replacements for soldiers who've died.
- Died?
- God save us. The Indians.
Not Indians. Fort Humboldt is in
the grip of a diphtheria epidemic.
Oh, Richard. My father.
We're in daily contact with the fort,
Marica, and your father's fine.
Why wasn't I told?
Because we might have lost the rest of
your command, not only two officers.
- They must have found out.
- Governor, how dare you expose a lady,
- all of us, to this dreadful pestilence?
- We have provisions for a month.
Molyneux pronounces Humboldt clean.
He's got as good a chance as
any of catching the diphtheria.
I've already had
the disease. I'm immune.
- Where'd you catch it?
- In Mexico. Why?
Just curious.
How many troops are
available for duty?
- Gentlemen.
- Doctor.
25 out of a garrison of 76.
The others are too sick
for duty, or dead.
- White Hand must like that.
- White Hand?
Paiute chief. He needs watchin'.
25 men. That's not even
enough for patrols.
If you'll excuse me.
Marica. Are you all right?
Yes, of course.
It's been a long day.
Are you going to leave
him like this all night?
him loose in the morning.
By then we'll be in snow country,
and he'll have no place to go.
You sure got a mighty poor
choice for your pity, ma'am.
Then you make a mighty poor
example of a lawman, Mr Pearce.
A man is innocent
until proved guilty.
But you've tried,
convicted and condemned.
Show me the law that says you can
treat a man like a wild animal.
You frightened me.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Aren't you afraid of
someone seeing you?
I'm afraid we're not much
of a secret any more.
You should have told me about
the epidemic at the fort.
Why?
You'd only have worried.
Or are you afraid I might
have deserted, too?
Let's wait until we
get off the train.
Can I get you something?
There's some food left.
No, thanks.
A drink?
That I'll have.
Would you untie my legs?
Don't be silly.
- I won't go anywhere, I promise.
- I'm sure you won't.
I'm all cramped up and I
need the circulation.
I give you my word.
I'll only untie your legs.
And if you want to hop off the train,
it's a long hop to anywhere.
There. Better?
Give me a hand up?
Oh, my God.
You promised.
When a man is a killer, arsonist,
a cheat and a coward,
it's hardly surprising if he
turns out to be a liar as well.
- Yes. But what's that to do with you?
- But she's not well.
- How do you know that?
If she were, the commander of the
fort would be visited by his wife,
and not his daughter.
It's strange, you coming out
here with diphtheria around,
