Geronimo Page #4

---

It smites down those who disbelieve.

I disbelieve.

You're a heathen, Geronimo.

Maybe the Lord will forgive you.

I heard you signed a new paper

that takes away the land.

Washington decides that, brother, not me.

- You've got to talk to Washington.

- He's not here. You are.

- Is that the paper?

- No... Ah... yes.

- And you signed it?

- It was a mistake. I promise I'll tear it up.

Which hand signed the paper?

Which hand?

Pick it up.

Pick it up!

Tie her up.

Savages! Animals!

Apaches!

This'll hold you till the doctor gets here.

Captain. They've cut the lines.

We can't get through.

Ride to Bowie. Tell Crook

I'll prevent them crossing the border.

Yes, sir.

Tell them every horse counts.

Only warriors go.

If they have women, they ride double.

Porica, out.

- Get dressed. I'm going back to Mexico.

- I thought you would.

I've decided I need a woman.

I can teach you.

You need someone to teach you

how to be more than an animal.

- They're taking away the land.

- I know.

But it doesn't mean your way is right.

It's hopeless to fight any more.

Don't you understand?

You don't understand, but I'll change that.

Are you coming?

I asked you a question.

Is that all there is to your question?

Just that you need a woman?

Get up.

No.

- C Company ready for pursuit, sir.

- Very well.

There was a rumour

Burns was going to sell the land.

Yeah, I heard.

- Can I go?

- Sorry, Porica.

Take me with you, Geronimo. I can fight.

There's your horse.

- Let's go.

- Everybody, quick!

Wait here.

A Mexican border patrol.

I'll draw them off. Meet me at Vista Diablo.

Vmonos!

Right back where they were

a few days ago.

They learned a lot in those few days,

didn't they, Captain?

Be careful, Johnny.

One Apache. It's not worth it.

Get these guns cleaned and ready to use.

- Geronimo.

- We're going to fight them.

- Yes, I see.

- No, you don't see at all.

This time we don't fight just to stay alive,

like before.

This time, we declare war.

against the whole United States?

- What kind of a war is that?

- Don't laugh at me.

I'm not laughing.

I'm crying because you're crazy.

Geronimo, we have no chance.

We can't win.

And we'll probably all die.

Even I know that.

No, Mangus.

We can win.

We can win because we have no chance

and yet we fight.

But we've got to fight long enough.

Long enough so the people

of the United States begin to wonder

why such a small handful of men

go on fighting a war

against such a big country as theirs.

Long enough until they ask themselves,

"Why do the Apaches starve and die

instead of surrender?"

That's when they'll begin to understand.

And when they do,

maybe their leader, Mr Washington himself,
