-He's a fool

-Si.

-And you're a fool.

Well, I've been here long enough

Hey, you blue donkey!

I want to see the colonel.

Adios, amigo!

-Now, what is so important about this gun?

-On February 10th, six escorted waggons

..left the arsenal of St. Louis.

-On March 1st they were ambushed and the waggons stolen

-Even against the Indians.

the quality of Yankee troops have not improved.

They were ambushed by white men. The waggons

carried 2,000 new repeating rifles

Yours are the first one to turn up.

-Well Colconel. I bought a gun in Presidio.

-You bought it? Who from?

Lassiter, this command contains 300 men.

What do you thing what happens when we are faced with

2000 apces armed with better weapons than we have?

What do think it mean to those families out there?

The women, children...

Well, Colonel...

Tha mans name is Theron Pardee.

Pardee? One of Bedford Forrest guerilla raiders?

The galant leader of the southern cavalry

and my last command and officer.

Is he still in Presidio?

-Sir, that was over a month ago.

He could be just about any place.

-Could he be across the border... in Chihuahua?

-Who knows?

-But you could find him?

-Now, why do I wanna do that?

You memory of your wife and daughter.

Or because it is your only way out of here

-Well, Colonel. If I could find Pardee? What then?

-Go on home, wherever you want.

Captain Haven will take over from there.

Captain Haven?

-Just the two of us?

-You will have his sergeant along.

-Oh I see. That Yankee and his black and me.

Colonel, I don't wanna hurt anybodys feelings,

..but what's to prevent me to get a bullet in the back

of my head about one second after I point him to Pardee?

-The captain will be under orders.

-I'm sorry sir, but that's just not good enough.

-I want my man of my own along.

-Who?

-Rodriguez.

-Rodriguez? That cut throat breed

sitting in the guard house?

-He knows the country a well as I do

and speaks the language better.

-He is gonna be tried and hung for murder.

Thats why I know he'll volunteer. Now Colonel... It's gonna

be that or nothing!

-You're not going to saddle me with this and that...

-Do you want to undertake this mission, Captain?

-Well, you know that, Colonel

-Then I say in the time we probably have left he is the

only chance slim as it may be.

But if you prefer not to go, there are other officers

I can ask to volunteer.

-That won't be necessary, Colonel

-All right.

You'll give me your word you will get them there?

-My word?

-That's right.

Well Colonel. For whatever it's worth..

..you can have it.

-hey, Lassiter!

-Yes sir, Captain!

You said it would be water.

Where is it? We've been riding all night.
