I'll see that they don't stay out too late.

To tell you the truth, Ed,

I'm going to get a lot of sleep

tonight anyway.

Why?

I'm taking Tucsos up to Fort Grant

first thing in the morning.

- No.

- Who wished that on you?

The Army.

Who do you think?

That's a mighty dangerous detail

the way things are.

It's not as dangerous

as keeping him around here.

Now, the beautiful daughter

of Captain Eversham,

that is why I have to sleep tonight.

Good night, Cathy.

Good night, Bill.

Good night.

Dick, will I see you before you go?

If you get up real early.

Dick.

You're enough to drive a woman insane,

running off like that.

Show me how much

you're gonna miss me.

That'll take a lot of showing, Cathy.

No, it wouldn't. Try.

That's how much I'm gonna miss you.

You better stop or I'll go over there

and shoot Tucsos and never leave at all.

I'd like that.

Good night, Cathy.

- Hey, Simpson.

- Yeah.

- Calhorn.

- Right.

- You're on a patrol tomorrow. 5:30.

- How nice.

I thought you'd like it.

Where's Kebussyan?

Probably tagging along

after Lieutenant Holloway.

I suppose you're right.

Thanks, Gilchrist.

I've done nothing for you, Murdock.

You brought Tucsos back.

Lance is taking him back

to Fort Grant tomorrow.

You going with him?

What do you think?

Well, the country's beautiful

this time of year, Mr. Murdock.

Be just as easy if the whole patrol

committed suicide tonight.

Save the Apaches a lot of trouble.

And if Lance don't wanna shoot himself,

I'll be glad to do it for him.

I wouldn't mind having

that pleasure myself.

But I'll say one thing.

If there's anybody can take

Tucsos up to Fort Grant,

it's Captain Lance.

I hate his black heart, too,

but he's still the best officer

I ever served under.

Didn't the captain

really wanna shoot him?

- Well, he...

- Sure.

But he wants to do it

all neat and proper,

according to regulations.

The way he should have shot you, Onstot.

Except deserters get hung,

unless they're lucky.

Hi, Dick.

Hi, Joe.

Thought you'd be in bed.

I've got too much to do.

I don't like what

you're gonna do tomorrow.

I don't like it at all.

Neither do I, but it's gotta be done.

I'm telling you straight.

Any detail leaves here with Tucsos

maybe ain't gonna come back.

I just rode out a couple hours.

Them hills is full of Apaches.

I could feel 'em.

They'll be coming after him.

Well, I got my orders.

I figured that's what you'd say.

I'll walk a piece with you.

I've gotta be getting back, Bill.

You still haven't answered me.

Yes, I have, by not answering.

You mean it's no.

Dick's the one?

How long have you known it?

I don't know.

I do.

I guess I always have.

You know, when I think of your future,
