20th Century Fox Iconic Western I Broken Arrow (1950) I Absolute Westerns

foreign [Music] [Applause] foreign foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is the story of a land of the people who lived on it in the year 1870 and of a man whose name was Cochise he was an Indian leader of the chirokawa Apache tribe I was involved in the story and what I have to tell happened exactly as you'll see it the only change will be that when the Apaches speak they will speak in our language what took place is part of the history of Arizona and it began for me here where you see me riding since getting out of the Union Army I'd been prospecting for gold off and on and one day I got a message that a new Colonel had come to Tucson wanted to see me the story started when I saw some buzzards circling in the sky buzzer to Smart bird something or somebody was getting ready to die I figured was a hurt deer or rabbit or snake not a rabbit not a dare His Kind was more dangerous than a snake he was an Apache for 10 years we'd been on a Savage war with his people a bloody no give no take War [Music] foreign foreign I knew it was dangerous to keep a fire going in Apache country but the boy's wounds were badly infected and he was running a high fever he had eight pieces of Buckshot in his back and I had to dig every one of them out with my knife I could hear him grinding his teeth together but he never let out a sound for the next few days I panned the stream for gold kept an eye on the boy I wanted to be on the move and I was glad he was getting his strength back quickly [Music] now you've still got a lamp today I must leave now I must go too soon for you for my legs yes but for my family no this is my novice time I am 14 so I learned to be a man I go on trips alone but I have been away too long and I wake you up my mother is crying my father looks for me I think I am their only one now my brother and my sister were killed at Big Creek [Music] my mother is crying he said honey it never struck me that an Apache woman would cry over her son like any other woman Apaches are wild animals we all said [Music] do you pray to killer of enemies not even to life Giver the ones up there oh we have another name Apaches pray for all white men to die but now I pray to keep you safe at Sunset last night I threw pollen to the Four Winds for you attacked boy this is very big against headache and sickness now it is yours [Applause] they could have killed put away your gun I know my people they have been watching us they say I am not harmed this is Clear Talk it says they can still kill this white man is my friend this white man is my friend [Applause] he must not be heard when did my son become a tame Apache father look he gave me life again when the soldiers wounded me where did you meet soldiers it will shame us to say when a party should not do what others cannot know this one he was with them no he found me later he healed me it will be wrong to harm him you do not give orders you speak oh it's home a little wait 90 many dollars for the scalp of an Apache you know that I know then why did you not take his skill if I kill an Apache it will not be for scalp or money why not my people in your people are at War it is not my way to fight there's a way of all white eyes it's not my way you are a woman Maybe it is well known that Apaches do not take scallops either and they are not women he hides something why are you here in our mountains I look for gold and silver for what for yellow iron did not kill we will not kill this time but not again give him his gun [Music] they wanted to kill me all right but they let me go I learned things that day Apache mothers cried about their sons actually man had a sense of fair play how do you say [Music] foreign stop ambush two men were killed and for three others it was much worse because they were only wounded but this was war and it was terrible cruelty from both sides pouching one of the Wounded men and in the pouch there were three Apache scallops so they dug a pit on the ground and they rubbed his face with the juice of a Mezcal plant [Music] learn it learn it well this is Apache land you have no right here where Cochise lives no white man can live take your weapons go let your base not be seen again [Applause] [Music] hey Tom you find yourself a gold man well Holly Terry just coffee for me we haven't smoked turkey today no just call it wipe them all out virtually yes sir I'm Colonel Bunnell you received my message that's why I'm here Colonel what's on your mind I've just been given the command at Fort Grant congratulations my own desire to clean out Cochise and his Apaches from the Graham Mountain area a pretty big orders we'll have all that much room like that like hard this man was in a party of miners ambushed yesterday afternoon by Apaches half of them were killed where abouts was the Ambush that's something he said they wounded Cochise said they got 10 or 12 Apaches out of a war party of 50. there weren't 50 there were only five another one of them got scratched how do you know Jeffords I watched it watched it seems to me most men would have led a hand I was hogtied the Apaches jumped me earlier oh you fought your way out eh they let me go never heard of a thing like that happening to a white man did you John no did you melt no I ran across a water chair car while boy I healed them up I guess they thought they owed me some patches play unfair yes I don't understand you mean you found a wounded Apache and didn't kill him that's right I'd like to ask you why it's what you want to see me about Colonel Jeffries I think I know how we can stop go cheese I have 250 freshmen from Pennsylvania and New Jersey they're smart disciplined Troopers yeah I've seen those followers around I have a good plan I want information from you and I want you to do a little reconnoitering for me in six months the war will be over and we'll have Cochise up by his neck no you won't Colonel listen Jefferson I'm an expert on open field Warfare I have three years you can't even read a map but he and his men know every Gully every foot of mountain every water hole in Arizona these horses can go twice as far as yours in a day and his man can run on foot as far as a horse can run he can't write his name but his intelligence service knows when you got to Fort Grant and how many men you've got he stopped the Butterfield Stage from running he stopped the U.S males from going through and for the first time in Indian history he has all the Apaches from all the tribes fighting under one command you're not going to string him up in six months Colonel not in six years today chance Terry Jeffords I wish I got a scout for me you can find somebody else maybe Captain Jeffords became too friendly with the Apaches maybe he doesn't know what side he's on easy gents I'm not looking for trouble but we don't fight against him you're with him and I've got a right to say that who says so what's your name then Slade I own a ranch only a mile out from Fort Grant even so the Apaches burned my house last month my wife was inside he almost got my boy too seems to me a white man like you would want to see that sort of thing stopped that's right anybody would and why don't you join the colonel staff that's private business slay boring Private Business not when they're murdering our women and kids uh big quick we murdered Indian women and kids started this and amen not just let Let's Get the facts straight here Cochise didn't start this war a snooty little Lieutenant fresh out of the East started he flew a flag of truce which coach he's honored and then he hanged cochise's brother and five others under the flag oh you hear all sorts of stories you want to know why I didn't kill that Apache boy well for the same reason I wouldn't kill your boy or Scout for the Army I'm sick and tired of all this killing besides who asses out here on the first place I don't know Tom I don't think my white man's always done right but we're bringing civilization here aren't we clothes carpets hats boots medicine why I got a wagon load of first class whiskey waiting for me in the East I could sell that at a dollar a bottle if it wasn't for Cochise it's an ambush I won come on in hi Tom I'm out after all this time one single Freight wagon squeezed through with the military the cheese didn't show his ugly face you're gonna send your male Riders on a military guard too I'd take the Army and the Navy no Eastern mayor's gonna ought to come in for seven weeks their patches are shooting my job right from under me well you know Mel I kind of think maybe there's a way to get your mail through a new route can I have the use of this office every afternoon for a while oh what for one one I've got some work for you I want to hire you for maybe almost a moon I want you to teach me to speak Apache good I want to learn about Apache Spirits I want to learn about the Apache ways Apache in here no white man has to learn these things why do you I want to speak to Cochise are you crazy Tom I tell you Mel I'm sick and tired of being in the middle I'm tired of having people like Lowry and even you and Terry asked me which side I'm on I've been willing to take a chance up on cochise's territory to look for gold all right now I'll take a chance on something else coaches will not speak with white men won't stand up smoke signals he will not come to see you no no I want to go and see him to his stronghold that's right no white man seemed to cheese in 10 years and live to tell it well there was a time when you could parley with him well don't try it Tom the ants will be feeding off your eyes oh well that could happen anytime didn't miss it by very much the other day Juan will you teach me I want to speak to Cochise about letting the mail go through maybe even about peace yes I will teach you and for this I will not take any dollars but I think it will end bad I think Cochise would kill you well Mel can we use the office it's your eyes [Music] good enough Apache eyes are quick this says you come in peace they will not believe it but perhaps it'll make them want to find out you've learned to speak our language well you do not yet think like an Apache but you are not distant from it Juan you've been a good guide if I see Cochise what grows from our talks will be from you too last night I heard an owl the worst of all signs it is not yet too late come back with me they will kill you I didn't hear they all won but thank you anyway [Music] if you see him do not lie to him not in the smallest thing his eyes will see into your heart he is greater than other men [Music] foreign country I never felt so lonely and so dog scared my life for three days I climbed higher into the mountains in which the Apache stronghold was hidden [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign of the third day I was nearing the entrance to the stronghold one had told me what to look for I knew then that Cochise had given me permission to enter her I kept my hands visible away from my weapons look at ease [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] patches is the greatest Indian leader I've come to speak to him about the welfare of his people it is known that he respects truth as he respects bravery you hold these for me I'll want them when I leave how do you know you will leave here alive I am coaches speak when the Indian wishes to Signal his brother he does so by smoke signs this is The White Man's signal my brother's far away can look at this and understand my meaning we call this mail and the men who carry the male are like the air that carries the Apache smoke signals now they seek no trouble yet your warriors kill them I have come here to ask you that you let these men travel in safety this male carries War signals against us oh no this is this is used for other talk War signals are sent by the military by special ways oh sometimes they use a thing we call the telegraph other times by men like me you have carried messages against us when I was a scout for the military yes you have fought us yes and the Battle of Apache Pass come with me you're a brave man now hear me I am the leader of my people they do not betray me and I do not betray them we fight for our land against Americans who try to take it you give me no reason why I should not kill American male writers and kill you too you were not asked to come here now writers do you no harm there were Apaches who did your people no harm they were hanged one was my brother my people have done yours great wrong I say this to you as I've said it to them do you think because I'm an Indian I'm a fool you can trick me I would not have come here if I thought that a fool sees only today it is because I respect you as a leader of your people that I think of tomorrow what is it about tomorrow the Apaches are warriors without equal but compared to the whites they're small in number and tomorrow they will be smaller I will not talk of that with you is it not possible that your people and mind can someday live together like brothers it is Strange Talk from a white man your people do not want peace they've taught me that this male can be the first step I asked you to think on it why should that the white man ACT first do you want me to be better than the white man a white man has come here now I ask you to think of your people and look at tomorrow my mind must work on it you will rest here tonight it is my strong wish walk with me so my people will see us together so you will be safe here [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] what is the meaning of the dance spirits of Good and Evil are dancing not everyone can do it if it's done wrong they will be angry over there I think this must be the dance that comes before the sunrise ceremony for a young girl you know that a little bit without words it tells anything yes you are very different from other white stuff and then you speak our tongue try to understand our ways well it is good to understand the ways of others I respect your people Cochise you know what I am thinking maybe someday you won't kill me or I will kill you we will not spit on each other that is how I feel the girl inside the wiki up is in the holiest time of her life for these four days she becomes white Painted Lady mother of life it's good luck to visit her now would you like to visit her yes were you ever wounded in my arm we will tell her but this night only this girl is even more holy than most maybe because she has been away from us for a long time she's very old for this ceremony it's very special [Music] white painted lady I have old walls [Music] but each scar is a mark of love for your people path of your people is stretched long behind you you are the head and you are the heart and you are the blood killer of enemies is your father and you are his son [Music] I have brought someone with me then he is welcome he has an old armund [Music] give me your arm does it hurt you sometimes it will never hurt again your life will be long the good things will be yours the sun will shine for you [Music] [Music] what's her name sincere it means Morning Star warning star [Music] it's called shaving okay the white man had more hair on their faces than Indian so I cut it off instead of pulling hairs off maybe you'd like to come closer and watch me Don't Be Afraid sincere right I'm not afraid but I thought you were skinning yourself no does it hurt no no how did you know I was there I saw you through this this is much better than looking in a pool of water and now I see you what a thing it is yours to keep well if you had it you could look at yourself every day you could see how beautiful you are you know why do you leave stay please it is not fitting up I should have run away quick before why I am not married well are you not allowed to talk to Apache man oh man never young man only at ceremonies or in the dancing now I was told that Apache boys and girls often pick those they want to marry well how can they do that if they do not get acquainted oh they get acquainted there are ways what way they meet by accident where no one sees them like my mother could see me here with you I understand no I I must go I have work to do to pick juniper berries where there I was going to walk up that way myself by accident [Music] I walk this way because I don't know when I see you again when do you go I don't know could she said he would talk to me soon will you come back I hope so [Music] I want to it's important to me why [Music] may I speak truly from my heart it would be all right all my life I've been mostly alone I wanted it that way but when I saw you in the wiki up and you touched me and you prayed for me I felt bad being alone and I knew that I needed to see you again before I left so that I could find out if it was the same as last night [Music] is it the same yes so now when I go away I'll be lonely for someone for the first time in my life [Music] I have decided about the mail if I let the Riders go in safety but no one else there will be no loss it will show the whites what power the Apache has the idea makes me laugh a little it is a good step the seed is small maybe the tree will grow big I'll be happy to tell my people is it State Captain you saw Cochise yourself I try and a lad who would go to cochise's Camp alone is some punkin of a man or a blasted liar I believe Captain jefford's word the word of an Apache murder is something else Cochise said the mail would ride safe I believe him while you were up there with him his Fighters attacked a wagon train just 40 miles east and killed every person in it now the band attacked Pete kleiner's Ranch and killed three men and a boy Cochise never said anything about calling off the war he just said the mail was gone through well if you're so full of faith in the word of an Indian will you lay a little bet on it you name it will you lay three hundred dollars at five riders in succession leave here and five come back you got a bet males piled up no roots guaranteed set but Tom Jeffords and his power coaches three days of riding in the sunshine at high pay uh who's first looks like you'll have to go yourself Jeffords only that won't prove a thing I'll go that'll prove something [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's Duffy he's fat [Music] boys [Music] [Music] see any Apaches a few smoke signals not one live in me hi Mel all right Tom why'd you take so long well if you want the truth want to roll in safe and fourth boy it got drunk took my time to sober up one got through Jeffers but there's another four to go I still think my BET's safe you want to double it a few days after Duffield returned we sent out a second Rider he thought he saw some Apaches trailing him but nothing happened the third writer said it was that peaceful on the trail he almost fell asleep and when the fourth Rider went out I was so proud of Cochise I was ready to bust the days passed quietly and on one of those quiet days they started a wagon train out from Messiah Park to Tucson Colonel Bernal was in charge spectacular country isn't a general I'm not here on active military duty Colonel and I wouldn't presume a town Indian fighter in his business but it cursed some way they were inviting Ambush a lot of Apaches to be hiding over there I'm not only inviting Ambush I'm praying for us why you only got a troop of 75 or so every one of my mule drivers has a gun and I've got 50 Riflemen hiding under blankets in the wagons my eyes are getting old foreign [Music] no Mister no clear cut them off foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] assistant now this is the wagons [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you cut to Pieces 50 dead and a hundred wounded Colonel Bernal killed five thousand pounds of grain every wagon every gun every mule how did Cochise know we had men hidden in the wagons he must have known he knows what goes on at Fort Bowie he knows what goes on here who's telling him who's his spy I say find him and string him up maybe I can tell you mister maybe a lot of us can who little stuff held in here yeah what do you want your last mail writers just come in safe and sound thanks yeah where's Larry you lost your bet Larry don't pay the bet with Tom Jeffords he's a personal friend to that murderer Cochise if you ask me this thing was fixed from the beginning I was at fixed I got both hands in the bar and I'm keeping I was at face I'm your answer I'm no good at Gunplay don't worry Sledge you got friends here just looking for a chance to plug me how would that fact coaches don't do favors for nothing he got something out of this what what did he get you tell us what the guns was whiskey anybody else want to call me a renegade I'll never call you a renegade Jeffords Amanda Laro says you are but why is Cochise so partial to you how come he lets this male Rider through on the same day he wipes out a whole Wagon Train because he gave me his word and he's a man of Honor a man of Honor no Indian's a man of honor the first piece moved in 10 years and you're blind to it all of you we'll have peace when every Apache is hung from a tree Azure 300 Jeffrey [Music] drinks are on me I don't drink on any Indian lover he's a copperhead he told us [Music] everybody [Applause] right here release that man foreign but I won't Scout for you I won't exterminate Indians for you or anybody else I don't want you to scout for me for what then it was my hopes you'll take me to see the Indian Cochise I was told to see a Park New Mexico that you could do it if anybody could I know you're angry you have reason to be but I wish you'd sit down hear me out you know light Army horses apparently does this also Prejudice you against me it depends on how you're rated the Bible I read preaches Brotherhood for all of God's children suppose their skins aren't white are they still God's children my Bible says nothing about the pigmentation of the skin there was a general served on her grad who was called the Christian General yes I've also been none among my soldiers is Bible reading Howard why do you want to see coach Chase if I can to make a peace treaty with him who said you're here the president of the United States with what power full power to make a fair treaty yeah to be changed later no any treaty I make will stand I have President Grant's absolute word on that I'll warn you general I'm not going to sell Cochise down the river why why why all this change of heart in Washington President Grant is eager for a fair peace with the Apaches what is a fair piece suppose you tell me equality the Apaches are free people they have a right to stay free on their own land you mean the whole Southwest no no even co-chiefs wouldn't ask for that now he's a realist but a clear territory that's Apache ruled by Apaches that's what I mean no soldiers on it yes I'll agree to that in principle what else you can talk the rest over with Coach sheast you'll take me to see him then will you go alone without soldiers is that the best way that's the only way I'll go alone I'll leave tomorrow and see Cochise I'll get in touch with you read your Bible for me too I like the way you read it [Music] I give you a welcome your signals were seen and they have been told to go cheese he is in the other stronghold he asks you to wait and be comfortable he will return [Music] I will wait [Music] my feet are tired from trying to find you by accident waiting for you I have washed my hair twice in my clothes three times [Music] how is this soap made it comes from yakuru we grind it up [Music] can't see right [Music] there's something I need to know I've been away almost a moon has anything changed with you no when you went away I became frightened I thought he won't come back and even if he does when he returns from his own people he will look at me with cool eyes but then I I stopped being afraid in here you're trembling you're not frightened to me no only you put such new feelings in my heart I am trembling inside too should I hide it no [Music] oh [Music] [Applause]

in 10 days I ask you to forgive me that one of my people broke my word [Music] the battle I have had no one like you our lives were often mixed at his end we've betrayed our people [Music] thank you I went back to Tucson and for a solid week I studied and questioned General Howard by the time I brought him back with me to the stronghold I knew why I'd been nicknamed the Christian General I prayed that a decent peace would come from the meeting of these two men I wanted it for my country I wanted it for Cochise and his people and I wanted it because I loved a girl I'm told it is permitted to visit for a short time only my mother is inside the Wikia you will sit there [Music] and I will keep sitting here for we must not even touch our hands during the days I am very busy now I prepare my clothes for the wedding I must build a special Wiki up for our honeymoon away from everybody our honey moved out I must also build the wiki up we will live in in all this my mother helps me and teaches me and I try to do is that I think she did when she was a girl and she couldn't have done it neither what is that what does it mean well that's something Americans say it means that I love you not honor your parents [Music] you understand Cochise about the signing of this map I will place my name upon yours Place Your Mark upon mine what is this signing this is a way of showing to all people for all time any agreement that you make this is as we agreed yesterday you will explain it to the others [Music] [Applause] the peace conference has been going on for four days and now for the first time we were asked to approach the meeting place we were finally face to face with the most important man of the Apache tribes they come from Arizona and New Mexico they would decide with Cochise whether there would be peace my white brother will tell you something I have in my hand here a map this is a sort of picture writing it shows the Apache territory 50 000 square miles that you have agreed upon now this piece of paper will go back to Washington for the chief of all the white man lives if you make a treaty of peace this will be part of that treaty if we make peace with the Americans can we still raid the Mexican there cannot be war against the Mexicans either let the white eyes we will talk of this by ourselves now is the time only for questions if the chief of the white man dies what will follow his word is a bond on the chief who follows him do others wish to speak I have a question suppose some white man wants yellow iron and he comes into our country to take it can we kill him such a man shall be captured and given to our military then he will be judged and punished supposedly will not let himself be captured until he has killed one of my men if a white man kills an Indian on your territory we will hang him that will be something for Cochise to see you will go now I will bring you our decision I trust none of it four days ago we were given our territory on a piece of paper today we cannot go into Mexico the American General says no already our territory is smaller where will we get corn blankets horses if not by taking them from the Mexican as we always have the American government will give us cattle we will raise them and trade them for our needs the answer of a woman I am not afraid I speak from my heart you you speak well speak more it is not the Apache way to be grandmothers to cattle Cochise has lost his taste for battle and so he is ready to surrender he throws away our victories it is not this false peace we need but I Know Chief no I say this the Americans keep cattle but they are not soft or weak why shouldn't the Apache be able to learn new ways it is not easy to change but sometimes it is required Americans are growing stronger well we are growing weaker if a big wind comes a tree must Bend or be lifted out by its roots I will make a test of it for three moons I break the arrow I will try the way of peace we'll give my word to the American General tonight those who stay with me must keep my word let all others walk away they are no longer my brothers More Walk Away than stay and I will no longer be your chief I walk away I walk away I walk away I walk away I walk away I walk away who else comes who else comes who else take your women your children your horses your weapons leave our territory I lead you my name also now I am ashamed to be a cheerokawa I will take the name Mexican enemies they've given me the whites will learn it and you will earn it from now on I am Geronimo if Geronimo or his followers come to this territory again let them come with weapons I'm worried they're taking a long time too long I'm worried too boy this is delicious what is it Pony your honor Journal Pony what kind of me said a pony is a small horse General we will try this piece but there must be a waiting time but time for testing three moons why is it needed the white man has not shown in the past that he will keep a peace three-month Armistice it's a good idea [Music] the first stone for every day without War there will be another three moons have passed the pile will be high and we will place a white flag on it and there will be peace my heart is glad Cochise I am not yet glad to talk a piece is not hard to live it is very hard I will wait three moons to be glad not everyone was happy about the Treaty there were those who still thought Cochise was a liar and a murderer another could never be peace until he was dead but the 90 days of the Armistice began I saw things unheard of things that never happened before in the southwest near Ford Grand a Cavalry Patrol past some Apaches they didn't talk they didn't pretend they'd become friends overnight but they didn't shoot two days later the first Butterfield Stage in five years left Tucson I rode with it on my way back to the stronghold [Music] time to stretch Gents [Music] you can believe I thought I can ride through this country
