00:00:05The End
00:00:32The End
00:01:08The End
00:01:35The End
00:02:00Got to put them in a stable bin. Looks like a storm coming up.
00:02:08What's the good word from Atlanta?
00:02:11The market for cotton doesn't look so good.
00:02:14We've been planting too much, Uncle Albert.
00:02:16Cotton's king. The whole self's built on it.
00:02:20And the world's knocking down our doors for more.
00:02:23Now, when I was a boy...
00:02:26Kathy, inside.
00:02:28Your lovely wife's in the grief of her.
00:02:31Now, Brax, when I was a boy, I remember the whole...
00:02:39Oh, 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. You did, Mr. Albert, lots of times.
00:02:50I did, eh?
00:02:53Well, I...
00:02:59I didn't expect you back until tomorrow.
00:03:02There was a storm coming up. I didn't want to get caught in it.
00:03:05It's been hot like this all week. I don't think it'll storm.
00:03:10Kathy, Atlanta's a powder keg. They'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, I saved your uniform.
00:03:24I'll go to Atlanta with you and watch you march in the parade.
00:03:27I don't think you understand, Kathy.
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.
00:03:36I insist you refuse their offer until they make you a general.
00:03:39You didn't forget the yarn for the new clothes, did you?
00:03:42Yes, I did.
00:03:44But I brought you a scarf.
00:03:47Oh, Brack, it's lovely.
00:03:50I ran into a couple of old friends.
00:03:52Really? Who?
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. They're riding up for dinner tonight.
00:04:02They?
00:04:03Who's your other friend?
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, Kathy.
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.
00:04:55It is dead.
00:05:04Thank you, Martha.
00:05:12Isn't it a warm evening for a fire?
00:05:16I've sold a two in the house.
00:05:18Well, 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.
00:05:35I 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, was gone, darling.
00:05:50Will.
00:05:51Hello, Brett.
00:05:51How are you?
00:05:52Clay?
00:05:52Great, 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.
00:06:21What have you been doing to the world?
00:06:23Well, in 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.
00:06:35Did 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, but 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?
00:06:55As long as I live.
00:06:58I've paid my father's debts and brought 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.
00:07:13I've often thought of both of you.
00:07:15I brought Kathy a present.
00:07:18May I?
00:07:20Of course.
00:07:21Of course, these pearls are from the pirates' market in New Orleans Bayou.
00:07:27They once belonged to a Balinese princess.
00:07:31Can I say...
00:07:33Thank you, Ned.
00:07:37Kathy, did I ever tell you about the time these two fought a duel?
00:07:41We were pleads up at Poughkeepsie on a three-day leave.
00:07:44Will and Clay were courting the barmaid, and she was quite a devil.
00:07:47Our 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.
00:08:07Say, maybe you two can give me some advice.
00:08:09I'm experimenting on a new type of cottonseed for export.
00:08:13Will's the expert on cottonseed.
00:08:16Cottonseed?
00:08:17Oh, I don't know very much about cottonseed.
00:08:19Come on, Will.
00:08:20I've got some samples in my study.
00:08:21No, Brack.
00:08:22Will doesn't want to talk about business now.
00:08:24It'll only take a minute, darling.
00:08:26Come on, Will.
00:08:28That's where the real profit lies, Will, in the export tree.
00:08:31Now, you take this new fiber...
00:08:38Are you happy, Kathy?
00:08:42Why shouldn't I be?
00:08:50I didn't come to Atlanta on business.
00:08:52I came to see you.
00:08:54I'm Bracks' 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.
00:09:02You'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 proofs for no memory.
00:09:17What more do you want?
00:09:18I carried cotton to Liverpool and wool to Boston.
00:09:21On my back as a common seaman.
00:09:27Will 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.
00:09:33But I 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.
00:09:40Only 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.
00:09:48They belonged to my mother.
00:09:51I always wanted you to have them.
00:09:53What have I done to you, Greg?
00:09:57What have we done to each other?
00:10:18What have we done to each other?
00:10:31I have not done that.
00:10:31What are we done to each other?
00:10:32You are friends.
00:10:33Will'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 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.
00:10:55Clay, you'll stay here until our regiments are called up.
00:10:57No thanks, Brax.
00:11:01Goodbye, Kathy.
00:11:01I'll report directly to Richard.
00:11:33Goodbye, Kathy.
00:11:43Goodbye, Kathy.
00:12:10You're unapproved of my choice.
00:12:12Clavin's a fine officer, but...
00:12:15Speak up. What have you against him?
00:12:16Well, I would recommend someone with less, uh, less courage.
00:12:21That's a strange recommendation.
00:12:23You want me to select the coward for the job?
00:12:25Clavin is reckless beyond all this.
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 Clavin is here, sir.
00:12:44Send him in. Yes, sir.
00:12:52You know, Lieutenant Colonel, Fitzgerald and Allison.
00:12:55Take a look at this map, Major.
00:12:57I have a job for you.
00:12:59A difficult job.
00:13:01Maybe it's impossible.
00:13:05Sherman's whole army poured out of Chattanooga three weeks ago.
00:13:09They're moving straight along this single railroad and heading for Atlanta.
00:13:13If he takes Atlanta, we do.
00:13:16Our only chance is to draw him deep into Georgia, cut off his supply lines, and destroy his armies
00:13:21bit by bit.
00:13:23The bulk of his supplies are pouring through this same railroad.
00:13:27And as fast as we destroy it, his men rebuild it.
00:13:30What we've got to do is find a weak link in this railroad.
00:13:35So that we can keep destroying it faster than Sherman's men can repair it.
00:13:40And this is the spot.
00:13:44I understand you're familiar with this region, Major.
00:13:47Yes, sir.
00:13:48I used to live near there.
00:13:50Good.
00:13:51Now, take a look at this.
00:13:52You'll see the Devil's Mountain completely dominates the railroad where it passes through Snake Gap.
00:13:57That's the one-week link in Sherman's supply line.
00:14:02I want you to take twenty 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 twenty men up there, but four cannons, that's another question.
00:14:19So I believe.
00:14:21But we have a scout who says that there's an inside route through the cave to the top
00:14:25that will take dismantled artillery.
00:14:27General, if I could get cannon on top of Devil's Mountain, I could fight there till
00:14:34doomsday.
00:14:35You may have to, Major.
00:14:38The wagons are loaded and waiting for you.
00:14:41You'll have four twelve-pound Brook guns.
00:14:43The best cannon we've got.
00:14:45Pick 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?
00:15:02Yes, sir.
00:15:04And stay clear of Monrovia.
00:15:05We don't know how fast Sherman's cavalry scouts are moving.
00:15:11Is there anyone at Monrovia now, sir?
00:15:13Our latest reports show that it's abandoned.
00:15:17I would suggest that you ask for volunteers.
00:15:19And 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
00:15:27in 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.
00:15:40Thank you, sir.
00:16:03At ease, men.
00:16:06You don't have to look so brave.
00:16:09I'm afraid you'll all have a chance of being a hero.
00:16:19THE END
00:16:47THE END
00:17:32I don't see any sign of life down there.
00:17:35That's Catlett's farm, all right.
00:17:37Beggar's wouldn't show himself.
00:17:38He's inside, waiting for us.
00:17:54It's like the Yankees got the biggers first.
00:17:57Do we go on, Major?
00:17:58No, Bernie.
00:17:59We're going back to General Johnston.
00:18:00And I'll let you tell him we saw a dead man and got scared.
00:18:03It was just too discouraging.
00:18:06I guess we're going on, Major.
00:18:11Major.
00:18:21Major.
00:18:26Major.
00:18:29Major.
00:18:31Major.
00:18:34Major.
00:18:34Major.
00:18:42Men, we've got to slip through their lines.
00:18:44Grease the axles, tie down everything that's moved.
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.
00:19:21THE END
00:19:55THE END
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 on the inside through the cavern.
00:20:33I've been in these limestone caverns 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.
00:20:48It's a smoke down.
00:20:50Must be a union scouting party.
00:21:00What do you see, Major?
00:21:02Monrovia.
00:21:04Monrovia?
00:21:04What's that?
00:21:05Just a big empty house.
00:21:06There'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.
00:21:11We'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.
00:21:17We'll pitch camp here.
00:21:49On limber.
00:21:50On limber.
00:21:59Brady, go down to the house and find out how big that scouting party is.
00:22:03Yes, sir.
00:22:03Jerry, break out a rope and lantern.
00:22:12This model of guns, bring them in here.
00:22:14Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:16He'll need them.
00:22:19I volunteered for this mission, sir.
00:22:22Oh, let him stay, Major.
00:22:23He don't want to miss the big thing.
00:22:25People send Daniel back to the horses, sir.
00:22:28He's a family man.
00:22:29I got nobody but my friend's ears.
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.
00:23:05Let's get started, man.
00:23:06It's a long way to the top.
00:23:22I'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.
00:23:32All right, Lee.
00:23:33Hold tight, sir.
00:23:57That was mighty close, Major.
00:23:58I told you, Mac.
00:23:59I didn't know the way.
00:24:00I was just trusting the luck.
00:24:02This place is a death gun.
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 what I'm doing.
00:24:09Now, Jerry, Major, I've been in these cabins 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, Max.
00:24:23Come on.
00:24:27Is it enough?
00:24:29Oh, yeah, now, boy.
00:24:30Hello.
00:24:31Is it enough?
00:24:34Get in the outside.
00:24:35I'll see you.
00:24:40Hang on.
00:24:41Hang on.
00:25:02Keep it moving.
00:25:05Keep it moving.
00:25:06Keep it moving.
00:25:08Keep it moving.
00:25:09Keep it moving.
00:25:12There you go.
00:25:18We're split up into two-man teams.
00:25:19Each team take a different path to mark its way with chalk.
00:25:22Be sure to tie your own security.
00:25:24Check the oil in your land.
00:25:26Take it a step at a time.
00:25:27There's no telling when the ground will suddenly disappear from beneath your feet.
00:25:31Mac and I will check the possibilities of the scaven outside.
00:25:52How's it around the other side?
00:25:54Worse.
00:26:04It's just a small squad down the house, Major.
00:26:07Not more than a dozen men.
00:26:09You check, Snagy, up?
00:26:10Yep.
00:26:10Not more than 30.
00:26:11No artillery.
00:26:13Just a heap of railroad equipment.
00:26:15How close are they to repairing the tracks?
00:26:17Well, I couldn't rightly see, son.
00:26:20We've got to get those guns a better night.
00:26:23Any luck?
00:26:25Nah, it's too bad our people all cleared out for Atlanta.
00:26:28Nowhere we can get any help.
00:26:29Say, there's an old man still living down at the house.
00:26:33I saw him picking up firewood in the backyard.
00:26:36What'd he look like?
00:26:38Couldn't see much in the moonlight, excepting he walked with a limb.
00:26:42Mac, you didn't pretty keep the boys moving.
00:26:45I'm going down to the house.
00:26:46I'll join you within an hour.
00:26:47And if you don't, you're second in command.
00:27:13Hey, Bert, come and get us.
00:27:14The coffee's ready.
00:27:43They get them going somewhere, Grandpa?
00:27:45Can the man get a breath of air?
00:27:49You want air?
00:27:53There's some air.
00:28:00What are you doing?
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.
00:28:15Tearing up bedsheets 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.
00:28:26You know Sherman gave orders to burn down every house from here to Atlanta?
00:28:29What's stopping you?
00:28:31Your husband.
00:28:33Sooner or later, he's going to get lonesome.
00:28:36He's going to drop in to see you.
00:28:39We're going to be here to greet him.
00:28:41You'll never get your hands on him.
00:28:43Oh, Colonel Brackson's a fox, all right.
00:28:46But even a fox gets lonesome.
00:28:48Who will 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.
00:29:01Yes, ma'am.
00:29:05Kathy?
00:29:06Yes, Uncle Robert?
00:29:09Will you come in here, please?
00:29:29Where's the lady?
00:29:31She's gone to bed.
00:29:34All I wanted is your shirt mended.
00:29:37She's gone to bed.
00:29:39Do you want me to wake her up?
00:29:41Gone to bed?
00:29:43I never left the hallway.
00:29:44No one went upstairs.
00:29:53What's the matter, Grandpa?
00:29:55I told you she's gone to bed.
00:30:01See that this is so by morning.
00:30:19He'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.
00:30:31I just never mailed them.
00:30:32But why, Craig?
00:30:34Yours were kind and consoling.
00:30:36Mine were bitter.
00:30:38Is 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.
00:30:45It's funny.
00:30:47Men die all around.
00:30:48And then all I do is get more medals.
00:30:50Oh, you mustn't die, Craig.
00:30:53Why?
00:30:54So we can be neighbors again?
00:30:56The last time we had dinner together.
00:30:59If the war hadn't broken up,
00:31:01I'd have gone away with you to New Orleans.
00:31:04We'd have taken a ship together and 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, Kevin.
00:31:16Maybe it's been too late.
00:31:18The Bible says,
00:31:20To everything that is easy,
00:31:23From time to every purpose unto heaven.
00:31:27Clay, I've waited too long for you.
00:31:31This must be our time.
00:31:33You left out a phrase.
00:31:35There'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
00:31:45Just 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.
00:32:14What happened to Jennings?
00:32:19Where's Jerry?
00:32:20Jerry and Comple Jennings were a team.
00:32:22The road broke.
00:32:23Jerry's still up there somewheres.
00:32:24If he's still there, why aren't you looking for him?
00:32:26What can we look?
00:32:27Jennings don't even know where he lost him.
00:32:29Jerry is dead, sir.
00:32:31Well, I fell.
00:32:32The road broke.
00:32:33You got lost trying to find me.
00:32:36We'll find him.
00:32:37First, we've got to get these cannon on top.
00:32:39Is there passage weather enough to take these?
00:32:41It isn't going to be easy.
00:32:43Men, this is Mrs. Summers.
00:32:45Every fourth man, take a minute.
00:32:46Just follow the light.
00:32:47You can't get lost.
00:32:48Every man carry on a wedding cat.
00:32:50Better to make an extra trip to save your life.
00:32:52Godlighting the lanterns.
00:33:25Watch out!
00:33:27Watch out!
00:33:29Watch out!
00:33:30Watch out!
00:33:33Let's go.
00:34:03Let's go.
00:34:33Watch out, Paul!
00:34:58That's when Rosie 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.
00:35:08The railroad track runs straight through.
00:35:10How 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.
00:35:29Well, I guess we got everything, Major.
00:35:32We still haven't found Jerry.
00:35:33We lost Anderson and the cannon.
00:35:35Corporal Jennings is out of action.
00:35:36That leaves us 16 good men and three cannons.
00:35:39That'll do.
00:35:40That'll have to do.
00:35:41How's the men get some rest?
00:35:42Then we'll organize a searching party for Jerry.
00:35:44Yes, sir.
00:35:48Well, 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.
00:35:57Sherman will send half his army to blast you off.
00:36:00That's why we have to stay.
00:36:01Take the pressure over General Johnston.
00:36:04But that's suicide.
00:36:06You can help us further.
00:36:07How?
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?
00:36:18My 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.
00:36:28You'd better go now, Kathy, before you're missed at the house.
00:36:31Can you find your way down alone?
00:36:34Sure.
00:36:35Thanks.
00:36:37Goodbye, Kathy.
00:36:39Goodbye, Craig.
00:37:07I'll see you next time.
00:37:12Jerry, listen to me.
00:37:15I'll be calling you if you can't call me in a minute,
00:37:18if I can't hold her and find my conclusion.
00:37:22See it, Jerry? Jerry?
00:37:31Jerry?
00:37:33Jerry? Jerry?
00:37:43Jerry?
00:37:50Jerry?
00:37:54Jerry?
00:38:01Don't move!
00:38:03Don't move!
00:38:15Jane, these me my lights!
00:38:17I can see your lights.
00:38:19I can see it.
00:38:20I can see your lights.
00:38:22I can see it.
00:38:24I can see it.
00:38:52Easy ranges on snake gap, Major.
00:38:54Right on top of them.
00:38:56About 1,500 yards, Major Nate.
00:38:59The only spot we're outranged is from Strawberry Hill.
00:39:02About 200 yards short.
00:39:03Don't need to worry about Strawberry Hill.
00:39:06Purdy, keep the change 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 repair on the track?
00:39:21I can't tell.
00:39:22The main section gang's working behind the cut.
00:39:25Recheck that range.
00:39:28Ah, we got 100 yards to spare, Major.
00:39:31Them trains will be like sitting ducks.
00:39:43How's the leg this morning, Corporal?
00:39:45Oh, I'll be up in a day or so, sir.
00:39:49Say, 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.
00:40:08She sure is.
00:40:10Just 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.
00:40:17Let's see, yeah.
00:40:19Oh, yeah.
00:40:20She said that I should tell you that you should brush up on your Spanish for California.
00:40:27Thanks, Jerry.
00:40:29Thanks, Jerry.
00:40:46Thanks for mending my shirt.
00:40:51What is it, Sergeant?
00:40:53Nothing.
00:40:53I'm off duty this morning.
00:40:58They're following me about for days.
00:41:04This is my kitchen, and 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?
00:41:18It doesn't matter.
00:41:20It's been just a long time since I've talked to a woman.
00:41:23I like the color of your hair, the way you walk.
00:41:25I 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.
00:41:45I didn't have a hand in starting this ruckus.
00:41:48I was farming.
00:41:49First 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?
00:41:55Why 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.
00:42:05Now, this must have been a fine farm once.
00:42:07Not too many of these hills.
00:42:09What did you raise before the war started?
00:42:12Cotton.
00:42:13My grandfather planted the first cotton in Georgia.
00:42:16It used to go as far as you could see through that window.
00:42:20And we had sheep, too.
00:42:21Merino sheep.
00:42:23Thousands of them.
00:42:25You men slaughtered the last pair we had.
00:42:28Well, 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?
00:42:36We 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 won't 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.
00:42:53And 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.
00:43:08Well, I sure have.
00:43:10I put it away in my haversack.
00:43:11Would you like to see them?
00:43:13Yes, I would.
00:43:15I'll be right back.
00:43:42I'll be right back.
00:43:47I'll be right back.
00:44:22I'll be right back.
00:44:51Dirty little spy.
00:44:53I want to see my family's pictures, huh?
00:45:06Uncle Albert.
00:45:13Look at me.
00:45:15Look.
00:45:16They got your signal.
00:45:27Please.
00:45:28Please.
00:45:30Please.
00:45:31Please.
00:45:32Please, ma'am.
00:45:33Dr. Lebleed.
00:45:35Help me.
00:45:38Ma'am.
00:45:39Dr. Lebleed.
00:45:41Help me.
00:45:43Help.
00:46:09I don't see any sign from the house.
00:46:11She placed it, sir.
00:46:12I saw it.
00:46:13Shall I try placing your back at you?
00:46:15It's too risky.
00:46:17Give 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 sign of smoke approaching Snakebill.
00:46:33Max, Max.
00:46:34They must have finished laying the tracks last night.
00:46:36Trains 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 pretty a hand.
00:46:41Come on.
00:46:44No.
00:46:46No.
00:46:51No.
00:46:55No.
00:46:59No.
00:47:00Let's go.
00:47:45Thank you. There'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 holds fire for the second train.
00:47:59Stay there, men.
00:48:11Men, 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.
00:48:41He's waiting too long.
00:48:47We're going to lose.
00:48:50What are we waiting for?
00:48:51The second train.
00:48:52We've got to get both of them.
00:48:53Back to your post.
00:49:03Number one gun ready?
00:49:04Back.
00:49:05On fire.
00:49:15Back to your post.
00:49:16Rebel's on the boat.
00:49:17Number two gun to press one degree.
00:49:24Back.
00:49:28Back.
00:49:30Fire.
00:49:31Fire.
00:49:33Fire.
00:49:33Fire.
00:49:34Fire.
00:49:35Fire.
00:49:39Get that engine.
00:49:40Get that engine.
00:49:42Get that engine.
00:49:46Check.
00:49:47On.
00:49:48Fire.
00:49:52Fire.
00:49:53Fire.
00:49:54Get the engine in the second train.
00:50:03Watch your loading, don't kill them.
00:50:17Watch your loading, don't kill them.
00:50:24Get it going, gun.
00:50:26Keep those guns, go!
00:50:36On target, fire!
00:50:42Back!
00:50:43I'm target.
00:50:43Fire!
00:50:50Number one, number two guns, go for the real car!
00:50:53There's got to be ammunition on one of them!
00:50:59This!
00:51:00Ah!
00:51:02This!
00:51:02This!
00:51:16Hey, Charlie!
00:51:24This!
00:51:27Ooh!
00:51:38Men, 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
00:51:49us.
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.
00:51:59James, 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 are 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.
00:52:25You'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 big.
00:52:46Come in.
00:52:51We'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. I have orders to do it tonight.
00:53:05Must 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.
00:53:17How 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.
00:53:29Would 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.
00:53:36Yes, ma'am.
00:53:59Detachment at Devil's Mountain, Major.
00:54:19What kind of guns were you able to bring up?
00:54:21I only got nine pounders.
00:54:22The heavy guns won't arrive until tomorrow.
00:54:24Put them whenever you have in action.
00:54:25We've got to get them off that mountain.
00:54:31I'm going to get them off.
00:54:32Keep firing.
00:54:35Keep firing.
00:54:35Keep firing.
00:54:56Yes, sir.
00:55:11They might as well be throwing marbles at him.
00:55:13Well, that's the best he's come to 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.
00:55:27But how do we get them off?
00:55:30We'll have to try direct assault.
00:55:31How do the guns keep firing to cover it?
00:55:37We'll make a run for it.
00:55:39I'll take my men up there and guide you men for killing the walls.
00:56:08They'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 find their way, Major.
00:56:13Let's discourage them anyway.
00:56:15Send a couple of the best shots into the cave.
00:56:17Burns, dip.
00:56:18Come on.
00:56:19Marty?
00:56:20Yeah.
00:56:20Keep the men scattered out all around the summit.
00:56:22Again?
00:56:24Yes.
00:56:37We'll go.
00:56:39We'll go.
00:56:40Come on.
00:56:43Come on.
00:56:44Come on.
00:56:45Come on.
00:56:46Come on.
00:56:56It takes a year to find your way up there.
00:56:58I've been into here before.
00:57:00There's a path around here somewhere.
00:57:02Hey, that looks familiar.
00:57:07There's the crystal room.
00:57:08Jump far now.
00:57:09Come on.
00:57:25There's guns by here, straight ahead.
00:57:27Let's go.
00:57:45Our final house in Sherman's headquarters is waiting for you, Major.
00:57:57Major, you all have to excuse us.
00:58:02Well, Major.
00:58:08Major, did you get those rebels off the mountain?
00:58:12We lost a dozen good men trying.
00:58:16Two weeks track work by a hundred engineers blasted to pieces in a single hour.
00:58:21And a month's ammunition for Sherman.
00:58:22I tell you, Major, if those rebels aren't blasted off that mountain in a hurry,
00:58:26someone's head is going to roll for this and it's not going to be mine.
00:58:29Colonel, when we first passed through this territory,
00:58:33I begged General McPherson to occupy Devil's Mosque.
00:58:36I said we were vulnerable and a dozen dispatches.
00:58:39Nobody listens.
00:58:40You want my head, you can have it.
00:58:42But it won't dislog 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.
00:58:49If he'll send me artillery instead of peace shooting, I'll do the job.
00:58:52Sherman is sending you every large artillery piece he can spare.
00:58:55Meanwhile, we put our thumb.
00:58:56Our command isn't sleeping, Major.
00:58:58You've got one big gun coming fast.
00:59:00One gun?
00:59:01I need a broadside.
00:59:02This Navy gun will do the trick.
00:59:04It's a big 15-inch dog run.
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.
00:59:18I promise you that.
00:59:19I'll hold you to it.
00:59:22Well, Major, the lady of the house, Mrs. Summers, see that she gets a safe conduct cut in Chattanooga.
00:59:37Welcome to Monroeville, Major Denning.
00:59:40It's been a long time since you've shared our hospitality.
00:59:43I guess this is a Yankee way of returning.
00:59:45No, look, Captain.
00:59:47I 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?
00:59:5930 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.
01:00:19Clay and I almost missed this war.
01:00:23We were on board shipping to the Far East when Clay suddenly decided to get off.
01:00:27That's when we came here.
01:00:29He told me a story about having to see a lorry in Atlanta about his father's plantation.
01:00:36It turned out all he wanted was to see you again.
01:00:42I thought you'd like to know.
01:00:45Thanks for telling me, Bill.
01:00:51Sure would like to see Clay again.
01:00:56I wonder where he's fighting.
01:01:02What am I going to do about you?
01:01:06The best thing you can do for me is let me stay here in Amrobia.
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.
01:01:16Let me stay, Will.
01:01:17Please let me stay.
01:01:18Oh, you're waiting for Franks, of course.
01:01:21I have news for you.
01:01:22He's free.
01:01:23He and his men cut their way out of the pocket we had them boxed in.
01:01:26Thank goodness.
01:01:27Thank the men up on Devil's Mountain.
01:01:30Because of them, we had to pull every available man and gun over the air.
01:01:34Franks can't come here now.
01:01:35You may as well wait for him in Chattanooga.
01:01:38Is that an order?
01:01:41I'm just asking you for your own sake.
01:01:45Please let me stay, Will.
01:01:49I could never refuse you anything.
01:01:52Thanks, Will.
01:01:54Look, Kathy.
01:01:57I'll have to place you under house arrest.
01:01:59You won't be able to leave the ground.
01:02:02According to the book, you're still the enemy.
01:02:13This operation ought to blast them off the mountain in half a day.
01:02:17Here's where the enemy stands.
01:02:19From the size of their shot, we know the only guns they've got are 12-pound brooks.
01:02:24These 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.
01:02:34This is a danger area.
01:02:36But their range is confined within this circle.
01:02:39Now, 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, that's a good 200 yards beyond anything they can reach from the summit.
01:02:53We'll bombard from this point.
01:02:55We got them sealed off at the mouth of the cave.
01:02:58There's no way down the side of Devil's Mountain.
01:03:00We're going to keep pounding until there isn't a rifle shot left on that summit.
01:03:07Captain Travis, fourth cavalry.
01:03:09The naval gun has passed Tresita.
01:03:11It should arrive at 2 a.m.
01:03:12Great.
01:03:13That's good speed, Captain.
01:03:14Lieutenant, see Captain Travis to each quarter.
01:03:16Yes, sir.
01:03:17Follow me, Captain.
01:03:18It's 1.30.
01:03:19We may as well set our position.
01:03:20It's 2.30.
01:03:21Come on.
01:03:27THE END
01:03:57Here she comes!
01:04:29Mr. Gunner, secure your gun for action.
01:04:44Lieutenant Flanker, Mississippi Naval Command, sir.
01:04:46You made excellent time, Lieutenant.
01:04:48Will 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?
01:04:57Let me check the ranges first, Lieutenant.
01:05:00I 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.
01:05:06Hold on.
01:05:57Oh, Jim, it's the girl.
01:06:09Clay! Clay, you've got to get off of this mountain right now, there isn't something.
01:06:12Why?
01:06:12I just saw the naval gun they brought up. You haven't got a chance, Clay.
01:06:16That's the engine we heard. How is it mounted?
01:06:18On a flat car.
01:06:19Must be a Dalgren.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:21You can all make it if you leave now.
01:06:23With a Dalgren, Major, they can lay back outside of our range and knock off the top of this mountain
01:06:27a foot of the time.
01:06:29We all knew something like this was bound to happen.
01:06:31As long as we have a single gun here and a man to fire, they can get a supply train
01:06:35through Snake Gap.
01:06:35That's our job.
01:06:37We're all with you there, Major. Except in that Navy gun, it's changed the situation.
01:06:42One hour after it opens fire, we won't have a gun or a man left.
01:06:45That's a fact, Major.
01:06:47Clay, don't sacrifice yourself and your men for nothing. You've done what you could, now go.
01:06:52Where'd you see the gun?
01:06:54The other side of that rocky hill.
01:06:58A good 200 yards outside of our range.
01:07:02Even at extreme elevation.
01:07:04Remember the engagement at Lookout Mountain?
01:07:06We're out range there, too, but we've not got the guns.
01:07:09Well, they could load with a double charge.
01:07:11The 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.
01:07:17It takes wire.
01:07:18And an awful strong wire, which we got none of.
01:07:21Any fence wire down at Monroville?
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?
01:07:32Yes.
01:07:32Piano wire.
01:07:34That's as strong as there is.
01:07:35It might do the trick.
01:07:40You wait here.
01:07:42I'll be back as soon as I get the wire.
01:08:09I'll be back as soon as I get the wire.
01:08:13You're a good soldier, Kathy.
01:08:14I'm going back with you.
01:08:15You're going back into the house?
01:08:18I'll never see you again.
01:08:20You'll see me, Kathy.
01:08:21I'm not ready to die.
01:08:23Not yet.
01:08:25Goodbye.
01:08:32All right.
01:08:33Major, take it back, huh?
01:08:40Major?
01:08:43Deflection.
01:08:44Four degrees east.
01:08:46Range on target.
01:08:50There's two men on that ledge.
01:08:52They've got a tripod.
01:08:55Take them this side of us.
01:08:57They're ready for loading.
01:08:58Get into the cave, Jerry.
01:09:00They'll be firing in a minute now.
01:09:05That's an order.
01:09:06Yes, sir.
01:09:12Start loading.
01:09:13Start loading!
01:09:15Go!
01:09:21Everyone might have signed to a post in on the cave.
01:09:31How much longer, man?
01:09:33Just turned her off, Major.
01:09:34Boys, keep on promoting first-size shooters for the boys in blue.
01:09:38Fire.
01:09:39Fire!
01:09:40Fire!
01:09:50Fire!
01:09:59Fire!
01:10:00Fire!
01:10:02Fire!
01:10:06Fire!
01:10:07Fire!
01:10:08Fire!
01:10:10Fire!
01:10:11Fire!
01:10:32Get that engine started.
01:10:35Pull it back!
01:10:36Take it back!
01:10:37All right, uh!
01:10:42Get that gun moving!
01:10:44He's back!
01:10:46He's back!
01:10:55He's back!
01:10:56Back!
01:10:57Back!
01:11:10Step on her!
01:11:19Bullseye!
01:11:22Bertie, throw in a couple more shots for good measure.
01:11:26The night looks fair, I did.
01:11:29Very long, man.
01:11:45This just arrived from General Sherman's headquarters, sir.
01:12:07The gun Sherman was sending. We'll never get here.
01:12:10They ran pushed to Peachtree River by summary raiders.
01:12:13Now the mortar got through.
01:12:15It'll take a month to get mortars down in Chattanooga.
01:12:18It might be quicker to bring another naval gun down from Charleston.
01:12:20We could mount the guns we have on Strawberry Hill, blast them out rock by rock.
01:12:24Strawberry Hill is right in their line of fire.
01:12:26They could pick us off like flies.
01:12:28Plenty 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.
01:12:39We're going to take that carload of powder.
01:12:42We're going to mine every cavern and passage under that summit.
01:12:45The whole top of that mountain is a hollow shell.
01:12:47We'll blow the lid off.
01:12:50By dawn 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.
01:12:56Right, sir.
01:12:57I'll settle it once and for all, sir.
01:12:59I think that's it.
01:13:11We're going to make them pay for every man we've lost, for every minute we've lost.
01:13:16That's the only way.
01:13:27Hartwell!
01:13:30Yes, sir.
01:13:31Who stripped this piano?
01:13:33I don't know, sir.
01:13:34The wire was in there yesterday.
01:13:35I remembered it distinctly.
01:13:37There's no one in the house, sir, except myself and...
01:13:48Come on!
01:13:55That's wire.
01:13:56A piano wire.
01:13:58You took it to Devil's Mountain, didn't you?
01:14:02You told them about the naval gun.
01:14:04You've been working with them all along, haven't you?
01:14:06What if I have?
01:14:09Please let me stay, Will.
01:14:11I should have shipped you off to the prison stockade in Chattanooga the moment I arrived.
01:14:15Maybe I have lied to you, Will.
01:14:17Maybe I have betrayed your friendship.
01:14:20You forgot.
01:14:22We're on different sides.
01:14:24I won't forget again.
01:14:26By dawn tomorrow, there won't be a single man left alive on top of that muck.
01:14:31Hark!
01:14:34Don't let this woman out of your sight.
01:14:37Trip her off to Chattanooga tomorrow.
01:14:39That's a civilian?
01:14:40No.
01:14:41He's a prisoner of war.
01:14:54How long will it take to mine the passengers?
01:14:56We'll be ready by dawn, sir.
01:14:57Good.
01:15:07How long will it take to build a new track around the gap?
01:15:09Good.
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 bored.
01:15:16How much butter are we gonna need?
01:15:17Every bit we have.
01:15:18All right.
01:15:19All right.
01:15:19Get your men busy, Captain.
01:15:39They're awful busy doing something.
01:15:43They're all over the place.
01:15:44I wonder what they're up to.
01:15:45You better get the major down.
01:16:13When did you first hear these sounds?
01:16:14Came for more than 20 minutes later.
01:16:17Sounds like digging to me.
01:16:18Are they trying to dig their way to the temperature?
01:16:21They're mining the passage under the summit.
01:16:23It's fixing the blow is the kingdom come.
01:16:26Keep an eye on the men.
01:16:28Don't let anyone pass.
01:16:29You know the Yankee folks have said I don't want the passages.
01:16:32I'll blow it off.
01:16:50What 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.
01:16:57I can't tell you.
01:17:00But 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 cave.
01:17:13Gonna blow those men straight off the face of the earth.
01:17:18Sit down, ma'am.
01:17:20You're not going anywhere.
01:17:21Take me to Major Denny immediately.
01:17:23I 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.
01:17:29I 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 useless killing, but...
01:17:38I got my orders, ma'am.
01:17:40But Major Denny decide that.
01:17:42Take me to him.
01:17:44Please.
01:18:07The mines are all late, Major.
01:18:09You sure there's enough of them?
01:18:10We've got enough powder charge set up there to erupt a volcano.
01:18:13Five o'clock.
01:18:14How soon will all the fuse lines be down?
01:18:16None more than 30 minutes.
01:18:17And another 30 minutes to check.
01:18:19We're right on schedule.
01:18:20We're up.
01:18:22Corporal.
01:18:23What'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.
01:18:27What do you think they've done to our men?
01:18:30Take her back to the house and keep her there.
01:18:31Well, Clay.
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 would you say that?
01:18:44All I thought you'd want to do is get them off.
01:18:45What would you mean by killing them?
01:18:47They would surrender, Major.
01:18:48We could get German supplies rolling through state gas by tomorrow.
01:18:51Now you 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.
01:18:56Hang on a minute. Let me through.
01:18:59Don't interrupt the work.
01:19:00Keep lining up the fuse.
01:19:02We set off that charge as per schedule.
01:19:04Six o'clock.
01:19:06You've got less than an hour.
01:19:08That's plenty of time.
01:19:12Kathy.
01:19:15I want you to get Clay a message for me.
01:19:17Tell him it.
01:19:20Tell him there's still a lot of ships begun to sail.
01:19:31I've been studying Snake Gap, Major.
01:19:34If they blow us off of here, this whole mountain top is going to slide right down into the gap.
01:19:39They'll never get a train through there anymore.
01:19:42Well, once we're out of the way, they'll build a new track around.
01:19:45Not in less than a week they won't.
01:19:48See, 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.
01:19:59It 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.
01:20:12Sounds like a right fair bargain to me.
01:20:17Listen.
01:20:20I don't hear a thing.
01:20:21They've stopped digging.
01:20:24There must be me in the fuselage.
01:20:26Let's go and tell them they hear.
01:20:27Someone's coming.
01:20:29Sounds dead ahead.
01:20:30Well, here's one Yankee that's going to keep us company.
01:20:43Got it.
01:20:56Use lanes are all set, Major.
01:20:59All the men are coming for us?
01:21:00All of them.
01:21:02We'll wait for six.
01:21:04That was the time.
01:21:06We'd better set it off in the woods.
01:21:14Wish Corporal Jennings was here now.
01:21:16He sure could play that guitar.
01:21:19Gee, I wish I had an air for music.
01:21:22Mind if I play my mouth organ, Major?
01:21:24Well, go ahead, Burns.
01:21:30Sure wish Corporal Jennings was here.
01:21:52Major!
01:21:54Miss Cassie's been here.

01:22:36Take the men down, Mac.
01:22:37What about you?
