:09:01
131 men of this command
were half a day's march from here...
:09:04
either digging graves or rotting in the sun,
waiting to be buried.
:09:10
I want every prisoner that can walk
on this parade ground in 10 minutes.
:09:15
Including those in irons.
:09:18
Bugler, sound assembly.
:09:27
They're gonna give us a party, Captain.
:09:31
It sure looks like it.
:09:33
You thieves, renegades, deserters...
:09:37
you gentlemen of the South.
I want some volunteers.
:09:42
I want volunteers to fight
the Apache Sierra Charriba.
:09:47
I need horse soldiers.
Men who can ride, men who can shoot.
:09:51
In return I promise you nothing.
:09:53
Saddle sores, short rations,
maybe a bullet in your belly.
:09:57
And free air to breathe,
a fair share of tobacco, quarter pay.
:10:02
My good will.
:10:03
Best offices for pardons
and paroles when we get back.
:10:07
I don't know
what that might be worth to you.
:10:10
But I do know if any man signs on with me
and then attempts to desert...
:10:15
I will shoot him out of hand.
:10:19
From you I'll accept one man
with some experience of command...
:10:22
as an acting lieutenant.
:10:26
Captain Tyreen...
:10:28
does the prospect of serving
under your country's flag once again...
:10:32
seem more attractive
than dragging its chains in this prison?
:10:37
It is not my country, Major Dundee.
:10:41
I damn its flag and I damn you...
:10:44
and I would rather hang than serve.
:10:57
Corporal Veitch just died, sir.
