Geronimo Page #5

will come right here,

and he'll have a new treaty.

A treaty that says how important it is

for all men to be proud and strong.

And believe in what they are.

I love you.

Of course, you have no sense.

You have a soul but no sense.

You think Mr Washington himself

will leave his house and come right here?

- I don't know.

- Well, who knows?

Maybe.

Company, halt!

- In the gully, sir.

- Forward, ho!

At San Carlos

I was waiting for an opportunity

to put a bullet through Geronimo.

I shouldn't have waited.

This time he's declared himself at war.

Maybe now we won't have to wait

for him to come to us.

Attention.

Gentlemen, we have just received

permission from the Mexican government

to cross the border in pursuit of Geronimo.

This is Colonel Morales.

He'll act as liaison

between our governments

and assign men

to accompany you on your details.

My government

is pleased to be of assistance.

With Mexico's aid, we've arranged to patrol

every river, every camping ground,

every possible route into the United States.

Now, God willing, we can bring an end

to this so-called war. Rest.

- General Crook? Sir?

- Yes?

- What about terms, General?

- Terms?

- Suppose they want to arbitrate?

- The orders are no terms.

Unconditional surrender.

Lieutenant, you were at San Carlos,

weren't you?

Lieutenant Delahay,

C Company, Third Cavalry.

What's bothering you, Lieutenant?

Just human compassion.

I know who I'm fighting.

I'm not sure I understand why.

I wouldn't think about it personally.

You can't afford to. It's a job.

That's the way you have to look at it.

Is that the way you look at it, sir?

Don't set yourself up as a judge,

Mr Delahay. That could be a fatal mistake.

Yes, sir.

Captain Watson, Captain Burke,

proceed with your companies

to the east and south of Hermosillo.

They're crossing all along here. And here.

They've signed a paper with Mexico.

They must have talked

with Mr Washington.

Right this minute he's probably saying,

"Now the Apaches will have to surrender. "

We're running out of food.

Soon the patrols will be everywhere.

But they'll never find us up here.

Huh, Natchez? Never.

Mangus, it's almost time.

Oh.

Come.

North.

South.

East.

West.

The first step is always the most difficult.

He's a fine boy.

You notice he looks just like me?

I mean, my better side.

I mean, when I'm dead,

people will look at him and say,

"There goes Mangus.

"Handsome, wasn't he?"

Even in war, life...

life goes on.

Here, you ought to try it sometime.

Geronimo, what about Nitah? Hm?

- Nitah?

- My cousin.

She's right behind you. Don't turn around.

- No.

- Why not?

- She's my cousin. What's wrong with her?
