As he had promised,
General Miles sent troops forward...
1:13:18
...without the Apache scouts.
1:13:20
For the next five months,
they relentlessly searched...
1:13:23
...but the results were predictable.
1:13:26
Geronimo and his tiny band of Chiricahua...
1:13:29
...had vanished deep
into the mountains of Mexico.
1:13:32
It seemed they were chasing a spirit
more than a man.
1:13:49
Lieutenant.
1:13:52
I doubt if you're enjoying
your current assignment.
1:13:55
Nothing personal,
I understand you're a fine officer.
1:14:04
Do you know why
I called you here, Gatewood?
1:14:07
No, sir.
1:14:09
Tomorrow a new policy change
will be announced.
1:14:13
As punishment for Geronimo's resistance.
1:14:16
All Chiricahua living on reservation land
are to be rounded up and sent to Florida.
1:14:20
They will stay there
until Geronimo is captured or killed.
1:14:24
That's a harsh penalty
that he's drawn on his own people.
1:14:31
I hear you and Geronimo were friendly.
1:14:35
Any relationship l've had has never
compromised my effectiveness in the field.
1:14:41
I need you to speak freely with me.
1:14:45
Can you find Geronimo, talk to him?
1:14:49
I thought so once.
1:14:51
There's no way to be sure now.
1:14:53
The signs are that he's starving,
or close to it.
1:14:58
Living on cactus and rabbits.
