:09:00
- I'll close it...
- Colonel...
:09:02
Reporting as ordered.
:09:07
All right, gather around.
:09:21
The tricky business
is to get past Grant's line.
:09:24
So we'll swing way out around it.
:09:27
Fewer sentries.
:09:29
We'll head for his back door,
through Blackwater Swamp.
:09:32
About a 50-mile route.
:09:35
- Lf we can...
- Colonel? Pardon me, sir.
:09:38
You're saying we'll plow through
Blackwater?
:09:40
- That's one big swamp.
- That's my gamble.
:09:42
Nobody will expect us, because
nobody'd believe we could cross.
:09:46
If we can get to the plantation
by tomorrow night...
:09:49
...we'll hide till dawn...
:09:51
...take care of whatever Yanks
are there.
:09:55
- And then...
- I crack the whip.
:09:59
That's what I'm here for.
:10:03
Cavalry under General Hampton
will cover our flank on the return.
:10:07
General Lee's ordered a diversionary
attack to hold the enemy's attention.
:10:12
His artillery will be our sig...
:10:15
That's it. That's Lee's artillery.
:10:18
Our signal to ride. Let's go.
:10:24
Bugler, call the men!
:10:27
Colonel Kelly.
:10:39
That book's not closed...
:10:42
...yet.
:10:57
If anything happens to me...
:10:59
...kill him.
- Yes, sir.
