0:02:38 > 0:02:44Giddy up! Hah! Git goin'!
0:02:48 > 0:02:55Driver! How much further to this Hassenpfeffer, or whatever you call this confounded place?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Hassayampa? Oh, shouldn't be long now.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Over the rise and round the bend.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07We should've been there an hour ago!
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Don't suppose we could've passed her(?) Might've at that(!)
0:03:12 > 0:03:16We'll get you there, soldier boy!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Soldier boy(!)
0:03:20 > 0:03:25What a country! 40 miles from mud hole to mud hole!
0:03:25 > 0:03:32Mule Creek...Deadman's Squaw... Schmidt's Wells...Hangman's Flats ...Hassayampa!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36And at the end of the rainbow, Fort Apache!
0:03:36 > 0:03:43Fort Apache! Blast an ungrateful war department that sends a man to a post out here!
0:03:43 > 0:03:50- Anyway, I'll be with you. I hated the years you were in Europe. - Better there than here!
0:03:50 > 0:03:56I didn't mean it, Phil, but to be shunted aside after all I've done!
0:04:20 > 0:04:26We're comin' in! Practically on schedule! Practically.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ma MacBean? I'm coming. Nice trip? >
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Smooth as a rock! - How far to Fort Apache?
0:04:57 > 0:05:0035 miles south. Were you expected?
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- I telegraphed.- Telegraph don't mean a thing! One day the wire's up, next day it's...doon.
0:05:06 > 0:05:14- Ma'am, is there a livery stable? - No.- There must be some way to rent a vehicle!- A what?- A rig!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Nothing fit for the lassie!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21My, that's a real bonnie bonnet!
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- St Louis?- Boston. - Oh, Boston, Massachusetts?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31LAUGHTER
0:05:33 > 0:05:36 Mighty pretty, Ma!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Oh, my! Would you like a wee cup of tea?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- Thank you, if it's not too much trouble.- Not a bit!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Clean up right in here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Son, how about a drink?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Gentlemen, I could use one!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Go ahead, my boy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00CLANG!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10< There's your towel! Thanks, Ma.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am... I thought it was Ma...Pardon me!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Who and what are you, Mister?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Lt Michael O'Rourke, sir, en route for duty at Fort Apache.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- Get in uniform!- Yes, sir! - Wash up here?- Through the lean-to.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Soldiers, huh!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57SPITS INTO THE SPITTOON AGAIN
0:07:28 > 0:07:33YI HAH! Johnny Red...Uncle Festus... Timmy...Uncle Dan!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35 Gentlemen, your manners!
0:07:41 > 0:07:50Sgt Mulcahy, with an ambulance and escort for LIEUTENANT... Michael...O'Rourke!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Very good, Sgt. At ease.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54At ease, he said!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06 How much you pay? 75 dollars.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I could've swiped one! It's tailor-made!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Look at the fit! A perfect soldier!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16What do you think of it, Ma'am? Wonderful!
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Ma'am, this is my godson... Lt O'Rourke.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Many's the time he's come to me with a wet nose.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Atten-shun!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- I am Colonel Thursday. I presume you have been sent for me. - No, sir.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- Why are you here?- Escorting the ambulance for Lt O'Rourke, sir. - Not for me?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58You couldn't have been expected, sir.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's obvious, Mister!
0:09:00 > 0:09:09Unless it's the custom to provide transport for Lieutenants and leave Commanding Officers to walk(!)
0:09:09 > 0:09:16- You will, of course, sir, accept my ambulance.- Thank you, Mister. Sgt, we leave in half an hour!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Sir!- Give these men a drink on me.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20ALL: Thank you.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- Oh, may I present Mr O'Brien? - O'ROURKE, sir!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31O'Rourke. This is my daughter, Philadelphia.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34How do you do?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Your servant, ma'am.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Four bottles of beer, Ma.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50And I'll have the same, with a whisky chaser!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48MUSICIANS PLAY A POLKA
0:11:32 > 0:11:34GUARD: Halt! Who goes there?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49ATTEN-SHUN!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58At your ease, gentlemen.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Thursday!- Hello, Collingwood.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12- How do you do, Mrs Collingwood? - Well, thank you...Owen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And this must be Philadelphia!
0:12:19 > 0:12:25You don't remember me? Emily Collingwood. Your mother was my dearest friend.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Why, of course! I've heard so much about you!
0:12:30 > 0:12:36- We didn't expect you... - So I see! Captain York!
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I am Captain York, sir. I bid you welcome, General Thursday.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48A man is what he's paid for. I am paid as a Lieutenant Colonel.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- I had remembered you as a General from the war.- Very flattering.
0:12:53 > 0:13:00- Did you receive my telegraph? - The wires have been down between us and Fort Grant for two days.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- 2 days?!- Fort Grant's 110 miles away!
0:13:04 > 0:13:11- Then this dance is NOT in my honour. - It's a birthday dance, sir.- Whose? - General George Washington's, sir.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16Shall I show you to your quarters, or will you stay?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Under the circumstances, I... - Miss Thursday?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24MUSICIANS PLAY "There's No Place Like Home"
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Hi, Dad.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Mickey!
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Woman of the house... your son is home!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Hi, Ma!
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Oh, how fine you look! But you're so tall!
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Mike, stand beside the boy so I can see you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56You're exactly the same!
0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Now, come and tell me EVERYTHING! - Ma, you haven't changed... nothing has!
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Four years is not long, or did you think I'd be grey?!
0:15:07 > 0:15:14I'll leave you with your son. Lt Michael O'Rourke, sir? Have I your permission to leave?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Sgt-Major O'Rourke may go. Thank you, sir.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23 God bless you this day, Michael!
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Boys, I'm no drinking man, but if the sutler's store is open...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32If it ain't, I'll break it down!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37BUGLE CALL
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Dad?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Dad?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Good morning!
0:16:53 > 0:16:59It's all right, there's no-one here but me, and I've been up for ages!
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Did you want to see Father, or me?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Well, neither, really.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Oh.- I just called to leave my card.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Oh, how nice!
0:17:13 > 0:17:20But, if you don't want to see me, I mean, don't want to see US, then why leave your card?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- I didn't say I didn't WANT to see you.- You did!
0:17:24 > 0:17:30I asked if you wanted to see Father or me, and YOU said, "Neither."
0:17:30 > 0:17:38- I meant, I didn't EXPECT to see either of you!- Who DID you expect?! We DO live here!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Why don't you sit down?
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- Good morning, fair dancing partner! - Good morning, sir! - Relax, Mickey!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I've bad news. You're assigned to me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:30- "Michael O'Rourke, Lieutenant, US Army." Leaving cards already? - He can keep them!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33He can't. Protocol requires it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39"A new officer will leave his card with the Commanding Officer."
0:18:39 > 0:18:44"He will leave additional cards for the ladies of the family!"
0:18:44 > 0:18:51- "The other officers will leave their cards at HIS quarters." - Right! NOW do you understand?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- A duty call?- That's right.
0:18:54 > 0:19:02But regulations do NOT state that the CO's daughter should receive such calls in her nightie!
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- Pish-tush! This is a DRESSING-GOWN, isn't it?- I wouldn't know.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- I haven't RECEIVED any cards, anyway!- Hand them over, Mickey.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- I see, the Lieutenant expected a silver salver.- A WHAT?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23A silver salver. You drop the cards in that. Do you have one?
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Our things haven't even arrived! Why, I slept on a horse blanket!
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Atten-shun! Sgt-Major O'Rourke, sir.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- At ease. Did you say O'Rourke? - Yes, sir.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Place seems full of O'Rourkes!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Sound Officers' Call. - Officers' Call?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- How long have you been in the Army? - 15 years, sir!
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Then you've heard of Officers' Call. Have it sounded!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Sound Officers' Call. Now?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04No, next CHRISTMAS, you loony(!) SOUND IT!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07RAPID BUGLE CALL
0:20:09 > 0:20:14"War Department Special Orders Number 687.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21"Lt Colonel Owen Thursday will proceed to Fort Apache, Arizona, to take command of that post,
0:20:21 > 0:20:27"by direction of the Secretary of War, William Stafford."
0:20:27 > 0:20:33In compliance with this, I take command, relieving Capt York, who will return to his troop.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Capt Collingwood is relieved of his duties as Adjutant.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Lt Gates is appointed Adjutant. At ease, gentlemen.
0:20:43 > 0:20:53I did not seek this command, but since I am here, I intend to make this the finest frontier regiment!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58I realise that prolonged duty in a small outpost
0:20:58 > 0:21:05can lead to carelessness, inefficiency and laxity in dress and deportment.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10I call to your attention that only one of you is properly dressed.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14The uniform is not a subject for individual...
0:21:14 > 0:21:18whimsical expression! We aren't cowboys,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22nor a load of alfalfa freighters!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Mister...er...Murphy... - O'ROURKE, sir!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Mr O'Rourke, will you step forward?
0:21:29 > 0:21:35Gentlemen, I call your attention to Mr O'Rourke's dress.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41Being fresh from West Point, he has not forgotten regulations.
0:21:41 > 0:21:49I trust my other officers will remember them in future, ENFORCING them throughout the command!
0:21:49 > 0:21:57Understand me, gentlemen, I am not a martinet, but I DO want to take pride in my command!
0:21:57 > 0:22:02We here have little chance for glory or advancement.
0:22:02 > 0:22:10Whilst some of our brother officers lead well-publicised campaigns against the GREAT Indian nations -
0:22:10 > 0:22:13the Sioux and the Cheyenne,
0:22:13 > 0:22:18we must ward off the flea bites of Digger Indians.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Your pardon, sir, but Apaches are hardly Digger Indians.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26You CAN'T compare them with the Sioux!
0:22:26 > 0:22:34The Sioux once raided Apache land. Old timers tell me you could follow their retreat by their bones!
0:22:34 > 0:22:41I suggest they have deteriorated, judging by the few specimens I've seen.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- If you saw them, they weren't Apaches.- We'll discuss it later!
0:22:46 > 0:22:51The immediate point is that if we don't understand each other now,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- we soon will. Questions? - SILENCE
0:22:55 > 0:22:58You may return to your breakfasts.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Capt Collingwood, will you stay?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Gentlemen, are there any questions?
0:23:12 > 0:23:18If there are none, I intend to follow orders and have breakfast!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21REPORT TO YOUR TROOP...Sir!
0:23:26 > 0:23:33- Nothing personal in this, Sam. - No explanations, Owen. We've never had them before.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39- Once I tried...- There was nothing to explain!- No, nothing.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You did what you did and got glory.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I did what I did and wound up at Fort Apache.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- Well, you've wound up here... - No, by thunder! I've not WOUND up!
0:23:51 > 0:23:55They won't keep ME buried! I'll find something!
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- This isn't glory country! - I'll take my risks!
0:24:00 > 0:24:06Well, all I can do is wish you good luck, and I wish you that sincerely!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Thank you, Sam.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Have a drink?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20No, thanks, Owen...it's a little early in the day...
0:24:20 > 0:24:23even for me!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Any news about my transfer? Sorry, nothing yet.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42- O'Rourke.- Yes, sir?- Have some mounts brought for my selection.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Yes, sir.- O'Rourke?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56This Lt O'Rourke, are you, by chance, related?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Not by chance, by blood. He's my son!
0:25:00 > 0:25:07I see. How did he happen to get into West Point?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It happened by presidential appointment.
0:25:11 > 0:25:18- Are you a former officer, O'Rourke? - During the war, I was a Major in the Irish Brigade, sir.
0:25:18 > 0:25:26- Still, presidential appointments are restricted to sons of holders of the Medal of Honour.- Yes, sir.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- Will that be all, sir? - Yes, Sergeant, it will.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Good morning!- 'Morning, ma'am.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Good morning!- 'Morning, ma'am.
0:27:01 > 0:27:09- Good morning. Excuse me, could you tell me where Mrs Collingwood lives?- Right there.- Thank you!
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Good morning!- Philadelphia!
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I know it's very early to call...
0:27:19 > 0:27:24- Nonsense, I'm so glad to see you! - I was just passing and...
0:27:24 > 0:27:29My! What a beautiful sideboard... and those candlesticks!
0:27:29 > 0:27:36They were my Aunt Martha's. She died, leaving her fortune to a cats' home and those to me!
0:27:36 > 0:27:40They're lovely! Everything is!
0:27:40 > 0:27:48- But our place...it's so bare... and so dirty!- Oh, you poor child! - And there's no WATER!
0:27:48 > 0:27:54- Mrs Collingwood...- Aunt Emily. - What does a woman DO in the army?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Our things haven't... we haven't even got a coffee pot!
0:27:58 > 0:28:06- Owen Thursday! That MAN! Don't fret, in times of trouble we call on Mrs O'Rourke.- Mrs O'Rourke?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Mrs O'Rourke.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Martha, where's Mrs O'Rourke? Mrs O'Rourke!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Mrs O'Rourke! MRS O'ROURKE!
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- What is it? - Mrs O'Rourke?- Yes, Mrs Collingwood!
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Yes, Mrs Collingwood?
0:28:22 > 0:28:29Mary, this is Colonel Thursday's daughter. This is Mrs O'Rourke, mother of a fine young officer!
0:28:29 > 0:28:37- How do you do, Mrs O'Rourke? - You must be happy that Michael is back.- I am.- How does he look?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Why, he looks WONDERFUL!
0:28:39 > 0:28:43I mean, he makes a fine officer.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Mary, this poor child has to set up house.- I'll see to it!
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Well, he IS nice.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01< ORDER ARMS...ONE...TWO...THREE!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04 Right, now let's try it together.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08READY? ONE...TWO...THREE!
0:29:08 > 0:29:11< PUT THAT PIECE DOWN!
0:29:11 > 0:29:13< PICK IT UP!
0:29:14 > 0:29:16< PUT THAT PIECE DOWN, SOLDIER!
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Sir, do you mean this little-bitty gun...? < GET IN LINE!
0:29:21 > 0:29:25I only asked! < SHUT UP AND PUT YOUR HAT ON!
0:29:25 > 0:29:30I'm sorry, soldier, I was only tryin' to tell you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37How's the boy doing?
0:29:37 > 0:29:44He's doing fine, but he's an officer and a gentleman and that's no job for a gentleman!
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Well, then... Come on!
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Would the Lt come to the stables? But these men...they're rough!
0:29:57 > 0:30:00The sergeants can take over, sir.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Very well. Sergeants, continue!
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Now,
0:30:06 > 0:30:12you need to LOOK like a soldier, and that means you have to STAND like a soldier!
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Suck in that belly! Pull those feet out! Get that chin up!
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Wait a minute, Daniel, darling.
0:30:24 > 0:30:31I'M GONNA MAKE THIS SQUAD THE FINEST BODY OF MEN IN THE AMERICAN ARMY!!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42GET BACK IN LINE, THERE!
0:30:42 > 0:30:45HEAD AND EYES TO THE FRONT!
0:30:45 > 0:30:51HEELS TOGETHER, TOES APART... AT APPROXIMATELY A 45-DEGREE ANGLE.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RAGGED LINE! LOOK AT IT!
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Now, is there any man here from Tipperary?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Is there any man here from Cork?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Any man here from County Sligo?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Sir!
0:31:24 > 0:31:30Now, this is not favouritism, but you're now an acting Corporal.
0:31:30 > 0:31:39Now, Sgt Shattuck will take you in the Manual of Arms. That is by number - one, two...
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Come on, get back in line.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Get on your feet. Get in here.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56From your mother and I. He's a beauty!
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Thoroughbred... get on, ride him.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23MICKEY: Hey, Dad, he's a BEAUTY!
0:32:23 > 0:32:26He's a leaper! Go on, take him!
0:32:35 > 0:32:39# There's Sergeant John McAfferty and Corporal Donahue
0:32:39 > 0:32:43# They made us march up to the crack in gallant Company Two.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47# The drums they roll, upon my soul, For that's the way we go.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51# 40 miles a day on beans and hay in the regular army-o.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54# There's Sergeant John McAfferty and Corporal Donahue
0:32:54 > 0:32:58# They make us march up to the crack in gallant Company Two.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00# The drums they roll, upon my soul, for that's the way we go... #
0:33:02 > 0:33:07- Are those recruits, Captain? - Yes, sir...first day's drill.
0:33:07 > 0:33:14- They show promise... a good officer, that O'Rourke. - West Point training, Colonel.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Buenos noches, Colonel.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Surprise!
0:33:21 > 0:33:25What do you think of your new quarters?
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- Did you do all this yourself? - Naturally, even moved the piano(!)
0:33:30 > 0:33:35No, Mrs Collingwood and Mrs O'Rourke helped me.
0:33:35 > 0:33:42Mrs Collingwood gave us all this and Mrs Grayson gave us Great-Uncle Abraham. He was famous!
0:33:42 > 0:33:50Mrs Tompkins gave us that chair and Mrs Gates gave us the stool, but it doesn't quite match.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- And Francisco gave us Guadalupe. - How do you do?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58She's our cook!
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I'm proud of you. Someday, you'll be a proper soldier's wife.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19- Dr Wilkins wanted you to have this. It's rump-sprung but...- What?!
0:34:19 > 0:34:24..but very comfortable. And I helped with the dinner.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19I'm sorry...I forgot to tell you. It does that sometimes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26KNOCKING >
0:35:29 > 0:35:34I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, but Fort Grant is flashing an alarm.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- Have any of our patrols reported, Mr Gates?- No, sir.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- Keep the wires open. I'll return to headquarters immediately.- Sir.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51- My cap and gloves... what's your name?- Guadalupe.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- But, Dad...dinner! - Don't wait for me, I may be hours.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- There'll be other dinners, Phil. - Yes, Dad.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Pobrecita, Senorita!
0:36:24 > 0:36:30It's all right, Guadalupe, we'll cook other dinners together.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40KNOCKING >
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Phil! ALL: Good evening.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Oh, you're having a party! I'm SO sorry!
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Come in. It's just a welcome for Lt O'Rourke.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Your servant, ma'am.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01She couldn't have timed it better!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03 No, indeed!
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Who shall get this prize? The host!
0:37:07 > 0:37:12I don't trust you(!) No, she shall sit next to Captain York.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Lt O'Rourke can look at you!
0:37:16 > 0:37:21- That's not fair!- Why? - Because YOU have to look at HIM!
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Wine?- No, thanks. - Good girl.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Were you born there?- No, Pomfret. I was named after my mother.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35- Was she...?- No, Pawtucket. She was named after my grandmother.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Then she...- No, Provincetown!
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Let's talk about horses. Do you ride, Pawtucket...Phil?
0:37:44 > 0:37:50- Yes.- Good. We'll have to order an officer to take you riding.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Let's leave the gentlemen to their cigars, Phil.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57COLLINGWOOD: Have a cigar, Kirby.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01It's so wonderful to have you here at the post.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- Oh, I think you'll get along even without me.- Without?
0:38:06 > 0:38:14- We're just marking time. Sam has applied to West Point, as Instructor. - I didn't know. When are you going?
0:38:14 > 0:38:19Going? Going where? I'm not going to leave my own party!
0:38:20 > 0:38:25Phil meant to the Academy, Sam. < Oh, that!
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Soon, I hope! But they may REJECT me!
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Oh, Sam...Sam, they couldn't!
0:38:33 > 0:38:39- They've had my application a long time.- You know the army, Sam.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45- And I know its opinion of me! - You know OUR opinion of you, isn't that enough?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48MICKEY: You know what the men think, sir!
0:38:51 > 0:38:54 Captain, Lieutenant, my compliments.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56MUSIC PLAYS OUTSIDE
0:39:13 > 0:39:19# We-ell, then... Oh, Genevieve
0:39:19 > 0:39:22# I'd give the world
0:39:22 > 0:39:29# To live again the lonely past.
0:39:29 > 0:39:36# The rose of youth was dew in pearl'd,
0:39:36 > 0:39:44# But now it withers in the blast.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48# I see thy face in every dream,
0:39:48 > 0:39:54# My waking thoughts are all of thee.
0:39:54 > 0:40:00# Thy glance is in the starry beam
0:40:00 > 0:40:07# That falls along the summer sea.
0:40:09 > 0:40:15# Oh-h, Genevieve,
0:40:15 > 0:40:20# Sweet Genevieve,
0:40:20 > 0:40:27# The years may come, the years may go,
0:40:27 > 0:40:36# But still the hands of mem'ry weave
0:40:36 > 0:40:42# The blissful dreams
0:40:42 > 0:40:52# Of long ago. #
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Bravo, Quincannon!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Thanks, Quincannon. One before a meal.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Take him back to the guard-house.
0:41:05 > 0:41:11# There was Sgt John McAfferty and Corporal Donahue... #
0:41:11 > 0:41:18A man comes to serenade a lady and finds her husband and half the regiment there! I'm crushed.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22You only serenade when husbands are around!
0:41:22 > 0:41:30Yes, seeing what a sorry figure I cut, the husband takes pity on me and brings out the port!
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Ah, Collingwood!
0:41:31 > 0:41:34This is blackmail, but you'll...
0:41:34 > 0:41:41I know where it is! Last time I looked there were 4 bottles. I expect to find my property intact.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Insolent man! > It's here! An honourable man!
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Since this is an occasion, your glasses.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Let's drink a toast to the young people.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Miss Thursday? Mickey?
0:42:01 > 0:42:08- Then you WILL go riding with me? - Of course...if you really want me to.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20To the Colonel's lady and Mickey O'Rourke, here's luck.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23MRS COLLINGWOOD: They'll NEED it!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45ATTEN-SHUN!
0:42:48 > 0:42:54Men, today we're gonna put you on the horses...no more walking.
0:42:54 > 0:43:00And by the time we get through with you, you'll be riding like senators!
0:43:00 > 0:43:05Your rough-riding sergeant will be Sgt Beaufort.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09RELAX!!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16ATTEN-SHUN!
0:43:16 > 0:43:20Gentlemen, this is a horse.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25You will observe that it has no saddle.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29It's easier for you to stay on without one.
0:43:29 > 0:43:36Did any of you serve with the Southern Army in the war? Yes, sir!
0:43:36 > 0:43:40I served proudly with Bedford Forrest!
0:43:40 > 0:43:42I am proud to shake your hand!
0:43:42 > 0:43:46Perhaps you'll buy me a drink? An honour.
0:43:46 > 0:43:51- You're an acting Corporal. - But...- Please, Sgt Mulcahy!
0:43:51 > 0:43:57And now, gentlemen, this gallant member of the greatest cavalry that ever lived...
0:43:57 > 0:44:01will show you Yankees how to ride!
0:44:07 > 0:44:10YAHOO! YAY YAY!
0:44:10 > 0:44:13ATTEN-SHUN!
0:44:13 > 0:44:18See how easy it is? Gentlemen, to your horses! Who will be first?
0:44:27 > 0:44:30Come on, get up again!
0:44:30 > 0:44:34SERGEANTS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:44:36 > 0:44:38If you fall off, get on again!
0:44:38 > 0:44:45It's a custom in the army, that if you fall off, you mount again like a gentleman!
0:44:50 > 0:44:53GET ON!
0:44:57 > 0:45:02Come on! Get back on that horse again!
0:45:02 > 0:45:07WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?! GET BACK HERE WITH THAT HORSE!
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Heels close together! Get with it!
0:45:31 > 0:45:34STAY ON THAT HORSE, WILL YA?!
0:45:48 > 0:45:53I beg to report I lost my Yankee cap!
0:45:53 > 0:45:58Thank you, sir! Thank YOU, sir!
0:46:10 > 0:46:17- Isn't this wonderful?! What's that over there? - Blue Mesa.
0:46:17 > 0:46:22- Can we go there?- It's not as close as it looks, Miss Thursday.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27- Are you anxious to return? - Oh, no, Miss Thursday!
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Don't you like the name Phil, Michael?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Of course I do, Phil.
0:46:57 > 0:47:04- That's where the telegraph line is. That's our main headache around here. - You mean where the smoke is?
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Smoke?!
0:47:08 > 0:47:13- Is it an Indian signal? - No...it's not an Indian signal!
0:47:17 > 0:47:21The line went dead in the middle of the last word.
0:47:21 > 0:47:27Meacham reports Diablo's band decamped, last seen heading s-o-u-t...
0:47:27 > 0:47:30South, or southeast, or southwest!
0:47:30 > 0:47:36- Which means they may cross 10 or 200 miles away! - I'm AWARE of that, Captain!
0:47:36 > 0:47:40- Think they're trying to join Cochise?- Yes, sir.
0:47:40 > 0:47:47- Are these the three main passes to Mexico?- They are the ones the Apache use most.
0:47:47 > 0:47:55- York, you and Mr O'Rourke take a troop and patrol... - Mr O'Rourke is not on the post, sir.
0:47:55 > 0:48:00- Why not?- He's riding, sir, with your daughter.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- How long ago? - Three hours past, sir.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07- Are you sure?- Positive, sir. - Blasted fool!
0:48:07 > 0:48:15- Doesn't your son know this country is not safe?!- Your daughter is is safe with him!
0:48:15 > 0:48:17SAFE, with Apaches on the warpath?!
0:48:20 > 0:48:23PHIL, GET BACK!
0:49:21 > 0:49:26Collingwood, take out a patrol! York, pass the word to A and B.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30Full field equipment and rations!
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Colonel Thursday!
0:49:53 > 0:50:00Repair wagon, sir, burned. Two troopers, Barry and Williams, dead, roasted.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05My daughter saw all THAT?
0:50:05 > 0:50:09- Yes, sir. - I'll take your report inside!
0:50:11 > 0:50:16- Are you all right, Phil? - Yes, Dad, I'm all right.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Take her inside, will you?
0:50:38 > 0:50:41MICKEY: They must've jumped them at sundown.
0:50:41 > 0:50:4625 or 30 Mescalero Apaches. I found this.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Blood.
0:50:52 > 0:50:58- Apaches carry off their dead. - Mescaleros all right. Diablo's band.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02- The trail led south? - It headed that way, but...
0:51:02 > 0:51:04You didn't follow it to find out?
0:51:04 > 0:51:08No, sir. I couldn't take that risk with...Miss Thursday.
0:51:08 > 0:51:14Your caution, Mr O'Rourke is commendable, but a bit belated.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18My compliments on your report.
0:51:18 > 0:51:23It speaks a knowledge of the Indian which was NOT learnt at the Academy.
0:51:26 > 0:51:34But I call it to your attention that in taking my daughter riding without bespeaking my permission,
0:51:34 > 0:51:41you have behaved more like an uncivilised Indian than an officer and a gentleman.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45If I have not made myself clear enough, Mister,
0:51:45 > 0:51:50I will add this - You will NOT again ride with my daughter...
0:51:50 > 0:51:58and for reasons which I feel it unnecessary to go into, you will avoid her company in the future.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- But...- I speak to you, not only as your CO,
0:52:02 > 0:52:04but as Philadelphia's father.
0:52:04 > 0:52:11I am within a father's rights, Captain. My daughter's life is precious to me!
0:52:11 > 0:52:16- And to me, sir.- Then you will all the more readily bow to my wishes.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18(Yes, sir.)
0:52:19 > 0:52:25Now, Mister... you say the break was here?
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Yes, sir.
0:52:29 > 0:52:35Captain York, send a detail to repair the wire and bring back the bodies.
0:52:35 > 0:52:41- Sgt Major, assemble a platoon... - I said a DETAIL - an officer and 4 men!
0:52:41 > 0:52:45- But...- I am NOT running a debating society!
0:52:45 > 0:52:52- A detail. I will command... - Mr O'ROURKE will command! - 60 rounds per man...
0:52:52 > 0:52:56- That's a lot of ammunition. 30 will be ample!- 30 will be ample.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01And 18 per pistol. You'll call for volunteers.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Colonel's permission to volunteer?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Permission refused. Carry on!
0:53:07 > 0:53:11You will leave in the quarter-hour, Mr O'Rourke.
0:53:14 > 0:53:20Michael! You know what's expected of you? Sure, Dad, I know.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Go get Quincannon out of the guard-house!
0:53:24 > 0:53:31Get Mulcahy, Shattuck and Johnny Reb. Tell them they're volunteering for an extra hazardous duty!
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Say the regiment is proud of them!
0:53:37 > 0:53:41You spoke of a platoon from A Troop.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45I suggest you assemble it.
0:53:45 > 0:53:52- We leave in 30 minutes. I will command, you will accompany. - We're gonna trail the wagon?
0:53:52 > 0:53:54At a striking distance.
0:53:54 > 0:54:01Collingwood, remember the paper that Capt Robert E Lee wrote when he was at the Point?
0:54:01 > 0:54:05The one on the trap as a military weapon?
0:54:05 > 0:54:12I do not share the popular view of Captain Lee's ability as tactician,
0:54:12 > 0:54:15but that paper impressed me.
0:54:15 > 0:54:22In particular, the manoeuvre Genghis Khan employed in the Battle of Kinsha in 1221. You recall?
0:54:22 > 0:54:30- Assemble the men, Captain.- Yes, sir. - No debate this time? - No debate, sir, and no questions!
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Troop is ready, sir.
0:54:49 > 0:54:56You're not properly uniformed, Captain. Nor are your men. They look like scratch farmers!
0:54:56 > 0:55:00Hats should be creased and galluses covered.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Yes, sir.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23By the column of twos, Captain.
0:55:24 > 0:55:29By twos, by the right flank... FOLLOW!
0:55:29 > 0:55:33BUGLE SOUNDS
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Woman, go on about your business.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19Get busy with the wire, Sergeant.
0:56:19 > 0:56:24All right, men, get out the blankets and work quickly!
0:56:24 > 0:56:30Barry and Williams! Many a pint I had with them!
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- WHY, YOU... - SERGEANT! >
0:56:56 > 0:56:57GUNSHOT
0:56:59 > 0:57:03Johnny Reb, drop it! Let's get out...FAST!
0:57:38 > 0:57:40GUNSHOT
0:59:16 > 0:59:20BUGLE SOUNDS
1:00:18 > 1:00:22Bugler, raise those colours to full staff.
1:00:35 > 1:00:36Meacham!
1:00:36 > 1:00:41- The place looks deserted! - He's here all right!
1:00:41 > 1:00:44With the Colonel's permission?
1:00:49 > 1:00:52The door is open, sir!
1:00:56 > 1:01:01- Open the shutters and get the stench out of here!- Meacham!
1:01:03 > 1:01:04MEACHAM!
1:01:08 > 1:01:13- Well, Mr York... - Let's go, Meacham!
1:01:21 > 1:01:27- Another exile in our wilderness! - Colonel Thursday, our new CO.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30- Your servant, Mr Thursd... - COLONEL Thursday!
1:01:30 > 1:01:33I pay no attention to titles.
1:01:33 > 1:01:40I don't believe in titles. We're all His children, even the savages entrusted to my care.
1:01:40 > 1:01:43- I feed 'em... - Rot-gut whisky!
1:01:43 > 1:01:45I have a licence!
1:01:45 > 1:01:53Spirits have their medicinal uses. This is an unhealthy climate. Would the Colonel like a drink?
1:01:53 > 1:01:54Your health!
1:01:54 > 1:01:59Mr Meacham, some Indians have left the reservation...
1:01:59 > 1:02:03Yes, Diablo and 30 others. Ungrateful dogs!
1:02:03 > 1:02:08- I treat them well. I have goods for them to buy...- Shoddy trash!
1:02:08 > 1:02:16No! Mister...COLONEL Thursday, you know how children are... they like their bright toys!
1:02:17 > 1:02:24- Winchester 7-shot repeaters AREN'T TOYS!- Captain,- I- am questioning Mr Meacham.- YES, sir!
1:02:27 > 1:02:30KNOCKS BOX
1:02:30 > 1:02:32Right, sir!
1:02:32 > 1:02:39There's no reason, to your knowledge, why a band of Apaches should go on the warpath?
1:02:39 > 1:02:46- Not the warpath...misguided, maybe... - But two of my troopers are dead - tortured to death.
1:02:46 > 1:02:53- How can you be sure they were my Apaches?- We've taken Diablo and his band. They'll be here soon.
1:02:53 > 1:02:59Assign a troop to keep them here! I've told Mr York THAT all along!
1:02:59 > 1:03:04How can I be responsible for all these savages?
1:03:04 > 1:03:12Two of your men have been killed. Men serving their country as I am. If high-handed Mr York...
1:03:12 > 1:03:15- You MEALY-MOUTHED...- Captain York!
1:03:15 > 1:03:20Mr Meacham is a government representative! Respect that!
1:03:20 > 1:03:23- May- I- say something, sir?- What?
1:03:23 > 1:03:29No troop will keep the Apaches here unless they want to stay here!
1:03:29 > 1:03:36Five years ago we made a treaty with Cochise. The Apache clans came to live on the reservation.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39They lived here in peace for two years.
1:03:39 > 1:03:46- Then Meacham was sent by the Indian Ring...- Lies!- ..the most corrupt political group in history!
1:03:46 > 1:03:54It began - whisky but no beef, trinkets but no blankets. They turned into drunken animals!
1:03:54 > 1:04:00So Cochise did what any decent man could, he left and took his people into Mexico.
1:04:00 > 1:04:06- He broke his treaty! - Rather than starve! - I DEMAND you enforce the law!
1:04:06 > 1:04:11Make any DEMANDS through OFFICIAL channels, Mr Meacham!
1:04:11 > 1:04:16- NEVER again use that word to me! - No offence, sir.
1:04:16 > 1:04:19- Ready, sir. > - Lead the way. Come along.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22- Where?- Your storehouse!- It's empty!
1:04:23 > 1:04:28- MEACHAM: Colonel Thursday, I protest! - Put it in writing!
1:04:28 > 1:04:34- What's in these boxes?- It's marked "Bibles", sir.- Yes...- Open them!
1:04:45 > 1:04:49- What's this scale for? - Weighing government beef rations.
1:04:49 > 1:04:53I seem to have gained 75 pounds suddenly(!)
1:05:03 > 1:05:07- Bibles, sir(!) - Sgt, pour me some scripture!
1:05:16 > 1:05:21- What's this? Brimstone and sulphur? - I'm entitled to keep it!
1:05:21 > 1:05:27- Your licence permits whisky. THIS is not whisky!- Frontier whisky.
1:05:27 > 1:05:31I've tasted most things. Sgt, are you a judge of whisky?
1:05:31 > 1:05:37- Well, sir, some say I am...and some say I'm not.- Tell me what this is.
1:05:51 > 1:05:56Well...it...it's better than no whisky at all, sir.
1:05:56 > 1:05:59Strike a match.
1:06:07 > 1:06:10Since it isn't whisky...
1:06:10 > 1:06:18..and since it seems to be a highly inflammable liquid, my only course is to DESTROY it!
1:06:18 > 1:06:20I protest! I'll write Washington! >
1:06:20 > 1:06:27- I'll have you BUSTED!- Mr Meacham, you are a stench in the nostrils of honest men!
1:06:27 > 1:06:32If I could, I'd hang you and leave your carcass for the buzzards!
1:06:32 > 1:06:38But, as you are a government representative, I pledge you my protection!
1:06:38 > 1:06:41What about these Winchesters, sir?
1:06:43 > 1:06:48Their pins are bent. Sgt Mulcahy, straighten them with this!
1:06:48 > 1:06:52You heard what he said... destroy it!
1:07:03 > 1:07:06Destroy it, he says...
1:07:10 > 1:07:15Well, boys...we've a man's work ahead of us this day!
1:07:44 > 1:07:49- Unlock the door!- Michael... - PRISONERS OUTSIDE!
1:07:57 > 1:07:59Michael...
1:08:03 > 1:08:06PRIVATE Mulcahy...
1:08:07 > 1:08:10PRIVATE Shattuck...
1:08:11 > 1:08:13PRIVATE Quincannon...
1:08:13 > 1:08:16PRIVATE Beaufort...
1:08:16 > 1:08:20I'm ASHAMED of you! You're a disgrace to the regiment!
1:08:20 > 1:08:25If there was a regulation, I'd make you take the TIPPLER'S OATH!
1:08:25 > 1:08:27Michael...
1:08:29 > 1:08:31Volunteers for the manure pile...
1:08:33 > 1:08:35< LEFT FACE!
1:08:37 > 1:08:40TAKE THEM OUT OF HERE!
1:08:40 > 1:08:44# Hip, hip, hip, hip,
1:08:44 > 1:08:50All together men... # There was Sergeant John McAfferty and... #
1:08:50 > 1:08:54THE "HIPS" CONTINUE
1:09:07 > 1:09:11If you found Cochise, would he believe you?
1:09:11 > 1:09:17Cochise knows I've never lied to him. If you assure him decent treatment...
1:09:17 > 1:09:21I confess, he interests me.
1:09:21 > 1:09:27The Eastern newspapers... I didn't realise Cochise was so well known.
1:09:27 > 1:09:33Oh, he's well known! He's laughed at every troop these 3 years.
1:09:33 > 1:09:41Six campaigns...he's out-generaled, out-fought and out-run us!
1:09:41 > 1:09:49That's just the point, sir. An army won't make Cochise come back, but a man he trusts might persuade him.
1:09:49 > 1:09:53A carbine on the spine persuades, too!
1:09:53 > 1:09:59I'll go in unarmed, sir. I can't fight my way in. I either walk in, or...
1:10:01 > 1:10:05The man who brought Cochise back...
1:10:05 > 1:10:12- I'm for it! How many men will you need?- Just Sgt Beaufort... - PRIVATE Beaufort!
1:10:12 > 1:10:16He speaks Spanish, so does Cochise.
1:10:16 > 1:10:21- Shouldn't you take another officer? - Sgt Beaufort...- Private Beaufort!
1:10:21 > 1:10:26..he was a major in the Confederate army - an aide to Jeb Stuart.
1:10:26 > 1:10:32- Mm...I remember CADET Stuart! - (Quite.)
1:10:34 > 1:10:38- You say something? - I said "quite", sir.
1:10:38 > 1:10:43- I will proceed at once if you have no questions.- Er...what?- Questions?
1:10:43 > 1:10:48No, no questions. Proceed, Captain, and take your ex-rebel. That is all.
1:10:51 > 1:10:58- Ready, Sgt Beaufort?- Yes, sir! Anything is better than shovelling.. - That's what I thought! Let's go.
1:10:58 > 1:11:02Private Mulcahy... my compliments, sir!
1:11:06 > 1:11:10Officer's pet! Officer's pet, that's what he is!
1:12:21 > 1:12:24- How's your hang-over? - Espantosa!
1:12:24 > 1:12:29- Here.- Sir, you're the nicest Yankee I've ever known!
1:12:31 > 1:12:33Por la tierra de mi madre.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41Well...
1:12:41 > 1:12:43let's go!
1:13:13 > 1:13:17KNOCKING > Quincannon, wait till pay-day!
1:13:23 > 1:13:30Having dinner? Well, yes, I will have a cup of tea...and if you urge me, I may even take some pie!
1:13:30 > 1:13:35Good evening, Lieutenant. I haven't seen much of you lately.
1:13:35 > 1:13:43- Phil...Miss Thursday, I... - I had hoped you might call. You did leave your card, didn't you?
1:13:43 > 1:13:49- And isn't it proper for an officer to call after leaving his card? - It would be...
1:13:49 > 1:13:51The Colonel forbids it.
1:13:51 > 1:13:58Well, if a young man hasn't enough gumption to address a young woman...
1:13:58 > 1:14:03even if her father IS a Colonel, then I don't think he's as brave as I think!
1:14:03 > 1:14:06- Do you, Mrs O'Rourke?- No, I don't!
1:14:06 > 1:14:13- Ma'am, your father is Michael's Commanding Officer and must be obeyed! You'd best go.- Michael!
1:14:13 > 1:14:19Sit down, dear. You, sit too! And YOU...have you nothing to say?
1:14:19 > 1:14:22Or have ALL your manners gone?
1:14:22 > 1:14:28I'd say a lot IF I could get a word in! MISS...Miss Thursday...
1:14:28 > 1:14:35if I thought it mattered to you if I spoke to you or not...but I didn't believe you felt the same way.
1:14:35 > 1:14:38What way was that, Lieutenant?
1:14:38 > 1:14:41Well...I...
1:14:44 > 1:14:48Miss Thursday, if you'll just step outside...
1:14:53 > 1:14:57Senorita, su papa el coronel ahi viene muy enojado!
1:14:57 > 1:15:02The Colonel, he come! He VERY angry!
1:15:02 > 1:15:05He know she here!
1:15:11 > 1:15:14Phil, I'm here to bring you home.
1:15:14 > 1:15:19- I'm not ready to leave, Father. - Won't you stay, Colonel?
1:15:19 > 1:15:24Another time, perhaps. At least allow me to...
1:15:24 > 1:15:29take your hat. I beg your pardon. Come, Phil.
1:15:29 > 1:15:32- Colonel... - I want no words with you just now!
1:15:32 > 1:15:37- But...- Get out of here before I say something I'll regret!
1:15:37 > 1:15:44This is MY home! And in my home, I say who is to get out and who to stay!
1:15:44 > 1:15:50I remind the Colonel, that his presence is contrary to regulations!
1:15:50 > 1:15:56Dad, please...Col Thursday, I'm trying to say that I love your daughter.
1:15:56 > 1:16:01- I ask her, in your presence, to be my wife.- Yes, Michael!
1:16:02 > 1:16:07I see... Philadelphia, I ask you to reconsider.
1:16:07 > 1:16:15- No, Father.- I tell you that this is not a suitable marriage for you. - I can't believe that.- Sgt-Major...
1:16:15 > 1:16:22as a non-commissioned officer you are aware of the barrier between our classes?
1:16:22 > 1:16:26- < I am, sir. - It doesn't make any difference!
1:16:26 > 1:16:34- It makes a difference in the army, as the Sgt-Major and his son know. - The army is not the whole world!
1:16:34 > 1:16:40No, but it's YOUR world and it's mine! I'm not young...
1:16:40 > 1:16:45- < ..I'll put in for retirement. - That won't be necessary.
1:16:45 > 1:16:49Nor need YOU give up your profession.
1:16:49 > 1:16:53- My daughter is not of legal age. - I will be in TWO years!
1:16:53 > 1:16:58Sgt-Major, I beg your pardon for coming here without invitation.
1:16:58 > 1:17:04- Mr O'Rourke, your pardon for my words.- I'm not a child and I LOVE Michael!
1:17:04 > 1:17:11I will arrange at once for your return to the East. You'll have two years to forget each other.
1:17:13 > 1:17:20Mrs O'Rourke.... my respects, ma'am.
1:18:32 > 1:18:35- Ready?- Ready.
1:19:56 > 1:19:59Buenas tardes, illustre jefe.

3:00:07 > 3:00:12Krausmeyer, one sour note and you'll be back shoeing horses!
3:00:26 > 3:00:32Now you've got your stripes back, I expect you to set a good example for the men!
3:00:32 > 3:00:37Don't worry, Michael darling, we'll be good! Where's the punch?
3:00:37 > 3:00:40- MULCAHY...- Michael!
3:00:40 > 3:00:45- You will NOT spike the refreshments this year!- One bottle?- No...- Michael.
3:00:45 > 3:00:48Ah...go on, the whole of yous!

3:01:10 > 3:01:17The non-commissioned officers' dance is the NICEST dance! Don't you think so, Mrs O'Rourke?
3:01:17 > 3:01:22- Well...I... - Sgt-Major, will you claim me for a dance?
3:01:22 > 3:01:26With pleasure. By the way... There, sir.
3:01:37 > 3:01:39Thank you, Krausmeyer.
3:01:39 > 3:01:48Again on behalf of the officers of Fort Apache, I wish to thank the NCOs for this grand party!
3:01:49 > 3:01:53The food is exquisite and the punch...WOW!
3:01:53 > 3:01:56Good evening, Krausmeyer.
3:01:56 > 3:01:59And so, as is customary,
3:01:59 > 3:02:05'the CO, Colonel Thursday, will lead out our Sgt-Major's wife, Mrs O'Rourke.'
3:02:28 > 3:02:33With permission... Mrs O'Rourke, may I have the honour?
3:02:33 > 3:02:37It will be a pleasure, Colonel Thursday.
3:02:42 > 3:02:49And now, Sgt-Major O'Rourke will lead out the Colonel's lady, in this case his daughter...

3:07:07 > 3:07:11- No. The regiment moves out at dawn. - The regiment?
3:07:11 > 3:07:16Cochise says he'll meet with you, me and...Meacham.
3:07:16 > 3:07:21We'll go unarmed. I arranged a rendezvous near the Dragoons.
3:07:21 > 3:07:27Sgt-Major, stop the dance. Prepare the troops to move at dawn.
3:07:27 > 3:07:33- Troop commanders meet at headquarters.- Sir, Cochise will think I've tricked him!
3:07:33 > 3:07:38We HAVE tricked him on to US soil and I intend he STAYS here!
3:07:38 > 3:07:44Sir, I gave my word to Cochise! No man will make a liar of me!
3:07:44 > 3:07:49Your WORD to a savage! To an uncivilised treaty-breaker!
3:07:49 > 3:07:55- There is no question of honour between an officer and Cochise! - There IS to me!
3:07:55 > 3:08:01Captain, you may have commanded your own regiment in the late war,
3:08:01 > 3:08:06but SO long as you command a troop in MINE, you will obey me!
3:08:06 > 3:08:10You have your instructions, Sgt-Major.

3:10:46 > 3:10:51FOURS LEFT...HO!
3:11:18 > 3:11:23# I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill And o'er the moor and valley.
3:11:23 > 3:11:27# Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill, Since parting with my Sally.
3:11:27 > 3:11:31# I seek no more the fine and gay, For each does but remind me
3:11:31 > 3:11:35# How swift the hours did pass away With the girl I left behind me... #
3:11:46 > 3:11:51# I seek no more the fine and gay, For each does but remind me
3:11:51 > 3:11:56# How swift the hours did pass away With the girl I left behind me. #

3:14:50 > 3:14:57Very good. Bugler, my compliments to Captain York. Have him report to me.
3:15:11 > 3:15:17- Yes?- Is that where you were to meet Cochise, Captain? - Just about.
3:15:17 > 3:15:24- My officers will address me as "sir"!- Yes, sir. Is that all, sir?- No, it's not.
3:15:24 > 3:15:31- I propose to send two troops north, one east. We will converge on the encampment.- I wouldn't, sir.
3:15:31 > 3:15:34I am NOT asking advice, Captain!
3:15:34 > 3:15:39The Apache are neither north, east, or in the encampment, sir!
3:15:39 > 3:15:45If you'd watched the dust swirls to the south, you'd see they were there!
3:16:08 > 3:16:15That's Alkesay. They outnumber us four to one. Do we talk or fight?
3:16:15 > 3:16:19You seem easily impressed by numbers, Captain.
3:16:24 > 3:16:31However, I'll honour your word to Cochise. Tell him we've come to talk.
3:17:37 > 3:17:40- Buenas tardes.- Buenas tardes.
3:17:40 > 3:17:48- Gentlemen, I have the honour to present the chief of the Apaches, Cochise.- Get on with it, Captain!
3:17:48 > 3:17:51Take over, Beaufort.

3:17:58 > 3:18:02El Capitan Collingwood... el Capitan York...
3:18:02 > 3:18:05y el Senor Meacham.
3:18:05 > 3:18:11This is Alkesay, head of the White Mountain Apaches,
3:18:11 > 3:18:14Satanta of the Mescaleros...
3:18:14 > 3:18:19and the Chiricahua medicine man, named, in Spanish, Geronimo.
3:18:19 > 3:18:24- Get on with it, Beaufort. - El Coronel incita hablar.
3:18:24 > 3:18:29Los Apaches son una gran raza,
3:18:29 > 3:18:34orgullosos, no hemos nacido para ser esclavizados.
3:18:34 > 3:18:40- Su nacion nos hizo la guerra y no nos derroto.- What did he say?

3:19:10 > 3:19:14Un hombre nalvado que no dice la verdad.
3:19:14 > 3:19:19Y que ha sembro la enfermedad y el bicho en toda mi nacion!
3:19:19 > 3:19:27A free translation is that Meacham's a yellow-bellied polecat of dubious antecedents and progeny!
3:19:27 > 3:19:33- Cochise's words, of course, sir, not mine(!)- Matter of opinion!
3:19:36 > 3:19:39- Es peor que la guerra. - He's worse than war!
3:19:39 > 3:19:46- No mata solo al hombre, tambien a las mujeres a los ninos!- He kills women and children as well as men!

3:20:28 > 3:20:32- moriran diez hombres blancos. - ..10 white men die!
3:20:32 > 3:20:37- Threats?!- Don't interrupt, sir. - I WON'T be THREATENED!
3:20:37 > 3:20:42Beaufort, you say EXACTLY what I tell you, do you hear me?!
3:20:42 > 3:20:47- They are recalcitrant swine! - He's only speaking the truth, sir.
3:20:47 > 3:20:53- Will ANYONE take an order?! - What should I say? - Say I find him without honour!
3:20:53 > 3:20:57- He is speaking to the US Government. - BEAUFORT TRANSLATES
3:20:57 > 3:21:01We order them to return to the reservation!
3:21:01 > 3:21:06- If they've not started by dawn we will attack!- HE TRANSLATES
3:22:15 > 3:22:19Bugler...sound forward.

3:23:41 > 3:23:47- I don't see them...not a one. - Well, they're down there, sir, among the rocks.
3:23:50 > 3:23:55- Have you seen them, Captain? - I don't have to. I know.- How?
3:23:55 > 3:24:01- Because if I were Cochise, that's where I'd be. - And that dust cloud?
3:24:01 > 3:24:06An Apache trick, squaws and children dragging mesquite.
3:24:07 > 3:24:15Very ingenious. You make me think your Cochise has studied under Alexander or Bonaparte(!)
3:24:15 > 3:24:19Gentlemen, we charge in column of fours.
3:24:19 > 3:24:22- Mounted in FOURS? That's SUICIDE! - YORK!
3:24:22 > 3:24:30Captain York, you are relieved of command of your troop! There is no room here for a COWARD!
3:24:31 > 3:24:35At your service, SIR!
3:24:35 > 3:24:39Bugler, pick up Captain York's gauntlet.
3:24:53 > 3:25:00I'm no duellist, Captain. I will decide whether to answer you with pistols
3:25:00 > 3:25:04or a court martial! You remain on the ridge, in safety!
3:25:04 > 3:25:08Take O'Rourke with you.
3:25:14 > 3:25:20Gentlemen, you have your orders. Are there any OTHER questions?
3:25:23 > 3:25:26Captain Collingwood?
3:25:26 > 3:25:28No questions, Owen.
3:25:30 > 3:25:32Gentlemen, join your troops!
3:25:43 > 3:25:47A charge - mounted in fours!
3:25:47 > 3:25:52- The mad man!- I'm to stay with the wagon-train...and take O'Rourke with me!
3:25:52 > 3:26:00- You'll find Lt O'Rourke with his troops, sir... and thank ye!- Good luck.
3:26:02 > 3:26:04- Good luck, men! - Thank you, sir!
3:26:09 > 3:26:15- Lt O'Rourke, follow me! - But the troops...- Mulcahy, take over.
3:26:15 > 3:26:19Get out of here, you scut, or I'll belt the pants off you!
3:26:19 > 3:26:23- CHEERS - As you were, men!
3:26:27 > 3:26:30- GOOD LUCK! - LOUD CHEERS
3:26:32 > 3:26:36WHEEL THE WAGONS! GET THEM ON THE RIDGE!
3:26:56 > 3:26:59WATCH THOSE HORSES!
3:27:02 > 3:27:06BREAK OUT THE PICKS AND SHOVELS!
3:27:10 > 3:27:13GET THEM UNHOOKED!
3:27:13 > 3:27:17BUGLE SOUNDS
3:28:14 > 3:28:16GUNSHOT
3:28:23 > 3:28:24GUNSHOT
3:29:18 > 3:29:19GUNSHOT
3:29:25 > 3:29:28VOLLEY OF SHOTS
3:29:33 > 3:29:36GUNFIRE CONTINUES
3:31:10 > 3:31:12Carry on, boy.
3:31:30 > 3:31:33All right, get them over!
3:31:53 > 3:31:55MICKEY!
3:31:58 > 3:32:05Get to Fort Grant. Tell them where we are. Tell them to hurry! Move!
3:32:05 > 3:32:09AND MARRY THAT GIRL!
3:32:11 > 3:32:14FIERCE GUNFIRE CONTINUES
3:32:26 > 3:32:28Trooper...
3:32:33 > 3:32:35Trooper...
3:32:41 > 3:32:47Stand by your guns, men. Flaherty, you're in charge. I'll be back!
3:33:09 > 3:33:14We've dug in on the ridge, sir. Plenty of water and ammunition.
3:33:14 > 3:33:20I've sent a courier to Fort Grant. If we can only hold out... get on my horse.
3:33:30 > 3:33:34- I'll trouble you for your sabre, Captain.- My sabre?
3:33:34 > 3:33:41- I must rejoin my command. - The command is wiped out, sir, and we can do nothing about it.
3:33:41 > 3:33:49I'm not asking your opinion! When you command this regiment, command it! Your sabre, sir!
3:33:50 > 3:33:54Any questions, Captain?
3:34:03 > 3:34:06No questions.
3:34:06 > 3:34:10BATTLE CONTINUES
3:34:38 > 3:34:43- This time YOU were late, Owen. - You have my apologies.
3:34:53 > 3:34:59Sergeant-Major O'Rourke, my apologies, sir!
3:34:59 > 3:35:03Save them, sir, for our grandchildren!
3:35:03 > 3:35:06SHOOTING HAS STOPPED
3:35:12 > 3:35:15DISTANT SOUND OF HORSES HOOVES
3:35:23 > 3:35:25GALLOPING GETS LOUDER
3:35:25 > 3:35:28INDIAN WAR CRIES
3:36:01 > 3:36:05SILENCE
3:36:05 > 3:36:10DRUMMING HOOVES APPROACH
3:36:16 > 3:36:19Hold your fire, men.
3:36:19 > 3:36:22(Hold your fire.)
3:37:15 > 3:37:19DRUMMING HOOVES BECOME MORE DISTANT
3:37:35 > 3:37:39BUGLE PLAYS THE LAST POST
3:37:44 > 3:37:49However, gentlemen, I warn you, this may be a long campaign.
3:37:49 > 3:37:52Weeks before you have any headlines.
3:37:52 > 3:37:56Testing Geronimo is our headline. And glory for you.
3:38:03 > 3:38:06He must've been a great man.
3:38:08 > 3:38:10And a great soldier.
3:38:14 > 3:38:17No man died more gallantly...
3:38:18 > 3:38:23- ..nor won more honour. - Are you familiar with the painting "Thursday's Charge"?
3:38:23 > 3:38:25Yes, I am.
3:38:25 > 3:38:31It's magnificent. Massed columns of Apaches in warpaint and feathers...
3:38:31 > 3:38:35- and Thursday leading that heroic charge!- Correct in every detail.
3:38:35 > 3:38:39He's the hero of every schoolboy in America!
3:38:39 > 3:38:43- But what of the others? Collingworth...- Collingwood!
3:38:43 > 3:38:46Oh, of course...Collingwood.
3:38:46 > 3:38:55- Ironic, we remember the Thursdays but forget the others.- Wrong, they aren't forgotten, because they live.
3:38:55 > 3:39:00Collingwood and the rest are living, right out there.
3:39:00 > 3:39:04They live while the regiment lives.
3:39:04 > 3:39:08Pay is 13 a month. Diet is beans and hay.
3:39:08 > 3:39:12Maybe horsemeat before this campaign is over.
3:39:12 > 3:39:17They'll fight over cards, but share the last drop in their canteens!
3:39:17 > 3:39:22The faces may change and the names, but they are there.
3:39:22 > 3:39:29They are the regiment and the regular army, now and 50 years from now!
3:39:29 > 3:39:37They are better men than they used to be. Thursday did that. He made it a command to be proud of.
3:39:37 > 3:39:41- Command is formed, sir! - Thank you, Sgt-Major.
3:39:41 > 3:39:46- Now, it's time to move. Questions, gentlemen?- No, thank you.
3:39:46 > 3:39:50Gentlemen, this is my Adjutant...
3:39:50 > 3:39:54Lt O'Rourke, who will take care of you.
3:39:54 > 3:39:59Mrs O'Rourke, General Thursday's daughter, and THE Mrs O'Rourke!
3:39:59 > 3:40:06And this is Michael Thursday York O'Rourke, the best man here! Aren't you, you scut?!
3:40:33 > 3:40:36FORWARD HO!
3:40:47 > 3:40:51# I'm lonesome since I crossed the hill And o'er the moor and valley,
3:40:51 > 3:40:55# Such heavy thoughts my heart do fill Since parting with my Sally.
3:40:55 > 3:40:58# I seek no more the fine and gay, For each does but remind me
3:40:58 > 3:41:03# How swift the hours did pass away With the girl I left behind me. #
