00:02:41 #1 But I'm suddenly gonna report mine.
00:02:42 #2 You're gonna apply for the infantry.
00:02:47 #3 Tired of playing housemaid to a temperamental mare.
00:02:50 #4 That's the first good news your horses ever heard.
00:02:52 #5 Before we started, you had that curb chain on too tight.
00:03:13 #6 It's not the first time you've cut his tongue.
00:03:15 #7 You ever tried putting a curb on your tongue?
00:03:17 #8 No.
00:03:18 #9 Nobody else ever tried it.
00:03:23 #10 I suppose it takes one of you southerners to handle a horse.
00:03:26 #11 Well, at least we know how to harness them.
00:03:28 #12 You know how to harness Negroes down south, too, I hear.
00:03:32 #13 With a strap across their back.
00:03:34 #14 Come on.
00:03:38 #15 When are you going to take a punch at him?
00:03:40 #16 Uh-uh.
00:03:40 #17 Too close to graduation.
00:03:42 #18 Besides, I've waited for years.
00:03:44 #19 I guess I can wait another week.
00:03:45 #20 The king up of the American Union, as it now exists,
00:03:57 #21 is the basis of my plan.
00:04:01 #22 And that destruction must be made upon the issue
00:04:03 #23 of Negro slavery and on no other.
00:04:07 #24 The Union must then be reorganized
00:04:09 #25 on the great principle of emancipation.
00:04:13 #26 This object is vast in its compass,
00:04:17 #27 terrifying in its prospects but sublime and beautiful
00:04:20 #28 in its issue.
00:04:22 #29 A life devoted to it would be nobly spent or sacrificed.
00:04:27 #30 If the federal government and its constitution
00:04:30 #31 are opposed to my way of thinking,
00:04:33 #32 the fault is not mine, but theirs.
00:04:36 #33 And I shall continue to oppose them with every means
00:04:39 #34 and every weapon at my disposal.
00:04:41 #35 Who wrote that inflammatory rot?
00:04:44 #36 A wise man by the name of John Brown.
00:04:47 #37 Why'd you get it?
00:04:48 #38 That's my business.
00:04:50 #39 If you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it.
00:04:52 #40 You meant it for me, didn't you?
00:04:55 #41 Take it any way you like.
00:04:56 #42 Sure he meant it for you.
00:04:58 #43 He tried that abolition stuff.
00:04:59 #44 I immediately found out I came from Kansas.
00:05:01 #45 Never mind, Bob.
00:05:03 #46 Come on, Jeb.
00:05:04 #47 Let's turn in.
00:05:05 #48 There's no regulation against a cadet having his own ideas.
00:05:08 #49 But there is one against spreading reasonable policies.
00:05:11 #50 You find the truth hard to take.
00:05:15 #51 Listen, Radar, I know the truth of this problem far better than you do.
00:05:20 #52 The South will settle it in its own time and in its own way.
00:05:23 #53 But not through the propaganda of renegades like this John Brown or any of his followers.
00:05:28 #54 You mean that renegade line to include me?
00:05:31 #55 Look up your earth of allegiance and answer that for yourself.
00:05:34 #56 I'll answer that right here and now.
00:05:36 #57 I've taken a lot from you Southern snobs.
00:05:40 #58 For 50 years now you've been watering your precious family trees with a sweat of
00:05:44 #59 negro slaves, piling up wealth and snobbery until now you think you own the
00:05:48 #60 government and the army. And anybody who disagrees with you as a lying renegade,
00:05:53 #61 a rabble-rousing traitor. You get this from me, Stuart. And all you
00:05:59 #62 other Mason-Dixon plutocrats. The time is coming when the rest of us are
00:06:05 #63 going to wipe you and your kind off the face of the earth.
00:06:08 #64 The disturbing force has been active among the regiment of cadets.
00:06:55 #65 The exact nature of this subversive campaign and the person responsible for it...
00:06:59 #66 have not been fully known to us until this moment.
00:07:02 #67 Stuart, by every rule of the academy, you should be discharged from the service.
00:07:06 #68 And your associates are no less guilty for their part in this outrageous affair.
00:07:10 #69 Colonel Lee, any blame in this matter is entirely upon me.
00:07:13 #70 It's my sole responsibility, sir.
00:07:15 #71 That's not quite true, sir. It was my fault.
00:07:17 #72 We're all equally responsible, sir.
00:07:19 #73 That's right, sir.
00:07:20 #74 If I believed that you were guilty alone, Stuart,
00:07:22 #75 I should have sent for you alone.
00:07:24 #76 As for you, Custer, and the rest of you,
00:07:26 #77 you must be taught that lying to protect a friend
00:07:29 #78 is sometimes an extremely dangerous practice.
00:07:32 #79 I'm not so greatly concerned about the fight itself,
00:07:35 #80 as I am about its cause.
00:07:37 #81 All seven of you men violated the first sin of military conduct,
00:07:41 #82 the traffic and violent exchange of political ideas,
00:07:44 #83 which are not the affairs of an American soldier.
00:07:46 #84 You must be punished, and punished severely.
00:07:49 #85 I shall request of the War Department upon your graduation next week that all of you be assigned to the most dangerous branch of the United States Army.
00:07:58 #86 The second, United States Cavalry. Now stationed at Fort Leavenworth in the Kansas Territory.
00:08:04 #87 That's all gentlemen. You're dismissed. Now send for Cadet Raider.
00:08:24 #88 How can you beat that Fort Leavenworth Suicide Station?
00:08:27 #89 Kansas and the Santa Fe Trail. What a piece of luck.
00:08:30 #90 That's it. And the cavalry. Active duty. Promotion.
00:08:33 #91 Why, will it, old be general's father?
00:08:34 #92 These fellows are still shaves.
00:08:35 #93 Well, there's death of a country chap,
00:08:37 #94 nothing growth in Kansas, but trouble.
00:08:38 #95 What are you talking about?
00:08:39 #96 I grew up out there, didn't I?
00:08:40 #97 My spouse is not.
00:08:42 #98 Yeah, well, what'll I get you boys out there?
00:08:43 #99 Well, that's my step and crown.
00:08:45 #100 Well, hey!
00:08:47 #101 Hey, here's my pants!
00:08:49 #102 These pamphlets were found in your quarters.
00:08:53 #103 Dozens of them.
00:08:55 #104 Together with a letter written by a member of the abolitionist party,
00:08:58 #105 I'm struck you to distribute them among those cadets
00:09:00 #106 cadets who appear to be sympathetic to their cause.
00:09:03 #107 How long has this undercover activity of yours been going on?
00:09:06 #108 Long enough.
00:09:07 #109 Very clever idea of your fellow conspirators
00:09:09 #110 to plant an agent in our midst.
00:09:11 #111 Your dishonorable discharge will be drawn up at once.
00:09:14 #112 And you'll be given until sundown to remove yourself
00:09:16 #113 and your personal belongings from the limits of West Point.
00:09:20 #114 Good.
00:09:27 #115 And you can tell Mr. Stewart for me
00:09:29 #116 that he'd be smart to stay in the army,
00:09:32 #117 right in the middle of it from now on.
00:09:39 #118 William Q.
00:09:40 #119 Oh, huh.
00:09:44 #120 Get it, Mountain Evans.
00:09:45 #121 Ohio.
00:09:48 #122 Get it, Armor Marlow.
00:09:49 #123 Get it, George Custer.
00:09:53 #124 Ohio.
00:09:54 #125 Get it, James Longstreet.
00:09:57 #126 South Carolina.
00:09:58 #127 Get it, Philip Sheridan.
00:10:02 #128 New York.
00:10:03 #129 Get it, Jeb Stewart.
00:10:08 #130 Virginia.
00:10:09 #131 Get it, John Hood.
00:10:14 #132 Kentucky.
00:10:17 #133 Get it, Robert Holiday.
00:10:18 #134 Kansas Territory.
00:10:19 #135 Get it, Jason Wood.
00:10:28 #136 Virginia.
00:10:32 #137 Get it, George Pickett.
00:10:33 #138 Virginia.
00:10:34 #139 That's my sister, Kit.
00:10:35 #140 I thought two years in Boston would make a lady out of you.
00:10:38 #141 So did I. It just popped out.
00:10:40 #142 Cadet William Keel, Ohio. Cadet Robert Davis, New Jersey.
00:10:47 #143 It is now my great honor and privilege to introduce the Secretary of War of the United States of America.
00:10:58 #144 The Honorable Jefferson Davis.
00:11:01 #145 Officers and gentlemen of the class of 1854.
00:11:09 #146 They're welcome guests and they're very proud families.
00:11:13 #147 I'll not keep you separated very long as I and myself won't sit in your place
00:11:18 #148 and endure in a terminal address by a very tiresome general.
00:11:25 #149 But as a secretary of war of this nation,
00:11:28 #150 I have a serious obligation towards each new officer of the army
00:11:32 #151 before he enters into active service.
00:11:35 #152 And that obligation is to make clear and definite his responsibility to his government.
00:11:41 #153 We are a new nation among the powers of the world.
00:11:44 #154 Just 80 years ago we were fighting desperately for our freedom.
00:11:49 #155 And we're still fighting to keep it.
00:11:51 #156 We are not yet a wealthy nation, except in spirit.
00:11:55 #157 And that unity of spirit is our greatest strength.
00:11:58 #158 You men have but one duty, one alone. America.
00:12:03 #159 With your young swerving loyalty and the grace of God,
00:12:07 #160 our nation shall have no fears for the future.
00:12:10 #161 And your lives will have been spent in the noblest of all causes,
00:12:15 #162 the defense of the rights of man.
00:12:18 #163 Take care of your dozen...
00:13:54 #164 There ain't nothing to go to.
00:13:57 #165 There's a half a nation out there, Cap.
00:13:59 #166 Someday I'll build a railroad to open it up.
00:14:01 #167 Clear to Santa Fe.
00:14:02 #168 For a man who made a fortune out of horses,
00:14:04 #169 you sure got a heap to learn.
00:14:06 #170 Hey, Captain, tell the boys to speed it up a little.
00:14:09 #171 The last time I had to get out and help them chop wood for the engine.
00:14:11 #172 Well, the first time you rode with me, I had to change your diapers.
00:14:14 #173 Where am I going?
00:14:20 #174 Looks like you're going to Hades.
00:14:22 #175 Just wanted to know.
00:14:24 #176 Bob's been telling us about that railroad Santa Fe so long now, Mr. Holiday.
00:14:28 #177 Surprise to learn it hasn't even been built.
00:14:30 #178 Well, that's not our fault, Stuart.
00:14:32 #179 You can't build a railroad over blood-soaked ground like Kansas.
00:14:34 #180 Decent sellers won't use it.
00:14:36 #181 We're losing thousands of pioneers to the Oregon Trail.
00:14:38 #182 They circle right around us.
00:14:39 #183 We heard about the raid at Awesome Water Me last week.
00:14:42 #184 What is the true situation out here, sir?
00:14:44 #185 Well, Kansas is a territory and not a state.
00:14:47 #186 We are ready to join the Union, but the big question is
00:14:49 #187 whether we'll go in as a slave state or as a free state.
00:14:52 #188 On one side is most of Kansas' pro-slavers,
00:14:54 #189 people who came from the south.
00:14:56 #190 On the other side are the abolitionists,
00:14:57 #191 led by John Brown, the sons.
00:14:59 #192 Between those two elements,
00:15:00 #193 they've made Kansas a boiling pot of rebellion and massacres.
00:15:03 #194 That's why the Army sent you boys out here to Fort Leavenworth.
00:15:06 #195 Look, it's a suicide station. It's quite an honor.
00:15:10 #196 Excuse me, will you, sir?
00:15:11 #197 Surely.
00:15:13 #198 You know, the first time I saw you at the graduation, I thought of what Napoleon said when he first met Joseph.
00:15:18 #199 What was that?
00:15:19 #200 He said, I never knew this savage land they call America could breed such perfect beauty and mortal form.
00:15:26 #201 Thank you. That's a lovely line.
00:15:28 #202 Yes, isn't it?
00:15:29 #203 George's been using it for years, haven't you, George?
00:15:32 #204 I wish I could think of nice things like that to say.
00:15:34 #205 I'd like that to say.
00:15:36 #206 You wouldn't like what I'm thinking now.
00:15:38 #207 You were going to tell me something more about Kansas.
00:15:40 #208 Yes, what do you do on Saturday nights for fun here?
00:15:44 #209 Well, as I remember, half of Levenworth takes a bath,
00:15:48 #210 and the other half gets drunk.
00:15:49 #211 And since the only two bath tubs in town,
00:15:51 #212 they see a kind of exciting round midnight.
00:15:53 #213 Here, here.
00:15:56 #214 By the way, how'd they ever come to name your kid,
00:15:58 #215 Carson, holiday?
00:16:00 #216 Well, Mr. Carson, my dad, were very good friends.
00:16:02 #217 They were so sure I was going to be a boy that they named me before I was born.
00:16:06 #218 Oh, I see. Well, I'm certainly glad they were wrong.
00:16:10 #219 Me too. Me too. Me too.
00:16:15 #220 Hey, conductor. Yeah?
00:16:16 #221 What are you going to do about that?
00:16:18 #222 About what? I'll tend to that.
00:16:21 #223 Hey, I thought I told you them niggas had a ride in the last coat.
00:16:25 #224 Their tickets give them the right to ride wherever they please.
00:16:29 #225 Now, I don't want any trouble with you, mister.
00:16:31 #226 And you better leave us alone.
00:16:32 #227 Well, I don't know what this country's coming to.
00:16:36 #228 Pickets?
00:16:37 #229 Stop shaking, Anna.
00:16:38 #230 There's nothing to worry about.
00:16:40 #231 We're only a half an hour from the border.
00:16:42 #232 If we don't hurry, they'll be across the border.
00:16:45 #233 All right, go ahead.
00:16:58 #234 Where are you taking the Negroes?
00:17:00 #235 What business is that of yours?
00:17:02 #236 We're asking the questions.
00:17:04 #237 Are they free or bound?
00:17:05 #238 Here are the papers.
00:17:08 #239 Get them safe for yourself.
00:17:10 #240 Yeah, that might mean something
00:17:11 #241 if we didn't know who you are.
00:17:13 #242 Don't you make a move?
00:17:15 #243 We're taking you and them off of this train while they're still in Missouri.
00:17:19 #244 Now come on, get up all of you.
00:17:55 #245 What about this?
00:17:56 #246 There's the trouble.
00:17:58 #247 Negro slaves. He was trying to sneak them across the state line.
00:18:01 #248 I'll get that murderer and Jay Halk over this if I have to hang for it.
00:18:05 #249 Who was it?
00:18:06 #250 Oliver Brown, one of John Brown's scurvy litter.
00:18:09 #251 Get her to the door now. Come on, you gay-bike green horns.
00:18:12 #252 Give me her hand.
00:18:13 #253 They know you spoiled in the carpet.
00:18:15 #254 Get him out of the way.
00:18:16 #255 Don't get excited, everybody.
00:18:17 #256 Sit down, please.
00:18:20 #257 This is what they mean when they call it Bloody Kansas.
00:18:23 #258 There'll never be any peace along the Santa Fe Trail
00:18:25 #259 while John Brown or any of his followers are alive.
00:18:27 #260 Now, this is the present terminal.
00:18:55 #261 I report you down here to Wichita.
00:18:58 #262 Then along here across the Arkansas River,
00:19:00 #263 along the Simron River over here to Las Vegas,
00:19:03 #264 then on into Santa Fe.
00:19:05 #265 Now, that'll be our first section of traffic
00:19:06 #266 from Levels to Wichita.
00:19:08 #267 Right over the trail.
00:19:09 #268 Now, suddenly you figure to start.
00:19:10 #269 Well, the men back east say they're ready to put up the money
00:19:13 #270 as soon as we can prove that a railroad through Kansas is safe and will pay.
00:19:16 #271 Sir!
00:19:17 #272 Yes, kid?
00:19:18 #273 Where did you put the loading list?
00:19:19 #274 List?
00:19:20 #275 Gosh, I clean forgot to make one out.
00:19:22 #276 That's great.
00:19:24 #277 Ninety-eight tons of freight ready to roll and no orders for loading.
00:19:26 #278 How'd you run this business for hours away?
00:19:28 #279 That's why I sent you away to show you what a skirt was.
00:19:31 #280 Look at your clothes.
00:19:32 #281 Look at the grease on your nose.
00:19:34 #282 Hold your friends in Boston. Think of it now.
00:19:36 #283 Frankly, Dad, I don't much care.
00:19:38 #284 If you're going to keep your nose in a paper railway,
00:19:39 #285 I better keep mine and the family affairs.
00:19:41 #286 Tex, you think you're getting paid for this?
00:19:50 #287 Why didn't you tell me?
00:19:56 #288 Getting jealous, huh?
00:19:58 #289 I didn't even see Lily when I said goodbye to her.
00:20:01 #290 Don't start lying to me. You double-crossing buzzard.
00:20:04 #291 I knew you didn't buy that there looking best to see your ugly mug.
00:20:07 #292 I suppose you were figuring on why in that female cinch and belt
00:20:10 #293 way to Lily sees what you brunger.
00:20:12 #294 She'll brain you if it ain't physical impossible.
00:20:15 #295 Why, you ignorant...
00:20:17 #296 Tex! Hey, you two!
00:20:19 #297 Where in the name of... Will you come here?
00:20:21 #298 Hello, nothing. Are you gentlemen of leisure
00:20:26 #299 by any chance interested in employment?
00:20:28 #300 Uh, we lost our watch.
00:20:30 #301 Yeah, we didn't have no idea of time.
00:20:32 #302 I ought to give you both your time and throw you out.
00:20:34 #303 Where in town have you been?
00:20:36 #304 Well, uh, you see, we had to buy these knickknacks.
00:20:39 #305 Well, we sort of got a gal in Santa Fe, Lily, uh...
00:20:42 #306 Hofstetter, and what do you mean, we?
00:20:44 #307 I'm a gage tour.
00:20:46 #308 Who ain't?
00:20:48 #309 You set up housekeeping in Santa Fe,
00:20:50 #310 Do you mean Santa Fe or is this just gilding the lily?
00:20:52 #311 Oh, uh, she won this to fetch her one of them fancy,
00:20:56 #312 fritz-lickin' glasses.
00:20:57 #313 Ain't it pretty?
00:20:59 #314 What's your answer to that text?
00:21:04 #315 Here, Cassius.
00:21:09 #316 Both of you.
00:21:13 #317 Go on, jump to it.
00:21:15 #318 You better hide that thing or start wearing it.
00:21:37 #319 I'm going to put you new officers straight from the start.
00:21:39 #320 This is Fort Leavenworth and not West Point.
00:21:42 #321 You were sent here to Man of Frontier Garrison.
00:21:45 #322 Three of the officers you're supposed to be replacing
00:21:48 #323 are buried back of the hill in the little military cemetery.
00:21:51 #324 The other four haven't been found yet.
00:21:54 #325 The regiment of mounted rifles has only one job,
00:21:57 #326 to keep the peace in Kansas.
00:21:59 #327 And we're here alone.
00:22:00 #328 There's no other fort between us and Santa Fe,
00:22:03 #329 and we're proud of that responsibility.
00:22:05 #330 We've got a tough reputation in the Army,
00:22:07 #331 but they respect us in the West.
00:22:09 #332 See that it stays that way.
00:22:12 #333 Order of the day.
00:22:14 #334 The tenants long street and holiday, take B Troop and put them through close order drill.
00:22:18 #335 The tenants Stewart and Custer will take eight men as an escort for the freight caravan leaving
00:22:22 #336 at noon for New Mexico.
00:22:24 #337 Rather usual supplies and report to me for final orders.
00:22:27 #338 Say, will you keep all those cases of Bibles near the tail board?
00:22:35 #339 They're only going to short haul.
00:22:37 #340 Sure will.
00:22:38 #341 Let's go.
00:22:39 #342 Have a nice flight trip.
00:22:51 #343 On any other kind I'll lose money.
00:22:52 #344 We'll try and save you that.
00:22:54 #345 We'll see you in six weeks, sir, with luck.
00:22:57 #346 Keep your eyes open, boys, and move fast.
00:22:59 #347 You'll like the scenery, but don't trust it.
00:23:01 #348 All right. Goodbye, sir.
00:23:03 #349 Goodbye, Stuart. Goodbye, cousin.
00:23:12 #350 Well, for detail, two men to cover each wagon.
00:23:14 #351 Yes, sir.
00:23:16 #352 Phil, move all these barrels up there for the next line.
00:23:18 #353 All right.
00:23:30 #354 Hey, looks like the both got the same idea.
00:23:32 #355 Looks that way.
00:23:34 #356 Now we got to work it.
00:23:35 #357 Here.
00:23:38 #358 I've got an idea.
00:23:39 #359 That's draw for it.
00:23:41 #360 Fair enough.
00:23:42 #361 Right. I got the lawman.
00:23:48 #362 Wait a minute. Where I come from, long man loses.
00:23:52 #363 Tough luck, old man. Here, hold my horse.
00:23:55 #364 The one-seater, 787-15-12-14 is quite Joe.
00:24:00 #365 There's something missing.
00:24:01 #366 Must be me. Hello.
00:24:02 #367 Hello. What are you doing here?
00:24:04 #368 Oh, playing nursemaid for those wagons.
00:24:06 #369 Should be the other way around.
00:24:07 #370 Oh, the convoy.
00:24:08 #371 That's the silly idea, Dad.
00:24:09 #372 He thinks that man John Brown's behind every push.
00:24:12 #373 Well, it's not that I might so much.
00:24:13 #374 It's being away from you for six weeks,
00:24:14 #375 just when we're getting started.
00:24:16 #376 Started? Where?
00:24:18 #377 Look, I've only got a few minutes left, so I've got to be fast.
00:24:20 #378 You haven't been exactly slow for a couple of days.
00:24:22 #379 It never seems as easy as your pair of whirlwinds
00:24:24 #380 as you and George Kasper.
00:24:25 #381 Oh, George, poor old George.
00:24:27 #382 Well, never mind about him.
00:24:27 #383 Look, kid, I might as well tell you before I go.
00:24:30 #384 I'm completely crazy about you.
00:24:32 #385 What?
00:24:33 #386 No, wait a minute. Let me finish.
00:24:35 #387 I didn't warn you about army life.
00:24:36 #388 If ae is bad, it'd never be home.
00:24:38 #389 You'll probably be a widow in two weeks.
00:24:40 #390 I see.
00:24:40 #391 Have you thought of any particular names of the children?
00:24:43 #392 No, be serious, will you?
00:24:45 #393 This might be the most precious moment of our lives.
00:24:47 #394 I hope not, not in these clothes.
00:24:48 #395 Haven't you got any heart at all?
00:24:51 #396 Yes, I have.
00:24:52 #397 And it's going to stay right where it is.
00:24:54 #398 I don't know a thing about you, Jeb Stuart.
00:24:56 #399 My brother thinks you're wonderful.
00:24:59 #400 But then he was dropped on his head when he was a baby.
00:25:03 #401 Well, at least you let me kiss you goodbye, won't you?
00:25:06 #402 Oh, well, it's quite an honor, but no thanks.
00:25:09 #403 I don't really deserve it.
00:25:11 #404 Well, hello.
00:25:13 #405 Say, this is quite a surprise.
00:25:15 #406 The corporal's looking for you.
00:25:16 #407 Says it's very urgent.
00:25:17 #408 I'll bet. Kit, we'll take this up later, right where we left off.
00:25:20 #409 Now, George, don't be long-winded.
00:25:22 #410 Listen, Kit, we're due to leave in a minute now.
00:25:24 #411 There's something I've got to tell you.
00:25:25 #412 I'm head over heels in love with you.
00:25:27 #413 George, you sound just like an echo.
00:25:30 #414 Oh, Kit, pardon the interruption, George.
00:25:32 #415 A man, Kit, there's something I forgot to ask you.
00:25:34 #416 Have I got any real competition?
00:25:35 #417 How do you think any girl would answer a question like that?
00:25:37 #418 Well, she'd tell me the truth.
00:25:38 #419 Then you'd both be crazy.
00:25:39 #420 Get going, you bullwhackers!
00:25:41 #421 Through desert heat and dust, your throat shall soon be choking.
00:25:45 #422 Your head's about to bust.
00:25:47 #423 No water when you're thirsty.
00:25:49 #424 And all you get to eat
00:25:51 #425 is aromatic antelope and sun-baked buffalo meat.
00:25:55 #426 Lippie eye!
00:25:57 #427 We may not even live to get our pay.
00:26:03 #428 But even if we don't get paid,
00:26:05 #429 there ain't no job we trade.
00:26:07 #430 For hauling freight will stay to stay
00:26:09 #431 along the Santa Fe.
00:26:11 #432 A hauling freight from state to state
00:26:13 #433 along the Santa Fe.
00:26:15 #434 Lippie eye, time!
00:26:19 #435 There's trouble right now.
00:26:20 #436 You know what I said, kids?
00:26:24 #437 Every word.
00:26:25 #438 Take care of yourself, George.
00:26:27 #439 Don't worry about that.
00:26:28 #440 Goodbye, darling.
00:26:29 #441 Long to stay away.
00:26:35 #442 There's trouble down for us.
00:26:42 #443 Take the stage, come on.
00:26:45 #444 You want to make a little bet, kid?
00:26:46 #445 Sure, I want.
00:26:48 #446 Those two boys?
00:26:49 #447 I'll give you three to one.
00:26:50 #448 I can name the winner.
00:26:52 #449 That's ridiculous.
00:26:56 #450 Which one do you want?
00:26:57 #451 I'll take that bet.
00:27:04 #452 Good.
00:27:06 #453 All volunteers not to undercancel unequipped in order to display their weapons to public view.
00:27:25 #454 Let that be understood beforehand.
00:27:28 #455 Warn them also.
00:27:29 #456 Not so fast, Father.
00:27:30 #457 Warn them also that our plans must be known to ourselves alone.
00:27:34 #458 That they join me in the clear knowledge that all traitors of the cause must die.
00:27:39 #459 We're ever caught and proven to be guilty.
00:27:42 #460 Tell them that we stand by one another while a drop of blood remains that under no threats or pressure do we make confessions.
00:27:48 #461 All right, that's our camp.
00:27:56 #462 I might as well tell you, when you get this far,
00:27:58 #463 you don't turn back.
00:28:00 #464 If you don't have to worry about us,
00:28:01 #465 we ain't the kind that's waiting.
00:28:03 #466 That's fine. You'll see you keep it that way.
00:28:05 #467 Save all of us about a bun pleasantness.
00:28:08 #468 You've been delayed. With the troublemaker?
00:28:18 #469 No, sir. We had to detail when we got to the border.
00:28:20 #470 Now, pick these new men up and tell Myron.
00:28:23 #471 Volunteer, sir.
00:28:24 #472 They're the credentials.
00:28:26 #473 From Illinois. You've gone a long way.
00:28:28 #474 And we'll go the rest of it.
00:28:29 #475 We came here to fight slavers.
00:28:31 #476 The sooner the better.
00:28:32 #477 That's good. We'll put you to work at once.
00:28:35 #478 Kid, spend a look after these gentlemen.
00:28:37 #479 Fine.
00:28:42 #480 We've received the news we've been waiting for.
00:28:44 #481 We break camp, Raider.
00:28:45 #482 Yes, sir.
00:28:46 #483 I'll start jaring down these tents now.
00:28:48 #484 What has happened to you?
00:29:03 #485 Where are the Negroes you were told to bring?
00:29:06 #486 A couple of pro-slavers tried to grab us on the train.
00:29:08 #487 I shot one of them and jumped off.
00:29:10 #488 You left four helpless people alone to save yourself.
00:29:12 #489 I had to do it, father. It was me or them.
00:29:14 #490 Whether it was me or them, you're currently fooled.
00:29:20 #491 The future obey my instructions.
00:29:23 #492 We leave it once.
00:29:32 #493 Doll up on your knees, as once you sent the ravens
00:29:38 #494 to save Elijah, so now you have delivered into my hands
00:29:41 #495 the precious means of continuing thy holy work.
00:29:45 #496 The Lord our God is a great God,
00:29:48 #497 a mighty and a terrible who regarded not persons
00:29:50 #498 nor taketh reward.
00:29:53 #499 The Lord is a man of war.
00:29:55 #500 Thy right hand shall become glorious through power.
00:29:59 #501 Thy right hand, O God, shall dash and pieces the enemy.
00:30:15 #502 Well, looking, guys.
00:30:16 #503 Hey, Tex, these horses are pretty tired.
00:30:18 #504 When are we going to make camp?
00:30:19 #505 All soon as we cross the river and then we'll
00:30:21 #506 be out of danger from both sides.
00:30:23 #507 You know, Lieutenant, I'm sure glad we're leaving
00:30:24 #508 civilization, getting two dangers for a peace-loving man.
00:30:28 #509 I run into some of them abolitionists once,
00:30:31 #510 but who's this fellow John Brown that talks so much about?
00:30:33 #511 Oh, as far as I know, he's just a dirty old windbag.
00:30:36 #512 In fact, he's just your type.
00:30:38 #513 Either of you ever meet him?
00:30:39 #514 No, but two of them fellas, they killed it also
00:30:41 #515 on me with friends of mine.
00:30:43 #516 You mean Jim Dohan, Alan Welkerson?
00:30:45 #517 Yeah, and that's the reason I sure like to meet up with this
00:30:47 #518 year, Mr. John Brown.
00:30:48 #519 He's got no quarrel with people like you, Tex.
00:30:51 #520 You do much better to leave him alone.
00:30:53 #521 Well, you can count me in anyhow.
00:30:55 #522 Even if he ain't harm no friends of mine,
00:30:57 #523 I sure hate to miss a good fight.
00:31:15 #524 We've never attacked a wagon train before.
00:31:17 #525 We aren't common highwaymen.
00:31:19 #526 You say we have a rights as cause,
00:31:21 #527 But this will bring the law down on us like a storm.
00:31:23 #528 We recognize no law but the law of God.
00:31:26 #529 You will do as I command.
00:31:28 #530 Howdy, strangers. Good morning.
00:32:10 #531 Have these holidays wagoned?
00:32:12 #532 That's right, sir.
00:32:13 #533 My name is Smith, Jonathan Smith of Newton.
00:32:16 #534 Well, what can we do for you?
00:32:17 #535 I believe you are carrying some freight consigned to me. Might be.
00:32:21 #536 If you've got something to show for it,
00:32:22 #537 I have this receipt from the shipper.
00:32:25 #538 Come a long way with an empty wagon,
00:32:27 #539 haven't you, Mr. Smith?
00:32:28 #540 Newton's about 100 miles from here.
00:32:29 #541 My home is in Newton, sir, but my place of business
00:32:32 #542 is much closer to the trail.
00:32:34 #543 Oh, I see.
00:32:35 #544 I thought your horses look pretty fresh.
00:32:37 #545 Ain't cases of bibles. That's right.
00:32:40 #546 Come on, when do we unpack these bibles for the parson?
00:32:42 #547 Jason, bring up your wagon.
00:32:45 #548 And I gotta get some bibles unpacked for the parson.
00:32:53 #549 That's a funny thing.
00:32:56 #550 I've seen that fellow somewhere.
00:32:58 #551 That's the way it seems to me.
00:33:01 #552 Isn't the kind of a face you'd forget now, Harry.
00:33:02 #553 No.
00:33:03 #554 Wait a minute. I know.
00:33:05 #555 In some magazine in the Atlantic, I think.
00:33:07 #556 Well, then he's either from Boston or he's a missionary.
00:33:12 #557 Not to something else.
00:33:13 #558 Pull over across the river lately, Mr. Smith.
00:33:23 #559 That murdering's conked John Brown's on the loose again.
00:33:25 #560 Better keep your eye up here, you'll find.
00:33:27 #561 Thank you.
00:33:28 #562 We shall.
00:33:29 #563 This stuff sure is heavy for Bibles. How would you know?
00:33:34 #564 You ain't never even saw one.
00:33:54 #565 Just a minute.
00:33:58 #566 I'd like to see those Bibles.
00:34:00 #567 Put your hands up and keep them up.
00:34:04 #568 Don't move George your gun.
00:34:43 #569 Bring out the other wagon.
00:34:44 #570 Nothing. Quickly with those other crates.
00:34:46 #571 All right. Get a move on there.
00:34:51 #572 Only the ones marked Bibles.
00:34:53 #573 Hey, chap.
00:34:54 #574 Look.
00:34:55 #575 Our friend Rader.
00:34:57 #576 Oh, this is a surprise.
00:35:03 #577 The commission and the cavalry, too, huh?
00:35:07 #578 I see you've got the commission you were after.
00:35:09 #579 Do you know these men, Rader?
00:35:11 #580 Yes, sir. Very well.
00:35:12 #581 This one, Stuart, comes from a rich slave owning family
00:35:15 #582 in Virginia.
00:35:16 #583 He called you a lying renegade once,
00:35:18 #584 and I jumped in for it.
00:35:21 #585 John Brown, him?
00:35:22 #586 John Brown?
00:35:24 #587 I have nothing personal against you men,
00:35:25 #588 but I will deal harshly with any interference.
00:35:30 #589 I might have known you'd wind up with this outfit.
00:35:32 #590 That's one of the troubles with the army, Stuart.
00:35:33 #591 They don't teach you to think ahead.
00:35:36 #592 They do one smart thing.
00:35:37 #593 They teach you never to turn back on an enemy
00:35:38 #594 without first making sure he's hurt.
00:35:43 #595 Stop this.
00:35:44 #596 We must settle ourselves with a killing
00:35:46 #597 just to satisfy your personal morals.
00:35:48 #598 One more murder won't mark you any deeper than you are
00:35:50 #599 now, Mr. Brown.
00:35:51 #600 I intend to be a marked man.
00:35:53 #601 Back to your horse, Raider.
00:35:55 #602 Back to your horses, all of you.
00:35:57 #603 I've given you fair warning.
00:35:59 #604 You can keep your heads or lose them as you wish.
00:36:02 #605 Move on.
00:36:10 #606 What was in those cases, George? What?
00:36:18 #607 Contraband, rifles and ammunition.
00:36:20 #608 Gosh!
00:36:21 #609 Then we've been delivering bibles with triggers on them.
00:36:23 #610 Let's take a chance.
00:36:25 #611 Everybody, take cover and open fire!
00:36:27 #612 Dispatch!
00:36:50 #613 They're getting away.
00:36:51 #614 No, they're not. We're going after them.
00:36:53 #615 Hey, wait a minute. They have numbers three to one.
00:36:55 #616 Well, if it makes you nervous, don't count them. Come on.
00:36:57 #617 Follow me. Everybody, move!
00:37:04 #618 Come on, safe tail. Here's where I'll get you a medal.
00:37:08 #619 He didn't do anything.
00:39:05 #620 All right, son. Nobody's gonna hurt you. Who are you?
00:39:07 #621 Jason Brown.
00:39:09 #622 Brown. You wanna John Brown, son?
00:39:11 #623 Yes. That's what I never did anything.
00:39:13 #624 He made me go along.
00:39:15 #625 I never killed anyone. I swear it.
00:39:17 #626 I'm getting out. I'm quitting.
00:39:19 #627 I'm quitting. You've got to take me with you.
00:39:22 #628 All right. Bring the horse up, George.
00:39:24 #629 Bring up the horses.
00:39:25 #630 You carry him back.
00:39:29 #631 The boy's badly hurt.
00:39:31 #632 His father's madness really striking home now.
00:39:34 #633 Sheev, there's a purpose behind that madness.
00:39:37 #634 One that can't easily be dismissed.
00:39:41 #635 George, you've seen the needle on a compass, haven't you?
00:39:45 #636 It's got a whole car to swing around in,
00:39:46 #637 but it always wobbles back to the north.
00:39:49 #638 What are you driving at?
00:39:51 #639 Just this. I've always known why you're so happy.
00:39:53 #640 It never affected our friendship and it never will.
00:39:56 #641 But it isn't our job to decide who's right and who's wrong about slavery.
00:40:00 #642 Anymore than it is John Brown's.
00:40:05 #643 I guess you're right, Jim. I'm sorry.
00:40:09 #644 I had sense we got him up with him, Impsons.
00:40:13 #645 Yeah, the next time we shoot an accountant, I mean, you let me do the shooting.
00:40:16 #646 Oh, my God, this drive looks powder horn.
00:40:20 #647 Blast little Lily's looking glass.
00:40:30 #648 But she looks at herself and that she'll think she's 100 years old.
00:40:34 #649 Or more.
00:40:35 #650 Of course we're aware that firearms will contraband the Kansas.
00:40:40 #651 Do you think we'd have accepted those boxes as freight
00:40:42 #652 if we'd known what the act would contain?
00:40:44 #653 Well, I'm just asking, that's all.
00:40:46 #654 Doesn't it seem strange to you that Dr. J. Boyce Russell,
00:40:48 #655 the most prominent religious leader in America,
00:40:50 #656 should be sending rifles marked as Bibles to John Brown?
00:40:54 #657 How can I control the marking of crates?
00:40:56 #658 We once received three tons of gunpowder, marked birdseed.
00:40:59 #659 Well, then you'll have to examine every crate you haul.
00:41:02 #660 What?
00:41:02 #661 All we know this contraband may have been slipping through for months.
00:41:05 #662 Jason, listen son, you've got nothing to be afraid of if you'll be honest with us.
00:41:11 #663 Now I want you to answer my question truthfully.
00:41:14 #664 Did your father ever mention this shipment of rifles when he discussed his plans?
00:41:17 #665 Not to me. He never confided in me.
00:41:22 #666 Just Fred and Oliver.
00:41:24 #667 Fred and Oliver?
00:41:26 #668 My brothers.
00:41:28 #669 Where are their headquarters?
00:41:29 #670 I don't know where they went.
00:41:31 #671 If it doesn't place as I know why about it guns are no mistake
00:41:55 #672 Anyone with the best interests of Kansas apart can tell you that no bendy-legged pushback and soldier can talk like that about the holidays
00:42:01 #673 We've got as much interest in Kansas as the United States government and a darn sight more investment
00:42:06 #674 We were here before the army came in by Godfrey. We'll be here when you're gone if you think you can
00:42:13 #675 Well Stuart, what did you find very little sir boys either too badly hurt or too frightened to talk
00:42:18 #676 We leave immediately. Have them sound assembly.
00:42:21 #677 What was that you called me?
00:42:26 #678 A gall darn bandy-ligged bushwhack.
00:42:28 #679 Now go on.
00:42:30 #680 He says he talks with God at night.
00:42:33 #681 But God doesn't tell people to kill one another, does he, miss?
00:42:40 #682 He's a good man in a lot of ways.
00:42:43 #683 He's changed since I saw what I mean.
00:42:48 #684 Those people, they killed.
00:42:51 #685 They got down on their knees and begged him for their lives.
00:42:55 #686 lives. He struck them with a sword. Him and Rader and Kitzmiller. I was there. I saw it
00:43:05 #687 done. I tried to stop them but they pushed me aside. That's how it was.
00:43:11 #688 We're starting at once. I'll take the first troop west to Tecumseh. Stuart, you and Custer
00:43:18 #689 will take the first platoon of B-troop and search thoroughly from Clinton to Dutch
00:43:21 #690 Henry's crossing. Is that clear? Yes, sir.
00:43:24 #691 These are your orders.
00:43:25 #692 Find John Brown and bring him back here, alive if possible.
00:43:29 #693 His force is well armed now and strong in numbers.
00:43:32 #694 We also suspect that new volunteers are drifting in
00:43:34 #695 from the east to join him.
00:43:36 #696 Be on the lookout for them as well.
00:43:37 #697 Retire to your respective troops.
00:43:45 #698 What's that?
00:43:46 #699 They've caught some more of us.
00:43:47 #700 No one's been called Jason.
00:43:49 #701 Not even you.
00:43:50 #702 You've committed no crime to be afraid of.
00:43:53 #703 I'm sick of being afraid.
00:43:55 #704 I'm sick of hiding like a hunted thing.
00:43:57 #705 I want to walk free like other people.
00:43:59 #706 You will, Jason. You are safe now.
00:44:01 #707 No, I'm not.
00:44:03 #708 Not as long as he keeps killing and thinking that he's right.
00:44:07 #709 He can't be right.
00:44:08 #710 Can he, Miss?
00:44:09 #711 I don't know.
00:44:11 #712 His reasons may be right, Jason.
00:44:14 #713 They may even be great and good reasons.
00:44:17 #714 But what your father is doing is wrong.
00:44:19 #715 Terribly wrong.
00:44:22 #716 And he'll keep on repeating that wrong as long as he lives.
00:44:26 #717 Then I'll never be free of him until one of us is dead.
00:44:32 #718 I know that now.
00:44:34 #719 My life don't mean anything.
00:44:37 #720 But if he dies, maybe this whole scheme of his
00:44:41 #721 won't die with him.
00:44:42 #722 I'd rather have it that way.
00:44:45 #723 His life, even if he is my father against many thousands.
00:44:53 #724 I'm going to tell you where to find him.
00:44:55 #725 Oh, Jason, I'm not trying to.
00:44:56 #726 I'm going to tell you anyway.
00:44:57 #727 in the house of Schubelmorgan, Palmyra.
00:45:00 #728 That's where they went.
00:45:01 #729 That's their headquarters.
00:45:02 #730 Tell the soldiers.
00:45:05 #731 It's better that way.
00:45:08 #732 His life, I guess, many thousands.
00:45:28 #733 It's very serious.
00:45:30 #734 I'll let the doctor with me. One little devil.
00:45:32 #735 Jeb, he told me everything.
00:45:34 #736 The whole nightmare of his 15 years,
00:45:35 #737 even the place where his father is now,
00:45:37 #738 he said he wanted me to tell the soldiers. Where?
00:45:40 #739 Palmyra, the house of a man named Schubelmorgan.
00:45:43 #740 I wonder if that's the truth.
00:45:45 #741 Jeb, I'm frightened.
00:45:48 #742 That boy is crippled for life.
00:45:51 #743 And that man on the train.
00:45:53 #744 He died for a principal.
00:45:55 #745 And a man killed him for a principal.
00:45:57 #746 One of them is wrong, but which one?
00:46:00 #747 Who knows the answer to that, kid?
00:46:02 #748 Everybody in America is trying to decide.
00:46:04 #749 Yes, by words in the East and by guns in the West.
00:46:07 #750 But one day the words will turn into guns.
00:46:10 #751 The words will turn into guns.
00:46:12 #752 Oh, Cheb, can't it be stopped now?
00:46:14 #753 Can't the slaves be freed before it's too late?
00:46:17 #754 It will be stopped.
00:46:18 #755 And we hang John Brown.
00:46:20 #756 Then the South can settle our own problem
00:46:21 #757 without loss of pride of being forced into it
00:46:23 #758 by a bunch of fanatics.
00:46:25 #759 Cheb, what has pride got to do with human lives?
00:46:28 #760 Kit, the two things kind of come together down South.
00:46:32 #761 Come pry them apart, not even with guns.
00:46:37 #762 I hope that's going to be the same way with us.
00:46:45 #763 Uh-oh, that's me all over.
00:46:46 #764 Clumsy Custer, or can I get in on this too? Yeah.
00:46:49 #765 Sure, sure.
00:46:49 #766 It's like you're in on it.
00:46:51 #767 Don't miss much, do you?
00:46:52 #768 I've seen you work before, son.
00:46:53 #769 That's where I learned.
00:46:54 #770 There's credit one more to my account, Kit.
00:46:56 #771 I like to let the interest accumulate.
00:46:59 #772 Well, goodbye.
00:47:00 #773 Goodbye, George.
00:47:03 #774 Kit, I...
00:47:05 #775 Don't be long, Chip.
00:47:06 #776 No, no, goodbye.
00:47:09 #777 Kit, remember this, will you?
00:47:11 #778 I love you.
00:47:12 #779 Put that in your little bonnet to keep it there
00:47:13 #780 until I come back.
00:47:14 #781 I'll remember.
00:47:15 #782 Hey, Lieutenant!
00:47:22 #783 Oh, boys.
00:47:23 #784 Hello, Lieutenant Jim.
00:47:24 #785 Sir, why don't you keep an eye on Kid for me while we're gone, will you?
00:47:27 #786 Heck, no, we're going to hunt John Brown with you.
00:47:29 #787 What?
00:47:30 #788 Yeah, we come to join up. Who do we see?
00:47:32 #789 A couple of flat-footed rompots like you and the army.
00:47:34 #790 Why, you'd get lost.
00:47:36 #791 Boys, you better go home and sleep it off. So long.
00:47:38 #792 If you find John Brown, tell him.
00:48:24 #793 We'll try to find him. Goodbye.
00:48:27 #794 I'm sorry about this high Tex Windy brought home a wolf cub with a broken back.
00:48:52 #795 You nursed it for weeks, but it finally died with his head near her lap.
00:48:56 #796 You cried for days, but it was just a wolf cub.
00:49:00 #797 It would probably have grown up to be a killer like its father.
00:49:03 #798 Rum putts, what hurt me? I ain't had a drink since noon.
00:49:23 #799 We get the sledge. The expensive salt fork, Mr. Morgan.
00:50:04 #800 Not the way we get them.
00:50:05 #801 Let them over and stack them in the barn.
00:50:07 #802 Yes, sir. This looks like the best shipment we've had yet.
00:50:11 #803 Wonder what Raiders worked up about.
00:50:12 #804 Him and the old man been arguing for an hour.
00:50:14 #805 Looks like another job for us if Raider thought of it.
00:50:17 #806 The best point, education is a wonderful thing.
00:50:20 #807 Yeah, if you can collect on it.
00:50:22 #808 I signed up because you promised to pay me.
00:50:25 #809 Trained this rabble gang of yours to a solid fast-moving unit of fighters.
00:50:30 #810 I taught him how to use these new rifles
00:50:32 #811 how to follow orders and take a town in army fashion.
00:50:35 #812 But I haven't received a red sentence in three months.
00:50:38 #813 Now, what about it?
00:50:40 #814 Mr. Rader, I enlisted you on the recommendation of friends in the East
00:50:44 #815 who said you would work for the cause.
00:50:46 #816 You've done your job well. I have no complaint up to now.
00:50:49 #817 But our plans are ahead of any personal greed.
00:50:52 #818 If you feel otherwise, you are free to get out.
00:50:55 #819 But you must decide here and now.
00:50:57 #820 I want only a loyal man around me.
00:50:59 #821 Gildy, I proved that at Ossawatami and every other town we've raided.
00:51:12 #822 But you hired me as a military expert at a set price.
00:51:15 #823 Now, I'm only asking what's rightly due me.
00:51:17 #824 And I say that you'll receive it in time.
00:51:20 #825 Only let me think in peace.
00:51:22 #826 My son is a prisoner in the hands of our enemies.
00:51:25 #827 Even now, he may have a rope around his neck.
00:51:27 #828 An innocent boy who never fired a gun in anger in his life.
00:51:31 #829 While I stand here, powerless to save him.
00:51:35 #830 All right, I'll turn next move.
00:51:45 #831 I will set an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
00:51:48 #832 We will destroy Delaware crossing.
00:51:52 #833 Well, what the...
00:52:20 #834 Well, the major's sort of turned us down, too.
00:52:22 #835 But here we are, Lieutenant Jim.
00:52:24 #836 What do you mean trailing us halfway across Kansas?
00:52:26 #837 We don't want you to get lost.
00:52:28 #838 You see, I know every wriggler this year,
00:52:29 #839 a country just like my own fate.
00:52:31 #840 Well, you're sure that's just as dirty.
00:52:33 #841 I've got a good mind to get a couple of mules
00:52:34 #842 and strap you on the back and send you home.
00:52:37 #843 A fine-looking pair of soldiers you make.
00:52:39 #844 Well, we need some of them pants and a cap.
00:52:42 #845 And then, of course, if some soldiers just our size
00:52:44 #846 get killed, why?
00:52:46 #847 All right, get back to the end of the column.
00:52:48 #848 Go on before I get that mule.
00:52:50 #849 We don't have to have been orders.
00:52:51 #850 Since we ain't in the army.
00:52:53 #851 But we will.
00:52:54 #852 Yeah.
00:52:55 #853 Ha!
00:52:56 #854 Whoo!
00:53:00 #855 We little kid hears about this.
00:53:01 #856 She'll skin him alive.
00:53:02 #857 That's if they got any skin left.
00:53:04 #858 Who did this?
00:53:58 #859 How many men did he have with him?
00:54:04 #860 Around a hundred.
00:54:05 #861 Maybe more.
00:54:07 #862 How long since he left?
00:54:08 #863 Three, four hours.
00:54:11 #864 We lost count of time.
00:54:14 #865 You're the man that had to run in with one of the Browns on the train.
00:54:18 #866 Is this in revenge for that?
00:54:20 #867 Yes. We're free staters here.
00:54:22 #868 Brown always knew we'd get him someday.
00:54:25 #869 If he didn't get us first.
00:54:28 #870 Well, I'll leave you some men to help you bury your dead.
00:54:31 #871 Let's see you back to Leavenworth.
00:54:33 #872 We don't want any help. This is our fight.
00:54:35 #873 We don't want you or nobody else to finish it.
00:54:39 #874 I'm going to take care of John Brown myself.
00:54:42 #875 Get on your way, soldier. We got work to do.
00:54:45 #876 I know how you men must feel about this.
00:54:47 #877 But my orders are to break up all armed forces, yours, John Browns, or anyone else's.
00:54:53 #878 I'm sorry, but if you organize under arms, I won't be able to draw a line between you.
00:54:57 #879 That suits us. If it's got to be.
00:55:20 #880 What did you find out, Kitchmiller?
00:55:22 #881 A trooper cavalry from Fort Leveller, at the head of this way.
00:55:25 #882 You're not fools.
00:55:27 #883 She will be moving camp.
00:55:29 #884 Round up all your men. Get the wagons ready to roll.
00:55:31 #885 Just food and ammunition. We're traveling light and moving fast.
00:55:33 #886 What about the Negroes? We can't take all of them.
00:55:36 #887 They're not taking any of them.
00:55:38 #888 And children, the hour of deliverance I promised you was come.
00:56:05 #889 I am leaving Kansas now to continue God's holy word.
00:56:11 #890 For Gideon took ten men of his servants,
00:56:15 #891 and did as God had said under him.
00:56:17 #892 And it was so that he did it by night,
00:56:19 #893 and when the men of the wicked city arose early in the morning,
00:56:23 #894 Behold, the altar of Baal was cast down.
00:56:26 #895 Please, Captain Brown, what did that mean?
00:56:29 #896 What you're going to do with us?
00:56:31 #897 Means that you are free, the first of many millions
00:56:33 #898 to whom I shall give freedom from slavery.
00:56:36 #899 Does just saying so make us free?
00:56:40 #900 How we're going to live?
00:56:41 #901 Get food and shelter.
00:56:43 #902 There are many good people in Kansas
00:56:45 #903 who will give you work and protection.
00:56:47 #904 From now on, you must spend for yourselves
00:56:50 #905 as other free men do.
00:56:53 #906 My work here is done.
00:56:55 #907 Praise the Lord.
00:56:56 #908 Slowly, bless God, we're free.
00:56:59 #909 The captain kept his word.
00:57:00 #910 We're free.
00:57:03 #911 God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God, God.
00:57:17 #912 You know, John Brown is 100 men.
00:57:19 #913 We'd better send a runner back, bring up the rest of the troop.
00:57:22 #914 Better do it tonight.
00:57:24 #915 I'm going into Palmyra, George.
00:57:26 #916 You alone?
00:57:27 #917 Don't be crazy, Jeb.
00:57:28 #918 That town's full of J-hawkers.
00:57:29 #919 They'd shoot you on sight.
00:57:31 #920 I'll have to take a chance on that.
00:57:33 #921 I'm going to get some other clothes, take a couple of men, and go in and do some Scotty.
00:57:37 #922 I'll try to send you back word.
00:57:40 #923 Good luck.
00:57:42 #924 Say, do you two fellas still want to join the army? Huh?
00:57:44 #925 I've got a job for you. It's no picnic, it's pretty dangerous.
00:57:47 #926 But I think you're the fellas for it. What do you say?
00:57:49 #927 You mean we're going to have a real camp in a uniform?
00:57:53 #928 Well, we might have to be buried in them, but it sure sounds like a deal.
00:58:15 #929 We came here the whole of Kansas.
00:58:23 #930 Good looking over in this year, man's town. Yeah.
00:58:33 #931 I feel just like I was taking a bath in the bathtub
00:58:36 #932 without no sides on it.
00:58:37 #933 You're the kind of a tub you ever was in.
00:58:39 #934 Say, who could I talk to in this kind of a town
00:58:41 #935 without a rousing suspicion?
00:58:43 #936 The town barber.
00:58:44 #937 That's right.
00:58:45 #938 Any time a barber can't talk to a stranger,
00:58:47 #939 he's liable to go crazy.
00:58:49 #940 Town barber.
00:58:51 #941 Hmm?
00:58:52 #942 That's it.
00:59:02 #943 Howdy, boys.
00:59:03 #944 Howdy.
00:59:10 #945 Pretty good looking horse for this part of the world.
00:59:13 #946 Yeah.
00:59:14 #947 Kansas is all right for men and dogs, but it's pretty hard on women and horses.
00:59:19 #948 Say, look at that brand.
00:59:27 #949 That's an army horse.
00:59:32 #950 Maybe he just bought him from somewhere.
00:59:34 #951 Oh, they don't sell them.
00:59:36 #952 Nobody rides that brand but a soldier.
00:59:40 #953 You keep your eye on him till I get back.
00:59:47 #954 You still got that creepy feeling about this place?
00:59:49 #955 I don't know whether it's that or these year chiggers,
00:59:51 #956 but something's creeping over me.
00:59:53 #957 Why don't you scratch and see if it goes away?
00:59:56 #958 I'd written that as all it was.
01:00:04 #959 Say, I got it now.
01:00:06 #960 We was on the same train a couple of months ago
01:00:08 #961 when that fella got killed.
01:00:10 #962 Uh-uh. You probably got me mixed up with somebody else.
01:00:12 #963 No, sir, I never forget a face.
01:00:14 #964 Although I was a little drunk at the time.
01:00:16 #965 Well, they are.
01:00:17 #966 Fella, you so probably had two faces.
01:00:20 #967 Been in town a long?
01:00:21 #968 Oh, just a couple of weeks.
01:00:22 #969 This ain't no time for barbers.
01:00:24 #970 The fellas ain't trying to hide their faces
01:00:25 #971 for some reason or other.
01:00:27 #972 Too mean to spend the money.
01:00:28 #973 Yes, I've heard you've got some pretty tough customers here.
01:00:31 #974 Say, I'm afraid a shave happened
01:00:33 #975 if he doesn't get up and cut my throat.
01:00:35 #976 Say, have you ever run across this famous...
01:00:38 #977 what's his name, John Brown?
01:00:40 #978 Sure, he came in here once,
01:00:41 #979 strange-looking man with a hemp mark on his throat.
01:00:44 #980 Hemp mark? What's that?
01:00:45 #981 Oh, it's an old barber's stupostition.
01:00:47 #982 A little red line that runs all the way around here.
01:00:50 #983 Anybody born with that mark is bound to be hung.
01:00:52 #984 That's, uh...
01:00:54 #985 say, I haven't got one, have I?
01:00:56 #986 Not yet.
01:00:58 #987 Maybe. This was quite an idea, Stuart.
01:01:18 #988 You're coming in alone first to look around?
01:01:21 #989 There's this one of your agents.
01:01:24 #990 I ain't never laid eyes on them before. I swear it. I don't know them from Adam.
01:01:28 #991 What were you up to?
01:01:30 #992 Well, it's your move. You figure it out.
01:01:33 #993 My next move is plain enough.
01:01:35 #994 Didn't they teach us how to handle spies when we caught them red-handed?
01:01:39 #995 Same treatment for renegades, wasn't it?
01:01:41 #996 When you catch them.
01:01:43 #997 This will make you quite a hero, Stuart.
01:01:45 #998 Let's do it. The class of 54 will turn out in a body for your funeral.
01:01:49 #999 They may even hang your picture in the West Point Library.
01:01:52 #1000 This is the best place to hang.
01:01:54 #1001 Get him out of here, Ray, or we're wasting time.
01:01:56 #1002 Just having the last few words with an old classmate of mine.
01:02:00 #1003 And I had them coming to me. Come on, get up.
01:02:08 #1004 We're going to give you a good look at what you came to see.
01:02:11 #1005 We can't afford to take chances, sir. He was sent here as a spy.
01:02:28 #1006 It's my advice to get rid of him.
01:02:29 #1007 Let's bring him up.
01:02:30 #1008 Yeah, and right away.
01:02:31 #1009 What did you hope to achieve by coming alone to Palmyra?
01:02:35 #1010 The army has orders from Washington to bring you to trial.
01:02:38 #1011 I hope that if I came face to face with you first,
01:02:40 #1012 a lot of unnecessary bloodshed might be avoided for your men and mine.
01:02:43 #1013 Were you innocent enough to think that I would surrender myself to you without a fight?
01:02:48 #1014 I hope that you might consider yourself innocent enough to do that.
01:02:51 #1015 Half of the people in America believe in your theory.
01:02:54 #1016 A lot of them even condone your methods.
01:02:56 #1017 That'll guarantee you a public trial.
01:02:58 #1018 I'm not on trial, but the nation itself.
01:03:03 #1019 Are you too stupid and blinded by a uniform to see what I see?
01:03:07 #1020 A dark and evil curse laying all over this land.
01:03:11 #1021 A carnal sin against God.
01:03:14 #1022 Can only be wiped out in blood.
01:03:16 #1023 But why in blood?
01:03:18 #1024 The people of Virginia are considered a resolution to abolish slavery for a long time.
01:03:22 #1025 They sense that it's a moral wrong.
01:03:24 #1026 And the rest of the South will follow Virginia's example.
01:03:27 #1027 All they ask is time.
01:03:29 #1028 Time?
01:03:32 #1029 For 30 years, I waited for the South to cleanse its soul of this crime.
01:03:36 #1030 Since childhood, I have been possessed of the fire of correcting this wrong.
01:03:41 #1031 I tried peaceful agitation. As God is my witness, I tried.
01:03:47 #1032 Peaceful means fail long ago. Now I shall force a decision by bringing both sides into armed conflict.
01:03:54 #1033 Letters, words, talk. The time has ended for that.
01:03:57 #1034 Strength and action, I want it now.
01:03:59 #1035 Not a voice crying in the wilderness, but a David,
01:04:02 #1036 armed with the power and the glory.
01:04:04 #1037 David had a son, hadn't he?
01:04:06 #1038 Son?
01:04:07 #1039 Yes, Absalom, who deserted his father and went over to the enemy.
01:04:10 #1040 You trying to tell me, Stuart?
01:04:17 #1041 An Absalom died because he fed his father.
01:04:20 #1042 Jason is dead.
01:04:24 #1043 So be it.
01:04:28 #1044 My son has paid for the sins of this world with his life,
01:04:32 #1045 as once did the Son of God.
01:04:34 #1046 It shall not be in vain.
01:04:37 #1047 Whether you kill me or not, the army will crush you all in the end.
01:04:42 #1048 My advice to you is to find peace with your maker.
01:04:46 #1049 Now the big one.
01:04:52 #1050 Like barbers know how.
01:04:56 #1051 Now spill out you little big rum weasel.
01:04:58 #1052 I'll cut you a throat. Where'd he go?
01:04:59 #1053 I swear I don't know boys.
01:05:01 #1054 He's taken out that way.
01:05:03 #1055 Who took him?
01:05:04 #1056 The three fellas. One of them was Oliver Brown.
01:05:08 #1057 Do you see this razor?
01:05:12 #1058 Well I'm keeping it.
01:05:13 #1059 If you move the hair when we get back,
01:05:14 #1060 I'm going to strap it on your liver and barber cue your carcass.
01:05:17 #1061 I used to have a yard.
01:05:26 #1062 For me.
01:05:27 #1063 To close your old together as witnesses.
01:05:42 #1064 To hear my words.
01:05:44 #1065 An enemy to the cause has entered our midst,
01:05:46 #1066 stealthily and by night,
01:05:48 #1067 with the purpose of planning our destruction.
01:05:50 #1068 The hand that has never failed us
01:05:52 #1069 has come once again to our protection.
01:05:54 #1070 It's not with malice or revenge
01:05:56 #1071 that we take this man's life.
01:05:58 #1072 But in just retribution,
01:06:00 #1073 as if it fits all enemies of mankind.
01:06:02 #1074 All enemies of God.
01:06:04 #1075 Ready, sir.
01:06:07 #1076 When they was babies, I wrapped one in.
01:11:12 #1077 And when they'd growed up and tuck on too much corn liquor, then I wrapped other in.
01:11:16 #1078 All right. Now what makes you leave home?
01:11:18 #1079 Well, old John Brown said he's gonna give us freedom.
01:11:22 #1080 But shuckins, if this year can't see this freedom, then I ain't got no use for it. No, sir.
01:11:28 #1081 Me neither. I just want to get back home to Texas and set till kingdom come.
01:11:33 #1082 Well, I'm...
01:11:51 #1083 Nice ride. Both ways.
01:11:53 #1084 Lost him, huh?
01:11:54 #1085 He and a few others got away in the hills.
01:11:56 #1086 I think I hit one, Jeb. You ought to hurt him, Holler!
01:11:59 #1087 Heard him, Holler. You jug-hit that with me. You shot my hat off.
01:12:03 #1088 Well, it won't matter much.
01:12:07 #1089 I'll find every man's hand against him.
01:12:09 #1090 Nothing will ever break the force of John Brown, Jeb.
01:12:12 #1091 Not even death.
01:12:13 #1092 Oh, you're wrong, George. He's finished.
01:12:16 #1093 His force is broken forever.
01:12:18 #1094 Victor, I serve no lord.
01:12:33 #1095 Therefore do I not find favor with thee?
01:12:37 #1096 Why hast thou laid the weight of all this people upon thee?
01:12:46 #1097 This is a sign for which I awaited, O Lord.
01:12:48 #1098 This is your command, the burning boy.
01:12:55 #1099 There be no peace in all this land until we have
01:12:58 #1100 avenged ourselves upon nine enemies.
01:13:01 #1101 As once you smoked the Philistines, smite now the fury
01:13:05 #1102 of Iorath upon these blind, mispacutten fools.
01:13:10 #1103 I shall be thy right hand.
01:13:12 #1104 My John Brown shall be the sword of joe.
01:13:34 #1105 Good luck, gentlemen.
01:13:36 #1106 The beginning of the railroad of Santa Fe.
01:13:38 #1107 These rails are going to stretch their way across the old trail,
01:13:41 #1108 right over Kansas down into the territory of New Mexico.
01:13:44 #1109 Someday we can tell our grandchildren that we opened the doors of America
01:13:47 #1110 to the great Southwest. Won't we, kid?
01:13:49 #1111 You just built your railroad. I'm not guaranteeing anything.
01:13:53 #1112 The end of John Brown was our beginning.
01:13:56 #1113 Maybe it'll cost a lot more blood and grief, but it's gonna be worth it.
01:13:59 #1114 Dad, can I ring the bell on the first train?
01:14:02 #1115 Yep, and blow the whistle.
01:14:04 #1116 That'll be a day you can live for, kid.
01:14:05 #1117 Oh, pardon me. Where does it come from?
01:15:17 #1118 It's an old army song, a farewell.
01:15:19 #1119 These young men have all been promoted and are ordered back to Washington.
01:15:22 #1120 That's splendid.
01:15:23 #1121 You lucky devils, I had to wait ten years for my captaincy,
01:15:26 #1122 and I also followed tradition by proposing to my wife the same night.
01:15:29 #1123 Wouldn't you like some refreshment? Yes, I would.
01:15:32 #1124 Good idea.
01:15:36 #1125 Well, I think I'll run down to the stable.
01:15:38 #1126 Of course, through a shoe this morning.
01:15:39 #1127 I'll see you later.
01:15:40 #1128 I'll go with you.
01:15:41 #1129 Maybe I can find it.
01:15:42 #1130 You have to go and lie for it.
01:15:50 #1131 Tell the major we's the best barbecue
01:15:51 #1132 is along the Santa Fe Trail.
01:15:53 #1133 I just mentioned this sort of casual.
01:15:55 #1134 How'd I know he's going to take us up on him?
01:15:57 #1135 When he starts eating this, he won't take us up.
01:16:00 #1136 He'll take us up and out.
01:16:01 #1137 You think it's going to be hard chewing, Tex?
01:16:04 #1138 Well, I don't know.
01:16:05 #1139 I still got a hunch.
01:16:07 #1140 We should have skinned it first.
01:16:09 #1141 We took the horns off of it, didn't we?
01:16:14 #1142 What is it, Captain? Paychev? $38?
01:16:16 #1143 Uh-uh, 40. 40 a month.
01:16:18 #1144 Whee! Whee!
01:16:19 #1145 See, that's enough to get...
01:16:21 #1146 Go on, get what?
01:16:22 #1147 Well, you know, this and that.
01:16:23 #1148 What are you planning to do with your extra pay?
01:16:25 #1149 Dectrify the same thing as you are, son.
01:16:32 #1150 Want to draw straws? Not this time.
01:16:34 #1151 This means too much.
01:16:35 #1152 Well, how are we gonna handle it then?
01:16:37 #1153 Take turns?
01:16:38 #1154 I don't trust you selling boys in the moonlight.
01:16:41 #1155 All right, let's ask it together.
01:16:43 #1156 What is this? You lose!
01:16:50 #1157 Come on, don't argue. Just come along and listen.
01:16:52 #1158 George has something to ask you, Kit.
01:16:59 #1159 You have the floor, George.
01:17:01 #1160 Well, I don't know just how to start, Kit.
01:17:03 #1161 But there's an old Indian woman who hangs around the fort
01:17:05 #1162 and tells people sports, and she's supposed to be a wonder at it, and...
01:17:08 #1163 well...
01:17:10 #1164 Yes, George?
01:17:12 #1165 Well, she said I'm going to get married soon
01:17:14 #1166 to a very beautiful girl.
01:17:16 #1167 Did she, George? That's very nice.
01:17:18 #1168 Pretty slick, upening remark.
01:17:21 #1169 Kit, were you ever by any chance a blonde?
01:17:24 #1170 Why, no. Not even as a baby.
01:17:26 #1171 Are you sure? This old woman's never been wrong before.
01:17:29 #1172 Absolutely sure.
01:17:30 #1173 Well, maybe she's still right.
01:17:32 #1174 There's a whole lot of beautiful blondes in the world, George.
01:17:34 #1175 Let's ask her.
01:17:35 #1176 Let's.
01:17:36 #1177 Wait a minute. Kit, are you in love with him and not with me?
01:17:42 #1178 I guess I am, George.
01:17:44 #1179 You're going to marry him? Oh, wait a minute.
01:17:46 #1180 I can handle this proposal from now on. Kit, you really mean that?
01:17:50 #1181 You haven't asked me anything yet.
01:17:53 #1182 I wonder if I said the wrong thing.
01:17:56 #1183 Could have been more perfect.
01:17:58 #1184 Now where's that Indian?
01:18:00 #1185 I'm not sure.
01:18:16 #1186 I don't know.
01:18:24 #1187 What did she say, Kit? You know the lingo.
01:18:27 #1188 She says that this is one of the last times
01:18:29 #1189 we'll all of us be together as friends.
01:18:32 #1190 I'm not going to ask you something sensible.
01:18:35 #1191 Who's going to be the first general?
01:18:37 #1192 When I tell my friends,
01:18:39 #1193 I'll tell them that I'm going to be able to do it.
01:18:45 #1194 She says that one day you'll all be famous, ma'am.
01:18:50 #1195 Great in battle, but better enemies.
01:18:54 #1196 What?
01:18:56 #1197 Picket hood, custard shirt, and long street, and me, enemies?
01:19:00 #1198 Now I know she's crazy.
01:19:02 #1199 Where'd you ever pick up this old picket, George?
01:19:04 #1200 This old baker George.
01:19:05 #1201 I can tell better fortunes than that with tea leaves.
01:19:08 #1202 Well, we might as well get our money's worth.
01:19:09 #1203 Ask her what we're going to fight about.
01:19:10 #1204 Yeah, who's going to start it?
01:19:13 #1205 We're going to ask one Jimmy Godward.
01:19:15 #1206 Well, I'm going to ask him to be a man.
01:19:17 #1207 I'm going to say I don't know if I'm going to be a man.
01:19:20 #1208 I'm going to ask him to be a man.
01:19:32 #1209 Well, what's this?
01:19:34 #1210 Too ridiculous to tell?
01:19:35 #1211 She says the fight has already started.
01:19:39 #1212 Somewhere in the east, a man is lighting a torch.
01:19:42 #1213 Now at this very moment, the two of us will help to kill him.
01:19:47 #1214 But none of us can stop him.
01:19:59 #1215 Ha!
01:20:09 #1216 Here's where I would attack first, the arsenal of Harper's Ferry.
01:20:13 #1217 Give me only a hundred good men, Dr. Russell.
01:20:16 #1218 Well armed and God fearing men who believe in the cause.
01:20:20 #1219 I will lead them through Virginia.
01:20:22 #1220 Rouse the thousands of discontented slaves who will flock to join us.
01:20:26 #1221 Then sweep down through the south, through the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi.
01:20:30 #1222 Then with the entire nation in the state of chaos, we can dictate our own terms.
01:20:35 #1223 Have you considered the army, Captain Brown?
01:20:37 #1224 Surely there'll be after you in full force within a few hours after your first attack.
01:20:42 #1225 Let them come, Dr. Russell. Let them try to stop me.
01:20:44 #1226 I've studied that country for years. It's full of good hiding places, natural forts,
01:20:49 #1227 where large forces of brave men can defy pursuit indefinitely.
01:20:52 #1228 Mr. Radier will go ahead of us and scout the town.
01:20:55 #1229 Yes, sir.
01:20:56 #1230 With his knowledge of military methods and our great advantage of surprise, we can outwit
01:21:00 #1231 the army at every turn.
01:21:02 #1232 Captain Brown, this plan of yours is mad.
01:21:04 #1233 Worse than mad.
01:21:05 #1234 It's high treason.
01:21:06 #1235 Such a brazen attack would lead to civil war.
01:21:09 #1236 Exactly!
01:21:10 #1237 That is exactly what I want.
01:21:11 #1238 Is it your wish then to destroy the Union?
01:21:14 #1239 My answer to that is yes.
01:21:16 #1240 To the devil with the Union.
01:21:18 #1241 We've got to fight some time.
01:21:19 #1242 It might as well be now.
01:21:23 #1243 Gentlemen, I came here to Boston at great personal risk.
01:21:27 #1244 There's a price in my head of $10,000, so my time is precious.
01:21:31 #1245 You've given me much help and encouragement up to now.
01:21:35 #1246 But all that we have done in Kansas and elsewhere
01:21:37 #1247 will be wasted, unless you see it through to the glorious end.
01:21:46 #1248 How much money will you need?
01:21:57 #1249 It's ammunition, pipes, a complete store of supplies.
01:22:00 #1250 The place in the hour is set.
01:22:01 #1251 Harper's Ferry, daybreak, Monday, October the 16th.
01:22:04 #1252 We will strike with two forces, suddenly
01:22:05 #1253 with complete surprise, and then move rapidly
01:22:07 #1254 through Virginia.
01:22:09 #1255 You men all know what will be demanded of you.
01:22:10 #1256 Yes, well, we do, Captain.
01:22:12 #1257 Captain.
01:22:13 #1258 Well, the town itself won't be any trouble.
01:22:34 #1259 There's a bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to be blocked.
01:22:37 #1260 We've got to cut that telegraph line to Washington.
01:22:39 #1261 What about the government arsenal?
01:22:40 #1262 It's guarded by only two men.
01:22:43 #1263 Here, I made this rough map of the place. Excellent.
01:22:49 #1264 This is precisely what I wanted.
01:22:51 #1265 We must first take some hostages from the town.
01:22:53 #1266 That'll prevent an attack by the civilians,
01:22:54 #1267 and we'll move directly on the arsenal.
01:22:55 #1268 Well, there's something else.
01:22:57 #1269 What?
01:22:58 #1270 I want to settle our account.
01:23:00 #1271 Back in Kansas, you promised to pay me what's due when you got the money.
01:23:02 #1272 How dare you demand a settlement of a private matter?
01:23:05 #1273 The nation's hour of deliverance, not three days off.
01:23:08 #1274 That's putting the cart before the horse, isn't it?
01:23:10 #1275 I've done a job for you, nobody else could do.
01:23:12 #1276 So I was right at Palmyra.
01:23:14 #1277 The cause itself means nothing to me.
01:23:15 #1278 I'm only holding you to your word.
01:23:16 #1279 Are you indeed? Have you forgotten so quickly my methods with disloyalty?
01:23:19 #1280 I haven't forgotten anything.
01:23:21 #1281 Would you get the money to pay me and you can't afford not to?
01:23:22 #1282 They're not just your memory.
01:23:25 #1283 I haven't waited 30 years to bargain with a rogue at the final hour.
01:24:00 #1284 You ever see me, Walt?
01:24:01 #1285 I've heard of it.
01:24:02 #1286 But this ain't no Santa Fe shape down.
01:24:05 #1287 Walter, you and I society now.
01:24:07 #1288 Come on.
01:24:08 #1289 Mm.
01:24:11 #1290 May I have the invitations, please, gentlemen?
01:24:13 #1291 What's them?
01:24:14 #1292 Them's them little white cards.
01:24:16 #1293 We ain't got no invitations, Joe.
01:24:18 #1294 Can't we get in on our uniform?
01:24:20 #1295 No, sir.
01:24:21 #1296 Not unless you want to go right out on them again.
01:24:23 #1297 Oh, we're the fellas who cleaned up Kansas.
01:24:25 #1298 Ain't you ever heard of us?
01:24:26 #1299 Sorry, sir, but we don't need no cleaning.
01:24:29 #1300 Didn't you hear?
01:24:52 #1301 Handsome.
01:24:53 #1302 Oh, hi, Chip.
01:24:55 #1303 My, your dream tonight.
01:24:56 #1304 How's the party?
01:24:58 #1305 Well, no, she hasn't come out yet.
01:25:00 #1306 Who are you waiting for?
01:25:01 #1307 Oh, a friend of mine.
01:25:02 #1308 Promise me a surprise tonight.
01:25:04 #1309 Tonight I'd remember the rest of my life.
01:25:06 #1310 Well, you don't know any girl here but Kit, you know.
01:25:09 #1311 I'm not talking.
01:25:10 #1312 You don't rate quite as high as you think you do, Kit.
01:25:12 #1313 Stewart, hello, Kit.
01:25:16 #1314 You look wonderful.
01:25:17 #1315 Thank you.
01:25:18 #1316 Say, George was just telling me you promised him
01:25:20 #1317 the biggest night of his life.
01:25:21 #1318 Where do I come in?
01:25:22 #1319 You don't.
01:25:23 #1320 I'm very fond of George.
01:25:25 #1321 Thank you, Kit.
01:25:26 #1322 I haven't told you this, but we have a deep understanding.
01:25:29 #1323 Wait a minute, Kit.
01:25:30 #1324 Are you serious? What is this?
01:25:32 #1325 I'm going to take care of George for the rest of his life. Kit.
01:25:34 #1326 That is, he's the man I think he is.
01:25:36 #1327 Oh, Kit, I have my faults.
01:25:38 #1328 But I can be as faithful and loyal as any man that ever lived.
01:25:40 #1329 Don't see.
01:25:41 #1330 Now wait here, both of you.
01:25:44 #1331 Tough luck, son.
01:25:45 #1332 I guess we can't all have charm and good luck, too.
01:25:48 #1333 Costor, I hope you're joking or you're not going to have either.
01:25:50 #1334 Oh, don't take it so hard.
01:25:51 #1335 I mean, this is something that could happen to the public.
01:25:53 #1336 Charlotte, I want you to meet Captain Custer and Captain Stewart.
01:25:56 #1337 This is Charlotte Davis. We were schoolmates together in Boston.
01:25:59 #1338 It's a pleasure, Mr. Adams.
01:26:00 #1339 Thank you, Captain.
01:26:01 #1340 Yes, indeed. A great pleasure.
01:26:03 #1341 I've heard so much about you, Captain Custer.
01:26:05 #1342 Me?
01:26:06 #1343 Mm-hmm.
01:26:07 #1344 Well, I...
01:26:09 #1345 Well, that is... I mean, uh...
01:26:11 #1346 Well, uh... Well, that is...
01:26:13 #1347 Shall we dance, Jim?
01:26:15 #1348 Yes, of course.
01:26:17 #1349 Who is she?
01:26:19 #1350 That's the Captain.
01:26:21 #1351 Wish you.
01:26:22 #1352 That's the blob.
01:26:24 #1353 The one that George was promised by old Sid in the mud.
01:26:27 #1354 Oh, I see.
01:26:31 #1355 Pretty nice.
01:26:32 #1356 What'd you think?
01:26:45 #1357 Present. Arms. Prepare to scoop.
01:26:48 #1358 Yes, sir.
01:26:55 #1359 Out in the middle of Kansas facing 500 crazy fanatics heavily armed.
01:27:14 #1360 And me with only 15 soldiers.
01:27:16 #1361 Heavens, Captain. How terrifying.
01:27:18 #1362 What did you do?
01:27:20 #1363 I was just sized up the situation at a glance, dismounted and walked straight toward him.
01:27:23 #1364 Not alone.
01:27:26 #1365 My dear young lady, there comes a time in every soldier's life when he must stand or fall alone.
01:27:30 #1366 And if you knew the army, you'd understand that he who hesitates is lost.
01:27:34 #1367 Oh, it's a very wonderful captain.
01:27:36 #1368 Oh, it was nothing, really.
01:27:47 #1369 Would you come and meet my father, Captain?
01:27:49 #1370 I'd be delighted.
01:27:51 #1371 See you in the government service?
01:27:53 #1372 Yes, but I think you lose a job in the next election.
01:27:55 #1373 Oh, that's too bad.
01:27:56 #1374 He should be in the army. You know, politics don't bother us.
01:27:58 #1375 He'd rather go fishing anyway. Father.
01:28:01 #1376 Hello, Charlotte. Hello, Colonel Lee. Hi, Dan.
01:28:03 #1377 Father, I'd like you to meet Captain George Custer.
01:28:06 #1378 Oh, but of course I met the Captain at West Point
01:28:08 #1379 when he graduated, didn't I?
01:28:10 #1380 Yes, sir.
01:28:11 #1381 Hi, your Custer.
01:28:12 #1382 I'm fine, Colonel Lee.
01:28:14 #1383 We've heard good things about you.
01:28:15 #1384 Congratulations.
01:28:16 #1385 Yes, the Captain's just been telling me
01:28:17 #1386 how he put down the trouble on Kansas by himself.
01:28:22 #1387 Splendid job, Pileman.
01:28:23 #1388 Splendid.
01:28:25 #1389 Wasn't there also a chap named Stewart?
01:28:27 #1390 Is Chairman Stewart connected with that campaign?
01:28:30 #1391 Stewart? Yes, sir.
01:28:32 #1392 He was around.
01:28:35 #1393 Shall we dance?
01:28:37 #1394 Sister wants her ready.
01:29:09 #1395 I don't want her. I want you.
01:29:10 #1396 Come on.
01:29:11 #1397 Hey, you can't have me straddle
01:29:12 #1398 in the middle of a ballroom.
01:29:13 #1399 Quiet, spread.
01:29:14 #1400 Phil, Phil, take over this detail, will you?
01:29:17 #1401 OK.
01:29:20 #1402 Are you drunk? I'm not. I ought to be.
01:29:22 #1403 I've just seen enough to knock anybody down.
01:29:23 #1404 What are you talking about?
01:29:24 #1405 A old friend of yours is outside.
01:29:25 #1406 He asked me to bring you to her.
01:29:27 #1407 Almost touched it.
01:29:56 #1408 What are you doing here?
01:29:58 #1409 I came to find you.
01:30:01 #1410 I know what you think of me, Stuart, that I'm no good.
01:30:05 #1411 Maybe you're right.
01:30:06 #1412 But maybe I've got something to tell you
01:30:08 #1413 that'll change your opinion.
01:30:10 #1414 You'll have a hard time doing that.
01:30:11 #1415 Suppose I told you that I left John Brown three hours ago
01:30:15 #1416 with a well-armed force of men.
01:30:17 #1417 Not very many miles from where we're standing.
01:30:20 #1418 I'd say you were out of your mind.
01:30:21 #1419 All set to strike at Harper's Ferry on the Maryland
01:30:24 #1420 Virginia lines sometime tonight.
01:30:26 #1421 The reinforcements of over 1,200 men
01:30:29 #1422 expected before daybreak from Pennsylvania.
01:30:32 #1423 Brown plans to arouse the slaves.
01:30:35 #1424 First in Virginia, then throughout the South
01:30:37 #1425 and open rebellion.
01:30:38 #1426 The telegraph wires will be cut and he'll block the railroad.
01:30:41 #1427 And then at daybreak, they rush the arsenal.
01:30:43 #1428 Take thousands of weapons with the idea
01:30:45 #1429 of arming the Negroes.
01:30:48 #1430 Well, that's the situation, gentlemen.
01:30:49 #1431 Move from move. I don't know.
01:30:51 #1432 You may be able to get there ahead of them,
01:30:52 #1433 But if you do, you've got to move fast tonight.
01:30:55 #1434 It's fantastic.
01:30:57 #1435 Our Secret Service has reported John Brown
01:30:59 #1436 to be out of the country.
01:31:00 #1437 Well, I ought to know where he is.
01:31:02 #1438 I've been with him every day and every mile
01:31:04 #1439 since we left Kansas.
01:31:06 #1440 Then why have you informed on him?
01:31:09 #1441 Don't forget, Colonel, I was in the service once.
01:31:12 #1442 I was young, and I made a mistake.
01:31:14 #1443 I didn't know that then, but I do now.
01:31:17 #1444 I guess some of the things we learned at West Point
01:31:19 #1445 stay on inside of us a lot deeper than we realize.
01:31:23 #1446 Anyway, I couldn't stand by and see my country torn apart by a madman like Brown.
01:31:28 #1447 I had to come here.
01:31:30 #1448 This was something a lot bigger than myself.
01:31:33 #1449 Couldn't have been the size of the reward you'll get the turning of in credit.
01:31:36 #1450 I said why I came here and that's the truth.
01:31:39 #1451 Amon titled any reward.
01:31:44 #1452 I'm even willing to go back there and rejoin him tonight just in case he
01:31:47 #1453 gets suspicious or changes his plan.
01:31:51 #1454 Now, what more proof do you want than that?
01:31:52 #1455 I believe in because it's too dangerous, not too.
01:31:55 #1456 How soon can you start, Colonel?
01:31:57 #1457 We'll be ready to leave in an hour.
01:31:59 #1458 The officers are all here.
01:32:01 #1459 Call them at once and proceed with all speed to Harper's Ferry.
01:32:04 #1460 What is it, Captain Stewart?
01:32:15 #1461 Yes, sir.
01:32:16 #1462 What is it? What's happening?
01:32:20 #1463 John Brown, get the little Davis girl to take her home, will you, darling?
01:32:23 #1464 Good-bye, but...
01:32:24 #1465 I'm sorry, I can't explain now. No time.
01:32:25 #1466 Try to keep the others calm. Tell them there's nothing to be excited about.
01:32:28 #1467 Goodbye.
01:32:30 #1468 You say no train is due until well after daybreak.
01:32:57 #1469 No, sir, not until late o'clock.
01:32:59 #1470 I rode within 10 miles of Washington to make sure.
01:33:02 #1471 What kept you so long?
01:33:03 #1472 I'd take a side road both ways.
01:33:05 #1473 Ugh!
01:33:06 #1474 Shubl, Townsley, get your men, block the railroad bridge.
01:33:10 #1475 We meet below the arsenal at daybreak.
01:33:12 #1476 Kids smell a go to the town with 20 men and get the hostages.
01:33:14 #1477 You know the ones?
01:33:15 #1478 Yes, sir.
01:33:16 #1479 Rest you men, follow me.
01:33:17 #1480 A thousand men.
01:34:00 #1481 It's plenty of powder and bullets.
01:34:02 #1482 Stack those guns and ammunition near the door, ready to haul.
01:34:05 #1483 Turning up boys, get them out there.
01:34:06 #1484 A man from Pennsylvania will be here within the hour.
01:34:08 #1485 This isn't an arsenal. It's a fortress.
01:34:10 #1486 We could stand off the whole army here.
01:34:11 #1487 What about the prisoners, Captain?
01:34:13 #1488 What does the meaning of this outrage?
01:34:15 #1489 Why have you broken into our homes and dragged us here?
01:34:18 #1490 Who are you?
01:34:19 #1491 I am John Brown of Kansas.
01:34:21 #1492 John Brown?
01:34:22 #1493 You are prisoners of the provisional government
01:34:24 #1494 of the United States.
01:34:26 #1495 The citizens of Harpers Ferry attempt any interference.
01:34:29 #1496 I shall use you as I see fit.
01:34:31 #1497 Otherwise, you will be peacefully released when we depart.
01:34:35 #1498 We must adhere to our schedule to the precise minute.
01:34:38 #1499 We will leave here at 10 o'clock.
01:34:39 #1500 My knife hole should be 35 miles into Virginia.
01:34:41 #1501 What about the men from Pennsylvania, sir?
01:34:43 #1502 If they're late in arriving, we cannot wait.
01:34:45 #1503 Wouldn't that be taking a long chance?
01:34:47 #1504 No word of us can leak out until tomorrow,
01:34:48 #1505 maybe even two or three days, and then we'd be 1,500 men.
01:34:52 #1506 I don't see that there's any reason to hurry.
01:34:54 #1507 That sounds sensible.
01:34:55 #1508 I disagree.
01:34:56 #1509 I'm anxious to get out of here in time
01:34:57 #1510 as I'm most valuable weapon.
01:34:59 #1511 You're in command, sir.
01:35:01 #1512 But that's been the fatal mistake to many an expedition.
01:35:03 #1513 My advice is to wait.
01:35:05 #1514 If we're lovin' with old shotguns,
01:35:28 #1515 We can clean them out in five minutes.
01:35:30 #1516 You idiots.
01:35:35 #1517 Why do they fight us?
01:35:36 #1518 Can't they understand?
01:35:51 #1519 Brewer, if you value your life and those of your fellow townsmen,
01:35:54 #1520 you will do as I say.
01:35:57 #1521 Yes.
01:36:15 #1522 And if we leave the arsenal in his hands,
01:36:17 #1523 he will harm none of us.
01:36:19 #1524 No!
01:36:21 #1525 Random!
01:36:33 #1526 Can't they understand we're here and the righteous goes?
01:36:36 #1527 They're interest for all so ours,
01:36:37 #1528 the good of the whole nation.
01:36:39 #1529 We'll leave a lesson at Harper's Ferry
01:36:41 #1530 for the rest of the South to profit by.
01:36:42 #1531 Wipe out those fools at the foot of the hill!
01:37:14 #1532 Take all the weapons and ammunition you can carry with speed.
01:37:19 #1533 It's well past noon. We can wait no longer for the Pennsylvanians.
01:37:22 #1534 18 citizens of Papersford are killed.
01:37:31 #1535 33 wounded by John Browns and Vaters in open rebellion.
01:37:36 #1536 From the second force at Frederick, Maryland.
01:37:40 #1537 The road to Harper's Ferry is blocked. Unable to get through.
01:37:44 #1538 The Chuffs and guards and the Winchester's under Lee's command passed through up a field
01:37:51 #1539 a mile ago.
01:37:52 #1540 They will be the first to arrive at the ferry.
01:38:08 #1541 The North Road, sir.
01:38:09 #1542 The North Road is over there.
01:38:10 #1543 This is the Washington turnpike.
01:38:11 #1544 I thought our men might circle the town as they...
01:38:13 #1545 That was not their orders.
01:38:14 #1546 Help with the wagons.
01:38:15 #1547 Yes, sir.
01:38:16 #1548 But don't you think we ought to wait another half hour?
01:38:19 #1549 It might be the...
01:38:20 #1550 There's no cause to hurry.
01:39:14 #1551 Wait!
01:39:15 #1552 Yes, sure I did. I thought we had time.
01:39:18 #1553 Do it. Yes, sir.
01:39:20 #1554 I want you to take this under a white flag to John Brown.
01:39:23 #1555 Right, sir.
01:39:24 #1556 There's to be no parting. Yes or no.
01:39:35 #1557 If it's a refusal, wave your hat to us.
01:39:38 #1558 Right, sir.
01:39:39 #1559 Hang on to this, will it?
01:39:43 #1560 They're coming up the road with a flag of truce!
01:39:51 #1561 Call me again.
01:39:52 #1562 What a man for your surrender.
01:40:55 #1563 One smorcer. You overrate your strength
01:40:57 #1564 in supposing that I can be taken against my will.
01:41:00 #1565 That's your final answer?
01:41:02 #1566 It is.
01:41:03 #1567 We prefer to die here.
01:41:16 #1568 The gallops, true pain to the left and a gallop.
01:47:02 #1569 This disaster would decree to happen long.
01:47:07 #1570 Remember a night so dark as to have hindered the coming day.
01:47:10 #1571 Form so furious as to prevent the return of warm sunshine in the country at peace.
01:47:17 #1572 Hey John Brown, I'm now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away, but with blood.
01:47:54 #1573 such foes that they can by joining hands. United forever with ties that no man shall
01:48:23 #1574 break a Sunday, nor the years disturb, whose shining paths shall run together from this
01:48:28 #1575 day hence unto eternity.
