00:02:43 Get in there, Luke.
00:02:49 Come on, there.
00:02:50 - Driver?
00:02:52 Driver, how much further
00:02:55 ...or whatever you call
00:02:57 Hassayampa?
00:03:01 Once over the rise and round the bend,
00:03:06 According to your schedule,
00:03:09 You don't suppose we could've
00:03:13 Might of, at that.
00:03:15 Don't you worry, soldier boy.
00:03:19 Soldier boy.
00:03:22 What a country.
00:03:27 Mule Creek, Deadman's Squaw,
00:03:32 Hangman's Flats, Hassayampa.
00:03:35 At end of the rainbow, Fort Apache.
00:03:38 Fort Apache.
00:03:40 Blast an ungrateful war department
00:03:44 Anyway, I'll be with you.
00:03:46 I hated all those years
00:03:49 Better there than here.
00:03:52 I didn't mean it that way, Phil.
00:03:54 It's just that after all I've done and been,
00:04:22 We're coming in.
00:04:26 Practically.
00:04:52 - Ma Macbean?
00:04:54 - Nice trip, boys?
00:04:56 How far is it to Fort Apache?
00:04:58 Oh, the fort's 35 miles south of here.
00:05:02 - I telegraphed.
00:05:03 Telegraphs doesn't mean a thing.
00:05:05 One day the wire's up,
00:05:08 Thirty-five miles south.
00:05:11 No.
00:05:12 There must be some way
00:05:14 - A what?
00:05:16 Nothing fit for the lassie to ride in.
00:05:19 Oh, my, that's a real bonny bonnet, miss.
00:05:23 - St. Louis?
00:05:25 - Oh, Boston, Massachusetts?
00:05:28 Oh, my.
00:05:35 That's mighty pretty, Ma.
00:05:37 Oh, my.
00:05:39 Oh, would you not like a wee cup of tea
00:05:42 Thank you.
00:05:44 Not a bit, lass, not a bit.
00:05:50 Son, how about a drink?
00:05:53 Gentlemen, I could use one.
00:05:57 Women.
00:06:08 There's your towel.
00:06:10 Thanks, Ma.
00:06:26 Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I thought it was Ma.
00:06:39 Who and what are you, mister?
00:06:40 Lieutenant Michael O'Rourke, sir.
00:06:44 - Get into uniform, mister.
00:06:47 - Is there another wash-up back here, mister?
00:06:55 Soldiers.
00:07:04 Giddap. Giddap.
00:07:30 - Johnny Reb.
00:07:32 - Timmy.
00:07:34 Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:07:44 Sergeant Mulcahy,
00:07:47 ...for Lieutenant Michael O'Rourke.
00:07:52 Very good, sergeant. At ease.
00:07:54 At ease, he says. At ease.
00:07:58 Hey! Hey!
00:08:05 - How much you pay for it?
00:08:07 - I could've swiped you one better than that.
00:08:10 Well, look at the fit. A perfect soldier.
00:08:14 What do you think of it, ma'am?
00:08:17 Wonderful.
00:08:23 Ma'am, this is my godson
00:08:32 Many's the time he's come to me
00:08:36 Attention!
00:08:45 I am Colonel Thursday.
00:08:49 - No, sir.
00:08:51 Escorting the ambulance from Fort Apache
00:08:55 - Have you had no orders regarding me?
00:08:57 They couldn't have known
00:09:00 That's obvious, mister.
00:09:02 Unless it's the custom at Fort Apache...
00:09:04 ...to provide transportation
00:09:07 ...and leave a commanding officer
00:09:11 You will, of course, sir,
00:09:13 Thank you, mister.
00:09:15 - Sergeant, we'll leave in one half-hour.
00:09:18 Get these men a drink
00:09:20 - We thank the colonel.
00:09:24 Oh, may I present Mr. O'Brien.
00:09:27 O'Rourke, sir.
00:09:29 O'Rourke. This is my daughter
00:09:33 How do you do.
00:09:37 Your servant, ma'am.
00:09:45 Four bottles of cool beer, Ma.
00:09:47 And I'll have the same
00:11:34 Halt, who goes there?
00:11:36 The new commanding officer.
00:11:37 Holy Moses.
00:11:39 No, the new commanding officer.
00:11:48 Attention!
00:11:58 At your ease, gentlemen.
00:12:04 - Thursday.
00:12:09 How do you do, Mrs. Collingwood.
00:12:11 Well, thank you, Owen.
00:12:18 And this must be Philadelphia.
00:12:20 You don't remember me, do you?
00:12:22 Emily Collingwood.
00:12:27 Why, of course.
00:12:33 - We didn't expect you.
00:12:36 Captain York.
00:12:41 I'm Captain York, sir.
00:12:46 I'm not a general, captain.
00:12:48 I'm paid in the rank
00:12:50 I remembered you as a general
00:12:52 Very flattering. Didn't you receive
00:12:56 The wires have been down between here
00:12:59 We've had no communications.
00:13:00 Two days? The break
00:13:02 It's 110 miles to Fort Grant, sir.
00:13:05 Then I take it this dance is not in my honor.
00:13:08 - It's a birthday dance, sir.
00:13:11 General George Washington's, sir.
00:13:14 Shall I show you to your quarters,
00:13:18 - Well, under the circumstances, I...
00:13:51 Hi, Dad.
00:14:09 Mickey.
00:14:32 Woman of the house, your son is home.
00:14:39 - Son.
00:14:47 Oh, how fine you look.
00:14:51 Oh, Michael, stand over beside the boy
00:14:56 Oh, you're just exactly the same.
00:14:57 Now, come over here and sit down
00:15:00 Gee, Ma, you haven't changed a bit.
00:15:03 And why would it?
00:15:06 Or did you think to find me
00:15:09 Woman, I'll leave you alone
00:15:11 Lieutenant Michael O'Rourke, sir.
00:15:13 Have I the lieutenant's permission
00:15:16 Sergeant Major O'Rourke has permission.
00:15:18 Thank you, sir.
00:15:22 Michael, God's blessing on you this day.
00:15:25 Boys, I'm not a drinking man,
00:15:28 And tonight, if the sutler's store
00:15:30 Michael, darling, if it ain't,
00:15:58 Dad?
00:16:51 Good morning.
00:16:55 It's all right.
00:16:56 There's no one here but me,
00:17:03 Did you want to see Father or me?
00:17:05 Well, neither, really.
00:17:10 I just called to leave my card.
00:17:13 Oh, how nice.
00:17:15 But if you didn't want
00:17:17 I mean, if you don't want to see us...
00:17:20 ...then what do you want
00:17:22 I didn't say I didn't want to see you.
00:17:24 Why, you did so.
00:17:25 I asked if you wanted
00:17:28 ...and you said, your exact words,
00:17:32 Well, what I meant to say was
00:17:35 Well, who did you expect to see?
00:17:37 After all, we do live here.
00:17:45 Why don't you sit down?
00:18:15 Good morning, good morning,
00:18:18 - Good morning, sir.
00:18:20 I got some bad news for you.
00:18:23 Michael Shannon O'Rourke,
00:18:27 Leaving your calling cards already,
00:18:29 He can keep his old cards.
00:18:31 Oh, he can't do that. Protocol requires it.
00:18:34 An officer, upon reporting
00:18:36 ...must wait upon his commanding officer
00:18:39 He will leave his card.
00:18:41 He will leave an additional card for each
00:18:44 All other officers on the post...
00:18:46 ...will leave their cards at the quarters
00:18:49 Right. Now do you understand?
00:18:52 - It was just a duty call?
00:18:56 But there's nothing in the regulations
00:18:59 ...should receive such cards
00:19:04 Pish-tush. This is not a nightie.
00:19:08 - I wouldn't know.
00:19:11 Well, hand them over to her, Mickey.
00:19:14 Oh, I get it, Miss Thursday.
00:19:16 The lieutenant expected someone
00:19:19 - A what?
00:19:21 He drop the cards in that
00:19:23 You don't happen to have
00:19:25 A silver salver?
00:19:28 Why, last night I slept
00:19:36 Attention! Sergeant Major O'Rourke, sir.
00:19:40 At ease.
00:19:42 - Did you say, "O'Rourke"?
00:19:45 Place seems to be full of O'Rourkes.
00:19:47 Have the trumpeter sound
00:19:49 Officer's call?
00:19:51 How long you been
00:19:52 In the United States Army?
00:19:54 Then you've heard of officer's call.
00:19:58 Yes, sir.
00:20:00 - Derice, sound officer's call.
00:20:02 No, next Christmas, you loony.
00:20:04 Then you've heard of officer's call.
00:20:11 "War Department, Washington, D.C.
00:20:15 One. Lieutenant Colonel Owen Thursday
00:20:19 ...and will proceed to Fort Apache,
00:20:21 ...and upon arrival assume
00:20:24 Travel directed... " And so forth.
00:20:25 "By direction of the Secretary of War,
00:20:29 In compliance with these orders,
00:20:33 ...relieving Captain Kirby York,
00:20:36 Captain Collingwood is relieved of
00:20:39 ...and returned to his troop.
00:20:40 Lieutenant Gates is appointed adjutant.
00:20:44 At ease, gentlemen.
00:20:46 Gentlemen, I did not seek this command,
00:20:51 ...I intend to make this regiment
00:20:55 I fully realize that prolonged duty
00:21:00 ...can lead to carelessness...
00:21:03 ...and inefficiency,
00:21:07 I call it to your attention
00:21:09 ...has reported here this morning
00:21:13 The uniform, gentlemen, is not a subject
00:21:18 We're not cowboys at this post...
00:21:20 ...nor freighters with a load of alfalfa.
00:21:24 Mr. Murphy.
00:21:27 O'Rourke, sir.
00:21:29 Mr. O'Rourke, will you step forward.
00:21:33 Gentlemen, I call your attention
00:21:38 Being fresh from West Point...
00:21:40 ...Mr. O'Rourke has not forgotten
00:21:43 I trust my other officers will
00:21:46 And I will insist they be enforced
00:21:53 Understand me, gentlemen,
00:21:56 But I do want to take pride
00:22:01 We here have little chance for glory
00:22:05 While some of our brother officers
00:22:08 ...their well-publicized campaigns against
00:22:11 ...the Sioux and the Cheyenne...
00:22:14 ...we are asked to ward off
00:22:18 ...of a few cowardly Digger Indians.
00:22:20 Your pardon, colonel. You'd hardly
00:22:25 You'd scarcely compare them
00:22:27 No, I don't.
00:22:29 The Sioux once raided
00:22:32 Old-timers told me you could follow
00:22:34 ...by the bones of their dead.
00:22:37 I suggest the Apache
00:22:40 ...judging by a few of the specimens
00:22:43 Well, if you saw them, sir,
00:22:45 We'll discuss the Apache
00:22:48 The immediate point, gentlemen,
00:22:52 If we don't understand
00:22:55 Questions?
00:22:57 Good morning, gentlemen. You may return
00:23:01 Captain Collingwood, will you remain?
00:23:09 Go on.
00:23:12 Gentlemen, are there any questions?
00:23:14 If there are none, I intend
00:23:18 Good morning, gentlemen.
00:23:20 Report to your coop.
00:23:22 Sir.
00:23:29 Nothing personal in this, Sam.
00:23:31 No explanations, Owen.
00:23:35 - Although, once, I tried.
00:23:38 No, nothing.
00:23:40 You did what you did.
00:23:43 I did what I did.
00:23:47 - Well, you've wound up here too.
00:23:49 I've not wound up.
00:23:53 They've pushed me aside,
00:23:55 But they'll not keep me buried.
00:23:58 This isn't a country for glory,
00:24:00 I'll take my risks. I always have.
00:24:02 Well, then all I can do is
00:24:06 And I wish you that sincerely.
00:24:08 Thank you, Sam.
00:24:12 Will you have a drink?
00:24:18 No, thanks, Owen.
00:24:23 Even for me.
00:24:32 Anything new about my transfer?
00:24:34 - Sorry, sir, nothing yet.
00:24:39 - O'Rourke.
00:24:41 I require a mount. Have two or three
00:24:44 - Yes, sir.
00:24:53 Sir.
00:24:54 This Lieutenant O'Rourke,
00:24:59 Not by chance, sir. By blood.
00:25:03 I see.
00:25:07 How did he happen
00:25:09 It happened by presidential
00:25:12 Are you a former officer, O'Rourke?
00:25:15 During the war, I was a major
00:25:18 The Irish Brigade, sir.
00:25:19 Still, it's been my impression that
00:25:22 ...were restricted to sons
00:25:25 That is my impression too, sir.
00:25:31 Yes, sergeant. It will.
00:26:54 - Good morning.
00:26:55 - Good morning.
00:27:04 - Good morning.
00:27:06 Excuse me. Could you tell me
00:27:09 - Oh, right in there, dear.
00:27:14 - Good morning.
00:27:18 L... I was just...
00:27:20 Nonsense. Come in, dear.
00:27:24 I was just passing and...
00:27:26 My, what a beautiful sideboard.
00:27:29 And those candlesticks.
00:27:31 They were my Aunt Martha's.
00:27:32 I was her favorite niece,
00:27:35 ...she left her fortune
00:27:37 ...and the candlesticks to me.
00:27:39 They're lovely.
00:27:41 Everything is.
00:27:43 But our place, it...
00:27:48 - Oh, you poor child.
00:27:51 - Mrs. Collingwood.
00:27:53 Aunt Emily, what does a woman
00:27:56 Our things haven't...
00:27:59 Do I get someone to help me or?
00:28:00 Owen. Owen Thursday. That man.
00:28:03 Now, don't you fret, dear.
00:28:05 In times of trouble,
00:28:07 - Mrs. O'Rourke?
00:28:11 Martha, where's Mrs. O'Rourke?
00:28:13 - Mrs. O'Rourke.
00:28:15 - Mrs. O'Rourke.
00:28:18 - Mrs. O'Rourke.
00:28:21 Yes, Mrs. Collingwood? Yes?
00:28:24 Mary, this is Colonel Thursday's
00:28:27 ...and this is Mrs. O'Rourke,
00:28:29 ...and the mother
00:28:31 How do you do, Mrs. O'Rourke.
00:28:33 Sam told me about Michael's arrival.
00:28:36 Oh, I am.
00:28:38 - How does he look?
00:28:41 I mean, he makes a very fine officer.
00:28:44 Mary, this poor child has to set up house
00:28:47 Don't you worry,
00:28:53 Well, he is nice.
00:28:59 Order. And one, two, three.
00:29:04 All right, now let's try it together.
00:29:06 Carry arm. One, two, three.
00:29:10 Put that piece on the ground.
00:29:13 Pick it up.
00:29:16 Put that piece down, soldier.
00:29:18 Well, captain, when you say carry arm,
00:29:21 - Get back in line.
00:29:24 - Shut up and put your hat on.
00:29:28 I'm sorry, soldier.
00:29:37 - How's the boy doing, Festus?
00:29:40 But nevertheless,
00:29:43 And that's no job for a gentleman.
00:29:48 Well, then.
00:29:50 Come on.
00:29:55 Would Lieutenant O'Rourke
00:29:58 But these men, they're pretty rough.
00:29:59 But the sergeants... The sergeants
00:30:03 Very well.
00:30:06 Yes, sir.
00:30:07 Now, the first thing to do after becoming
00:30:12 To look like a soldier,
00:30:15 Suck in that belly.
00:30:17 Straighten up those legs.
00:30:20 Wait a minute, Daniel, darling.
00:30:29 I'm gonna make this squad the finest party
00:30:42 Get back in line there.
00:30:44 Hold your head up.
00:30:48 Heels together and your toes apart.
00:30:51 At the approximate angle of 45 degrees.
00:30:54 I've never seen such a ragged line.
00:30:56 - Just come out and look at yourselves.
00:31:09 Now, is there any man here
00:31:15 Is there any man here from Cork?
00:31:22 Is there any man here
00:31:24 Yes, sir.
00:31:28 Now, we don't want to show any
00:31:30 ...but you're now an acting corporal.
00:31:33 Now, Sergeant Shattuck will take you
00:31:38 That is, by numbers.
00:31:44 Come on, get back in line there.
00:31:46 Get on your feet. Get in here.
00:31:52 Hello, son.
00:31:55 It's from your mother and myself.
00:31:56 Oh, gee, Dad, he's a beauty.
00:31:58 He's thoroughbred and Morgan.
00:32:10 Come on.
00:32:24 Hey, Dad, he's a beauty.
00:32:26 He's a leaper, that one.
00:32:30 Four. One, two, three, four.
00:32:33 One, two, three, four.
00:32:38 There's Sergeant John McAfferty
00:32:41 They make us march up to the crack
00:32:45 The drums they roll upon my soul
00:32:49 Forty miles a day on beans and hay
00:32:53 There's Sergeant John McAfferty
00:32:56 They make us march up to the crack
00:33:00 The drums they roll upon my soul
00:33:04 Forty miles a day on beans and hay
00:33:07 - Those recruits, captain?
00:33:11 They show promise.
00:33:12 A good officer, that O'Rourke.
00:33:14 West Point training, colonel.
00:33:22 Surprise.
00:33:24 Well, what do you think
00:33:27 Well, did you do all this yourself?
00:33:29 Naturally. Even moved the piano.
00:33:32 No. Mrs. Collingwood
00:33:36 They were wonderful.
00:33:37 Mrs. Collingwood gave me
00:33:39 ...and Mrs. Grayson gave us
00:33:43 He was a very famous man.
00:33:45 And Mrs. Tompkins gave us that chair,
00:33:49 Only it doesn't quite match the room.
00:33:53 And Francisco gave us Guadalupe.
00:33:56 How do you do.
00:33:58 She's our cook.
00:34:08 I'm proud of you.
00:34:10 Someday you're going to be
00:34:15 And Dr. Wilkens
00:34:19 - It's a little rump sprung, he...
00:34:21 But very comfortable.
00:34:23 And I helped with the dinner.
00:35:18 I'm sorry, I... I forgot to tell you.
00:35:20 It does that sometimes.
00:35:32 Good evening, sir.
00:35:33 I'm sorry to interrupt, but Fort Grant
00:35:37 Have any of our patrols reported,
00:35:39 No, sir.
00:35:41 Keep the wire open to Fort Grant.
00:35:43 - I'll return to the headquarters
00:35:49 My cap and gloves.
00:35:51 Guadalupe.
00:36:02 But, Dad. Dinner.
00:36:05 Don't wait for me. I may be hours.
00:36:13 There'll be other dinners, Phil.
00:36:15 Yes, Dad.
00:36:27 It's all right, Guadalupe.
00:36:30 We'll cook other dinners together.
00:36:47 - Phil.
00:36:52 - Having a party. Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:36:55 It's just a little welcome
00:36:59 Your servant, ma'am.
00:37:00 Couldn't have come at a better time.
00:37:03 - No one more welcome.
00:37:05 Now then, who shall get this prize?
00:37:07 Our host, of course.
00:37:08 I don't trust you, Sam Collingwood.
00:37:11 No, you shall sit here on my right,
00:37:14 Thank you.
00:37:16 So Lieutenant O'Rourke
00:37:18 - Well, I don't know whether that's fair.
00:37:20 - Because you'll have to look at him.
00:37:23 - You don't drink wine, do you?
00:37:25 - Good girl, Philadelphia.
00:37:27 Were you born in Philadelphia?
00:37:28 No, Pomfret, Connecticut.
00:37:31 Oh, she was born in Philadelphia.
00:37:32 No, Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
00:37:35 Grandmother was the first
00:37:38 - Oh, then she was...?
00:37:42 Let's ta... Let's talk about horses.
00:37:44 Do you ride, Pawtuc... Pom... Phil?
00:37:46 - Yes, I do.
00:37:49 We'll have to order some nice
00:37:53 Emily.
00:37:54 - Shall we leave the men to
00:37:57 - Have a cigar, Kirby, and I'll join you.
00:38:00 I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have
00:38:05 - I think you'll get along even without me.
00:38:08 We're just marking time, you know.
00:38:10 Sam has applied for transfer
00:38:13 Oh, I didn't know.
00:38:15 When are you leaving, captain?
00:38:16 Leaving? Leaving for where?
00:38:19 Leave my own party?
00:38:22 Phil meant for the academy, Sam.
00:38:25 Oh, that.
00:38:28 Soon, I hope.
00:38:30 Or they may reject me.
00:38:32 Oh, Sam. Sam, they couldn't.
00:38:37 They've had my application
00:38:39 You know how the Army is, Sam.
00:38:41 Yes, and I know its opinion of me.
00:38:44 And you know our opinion of you too.
00:38:48 And you know what the men
00:38:54 Captain, lieutenant, my compliments.
00:40:56 Bravo, Quincannon.
00:41:02 Thank you, Quincannon. Thank you.
00:41:03 One before each meal.
00:41:05 Sergeant, take him
00:41:07 There was Sergeant John McAfferty
00:41:13 This is against all tradition.
00:41:15 A man comes to serenade a lady,
00:41:18 Her husband and half the regiment
00:41:20 - I am crushed.
00:41:22 You only serenade
00:41:24 And for good reason, ma'am.
00:41:26 Seeing what a sorry
00:41:29 ...the husband takes pity on me
00:41:32 Oh, good evening, Captain Collingwood.
00:41:34 - This is blackmail, but you'll find
00:41:38 The last time I looked,
00:41:41 I expect to find my property intact.
00:41:43 - The insolence of the man.
00:41:47 You are an honorable man.
00:41:48 And since this is an occasion,
00:41:52 Come.
00:41:54 Let's drink a toast
00:41:57 Miss Thursday.
00:41:59 Mickey.
00:42:03 Then you will go riding
00:42:06 Of course.
00:42:09 If you really want me to.
00:42:18 To the colonel's lady
00:42:21 - Here's luck, huh?
00:42:46 Attention!
00:42:50 Men...
00:42:51 ...today we gonna put you on the horses.
00:42:54 No more walking.
00:42:56 And by the time we get
00:42:58 ...you'll be riding like senators,
00:43:02 And your rough-riding sergeant
00:43:09 Relax!
00:43:17 Attention.
00:43:20 Gentlemen, this is a horse.
00:43:24 You will observe, it has no saddle.
00:43:26 The reason it has no saddle...
00:43:27 ...is because it will be easier for you
00:43:31 Now, before we progress...
00:43:33 ...did any of you gentlemen serve
00:43:36 ...during the War Between the States?
00:43:37 Yes, sir. I had the pride, sir,
00:43:42 - I am proud to shake your hand.
00:43:44 I hope you have the pleasure
00:43:47 An honor, sir.
00:43:48 You are now an acting corporal.
00:43:50 - Sergeant...
00:43:53 Oh, let them have one.
00:43:54 And now, gentlemen,
00:43:57 ...this member of the greatest
00:44:00 ...will show you Yankees how to ride.
00:44:13 - Attention!
00:44:15 Now you see how easy it is, gentlemen.
00:44:18 Gentlemen, to your horses.
00:44:20 - Who will be the first volunteer?
00:44:29 - Come on. Get up here.
00:44:31 - A gentleman always remounts. Get up there.
00:44:34 - Come on, then.
00:44:37 Yeah, that's it.
00:44:39 Stay on your horses, men.
00:44:40 And if you fall off, get on again.
00:44:43 It's an order in the Army,
00:44:45 ...that when you fall off your horses,
00:44:48 Stay on that horse.
00:44:50 Get back up there.
00:44:52 Get back on that horse right now.
00:44:55 Hey. Hey, get off of him.
00:44:58 Get back there on that horse.
00:44:59 Come on, get on that horse again,
00:45:01 Get up there on that horse.
00:45:03 Hey, come back here.
00:45:04 Where do you think you're going?
00:45:07 - What's the matter with you?
00:45:11 Come on. Get up there.
00:45:15 Watch it down there, boys.
00:45:19 - Come on. Get into it.
00:45:24 Hey, get back up on that horse.
00:45:26 Knees close together.
00:45:30 - Come on.
00:45:33 Stay on that horse, will you?
00:45:35 Take the reins in both hands.
00:45:41 - One at a time on that horse.
00:45:46 - Watch out, everybody.
00:45:48 Get that horse.
00:45:50 Sir, I beg to report I lost my Yankee cap.
00:45:54 Thank you, sir. Thank you.
00:46:14 Isn't this wonderful?
00:46:17 What's that over there?
00:46:19 Blue Mesa.
00:46:21 Can't we go there?
00:46:22 Well, it's not as close as it appears,
00:46:25 Are you anxious to return to the fort,
00:46:28 Oh, no, Miss Thursday.
00:46:30 Don't you like the name of Phil, Michael?
00:46:33 Of course, I do, Phil.
00:46:59 And right over there,
00:47:02 That's our main headache around here.
00:47:04 - It runs from here to Fort Grant.
00:47:08 Smoke?
00:47:10 Is it an Indian signal?
00:47:14 No, it's not an Indian signal.
00:47:19 The line went dead, sir.
00:47:23 "Meacham reports Diablo's band
00:47:26 Last seen headed S-O-U-T... "
00:47:30 South, obviously.
00:47:32 Which means they may have crossed
00:47:35 - We can't patrol all of it.
00:47:39 Think they're headed for the border
00:47:41 That's my opinion, sir.
00:47:43 And these are the three
00:47:46 Well, there are others, but those
00:47:50 Two of them in our patrol area.
00:47:53 Captain York, you and Mr. O'Rourke
00:47:56 - Mr. O'Rourke is not on the post, sir.
00:47:59 - He's out riding, sir, with your daughter.
00:48:02 - How long ago? When did they go out?
00:48:05 - Three?
00:48:07 - Positive, sir.
00:48:09 O'Rourke, hasn't that idiot son of yours
00:48:13 Taking my daughter riding.
00:48:14 Your daughter is as safe with my son
00:48:17 How safe is that
00:48:22 Get back.
00:49:24 Collingwood, take out a patrol at once.
00:49:26 York, pass the word to A and B.
00:49:29 Tell them to turn to
00:49:31 Rations for a week.
00:49:41 The wagon's burned.
00:49:45 Lieutenant Thursday.
00:49:56 Repair wagon, sir. Burned.
00:50:00 Spread-eagle on the wheels, roasted.
00:50:05 - And my daughter saw all that?
00:50:09 - I'll take your report inside, mister.
00:50:14 Are you all right, Phil?
00:50:17 Yes, Dad. I'm all right.
00:50:22 Take her inside, will you?
00:50:41 They must have jumped them at sundown.
00:50:42 It was a pretty big party.
00:50:46 Mescalero Apaches.
00:50:48 I found this.
00:50:54 - Blood.
00:50:57 It's Mescaleros, all right. Diablo's band.
00:51:00 You say their trail led off to the south?
00:51:02 It headed that way, sir, but...
00:51:05 You didn't follow it
00:51:07 No, sir. I couldn't take that risk with
00:51:11 Your caution, Mr. O'Rourke,
00:51:15 ...but somewhat belated.
00:51:18 My compliments
00:51:21 It speaks a knowledge
00:51:23 ...which I am sure you did not
00:51:29 I call it to your attention...
00:51:32 ...that in taking my daughter riding
00:51:37 ...you have been guilty of behavior...
00:51:38 ...more consistent with that
00:51:42 ...than an officer and a gentlemen.
00:51:44 If I have not made myself
00:51:48 ...I will add this:
00:51:50 You will not again ride with my daughter.
00:51:54 And for reasons which I feel it
00:51:58 ...you will avoid her company in the future.
00:52:01 But, colonel...
00:52:02 I speak to you not only
00:52:05 ...but as Philadelphia's father.
00:52:07 I think I am within a father's rights,
00:52:11 My daughter's life and safety
00:52:13 And to me, sir, I assure you.
00:52:15 Then you will all the more readily
00:52:19 Yes, sir.
00:52:24 Now, mister...
00:52:26 ...you say the break was here?
00:52:30 - Yes, sir.
00:52:34 Captain, send a wagon and detail
00:52:37 Yes, sir. Sergeant major,
00:52:40 A platoon? I said a detail, captain.
00:52:43 But the Apaches may still be around.
00:52:45 I'm running a command,
00:52:47 - Four men, I'll be in command...
00:52:50 Mr. O'Rourke in command. Have them take
00:52:54 That's a lot for men who've been
00:52:57 Thirty will be ample.
00:52:59 And 18 per revolving pistol.
00:53:01 You'll call for volunteers.
00:53:04 - With the colonel's permission, I volunteer.
00:53:07 Carry out your orders, sergeant major.
00:53:09 You'll leave within the quarter-hour,
00:53:17 Michael.
00:53:19 You know what's
00:53:21 Sure, Dad, I know.
00:53:24 Derice, go get Quincannon
00:53:27 O'Feeney, go to the stables and find
00:53:30 Tell them they're volunteering
00:53:32 Beyond the call of duty.
00:53:34 Tell them their regiment is proud of them.
00:53:36 Come on, come on.
00:53:40 You spoke before of a platoon
00:53:45 I suggest you assemble it.
00:53:48 Light marching equipment,
00:53:50 We leave in 30 minutes.
00:53:53 - You mean, we're gonna trail the wagon?
00:53:57 Collingwood.
00:53:59 You remember the paper
00:54:02 ...when he was at the Point?
00:54:05 The one on the trap
00:54:08 I do not share the popular view
00:54:15 ...but that paper impressed me.
00:54:18 Particularly the maneuver that Genghis Khan
00:54:23 You recall...?
00:54:25 - Hadn't you better be moving, captain?
00:54:28 What, no debate this time, captain?
00:54:30 No debate, sir. No questions.
00:54:49 Troop is ready, sir.
00:54:52 You're not properly uniformed, captain.
00:54:56 They look like scratch farmers
00:54:59 Their hats should be creased
00:55:01 And I don't like exposed galluses.
00:55:03 Yes, sir.
00:55:23 Move out in a column of twos, captain.
00:55:27 By twos! By the right flank!
00:55:29 Come on. Follow!
00:55:52 Woman, go on about your business.
00:56:20 Get busy with the wire, sergeant.
00:56:24 All right, you men.
00:56:26 - And work fast.
00:56:30 Many a pint I had with both of them.
00:56:35 - Why you...
00:57:02 Johnny Reb, drop it.
01:00:22 - Bugler, raise those colors to full staff.
01:00:37 Meacham.
01:00:40 - This looks deserted.
01:00:43 With the colonel's permission, sir.
01:00:53 The door is open, sir.
01:00:59 - Open the shutters. Get the stench out.
01:01:02 Meacham.
01:01:11 - Well, Mr. York.
01:01:21 By your leave, sir.
01:01:25 Another exile in our wilderness.
01:01:27 Colonel Thursday,
01:01:29 Your servant, Mr. Thursday.
01:01:30 - May the Lord...
01:01:32 Oh, bless you, I pay no attention
01:01:36 I don't believe in titles of any kind.
01:01:38 We're all his brothers, his children.
01:01:40 Even these savages entrusted to my care.
01:01:43 - I feed them and clothe them...
01:01:46 I have a license.
01:01:48 Spirits have their uses.
01:01:51 Perhaps the colonel would like a drink
01:01:55 No? Your health.
01:01:58 Mr. Meacham...
01:02:00 ...a band of Indians
01:02:02 That's right. That Diablo and 30 others,
01:02:06 I treat them well.
01:02:09 - Knives, calico, wool...
01:02:11 No.
01:02:13 Mist... Colonel Thursday,
01:02:16 They like their bright toys.
01:02:20 Winchester seven-shot repeaters
01:02:22 Captain York, I am attempting
01:02:25 Yes, sir.
01:02:33 Right, sir.
01:02:38 There's no reason, to your knowledge...
01:02:39 ...why a band of Apache should
01:02:42 Not the warpath.
01:02:45 Mister, two of my troopers are dead.
01:02:48 Not by my Apaches.
01:02:51 How can you be sure?
01:02:53 We've taken Diablo and his band,
01:02:55 - They'll be here soon.
01:02:57 You'll assign a troop
01:02:59 That's what I've been telling Mr. York.
01:03:02 How can I, one lone man,
01:03:05 Now you see what's happened.
01:03:07 Two of your men have been killed.
01:03:09 Brave men, serving their country, as I am.
01:03:12 This wouldn't have happened
01:03:14 - Oh, you mealy-mouthed...
01:03:17 Mr. Meacham is a representative
01:03:20 He will be treated with due respect.
01:03:22 - May I say something, sir?
01:03:26 No troop or squadron or regiment's gonna
01:03:29 ...unless they wanna stay here.
01:03:31 Five years ago,
01:03:34 He and his Chiricahuas
01:03:36 ...came on the reservation.
01:03:38 They wanted to live here in peace,
01:03:42 And then Meacham here was sent
01:03:44 That's a lie. I been...
01:03:45 The dirtiest, most corrupt
01:03:48 Then it began. Whiskey, but no beef.
01:03:52 The women degraded, the children sickly,
01:03:57 So Cochise did the only thing
01:03:59 He left. Took most of his people
01:04:02 - He broke his treaty.
01:04:04 Rather than see his nation wiped out.
01:04:06 The law's the law, and I demand
01:04:09 Any demands you wish to make...
01:04:11 ...you will make through
01:04:14 Do not again employ that word
01:04:17 - No offense, sir. No offense.
01:04:20 - Lead the way. Come along, sir.
01:04:22 - To your storehouse.
01:04:25 Here, sir.
01:04:28 - Mister... Colonel Thursday, I protest.
01:04:32 - What's in these boxes?
01:04:34 - That's all it is...
01:04:48 What's this scale used for?
01:04:50 Weigh government beef rations.
01:04:52 I seem to have gained 75 pounds
01:05:06 Bibles, sir.
01:05:08 Sergeant, pour me some scripture.
01:05:20 What's in this, brimstone and sulfur?
01:05:22 You know what it is.
01:05:24 Your license permits you
01:05:26 ...but this is no whiskey.
01:05:28 You're not used to frontier whiskey.
01:05:29 I don't know. I've tasted most everything.
01:05:31 Sergeant, you a judge of whiskey?
01:05:35 Well, sir, some people say I am,
01:05:38 Tell me what you make of this.
01:05:55 Well...
01:05:57 ...it's better than no whiskey at all, sir.
01:05:59 - Strike a match.
01:06:10 Since it doesn't appear to be whiskey...
01:06:14 ...and since it seems to be of highly
01:06:17 ...I find there's only one thing to do,
01:06:22 I protest. I'll write Washington.
01:06:24 Mr. Meacham, you're a blackguard,
01:06:27 ...and a stench in the nostrils
01:06:30 If it were in my power,
01:06:32 ...leave your carcass for the buzzards.
01:06:34 But as you are a representative
01:06:37 ...I pledge you the protection
01:06:40 Good day, sir.
01:06:42 What about these Winchesters, sir?
01:06:47 The pins are bent. Sergeant Mulcahy,
01:06:51 You heard what he said.
01:06:54 Destroy it.
01:07:07 Destroy it, he says.
01:07:13 Well, boys...
01:07:16 ...we've a man's work ahead of us
01:07:48 Unlock the door.
01:07:50 - Michael...
01:08:00 Michael.
01:08:07 Private Mulcahy.
01:08:11 Private Shattuck.
01:08:14 Private Quincannon.
01:08:16 And Private Beaufort.
01:08:19 I'm ashamed of you, the whole of youse.
01:08:21 You're a disgrace to your regiment.
01:08:23 If there was a regulation for it,
01:08:28 Michael.
01:08:32 Volunteers for the manure pile.
01:08:36 Left face.
01:08:40 Take them out of here.
01:08:42 Hup. Hup.
01:08:44 Hup. Hup. Hup.
01:08:47 All together men. Hup.
01:08:49 - There was Sergeant John McAfferty...
01:08:55 Hup, hup, hup.
01:08:59 Hup, hup, hup.
01:09:03 Hup, hup, hup.
01:09:07 Hup, hup.
01:09:10 Assuming you found Cochise...
01:09:12 ...would he listen to you,
01:09:14 Cochise knows me, sir.
01:09:18 And if you can assure him
01:09:21 I'll confess he interests me.
01:09:24 And these Eastern newspapers...
01:09:26 I hadn't realized Cochise
01:09:30 Oh, he's known.
01:09:32 He's had the laugh on every troop in
01:09:38 Six campaigns, he's outgeneraled us,
01:09:44 That's just the point, sir.
01:09:46 There aren't enough troops in the whole
01:09:49 But one man, a man he trusts,
01:09:53 A carbine against his spine
01:09:56 Well, I'll go in unarmed, sir.
01:09:59 I can't fight my way in.
01:10:04 A man who brought Cochise back...
01:10:08 I'm for it, captain.
01:10:11 One, sir. Sergeant Beaufort.
01:10:13 - Private Beaufort, sir.
01:10:15 He speaks Spanish, so does Cochise.
01:10:17 My Apache has its limits.
01:10:19 Shouldn't you take another officer instead?
01:10:21 - Sergeant Beaufort was a...
01:10:23 Private Beaufort was a major
01:10:27 An aid to Jeb Stuart.
01:10:31 I remember Cadet Stuart.
01:10:34 - Quite.
01:10:37 Were you saying something, captain?
01:10:39 I said "quite," sir.
01:10:41 I'd like to leave at once,
01:10:44 - What?
01:10:45 No, no questions.
01:10:48 - Thank you.
01:10:54 - Ready, Sergeant Beaufort?
01:10:56 - Anything is preferable to shoveling...
01:10:59 Well, here we go.
01:11:01 Private Mulcahy.
01:11:03 My compliments, sir.
01:11:09 Officers pet.
01:12:24 How's your hangover?
01:12:28 Sir, you're the nicest Yankee
01:12:42 Well, let's go.
01:13:17 Quincannon, if that's you,
01:13:26 Having dinner?
01:13:27 Well, yes, I will have a cup of tea.
01:13:30 And if you urge me,
01:13:33 Good evening, lieutenant.
01:13:36 Please don't stand.
01:13:38 - Phil... Miss Thursday, I...
01:13:41 You did leave your card, didn't you?
01:13:44 This is your card, isn't it?
01:13:46 Isn't it proper,
01:13:48 ...for an officer to call
01:13:50 It would be, except that...
01:13:51 The colonel has forbidden me
01:13:54 But you are addressing me,
01:13:56 And if... If a young man hasn't enough...
01:13:58 Enough gumption to address
01:14:01 Who, even if her father
01:14:03 I don't think he's as brave
01:14:05 - Do you, Mrs. O'Rourke?
01:14:07 Ma'am, your father is
01:14:11 His orders will be obeyed.
01:14:13 Miss Thursday,
01:14:15 Michael O'Rourke.
01:14:16 Sit down, dear.
01:14:18 And you sit down yourself.
01:14:20 And you, have you nothing to say?
01:14:22 Or have you learned your manners
01:14:25 There's much I'd say,
01:14:27 Miss Thurs...
01:14:28 Miss Thursday...
01:14:30 ...if I had any thought that it really mattered
01:14:34 But I couldn't believe you felt
01:14:37 And what way was that, lieutenant?
01:14:42 Well, I...
01:14:47 Miss Thursday, if you'll just step outside.
01:15:00 The colonel. He come.
01:15:03 He very angry.
01:15:05 He know she here.
01:15:14 Come, Philadelphia.
01:15:17 I'm not ready to leave, Father.
01:15:19 Won't you stay, colonel?
01:15:21 Thank you, Mrs. O'Rourke.
01:15:24 Well, at least allow me
01:15:28 I beg your pardon. Come, Phil.
01:15:31 Colonel Thursday, sir, I would...
01:15:32 Mr. O'Rourke, I want no words
01:15:35 - But, colonel, sir...
01:15:37 Now, get out of here
01:15:40 This is my home, Colonel Owen Thursday.
01:15:42 And in my home I will say
01:15:45 And I will remind the colonel
01:15:48 ...is contrary to Army regulations...
01:15:50 ...not to mention the code
01:15:52 Dad, please.
01:15:54 Colonel Thursday, sir,
01:15:57 ...is that I love your daughter.
01:15:58 And I ask her now,
01:16:02 Yes, Michael.
01:16:05 I see.
01:16:08 - Philadelphia, I ask you to reconsider.
01:16:11 I tell you, this is not
01:16:15 I can't believe that.
01:16:16 Sergeant Major O'Rourke,
01:16:20 But as a noncommissioned officer,
01:16:23 ...between your class and mine.
01:16:26 But Michael's an officer.
01:16:29 It makes a difference in the Army, Phil.
01:16:32 The sergeant major knows that,
01:16:34 The Army, sir, is not the whole world.
01:16:37 No, but it's your world,
01:16:41 I'm not as young as I once was.
01:16:43 With your permission,
01:16:45 That won't be necessary, sergeant major.
01:16:47 Nor need you, mister,
01:16:50 My daughter is not of legal age.
01:16:54 I'll be of age in two years.
01:16:56 Sergeant major, I beg your pardon for
01:17:01 Mr. O'Rourke, your pardon for my words.
01:17:05 I'm not a child, and I love Michael.
01:17:06 I'll arrange at once
01:17:09 You'll have two years
01:17:16 Mrs. O'Rourke...
01:17:21 ...my respects, ma'am.
01:18:34 - Ready?
01:20:43 Put the beer right back there on the table.
01:20:47 Come on, step lively, step lively.
01:20:49 Krausmeyr, one sour note out of you
01:20:53 The same goes for you, Derice.
01:21:09 Now you've got your stripes back.
01:21:11 I'll expect you to be on your best behavior
01:21:14 Oh, don't worry, Michael, me darling.
01:21:16 We'll be the models of decorum.
01:21:20 - Mulcahy, I...
01:21:22 Mulcahy, you'll not be spiking
01:21:25 Oh, just one bottle.
01:21:26 - No, sir...
01:21:28 Go on, the whole of youse.
01:21:33 - Good evening, O'Rourke.
01:21:35 And Mrs. O'Rourke.
01:21:37 - It's a fine night for a dance.
01:21:40 - Which reminds me.
01:21:44 - Good evening, O'Rourke.
01:21:46 - And Mrs. O'Rourke.
01:21:48 Oh, sergeant major, you have no idea how
01:21:52 I'm forever telling the captain...
01:21:54 ...that it's the noncommissioned officers'
01:21:58 Don't you think so, Mrs. O'Rourke?
01:21:59 - Well, of course, I...
01:22:02 ...will you please claim me for a dance?
01:22:06 - By the way, I...
01:22:20 Thank you, Krausmeyr.
01:22:22 Again, on behalf of the officers
01:22:25 ...I wish to thank the noncommissioned
01:22:29 ...for this grand party.
01:22:31 The food is exquisite.
01:22:33 And the punch, wow.
01:22:36 Good evening, Krausmeyr.
01:22:38 And so, as is customary at Fort Apache...
01:22:41 ...the commanding officer,
01:22:43 ...will lead out the wife
01:22:45 ...the charming Mrs. Michael O'Rourke.
01:23:11 With your permission...
01:23:13 ...Mrs. O'Rourke, may I have the honor?
01:23:16 It will be a pleasure, Colonel Thursday.
01:23:24 And now, Sergeant Major O'Rourke
01:23:29 ...in this case, his lovely daughter,
01:23:43 And now, ladies and gentlemen...
01:23:46 ...quickly take your partners
01:24:02 - My pleasure, miss.
01:24:06 Get out of my way, Meacham,
01:24:11 Of course, with your permission.
01:27:10 Walk him around then rub him down,
01:27:29 Captain York.
01:27:37 - Well?
01:27:40 He's coming in with all his people,
01:27:43 - He's returned to American soil?
01:27:45 Now, with the colonel's permission...
01:27:47 ...I'd like to shake some of this Mexican
01:27:51 There'll be no time for that.
01:27:54 The regiment?
01:27:55 Cochise says he'll meet with you
01:28:00 We'll take a small detail and go unarmed.
01:28:02 I've arranged a rendezvous
01:28:05 Sergeant major, you'll stop the dance.
01:28:06 Pass the word to the first sergeants.
01:28:10 Troop commanders will meet
01:28:12 Colonel, if you send out the regiment,
01:28:16 Exactly. We have tricked him.
01:28:18 Tricked him into returning to American soil.
01:28:21 Colonel Thursday,
01:28:25 No man is gonna
01:28:27 Your word to a breechclouted savage?
01:28:29 An illiterate, uncivilized murderer
01:28:33 There's no question of honor, sir,
01:28:36 There is to me, sir.
01:28:40 Captain York...
01:28:42 ...you may have commanded
01:28:45 ...but so long as you command a troop
01:28:50 You have your instructions, sergeant major.
01:29:01 Ladies and gentlemen...
01:29:03 ...officers and noncommissioned officers,
01:29:07 By order of the commanding officer...
01:29:09 ...this night's entertainment will conclude
01:29:13 After the dance, all first sergeants...
01:29:16 ...quartermasters, saddler sergeants,
01:29:19 ...report to me at headquarters.
01:29:22 Ladies and gentlemen...
01:29:24 ...the noncommissioned officers
01:29:27 ...offer their deep regrets.
01:29:29 And on their behalf, I wish to thank you
01:29:33 Krausmeyr, if you please.
01:29:47 Is it to your taste, Johnny, darling?
01:31:10 Column of fours.
01:31:13 - First troop, fours left.
01:31:20 Fours left.
01:31:30 Fours left.
01:32:46 Mrs. Collingwood. Excuse me, ma'am.
01:32:48 It's Captain Collingwood's transfer, ma'am.
01:32:52 Oh, run. Run or send someone after.
01:32:54 Yes, Aunt Emily.
01:32:56 - I don't know.
01:33:00 Sam's no coward. He never was.
01:33:02 Who's talking about cowardice?
01:33:11 Don't be a fool, woman.
01:33:13 Tom, get mounted.
01:33:15 No.
01:33:17 - Keep this for the captain's return.
01:34:10 I can't see him.
01:34:13 All I can see is the flags.
01:35:04 Squadron, halt.
01:35:08 Halt!
01:35:29 It's the encampment, sir.
01:35:30 Must be about a mile up.
01:35:32 Three hundred wickiups or more.
01:35:34 Very good.
01:35:36 Bugler, my compliments
01:35:39 - Have him report to me.
01:35:55 Yes?
01:35:56 Is that approximately where you were
01:35:59 Just about.
01:36:01 My officers will address me as "sir,"
01:36:04 Yes, sir. Will that be all, sir?
01:36:05 It will not.
01:36:07 I propose, York, to deploy the men.
01:36:11 - We will then converge on the encampment.
01:36:14 I'm not asking your advice, captain.
01:36:17 The Apache, sir,
01:36:20 Nor are they in their encampment.
01:36:22 But if you'd have been watching the dust
01:36:26 ...you'd see that
01:36:53 That's Alchesay.
01:36:54 They out number us four to one.
01:36:56 Do we talk or fight?
01:36:59 You seem easily impressed
01:37:09 However,
01:37:12 Tell him we've come to talk.
01:38:24 Gentlemen, I have the honor...
01:38:26 ...to present the great hereditary war chief
01:38:30 Get on with it, captain.
01:38:32 Take over, Beaufort.
01:38:43 Good afternoon.
01:38:49 Gentlemen, this is Alchesay,
01:38:54 ...Satanta of the Mescaleros...
01:38:56 ...and the Chiricahua
01:38:58 ...named Jerome in our language,
01:39:02 Well, time to get on with it, Beaufort.
01:39:22 - What's he saying?
01:39:25 They've never been conquered.
01:39:30 But it is not well for a nation
01:39:34 The young men die.
01:39:38 The women sing sad songs.
01:39:42 And the old ones are hungry
01:39:48 And so I led my people from the hills.
01:39:52 And then came this man.
01:40:03 - What did he say?
01:40:05 ...a translation would be that
01:40:08 ...of dubious antecedents
01:40:10 Cochise's words,
01:40:14 That's a matter of opinion.
01:40:20 He is worse than war.
01:40:23 He not only kill the men...
01:40:26 ...but the women, and the children...
01:40:29 ...and the old ones.
01:40:34 We look to the great white father
01:40:38 He gave us slow death.
01:40:46 We will not return
01:40:50 ...while that man is there...
01:40:53 ...or anyone like him.
01:40:57 Send him away
01:41:00 If you do not send him away...
01:41:03 ...there will be war.
01:41:10 And for each one of us
01:41:13 ...ten white men will die.
01:41:15 - Are you threatening us?
01:41:17 I'll not sit here and be threatened.
01:41:19 No preliminary nonsense with him,
01:41:23 Straight from the shoulders.
01:41:25 They're recalcitrant swine.
01:41:28 He's only speaking the truth, sir.
01:41:29 Is there anyone in this regiment
01:41:32 - What does the colonel wish me to say, sir?
01:41:36 Tell them they're not talking to me
01:41:40 Tell him that government orders them
01:41:44 And tell them if they've not started
01:42:59 Bugler...
01:43:01 ...sound forward.
01:43:06 Forward.
01:44:26 I don't see them. Not a one.
01:44:28 Well, they're down there, sir,
01:44:34 - Have you seen them, captain?
01:44:37 - How?
01:44:40 ...that's where I'd take up position.
01:44:42 And that dust cloud beyond?
01:44:44 It's an Apache trick. Probably squaws
01:44:51 Very ingenious, captain.
01:44:54 You make me suspect your Cochise
01:44:57 ...or Bonaparte, at the least.
01:44:59 March your troops.
01:45:02 Mounted in fours?
01:45:04 - I tell you, they're down there.
01:45:07 Captain York, you're relieved
01:45:11 There is no room in this regiment
01:45:16 At your service, sir.
01:45:18 - Bugler, pick up Captain York's gauntlet.
01:45:38 I'm no duelist, captain.
01:45:40 I will decide whether I will answer you
01:45:45 You will remain on the ridge, in safety,
01:45:50 Take O'Rourke with you.
01:45:58 Gentlemen, you have your orders.
01:46:01 Are there any other questions?
01:46:08 Captain Collingwood?
01:46:11 No questions, Owen.
01:46:14 Gentlemen, join your troops.
01:46:28 A charge. Mounted in fours.
01:46:30 - They're madmen.
01:46:34 And take O'Rourke with me.
01:46:37 You'll find Lieutenant O'Rourke
01:46:40 And thank you.
01:46:42 Good luck.
01:46:45 - Good luck, men.
01:46:53 Lieutenant O'Rourke, follow me.
01:46:54 - But the troops, sir...
01:46:56 - Mulcahy, take over.
01:46:58 Get out of here, you scut, or I'll put you
01:47:01 Get out now.
01:47:04 As you were, men.
01:47:10 Good luck be to you.
01:47:15 Wheel the wagons.
01:47:17 Get them on the ridge.
01:47:39 Come on, get the horses
01:47:41 Come on. Get them over there.
01:47:44 Get those teams off.
01:47:46 All right, break out
01:47:50 Come on. Get them over here.
01:47:54 Come on, get them unhooked.
01:51:53 Carry on, boy.
01:52:12 What are you doing, man?
01:52:14 - All right, get them along there.
01:52:16 Let's go.
01:52:18 Get her over.
01:52:24 Come along. We'll get her over there.
01:52:26 Get her over there. Let's go.
01:52:29 Turn it over.
01:52:37 Mickey.
01:52:38 Turn it over. Let's go.
01:52:40 Turn it over.
01:52:42 Get to Fort Grant.
01:52:45 Tell them we may still be alive
01:52:51 And marry that girl.
01:53:10 Trooper.
01:53:16 Trooper.
01:53:24 Stand by your guns, men.
01:53:28 Flarety, you're in charge.
01:53:53 We've dug in on the ridge, sir.
01:53:55 Plenty of water and ammunition.
01:53:58 I sent a courier to Fort Grant,
01:54:01 Here, get on my horse.
01:54:14 I'll trouble you for your saber, captain.
01:54:16 My saber?
01:54:17 I must rejoin my command.
01:54:19 The command is wiped out, sir,
01:54:23 I'm not asking your opinion,
01:54:27 When you command this regiment,
01:54:31 Your saber, sir.
01:54:35 Any questions, captain?
01:54:47 No questions.
01:55:22 This time you were late, Owen.
01:55:26 You have my apologies.
01:55:39 Sergeant Major O'Rourke,
01:55:42 You can save them, sir,
01:57:00 Hold your fire, men.
01:57:04 Hold your fire.
01:58:28 However, gentlemen, I warn you,
01:58:32 It may be weeks before you have
01:58:35 If we catch Geronimo,
01:58:38 And more glory for your regiment.
01:58:47 He must have been a great man.
01:58:52 And a great soldier.
01:58:58 No man died more gallantly...
01:59:00 ...nor won more honor for his regiment.
01:59:02 Of course, you're familiar with the famous
01:59:06 Yes, I saw it when last in Washington.
01:59:08 That was a magnificent work.
01:59:10 There were massed columns of Apaches
01:59:13 ...and here was Thursday,
01:59:17 Correct in every detail.
01:59:19 He's become almost a legend already.
01:59:20 He's the hero
01:59:22 But what of the men
01:59:24 - What of Collingworth and...
01:59:27 Oh, of course, Collingwood.
01:59:29 That's the ironic part of it.
01:59:30 We always remember the Thursdays,
01:59:34 You're wrong there.
01:59:35 They aren't forgotten
01:59:38 They're living. Right out there.
01:59:42 Collingwood and the rest.
01:59:43 And they'll keep on living
01:59:47 Pay is $ 13 a month,
01:59:52 Maybe horsemeat
01:59:55 They'll fight over cards or rotgut whiskey
02:00:01 Faces may change...
02:00:03 ...and names...
02:00:05 ...but they're there.
02:00:07 They're the regiment.
02:00:09 The regular Army.
02:00:11 Now and 50 years from now.
02:00:14 They're better men
02:00:16 Thursday did that.
02:00:18 He made it a command
02:00:22 - The command is formed, sir.
02:00:24 And now it's time to move.
02:00:26 Questions, gentlemen?
02:00:28 - No.
02:00:31 Gentlemen, this is my adjutant,
02:00:34 ...who will take care of you.
02:00:37 Mrs. Michael O'Rourke,
02:00:40 - How do you do.
02:00:42 It's a pleasure, ma'am.
02:00:44 And this is
02:00:47 ...the best man in the regiment.
02:01:17 Forward face.
