell did you get that?
00:31:37 - See that nice, shiny boot?
00:31:40 Captain What's-His-Name
00:31:43 A doughfoot.
00:31:45 Now, why do infantry officers
00:31:48 I'll bite, why?
00:31:52 To hide whiskey bottles in.
00:31:56 Look, sergeant.
00:31:58 You sober up and be ready to move out
00:32:03 ...or you're Mr. Wichowsky.
00:32:07 Sonny?
00:32:09 Sonny.
00:32:12 It's plain to see you ain't the officer
00:32:16 - No.
00:32:19 ...as of 10 days ago.
00:32:24 Thirty years.
00:32:27 Thirty years and 10 days.
00:32:30 Thank you. Thank you.
00:32:32 You're talking to Mr. Wichowsky.
00:32:37 So climb off that high horse...
00:32:40 ...and drink me a little toast.
00:32:43 No, no.
00:32:45 You climb off your high horse
00:32:48 You're re-enlisting as of right now.
00:32:52 - Oh, no, I ain't.
00:32:54 - You wanna know why?
00:32:56 - I'm a Pole.
00:32:58 You know what they have
00:33:00 - What have they got?
00:33:03 - You know what a Cossack is?
00:33:06 A Cossack is a man on a horse...
00:33:09 ...with a fur cap on his head
00:33:14 Now he kills Poles
00:33:18 Like we're trying to kill Indians
00:33:26 I was proud
00:33:30 But I ain't proud to be a Cossack.
00:33:32 Wichowsky,
00:33:36 I fought Indians
00:33:39 Not just some poor, starving
00:33:56 All right, Mr. Wichowsky.
00:34:11 Did you say you had a drink for me?
00:34:13 Well, sure, Tom.
00:34:16 Thank you very much, Stanislaus.
00:34:23 See you around.
00:36:14 Hey, doughfoot,
00:36:18 They must've skedaddled when they heard
00:36:22 "Manure-spreader."
00:36:29 Hey, wait a minute.
00:36:54 Hey, Smitty, can you read?
00:36:56 Well, sure I can read.
00:36:58 And write.
00:37:02 "Deborah Wright.
00:37:05 Her book."
00:37:45 - Sir.
00:37:48 - Sir, we...
00:37:52 We found this in the river.
00:38:08 Means they've crossed.
00:38:10 What, sir?
00:38:14 - Trumpeter. Boots and saddles.
00:38:28 Good luck, sir.
00:38:45 Well, good morning, Mr. Wichowsky.
00:38:49 Sergeant Wichowsky, sir,
00:38:54 - Sign me in.
00:39:10 Troop forward at the canter. Yo!
00:39:36 And so the pursuit continued...
00:39:38 ... across changing terrain
00:39:43 ... the pursuers sometimes almost
00:39:57 Halt! Who goes there?
00:39:59 Mr. Scott!
00:40:10 Well.
00:40:12 Lieutenant Scott
00:40:23 Did the surgeon release you?
00:40:26 I slipped away, sir.
00:40:30 And how about
00:40:33 Well, he slipped away too, sir.
00:40:36 I see.
00:40:40 - You know something, Mr. Scott?
00:40:43 You might make a soldier after all.
00:40:46 - Well, thank you, sir.
00:40:48 - Wichowsky.
00:40:49 - Boots and saddles.
00:40:52 - Boots and saddles.
00:40:55 What's the matter, sir?
00:41:25 Fort Robinson is near here.
00:41:28 - lf we go there...
00:41:30 ...there is no hope of victory.
00:41:34 We will die
00:41:36 There was hope in your heart
00:41:40 Where has it gone?
00:41:43 Maybe the hunger
00:41:47 ...has clawed my hope away too.
00:41:53 Why was I given this?
00:41:56 Why?
00:41:58 To lead our people home.
00:42:03 If we go on, the children will die.
00:42:09 If we go to Fort Robinson...
00:42:13 ...you will speak for us?
00:42:18 Yes, of course.
00:42:22 The straw has come between us.
00:42:26 Yes.
00:42:29 Now our people must choose...
00:42:32 ...who they want to follow.
00:43:47 And so in the grim north
00:43:50 ... with less than 700 miles to go...
00:43:52 ... and over 800 miles
00:43:57 ... the Cheyenne nation broke apart.
00:44:37 Off to your right, now.
00:44:40 That way.
00:44:58 - Cheyenne, sir.
00:45:01 Find shelter for them.
00:45:03 And give them good fire.
00:45:06 Sir.
00:45:12 Yeah, yeah.
00:45:14 This will make me a major.
00:45:31 Would you be pulling the curtain?
00:46:08 That must have been a terrible,
00:46:18 Well, it's exhaustion and malnutrition.
00:46:23 Oh, it's a horrible leg altogether.
00:46:26 But we'll feed her and keep her warm.
00:46:31 And I'm afraid, after a while,
00:46:57 I wish...
00:47:01 I wish I were a better doctor.
00:47:40 Captain Archer, sir.
00:47:42 Captain Oskar Wessels.
00:47:45 Well.
00:47:49 There are your Cheyenne.
00:47:56 Yeah, yeah.
00:47:59 Fenimore Cooper
00:48:02 ...but his books
00:48:05 Here.
00:48:06 Half the volumes you see here
00:48:09 ...and culture,
00:48:12 Captain Wessels neglects to mention
00:48:17 So, captain, you don't believe
00:48:21 ...the face of the earth
00:48:24 Nein, no, of course not.
00:48:27 Miss Wright,
00:48:30 ...since we could enjoy
00:48:32 Here... Does cigar smoke bother you?
00:48:34 Friend Captain, I'm so happy to be warm
00:48:37 ...that nothing could bother me.
00:48:44 Yes?
00:48:48 Excuse me.
00:48:52 Headquarters, sir. Urgent.
00:48:58 Stand by.
00:49:01 "Omaha.
00:49:02 Cheyennes
00:49:05 ...and then returned south
00:49:15 But they surrendered voluntarily.
00:49:17 Oh, this is simply a military routine.
00:49:21 ...and are to be returned there.
00:49:24 These people could never
00:49:28 Excuse me.
00:49:41 Captain Archer, I feel as you do,
00:49:45 An order.
00:49:48 - Mr. Peterson.
00:49:53 Warehouse is empty,
00:49:55 Captain, the fort area
00:49:58 Where can they even try to go
00:50:01 This order came to me
00:50:05 I can take no chances.
00:50:21 You claim to be a doctor.
00:50:23 You gonna let him put those women and
00:50:29 What are you gonna do about it?
00:50:35 What are you gonna do about it?
00:50:54 As ordered, sir.
00:50:57 Orders are orders.
00:52:15 Well, this time we ain't the Cossacks.
00:52:20 Well?
00:53:36 I'm commander of this post.
00:53:38 All messages
00:53:47 I read your report, captain.
00:53:51 It doesn't begin to give a picture
00:53:53 Well, one must be tactful
00:53:56 - Would you have me call them "fools"?
00:53:59 I'd have you tell them the truth.
00:54:03 They have given me an order.
00:54:06 An order.
00:54:08 I questioned it once,
00:54:14 Accept no more messages
00:54:16 He'll accept this one
00:54:21 I have a month's leave.
00:54:23 Why? Why at this time?
00:54:25 I'm not required to tell you why.
00:55:00 - Lock the door.
00:55:02 - I said, lock the door!
00:55:05 Never mind!
00:55:14 You, Dull Knife.
00:55:19 You and your people will be prepared
00:55:23 We will not go back.
00:55:26 You have no other choice.
00:55:27 If you try to force us...
00:55:36 ...first I die.
00:55:40 We will not go back.
00:55:47 Who in here speaks English?
00:55:49 Besides this? This chief?
00:55:55 Yes?
00:55:57 You?
00:55:59 Yes.
00:56:01 You will tell your people...
00:56:04 ...that I've tried to get the order
00:56:08 But the order stands.
00:56:12 However...
00:56:16 ...I will provide additional wagons
00:56:21 And you will further tell them
00:56:26 ...this chief is brave, but no longer wise.
00:56:33 They must obey just as I obey.
00:56:38 They will not go back.
00:56:41 Life there is not life.
00:56:45 They will die here.
00:56:49 Authority must and will be obeyed.
00:56:53 They will die here.
00:56:59 There will be no more food, no more water.
00:57:05 And...
00:57:07 And no more firewood...
00:57:13 ...until they change their minds.
00:57:17 They will not go back.
00:57:33 - Hello.
00:57:41 - She's not gonna lose her?
00:57:43 Not at all.
00:57:47 You know,
00:57:52 See that?
00:57:55 - Amazing.
00:57:59 - Take a look at himself, will you?
00:58:01 Hello, sir.
00:58:03 Aye, just pneumonia, all right.
00:58:05 But he's young and strong,
00:58:08 - I'm throwing him out tomorrow.
00:58:13 Now, what's this, huh?
00:58:14 T-R...
00:58:19 - A.
00:58:21 - I.
00:58:23 - N.
00:58:25 - Train.
00:58:28 That's good. That's very good.
00:58:32 Bye, honey.
00:58:35 - Good luck, Scott.
00:58:37 I'll need it.
00:58:42 You're going away?
00:58:45 I hope you'll be here when I get back.
00:58:49 T-R-A-I-N.
00:58:52 Miss Wright, if you please.
00:59:10 I hope you know
00:59:12 - Let's go.
00:59:36 Yes?
00:59:38 I was told the secretary
00:59:41 Were you also told
00:59:45 Well, sir, I am also a very busy man.
00:59:49 And what is your name?
00:59:50 Archer. Captain Archer.
00:59:56 I do not see the name
00:59:59 Look, sir, I have to get back
01:00:02 Fort Robinson?
01:00:05 I've been wanting to meet someone
01:00:09 - Come with me.
01:00:10 Gentlemen, gentlemen. Please.
01:00:23 Come in.
01:00:25 - Captain Archer, aren't you?
01:00:28 This is my hideout.
01:00:29 This is where I keep away
01:00:33 Excuse me, but I have an appointment
01:00:36 - The secretary judge...
01:00:38 Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
01:00:42 Nobody does. Sit down, sit down.
01:00:44 Oh, thank you.
01:00:48 Captain.
01:00:50 I understand you're quite unpopular over
01:00:55 For what purpose?
01:00:59 Is that why you wanted
01:01:01 I'm not supposed to discuss this
01:01:05 Well, if it concerns the Indians
01:01:10 I'd like to know why
01:01:13 ...your commission
01:01:21 I'd like to know, confidentially,
01:01:28 I don't often manage to hear it.
01:01:32 Well, sir.
01:01:34 At Fort Robinson, I've seen respect
01:01:38 ...gone stark-raving mad.
01:01:41 Those Indians are dying of cold
01:01:47 I only heard they were being,
01:01:53 - "Disciplined"?
01:01:55 "Murdered" is the right word.
01:01:59 And you'd like me to do something
01:02:02 Sir, I only know what those Cheyenne
01:02:06 If the people had seen it,
01:02:11 The people?
01:02:23 Captain...
01:02:27 ...you're asking me to make
01:02:30 ...that a lot of people
01:02:34 They need your help, sir.
01:02:40 There's a train at 7 this evening
01:02:45 Thank you.
01:02:48 Thank you very much, sir.
01:03:09 Old friend.
01:03:14 Old friend.
01:03:17 What would you do?
01:04:10 They sound like a thousand banshees
01:04:13 ...keening over the grave
01:04:17 Young lady, you don't seem to realize
01:04:20 You know the Army
01:04:22 Now you listen to me for a minute
01:04:26 Look, when I was studying medicine
01:04:28 ...it was read a book, look at a corpse
01:04:32 Well, the Civil War changed all that.
01:04:34 Civil War was my salvation.
01:04:36 I stepped right off a boat
01:04:39 ...and I had a good sense
01:04:41 Now, all I've done ever since
01:04:44 ...and give doses of castor oil.
01:04:46 Look, I starved to death
01:04:49 - You use the word lightly.
01:04:51 I think the Cheyenne
01:04:53 Now listen to me, Miss Wright.
01:04:55 You're a Quaker and you're dedicated
01:04:58 ...while I'm dedicated
01:05:01 You want me to go out there,
01:05:03 Yeah, and take me future,
01:05:06 ...and throw it down the drain.
01:05:09 Yeah, well, that's exactly
01:05:32 Captain, you've got trouble
01:05:36 Trouble?
01:05:37 How can there be trouble?
01:05:40 - Their bare hands, maybe.
01:05:44 The question is,
01:05:47 Responsible?
01:05:50 I am responsible for nothing.
01:05:53 They could've walked out of there
01:05:58 I have simply been the instrument
01:06:02 An order I did not agree with.
01:06:05 You say that as if you've memorized it.
01:06:08 Why? Why do you talk to me?
01:06:10 Why don't you talk to those Indians?
01:06:14 Any time.
01:06:19 First, it was the order from headquarters.
01:06:22 Everybody is to blame but you.
01:06:28 I will not stand
01:06:31 - The truth of the matter is that you've...
01:06:34 ...let this become a test of wills
01:06:37 You have made it
01:06:40 You are a liar.
01:06:44 You lie!
01:06:48 Nothing I have done is personal.
01:06:54 I am a soldier.
01:06:56 I was a soldier in Prussia,
01:07:00 All my life, I have given
01:07:05 What would be this world
01:07:09 Chaos. Anarchy.
01:07:16 Well, I will not let that start here.
01:07:20 And you...
01:07:22 You. You, oh...
01:07:25 I will not let you spread these lies.
01:07:30 You are under arrest.
01:07:35 Gentlemen!
01:07:46 Mr. Peterson.
01:07:48 Lieutenant Peterson, bear witness.
01:07:53 I have just arrested this man.
01:07:56 You are mistaken, captain.
01:07:58 I am not under arrest, but you are.
01:08:03 The regulations state
01:08:06 - Yeah, I know the regulations...
01:08:09 - "Alcoholism"?!
01:08:12 ...is not capable of command...
01:08:15 ...he may be removed."
01:08:17 You are the one with brain disease,
01:08:19 I am doing just that, sir.
01:08:21 - You'll be court-martialed and shot!
01:08:24 ...but I am assuming full responsibility.
01:08:27 You are confined to quarters.
01:08:29 - Quarters?
01:08:48 Mr. Peterson, I am taking
01:09:59 Enemy! Enemy!
01:10:16 On the double! On the double!
01:10:34 Oh, glory be to God.
01:10:57 Back to work!
01:11:00 Stop it, you idiots! Stop it!
01:11:51 Has authority
01:12:20 As if guided by the instinct
01:12:24 ... the survivors of the Cheyenne
01:12:28 ... from the territory they had fled...
01:12:30 ... at a place in the arid hills of Dakota
01:12:34 ... called, in their language,
01:14:12 Cavalry in position, sir.
01:14:22 Colonel, I'd like to have you meet
01:14:27 Well, I'm glad to see you,
01:14:30 Riding all night didn't help
01:14:33 - Is that coffee I smell?
01:14:36 - Archer, sir.
01:14:37 Thank you.
01:14:39 - You see those guns, Mr. Secretary?
01:14:42 Well, in just about
01:14:44 Yes, I know, I know.
01:14:47 But not before I've had a chance
01:14:51 Well, now this is hardly
01:14:54 Army coffee hasn't improved
01:14:58 I have my orders
01:15:02 One question, colonel.
01:15:04 Do you enjoy killing Indians?
01:15:08 - Well, no, of course, sir, but I have...
01:15:12 - The orders have been changed?
01:15:16 ...is property controlled
01:15:19 Now, I either parley
01:15:22 ...or I consider you
01:15:24 Well, that's absurd, Mr. Secretary.
01:15:26 Colonel, I know I may be
01:15:29 ...but that's for the courts to decide.
01:15:34 - You ever had lumbago?
01:16:16 Little Wolf, Dull Knife,
01:16:22 ...one of the chiefs
01:16:25 - They both speak English, sir.
01:16:29 I know how many promises
01:16:34 But I'm not here to make any promises.
01:16:38 I'm asking you to take a gamble.
01:16:40 All veho words are the same.
01:16:46 You keep us talking.
01:16:50 - The soldiers...
01:16:57 You've made one of the most
01:17:01 You deserve to go back to your homeland
01:17:06 I'm sure that the people of this country
01:17:10 ...when they hear the facts.
01:17:12 Now will you take the gamble?
01:17:14 The people? Who will tell them?
01:17:19 Who will tell the people
01:17:24 I will.
01:17:26 I promise you.
01:17:30 You call this "Victory Cave."
01:17:33 You can have another
01:17:41 He speaks the truth.
01:17:52 We have no...
01:17:57 Tobacco.
01:17:59 No tobacco for the peace pipe.
01:18:07 Maybe we can start a new custom.
01:18:19 Thank you.
01:18:32 But there were still wounds to heal...
01:18:35 ... and there was still peace to be made
01:18:38 ... through the long, heroic march.
01:18:41 And there were still some who had
01:18:44 ... to the land of the Cheyenne.
01:20:50 And so when the nation was safe...
01:20:53 ... the sacred bundle, symbol of the chief
01:20:59 ... for no one could carry it who had shed
01:22:21 Home.
01:22:23 H-O-M-E, home.
01:22:27 H-O-M-E, home.
