(EXPLOSION)
Well, we're near
the end of our journey.
Mr. Marsh, our enforced association
has been most agreeable.
For me, it's been a distinct
pleasure, Mr. Paige.
Hard to believe that 2,000 miles
from this peaceful territory,
an unfortunate war is rending
Yes, we can be thankful that the differences
between the North and the South
haven't yet touched
the Dakota territory.
Those horsemen are chasing us.
- I haven't even got a gun, have you?
- No.
(GUNS FIRING)
Hurry, man! Hurry!
(GUNS CONTINUE FIRING)
Whoa!
Get out, both of you.
Well, sir, I suppose
you intend to rob us.
You may as well do likewise
and perhaps we can
get on with our journey.
Keep your money, sir.
We're only interested
in your dispatch case.
There's nothing in it of value,
only some unimportant papers.
Signed by
Mr. Lincoln?
Why, yes.
And they're not
important, Mr. Paige?
You know my name?
And that of your
travelling companion.
Brock Marsh, I believe.
John Lawrence?
Right.
Most happy to welcome you, sir.
Proud to know you. I've looked
forward to this moment.
These are our friends.
Warren, Stone, Gibbs.
Howdy.
Mr. Paige, your
dispatch case, please.
This is an outrage.
I represent the President.
I am in the employ
of the government,
empowered to make treaty
with the Sioux Indians.
We knew that before
you left Washington.
We even know about the gold that's
following you in a few days.
That gold is a peace
offering to the Sioux tribe,
from President Abraham Lincoln.
more worthwhile purpose
in the treasury of
President Jefferson Davis.
I take it I'm dealing
with traitors.
Traitors, rebels.
Whatever you Yankees
choose to call us.
We serve the government
of the Confederacy.
give you all the identification
that you need in town.
A letter of introduction
to Judge Baker. Everything.
You mean you are going
to masquerade as me?
To the best of my ability.
You see, I'm as much as a stranger
in this territory as you.
Then, what's to
become of me, sir?
You will be kept safe
in a place we know of
until this business is over.
Just a matter of days.
He mustn't escape, sir.
We have too much at stake.
You have nothing to worry about.
Warren, you'll be in charge
until we meet tonight.
I'll go on ahead.
I have a stop to make with
some of our Indian friends.
But I hope to be
in town when you arrive.
And you'd better remember
your new name.
Zachary Paige. It's my neck
in a rope if I forget.
And remember, too,
no matter what happens,
we're strangers to each other.
If you get into trouble,
I won't be able to help you.
It's up to you now.
Good luck.
Mr. Paige.
I don't care to
talk to you, sir.
Earlier today, I told you
that our journey together
had been a distinct
pleasure for me.
I lied.
- You see, I knew how it would end.
- Indeed.
- You had the advantage of me, sir.
- Yes.
I'm sorry.
But in war we have to do
What's this mean?
John left strict
instructions about this man.
He was perfectly safe with us.
He was not perfectly safe
as long as he was alive.
If I may say so,
neither was my neck.
Listen, Marsh, if you're only
worried about your neck...
I am.
My neck is most
important to our plan.
And nothing must stand
in the way of this plan.
Nothing.
Bury him.
(URGING HORSES)
(ALL CHATTERING)
What's the matter here?
Where's my driver?
Right in there.
What happened to him?
We were attacked by
a small band of Indians
