:39:00
You know, I might just send off
a wire to the colonel.
:39:03
He may not agree.
:39:07
I already reported it. He does agree.
:39:41
Acknowledged and understood. Sergeant.
:39:44
Trouble, sir?
:39:50
I don't know.
:39:52
Hey, Lieutenant.
:39:56
I just got a message
the Indians are up to something.
:39:58
Do you know anything about it?
:40:00
The chief says the railroad's
busted the agreement.
:40:02
They've changed the route and are comin'
through the Arapahoe huntin' grounds.
:40:06
- You sure the chief's right?
- Plenty sure.
:40:08
They're getting the warpaint ready.
:40:14
Can you stand there and tell me...
:40:16
...that one little change is gonna cost
the Arapahoes one buffalo.
:40:20
- Or even one jackrabbit?
- Mr. King!
:40:22
They can be made to see it differently.
Who's hurting 'em?
:40:25
What's a railroad anyway?
Two tracks and a whistle.
:40:29
It's not the tracks they're afraid of.
It's what the tracks bring.
:40:33
The buffalo hunters slaughtering off
their herds.
:40:35
And then the settlers coming in.
:40:37
And when will that be?
Twenty, 30 years, maybe?
:40:40
By then, we'll all be dead.
:40:42
Right now we're just crossing the land.
:40:45
That's all. Land that's safe
to the Arapahoes for our lifetime.
:40:48
Now, you go talk to 'em.
Smoke a peacepipe with 'em.
:40:53
Just get 'em to make a new agreement.
:40:57
That's your job, isn't it?
Keeping the peace?
