:30:00
There it is, colonel. Just the way
you saw it in that crazy dream.
:30:15
With the genera"s permission...
:30:16
...I'd like to remind the general
I warned him about this.
:30:20
My judgement was correct all along.
:30:22
Absolutely correct.
:30:24
I gambled Lee would risk his cavalry
and he did. He did.
:30:27
The herd is big for Rossiter,
and he's big for Hampton.
:30:30
- Hampton?
- He was sighted, just as I planned.
:30:33
I knew what that beef meant
to the Rebs.
:30:37
Colonel Jacobs is ready to ride.
:30:39
- What's his strength?
- About 6000.
:30:42
Excellent. Jacobs is to proceed down
the Jerusalem Plank Road...
:30:46
...and if he's fast he'll have
Hampton by the throat.
:30:49
Which might never have happened...
:30:51
...if I'd listened to your request
for more troops.
:30:54
What are you waiting for?
:30:58
Detect my strategy, major?
:30:59
Yes, sir.
:31:01
Now, major. Question:
:31:04
How do you believe Rossiter expects
to get that herd back to Richmond?
:31:08
Well, I'd say he's gonna drive
the cattle into Blackwater Swamp.
:31:13
I guess that's how they came...
:31:15
...using the bridge at
Cook's Crossing.
:31:17
Splendid. That's why I'm giving
you my reserves: 300 cavalry...
:31:22
...plus a howitzer battery.
:31:25
Satisfied?
:31:27
Well?
:31:29
Yes, sir. That's splendid, sir.
:31:33
Yes, sir.
