[00:00:00]Heat.

[00:00:11]Heat.

[00:00:20]All right.

[00:00:45]Let him move, Yankee.

[00:01:04]Heat. Heat.

[00:01:11]Heat.

[00:01:28]Heat.

[00:01:55]Playing nursemaid to the gatling gun is not my idea of fighting a war.

[00:02:00]>> Let's not advertise what we're carrying, Sergeant.

[00:02:03]>> Sorry. Got a spare one.

[00:02:11]>> Thanks. You ought to extend your leave a few days and watch him test the gun, the arsenal.

[00:02:17]>> Waste of time.

[00:02:20]Crazy man's dream. No gun will ever shoot 200 shots a minute.

[00:02:25]>> 250.

[00:02:26]And Dr. Gantling is far from crazy.

[00:02:30]Now, I think the gun will work. Maybe change the whole pattern of future wars.

[00:02:36]This one, if the Rebs ever get their hands on it.

[00:02:45]>> All set. All set. And make it look real.

[00:02:54]All right.

[00:03:01]Thanks.

[00:03:34]Heat.

[00:03:36]Heat.

[00:03:49]I'll go back into the baggage car.

[00:04:31]Get those horses down.

[00:04:39]All right.

[00:04:52]Heat.

[00:05:17]Heat. Heat.

[00:05:22]Heat. Heat.

[00:05:56]All clear, captain. Right.

[00:06:09]Heat.

[00:06:27]Heat.

[00:06:33]Heat.

[00:06:48]Heat.

[00:06:55]Heat. Heat.

[00:07:23]Tapioca I ate till I couldn't see straight. Oh the railroad 20 cents a day. Johnny pick a tune on your banjo clacking on the way.

[00:07:39]>> That's a code song. All right.

[00:07:43]>> Give him this.

[00:07:44]>> If you please, Mr. Thompson. Thank you, Mr. Faraday. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you what we're going to do. There is no one in this fine crowd here today. I say there is no one in this great sovereign state, in fact folks, there is no one in this entire universe of ours who can face himself in the looking glass on any given morning and say I'm as chock full of health as the good Lord intended me to be. I say there's no one, but that condition isn't necessary, folks. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if I may continue to have your kind attention, I would like to introduce to you now my esteemed colleague from Boston, Massachusetts, Mr. Jim Faraday.

[00:08:25]Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Ladies and gentlemen, what is it that we all crave?

[00:08:30]Not money, not the luxuries money will buy. It is health, the physical well-being of our bodies.

[00:08:44]Tap yoga. Tapioca.

[00:08:47]All she ever learned to cook was tapio for my dinner for a supper. Tapio. I ate till I couldn't see straight. Oh, working on the railroad. 20 cents a day.

[00:09:01]Johnny pick a tune on your banjo.

[00:09:04]Listen to the wheels go clacking on the way. Tapio tapioca. Tapio. They seem to say, >> "Hello, ladies and gentlemen, step right up here. Step right up. It's Dr. Sunderland's magic muscle.

[00:09:46]He's unarmed.

[00:09:53]Well, what is it? It's female and pretty. Well, hey, let me see. Come on.

[00:09:59]Let me look. Yeah, but a Yankee. So are we for the time being.

[00:10:34]May I offer my help?

[00:10:37]>> Thank you. I I hope you can take us to Baxter Springs.

[00:10:40]>> Us?

[00:10:41]>> My patient in me.

[00:10:45]>> What's he doing over there?

[00:10:47]>> Well, he he's worried about Luca. She's his wife.

[00:10:51]He does his waring from a distance, doesn't he?

[00:10:53]>> He has to. This is the dividing line.

[00:10:56]Confederates can't do their own fighting, so they preach rebellion to the Indians. Our army had to make it a hanging offense for an Indian to cross the river.

[00:11:09]>> Suppose we stop moving your things.

[00:11:11]>> Thank you.

[00:11:27]So, you can't really call it a hospital, just one room in the entire house. But I wanted to keep things going until Dad gets home.

[00:11:33]>> Where will that be?

[00:11:34]>> When Johnny Rebel admits his name.

[00:11:37]Dad's in the army.

[00:11:40]>> You were a nurse, a good Samaritan.

[00:11:42]You've worked up a solid hate for Johnny Rev, haven't you? You know, we've been at war almost 4 years. It's enough time to learn how to hate good and hard, isn't it?

[00:11:51]>> More than enough.

[00:11:53]>> Would you like a blanket around you?

[00:11:54]We're still pretty damn >> Oh, no thanks. The air will drive me nuts.

[00:12:00]>> You uh sure I'm not taking you out of your way.

[00:12:04]>> Sort of wish you were. Then this would be a real gesture.

[00:12:08]>> It's nice of you anyway.

[00:12:12]>> It's almost a day's ride to Baxter Springs. Good.

[00:12:17]>> Staying low.

[00:12:18]>> Oh, I hope so.

[00:12:22]>> It's a pretty little town. You like it?

[00:12:24]>> I'm sure I will.

[00:12:27]>> I've been warned about traveling salesman.

[00:12:29]>> By home.

[00:12:31]>> Other traveling salesman.

[00:12:33]>> A man sees a pretty girl. He ought to tell us so.

[00:12:37]>> Do you see many in your travels? Girls, I mean, >> most of the time just Benji. He's good company, but he's not very pretty.

[00:12:53]>> Sorry.

[00:12:56]Maybe you'd like to go in the back and rest for a while. You say we've been a long trip ahead of you.

[00:12:59]>> Oh, no. I'm all right.

[00:13:02]>> I'm fine.

[00:13:03]>> We might hit another bump.

[00:13:07]We might have that.

[00:13:34]>> Tired. I'm used to it.

[00:13:36]>> We'll bring you things in.

[00:13:37]>> Thank you.

[00:13:38]>> What about the hospital wagon?

[00:13:39]>> Oh, I'll send someone for it.

[00:13:49]>> I never thought I'd live to see the day.

[00:13:51]>> What?

[00:13:52]>> You and a Yankee girl.

[00:13:53]>> Terrible. Nothing like that could start a war.

[00:13:59]>> Over there, Lor.

[00:14:06]Oh, just uh put it anywhere.

[00:14:12]>> Well, Jim, if you want to get the other things out of the wagon, I can help get this straightened around here.

[00:14:17]>> Fine.

[00:14:20]>> Where where do you want them, ma'am?

[00:14:22]>> I'll put these down where you where you want them.

[00:14:24]>> Oh, uh just put it over on the window seat, please. It was really so nice having to help you. Oh, that's >> very kind. My father.

[00:14:35]>> Oh, >> well, it sure takes all kinds, don't it?

[00:14:43]>> I beg your pardon.

[00:14:44]>> It's a funny world. Your father there, proud of his uniform. Proud. And other people like Jim Faraday never even wore one.

[00:14:55]>> You mean he never was in the army? But he he's young and well, he's certainly able-bodied.

[00:15:01]>> No, he's a fine specimen.

[00:15:03]>> Oh, it's for religious reasons.

[00:15:07]>> No, no, ma'am. He's anti-war on just straight physical grounds. He says, right? Jim says that he just don't like the idea of getting shot at, maybe even killed.

[00:15:20]>> Is that true?

[00:15:23]>> It's the way I feel, Nora.

[00:15:31]I can manage now. Thank you.

[00:15:35]You >> know, it's a funny coincidence how we're meeting both of us in the same business.

[00:15:39]You with your nursing home and us with Doc Sunderland's muscle builder.

[00:15:45]>> Yes.

[00:15:47]Funny, >> Benji.

[00:16:10]Heat. Heat.

[00:16:39]help.

[00:16:47]Now gather around folks and hear my song. It'll make you happy. It'll make you strong. If pain and misery is your lock, do Sunderland's remedies hit the spot. And if what you've got is chronic, there's nothing like his tonic.

[00:17:10]It builds you up and accuse your ills.

[00:17:15]One bottle's worth a million pills. Come in closer, ladies and gentlemen. As a big big favor to yourselves, come in real close. Before and after, if you please, Mr. Thompson.

[00:17:32]>> Yes, sir. Mr. Paradig.

[00:17:36]Tapioca.

[00:17:38]Tapioca.

[00:17:39]Tapioca I ate till I couldn't see straight. Oh, working on the railroad 20 cents a day. Johnny pick a tune on your banjo.

[00:17:49]Listen to the wheels go clacking on the way. Tapioca, tapioca, tapioca, they seem to say.

[00:18:01]And now ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you what we're going to do. There is no one in this fine crowd here today. I say there is no one in this great sovereign state, in fact folks, there is no one in this entire universe of ours, who can face himself in the looking glass on any given morning and say I'm as chocked full of health as the good Lord intended me to be. I say there's no one, but that condition isn't necessary, folks. A great writer, William Shakespeare himself once wrote, "Why let pain your pleasure spoil for want of muscle building oil?" That's what the good Doc Soland is offering you folks here today. The only inside and outside tonic known to be beneficial to man. Now you'll have to step right up.

[00:18:50]It's 75 cents a bottle. You can have as many as you want. We won't be back until next year. That's right. The lady won't shoot around the building.

[00:19:17]Guard that door.

[00:19:23]Don't shoot me.

[00:19:26]Don't make her happy, fools. I told you we wanted him alive. What do you expect us to do?

[00:19:31]>> Obey orders.

[00:19:32]>> And have you die a sudden hero? My men, too. Would that have been better?

[00:19:35]>> Yes. Killing him can cost us thousands of lives. Maybe change the course of the war.

[00:19:39]>> Our wagon's just outside. If you'd like to be taken down the street to the hospital.

[00:19:44]>> Thanks. In a minute.

[00:19:47]After the body's removed, I want this store locked up tight and kept under guard. I'll do the searching after I get back. Well, >> what are you looking for? Give me a lift, Jenkins. You didn't answer my question, Mr. Kelzo.

[00:19:57]>> No, I didn't.

[00:19:57]>> Now, I don't have to take orders from you. You know, I'm sheriff here, and this isn't federal territory.

[00:20:02]>> Let's go, Jenkins, before the sheriff decides he'll take over the federal government.

[00:20:22]Hey Doc, this stuff as good as you claim it is.

[00:20:27]Better muscle builder. Soon as the war is over, you ought to head south. The Rebs are going to need a lot of muscle building or we get through with them.

[00:20:41]But you know as well as I do the sheriff can stop us from searching the store.

[00:20:44]Not us. I'll do all the searching.

[00:20:47]>> All right. Just you then. He can't stop you.

[00:20:49]>> He can't stop a search warrant.

[00:20:52]>> Why antagonize him? Why not tell him what you're looking for?

[00:20:56]>> Sure. Tell him. Tell everybody.

[00:21:01]>> Excuse me, Lieutenant.

[00:21:10]Six bits.

[00:21:12]>> Oh, you can spare one little bottle.

[00:21:13]>> Six bits. Where's your Ain't you a patriot? I've been killing rebs for over 3 years for people like you. I said six bits.

[00:21:20]>> Oh, that's right.

[00:21:26]Whoa.

[00:21:30]Dang it. Give it a hand.

[00:21:33]>> Yes, sir.

[00:21:47]Too bad.

[00:21:50]>> So expensive.

[00:21:51]>> Look alive, Jenkins.

[00:21:52]>> Yes, sir.

[00:22:01]>> Soon as I saw the man was hurt, I suggested bringing him here.

[00:22:05]You know, throwing business your way.

[00:22:07]>> I'm not looking for business, Mr. Faraday.

[00:22:12]>> Bring any other kettle.

[00:22:18]>> Please, Miss Curtis.

[00:22:19]>> Thank you very much.

[00:22:27]>> So, this will burn just a bit.

[00:22:32]You just hold this for a minute and press down. That's it.

[00:22:36]>> I saw your father's picture in the parlor. Where is he stationed?

[00:22:39]>> Well, at the minute he he's with General Sherman heading through Georgia.

[00:22:42]>> That's where I wanted to be with Sherman or Sheridan where the action is out here. We hardly even get news of the war. Travelers bring us more information than How about you, mister? You hear any war news in your travels?

[00:22:53]>> I hardly ever listen.

[00:22:54]>> Mr. Faraday is a conscientious objector.

[00:22:57]>> Not conscientious, just objector.

[00:22:59]>> Lucky you weren't caught in the draft.

[00:23:01]Oh, I was back home in Boston.

[00:23:03]>> Boston?

[00:23:04]>> Can't you tell?

[00:23:06]>> Of course. If you were drafted, why aren't you in the army?

[00:23:10]>> Well, I am in a way. I hired a substitute for $300.

[00:23:14]Brave fellow, they tell me. I may even turn out to be a real war hero.

[00:23:19]By proxy, of course.

[00:23:39]I like to wipe them all off the face of the earth. Business before pleasure. We can't afford trouble.

[00:23:56]Well, let's see how tough fancy clothes is.

[00:24:00]One night, fancy clothes. You and me to a finish.

[00:24:05]>> Time for those yellow belly.

[00:24:07]>> That's why uniform is yellow.

[00:24:13]I'm taking generals my invitation.

[00:24:20]>> Get ready, stranger.

[00:24:25]Come on, Jingers. We're betting on you.

[00:24:28]>> I'd better stop it.

[00:24:29]>> No. Let's see if the conscientious objector turns the other cheek.

[00:24:33]>> Jenkins is the toughest barroom fighter in my outfit. He'll cut that Boston Lily to bits.

[00:24:39]>> Don't bet on it, Lieutenant.

[00:24:58]Heat.

[00:25:05]Heat.

[00:25:11]Heat.

[00:25:30]Heat.

[00:25:53]Stick him. Stick him.

[00:25:57]>> Mister, you should have finished him. Be less to worry about when it comes dark.

[00:26:00]>> Nothing like that. My men aren't sneaks.

[00:26:02]You have my word for it, sir. There'll be no further trouble. Your men are a pack of headaches. Why don't you get them out of town before they get hurt >> by you?

[00:26:10]>> Lieutenant, don't play soldier boy with me. I think I can get you another coat.

[00:26:14]>> Thanks. I have one.

[00:26:16]>> When you dress, I'll buy the drinks >> some other time. Maybe.

[00:26:30]>> Miss Curtis.

[00:26:31]>> Yes, Mr. Kelson. What do you know about uh James Faraday?

[00:26:40]>> Nothing.

[00:26:41]We met by accident a few days ago when my wagon broke down.

[00:26:44]>> From which direction was he coming?

[00:26:48]>> Well, it it might have been east or northeast.

[00:26:54]Why?

[00:26:57]>> Just curious.

[00:27:01]For a man who spends $300 to keep from fighting, he General Sheridan scores smashing victory in Northern Virginia.

[00:27:17]>> Bet the Rebs ain't running any faster than that soldier you worked over.

[00:27:39]Yes, sir. James Faraday just sent a telegram. Let's have it.

[00:27:54]It's just a regular business message, isn't it?

[00:27:58]>> Yeah. Send it. And uh send this one for me.

[00:28:03]>> Yes, sir.

[00:28:21]That's you, Jim.

[00:28:21]>> No, it's Lieutenant Braden.

[00:28:33]>> I'm sorry, gentlemen. We don't sell merchandise after sundown.

[00:28:36]>> We're not buying. We're looking. A search warrant.

[00:28:41]>> Don't get foolish, pop.

[00:28:43]Hey, what is this? We're a legitimate business. You just can't. Now, see here.

[00:28:48]It'll cost you six bits for every bottle you bust and 5 cents for every empty.

[00:28:52]That's what we had.

[00:28:53]>> I'm warning you to be careful.

[00:28:56]>> Lieutenant, let's see what's in here. Sergeant, don't touch you.

[00:29:38]That lieutenant came in like he was Christopher Columbus himself going to discover America all over again.

[00:29:47]He called me papa.

[00:29:50]Yankees never had no manner. Easy.

[00:30:01]Oh, I had a breakman for a husband. He never made enough to buy the meat. Oh, don't have a breakman for a husband or this is all you'll ever get to eat.

[00:30:14]Tapioca.

[00:30:15]Tapioca.

[00:30:17]All he ever could afford was tapioca by the popful by the car lo. But it came to an end again. Oh, take me on the railroad. Take me far away. Johnny, pick your tune on your banjo.

[00:30:33]Listen to the wheels go clacking on the way. Tapio tapio tapioca. They seem to sing.

[00:30:53]I hope you'll forgive this intrusion, but being in the same business as yourself, show business.

[00:30:58]>> But along, mister, I'm already spoken for.

[00:31:00]>> Naturally, I wouldn't presume to think that an artist like you wouldn't be surrounded by admirers.

[00:31:04]>> No more. I got myself a study now.

[00:31:07]>> I'm deeply envious of a ma'am, and I don't want to intrude. Believe me, it was the coincidence of your song that brought me backstage. What coincidence?

[00:31:14]>> My partner and I have been using that song for months in our medicine show.

[00:31:18]>> And what am I supposed to do? Cut it out or something?

[00:31:20]>> Not at all. By the way, you sing it, you're more entitled to have the song than we are.

[00:31:24]>> For a minute, I thought you wanted to make trouble.

[00:31:26]>> Quite the contrary.

[00:31:30]>> You really think I put it over?

[00:31:31]>> M.

[00:31:33]>> Maybe I should do a regular.

[00:31:34]>> Didn't you ever sing it before?

[00:31:35]>> First time. It was a request number.

[00:31:37]>> Do you uh recall who requested it?

[00:31:40]>> Of course. My steady >> Sally, ask Mr. Faraday to come in.

[00:31:46]>> Won't you come in, Mr. Faraday?

[00:31:52]>> Here's that drink we didn't have this afternoon. Sally finds herself another home.

[00:31:56]>> Don't worry, honey. I won't be in the way.

[00:32:01]>> I said find yourself another home.

[00:32:05]>> Sure, sweetie. I don't mind.

[00:32:08]I'll be in with Laura if you want me.

[00:32:11]Knock on the wall, >> Sally.

[00:32:15]>> Yes.

[00:32:16]>> Close the door.

[00:32:22]>> I'm the man you're looking for to take you through the Union lines.

[00:32:26]Here's to a no trouble trip.

[00:32:31]>> You're talking way over my head, mister.

[00:32:35]>> Are they?

[00:32:36]Let's drop the games and save time. I work for your contact man, Anderson Smith. Running horses through Indian territory for you Rebs. You need any more proof?

[00:32:47]>> I didn't say a word. I like listening.

[00:32:49]>> The longer it takes you to buy me, the easier it's going to be for Braden and that Pinkerton man to mess things up.

[00:32:55]Kelso checked on that telegram you sent.

[00:32:57]Now he's checking on you personally.

[00:32:59]>> I still like listening.

[00:33:01]>> Well, you better listen quick.

[00:33:04]Smith told me all about you. Faraday.

[00:33:07]Faraday is the name of someone from Boston that went to college with you.

[00:33:10]Simmons. That's your real name. Captain James Simmons, Georgia Volunteers. Your brother Pete got himself killed at Bull Run. Your pitchman's whole handle is Benjamin Goodman. Sergeant in your outfit. More enough to hang Benji and me three times over.

[00:33:30]Here's to that no trouble trip through the Union lines.

[00:33:39]What part of home are you from?

[00:33:45]>> The only thing you and me got in common is we both bleed if we're cut.

[00:33:50]This is a business and I'm in it for money.

[00:33:52]>> How much?

[00:33:53]>> 2,000 gold. That's the way Smith promised it. Cash on the line.

[00:33:59]>> Benji.

[00:34:05]Give him 300 in gold.

[00:34:06]>> 2,000's a price.

[00:34:08]>> 300 now. Another thousand when we're inside the Confederate lines. You can take that or nothing.

[00:34:13]>> You can't get through Indian territory without me?

[00:34:16]>> Maybe not, but we can sure make a big try.

[00:34:23]It's a deal.

[00:34:47]Number 22, flag.

[00:34:55]>> Easy come, easy go. with our money. He hasn't went ahead. Faster he goes broke, the quicker he leaves town. He's running second best. That won't be long.

[00:35:10]This is Look at him. He's got the manners of a pig.

[00:35:23]Here comes Christopher Columbus.

[00:35:26]and the sheriff.

[00:35:38]>> Gentlemen, >> what you going to sing? Sheriff, here's a song and dance.

[00:35:42]>> Gentlemen, please >> sing nice and loud.

[00:35:45]>> Wait a minute.

[00:35:46]>> I have an important announcement to make. Now, we've been asked to cooperate with the army. And from now on, any vehicle leaving Baxter to Springs will be searched by my deputies and federal troops.

[00:35:56]>> Well, poor. What you looking for?

[00:35:58]>> Well, when we find it, >> then you'll find out.

[00:36:01]>> I fixed it. We've got to move fast.

[00:36:03]Think you can handle things at the Curtis house? Leave it to me. I'll keep an eye on Manning.

[00:36:23]Miss, would you do you have something? Anything at all for stomach poisoning?

[00:36:30]>> It's very little.

[00:36:31]>> Anything at all, please. Oh, please >> come in. Oh, >> I didn't mean to turn you away.

[00:36:40]>> You're very kind.

[00:36:41]>> Well, it's just that I have to leave town very early in the morning with my patience. Oh, I understand. Never mind.

[00:36:46]I'll >> Oh, no. Nonsense. You come right in >> now. You sit right down here.

[00:36:52]>> That's it. I'll get something from the hospital room.

[00:37:15]Now we'll pop out your stomach and have you feeling better in no time.

[00:37:19]>> No. Oh, that never never helps a case like mine.

[00:37:23]>> Oh, no. There's no reason to be alarmed.

[00:37:24]Really, it's practically painless.

[00:37:25]>> Oh, I don't mind the pain, really. But a a doctor in Boston and one in New York, they tried this same thing. They didn't get any place with me. Exactly identically the same thing. They say that I have a special type stomach.

[00:37:38]>> Oh, really?

[00:37:39]>> It's the way I'm formed inside or something. Well, do you get these attacks often?

[00:37:43]>> Oh, three, maybe four times a year. Only thing that ever helps me is kimmel tea.

[00:37:48]>> Kimmel tea?

[00:37:49]>> Yeah. It's an old German special.

[00:37:51]>> Of course, it's an old remedy for stomach ache.

[00:37:52]>> Yeah.

[00:37:53]>> I have some water on the stove now. You sit quietly and I'll brew some right away.

[00:38:24]I Where's your partner?

[00:38:45]>> In the saloon.

[00:38:52]>> The water will be boiled in just a moment. You look a bit better.

[00:38:57]>> Being inside in a warm house always helps me.

[00:39:00]>> Does Mr. Faraday know you're sick?

[00:39:02]>> When Jim gambles big, he doesn't like to be bothered.

[00:39:06]>> Fine, friend.

[00:39:10]>> Jim's not so bad. He only gamles to forget his troubles.

[00:39:15]>> What kind of troubles?

[00:39:16]>> Oh, I don't know. One thing and another.

[00:39:18]I I'm not supposed to talk about it.

[00:39:21]That's it. Genuine Kimmel tea. My grandmother, may she rest in peace, used to say good kimmel teal cure anything.

[00:39:28]Here, I can show you exactly how she used to make it.

[00:39:34]>> Was he in trouble with the police back east?

[00:39:37]>> Oh, no. Except when it comes to gambling and women. Jim's pretty much law-abiding.

[00:39:44]Now, if you'll bring some cups, miss, please.

[00:40:11]Why aren't you supposed to talk about it?

[00:40:14]>> About what?

[00:40:15]>> Mr. Faraday's troubles.

[00:40:18]>> Why? I gave my sacred word to him and his I gave my word one teaspoon full for flavoring.

[00:40:27]My grandmother, may she rest in peace, used to say one teaspoon, no more, no less.

[00:40:35]>> It must be something pretty shameful if he had to be sworn to secrecy by him and his who did you say it was?

[00:40:41]>> I didn't miss. That's one of the things I promised never to talk about. You understand my position, don't you?

[00:40:47]Naturally, >> I can feel that Kimmel taking hold.

[00:40:58]Would you mind if I boil up another batch? Sometimes it takes a couple of pots for me to come back to myself.

[00:41:36]24.

[00:41:39]Get your money down. Place your bets.

[00:42:03]could use another 300.

[00:42:04]>> We have a contract, Manning. It rides that way. A thousand more when we're through.

[00:42:09]>> I'm ready to leave when you are. pretty soon now. I'll let you know.

[00:42:29]>> I know who that other person is.

[00:42:34]A girl.

[00:42:35]>> I I promised.

[00:42:40]Benjamin, who took care of you when you were sick, Mr. Faraday or me?

[00:42:48]>> You did.

[00:42:51]>> Either we are friends or we are not friends.

[00:42:56]>> We are friends.

[00:42:59]>> Then tell me it won't go outside of this room. You have my word. Your sacred word.

[00:43:11]>> My sacred word.

[00:43:13]>> You were right.

[00:43:15]>> A girl.

[00:43:17]>> Two.

[00:43:26]>> Was it in Boston >> and New York?

[00:43:35]>> Where else?

[00:43:36]Chicago >> and >> and Milwaukee. That's why Jim wants to leave Baxter Springs.

[00:43:43]>> Why?

[00:43:44]>> He says there aren't enough girls here.

[00:44:06]Hey, listen. Give me the Don't miss.

[00:44:09]Give me the gun. You No.

[00:44:37]What? What's wrong?

[00:44:43]It's all right.

[00:44:47]Just target practice.

[00:44:52]Oh, well.

[00:45:32]She asleep, unconscious. The Indian girl's putting her to bed. When is she leaving town? Very early tomorrow morning.

[00:45:40]What's this?

[00:45:43]Target practice. You know that girl shoots better than anybody in the whole Union Army, but she can't drink any better than any Yankee. Passes out on one pot of grandma's favorite tea. Let's get the boxes loaded. Nora doesn't know it, but she's taking them out for us.

[00:45:59]The hospital wagon. Why didn't I think of that? You were too busy. It was your fault. She got drunk tonight. You aggravated her by being a conscientious objective. Your reputation with women.

[00:46:12]Thanks, friend.

[00:46:22]>> This may do if they don't search too close.

[00:46:25]>> They're used to seeing this wagon come and go. Maybe we'll get by without a real close inspection. What if we don't?

[00:46:32]We shoot our way through. But if it's passed, you and Manny will pick it up this side of the river at the Ford. I'll meet you there with our wagon in 24 hours at daybreak. Where will I find Manny?

[00:46:42]Delivery stable.

[00:46:44]>> I wish we didn't have to do business with him.

[00:46:46]>> Lucky we made the contact.

[00:46:49]He can run horses through the lines. He only be able to get us through. Here, you better hold on to the bankroll. No sense trusting a bad poker player this close to cash money.

[00:46:58]>> Watch him, Benji. With Manning, you shoot first to discuss the reasons later.

[00:47:24]Yes. Yes.

[00:47:27]Breakfast, >> cuz it builds you up and accures your ills. One bottle's worth a million pills.

[00:47:42]How about I pick you up?

[00:47:44]>> How?

[00:47:46]Oh, when did you get here?

[00:47:50]>> Last night. You ready for breakfast?

[00:47:53]Coffee, bread, and honey. Just what you ordered.

[00:47:58]>> I ordered >> Oh, yes.

[00:48:02]>> Is the Benji downstairs?

[00:48:05]>> Downstairs? I know. He left last night when you told him to go, honey.

[00:48:12]>> I told him to go.

[00:48:14]>> Well, there was no sense in both of us taking care of you.

[00:48:18]>> What? Cream.

[00:48:24]Sugar.

[00:48:26]One or two?

[00:48:27]>> Two.

[00:48:31]>> Oh, don't you feel well?

[00:48:35]>> I I'll be all right. Will you please go?

[00:48:40]>> Isn't there something I can do for you?

[00:48:41]A wet towel or something?

[00:48:44]You'll call me if you change your mind.

[00:49:03]Oh, that was the night gown you wanted to wear, wasn't it?

[00:49:16]>> All right, move on.

[00:49:24]Have a good trip, Nora.

[00:49:28]>> And what do you want? It'll >> only take a minute, Nora. We got orders to search everything going out of town.

[00:49:34]>> You do much better stopping some of the riff raff from coming into town.

[00:49:38]And I won't have you messing up my things.

[00:49:40]>> Now they'll be real cheerful.

[00:49:44]>> Now you woke the baby. I'm sorry, Nora.

[00:49:48]No, never mind, boys. Miss Curtis can go on.

[00:49:51]>> Thank you.

[00:49:55]>> Get up. Get up.

[00:50:24]Heat.

[00:50:25]Heat.

[00:51:02]Whoa.

[00:51:03]What is this? What are you doing?

[00:51:09]>> Get in the back and shut up.

[00:51:12]Come on, Bo.

[00:51:13]>> Keep your hands off her.

[00:51:14]>> Yes, sir. Colonel sir, the trouble with me is I'm no southern gentleman.

[00:51:18]>> That's dead certain. We'll pull up over there by the river.

[00:51:29]Excuse me.

[00:51:40]Nobody's going to hurt you, miss.

[00:51:45]>> I'm sorry you got mixed up that day.

[00:51:46]There's nothing we could do. Jim will be here at daybreak and we'll transfer these boxes into our wagon and you'll be on your way.

[00:51:53]>> What's in those boxes?

[00:51:56]Well, it's a kind of a muscle building.

[00:52:01]>> You're the men Kelso was after.

[00:52:07]>> You're thieving spies. You and Jim Faraday >> in our country, ma'am. The Confederate States of America. They call us patriots.

[00:52:20]Nice.

[00:52:36]Now we'll need more cover than this.

[00:52:39]They're down by the river. Yes, sir.

[00:52:41]Colonel sir.

[00:53:04]You folks spend the night in the wagon cuz they're more comfortable here. I'll start supper right after I hit 15.

[00:53:11]Now look, miss, I want you to stop worrying. There's no need for it. You hear? You'll be just as safe here as you are in your own home. You got my word.

[00:53:18]>> Why not your sacred room?

[00:53:21]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:53:27]>> What are those horses? We're not stopping.

[00:53:30]>> We're meeting Jim Faraday here tomorrow morning. I got other plans.

[00:53:38]>> If you want that other thousand, you're going to have to wait for him. Jim's got the money belt.

[00:53:54]You wait for him, Colonel Sir.

[00:54:36]Keep your eyes on the trail.

[00:54:42]Now look, doctor, the only reason you're still alive is that [ __ ] comes from Yellow Hawk's village. The squall and the kid are your life insurance.

[00:54:51]>> Hey, horse, honey.

[00:54:54]>> Tell her I do my business with Yellow Hawks. She got nothing to worry about.

[00:54:57]>> The South must be real proud of you.

[00:55:00]>> Trails that way.

[00:55:10]Clean the zoo. All right. You boys mind straightening things out the way you found them? They'll tend to it. You coming back our way, Mr. Faraday? All right. He's got a good business town here.

[00:55:20]>> As good as they come and growing all the time. So, which way you head? Going to meet my partner up in Lawrence. Really see the difference. Like night and day.

[00:55:31]Lawrence is a dead town compared to ours. All finished. Okay, thank you gentlemen.

[00:55:45]>> We'll be with counsel if you need us.

[00:56:12]and Mr. Kelso in there. I got an important message for him.

[00:56:15]>> I'll give it to him. Sorry, it's uh it's confidential. Come in you.

[00:56:26]Something else came in too. Big news.

[00:56:29]Richmond and Petersburg were evacuated.

[00:56:31]General Lee's army's in full retreat.

[00:56:34]>> Well, say that's great news. Why do you know?

[00:56:38]>> Complete investigation shows James Faraday of Boston was a major in Union Army. He was killed in action at Yorktown more than 2 years ago. Suggest your man in Baxter Springs assumed this identity for purposes of his own. Let's pick up Jim Farad. Wait a minute. Farad left.

[00:56:57]>> Well, how would I know you wanted him?

[00:56:58]He never said anything. You never once took me into your confidence. Not once.

[00:57:03]>> When'd he go?

[00:57:03]>> No, four. No, five hours ago.

[00:57:07]>> He searched his wagon.

[00:57:08]>> Every inch of it. He said Lawrence was his next stop. We can catch him in a few hours.

[00:57:12]>> He isn't going to Lawrence. Lieutenant, you have anybody can track a wagon?

[00:57:16]>> I can, but not at night.

[00:57:18]>> We'll wait. I want 12 men to go with us at daybreak.

[00:57:21]>> I'll have them.

[00:57:25]Heat.

[00:57:43]Heat.

[00:57:48]Heat.

[00:58:01]Heat.

[00:58:31]Yeah.

[00:58:33]Yeah.

[00:58:38]Heat.

[00:58:54]Heat.

[00:59:01]Heat.

[00:59:12]Nothing much beside bottles. Better have one of your men take the wagon back to back to Springs.

[00:59:37]Ros.

[00:59:55]Proise Hallelujah.

[01:00:20]Next time it'll be your face.

[01:00:32]Another wagon stopped by here first and a single horse probably paradise took out after the wagon. How long ago? Can you turn?

[01:00:49]>> No, but I can follow it.

[01:01:25]Call the gatling. gun. You can tell your warriors they'll see it fire 250 bullets a minute. Fast as rain from the sky.

[01:01:42]>> I have told my men. Now let the gun speak. Let it say that you have earned the price.

[01:01:49]>> Tell them to hang on to their war bonnets.

[01:01:56]Watch those.

[01:02:18]>> Look.

[01:02:23]One of your own rifle bullets and it fits this gun.

[01:02:31]This gun will give you the strength of 10 tribes. They'll all be afraid of yellow hawk.

[01:02:35]>> Unless they too get such guns.

[01:02:37]>> Can't four of these guns in existence and this is the only one in the west.

[01:02:41]>> Pialtoh.

[01:02:50]We march against Fort Smith.

[01:02:52]>> Good hunting.

[01:02:54]>> Six more bag of gold. 4,000 of your gold dollar if you march with us.

[01:03:01]>> It's not my war. Not for just another 4,000.

[01:03:04]>> Inside Fort Smith are many times 4,000.

[01:03:07]It is yours if you join us and shoot this gun.

[01:03:09]>> How do you know it's inside Fort Smith?

[01:03:11]>> My scouts have seen it. With the fort's ammunition and this gun, many tribes will join Yellow Hawk.

[01:03:19]Ah, even with a gun, you're going to need more men than this.

[01:03:22]>> We have friends in other villages. The Oalan, Dominic, the Oage. They will come when we call.

[01:03:33]>> If I join you, it's for one attack only.

[01:03:37]>> I agree.

[01:03:40]>> And I want an escort out of the territory when it's over.

[01:03:43]>> I agree.

[01:03:45]>> It's a deal. When do we march?

[01:03:50]Sunrise heat.

[01:04:14]Smoke signal over the register.

[01:04:39]Heat. Heat.

[01:05:19]Hey, go to sleep now.

[01:05:23]No more crying.

[01:05:38]We'll fight the war later when I get you out of here. Where's Manning?

[01:05:42]>> Gone this morning with the gun. They're going to attack Fort Smith.

[01:05:47]Come on. Come on. Just a minute.

[01:05:57][ __ ] [ __ ] That's the shortest way to Fort Smith.

[01:06:37]>> We're not going there. I'm dropping you off near Baxter Springs and I'm heading for home if I can make it to the Union lines.

[01:06:43]>> But we've got to warn and there's still time.

[01:06:45]>> I'm not concerned about Fort Smith.

[01:06:48]>> Well, you're concerned about the gun and Brett Manning, aren't you?

[01:06:52]>> I'll catch up with Manning somewhere sometime. That's the one thing I'm sure of.

[01:07:02]>> You won't consider a truce talk.

[01:07:04]>> Not when you can let those men at the fort die.

[01:07:07]Not much I can do about it.

[01:07:08]>> You can warn them.

[01:07:10]>> Where I come from, saving Yankees is considered very noble.

[01:07:13]>> Well, can't you think of him just as peep?

[01:07:18]>> I could, I suppose. But that wouldn't be easy. The same kind of people burned my home in Atlanta and killed my brother.

[01:07:25]And you know what would happen to me at Fort Smith if I made that noble gesture you keep harping on?

[01:07:30]>> They shoot me for a spy.

[01:07:35]I guess you're right.

[01:07:37]In a war, you you have to take sides.

[01:07:40]>> And four years of war are more than enough to learn how to hate good and hard. You said that, remember?

[01:08:05]There aren't so many differences between us really. And someday when we know each other a little better, >> someday maybe time to turn in.

[01:08:28]That's just like you Yankees. You want all the territory for yourselves.

[01:08:39]Mason Dixon line and see that you don't cross it.

[01:09:17]Heat. Heat.

[01:09:48]Get up slowly. Go on, pick it up. Best kind of rebels are dead ones.

[01:09:55]Mr. Kelso and I have the same philosophy, but different viewpoints.

[01:09:59]Where's the gatling gun?

[01:10:00]>> He just searched me, didn't he?

[01:10:02]>> Yellowhawk has the gun. Manning sold it to him. They're advancing against Fort Smith.

[01:10:08]>> We ride through, we might make it.

[01:10:10]>> Sloan Thomas, alert the garrison at Lawrence. The fort's going to need all the help we can get. You ought to send Miss Curtis back with them so she won't see the bloodshed on a small scale as liable to look like Atlanta when all you brave Yankee soldiers burnt us out.

[01:10:25]>> You probably don't care, Faraday, but Fort Smith isn't all Yankee soldiers.

[01:10:28]Their wives and children are with them.

[01:11:06]Heat. Heat.

[01:11:14]Heat.

[01:11:27]Heat.

[01:11:54]Heat. Heat.

[01:12:15]Heat up here.

[01:12:54]They're using a rapid fire gun of some I've heard rumors of a gun that operates like a machine. Is that we're in for something?

[01:13:00]>> So far, we haven't been able to locate the imp placement. I think our only chance is to send out a patrol, sir.

[01:13:04]>> Send 12 men through the rear gates.

[01:13:06]>> Yes, sir.

[01:13:08]>> Make observations in the tower. Report all activities to me.

[01:13:11]>> Yes, sir.

[01:13:18]Of course, just the other side of that ridge. They're using the gatling gun.

[01:13:51]>> Mr. Kelsey, give me Mr. Faraday's carby.

[01:13:58]>> Keep your men out of sight.

[01:14:23]Heat up here.

[01:14:47]Heat.

[01:14:54]Heat.

[01:15:11]Heat. Heat.

[01:15:28]can't last much longer. What's left of it? I need one man to go with me. I'm going to knock out that gun. It's our only chance. I'm ready whenever you are.

[01:15:36]We use knives and we're able to get close enough to Manny. Stop him and stop the gap. He's probably the only one that knows how to operate it.

[01:15:46]>> He may not be the only one.

[01:15:48]>> I was wondering maybe your leg will slow you down. Any of the men will be glad to take you.

[01:15:51]>> Thanks, but this is my job. Well, crawl up quietly on opposite flanks. The gun is pretty well protected by rocks.

[01:15:58]>> Deploy your men behind that ridge.

[01:16:00]Absolutely no noise. And if they ever see you, we'll never get a second chance to reach that gun.

[01:16:03]>> I understand, sir. Take cover.

[01:16:15]Heat.

[01:16:30]Heat.

[01:16:48]four of them.

[01:16:52]More smoke signals. Two new tribes. Both ages and many cars will join Yellow.

[01:16:58]Maybe a thousand, maybe more.

[01:17:21]Stag signals from Major Dawson. He's waiting the other side of Ridge Hill.

[01:17:25]Signal him to await orders. That's all.

[01:17:28]Yes, sir.

[01:17:43]Heat up here.

[01:18:13]Heat. Heat.

[01:18:41]No, you can't shoot. No, no, those were the orders.

[01:18:58]Heat. Heat.

[01:19:09]Heat up here.

[01:19:45]Heat. Heat.

[01:19:55]Heat.

[01:20:16]Heat.

[01:20:39]Signal major th000 to attack.

[01:20:45]Heat up here.

[01:21:24]Heat. Heat.

[01:21:33]Heat.

[01:21:48]Heat.

[01:22:10]Heat.

[01:22:12]Heat.

[01:22:29]Heat.

[01:22:34]Heat.

[01:22:54]Heat.

[01:22:57]Heat.

[01:23:18]best I can deliver it to the arsenal in Indianapolis now.

[01:23:22]>> Where you from, Mr. >> James Simmons, Georgia Volunteers.

[01:23:28]>> That train robbery was a nice job. Good timing, >> Sergeant. Let's prepare to move this gun inside the fort.

[01:23:38]>> Mr. Kel, sir, I hope you're going to take into consideration what Jim did to >> I uh I never like being judge your jury, Miss Curtis. The news came through in Baxter Springs a few days ago. Richmond and Petersburg are fallen. Lee's army is in full retreat. It's a matter of only a week now, maybe less.

[01:23:57]What happens to you will be up to the military court.

[01:24:02]They go around when they meet.

[01:24:25]>> Jim, do you have any plans? I mean, do you think >> I'll go home, fix up the old place, travel maybe west? I guess >> anywhere near Baxter Springs, >> my first stop.

[01:24:39]>> And there's that different point of view again.

[01:24:42]I plan to make it your last stop.

[01:24:44]>> Well, next to last. You like Atlanta?
