:16:02
that the Apache will undoubtedly
enter Mexico for the winter?
:16:05
Mexico presently contains an army
of 30,000 French soldiers.
:16:09
Yes, it's occurred to me.
:16:12
Frank, I am a professional soldier,
I'm not a prison keeper.
:16:17
Now this is something that's gotta be done
and I'm gonna do it...
:16:20
now!
:16:23
Are you pursuing the Apache, Major,
or a promotion?
:16:31
Whatever my reasons are, Frank...
:16:33
you'd better get down on your knees
and pray to God I don't take you with me.
:16:38
I suppose you intend to strip this garrison.
:16:41
I will take just 10 men from the command.
Volunteers.
:16:45
The bulk of my force
will be made up of prisoners.
:16:48
You'd be well advised
not to accept Confederate prisoners...
:16:51
even if they're forthcoming.
:16:52
In my absence,
you'll assume command of the garrison.
:16:54
Discharge all duties
incumbent upon that command.
:16:57
I have, as you can see...
:17:01
appended to your orders
a statement over my signature...
:17:07
to the effect that I assume
total and complete responsibility...
:17:10
for all such actions.
:17:12
Here. Does that cover it?
:17:18
No, sir.
:17:19
I consider it my responsibility
to notify General Carlton...
:17:23
of what I believe to be an irresponsible
and dangerous course of action.
:17:27
- Do your worst.
- You could be shot for this, Amos.
:17:31
My executioners will have to stand in line.
:17:36
That's all, Captain.
:17:47
Corporal Tinney!
:17:51
Sir?
:17:53
Where in hell is Lt. Graham?
