-Afternoon, gentlemen. Ma'am.
-Afternoon.
:15:15
l'm Lt. Collins
of the Second Squadron of the Fifth.
:15:18
What can we do for you, Lieutenant?
:15:20
-That depends.
-On what?
:15:22
We've been dispatched
from Fort Crittenden...
:15:23
to make a wide sweep south...
:15:25
in an attempt to contact any and all
Chiricahua in the area.
:15:29
Reports indicate they may be
massing along the border.
:15:31
Can't be more than 50 of them left
in the whole territory.
:15:35
According to our scouts,
there's well over 100.
:15:37
That including the squaws, Lieutenant?
:15:40
l take it you don't think
the lndians are dangerous.
:15:42
They're worse than that. They're hungry.
:15:44
Nothing as deadly as
a half-starved Chiricahua.
:15:46
Well, then, we agree.
:15:48
Do we?
:15:50
We're heading
for Flora Vista, Lieutenant.
:15:52
Do you think we can make it
without running into trouble?
:15:54
Well, that, l can't say.
:15:55
However, l strongly recommend
that you swing this wagon around...
:15:58
and head on back the way you came.
:16:00
Unfortunately, the military has
no jurisdiction over civilians.
:16:03
But if you have any regard
for the safety of the lady...
:16:06
l'd think twice
before continuing on south.
:16:09
Good day, ma'am, sir.
:16:13
Forward, ho.
:16:27
Seems like it gets harder and harder
to get to California.
:16:30
Seems that way.
:16:32
You're going on south,
aren't you, Mr. Stride?
:16:36
Far as l can.
:16:38
Well, why can't we stick together?
:16:39
-l realize there's a risk involved, but--
-Look, Mr. Greer.
:16:42
You can swing west here
as well as at the border.
:16:44
A day will put you on the side
of the Gila River.
:16:46
All you have to do then is keep it
to your right and follow it on in.
:16:49
Shouldn't ought to take you more than
four days out of your way.
:16:53
l've been obliged to know you.
:16:56
Stride...
:16:59
l'm not going to head west
and l'm not turning back.
