00:00:30The End

00:01:00The End

00:01:30The End

00:02:00Got a footman at the stable, Ben. Looks like a storm coming up.

00:02:06Ah.

00:02:08What's the good word from Atlanta?

00:02:11That the market for cotton doesn't look so good.

00:02:14We've been planting too much, Uncle Albert.

00:02:16Cotton's king.

00:02:18The whole self's built on it.

00:02:20And the world's knocking down our doors for more.

00:02:24Now, when I was a boy...

00:02:26Cappy inside.

00:02:28Your lovely wife's in the grief of a...

00:02:31Now, Brax, when I was a boy, I remember the whole...

00:02:37Oh, Ned?

00:02:40Yes, sir.

00:02:42Ned, did I ever tell you about the time I cornered the cotton market in Atlanta?

00:02:47Yes, sir.

00:02:48You did, Mr. Albert, lots of times.

00:02:50I did, eh?

00:02:52Well, I...

00:02:54I didn't expect you back until tomorrow.

00:03:02There was a storm coming up.

00:03:04I didn't want to get caught in it.

00:03:05It's been hot like this all week.

00:03:07I don't think it'll storm.

00:03:09Cappy, Atlanta's a powder keg.

00:03:12They're calling up the militia.

00:03:15Ever since I was a child, I've been hearing that sort of talk.

00:03:18It'll blow over.

00:03:19And they're calling all West Point men to active duty.

00:03:22Well, as they do uniform, I'll go to Atlanta with you and watch you march in the parade.

00:03:27I don't think you understand, Cappy.

00:03:28This is more than just a parade.

00:03:30I've been given a colonel's commission.

00:03:33A West Point graduate, no near colonel.

00:03:35I insist you refuse their offer until they make you a general.

00:03:39You didn't forget the yarns and a new purse, did you?

00:03:42Yes, I did.

00:03:44But I brought you a scarf.

00:03:47Oh, Rex, it's lovely.

00:03:50I ran into a couple of old friends.

00:03:52Really?

00:03:52Who?

00:03:53Will Denning and...

00:03:54Oh, that Yankee boy from Boston.

00:03:56He hasn't been here since our wedding.

00:03:58I hope you invite him to spend some time with us.

00:04:00I did.

00:04:01They're riding up for dinner tonight.

00:04:02They?

00:04:03Who are your other friends?

00:04:05I've been trying to tell you.

00:04:07It's Clay.

00:04:09I knew he'd come back someday.

00:04:13What does he want?

00:04:14See you, I suppose.

00:04:17You shouldn't have invited him here.

00:04:19Will and Clay and I were roommates at West Point.

00:04:22I couldn't refuse.

00:04:24I won't see him.

00:04:26Oh, he can't be that cruel, Cappy.

00:04:28After all, he once loved you.

00:04:30And you've never completely forgotten him.

00:04:33The past is dead.

00:04:34Why bring it up again?

00:04:36If it's dead, you've nothing to fear.

00:04:39It is dead.

00:04:40Come back to my bed.

00:05:06Isn't it a warm evening for a fire?

00:05:16I felt it true in the house.

00:05:19Well, I've never seen that dress before.

00:05:21It's charming.

00:05:23I've had it a long time.

00:05:26You are nervous, aren't you?

00:05:30Don't be.

00:05:36I know how you and Clay felt about each other.

00:05:38But that was four years ago.

00:05:40He's changed.

00:05:42But Clay you knew is gone, darling.

00:05:50Will.

00:05:51Hello, Breck.

00:05:52How are you?

00:05:52Clay.

00:05:53Breck, glad to see you.

00:05:54Our guests are here, Kathy.

00:05:59Hello, Kathy.

00:06:01We're happy to see you, Will.

00:06:04Good to see you, Clay.

00:06:06Hello, Kathy.

00:06:10You're even more beautiful than I remembered.

00:06:14Isn't she, Clay?

00:06:19Well, you fellows certainly look prosperous.

00:06:22What have you been doing to the world?

00:06:23Will and iron ships out of New Orleans.

00:06:25We take cotton to Liverpool and wool back to Boston.

00:06:28Thank you, Ned.

00:06:30How many ships do you have?

00:06:31Four, three masters.

00:06:33But we're looking for the fifth to take care of the new cargo.

00:06:36Did you hear that, Kathy?

00:06:37That's wonderful, Clay.

00:06:39When you left here four years ago, you had nothing but your father's debts.

00:06:42The world is a rich price.

00:06:44But you've got to go out and grab your share.

00:06:46It just doesn't come to you sitting at home.

00:06:49What brings you to Atlanta, Clay?

00:06:51Some unfinished business.

00:06:53Do you intend to stay long in these parts?

00:06:56As long as I live.

00:06:57I've paid my father's debts and bought back his land.

00:07:02So we'll be neighbors again.

00:07:08I know this is a little late, but I don't think I've congratulated you on your wedding.

00:07:12Well, I've often thought of both of you.

00:07:16I brought Kathy a present.

00:07:19May I?

00:07:20Of course.

00:07:22These pearls are from the pirates' market in New Orleans, Baru.

00:07:27They once belonged to Balinese princes.

00:07:31You know, it's, uh...

00:07:33Thank you, Ned.

00:07:34Kathy, did I ever tell you about the time these two fought a duel?

00:07:41We were plebs up at Poughkeepsie on a three-day leave.

00:07:44Will and Clay were courting the barmaid, and she was quite a devil.

00:07:48Our last night there, she decided to date both of them.

00:07:51Well, they decided on a duel.

00:07:53Winner take all.

00:07:54I was to be their second.

00:07:56I've often wondered what would have happened if I hadn't loaded those pistols with blanks.

00:08:01I aimed at a tree and Clay shot at a cloud.

00:08:04Say, maybe you two can give me some advice.

00:08:10I'm experimenting on a new type of cottonseed for export.

00:08:13Will's the expert on cottonseed.

00:08:16Cottonseed?

00:08:17Well, I don't know very much about cottonseed.

00:08:19Come on, Will.

00:08:20I've got some samples in my study.

00:08:22No, Brack.

00:08:22Will doesn't want to talk about business now.

00:08:25It'll only take a minute, darling.

00:08:26Come on, Will.

00:08:28That's where the real profit lies, Will, and the export frig.

00:08:31Now, you take this new fiber.

00:08:32I'm going to experiment.

00:08:33Are you happy, Kathy?

00:08:42Why shouldn't I be?

00:08:50I didn't come to Atlanta on business.

00:08:53I came to see you.

00:08:54I'm Brax's wife.

00:08:56Nothing can change that.

00:08:57How can you stand here and not remember?

00:08:59It took you four years to remember.

00:09:03You've prospered.

00:09:04You couldn't have if I'd been with you.

00:09:07I might have gotten all those things.

00:09:09And more.

00:09:10If you had gone with me.

00:09:13You've four ships.

00:09:14You can afford to buy priceless fruits for no memory.

00:09:17What more do you want?

00:09:18I carried cotton to Liverpool and wool to Boston.

00:09:22On my back as a common seaman.

00:09:27Well, pick me up in a Boston tavern.

00:09:29We don't have any ships.

00:09:31Our business in New Orleans was just waiting for another boat.

00:09:33I didn't care where.

00:09:34I never paid my father's debts.

00:09:36And buying back the old plantation was just another lie.

00:09:38Only these are true.

00:09:42They once did belong to a Balinese princess.

00:09:45But I didn't get them from a pirate's market.

00:09:49They belonged to my mother.

00:09:51I always wanted you to have them.

00:09:53What have I done to you, Grae?

00:09:57What have we done to each other?

00:10:06Hey!

00:10:07Hey!

00:10:08Where are you?

00:10:08We're at war.

00:10:18Fort Sumter's been fired up.

00:10:21What did you hear?

00:10:22We got the news at the inn.

00:10:24Since 4 o'clock this morning.

00:10:25We've been at war with the North.

00:10:28Sorry to break up the evening.

00:10:29I better take the next train to Boston.

00:10:31No, Will.

00:10:31You're our guest.

00:10:32You can't leave like this.

00:10:34Will's right, Kathy.

00:10:35It wouldn't be safe for him to stay in Georgia any longer.

00:10:37I'll ride with you to it.

00:10:38Go to the station.

00:10:39And do me a favor.

00:10:41Don't get yourself killed in this war.

00:10:43I'll try not to.

00:10:44You do the same.

00:10:45There's still a lot of ships we haven't sailed.

00:10:49Goodbye, Brax.

00:10:52Goodbye, Kathy.

00:10:54Take care of yourself.

00:10:55Play you'll stay here until our regiments are called up.

00:10:57No, thanks, Brax.

00:11:01Back heading.

00:11:02I'll report directly to Richmond.

00:11:03get you to the amazed me.

00:11:08I'll be right here.

00:11:17Come and rise.

00:11:27SirPR Snapp.

00:11:27Benリóg.

00:11:27Go and land.

00:11:28THE END

00:11:58You're unapproved of my choice.

00:12:12Claiborne's a fine officer, but...

00:12:15Speak up. What have you against him?

00:12:17Well, I would recommend someone with less, uh, less courage.

00:12:21That's a strange recommendation.

00:12:23Do you want me to select a coward for the job?

00:12:25Claiborne is reckless beyond all risk.

00:12:27He exposes himself to enemy fire in every occasion.

00:12:31How he's come through three years of this war and still be alive.

00:12:34The man seems to be seeking death.

00:12:36A good soldier dies only once.

00:12:39And death is someone he knows.

00:12:43Major Claiborne is here, sir.

00:12:44Send him in.

00:12:45Yes, sir.

00:12:46You know, Lieutenant Colonel, Fitzgerald and Allison.

00:12:55Take a look at this map, Major.

00:12:58I have a job for you.

00:12:59A difficult job.

00:13:01Maybe it's impossible.

00:13:02Sherman's whole army poured out of Chattanooga three weeks ago.

00:13:09They're moving straight along this single railroad and heading for Atlanta.

00:13:14If he takes Atlanta, we're doomed.

00:13:16Our only chance is to draw him deep into Georgia, cut off his supply lines, and destroy his armies bit by bit.

00:13:22The bulk of his supplies are pouring through this same railroad, and as fast as we destroy it, his men rebuild it.

00:13:31What we've got to do is find a weak link in this railroad, so that we can keep destroying it faster than Sherman's men can repair it.

00:13:39And this is the spot.

00:13:44I understand you're familiar with this, Regent Major.

00:13:47Yes, sir.

00:13:49I used to live near there.

00:13:50Good.

00:13:51Now, take a look at this.

00:13:53You'll see the Devil's Mountain completely dominates the railroad where it passes through Snake Gap.

00:13:58That's the one-week link in Sherman's supply line.

00:14:02I want you to take 20 picked men and four cannons.

00:14:05Put them on Devil's Mountain.

00:14:07Blast the railroad and continue to blast it until we can counterattack.

00:14:12General, Devil's Mountain is a sheer cliff.

00:14:15I might be able to get 20 men up there, but four cannons, that's another question.

00:14:20So I believe.

00:14:21But we have a scout who says that there's an inside route through the cave to the top that will take dismantled artillery.

00:14:28General, if I could get cannon on top of Devil's Mountain, I could fight there till doomsday.

00:14:35You may have to, Major.

00:14:37The wagons are loaded and waiting for you.

00:14:41You'll have four 12-pound brook guns, the best cannon we've got.

00:14:46Pick your men yourself.

00:14:47Now, here's the route that we've prepared for you.

00:14:51This territory is within Union lines.

00:14:54You'll pick up our scout biggers at Captain Farm.

00:14:57He's waiting there for you.

00:14:58He'll take you through the cave to the top.

00:15:00Is everything clear, Major?

00:15:03Yes, sir.

00:15:03And stay clear of Monrovia.

00:15:06We don't know how fast Sherman's cavalry scouts are moving.

00:15:09Is there anyone at Monrovia, now, sir?

00:15:14Our latest reports show that it's abandoned.

00:15:17I would suggest that you ask for volunteers and tell your boys what they're up against.

00:15:23Once you wreck the railway and disclose your position, Sherman's men will do everything in their power to blast you off.

00:15:29I want you to hang on.

00:15:31You may have to stay there.

00:15:33So will a lot of Sherman's men, sir.

00:15:36Goodbye, Major.

00:15:38Goodbye, sir.

00:15:39God bless you, Major.

00:15:41Thank you, sir.

00:15:41At ease, men.

00:16:07You don't have to look so brave.

00:16:08I'm afraid you'll all have a chance at being a hero.

00:16:38Goodbye, sir.

00:16:40Goodbye, question.

00:16:41Goodbye, sir.

00:16:41Have a great day.

00:16:44Oh, my God.

00:17:01THE END

00:17:31I don't see any sign of life down there.

00:17:35That's Catlett's farm, all right.

00:17:37Beggars wouldn't show himself.

00:17:39He's inside, waiting for us.

00:17:54It's like the Yankees got to Beggars first.

00:17:57Do we go on, Major?

00:17:58No, Bernie, we're going back to General Johnston.

00:18:00And I'll let you tell him we saw a dead man and got scared.

00:18:04It was just too discouraging.

00:18:06I guess we're going on, Major.

00:18:08Hey!

00:18:10Hey!

00:18:12Hey!

00:18:13Let's go.

00:18:43We've got to slip through their lines.

00:18:45Grease the axles, tie down everything that moves.

00:18:47Try not to make a sound.

00:18:49Jump to it.

00:18:50The moon's getting brighter but a minute.

00:18:54All right, boys, hook them up.

00:19:13The moon's getting brighter but a minute.

00:19:43The moon's getting brighter but a minute.

00:20:13The moon's getting brighter but a minute.

00:20:20That's devil's mouth.

00:20:26Even a goat couldn't climb up those walls.

00:20:29We're not going to climb the walls.

00:20:30We're going up from the inside to the cavern.

00:20:32I've been in these limestone cabins in Kentucky.

00:20:36If a fellow don't know his way, he sure can get lost permanently.

00:20:40I told you I was up there once.

00:20:43Well, I hope your memory serves you right, Major.

00:20:49Smoke down the wall.

00:20:50Let's be a union scouting party.

00:20:52What do you see, Major?

00:21:03Monrovia.

00:21:04Monrovia?

00:21:04What's that?

00:21:05Just a big empty house.

00:21:07There's a small scouting party there.

00:21:08I can make out only two fires.

00:21:10It's a good thing we come up the back way.

00:21:12We'd have run smack into them.

00:21:13Off the wagons.

00:21:14We'll pitch camp here.

00:21:15Wait for the cover of night and move into the mountains.

00:21:17Yes, sir.

00:21:47On limber here, Max.

00:21:50On limber!

00:21:59Freddy, go down to the house and find out how big that scouting party is.

00:22:03Yes, sir.

00:22:04Jerry, break out a rope and lantern.

00:22:12This panel of guns, bring them in here.

00:22:14Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.

00:22:16We don't need them.

00:22:17We don't need them.

00:22:20I volunteered for this mission, sir.

00:22:22Oh, I didn't say, Major.

00:22:24He don't want to miss the picnic.

00:22:26People send Daniel back with the horses, sir.

00:22:28He's a family man.

00:22:30I got nobody but my friend, Deer.

00:22:32If that's the way you want it, Jerry.

00:22:35Thank you, sir.

00:22:41Daniel, get those horses back to General Johnson's wife.

00:22:45Major says.

00:22:46Let's get started, Mike.

00:23:06It's a long way to the top.

00:23:08I'm not going to keep any secrets from him, Max.

00:23:25I don't know the way.

00:23:26We'll have to find out the best way.

00:23:27Hold tight, Max.

00:23:32All right.

00:23:33Stay here.

00:23:33Hold tight, Max.

00:23:34That was mighty close, ain't it?

00:23:59I told you, Mac, I didn't know the word.

00:24:00I was just trusting the luck.

00:24:02This place is a death nut.

00:24:03Let's get out of here.

00:24:04We've got to get those guns on top.

00:24:06Committing suicide ain't gonna do it.

00:24:09Now, Charlie Major, I've been in these caverns before in Kentucky.

00:24:11They're full of blind passages.

00:24:13They lead nowhere if you don't know the way.

00:24:15We can't stop now.

00:24:17We can't go on without a lantern.

00:24:22Yes, you're right, Mac.

00:24:23Come on.

00:24:28Get in now.

00:24:29Hold it in now, boys.

00:24:30Hold it.

00:24:31Get in now.

00:24:33Hold it.

00:24:34Get in now.

00:24:36Hey.

00:24:37Get in now.

00:24:44Hold it.

00:24:44There you go.

00:25:14We'll split up into two-man teams.

00:25:17Each team take a different path and mark its way with chalk.

00:25:20Be sure to tie your own security, check the oil in your lines,

00:25:23and take it a step at a time.

00:25:25There's no telling when the ground will suddenly disappear from beneath your feet.

00:25:28Mack and I will check the possibilities of scaling outside.

00:25:44How's it around the other side?

00:25:53Worse.

00:26:03Just a small squad down the house, Major.

00:26:06Not more than a dozen men.

00:26:08You check, Snagy, up?

00:26:09Yep, not more than 30.

00:26:11No artillery, just a heap of railroad equipment.

00:26:14How close are they to repairing the tracks?

00:26:16Well, I couldn't rightly say so.

00:26:19You've got to get those guns a better night.

00:26:22Uh, any luck?

00:26:24Nah, it's too bad our people all cleared out for Atlanta.

00:26:27Nowhere we can get any help.

00:26:29Say, there's an old man still living down at the house.

00:26:32I saw him picking up firewood in the backyard.

00:26:35What'd he look like?

00:26:36Couldn't see much in the moonlight,

00:26:39except that he walked with the limbs.

00:26:42Mack, you didn't pray to keep the boys moving.

00:26:44I'm going down to the house.

00:26:45I'll join you within an hour.

00:26:47And if you don't?

00:26:48You're second in command.

00:26:50Hey, Bert, come and get us.

00:26:52The coffee's ready.

00:26:57Hey, Bert, come and get us.

00:27:14The coffee's ready.

00:27:27Think of them going somewhere, Grandpa?

00:27:45Has a man get a breath of air?

00:27:49You want air?

00:27:50There's some air.

00:27:54What are you doing?

00:28:01Shh.

00:28:02Keep your voice down, Clay.

00:28:03They're all over the house.

00:28:05Why didn't you go to Atlanta?

00:28:06What are you doing here?

00:28:07I couldn't leave Kathy.

00:28:08Kathy?

00:28:09She's in the next room.

00:28:12Wait, wait.

00:28:15Carrying up bed sheets to make bandages.

00:28:18Sherman will be in Atlanta before you have a chance to use them.

00:28:21You've taken the run of the house, Sergeant.

00:28:23Permit me the privacy of my sewing room.

00:28:25You know Sherman gave orders to burn down every house from here to Atlanta?

00:28:29What's stopping you?

00:28:30Your husband.

00:28:31Sooner or later, he's going to get lonesome.

00:28:35He's going to drop in to see you.

00:28:38We're going to be here to greet him.

00:28:40You'll never get your hands on him.

00:28:42Oh, Colonel Brackson's a fox all right, but even a fox gets lonesome.

00:28:47Oh, we'll get him.

00:28:49All we have to do is sit and wait him out.

00:28:54Want this door closed?

00:28:56When a gentleman leaves the room, he usually closes the door.

00:29:00Yes, ma'am.

00:29:05Kathy?

00:29:06Yes, Uncle Robert?

00:29:08Will you come in here, please?

00:29:29Where's the lady?

00:29:30She's gone to bed.

00:29:32All I wanted was shirt mended.

00:29:37She's gone to bed.

00:29:39Do you want me to wake her up?

00:29:41Gone to bed?

00:29:42I never left the hallway.

00:29:44No one went upstairs.

00:29:45What's the matter, Grandpa?

00:29:54I told you she's gone to bed.

00:30:01See that this is stowed by morning.

00:30:03You'd better wait here until they're asleep.

00:30:24Why didn't you have a right?

00:30:26Why didn't you answer my letters?

00:30:28I did.

00:30:29I answered every one.

00:30:30I just never mailed them.

00:30:32But why, Gray?

00:30:34Yours were kind and consoling.

00:30:36Mine were bitter.

00:30:37Is that what you came here to tell me?

00:30:40I never thought I'd see you again.

00:30:42I didn't care what would happen to me.

00:30:44It's funny.

00:30:46Men die all around me.

00:30:48All I do is get more medals.

00:30:50No, you mustn't die, Gray.

00:30:52Why?

00:30:53So we can be neighbors again?

00:30:55The last time we had dinner together.

00:30:58If the war hadn't broken up, I'd have gone away with you to New Orleans.

00:31:04We'd have taken a ship to Captain, gone to San Francisco.

00:31:07There's a new world making in the West.

00:31:10We could have started a new life there.

00:31:12Oh, we still can, Clay.

00:31:14It's too late, Captain.

00:31:16Maybe it's too late.

00:31:18The Bible says, to everything is a season, from time to every purpose unto heaven.

00:31:28Clay, I've waited so long for you.

00:31:32This must be our time.

00:31:34You left out a phrase.

00:31:36There's a time to be born.

00:31:37There's a time to die.

00:31:39Don't talk about dying.

00:31:41It's all around us.

00:31:43You couldn't have gone all the way through the war just to come here and die.

00:31:47Well, you'll soon have a chance to find out.

00:31:56I think we can go now.

00:32:13What happened to Jennings?

00:32:18Where's Jerry?

00:32:19Jerry and Popper Jennings were a team.

00:32:21The roof broke.

00:32:22Jerry's still up there somewhere.

00:32:23If he's still there, why aren't you looking for him?

00:32:25Where can we look?

00:32:26Jennings don't even know where he lost him.

00:32:28There he is, sir.

00:32:30Well, I'll smell the roof broke.

00:32:32You got lost trying to find me.

00:32:35We'll find him.

00:32:36First, we've got to get these cannon on top.

00:32:38Is there a passage rather than have to take these?

00:32:40It isn't going to be easy.

00:32:42Men, this is Mrs. Summers.

00:32:44Every fourth man, take advantage.

00:32:45Just follow the light.

00:32:46You can't get lost.

00:32:47Every man, carry on a witty cat.

00:32:49It's better to make an extra trip to save your life.

00:32:51Start lighting, Amanda.

00:32:53Up!

00:32:55No!

00:32:56Yeah!

00:33:16You.

00:33:19Here!

00:33:27Watch that wheel!

00:33:38Hey!

00:33:39Look it!

00:33:40Stand back!

00:33:45Stand back!

00:33:46Marker all!

00:33:49Move it away!

00:34:19The wheel!

00:34:33Watch out!

00:34:49That's when Robey are down there.

00:35:03Those flyers are from the rail workers' camp.

00:35:05I remember. It's snake gap.

00:35:06Yes, you can see it clearly by morning.

00:35:09The railroad track runs straight through.

00:35:11How much longer do you think it'll take them to repair the tracks?

00:35:14At the rate they're going, I'd say at least three or four more days.

00:35:19Well, I guess we got everything, Major.

00:35:32We still haven't found Jerry.

00:35:34We lost Anderson and the cannon.

00:35:35Corporal Jennings is out of action.

00:35:37That leaves us 16 good men and three cannons.

00:35:39That'll do.

00:35:40That'll have to do.

00:35:41How do the men get some rest?

00:35:42Then we'll organize a searching party for Jerry.

00:35:44Yes, sir.

00:35:45Well, Kathy, without you, this mission would have failed before it started.

00:35:52After you destroy the railroad wherever you go.

00:35:54This is where we stay.

00:35:56But you can't stay.

00:35:58Sherman will send half his army to blast you off.

00:36:00That's why we have to stay.

00:36:02Take the pressure over General Johnston.

00:36:04But that's suicide.

00:36:06You can help us further.

00:36:08How?

00:36:08I've got to know the exact time those trains are coming through.

00:36:12I'll try and find out.

00:36:14Is there some way you could signal us?

00:36:19My bedroom window faces the summit here.

00:36:22I could signal you by day with a mirror and by night with a candle.

00:36:25I'll post a watch on your window.

00:36:29You'd better go now, Kathy, before you missed at the house.

00:36:32Can you find your way down alone?

00:36:34Sure.

00:36:36Thanks.

00:36:37Goodbye, Kathy.

00:36:38Goodbye, Kathy.

00:37:05Jerry?

00:37:07Jerry?

00:37:07Can you hear me?

00:37:12Jerry?

00:37:13Nothing's moving.

00:37:15I'll be calling you if you're calling me here.

00:37:18Have I found a home good?

00:37:20And why am I going through this?

00:37:22Do you hear me, Jerry?

00:37:24Jerry?

00:37:25Jerry?

00:37:31Jerry?

00:37:32Jerry?

00:37:33Jerry?

00:37:34Jerry?

00:37:35Jerry?

00:37:36Jerry?

00:37:37Jerry?

00:37:38Jerry?

00:37:39Jerry?

00:37:40Jerry?

00:37:41Jerry?

00:37:42Jerry?

00:37:43Jerry?

00:37:44Jerry?

00:37:45Jerry?

00:37:46Jerry?

00:37:47Jerry?

00:37:48Jerry?

00:37:49Jerry?

00:37:50Jerry?

00:37:51Jerry?

00:37:52Jerry?

00:37:53Jerry?

00:37:54Jerry?

00:37:55Jerry?

00:37:56Jerry?

00:37:57Jerry?

00:37:58Jerry?

00:37:59Jerry?

00:38:00Don't move.

00:38:02Don't move.

00:38:03Don't move.

00:38:16Jane, can you see my life?

00:38:18I can see your life.

00:38:19I can see it.

00:38:20I can see your life.

00:38:22I can see it.

00:38:30I can see your life.

00:38:52Easy ranges on snake gap makers.

00:38:54He's right on top of them.

00:38:56About 1,500 yards last night.

00:38:59The only spot we're outranged is from Strawberry Hill.

00:39:02About 200 yards short.

00:39:04No need to worry about Strawberry Hill.

00:39:06Purdy, keep the chains on those guns.

00:39:08We may need to move them about after the action starts.

00:39:10Yes, sir.

00:39:19How close are they to repairing the tracks?

00:39:21I can't tell.

00:39:22The main section gang's working behind the cut.

00:39:25Recheck that range.

00:39:27No, we got a hundred yards to spam, ain't you?

00:39:30Them trains will be like sippin' ducks.

00:39:43How's the leg this morning, Corporal?

00:39:45Oh, I'll be up in a day or so, sir.

00:39:48Say, those peelings, they make good soup.

00:40:00How are you this morning, Jerry?

00:40:02Just fine, sir.

00:40:03Thanks to Miss Summers.

00:40:05She sure is a fine woman.

00:40:07She sure is.

00:40:09Just keep your eye on that second floor window down there.

00:40:13Oh, Major.

00:40:14Uh, Miss Summers told me to tell you something.

00:40:16Let's see.

00:40:17Yeah.

00:40:18Oh, yeah.

00:40:19She said that I should tell you that you should brush up on your Spanish for California.

00:40:24Thanks, Jerry.

00:40:25Thanks for mending my shirt.

00:40:31What is it, Sergeant?

00:40:32Nothing.

00:40:33I'm off duty this morning.

00:40:38You've been following me about for days.

00:40:45This is my kitchen.

00:40:49And it was my house.

00:40:50What is it, Sergeant?

00:40:53Nothing.

00:40:54I'm off duty this morning.

00:40:59They're following me about for days.

00:41:04This is my kitchen.

00:41:05And it was my house.

00:41:09Let me alone.

00:41:10I'd like to look at you.

00:41:12I just wanted to talk to you.

00:41:16Talk to me?

00:41:17What about?

00:41:19It doesn't matter.

00:41:20It's been such a long time since I've talked to a woman.

00:41:23I like the color of your hair and the way you look.

00:41:26I just like to look at you.

00:41:28Everything about you reminds me of my wife.

00:41:31I ain't seen her in over a year since I left Springfield.

00:41:36You can drop the knife, ma'am.

00:41:38I don't mean you no harm.

00:41:41You came here as an enemy, Sergeant.

00:41:43You and I have nothing to talk about.

00:41:46I didn't have a hand in starting this ruckus.

00:41:48I was farming.

00:41:49The first thing I knew, I was drafted.

00:41:51When I left home, I figured it would be for three months.

00:41:53That was three years ago.

00:41:55Home?

00:41:56Why don't you go home, all of you?

00:41:58Why do you come here to ravage our land?

00:42:01I'm only a sergeant, ma'am.

00:42:03I just do what I'm told.

00:42:04Now, this must have been a fine farm once.

00:42:08Not too many in these hills.

00:42:09What did you ravage before the war started?

00:42:12Cotton.

00:42:13My grandfather planted the first cotton in Georgia.

00:42:17It used to go as far as you could see through that window.

00:42:20And we had sheep, too.

00:42:22Merino sheep.

00:42:23Thousands of them.

00:42:24You men slaughtered the last pair we had.

00:42:29Well, we'll soon be out of here.

00:42:30And believe me, we're just as anxious to go as you are to get rid of it.

00:42:33You mean you've given up your plan to wait for Colonel Summers?

00:42:37We got him in a pocket.

00:42:38He'll never get out.

00:42:39If you're not waiting for my husband, what's keeping you here?

00:42:42We ain't got enough horses.

00:42:43Some of the men will have to ride the train.

00:42:46The way they're working on that track, a train will be through here for a week.

00:42:49I've got good news for you, ma'am.

00:42:51We'll be out of here this afternoon.

00:42:54And on to Atlanta.

00:42:55In another month, I'll be home with the wife and the little ones.

00:43:00How many children have you, Sergeant?

00:43:02Two.

00:43:03Both four.

00:43:04Five and seven.

00:43:06You wouldn't have a picture of them.

00:43:09Well, I sure have.

00:43:10I put it away in my haverset.

00:43:12Would you like to see them?

00:43:13Yes, I would.

00:44:49Dirty little spy.

00:44:53Want to see my family's pictures, huh?

00:44:54Uncle Albert.

00:44:55Look.

00:44:56Look.

00:44:57Look.

00:44:58I got you a signal.

00:44:59Uncle Albert.

00:45:14Look, Abby.

00:45:15Look.

00:45:17They got your signal.

00:45:18Please, please, please, please, ma'am.

00:45:33Doctor, please, help me.

00:45:36Ma'am, Doctor, please, help me.

00:45:42Help.

00:45:44I don't see any sign from the house.

00:46:11She placed it, sir.

00:46:12I saw it.

00:46:13Shall I try place in your back?

00:46:15It's too risky.

00:46:16Give away our position.

00:46:18Are you sure you saw the signal?

00:46:20Positive, sir.

00:46:22Then that's it.

00:46:24Watch for the first sound of smoke approaching Snake Hill.

00:46:32Max.

00:46:33Max.

00:46:34They must have finished laying the tracks last night.

00:46:35The trains will be coming through any time now.

00:46:37How do we stand?

00:46:38Number one gun fully assembled, that's all.

00:46:40Give Purdy a hand.

00:46:43Big Пока Hello!

00:46:47I'm searches for YOU, this is something on this.

00:46:48This is illegal.

00:46:52Come on.

00:46:54I should have tried to go.

00:46:55Hey.

00:47:04Oh, my God.

00:47:46There's two of them coming.

00:47:53Number one and number two guns will concentrate fire on the engine of the first train.

00:47:57Number three gun will hold fire for the second train.

00:48:00Set him in.

00:48:04Men, we've got to hit them when they come through the gap.

00:48:14Max, hurry!

00:48:16Reach out your ranges.

00:48:25Here they come!

00:48:26He's waiting too long.

00:48:47We're going to lose.

00:48:48What are we waiting for?

00:48:51The second train.

00:48:52We've got to get both of them.

00:48:54Back to your post.

00:49:03Number one gun ready?

00:49:05Yes.

00:49:05On fire!

00:49:06Rebels on the mountain.

00:49:17Number two gun to pass one degree.

00:49:25Back!

00:49:29Back!

00:49:29Off!

00:49:30Fire!

00:49:31Fire!

00:49:32Fire!

00:49:33Fire!

00:49:34Fire!

00:49:35Fire!

00:49:37Fire!

00:50:04Fire!

00:50:05Get your gun!

00:50:09Get your gun!

00:50:11Get your gun!

00:50:13Go!

00:50:35On target!

00:50:37Fire!

00:50:41Set!

00:50:43Fire!

00:50:49Number one!

00:50:51Number two! Go for the real car!

00:50:53There's got to be ammunition on one of them!

00:50:59Hit!

00:51:00Fire!

00:51:01Set!

00:51:02Set!

00:51:03You can go!

00:51:05All right.

00:51:16It's mine!

00:51:18Yeah!

00:51:20Yeah!

00:51:25Yeah!

00:51:26Yeah!

00:51:28Yeah!

00:51:29Yeah!

00:51:30Yeah!

00:51:31Yeah!

00:51:32Men, that was a good day's work.

00:51:41We've thrown a big monkey wrench into Sherman's campaign.

00:51:44But they're going to bring up every piece of artillery within a hundred miles and throw it right back at us.

00:51:50So eat hearty.

00:51:52Try to get a good night's sleep.

00:51:54It's going to be awfully noisy up here from now on.

00:51:59Guys, how long will the grub hold out?

00:52:02That depends on how many miles you have to feed.

00:52:05Ah, looks like some of us are going to be getting double rations soon.

00:52:14How they doing, Jerry?

00:52:16Lots of activity down there, Major.

00:52:18They're breaking ground for the main camp.

00:52:22Jerry, you've still got a chance to get out of here tonight. You'd better go.

00:52:27I don't see any of the other men going.

00:52:29You're a boy in a man's war.

00:52:32Well, Major, maybe we'll be here long enough for me to grow a big.

00:52:46Come in.

00:52:46We'll have to take your uncle's body, ma'am.

00:52:56Take him where?

00:52:57We'll bury him for you.

00:53:01Tomorrow.

00:53:02Sorry, ma'am.

00:53:03I have orders to do it tonight.

00:53:06Must you take him now?

00:53:08I've got my orders, ma'am.

00:53:10We lost 30 good men, including my captain, in that bombardment.

00:53:13How is Sergeant Harper?

00:53:19He died an hour ago.

00:53:22We'll have to go, ma'am.

00:53:23We have a lot of men to bury tonight.

00:53:24Would you happen to have Sergeant Harper's home address?

00:53:32What do you want it for?

00:53:34I'd like to write a letter.

00:53:37Yes, ma'am.

00:53:39Detachment at Devil's Mountain, Major.

00:53:47Detachment at Devil's Mountain, Major.

00:54:04Devil's Mountain.

00:54:06That's a challenge.

00:54:07What kind of guns were you able to bring up?

00:54:21I only got nine pounders.

00:54:23The heavy guns won't arrive until tomorrow.

00:54:24Put it whenever you have in action.

00:54:25We've got to get them off that mountain.

00:54:31Fire.

00:54:31Keep firing.

00:54:37Still too low.

00:54:53Go for maximum elevation.

00:54:55Try double-shotting them.

00:54:56Yes, sir.

00:55:07They might as well be throwing marbles at them.

00:55:13Well, that's the best these guns will do, Major.

00:55:14They're too light for this job.

00:55:16There's four more supply trains on their way up.

00:55:18They've got to get through.

00:55:19Then they'll have to wait for heavier guns.

00:55:20We can't wait.

00:55:21Every minute is precious.

00:55:22Sherman can't move without those supplies.

00:55:25There can't be too many men up there.

00:55:28But how do we get them off?

00:55:30We'll have to try direct assault.

00:55:31Let the guns keep firing to cover it.

00:55:33We'll make a run for work.

00:55:39I'll take my men up the inside.

00:55:40You men are rescaling the walls.

00:55:41They're splitting up.

00:56:09Some of them are going into the cave.

00:56:10They're going to try to come up on the inside.

00:56:12They'll never find their way, Major.

00:56:14Let's discourage them anyway.

00:56:15Send a couple of the best shots into the cave.

00:56:17Burns, get them off.

00:56:19Party?

00:56:20Yeah.

00:56:20Keep the men scattered out all around the summit.

00:56:23Yes.

00:56:23They're going to try to come up on the inside.

00:56:27They're going to try to get them off.

00:56:39They're going to try to get them off.

00:56:45They're going to try to get them off.

00:56:46There's no use of danger that it takes a year to find our way up there.

00:56:53I've been in the way before.

00:56:55There's a path around here somewhere.

00:56:58Hey, that looks familiar.

00:57:02There's the crystal room.

00:57:04Some far now. Come on.

00:57:16There's a gun by here and straight ahead. Let's go.

00:57:29Our final house in Sherman's headquarters is waiting for you, Major.

00:57:48We all have to excuse us.

00:58:02Certainly.

00:58:05Well, Major.

00:58:07Major, did you get those rebels off the mountain?

00:58:11We lost a dozen good men trying.

00:58:15Two weeks' track work by a hundred engineers blasted to pieces in a single hour.

00:58:20And a month's ammunition for Sherman.

00:58:22I tell you, Major, if those rebels aren't blasted off that mountain in a hurry,

00:58:25someone's head is going to roll for this, and it's not going to be mine.

00:58:28Colonel, when we first passed through this territory,

00:58:32I begged General McPherson to occupy Devil's Mosque.

00:58:35I said we were vulnerable in a dozen dispatches.

00:58:38Nobody listens.

00:58:40You want my head, you can have it, but it won't dislodge those reds.

00:58:43I'm not blaming you.

00:58:45But we can't delay.

00:58:46I've been to see Sherman.

00:58:47He's raising the roof.

00:58:48If he'll send me artillery instead of peace shooters, I'll do the job.

00:58:51Sherman is sending you every large artillery piece he can spare.

00:58:54Meanwhile, we put our thumb.

00:58:56Our command isn't sleeping, Major.

00:58:57You've got one big gun coming fast.

00:58:59One gun?

00:59:00I need a broadside.

00:59:02This Navy gun will do the trick.

00:59:04It's a big 15-inch dahlgren.

00:59:06It can blow off mountaintops.

00:59:08How are we going to mount a naval gun in these hills?

00:59:10It's already mounted on a flat car.

00:59:12It's coming by rail.

00:59:13It'll be here in the morning.

00:59:15But the naval gun will make short work of those reds.

00:59:17I promise you that.

00:59:19I'll hold you to it.

00:59:21Oh, Major.

00:59:23The lady of the house, Mrs. Summers.

00:59:25See that she gets the safe conduct, uh, Captain.

00:59:37Welcome to Monroeville, you're Major Denning.

00:59:40It's been a long time since you've shared our hospitality.

00:59:43I guess this is the Yankee way of returning.

00:59:45No, look, Captain.

00:59:46I didn't start this war.

00:59:48I see only too clearly why you volunteered for this mission.

00:59:52You've been here before and you knew the territory.

00:59:55How many medals did Sherman promise you for taking Devil's Mountain?

00:59:59Thirty of my men were killed in yesterday's bombardment.

01:00:02None of them got any medals.

01:00:05I didn't come here to fight with you, Kathy.

01:00:08Have you heard anything of Clay?

01:00:11I know he's alive.

01:00:14Maybe I should be telling you this.

01:00:17Clay and I almost missed this war.

01:00:21We were on board shipping to the Far East when Clay suddenly decided to get off.

01:00:26That's when we came here.

01:00:28He told me a story about having to see a lawyer in Atlanta about his father's plantation.

01:00:33It turned out all he wanted was to see you again.

01:00:38See you again.

01:00:39I...

01:00:40I thought you'd like to know.

01:00:43Thanks for telling me, Bill.

01:00:47I sure would like to see Clay again.

01:00:52I wonder where he's fighting.

01:00:57What am I going to do about you?

01:01:06The best thing you can do for me is let me stay here in Aurobia.

01:01:09Oh, you heard Colonel House.

01:01:11I can't be responsible for your safety here.

01:01:13You better go to Chattanooga.

01:01:15Let me stay, Will.

01:01:16Please let me stay.

01:01:17Oh, you're waiting for Brax, of course.

01:01:20I have news for you.

01:01:22He's free.

01:01:23He and his men cut their way out of the pocket we had in the box, Tim.

01:01:25Thank goodness.

01:01:26Thank the men up on Devil's mom.

01:01:29Because of them, we had to pull every available man and gun over the air.

01:01:33Brax can't come here now.

01:01:35You may as well wait for him in Chattanooga.

01:01:37Is that an order?

01:01:39I'm just asking for your own sake.

01:01:45Please let me stay, Will.

01:01:48I could never refuse you anything.

01:01:51Thanks, Will.

01:01:54Well, Kathy.

01:01:56I'll have to place you under house arrest.

01:01:58You won't be able to leave the ground.

01:02:01According to the book, you're still the enemy.

01:02:09This operation ought to blast them off the mountain in half a day.

01:02:16Here's where the enemy stands.

01:02:18From the size of their shot, we know the only guns they've got are 12-pound brooks.

01:02:23These guns got a limited range.

01:02:25They can't shoot much beyond Snake Gap.

01:02:27Here's Snake Gap.

01:02:29This is where they blew up our supply trains yesterday.

01:02:32This is a danger area.

01:02:35But their range is confined within this circle.

01:02:38Now, the naval gun is coming down from Chattanooga.

01:02:42We'll stop it right about here at this point.

01:02:46That's a good...

01:02:48That's a good 200 yards beyond anything they can reach from the summit.

01:02:52We'll bombard from this point.

01:02:55Oh, we got them sealed off at the mouth of the cave.

01:02:57There's no way down the tragic devil's mountain.

01:02:59We're gonna keep pounding until there isn't a rifle shot left on that summit.

01:03:03Captain Travis, 4th Cavalry.

01:03:08The naval gun has passed Tresita.

01:03:10It should arrive at 2 a.m.

01:03:12Great!

01:03:13That's a good speed, Captain.

01:03:14Lieutenant, see Captain Travis to his quarters.

01:03:16Yes, sir.

01:03:17Follow me, Captain.

01:03:18It's 1.30.

01:03:19We may as well set up positions.

01:03:20We may as well set up positions.

01:03:49We'll do it again, Captain.

01:03:50We'll come here.

01:03:51Come back!

01:03:52I'm down here.

01:03:53Here she comes!

01:03:57Here she comes!

01:04:10Master Gunner, ensure your gun for action.

01:04:33Lieutenant Flanker, Mississippi Naval Command, sir.

01:04:46You made excellent time, Lieutenant.

01:04:47Will you fix your position for me, sir?

01:04:49Your present position will do.

01:04:51We're a good 200 yards beyond the farthest range of their gun.

01:04:54Will you spot for me, sir?

01:04:56Let me check the ranges first, Lieutenant.

01:04:59I can get a better sight from that rock over there.

01:05:02Bring the transit.

01:05:04Stand by for immediate action.

01:05:05Aye, sir.

01:05:32Hold it, Jim.

01:05:33It's the girl.

01:05:34Hold it, Jim.

01:05:35It's the girl.

01:05:39Hold it, Jim.

01:05:40It's the girl.

01:05:44Hold it, Jim.

01:05:45It's the girl.

01:05:46Hold it, Jim.

01:05:47It's the girl.

01:05:51Clay!

01:05:52Clay, you've got to get off of this mountain right now or there isn't time.

01:05:59Why?

01:06:00I just saw the naval gun they brought up.

01:06:02You haven't got a chance, Clay.

01:06:03That's the engine we heard.

01:06:04How is it mounted?

01:06:05On a flat car.

01:06:06Must be a Dahlgren.

01:06:07Yeah.

01:06:08You can all make it if you leave now.

01:06:09With a Dahlgren, Major, they can lay back outside of our range and knock off the top of this mountain a foot of the time.

01:06:16We all knew something like this was bound to happen.

01:06:17As long as we have a single gun here and a man to fire, they can get a supply train through Snake Gap.

01:06:21That's our job.

01:06:22We're all with you there, Major.

01:06:23Except in that Navy gun, it's changed the situation.

01:06:25One hour after it opens fire, we won't have a gun or a man left.

01:06:27That's a fact that we're all with you there, Major.

01:06:28That's a fact that we're all with you there, Major.

01:06:29That's the engine we heard.

01:06:30That's the engine we heard.

01:06:31How is it mounted?

01:06:32On a flat car.

01:06:33Must be a Dahlgren.

01:06:34Yeah.

01:06:35You can all make it if you leave now.

01:06:36With a Dahlgren, Major, they can lay back outside of our range and knock off the top of this mountain a foot of the time.

01:06:41One hour after it opens fire, we won't have a gun or a man left.

01:06:45That's a fact, Major.

01:06:46Clay, don't sacrifice yourself and your men for nothing.

01:06:49You've done what you could.

01:06:50Now go.

01:06:51Where'd you see the gun?

01:06:53The other side of that rocky hill.

01:06:58A good 200 yards outside of our range.

01:07:01Even at extreme elevation.

01:07:03Remember the engagement at Lookout Mountain?

01:07:06We're out range there, too, but we knocked out the guns.

01:07:08Well, they could load with a double charge.

01:07:10The guns won't take it.

01:07:12The barrels would blow up right in our faces.

01:07:14Reinforce the barrels.

01:07:15All we got is rope.

01:07:16It takes wire.

01:07:17And awful strong wire.

01:07:19Which we got none of.

01:07:21Any fence wire down in Monroeville?

01:07:23The fence wire was stripped a year ago.

01:07:26We've got to knock out that gun.

01:07:30You still have the piano at the house?

01:07:31Yes.

01:07:32Piano wire.

01:07:33That's as strong as there is.

01:07:35It might do the trick.

01:07:40You wait here.

01:07:41I'll be back as soon as I get the wire.

01:07:42You wait here.

01:07:43I'll be back as soon as I get the wire.

01:07:47You're a good soldier, Kathy.

01:07:48I'm going back with you.

01:07:49You're going back into the house?

01:07:50Yes.

01:07:51You're a good soldier, Kathy.

01:07:52I'm going back with you.

01:07:53You're going back into the house?

01:07:54I'll never see you again.

01:07:55You'll see me, Kathy.

01:07:56I'm not ready to die.

01:07:57Not yet.

01:07:58A good soldier, Kathy.

01:08:14I'm going back with you.

01:08:16You're going back into the house?

01:08:18I'll never see you again.

01:08:20You'll see me, Kathy.

01:08:22I'm not ready to die.

01:08:23Not yet.

01:08:25Goodbye.

01:08:28Major, take it back out.

01:08:40Major?

01:08:43Reflection, four degrees east.

01:08:45Range on target.

01:08:50There's two men on that ledge.

01:08:52They've got a tripod.

01:08:55They've taken this side of us.

01:08:57They're really polluting.

01:08:58Get into the cave, Jerry.

01:09:00They'll be firing in a minute now.

01:09:05That's an order.

01:09:07Yes, sir.

01:09:12Start floating.

01:09:14Start floating!

01:09:15Go!

01:09:16Go!

01:09:21Everyone might have signed to a post into the cave.

01:09:24Go!

01:09:25No!

01:09:31How much longer, Mack?

01:09:33Just turned her off, Major.

01:09:34Boys, keep home for both!

01:09:36Fire fire students to the boys in blue!

01:09:38Fire!

01:09:39Fire!

01:09:40Fire!

01:09:42Fire!

01:09:46Fire!

01:09:47Fire!

01:09:48Fire!

01:09:56We are in the position!

01:09:58Fire! Fire! Fire!

01:10:05Start loading! Double charge!

01:10:18Fire! Fire! Fire!

01:10:22Fire! Fire!

01:10:25Fire! Fire!

01:10:27Fire!

01:10:31Fire!

01:10:33Get that engine started!

01:10:34Push back!

01:10:35Take it back!

01:10:37Fire! Fire!

01:10:42Get that gun moving!

01:10:44Take it back!

01:10:46Take that!

01:10:48Get that gun!

01:10:56Set!

01:10:57Fire!

01:11:09Set!

01:11:10On!

01:11:11Fire!

01:11:18Fall by!

01:11:22Bernie!

01:11:23Throw in a couple more shots for good measure.

01:11:25Mike Lespera is dead.

01:11:28Very long, ma'am.

01:11:32This just arrived from General Sherman's headquarters, sir.

01:11:36This just arrived from General Sherman's headquarters, sir.

01:11:46If the gun Sherman was sending, we'll never get here.

01:11:55They ran pushed to Peachtree River by Summers' raiders.

01:11:56Now the mortar got through.

01:11:57It'll take a month to get mortars down in Chattanooga.

01:12:01It might be quicker to bring another naval gun down from Charleston.

01:12:02We could mount the guns we have on Strawberry Hill.

01:12:03Blast them out rock by rock.

01:12:04Strawberry Hill is right in their line of fire.

01:12:05They could pick us off like flies.

01:12:06There's plenty of powder, but no guns big enough to do the job.

01:12:13Just how much powder do we have?

01:12:14Just how much powder do we have?

01:12:15There's a whole carload that we shipped up with a naval gun.

01:12:16That hasn't been touched.

01:12:17We're gonna take that carload of powder.

01:12:18We're gonna mine every day.

01:12:19We're gonna mine every day.

01:12:20We've got a mortar gun.

01:12:21That mortar gun got through.

01:12:22It'll take a month to get mortars down in Chattanooga.

01:12:23It'll take a month to get mortars down in Chattanooga.

01:12:24It might be quicker to bring another naval gun down from Charleston.

01:12:25We could mount the guns we have on Strawberry Hill.

01:12:26Blast them out rock by rock.

01:12:27Strawberry Hill is right in their line of fire.

01:12:28They could pick us off like flies.

01:12:29Plenty of powder, but no guns big enough to do the job.

01:12:33Just how much powder do we have?

01:12:35There's a whole carload that we shipped up with a naval gun.

01:12:37That hasn't been touched.

01:12:38We're gonna take that carload of powder.

01:12:41We're gonna mine every cavern and passage under that summit.

01:12:44The whole top of that mountain is a hollow shell.

01:12:46We'll blow the lid off.

01:12:50Right down tomorrow, there won't be a single river left on Devil's Mountain.

01:12:54That'll do it, Major.

01:12:55I'll get on it right away, Major.

01:12:56All right.

01:12:57Settle it once and for all, sir.

01:12:59I think that's it.

01:13:05We're gonna make them pay for every man we've lost.

01:13:10For every minute we've lost.

01:13:11That's the only way.

01:13:14Heart blow!

01:13:28Yes, sir.

01:13:30Who stripped this piano?

01:13:32I don't know, sir.

01:13:33The wire was in there yesterday.

01:13:35I remembered it distinctly.

01:13:36There'll be no one in the house, sir, except myself and...

01:13:48Come on!

01:13:55That's wire.

01:13:56A piano wire.

01:13:57You took it to Devil's model, didn't you?

01:14:00You told them about the naval gun.

01:14:03You've been working with them all along, haven't you?

01:14:05What if I have?

01:14:08Please let me stay, Will.

01:14:10I should have shipped you off to the prison stockade in Chattanooga the moment I arrived.

01:14:14Maybe I have lied to you, Will.

01:14:17Maybe I have betrayed your friendship.

01:14:20You forgot.

01:14:21We're on different sides.

01:14:23Goodbye.

01:14:24I won't forget again.

01:14:25If I donned Amar, there won't be a single man left alive on top of that monk.

01:14:30Order!

01:14:34Don't let this woman out of your sight.

01:14:36Ship her off to Chattanooga tomorrow.

01:14:38Is that a civilian?

01:14:39No.

01:14:40I was a prisoner of war.

01:14:54Hold on with it.

01:14:55Take to mind the passengers.

01:14:56We'll be ready by dawn, sir.

01:14:57Good.

01:14:58There's one Hagrid with one, Major.

01:14:59What's that?

01:15:00Well, the way this mountain swoops it, there's a chance when the top is blown off,

01:15:03it'll slide right down into Snake Gap.

01:15:05That'll block the Gap.

01:15:06Good.

01:15:07Hold on with it.

01:15:08Good.

01:15:09Part of a week, sir.

01:15:10How long will it take to bring down guns from Chattanooga?

01:15:12About a month.

01:15:13Then we've got no choice.

01:15:14We're floored.

01:15:15How much water are we going to need?

01:15:17Every bit we have.

01:15:18All right.

01:15:19Get your men busy, Captain.

01:15:38You're an awful busy doing something.

01:15:39They're all over the place.

01:15:40I wonder what they're up to.

01:15:41You better get the picture down.

01:15:45When did you first hear these sounds?

01:16:0010 more than 20 minutes later.

01:16:01Sounds like digging to me.

01:16:02Are they trying to dig their way to the top, Richard?

01:16:03They're mining the passage under the summit.

01:16:04The effects of the flow is to kingdom come.

01:16:05Keep an eye on the men.

01:16:06Don't let anyone pass.

01:16:07Even if the Yankee folks have set out one of them passages, I'll blow it off.

01:16:09Yeah.

01:16:25That's right, sir.

01:16:30For now, I never know.

01:16:32That's right.

01:16:36What did Major Denny mean when he said there wouldn't be a man left alive on that summit by morning?

01:16:55You've been asking that for an hour, ma'am.

01:16:58I can't tell you.

01:17:01But it'll be dawn soon.

01:17:03And I'm not going anywhere.

01:17:06Well, you'll soon see what the Major meant, so I guess there's no harm in telling you.

01:17:11They're mining the caves.

01:17:13Gonna blow those men straight off the face of the earth.

01:17:19Sit down, ma'am.

01:17:20You're not going anywhere.

01:17:22Take me to Major Denny immediately.

01:17:24I got my orders, ma'am.

01:17:25But I know those men.

01:17:26I can get them to surrender.

01:17:28You won't have to kill them.

01:17:30I shouldn't have told you.

01:17:32Corporal, please.

01:17:33Take me to Major Denny.

01:17:35I don't like to see any useful killing, but I got my orders, ma'am.

01:17:40But Major Denny decide that.

01:17:42Take me to him.

01:17:44Please.

01:17:45Mike, you're all late, Major.

01:18:09You sure there's enough of them?

01:18:10We've got enough pilot charge set up there to erupt a volcano.

01:18:13Five o'clock.

01:18:15How soon will all the fuse lines be down?

01:18:16Not more than 30 minutes.

01:18:17And another 30 minutes to check it.

01:18:19We're right out of schedule.

01:18:20Will!

01:18:22Corporal, what's the meaning of this?

01:18:24I told you to keep her at the house.

01:18:25You can't burn those men in cold blood with them.

01:18:28What do you think they've done to our men?

01:18:30Take her back to the house and keep her there.

01:18:31Will!

01:18:32Clay.

01:18:33Clay.

01:18:35Clay.

01:18:36You've got to give him a chance to surrender.

01:18:40It's too late for surrender.

01:18:41If you were up there, Clay wouldn't say that.

01:18:44Besides, all you want to do is get them off.

01:18:46What will you give him by killing them?

01:18:48They would surrender, Major.

01:18:48We could get Sherman supplies only through Snake Gap by tomorrow.

01:18:52You know they're going to surrender.

01:18:53At least give me a chance to put it to them.

01:18:55It's certainly worth a try, Major.

01:18:56Hey, don't you let me through?

01:18:58Don't interrupt the work.

01:19:01Keep lining up the fuse.

01:19:02We set off that charge as per schedule.

01:19:04Six o'clock.

01:19:06You've got left in an hour.

01:19:08That's plenty of time.

01:19:12Kathy.

01:19:15I want you to get a clear message for me.

01:19:17Tell them that...

01:19:19Tell them there's still a lot of ships we haven't sailed.

01:19:28I've been studying Snake Gap, Major.

01:19:34If they blow us off of here,

01:19:36this whole mountaintop is going to slide right down into the gap.

01:19:39They'll never get a train through there anymore.

01:19:42Once we're out of the way, they'll build a new track around.

01:19:45Not in less than a week they won't.

01:19:49See, we've got eight dead, three wounded.

01:19:52That's seven of us left.

01:19:54The wounded ain't hurt bad.

01:19:55There's still ten of us.

01:19:58It all boils down to ten lives for a week's delay.

01:20:04How does it strike you, Mike?

01:20:06Just think.

01:20:08Ten men holding up Sherman's whole army for a week.

01:20:13Sounds like a right, fair bargain to me.

01:20:17Listen.

01:20:20I don't hear a thing.

01:20:22They've stopped digging.

01:20:24There must be me in the fuse line.

01:20:26Let's go and tell them, Major.

01:20:27Hey, someone's coming.

01:20:29Sound's dead ahead.

01:20:30Well, there's one Yankee that's going to keep us company.

01:20:44Got it.

01:20:44The fuse lines are all set, Major.

01:20:59All the men are counted for?

01:21:00All of them.

01:21:02We'll wait till six.

01:21:04That was the time.

01:21:06We'd better start it off in the woods.

01:21:07I wish Corporal Jennings was here now.

01:21:17He sure could play that guitar.

01:21:19Gee, I wish I had an air for music.

01:21:22Mind if I play my mouth-hookin, Major?

01:21:25Go ahead, Burns.

01:21:26Sure wish Corporal Jennings was here.

01:21:53Major!

01:21:54Miss Cassie's been here.

01:22:00Max, the medicine kit.

01:22:12Will's down there.

01:22:13Will, Denny.

01:22:15He says you can fill anyone.

01:22:19You already have to.

01:22:21Six, hurry, Craig.

01:22:24Craig, go.

01:22:25Take him in.

01:22:29Hurry.

01:22:30You haven't much time.

01:22:33It's nearly six now, Major.

01:22:36Take the men down, Mac.

01:22:37What about you?

01:22:39I'll follow.

01:22:40You'll never make it, Carrie.

01:22:41No, I...

01:22:44Sergeant McCartle, take the men down.

01:22:54Six o'clock, Major.

01:23:21Give him five minutes more.

01:23:39Cassie.

01:23:46Cassie!

01:23:47Cassie!

01:23:51Cassie!

01:23:57Cassie, I'll never leave you again.

01:24:01It's six-fifteen, Major.

01:24:05It's six-fifteen.

01:24:06It's six-fifteen.

01:24:08It's 6.15.

01:24:38It's 6.15.

01:25:08It's 6.15.

01:25:38It's 6.15.
