We destroyed the soldiers wagon train. This is a story about the American West. The story of the men and women
who pioneered the frontier with a courage and tenacity that will forever
stand bold in the pages of men's history. If the characters in our story
appear to be larger than life, give the impression
they do not belong to reality. It is because the men and women
they are portraying were larger than life and lived the reality that is unique
and inconceivable to us. Many of these brave men and women died attempting to tame this wild country. And all those who survived
suffered in one way or another from the intense hardships
they had to face. But they survived. Howdy Jake New Caption Everything all right? Yep. - Did you have a good trip?
- Yea pretty good. Hey Mary, Joe is back. do we plant tomorrow? We shouldn't leave it too late, you know? Yeah, you're right. Tomorrow, huh? I was thinking about that barn wall. What do you say? All right. Tomorrow we'll finish the bond then and pray

this is for George. You can take command of your platoon. As soon as I get a large army,
I'm going to conquer the whole world. And this is for Katie, the prettiest
little girl in all of America. And George, you listen,

for my Katie. Diego, Why don't you tell them dinner's ready? And the Bible is for us. Here, put it around your neck, George. There you are, darling. Now be a good girl and don't lose it. It's precious, all right? Charge! - You all right, general?
- Present, and correct ma. What am I going to call my dolly? Oh, my goodness,
that's important, isn't it? I don't know. You'll think of
something tomorrow, huh? - Thanks, Annie.
- Enjoy your dinner. Is Uncle Jonathan still down at the creek. He was there all day yesterday,
and I imagine he went there this morning. He's really crazy. (addresses the troops) Hear my orders! At 06:00 hours tomorrow. We will ride southeast and engage
the enemy near the mouth of "Rattlesnake Canyon". Come along, Katie. You can play with her in a minute. She shouldn't be here at the table. Come on. Lord, thank you for the food on this table and pray for
forgiveness of our sins of today. Can I get down, go play with my darling? I don't want any dinner.
I don't feel hungry. And the lord, talked to Moses
and commander that he brings... So, man, I'd now like to wish
all of your good luck and... - I think we should wait for uncle Jonathan.
- No. (distant voice) Well, we may as well begin. Now, come on, come on,
you must try to eat part of it, at least this is for the baby. This is for Katie. Forward, march! Jacob? Jacob, another courageous man gone. I, big chief "Hot And Cold Running Water" leader of the tribe
known as Waka Waka. Now advise this council
that we are at war. We have many enemies
who are trying to rob us of our land in virtue of silver clouds, great value. It's been agreed
that he should lead the man. Thank you, "Winding Brook". I shall take great pride
in destroying our enemies. Silver cloud. The warriors of the tribe known as Coko
will be under your command as well. - Death to our enemies.
- Within two moons. Many of our enemies will have passed forever
to the great hunting ground in the sky. At one of our enemies
will survive the assault our courageous warriors will make on them. It has been decided
the all of our enemies shall die, and those lands that have been stolen from us will be returned to us once again. (speaking native language) The great God is over his head,
he is with you. I've just had bad news. The whole column of our regiment was early this morning ambushed in
Waka Waka country and totally wiped out. They didn't stand a chance. - Here we go again.
- I'm afraid we're all going to be killed. Your man will ride out immediately. We'll find and destroy
the enemy at all costs. Civilian volunteers
will be gratefully accepted. Any questions? No? Then I wish you good luck man. Now follow this trail just below "Bison Flaps". This information came from a reliable man, and it shouldn't be difficult
to find our camp. Yes, who is it?. Private Austin, sir, I've come from Fort Nulo general's orders. We need arms, ammunition
and an escort urgently. Right. Lieutenant Wilson, get
all our wagon and started loading. - Yes, sir.
- When you're finished,
come back here and I'll give you - your orders.
- Thank you, Colonel. Hey, Lieutenant. You mind if I go off and see an
old buddy of mine for a few minutes? No, I wouldn't let him do that. Otherwise he'll just disappear. You see that "old buddy" of his is Janice,
Janice and Jacky. Jealous or something Bogarde? Yeah, I like to get
a little of that one day. Just be back here
and prepared to leave by midday. Yes, Sir. - Hey Janice!
- Fred! It's mighty pleasing to see you again. I thought you'd lost your scale by now. Look, back to the enemy. Let's drink to your success
in this lieutenant. This is your first real mission. Could be dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Take good care, Lieutenant. The ones who should take care
are the enemy, sir. You know, I'm a terror when I'm aroused. Yeah. With Wilson on the warpath,
I wouldn't like to be in their moccasins. Come here! I wonder what that bastard
Olson has got that I don't have. Anymore of this and I'm going
to get Olson to give us a hand. I come in peace. Peace is not a word I understand. What brings you here? My name is Mr. Hoppy, funny name, and I got it because my father went with my
mother only for recreation. Look, I got some real
important information for your boss. Chief "Natural Gas". Column of soldiers, dozens of guns. Greetings to you, great chief "Natural Gas" That is great chief "Hot And Cold Running Water",
not great chief "Natural Gas". - Oh, sorry.
- Now then, tell him what you told me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right. Great chief "Hot And Cold Running Water". I have information
regarding soldiers and guns and I'd be willing to tell you where they are. For a measly couple of punds of gold dust. Yeah. Just pound or two of gold dust. I'm sorry but I want the
information first. Speak the information speak. I speak. A column of soldiers in a wagon
full of arms and ammunition is leaving Fort Mason at midday today. And they're going to Fort Nolo. That'll only be an escort and 10 soldiers that's all. I'll be seeing you. Greasy scalp is yours. I'm sorry but I could not resist the shot. and you courageous warrior were more than a little scared. Great Gods put a wonderful
accuracy in your iron hand. You shouldn't chew that straw. You never know where it's been. Dear Janice, you're mighty
pretty girl, you know. - You got me hooked on your bait.
- What, really? How nice. You know I like you, don't you? You're very special to me, you know. So listen darling, why don't we get married? Oh, great snakes, - I'm late.
- Oh, yeah. You know, Freddy dear, I hit
you over the head with a hot iron. Why my pretty? Look, I didn't mean
to hurt you in any way. You know, I got be back soon or I'll be jailed. Listen, Janice, I got myself
picked for this escort - just to get over to see you.
- Oh, Fred. Believe me, it's true. Besides, I ain't the marring kind. - you ???
- So long, sweety pie. The great god Sowah is
helping and protecting us. One of the enemy has come to us
with information in exchange for a bag of gold. He told us about a column of soldiers
who are riding to Fort Nolo, they're guarding a wagon full of arms
and ammunition, which we will take. We thank the god Sowah. I've been told that the enemy informer
is now food for the birds. They got to eat like everybody else. A pig deserved it. Our enemies will not survive
long with silver cloud in the saddle. It was a great mistake
to kill the informer like that. He could have double crossed us. And told the enemy what we plan. A man like that makes a rat look moral. He is no more trustworthy
than a rattlesnake. Silver cloud is forgetting one thing. He's not the chief of a tribe. And green bean is forgetting that I am
chosen chief for the Warriors for now. Any decisions that
pertain to the defense of my people in this time of war
can and shall be made by me. I have proved my courage in battle and the love I hold for our tribe
by those acts of courage. Do you not not recall how I single handedly baited
a column of our enemies and led them into
the valley of the snakes. They were coming to destroy our village and instead I, "Silvercloud" led them to their own destruction. The mighty God Sowah wants another proof of "Silverclouds" great prowess as a warrior and a leader. He has spoken! The best of luck, Lieutenant. See you in about three days. Right, Colonel. Thank you. Good luck, see you soon. Still thinking about Janice? Oh, good, why don't you shut your mouth and mind your own business? It's all your fault, you know, "Silvercloud",
you make more noise than a road drill. Squirrel is a bit faster
than you will Awana. Does Silvercloud still have the love amulet given to him, by Loana? Of course. You can't imagine that "Silvercloud"
would not wear it, could you. He has never taken it off. And he would wear it for always. Your words warm my heart. The way the Sun's raised, "Silvercloud" has two hearts. One for living and one for Loana. I feel cold, I feel it in the spirit. A cold that makes my soul shiver. And everything is darkness. Loana, what the hell are you saying? When the sun has set and the moon has risen
in the night sky, I hear voices. They tell me about strange happenings about me and Silvercloud. And about this, they're trying to say
something, maybe it's a warning. - Hold!
- Anything wrong Lieutenant? No, tell the men we're going
to make camp here tonight. Yes, sir. Dismount! We'll make camp here for tonight. I stand first guard.
Corporal Bradley, you relieve me. Then Johnson, Roberts, Jackson, Gordon, Bogart and Austin,
we do one hour each. And keep your eyes and ears open it may
look peaceful, but I smell trouble. That's enough, Uston. I want you sober when you're on guard. (drunken babble) Come on, Fred, let's go. Get your hands off me. Hey, Fred. Why don't you get
some rest, Fred? Come on. Tomorrow we've got a long ride. - Crazy.
- Where are you going, Austin? Yeah. Where are you going? You could get scabbed
in those bushes. Smatter scared of the bushes, are you? Well, listen I'm not scared of anything. - Fred...
- They killed my wife. Yea, they killed my little darling!
They chopped off her head. and killed my son as well. When I got back to the ranch they were dead! My wife and my son! (drunken babble) Where are you going? Hey, Fred! For Christ sake come back here. Oh, shut up. Can't a man take a piss in peace? Hey, Frank, wake up it's your turn. Come on, wake up. Give me that rifle. Go to sleep. How are you doing? Hey fella. Let him live. We can use him and
the lieutenant. They got me, darling. I'll be joining you soon. We'll talk over old times. Oh, my God. They killed them all. Did you see it darling? They killed them all. Hello, darling. Ow, By the Sowah, we thank you. Welcome back "Silvercloud". I love your makeup, darling. Oh, you should it
took me all of an hour to put it on. It's beautiful, darling, though. I think maybe you need less pan stick. Lead me to, lead me to Colonel Morrison. Hey, didn't you hear me?
Play something else, Charlie. I like this. Who do you think you're talking to? It's bad form, passing out
at this time of the evening. I'm sorry about this Colonel, I had one slip to many. Good evening men, sit down. sit down. No money. No saggy pagging. - One card.
- Two for me. Why, what an honor. - Colonel Morrison.
- Hold right there, my little papito. Wait a minute. I don't want you
to give my man any wrong impression. We're just good friends, you know. Well, Colonel, we've heard that
you're an old hero. Many battles (mumbling) Listen, men. I would like to introduce Pepita
thats a Mexican name given to her by general "Loping Lopez"
when she was living down in old Mexico. She's no more Mexican
than any of us are actors. I'd love to get to know you
a little better. You would, wouldn't you. Play something for us, Charlie. Right, I'll play the real old goody "Susan is here again". Wait a minute. He's playing my part
without even asking me to sing altogether. Come on. They attacked us... all dead, they are all dead. Say something! What have they done to you? Gentlemen, it's serious. The enemy is beating us again. They not only killed a lot of good men, but stole a lot of guns and ammo. Give me a hundred man and I'll clean up
the whole country for you, sir. And I go with him, sir. It's not as easy as all that. It's not that easy at all. They're like, ???, start tracking them
and they just disappear. The only way is to locate
and destroy their villages. Captain Thorton, get the men and get them
plenty of ammunition. We leave immediately. Got to find their village this time. Half an hour. We ride at dawn. And I swear to God on high. We will destroy the enemy. You, "Silvercloud" must prove your worth
to the great God, Sowah again. He who win shall lead the Warriors. The proof has been given. You "Silvercloud" have again
shown your courage and skill, you will remain as leader of our warriors, the great God, Sowah is leading you
to our chiefdom in our tribe. What's wrong, Loana? It appears as if your heart
is empty of joy. Yes, I can see it now. It is you. I'll look after you Geroge. You're going to be all right. And this is for Katie, the prettiest little
girl in all of America. And George, you listen,
you're not to touch this doll at all, she's mine
and you're not going to play with her. - Hey, Pa, you're back.
- Pa, Pa! No! No! The sun Loana, the sun. It is the essence of life. The warmer, the healer, the cleanser. Without it, nothing would grow. Nothing would survive. Nothing would exist. Water. I just heard something let's get undercover. Down. It could be a trick. Well. Spread out. Keep your eyes peeled. I killed three enemy. When will the bloodletting stop when we get our land back. Why is Loana here with the prisoners? Return once to your tipi Loana. No, the prisoners need help. I don't understand your words. The prisoners must die. - Why?
- We are fighting a war. That's why. But why do we have to fight at all? Squad. We found a camp, sir. It's about an hour's ride to the east. It's real quiet and practically unguarded. Good, thank you, Sheldon carry on. - See, the men are ready to attack.
- Right Colonel, at once. Don't move. My God... my God In the name of our great president and the governor of this hail County. I declare this a victory, a great victory. All of your men acted
with fantastic courage. Thank you. Today, we have eliminated
those directly responsible for what had become a festering wound in a pattern of our peaceful existence. This heroic battle will go down in the annals of history. Let's honor our men
who died in this battle. - Captain McMurray.
- Sir? Take charge of the burial detail
and destroy the rest of this camp. - Yes, sir.
- The prisoners come with us. Squad forward march! Silvercloud I'm going to the happy hunting ground. I'll be joining with Sowah, the great God. Listen carefully, my son. Loana was born to one of our enemies. I killed her parents and
brought her up as if she was a daughter of mine. Loana... Loana Listen, "Silvercloud" you've got to marry her. Like that, no one will ever
learn of her origin. You understand if they do you would forfeit her. you must defend our tribe, my son. They're relying on you "Silvercloud". There's nobody else. I know that you can lead with honor and coverage. It is piece that they need and you can attain it. You're the chief now, "Silvercloud". And I know, that the great
God Sowah will fight. I just I... go and save Loana. So this girl. Yes, chief daughter Loana. Saved your life, Lieutenant. Colonel sir, I know it's hard to swallow,
but that's how it was. If it weren't for her,
Lieutenant Wilson would be dead. There's not much I can say, because nearly
all that time I was unconscious. How is that wound
healing now, Lieutenant? Fine, thanks. It's pretty well healed. In fact, I think I'll be able
to take off the dress for good today. You know, there's one thing
that bothers me. Luana has a medallion
she wears around her neck just like mine. - Her father apparently gave it to her.
- And he's dead. So there's not much chance of asking him. Captain Thompson. In the morning, the prisoners are to be put on trial. Pick out a firing squad. There are going to realize that
Colonel Monson's a patriotic American. I take over. Go and have a drink. Thanks, Will. Just the doctor ordered. Hanks in the saloon. Keep your eyes open, will you? Not much they can do now. Just do as I tell you
Will and you live to be as old as I am. Oh, good even Lieutenant. - So you got the colonel's orders.
- Sure. But you can talk to them. You saved my life Loana. I want to help you. Tell me, Loana, do you still have
that medallion, just like mine. Where did you get it? I've lived all my life on the prairies. My protector and father
taught me about the earth and the water and the way that that nature is. He explained that there is enough food and meat
for all the people on the earth. So why do. Men kill each other? Well, I, I don't know why they do, though
I know your chief with a band of warriors
were the ones who killed my family. So there is the answer. It's caused by a vicious circle
of vengeance and hatred. Why did your people take our land? Kill off our bison drive uns into
areas where we could not survive. If you had come as friends, we would have
gladly shared it all with you. But you didn't. You came as conquerors. And now there's no peace between us. But we must maintain peace and bury the hatchet of war or men
will destroy everything. You're right. But "Silvercloud" doesn't think like that. He's still killing, he's still
on the warpath. Because we're still at war. Agree to leave our people in peace. And I know "Silvercloud" will leave you in peace. I'm Colonel Victor Frederick Munsen, as commander of this country's military, and by virtue of the power invested in me by the president of the United States
of America, hereby order that. Firstly, the prisoners
that are here in our custody today are to be sent to special areas designated by us
where they are to live under protected conditions until such time
as these orders are taken. Secondly, it is forbidden for others
to enter these areas unless special orders are obtained. As for the prisoners that is ordered here, that they are forbidden
alcohol of any kind and anything else that might affect their peaceful compartment, breaking
this law will carry the death penalty. Thirdly, prisoners may not own or use guns or any type of weapon
that might be termed lethal. Fourthly, any prisoner who refuses to go or for any reason
leaves his designated area, will immediately forfeit his freedom and go to jail, where he will remain until he has shown
the authorities that... I come in peace. Colonel Munson, I "Silvercloud" stand ready to offer myself as prisoner an exchange for these of my people,
that you have here this morning. If you let them go and I as the chief, will guarantee
that the war between us will be ended. The great God, Sowah will strike me down
if I lie with these words, I will swear also on this,
your sacred book. Yes, Lieutenant. It belonged to your father. Kill them all, I say. Get back here, get back! - All right, get back.
- Move it back here. Hurry up. Come on. The sun, Loana, the sun. It is the essence of life. The warmer, the healer, the cleanser. Without it, nothing would grow. Nothing would survive. Nothing would exists.
