00:00:00The Indian tribes was willing to stay peaceful.
00:00:03That is, until Black Cat got here.
00:00:05Then it wasn't so peaceful anymore.
00:00:08There was something special about Black Cat.
00:00:11He'd had some book learning in American schools
00:00:14because he was half red man and half white man.
00:00:17Only the way Colonel Robert E. Lee said it,
00:00:20Black Cat was half Indian and half devil.
00:00:24But to Mrs. Wilson, her son Danny,
00:00:26in the United States of America Cavalry,
00:00:28I reckon he was all devil.
00:00:37And now every army post in Texas
00:00:40knowed that Black Cat was hiding out some wires
00:00:43in the Puerto Cedas Mountains,
00:00:45further north, about 50 miles in the Rio Grande.
00:00:49That's why Colonel Robert E. Lee
00:00:50sent for me and the lieutenant
00:00:52to come to headquarters at Fort Mason.
00:00:55Only I was left outside shopping and my boy
00:00:58while the lieutenant was inside
00:01:00getting his ears blistered good.
00:01:06You don't have much enthusiasm
00:01:08for the assignment, Lieutenant Elliot.
00:01:10No, sir.
00:01:12You're quite frank.
00:01:14I don't know much about being diplomatic, Colonel Lee.
00:01:17I never got to West Point.
00:01:18Perhaps if you had, I wouldn't have sent for you.
00:01:21Ever since Black Cat broke his Seminoles
00:01:23out of the Florida reservation
00:01:24and made his way into Texas,
00:01:26we've been trying to find him.
00:01:28I know, sir.
00:01:29You also know he's somewhere
00:01:31in the Puerto Cedas Mountains.
00:01:33I've heard it.
00:01:34Lieutenant, you lived with Black Cat
00:01:35when you were a boy.
00:01:36You know his habits
00:01:37and you know how he fights.
00:01:39I want Black Cat
00:01:40and you can get him.
00:01:42Is that all, sir?
00:01:43No.
00:01:44You can't possibly have any sympathy
00:01:46left for that half-breed.
00:01:48Not after the atrocities
00:01:49he's committed up north.
00:01:50Black Cat's fighting for his life, sir.
00:01:52Only he's going about it the wrong way.
00:01:54He can't win.
00:01:55Then you admit he's wrong.
00:01:57I'm also the wrong man
00:01:59to send to Fort Clark, sir.
00:02:01Oh.
00:02:02Is it you object to serving
00:02:04under Colonel Hanna
00:02:04or is his daughter
00:02:06your personal objection?
00:02:08I see you've heard of the incident.
00:02:10Colonel Hanna is an army man
00:02:11above everything else.
00:02:13He'll give you full cooperation, Elliot.
00:02:16You say so, sir.
00:02:18Fort Clark is the closest outpost
00:02:20to the Puerto Cedas Mountains.
00:02:22Orders are already on their way
00:02:23to Fort Stoddard
00:02:24to have your men join you at Clark.
00:02:25Clark, catching Black Cat
00:02:27is your responsibility.
00:02:29The entire region won't be safe
00:02:31until Black Cat is either dead
00:02:33or back on the reservation.
00:02:36That's all, Elliot.
00:02:38Thank you, sir.
00:02:39One more thing.
00:02:41Susan Hanna is now engaged
00:02:42to another man.
00:02:44We don't want any more trouble
00:02:45on this score.
00:02:47It's said in that territory, Colonel,
00:02:48that I'm half Indian
00:02:49and half white
00:02:51like Black Cat.
00:02:52Let's just say that
00:02:54Miss Hanna didn't know
00:02:55which half she wanted.
00:02:58You won't have any trouble
00:02:59with me, sir.
00:03:04Sir, he should be clapped into irons
00:03:07for talking like that
00:03:07to a superior officer.
00:03:09You want manners
00:03:10or Black Cat?
00:03:12You want to do some talking to me, Cam,
00:03:40or are you going to moat
00:03:41clear to Fort Clark?
00:03:43What's the matter?
00:03:44Are you getting curious
00:03:44about Susan Hanna, too?
00:03:46I might if I was a heap younger.
00:03:48It ain't often Colonel's daughter
00:03:49to get to be that good-looking.
00:03:51Well, I'll be glad
00:03:52you're not younger
00:03:53or good-looking.
00:03:54I've known some women
00:03:55in my time.
00:03:56Never learned
00:03:56but one thing about them.
00:03:58Them as don't know
00:03:59what they want
00:03:59is poison.
00:04:01Of course,
00:04:01with an ordinary coot
00:04:02like you,
00:04:02a gal might have
00:04:04some real romantic ideas
00:04:05one minute
00:04:06and be scared
00:04:07deathier the next.
00:04:09I'm telling you,
00:04:09Cubby,
00:04:09I don't want to hear
00:04:10any more about Susan Hanna.
00:04:12Now go to sleep.
00:04:13Just saying
00:04:14you was taking it out
00:04:15on your horse
00:04:15this afternoon
00:04:16like he was the fellow
00:04:17Susan was engaged to.
00:04:19Horse won't last
00:04:20a four o'clock that way.
00:04:23Show's all over me, eh?
00:04:25When an Indian
00:04:26wants a squaw,
00:04:27he takes her.
00:04:29You want Susan bad, Cam.
00:04:32But maybe you're
00:04:34blaming her
00:04:34for not making up
00:04:35your mind
00:04:36whether you're going
00:04:36to act like
00:04:37an Indian or not.
00:04:39Now look, Cubby,
00:04:40you've said your piece.
00:04:42Now let's forget it.
00:04:44This here knife
00:04:45belonged to
00:04:45Jim Bowie himself.
00:04:47I found it
00:04:48in the Alamo
00:04:48covered with dirt
00:04:49and so rusted up.
00:04:51Looked like it
00:04:51weren't fit for
00:04:52nothing else
00:04:52but the trash heap.
00:04:54Now look at her.
00:04:56Shining like a new penny.
00:04:58Polishing done it.
00:04:59A heap of polishing.
00:05:02Just telling you
00:05:02in case you think
00:05:03things tricks you
00:05:04and Susan Hanna
00:05:05is too rusty.
00:05:08Better stick to whiskey.
00:05:10Won't be any more
00:05:11fresh water
00:05:12or we hit the Lippin' Village.
00:05:13I was hoping
00:05:13you'd think of that.
00:05:15Here's to money,
00:05:17love,
00:05:17and keeping your scalp.
00:05:21Well, that must chance
00:05:23of any of them
00:05:23in the Army.
00:05:32Nothing left.
00:05:45Not a living thing.
00:05:47Somebody sure
00:05:48didn't like the Lippin'.
00:05:49Seminole arrow.
00:05:53That one looks like
00:05:55he's been shot.
00:06:02Guns, too.
00:06:03Got more trouble,
00:06:04you figured?
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Here's his old black cat
00:06:08don't like nobody,
00:06:09white or red.
00:06:11It wasn't just an attack.
00:06:13This was a good-sized village.
00:06:15I wonder where
00:06:16they could have gone.
00:06:17T'ain't like a Seminole
00:06:19to take prisoners.
00:06:20Black cat would have
00:06:21all he could do
00:06:22to feed his own people
00:06:22in these mountains.
00:06:23Yeah, but Hull villages
00:06:24don't just disappear in the air.
00:06:27This one did.
00:06:28The Lippin's been friendly
00:06:30with the whites.
00:06:31Reports I got,
00:06:32they've been selling
00:06:33corn and meal
00:06:34to Fort Clark.
00:06:35We ain't no more
00:06:36than about 25 miles
00:06:37from Fort Clark now.
00:06:39Cur to you
00:06:39that black cat's
00:06:40pretty strong
00:06:41to be hitting that close.
00:06:43Yeah.
00:06:45Fire talk.
00:06:48They've spotted us.
00:06:50Then this ain't
00:06:50healthy territory.
00:06:51There's the answer.
00:06:57That would be
00:06:58black cat's camp.
00:06:59Devil pass?
00:07:00Can't be.
00:07:01We just come through there.
00:07:02We didn't see nothing.
00:07:03No tracks,
00:07:04cook fire,
00:07:04dashes,
00:07:05horses,
00:07:05nothing.
00:07:06Well, he's there.
00:07:06I don't know just where,
00:07:07but he's down there.
00:07:09How in blazes
00:07:10did we?
00:07:18We've got company.
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:21He's still on.
00:07:23He's still on.
00:07:25Right.
00:07:30Take care.
00:09:02You should have fitted him with spectacles.
00:09:04They're going to run us down.
00:09:16I reckon neither of us ever expected to hear prettier horn music, unless Gabriel was doing the tune.
00:09:47Of course, we didn't know it was going to be one of them spit and polish captains.
00:09:50They kept the hide in one piece.
00:09:52Here we was, coming to save the academy boys and Black Cat, and here they was, saving us.
00:09:58Captain Phil Dudley.
00:10:05Thanks, Captain.
00:10:06At your service, Lieutenant Elliot.
00:10:07We were on patrol.
00:10:09Looks like some of Black Cat's braves didn't think we should get to Fort Clark.
00:10:12And you think Black Cat knows his brothers in the territory?
00:10:15Maybe the captain has more proof than I have, that I'm Black Cat's brother.
00:10:19I don't think so, Lieutenant.
00:10:22If you men will mount up, we'll see that you get to Fort Clark without any further interruptions.
00:10:25Sure, Captain.
00:10:56Hello, Philip.
00:11:07Lieutenant Elliot.
00:11:09Miss Hannah.
00:11:15Lieutenant, when you get through with Colonel Hannah, you and I had better talk.
00:11:21Just stay out of my way, Dudley, and I'll stay out of yours and Susan's.
00:11:31Nice, friendly place you got here, Captain.
00:11:40Lieutenant Elliot, sir.
00:11:41All right, Sergeant.
00:11:45Glad to have you with us again, Lieutenant.
00:11:46Thank you, Colonel.
00:11:48My order, sir.
00:11:49Colonel Lee's having your troop join us.
00:11:56Should be here by tonight.
00:11:58Yes, sir.
00:11:59Our quarters here aren't as spacious as the ones we had at Fort Stoddard, Lieutenant.
00:12:02We'll be crowded.
00:12:04I'll have no choice but to put you in with two other officers.
00:12:07It'll do.
00:12:08I'll try to make the campaign against Black Cat as brief as possible, sir.
00:12:12You have my assurance that Captain Dudley and I will give you all the help you need, sir.
00:12:16Thank you, sir.
00:12:18I'm sure Captain Dudley and I will get along all right.
00:12:21Perhaps.
00:12:22I hope so.
00:12:24Though he's not a man who forgets things easily.
00:12:26As for me, I don't harbor any past resentments, Lieutenant, nor does Susan.
00:12:32You see, she told me the truth.
00:12:36True, sir.
00:12:37She admitted that she asked you to ride with her that night outside the fort
00:12:40and that what happened was as much her fault as yours.
00:12:44The gossips blamed you and there was little Susan or I could do about it.
00:12:49It isn't always easy for a man to know just what a girl expects or wants.
00:12:53Sir, Susan had absolutely no reason to...
00:12:57My daughter's lived around men in army camps all her life, Lieutenant.
00:13:00She's a decent girl, but she's not a shrinking violet.
00:13:04Let's just say that she was impulsive and you were presumptuous and forget the matter.
00:13:11Thank you, sir.
00:13:12She's engaged to marry Captain Dudley now.
00:13:15And there it all ends.
00:13:17Yes, sir.
00:13:23Some fellas rolled in and shot the lock off from the guardhouse door.
00:13:30Plugged the prisoner, too.
00:13:31They got themselves holed up inside.
00:13:33Wilson!
00:13:45All right, let him do it!
00:13:48Don't none of you try and take us.
00:13:50He paid us to do it.
00:13:53Wilson did.
00:13:54And he had a right.
00:13:55Them Indians got his wife and kid.
00:13:57Wilson had a right.
00:13:59Can't even find their buddies.
00:14:02But if Black Cat's gone alive, I wish they was dead.
00:14:05How bad is it?
00:14:06The Indian was hit in both legs, Colonel.
00:14:08Sergeant, take this man to the doctor.
00:14:10Yes, sir.
00:14:11That prisoner is one of Black Cat's men.
00:14:15We were counting on him giving us information.
00:14:17He'll tell us nothing now.
00:14:19You've had him three days and he hasn't told you a thing.
00:14:22Wilson can hardly be blamed, sir.
00:14:24Not after what happened to his family.
00:14:27May I speak, sir?
00:14:28The Black Cat situation is in your hands, Lieutenant.
00:14:31Any prisoner we take is entitled to protection.
00:14:37That's Army law.
00:14:39You'd kill that Indian, I'd see you hang.
00:14:43Who are you, soldier?
00:14:45Have him put away that gun and I'll talk.
00:14:48Stay where you are, all of you.
00:14:50We're leaving the fort.
00:14:51Then you'll leave without your guns.
00:14:54We're private citizens, soldier.
00:14:55We don't take your orders.
00:14:57Now we can talk.
00:15:05Taking matters into your own hands won't help.
00:15:08There's more happening in those mountains than you know about.
00:15:10But it concerns all of us.
00:15:12All of us here.
00:15:14Not just you or your troubles.
00:15:17Where do you live?
00:15:19I got a ranch up at the Cuyula Waterhole.
00:15:21Stay there.
00:15:23And keep out of our way.
00:15:24Your wife and son are still alive, we'll get them back.
00:15:27That's all.
00:15:30I'll clear up.
00:15:35Wilson supplied a lot of provisions for this camp, sir.
00:15:37He deserves better treatment.
00:15:39He gets paid for those provisions, Captain.
00:15:41We had our chance with Black Cat, Captain Dudley.
00:15:44Lieutenant Elliot gets every cooperation.
00:15:47Yes, sir.
00:15:47Newly arrived officers usually dine at headquarters the first night.
00:15:55Why, of course, Lieutenant.
00:15:56We'll expect you.
00:15:59I'll see what delicacies I can find for dinner.
00:16:01I do all the cooking for my father.
00:16:03You see, I can do other things besides get a man into trouble.
00:16:07Um, I have a lot of important matters I'd like to discuss with you, Colonel.
00:16:11And if you, uh, if you have the time now.
00:16:13Why, certainly, Lieutenant.
00:16:14The rest of the Lippins in that village were taken somewhere by the Seminans.
00:16:24I'm afraid Black Cat's doing more than just hide from you, Colonel.
00:16:27Yes, guns.
00:16:28Where he gets them, I don't know.
00:16:30But I'm afraid we'll never get close enough to him to find out what he's up to.
00:16:34Well, there's one person who might know.
00:16:35Well, Wilson's wife.
00:16:38She's still alive to tell it.
00:16:40As a prisoner among other prisoners, she may have learned a lot.
00:16:42In heaven's name, Lieutenant.
00:16:43We've scarred these mountains trying to find her.
00:16:46If we could capture some of Black Cat's people,
00:16:49Black Cat would make an exchange of prisoners.
00:16:51He'll do anything to keep his people out of our hands.
00:16:54You believe Black Cat's really in Devil Pass, Lieutenant?
00:16:57Yes, sir.
00:16:58Think you could crystallize your plans by tonight?
00:17:01Well, there's a possibility.
00:17:02If I could study the maps of the terrain this afternoon.
00:17:05Here they are, Lieutenant.
00:17:10That'll be all.
00:17:11Thank you, sir.
00:17:17A workable plan, Lieutenant.
00:17:19If Black Cat will be fooled by your diversionary tactics.
00:17:22He'll have no other choice, sir.
00:17:24My force will present a threat to him.
00:17:26He'll have to come out to attack.
00:17:27Leaving Devil Pass weekly defended.
00:17:29And Captain Dudley can go into the pass with a small party and take the hostages.
00:17:33Then if your troop arrives tonight, you'll leave in the morning, huh?
00:17:38Right, sir.
00:17:47Better have it out with her, Elliot, before this turns into a mess.
00:17:50I have nothing to say, sir.
00:17:52She's ready to explode.
00:17:53So are you.
00:17:54So is Dudley.
00:17:56Dudley once threatened to kill you because of that night at Fort Stoddard.
00:17:58If he loses his temper again, I can't answer for him.
00:18:03Captain has more sense than that, sir.
00:18:05Has he?
00:18:06I wish I were so sure.
00:18:08The man's head over heels in debt.
00:18:11He's like a spring drawn too tight.
00:18:13He's her choice.
00:18:15Yes, yes, I know.
00:18:17The only thing holding up the marriage is his debts.
00:18:20Susan insists that he pay those off first.
00:18:21Well, every day he gets more nervous, more irritable.
00:18:27And with you here, he might...
00:18:30Who knows?
00:18:32You mean something to her, Cam.
00:18:35Infatuation, perhaps.
00:18:37Danger, maybe.
00:18:38She's been raised on danger.
00:18:40But whatever it is, it's affected her normal feelings towards Dudley.
00:18:44She's not sure of herself.
00:18:46Cam, if you're going to be worse for her than Dudley, get out of her life and stay out.
00:18:52I've already been worse for her.
00:18:55Be frank with me, son.
00:18:56You love her.
00:19:01I don't know.
00:19:04I know I wanted her then and...
00:19:07Well, I want her now.
00:19:09Maybe love means other things, though.
00:19:11Well, thanks for your honesty.
00:19:14Perhaps that explains the way Susan feels, too.
00:19:18Yes, sir.
00:19:20Lieutenant.
00:19:21You're sending Captain Dudley into Devil Pass with a small force of men.
00:19:25If your plan should misfire, he could be killed.
00:19:28You'd be blamed.
00:19:30I thought of that, sir.
00:19:32Still want to go through with it?
00:19:34He's a soldier, sir.
00:19:36But I'll do all in my power to see that he doesn't get killed.
00:19:39Good night, sir.
00:19:40Good night.
00:19:41You finished with Dad?
00:19:48Uh-huh.
00:19:49You had a lot to talk about?
00:19:52Yeah, a lot.
00:19:54I wanted to know if I...
00:19:55If I loved you.
00:19:56It's a little late for such a question, isn't it?
00:20:02What did you tell him?
00:20:04Nothing much.
00:20:05You're going to marry Dudley.
00:20:06Cam.
00:20:06Why didn't you ask me to marry you at Fort Stoddard?
00:20:13Colonel Stoddard doesn't marry a half-breed.
00:20:16But you made love to me.
00:20:19Any man would want to do that.
00:20:22Thanks.
00:20:24I think that's a compliment.
00:20:27Do you think because we fight the Indian people, I hate them?
00:20:31I don't even hate Black Cat.
00:20:33I can understand why he's fighting.
00:20:35So can Dad.
00:20:37But they've got to try to understand us, too.
00:20:40If more people felt like that, there'd be no Indian wars.
00:20:43It's a big country, Cam.
00:20:46There's room for everybody.
00:20:49You know, it's too bad Black Cat can't hear some of your ideas.
00:20:54Right now, it's more important that you've heard them.
00:20:59If I kissed you now, it'd have to start all over again.
00:21:03Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
00:21:08Let Dudley answer that.
00:21:09Cam.
00:21:13They got here on time.
00:21:24Maybe it's just as well.
00:21:30Figured you'd make it, Chris.
00:21:31I told my men you'd make it, all right.
00:21:33They said they could do anything an officer could do.
00:21:36Any trouble?
00:21:37No, I didn't see nothing but rattlesnakes in that country we came across.
00:21:40Lieutenant, meet my brother, Tony.
00:21:43Dern fool signed up for a hitch in San Antone.
00:21:45Welcome, Tony.
00:21:46Thank you, sir.
00:21:47What's he packing?
00:21:48Violin.
00:21:49Plays real good.
00:21:51That's his business.
00:21:52Join the Army as a hobby.
00:21:55Attention!
00:21:56Colonel Hannah, sir.
00:22:05I'd like to present Sergeant Christopher Zenova.
00:22:08Captain Dudley, Sergeant Christopher Zenova.
00:22:11Not much room here, Sergeant.
00:22:13You'll have to do the best you can at the barracks.
00:22:15Yes, sir.
00:22:15That's all.
00:22:16Lieutenant Elliot will give you your orders.
00:22:18Very good, sir.
00:22:20Forward!
00:22:21Help!
00:22:22Help!
00:22:22Help!
00:22:22Help!
00:22:22Help!
00:22:22Help!
00:22:26I'll brief the men, sir, if you'll brief Captain Dudley on our plans.
00:22:39Very well.
00:22:40Good night, Lieutenant.
00:22:41Good night, sir.
00:22:42Good night, Captain.
00:22:43Good night.
00:22:49Captain Dudley.
00:22:51Lieutenant Elliot's plan is for you to capture the hostages.
00:22:53If you're successful, it'll give me a basis on which to recommend your promotion.
00:22:57Yes, sir.
00:22:58Good night, sir.
00:22:59Good night, Colonel.
00:23:13We hadn't wasted no time, that's for sure.
00:23:17But no black hat had guns didn't give us any time to waste.
00:23:20We was setting the trip, and I don't reckon any of us felt too good about being the bait.
00:23:32Oh!
00:23:34Oh!
00:23:38Well, this is where we separate, Captain.
00:23:40Make no attempt to enter Devil Pass until you hear gunfire from below.
00:23:44Then you'll know that Black Cat has attacked us.
00:23:47Good luck to you, sir.
00:23:47And to you, Lieutenant.
00:23:49Forward!
00:23:49Forward!
00:23:50Forward!
00:24:04What do we do now?
00:24:05They're splitting up.
00:24:07Captain Dudley's in command.
00:24:09We'll follow him.
00:24:09We'll follow him.
00:24:09Oh, gosh.
00:24:27We'll follow him.
00:24:27We'll follow him.
00:24:28We'll follow him.
00:24:29We'll follow you.
00:24:30This is about the launch study we've made for a long time.
00:24:32We'll follow vamos.
00:24:33We'll follow him.
00:24:34Says students with a long time.
00:24:34Do you?
00:24:35Somebody from the launch?
00:24:35We'll follow him on.
00:24:35We'll follow him.

00:27:39Let's go.
00:27:40Let's go.
00:28:08Hold your fire.
00:28:10You think they'll come back again, sir?
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:13Maybe twice.
00:28:17Just wet your whistle, kid.
00:28:18Take too much water and this sun will cook your gizzard.
00:28:25Let's get higher.
00:28:26Miss Mallet.
00:28:41What do you suppose is going on down there?
00:28:43We'll wait here and find out.
00:28:44We'll wait here and find out.
00:28:45We'll wait here.
00:28:46Okay.
00:28:48I'll do a little bit.
00:28:50I'll do it.
00:28:51I'll do it.
00:28:52I'll do it.
00:28:53I'll do it.
00:28:54I'll do it.
00:28:55I'll do it.
00:28:56We'll do it.
00:28:58Let's go.
00:29:28Take two men and see what's in that room.
00:29:29Yes, sir.
00:29:30Conviscate any ammunition you find.
00:29:34Any of you people speak English?
00:29:40Many of us speak your tongue.
00:29:42Your name?
00:29:45Malawa.
00:29:46Malawa.
00:29:47Black Cat's Quar.
00:29:49You and your boy come with us.
00:29:51Your people will not be hurt.
00:29:53Where do you take me?
00:29:54To Fort Clark.
00:29:56You and your boy will be set free when the Wilson woman and her son are returned unharmed.
00:30:01Four new rifles, Captain.
00:30:03The latest make.
00:30:06Better than the ones we have.
00:30:07They're good ones, all right.
00:30:09I can't figure out where they get them.
00:30:11Something else, Captain.
00:30:13Blonde woman and a child.
00:30:15Mrs. Wilson was a blonde.
00:30:19Yes, sir.
00:30:22Tell me the truth.
00:30:24Was it the Wilson woman?
00:30:29Tell me the truth.
00:30:30It was.
00:30:32The Wilson woman and her little one.
00:30:34Bring them along, Sergeant.
00:30:59Put the woman and the child on a horse.
00:31:01The man will take turns riding double.
00:31:02Yes, sir.
00:31:10What are you doing here, Wilson?
00:31:12Not making any trouble, Captain.
00:31:14Just searching the way we've been doing the past couple of weeks.
00:31:16You followed me.
00:31:17It's my wife and boy you're looking for, Captain Dudley.
00:31:20Just thought we might be of some help.
00:31:22I'm afraid I have bad news for you.
00:31:24You found them?
00:31:26We're not entirely sure.
00:31:28You know what my wife looked like?
00:31:29She...
00:31:30They've been scalped.
00:31:33I'm sorry.
00:31:34If they were still alive, we might have gotten them back with these hostages.
00:31:37Black Cat Squaw and Son.
00:31:42No call to take them in now.
00:31:46Can I talk to you a minute, Captain?
00:31:49Alone?
00:31:49Sure.
00:32:01What are you going to do with them redskins?
00:32:03That decision is up to Colonel Hanna.
00:32:05We're taking them in.
00:32:06What's the use?
00:32:08Why not let me have them?
00:32:09You?
00:32:10You can't get my wife and boy back with them now.
00:32:12You've got no need for prisoners.
00:32:14Just turn them loose.
00:32:16That's all you have to do.
00:32:20You owe me a lot of money, Captain.
00:32:22I know you stuck up for me at the fort and I ain't forgetting it.
00:32:25But I'd be willing to cancel out your whole debt in exchange for her.
00:32:29No.
00:32:30Colonel Hanna might find out about it.
00:32:31How could he?
00:32:32You and I are the only ones that know about it.
00:32:34As for your excuse, you can say you found the scalps and you didn't see any reason to bring back the hostages.
00:32:38Who can question that, Captain?
00:32:40What are you going to do with them?
00:32:42You're going to worry about what happens to a couple of murdering redskins?
00:32:52All right, Wilson.
00:32:54You made a good deal, Captain.
00:33:05Tell the Colonel that's the way I feel about it.
00:33:06My wife and kid are gone and nothing's going to bring them back.
00:33:10Using women and children, that's engine style.
00:33:13We ain't engines.
00:33:14Tell him I'm plumb grateful for the way you boys got out and hustled.
00:33:17I'm just sorry that we were too late, Wilson.
00:33:19Maybe be seeing you at four o'clock in a week or so.
00:33:22Got business south.
00:33:23Let the woman go.
00:33:34The child, too.
00:33:36You're not taking them in, Captain?
00:33:37You're in my orders.
00:33:38There's no point in it now.
00:33:40Perhaps we can reach Clark by nightfall.
00:33:42Yes, sir.
00:33:42We will argue no more, High Cloud, to charge the white eyes on the rocks again.
00:33:55We would only lose more men and fail.
00:33:57We will wait until tonight.
00:33:59An Indian chief did not make war at night.
00:34:06The sun god would be angry.
00:34:07Since my father was a white man, perhaps the sun god will only be half angry.
00:34:12Why have you left the canyon?
00:34:29Only I, of all the women, could ride swift enough.
00:34:31What has happened?
00:34:33The squad, little one of Black Cat, have been killed.
00:34:39Amawa.
00:34:42How?
00:34:46Soldiers from the fort came to the caves and took her.
00:34:50Later we found her and the boy.
00:34:53The knives of the white eyes.
00:34:58Now will you charge the rocks?
00:35:02No.
00:35:04There is a different way.
00:35:06Then we will retreat now, like women.
00:35:07We will leave.
00:35:09But first there is something I must do.
00:35:12Do not go until I return.
00:35:25See anything?
00:35:26Nope.
00:35:27It's eating a tarantula, just minding his own business.
00:35:30The boys are getting restless, Lieutenant.
00:35:36How long are you going to sit this one out?
00:35:38We'll give the captain as much time as possible.
00:35:41Could be he'll bring reinforcements from the fort.
00:35:43Maybe.
00:35:45It'll take another 12 hours if he doesn't.
00:35:46I wish words with my brother, Gray Eagle.
00:35:56Gray Eagle?
00:35:57I ain't heard you call that in years.
00:35:59It must be Black Cat himself.
00:36:06Under a flag of truce.
00:36:07Hold your fire.
00:36:11Black Cat.
00:36:13This is Cam Elliott.
00:36:14You won't be fired on.
00:36:16What do you want?
00:36:17Come out where I can see you, so we may speak as brothers.
00:36:20Keep saying brother.
00:36:22Getting to be a real family affair.
00:36:24You going down there?
00:36:26Black Cat respects the flag of truce as much as we do.
00:36:29There won't be any tricks.
00:36:30Hello, Black Cat.
00:36:56I hoped never to make war on Gray Eagle.
00:36:58But you have come to find me as an enemy.
00:37:02I'm not known as Gray Eagle in the U.S. Army, Black Cat.
00:37:05Each man goes by his own lights.
00:37:09Sometimes it is hard for a man to stay with those lights.
00:37:13No matter where it may lead.
00:37:17I came here to ask you a question, Gray Eagle.
00:37:19And you must answer me with words of truth.
00:37:23I have no reason to lie to you about anything.
00:37:26I believe you, my brother.
00:37:29Soldiers from Fort Clark.
00:37:31Killed my wife and son at Devil Pass today.
00:37:34What?
00:37:35Were you responsible for...
00:37:37I know nothing about this.
00:37:39We set a trap here to draw you out of the pass.
00:37:41So we could get hostages to exchange for Mrs. Wilson and her boy.
00:37:45It would have done you no good.
00:37:47Mrs. Wilson was killed when she tried to stab one of our women.
00:37:50Her boy died when he tried to help her.
00:37:52There was nothing I could do.
00:37:53But Malawa was harming no one.
00:37:58The Seminoles were talking of a new treaty with Colonel Hanna.
00:38:02Now there will be no treaty.
00:38:03We will keep fighting in every way we can.
00:38:09Goodbye, my brother.
00:38:12Bye-bye, Cat.
00:38:12Get the men down and start rounding up the horses.
00:38:29All right, man, let's go!
00:38:30It's all over?
00:38:31Just the beginning.
00:38:32Black Cat claims Captain Dudley's outfit killed his wife and son.
00:38:36What?
00:38:38Look.
00:38:38Let's go!
00:39:08Looks like they've been hit bad, sir.
00:39:17Stay with the wounded here.
00:39:18Wounded bomb!
00:39:20Troop forward!
00:39:22We'll be right back!
00:39:52Let's go!
00:39:53Let's go!
00:39:53Let's go!
00:39:53Let's go!
00:39:54Let's go!
00:39:58Where's the colonel?
00:39:59He's inside, sir!
00:40:07Black Cat, sir?
00:40:08Less than an hour ago, he's taken Susan with him.
00:40:11Susan?
00:40:11But why, Cam?
00:40:13Revenge, sir.
00:40:15Black Cat thinks that his wife and son were murdered by Captain Dudley and his men.
00:40:19Murdered?
00:40:19In heaven's name, Elliot.
00:40:21We took them, but we realized there was no point in bringing them in.
00:40:24Mrs. Wilson and the child were dead.
00:40:26Then who could have killed them?
00:40:28Wilson.
00:40:28It must have been Wilson.
00:40:29He followed us.
00:40:30Wilson?
00:40:31With a man like that in the vicinity, you left that woman and child alone?
00:40:34You acted like a fool, Captain.
00:40:36I never should have allowed Wilson to leave the fort.
00:40:40The issue lay with your judgment yesterday, Captain Dudley.
00:40:43You knew he was dangerous.
00:40:44Cam, you know Black Cat.
00:40:46What will he do to her?
00:40:49Miss Hannah will be of great value to them, sir.
00:40:51She's a woman.
00:40:52A beautiful woman.
00:40:54She'll buy many guns.
00:40:55You think they sell their prisoners?
00:40:58They don't have money to buy guns, Captain.
00:41:02Colonel, my guess is that Black Cat will try to take his people south.
00:41:06Across the Capote Desert.
00:41:07Impossible.
00:41:08There's not a trace of water for over 500 miles.
00:41:11Indians have ways of crossing that desert without water, Captain.
00:41:14I don't know how they do it, but they sure do it.
00:41:17Captain Dudley.
00:41:18Give me that map over there.
00:41:19Now, the key to the march would be the San Esteban Lake.
00:41:31It runs bone dry in mid-August, sometimes earlier.
00:41:35Colonel, my men could carry enough water to catch up with Black Cat.
00:41:39If Captain Dudley could meet us at the lake with water, on our return we could make it.
00:41:44Very well, Lieutenant.
00:41:46Just how long am I supposed to wait in that desert for your forces?
00:41:49Give me 72 hours.
00:41:51You're not back by then?
00:41:53Well, you know we're not coming back.
00:41:55You have full authority to use whatever tactics you think best, Lieutenant.
00:41:59Thank you, sir.
00:42:07Lieutenant.
00:42:08You arranged that very nicely for yourself.
00:42:12Did I?
00:42:14You're fully aware that the only way a half-breed could get anywhere in this army is by marrying the right woman.
00:42:19I could be court-martialed for hitting a superior officer.
00:42:25You'd like that to happen, wouldn't you, Captain?
00:42:27We was off again.
00:42:37I've known Cam Elliott a long time.
00:42:40It always seems that wherever he goes, there's trouble.
00:42:43And me mooching along, thinking this time can never be as bad as the last.
00:42:47Chris Zenova's younger brother, Tony, was left with Captain Dudley in the water barrels about 15 miles back,
00:42:55figuring this was going to be a mite too rough for the boy.
00:42:58So now we was on our own.
00:42:59All we had to do was get over the Capote desert, capture Black Cat, get back Susan Hanna,
00:43:06and make it back to Dudley's supply trade without dying a thirst or a seven-hole bullet.
00:43:12Next I could see, didn't aim to be no church social.
00:43:15Have we much further to go?
00:43:32I can't ride anymore.
00:43:34I just can't.
00:43:35Please.
00:43:38We've been riding since morning.
00:43:40We only stopped because you're a woman and need rest.
00:43:43You may sleep for two hours.
00:43:46I won't be able to sleep.
00:43:47My legs hurt.
00:43:49Rub them.
00:43:50They will be all right.
00:43:51But...
00:43:51Rub them!
00:43:56An injured woman is worth nothing to me.
00:43:58Do as I say.
00:43:58When your legs are better, we will ride again.
00:44:07Won't you tell me where you're taking me?
00:44:10Tomorrow we will rejoin the other people of my tribe.
00:44:13The day after that, you will see for yourself where we're taking you.
00:44:17My father will find you.
00:44:20I will be ready for him.
00:44:22See if you can stand now.
00:44:28You are a woman of much beauty.
00:44:35It is strange that your father, who is my enemy, gave you such fairness.
00:44:40Or now it will destroy him.
00:44:46We camped the troop for the night, and then Cam, Chris, and me took a walk around
00:44:50to see what kind of defense we could make if we was attacked.
00:44:54And this is what we found.
00:44:58You think maybe they're the scalps of Black Cat's squaw and kid?
00:45:07That's my guess.
00:45:09Only it doesn't figure.
00:45:11How did Wilson get into Black Cat's hideout without Captain Dudley knowing it?
00:45:14Interesting question.
00:45:16Any opinions?
00:45:18Nothing that'll make me like Captain Dudley any better.
00:45:22Well, we'll find out in due time.
00:45:24After the men rest, order a detail to bury them.
00:45:28We found out later this is where Black Cat had taken Susan.
00:45:34A place that the Seminoles call the Valley of Tears.
00:45:38Good name for it.
00:45:39Why do I have to wear this?
00:45:54My dress is torn, but it's still good.
00:45:57Answer me.
00:45:58You can talk.
00:45:59I'll answer you.
00:46:01This is as far as we go.
00:46:03We're going to stay here in this valley?
00:46:05For a while.
00:46:05Well, there is only one way in, through the canyon leading into this valley.
00:46:10Even if your soldiers find the canyon, my braves will stop them from coming through.
00:46:15But you still haven't told me why I have to dress like an Indian squaw.
00:46:18You are a prisoner.
00:46:19You will be traded for guns and ammunition to white men who will meet us here.
00:46:24Paiutes, Navajos, Lipans.
00:46:26We capture them and trade them for guns here in this valley every August.
00:46:29You dare to sell me?
00:46:32Like an animal?
00:46:33These men own silver mines and must have slaves to work in them.
00:46:37But you are a handsome woman.
00:46:39One of the younger men will pay well for you.
00:46:43This is a valley of sadness, Miss Hanna.
00:46:46We call it the Valley of Tears.
00:46:49The Valley of Misery.
00:46:51We send slaves to the misery of whips and hard labor.
00:46:56Then we take the guns we have traded for them and go back to our misery.
00:47:02But the white men have offered you an honorable peace.
00:47:06You could send your children to schools.
00:47:08Peace.
00:47:10Peace we would accept.
00:47:12But not the slow death of a reservation.
00:47:15Will the sons of the Seminoles forgive you for having kept them from becoming civilized?
00:47:19I no longer have a son.
00:47:46Fatter's feet show gets tired riding all day.
00:47:49Well, we know where the entrance to the valley is, Cam.
00:47:58But ain't we standing a good chance of getting ambushed if we try to go through?
00:48:01Black Cat could hold us off without too much trouble, all right?
00:48:04If we went through.
00:48:06If?
00:48:07I had a good look at the rock formations around there today.
00:48:10We're not going through.
00:48:11We're going over.
00:48:12Over?
00:48:13Uh-huh.
00:48:14If we can get to the top, we can see what's happening down below.
00:48:17I'd sure hate to get trapped on top of them table rocks.
00:48:21Still better than just walking head on into an ambush.
00:48:23Hmm.
00:48:24We'll let the men sleep another four hours and then pull out.
00:48:28That should get us to the base of the cliff while it's still dark.
00:48:30We'll leave the horses there and start climbing.
00:48:34Better get some sleep.
00:48:35The lieutenant split up the troop into small details and had him take different trails up to the top.
00:48:46He knowed that when you fought engines, it was a good idea not to put all your eggs in one basket.
00:48:52Eh, only trouble with this kind of fight.
00:48:55My ma didn't raise me after being no mountain goat.
00:48:58Let's go.
00:49:28Squads are coming in all right.
00:49:42Good.
00:49:42Good.
00:49:58We went up that canyon and we'd have been slaughtered.
00:50:00Black Cat's got his braves spotted all up there.
00:50:03Any sign of that village?
00:50:04No.
00:50:05Must be further up in the valley.
00:50:07Better hold up here until we make sure.
00:50:10Chris.
00:50:12Take some of your men and gather up all the rocks and wood they can find.
00:50:15Better make it fast.
00:50:17Might have spotted us by now.
00:50:18Yes, sir.
00:50:18Gray Eagle and the soldiers did not come through the canyon.
00:50:37They're on top of the mesas.
00:50:41My brother is a good officer.
00:50:42Attack them.
00:50:46Get them down.
00:50:47Get them down.
00:50:47My dog.
00:50:57Push.
00:50:57Get them down.
00:50:58Yeah.
00:50:59Okay.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:00Thenarly.
00:51:00Michael.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:05Yeah.
00:51:07Yeah.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:09Go.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10Yeah.
00:51:10Yeah.
00:51:12Girl.
00:51:13Yeah.
00:51:15Oh, I should give them something to think about.
00:51:30Yeah, but...
00:51:31Lieutenant, here they come.
00:51:45They'll try to surround us.
00:51:48Spence, take your men and cover the back trails.
00:51:52Yes, sir.
00:51:54Chris, see that your men hold position.
00:51:56Yes, sir.
00:51:58Detail, follow me.
00:52:01Take your position, men. Start firing.
00:52:15Let's go.
00:52:45Let's go.
00:53:15Don't be able to hold out here very long.
00:53:40Mr. Seab, you can't go down there alone.
00:53:42You don't stand a chance of fighting Black Cat.
00:53:44None of us will stand a chance if I don't.
00:53:47Bottled up and bottled up tight.
00:53:49There's a trail along this side.
00:53:51Maybe I can stay out of sight till I hit bottom.
00:53:53It's the first time you ever went out looking for trouble and left me behind.
00:53:57You'll have all that trouble you could handle right here.
00:53:59Take it.
00:53:59Maybe she'll like meeting up with Black Cat.
00:54:04Lieutenant Elliot!
00:54:10They're coming up, sir.
00:54:12Get in the cliff wall.
00:54:13All right, the rocks first.
00:54:18Reinforcements.
00:54:35Reinforcements.
00:54:36Drop the rest of those rocks.
00:54:46Drop the rest of those rocks.
00:54:46Drop the rest of those rocks.
00:54:48Drop the rest of them.
00:55:00Drop on!
00:55:04Drop!
00:55:05you want the others now sir light them up that'll keep them busy and give me a chance to get down

00:58:12I don't know.
00:58:42I don't know.
00:59:13He's already a day and a half overdue.
00:59:15We wouldn't accomplish anything by staying out here and dying of thirst ourselves.
00:59:19We'll start back for the fort after breakfast.
00:59:21Tell the men to get ready.
00:59:23Yes, sir.
00:59:24All right, men, saddle up.
00:59:25We're pulling out in a little while.
00:59:27We can't leave.
00:59:29Not yet.
00:59:31Captain Dudley, sir.
00:59:32Sir?
00:59:34Yes?
00:59:35You gave orders to break camp.
00:59:37I'm perfectly aware of my orders, Private Zenova.
00:59:40But Lieutenant Elliott's company won't have enough water to reach the fort, sir.
00:59:44Even if he were to show up now, there's no water.
00:59:46You saw that barrel.
00:59:47If we shared ours with them, sir, they'd be able to get back.
00:59:49You probably haven't been in the army long enough to know, Private Zenova.
00:59:53Every man obeys the orders of his superior officer.
00:59:55Without question.
00:59:57My brother's with Lieutenant Elliott.
00:59:58And they're all going to die.
01:00:00You know that.
01:00:01Are you going to pack your gear, or am I going to recommend a court-martial?
01:00:07Murderer.
01:00:11Clips!
01:00:16You're in the order.
01:00:17Saddle up.
01:00:19Sergeant.
01:00:22Yes, sir.
01:00:23Captain!
01:00:23Look out!
01:00:31Something must have happened in the water barrel.
01:00:4915, 20 hours ago, maybe.
01:00:51Captain Dudley pulled out and left us.
01:00:53We're never going to make it.
01:01:01A kid.
01:01:16Your brother.
01:01:18Tony?
01:01:20No, somebody's joking.
01:01:22Nothing happened here.
01:01:23The captain's company wasn't attacked.
01:01:25Besides, they don't...
01:01:27What's it figured?
01:01:42If we ever get back to Clark, maybe we'll find out.
01:01:45You going to tell the gal?
01:01:45Fightin's one thing.
01:01:56But when an officer has to tell a man his friend or his brother's dead,
01:02:00they tell a woman their man is gone.
01:02:03I'm kind of glad I never tried to be anything but what I am.
01:02:07That ain't much, but a sleep nights.
01:02:13We kept going without water.
01:02:14It looked like even the weather was a-trying to keep us from getting back.
01:02:22Many of the men was walking now,
01:02:24because the horses was too weak to carry them.
01:02:27There was going to be a lot more graves in the Capote Desert
01:02:30before we could reach Fort Clark.
01:02:34What do you expect to find, Gray Eagle?
01:02:36You've taken your Seminoles across this area many times without water.
01:02:40No.
01:02:41There is water here.
01:02:42Where?
01:02:43My brother.
01:02:44I can save the girl and your men.
01:02:47There is something I wish in return.
01:02:49I want you to set me free.
01:02:53My orders are to take you back to Clark.
01:02:55When water becomes more important to you than orders,
01:02:58I will tell you how to get water.
01:03:00We heard what Black Cat said, Lieutenant.
01:03:04It's our lives against his.
01:03:06Don't seem much sense.
01:03:07All us die in the thirst just to try to bring him back to Fort Clark.
01:03:11The decision isn't mine, Spence.
01:03:14I'm following orders.
01:03:15It is a brave man who can be stubborn when he is dying.
01:03:19Mount up.
01:03:20We're pulling out.
01:03:22And a pity that their bones should be bleached by the sun,
01:03:24now that the war is finished.
01:03:25Don't count on it, Black Cat.
01:03:27We'll get back to Clark, and you'll stand trial.
01:03:32Forward!
01:03:33Help!
01:03:36Lieutenant!
01:03:37Lieutenant!
01:03:37I don't think she can make it, Lieutenant.
01:03:46See if anyone has any water left.
01:03:49I'm sorry, Cam.
01:03:51Better not do too much talking.
01:03:53Boys are going to try to scare up some water.
01:03:56If you'd asked me,
01:03:58I would have married you at Fort Stoddard, Cam.
01:04:02Just wanted you to know.
01:04:04I've never cared what you are.
01:04:07Better not say anything you may be sorry for later.
01:04:11Tell her there is no Indian blood in you.
01:04:14My people found you in a wagon.
01:04:16Your mother and father were dead.
01:04:20Strange how simple and easy it sounds,
01:04:22the way he said it.
01:04:25Just a mouthful, maybe.
01:04:28All right, now easy.
01:04:35Ain't another drop in the hull outfit.
01:04:37We're going to put you back on your horse now, Susan.
01:04:41Try to keep going.
01:04:43We may be able to catch up with the other troop.
01:04:45All right, Chris.
01:04:46Black Cat.
01:04:51What's that fool Indian up to?
01:04:52Hold on to her.
01:05:07What are you doing here?
01:05:09These strips of hard-packed sand are called Cienegas.
01:05:12The Comanches taught me about them.
01:05:14They will save the lives of you and your men.
01:05:15Look.
01:05:16Look.
01:05:26Look.
01:05:26Look.
01:05:28Water.
01:05:29Water.
01:05:30thanks there aren't many such as you and miss henna who have given their heart to the indian
01:05:51what you feel and what you do could never help my people if you were to die here
01:05:57when your trial comes up i'll tell them how you helped us maybe you'll have what you want perhaps
01:06:03so we follow our lights once again
01:06:07water men water
01:06:42it felt kind of funny to know we was going to live out our days because of black cat
01:06:47but like i said
01:06:49this is a country itching to be tamed
01:06:52maybe black cat finally realized it had to happen sooner or later
01:06:56well that was that
01:06:58we knowed we was going to make it now
01:07:00i kind of got in the habit of sharing things with the lieutenant
01:07:05i reckon there's some things a man just don't share
01:07:12you
