:27:00
Wait for us.
:27:02
No, I don't think I will.
:27:06
Answer me something.
:27:08
If you think custer's so infernal bad,
:27:12
why do you ride with him?
:27:14
It's better to know a devil
and confound his purpose
:27:18
than to just leave him be.
:27:22
The vision of sitting bull
:27:25
inspired many warriors
to leave the reservation.
:27:27
They pledged themselves to the
death to defend the sacred paha sapa.
:27:32
Sitting bull moved the people
:27:33
to the banks of the river
called "the greasy grass,"
:27:36
where the game was plentiful.
:27:39
There the warriors readied themselves.
:27:41
They waited for the day the
sky would rain long knives.
:27:51
What did you see, mr. Wheeler?
:27:54
Horses.
:27:55
Horses?
:27:56
More than i could count, sir.
:27:58
Looked like a brown wave across the hills,
:28:00
just on the other side of little bighorn.
:28:03
We will strike the village immediately.
:28:07
Sir, with all due respect,
:28:10
I think it best that we wait
for our reinforcements to arrive.
:28:14
I will not risk the chance
of our quarry escaping.
:28:17
Major reno will lead
his men across the river
:28:19
will all due haste to
flush out the hostiles.
:28:21
I will lead 5 companies north
to cut off the indians' retreat.
:28:26
Yes, sir.
:28:50
If I go to other side,
:28:52
I go as crow, not white man.
:28:57
Deliver this to captain
benteen in our left flank.
