02x27 - The Swift Cloud Story

[bunniefuu]

And when

they come by.

Now, you know

they're doing it the right way.

Good move.

Hurry up.

You're out of here.

All right.

I'll do it myself.

You can't do it yourself.

You Budapest.

You learn how to.

Handle this outfit.

But tell me.

How you break it down.

I want to get you hurt.

A. Hey,

Don and Raj
Kayo sneaking sirens running here.

Why they did it To protect Kate.

All moved up into that Canada country.

He's not right up
there, dressed up like a peacock and

a bunch of outcast Indians where they're
not even their own tribe can't stomach

one of the rioters and try to overrun us.

Are we trying to find out
how much strength he got?

No, he's got a lot more men with him.
And he used to.

Have you figured I'd keep up an attack
like this much longer?

I don't know.

We got to scout out there someplace.

Damn gets in here, You might
get the answers to a lot of questions.

McCullough
didn't warn us before he jumped.

What makes you think
he's still alive? Major,

look at it.

Never mind, kiddo.

You just keep looking for Flint.

You sorry about what happened after.

Sometimes man gets excited
and lose his head.

Your apology is accepted.

Major Watson, I'm not apologizing to you.

You're the one who lost your head.

What does it matter now?

Who was right and who was wrong?

The incident is finished. Forgotten.

Ran over. You struck me, Major.

To give an example of your men.

You thought I was trying to usurp
your authority.

They were wrong.

I hope I was.

Simply a chance
to rally the men for an attack.

They did follow me.

Yeah, they did.

Followed you.

All right.

I've been cut down just like you.

If you knew a military history
major, you'd know that our desert

is the most potent weapon of command.

Mr. Harcourt,

tell me you were in the infantry
at Colonel, weren't you?

Against Virginia Revolution?

I understand
you saw action on the other side.

That's right.

There's one thing I learned mighty fast.

What's that, Major?

I learned to stay clear of glory hunters.

If you'd care to explain that remark,
Major

Adams.

Yeah, I'll explain it for you.

I've seen your kind before

Antietam, Manassas
and a dozen other battles.

You'd lead your men
into the teeth of hell.

You'd have them slaughtered like pigs
just for the sake of k*lling,

no matter who was k*lled. Even yourself.

I wish there was some glory in it.

Major, please. All right, Mr. Peach.

Don't need to concern yourself
about my feelings.

The Major and I understand each other. No,

Major.

I had a review.

I didn't say one thing that wasn't true.

And you ought to not know.

But you, of all people should know
that a man

isn't just the sum of what he says
and does.

It isn't that. Simple.

I know.

I know.

Tell me,
how much do you know about Harcourt?

A great deal
that you should have known me.

Tried a great deal.

You're out of.

What's the matter?

Somebody segment
from that clump of brush up there.

You see

what's fluid?

What's to come in?

There must be something wrong,
Finch. No fool.

He wouldn't try to write down
a bunch of renegades in broad daylight.

Go get a mirror, Charlie.

Signal back to him.

Tell retired general after dark.

At least our scout shows a little courage.

And don't get nervous for those g*ns,
boys.

I'm expecting McCullough any minute.
You hear anything?

I see you out with

Major.

Hold your fire.

It's McCullough.

Take your ammunition.

It's about time you got here.

I got held up

while we're talking about it.

How come I didn't get
you word about Kate? I'll jump it.

I got held up by the terror car,
the whole tribes gather north.

I hear you're a cover.

That's right.

I've never had any trouble with a crowd.

I get paid for scouting.

I'm telling you, the tribes gather in.

North of here.

Hey, I.

Golly.

Had enough for the time being, Major.

Looks like we got them.

Look for good.

Looks like we're getting a little
help, mister.

Have to cheer a carnation on that. Here.

How much
time do we have before they attack Mr.

McCullough?

Mr. Harcourt,
your fire clouds alone with him.

His business with Cade. All are with us.

Revenge for horse stealing, red.

Several years ago, isn't it?

Cade all m*rder*d the Jericho guards
and almost k*lled Fire Cloud son.

I kept my ears open at the Ford Ranger

person.

Get back on your horse, William.

Go out there and see if you can find out
what Cade was up to.

But you do keep your eyes open.

You're right.

I think.

You were.

Wrong not to take the initiative
yesterday, Major.

We could have gotten away before a fire
glow.

Track Cade out here.

Destiny can be a highly practical tactic.

Mr. Harker,
you listen to me for just one minute.

This is not a military exercise.

I signed papers to take a bunch
of civilians to California,

and there's not one thing in those papers

that gives me the right to gamble
with their lives.

Despite our differences, I had intended
to place my experience at your disposal.

Outside of what you heard at the Ford.

Just what do you know about Indians?

You know how they act, how they live,
how they think.

I know that it's senseless
to wait to be slaughtered.

There's not going to be any slaughter
come tomorrow morning.

The setup
we pull out of here, like always.

I think you really

believe those Indians will let us go
unmolested.

Now, listen to me, Major.

We've got time to organize
to strike enemies, move out after dark,

attack their camp on both sides.

All right, If you don't have the guts,

let me lead them in.

Bell.

Tunney, come here.

Gather

escort. Mr.

Harcourt here to his wagon.

If he gives you a 1 minutes trouble,
tie him up.

Don't do it, Major.

Flint got to look at far clouds.

Main party
as women and children are starving.

And you know what?

He's going to come in here
and try to take anything they want.

In that case, Mr.

Harker will get you just what he wants
first thing in the morning sun up there,

you boys.

I'll get your hair parted, too.

Here to for negative.

Oh, I

congratulate the great chief
of the Shirakawa

on the bravery of his women
and his children.

Your tongue is reckless.

White men

know more than your disregard
for that flag.

My son is young.

Your son does, you know, honor.

You come to speak?

Yes, I come to speak the truth.

Are you
and I get ready to k*ll each other?

Your real enemy escapes you again.

You let me my wagon train
my people, go in peace.

I will give you as much ammunition
and as many horses as I can spare.

I will give you food for your women
and your children.

You'll offer what is already mine.

Has your braves

to decide for themselves
if they want to die.

There is your answer.

White man.

My son.

Swift Cloud demands the first life.

If the great chief of the tricolor

has no honor,

tell your son.

Go ahead

told me,

tiny man.

I don't have

life.

I wish the Major hadn't gone.

Yeah, Them murdering c*ck.

Grandpa
thought maybe you'd like some coffee.

You made extra. Well,
thank you. Tommie, Will you join us?

Sit down some.

Oh, thanks.

That fire lights up a good target.

Cheer
a coward. Don't k*ll after dark Noon.

Why is that, Mr. Hawk?

They're afraid they might lose
the souls of their victims.

And they wouldn't have the sl*ves
in the hereafter.

Bloodthirsty savages.

Adams was a fool to trust them.

Oh, the devil
you're trying to do drown me.

Just trying to give you a little drink,
Major.

Well, just give me one, then.

Major. Hold still, please.

I'm trying to put the bandage on you.

You'll need a bandage.

I'm all right.

Anyway, they delivered
you right back to your own doorstep.

Was it a kid in a black and white pillow?
Yeah.

And he was here and gone
before we knew what happened.

Never saw a brave man in my life.

You're going to see more of him
come tomorrow morning at dawn.

He's fire cloud, son.

Little old to be proven himself any. Hey.

All right.

Got out, but that's it.

Sure it is. Of course. Where's my hat?

Right here. Yeah.

Let's go.

It might

hold your fire.

You can't hit anything you can't see.

It'll be getting worse before daylight.

It's kind of hard on the man's nerves.

What's happening, Major Adams?

Those Indians are warming up
to jump us about daylight.

Tell me earlier. Better password.

Tell them they'll be coming.
All right. Like this.

I don't want any more ammunition
wasted on them.

But you stay on the cover, Sonny.

Mm hmm.

At least we got one thing
to be thankful for.

That scream.

It only hurts our ears.

I'll be glad when it's daylight.

I'd rather look down
and listen to them all night.

Don't sh**t till I give the command.

Get down.

Remember.

Don't sh**t till I give the command.

Oh, get.

Away.

It's only a kid

Shot.

Of shot on harder Fire.

The chief son, Warren back pay wagons.

All of it.

Well, I'm back here first.

Move swiftly.

Go back to your father.

Tell him I k*lled warriors.

Not helpless boys.

I'll get my horse.

Bill.

Major, that fire stick.

You are asking a lot.

Well, I never figure to live forever.

Just get the horse with you.

Your son is brave

hard.

His grave is the legend of his father.

It must be bitter

to know that he will never occupy

your lunch.

My son is my son.

He will lead that Shirakawa

because he is already braver
than any grown warrior bravery.

Born of desperation.

You speak with two tongues white men.

You turn your thoughts from the truth.

Let us speak the truth.

Fire cloud alone.

Knock on my.

When you die,

Swift Cloud will claim your lunch.

That is his duty.

It is also the right of any other brave

to challenge the new chief in combat.

That is how you became chief.

I speak what is behind your words?

Because of Cadel your son is lame.

I can see that
light is heavy on your heart.

I speak the truth.

It is in your own thoughts.

Bravery will not save your son
in hand-to-hand fight because he is lame.

He will not even be k*lled.

He will
be driven from your tribe in shame.

I do not say these things to t*rture you.

You are a proud man.

I say them out of friendliness

and I offer not to take your son

with me to big white doctor in California.

Your son will be treated as my son.

And if it is the will of the Great Spirit,

he will come back to you
on two strong legs.

These are the things that I offer you
in exchange

for the lives of my people.

That the great chief of the chair of power
think on it.

Not to one knee corny

to only to gluttony.

But to Tommy to see now.

See now,

before.

There's your answer.

Yeah.

All right, everybody, listen to me.

It. Come on, let him get in.

Throws Make every shot.

Come.

Connie Moore.

Tony Coleman, Cena.

Cena, Coleman.

I mean, see it?

Come Moore.

Bottom up.

By golly, you did it

nice way.

Welcome.

Welcome, son.

Let's

see it.

I'm not going to k*ll you.

Let me oblige a major.

Get back to your wagons.

All of you. Run.

Come on, Get up.

Just the way

the son of a great chief obeys his father.

You're going to San Francisco
with me, boy,

I want your word that you're going
to behave yourself all the way

here.

You and boy,

I left this horse
back here for you to ride.

If you could walk
all the way to San Francisco.

What's wrong with him, Grandpa?

Why won't he ride?

He's probably got the notion he's a sl*ve,
Jack.

Always sl*ves don't ride,

Tommy.

Fetch me somewhere. Paprika.

Goulash is only a stool
without plenty of paprika.

Thank,

Grandpa.

What is it, Tommy?

Do you think the doctors in California
can really fix his leg?

Why do I ask such a question?

Oh, no reason.

Don't be embarrassed, Tommy,

To show that you care
what happens to others

comes from the heart.

We are to openly like a badge of honor.

To answer your question, yes,

I think you and your friend
will be all right.

Our Mr.

Pete said it was a mighty fine supper,
and I want to thank you.

Oh, it's nothing major ahead of the meals
Tommy's mother

fixed in Philadelphia
when she was still alive.

Isn't that so? Tell me

he didn't eat or drink anything all day.

Major Adams. Huh?

Do you suppose he's sick or something?

Maybe if I took something over to him.

And if that Indian boy
got his mind set on starving,

there's not much anybody can do about it.

Boy Mr.

Biggs over there.

He saw you

come with him.

You walked all the way to California.

Empty belly

Indians,

Grandpa.

Don't worry about him, Tommy.

When we go to bed, when he comes in here.

Gee, this looks good

here.

Go on.

Be careful.

It's hot.

Blown up.

Everything almost finished, Major. Good.

If your team says stuff, we run around,

Get loaded, everybody.

If you'd like to ride him today, it's
all right.

Really.

I can ride on my grandpa's wagon.

Or maybe we can
both ride him. Always here.

Oh, the Indian boy.

He's sleep.

Son of fire Cloud.

Come in.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

They're only blocked.

My grandfather made this one.

He's a watchmaker.

He's teaching me to be a watchmaker, too.

This is what makes it tick.

MainSpring.

And this little hammer
strikes out the hour and a half hour.

It major.

Well,

I didn't see a thing Scout all the way
to the top of that butte.

This right before breakfast
sure makes a massive belly unhappy.

Not a sign of cattle.

Must have left the country.

Makes it feel like it was ventilated with.

Buckshot.

To find anything.

Not much.

That's Apache.

No such thing.

That's Navajo words.

You find it up the canyon. Always ways.

Any tracks? No.

The canyon floor is kind of sandy there.

And the wind was blowing pretty good
last night to the cover of my business.

What do you think?

Well, that's the kind of trappings
that Cato's g*ng wears.

That's me. I think he's telling us.

With Fire Cloud hot on the trail,
I don't know.

He's long gone for that Canada country.

Well, he'd be local at 5:00.

I'd get between him and the border.

Maybe. Maybe not.

You know, this could have been
laying there for a week

or a month.

A year, for that matter.

Double major?

No, just normal scouting precautions,
that's all.

Major, I want to go back out again.

I don't feel right about things. Good.

Now we can have breakfast.

Another delay.

Only five or 6 hours.

That means we won't get to the springs
tomorrow.

I'm out of water, Major.

So are most of the other wagons.

I know that we must not try to influence
the major against his better judgment.

Blowing My wife's burning up with fever.

I'm getting out of here now.

Alone if I have to.

You're leaving
with the rest of us, mister?

In about 10 minutes.
My compliments, Major.

You shouldn't
let them spur you like that, Major.

You see any water hose
between here in that canyon? Now,

then, we got no choice.

Keep me posted, will you?

All right.

I mean, we're pulling out pretty quick.

I want you to.

To stick close to these wagons that we get
out in a flat country, You understand?

All right, let's go.

What is her?

You're.

Oh, trail's right behind us.

What do you mean?

It's blocked
somewhere on some boulders down on it.

I guess we better circle up, back them
trees and gradually turn left to

change

here.

Some of you, the rest of your home.

Behind those rocks,

kiddo.

You just couldn't wait to.

Get to a trap, could you?

Without us as well off here
as we would be any place for noise.

I'm an idiot. He's not

like that.

You're 60 up a peg.

That's just fine.

We're sealed up behind the hip

to go to me like you're going to try
to dry us out a little bit.

It gets dark.

I'll go up ahead and have a look.

There's one time

I like to see a few of f*cking.

She koa two scouts.

How the one got away.

Fire Cloud.

We break camp before 5:00 and trappers.

There'll be other wagon trains

all I will not go with empty hands

Equal men
beside yourself to remain with me.

Yeah.

Nice way to get out now.

I Do you notice Harcourt now?

Well, he's got a half a canteen of water
hidden in his wagon.

You think that a man
so anxious to die as he is?

I'd like to share it with his friends.

He's not anxious
to die, Bill. Not this way.

We got within 100 yards.

The water, all major.

That kid was camped
right on the edge of it.

There's not a chance to get in through

that one.

You better get somebody.

Thank you.

It's Kate.

All on.

Joe Magi down there is water just ahead.

You can reach it by sundown.

That mean you're going
to let us go through?

But naturally, my friend, you may go
with all your lives and all your goods.

The moment the Indian boy is turned over
to me, you can have your answer right now.

No deal.

But I know you are in need of water.

Major, How long do you think
these men will fly to protect any Indian?

Get out of here.

Gate Leonard General Officer.

He too made cool, ruthless.

Will a clever little tricks.

You think that's clever, huh?

You got any idea what will happen to that
boy if he's turned over to Kader,

you'll be ransomed.

Yeah, Piece by piece and fair trial.

Keep on panel.

He gets a whole body back.

Yes. Fantastic hair.

Sure. Is it? Sure. Call.

I happens to believe that their soul
is distributed throughout their body

and they can't be buried and go to heaven
until they've got a whole body to bury.

Superstition.

Do you and me? Maybe. Yes.

That's not going to stop
Kate from k*lling that boy.

Gonna

remember this outcropping.

A rock right here.

Yeah,
that's where they've got her blocked.

Figured
if we take a barrel full of our gunpowder,

sink it right here,
we can blast a passage right through.

And for the. Dust settles,
maybe we can get. To the waterhole.

And then what?

We've got women, kids wagons.

We can't move any place with any speed.

Major.

No. You was getting yourself k*lled.

So you're all going to be a party
to getting that Indian boy k*lled her son.

Your conscience, Major, not ours.

We've already sent for the boy.

Major and Major have.

He's gone, Major throughthe clouds.

Come. I saw him just a moment ago.

He was storming the horse
Tommy loaned him.

That's fine.

Just fine.

That ought to make him
and real proud of yourselves.

You let that crippled boy go out there
and save your worthless necks.

Brave men,

real brave.

Coming in harm's way.

Why. Once you climb out.

Of the gate on his up and pull out.
Horse window.

So do you want to look around a little bit
more? Annie, meet us at the waterhole.

Don't make sense. Cato keeping his word.

Why in another couple of days
to get it taken out without a shot.

Oh, we better get hitched up.
I got to get this outfit to water.

Well, hey, everybody.

You know, your reporters make out.

Tom is gone, too.

It's gone. Where?

I don't know.

I just woke up.

One of the horses is missing my r*fle.

I'm sure he's gone after the Indian boy.

I imagine so much difference.

But tell me how he knows
how to take care of himself.

We'll get our horses,
William. Right, Charlie, Take this out.

Put on to the waterhole.
I'll meet you there. Yes. Make it.

Are you aiming to get k*lled?

You signed papers to get us to California.

Let him go alone.

Can't you see there's more of his cheap
heroics?

It's a good thing for you that I'm busy.

Come on, man.
You heard what the major said.

Wait a minute.

He let us into this ambush.

Didn't need his reputation.

He's trying to say I'm not the peace boy
or the Indian.

He made one blunder after another.

He's through as the wagon master,
and he knows it.

Maybe you're right, Mr. Harcourt.

Or maybe some of you
should. Be riding with him.

Yeah, that's true.

It's better

you'll have me.

I'd like to ride with you.

All right.

And the others that want to come
get them out and have them

catch up with us.

All right, man, Get your horse.

Oh, I got another

quick bait for you.

You're a fine looking match.

Where the devil is your granddaddy's
r*fle?

Back there?

I guess I wasn't much use switched
cloud got us free, though.

Hey, he did that deliberately.

Sure you did. That's all right, son.

That's just his way of telling us
that we're even with each other.

What?

Yeah.

He's making me a gift to your life
because I saved his.

Oh, I don't know.

There's sure a lot of things
to learn about Indians.

Yeah, we can all learn a lot of things.

I'll see you two back to train.
