I'm Mangas Colorados.
My son, Mangas.
Antonio, medicine man of my people.
Captain Philip Santley.
Lieutenant Wilson.
Your government wants peace.
Let the war between our
people be at an end.
I speak for my people
and my government.
When I say that the rights of the Manbreno
shall have the respect and the protection...
Dirty murderer!
Stop that man.
Who is he?
I've never seen him before, captain.
It looked like he's
out of his mind, sir.
Plump out of his mind.
What a time he picked.
How is he?
He's dead, never knew what hit him.
- Lieutenant Wilson.
- Yes, Sir.
- Who's riding to Fort Apache?
- Cassidy, sir.
Now this almost the end of December.
That makes a supply-column leaving from
Fort Apache to be here any time now.
Twenty men and a load of ammunition
It can make things pretty warm
here with all that powder.
The Manbrenos aren't
a very big tribe, captain.
Yeah, I know. But that ammunition
could change things.
Anyway, I'm taking no chances.
I'm asking for two full companies,
to reinforce the post.
Cassidy, I appear for
the Fort's ordinance, sir.
Escort this to General Crook personally,
Cassidy, you understand?
Yes, sir. I'd ride now, sir.
Right, and step on it.
Cassidy, keep your eyes open.
I'm practically on my way back, sir.
In case I don't get back in time,
a Happy New Year to you, captain.
- Same to you, Lieutenant.
- Thanks.
Merry Christmas to you.
Thanks, Sam.
As long as I'm not at
this Christmas dinner,
tell the cook to split up
my portion and go for the men.
All right, get out of here.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
I want Fort Yuma!
Don't you know if you
don't let loose of me?
You'll throw away
Don't you know that?
Don't you know that you will have
all the U.S. Army if you do this?
That's U.S. government business...
You'll have to answer
General Crook for this.
What are you gonna do?
You'll have trouble for this.
You're breaking the treaty.
Don't do that.
You can't get away with this,
they will hang you.
Everyone of you.
- Is it good.
- That ought to do it.
Be sure to check it over carefully.
Alec.
You want me, Lieutenant?
We're leaving for Fort Yuma
first thing in the morning.
- Lights out in one hour.
- Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
About my termination for training.
I got tactics and communication
memorized, sir.
How about it?
Can you read it to me?
- I know it by heart, sir.
- Can you read it?
No, sir.
Can you write it?
No, sir, but I know...
When you can I'll forward
your application.
I never heard of an officer in the U.S.
cavalry who couldn't read or write.
Yes, sir.
I told you it wouldn't work, Milo.
I guess they just wouldn't
cut out brass, that's all.
Oh, is that so?
You got too much studying to do than to
waste time and feel sorry for yourself.
Come on.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself!
And I asked you a million times,
not to call me Milo!
Okay, Mike, okay.
Hello, Ben.
Lieutenant Keegan.
What are you doing here?
I'm going to Fort Yuma with you.
How did you get your orders?
General Crook.
I wouldn't count on it.
You better get back
on your own outfit.
Merry Christmas, Lieutenant.
Thank you, sir. The same to you.
You'd like some punch?
No. Thank you, sir.
Now, what's on your mind?
I've been assigned to take the
supply column to Fort Yuma.
Yes, yes, according to the
duty list it's your turn.
That's right, sir.
Well, what's the trouble?
No trouble sir, I'm requesting
another scout.
Why?
I'd rather have not an Indian
with my company, sir.
He rode with the outfit for a long time.
Now since when has he ceased to be a
friend and become just another Indian?
There is nothing personal
in this request, sir.
Of course not.
That is your business, I suppose.
There's no other scout available.
Then I'll go without one.
You'll be blessed well with any scout
I see fit to sent with you!
You run your company, Lieutenant.
Leave the rest of the army to me!
Yes, sir.
Now wait a minute!
I haven't dismissed you yet.
Now look, Lieutenant...
You've been out in this
territory for a long time.
No one knows any better than you how tough it
is to straighten out this mess with the Apaches,
and put an end to these
raidings and killings.
You've been with me
from the very beginning.
You've known them all.
Geronimo, Nana, Victoria,
Cochise, the whole lot.
There's more to this, Lieutenant,
then just turn to see how much
Apaches we can shoot.
We're supposed to
make them believe in us.
We're supposed to convince the Indians
that we want to live in peace with them.
I know that is not easy to do
when we're shooting them down.
But we are just about
to got it linked.
Mangas Colorados got his Manbrenos
on to Fort Yuma right now.
And they're just about ready to sign.
That means it's over.
It's up for a few renegades.
That's the easy part,
we can smoke them out.
Then there doesn't have to be
another shot fired in this territory.
Do you know what that means?
come and work the mines,
without worrying about their families
winding up on some Apaches' poles.
This country can live in peace again.
There is one thing I've
learned out here, sir,
