- They didn't last a week.

- And they're on our side?

Bounty jumpers. Crawled out of the

sewers in New York for the money.

Most of them thought they'd run

off before they'd see any fighting.

So I ask you again.

Where is my bridle and halter?

What? You don't care?

No rations today unless the goddamn

thief returns what he stole from me.

If you are digging tunnels...

...you will suffer the consequences.

Tunnels are useless!

Even if you are outside, I give any

two men a 12-hour start...

...and then track you with the dogs.

And you will suffer the consequences.

But why bother anyway?

I know absolutely

there are talks going on...

...this moment for exchange.

Any day now, all of you

will be paroled in quick order.

So we understand each other.

No bridle! No halter!

No rations!

You go on about your own business,

now, you know what's good for you.

They're gonna starve us to death

over his bridle!

Wirz is a goddamn liar!

- Give us anything.

- We've been through the mill already.

You boys didn't hear anything about

any prisoner exchange, did you?

- No.

- No?

Damn Wirz tells that to all the new

boys so they don't try and run off.

- Dick.

- Dick?

- Dick, you all right?

- You haven't eaten today?

No, I didn't eat yesterday either.

Somebody stole a bridle,

and Wirz is punishing the whole camp.

Here.

- What is that, salt pork?

- Yeah.

Oh, my God. I ain't seen salt pork

since I been here.

Rebs gave it to us before

they put us on the train.

- I don't want it if the Rebs...

- Dick. Come on.

- Go ahead.

- Eat.

God bless you.

Wow.

- Have this here onion, Dick.

- An onion?

I forgot what an onion tastes like.

Anybody got anything else?

- Yeah.

- Good?

It's a meal fit for a king!

I feel much better, thanks.

God bless you. You boys wanna take

a walk around, see your new home?

- Yeah.

- Think so.

- Sure.

- All right. Help me up.

Caught these boys trying to escape.

- How long they been in that thing?

- Since the day they caught them.

Is there a surgeon around here? The

sergeant took a bullet in the shoulder.

- I can take you down to sick hall.

- I'm fine, Dick.

It won't do you much good.

I'm gonna show you where

we ain't going fishing, Josiah.

They built this place downstream from

their tents, horses, dogs, everything...

...so they do whatever they do in the

water, even before it gets down to us.

You're seeing a tenth of what

we do to it, once it gets down here.

They do everything in there. That's

why this place has such a stink to it.

Don't worry. You won't notice

it after a couple months.

There's some boys digging a tunnel

to get out.

- Dick, they got kids watching us here?
