In your office, waitin'.
Your wife.
Mr Bowie!
- Colonel.
- Buck.
Drunken Hottentot.
Two-bit dandy.
(Travis) Well, the choices are
abandonment, adultery,
or cruel and barbarous treatment.
I think abandonment's most accurate.
Any of the choices would be appropriate.
You sure you want to do this?
Well, we-we signed the papers.
I meant Charlie.
I don't intend this harshly, but
he should have a male example in his life.
I've already made arrangements for him
to stay with a fine family while I'm away.
Well, we have a long way to travel.
Your father's becoming a rich man,
and he'll be able to see to your education.
You're makin' a jackass
outta yourself, Sam.
Vindictive sons of b*tches.
Texas... wasted on the Texians.
They'll come back.
The Mexicans.
A well-trained army,
against all this handful of amateurs.
Only chance we have
is to fight 'em out in the open.
Forts, they're useless,
useless to us.
What is it about
that damn place, anyway?
What place?
The Alamo.
Every time a sour wind blows through,
everybody runs there and hides inside.
Ain't nothin' but mud.
A caved-in church.
And cannon.
Cannon.
Protects my home, Sam.
You don't have no home,
any more than I have.
(Houston sighs)
It's a damn shame about your wife, Jim.
Am I still your general?
You know you are.
I want you to return to the Alamo,
fetch the cannon back.
Will you do that for me?
Will you promise that you'll do that for me?
Yeah.
Now, you mind Mr and Mrs Ayers.
Don't go causing any fuss.
When I return,
we'll get a home of our own.
I promise.
"One crowded hour of glorious life
is worth an age without a name."
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
(woman) Jim Bowie's here!
- (man) Know which one he is?
- Right there.
Welcome to San Antonio, Bowie!
- Welcome home, Jim.
- (woman) Welcome home, Mr Bowie.
Welcome home, Jim.
(faint voices and music)
(# Spanish music)
(music and voices fade)
(man) You all right, Mr James?
I have a home.
Sir?
(man) We know you guys
from somewhere?
(man laughs)
(man #2) Whoo, that one's
pretty dandy, that one.
Halt!
- Have the quartermaster secure billeting.
- Yes, sir.
- Where you going, sir?
- I'd like to see what I'm fightin' for.
Dismount!
It was founded as a mission 100 years ago.
The Bexarenos called it the Alamo,
after Alamo de Parras,
As you can see, it is not designed
with military intentions.
She's well armed.
Most cannon of any fort
west of the Mississippi.
I placed our largest, the 18-pounder, on
the southwest corner, so it fronts the town.
The north wall is in ruins, so I have
two batteries with five cannon to defend it.
What was the original convento
