Fort Yuma Page #4

Synopsis: A disgruntled settler kills an Apache chief at Fort Yuma, and the fort's commander knows that the chief's son, Manga Colorado, will seek revenge and go on the warpath. He sends word by a courier to Fort Apache where a supply column is due to head across the desert to Fort Yuman, but the courier is killed by Mangas. The column, under the command of Lieutenant Ben Keegan who hates Apaches because he doesn't trust them, and because his assigned scout is Jonas, the brother of an Apache girl, Francesca, whom Keegan has been having an affair with. Also accompanying them is Melanie Crowne, who is going to do missionary work among the Apaches. Mangas attacks the column wiping out everybody but Keegan, Jonas and Melanie. Francesca is killed while trying to warn Keegan, and he realizes how foolish he had been in his prejudice and in keeping his love secret. The Apaches, dressed in the uniforms of the dead soldier, plan to gain entrance to Fort Yuma and massacre the men there.

If he keeps yelling like that,

they will find him.

Francesca.

Ben, no.

Francesca.

Ben.

I... I love you.

Francesca.

Francesca.

They moving on to the fort

wearing our uniforms.

If they get inside the walls,

the closed ones won't stand a chance.

This isn't my fight anymore.

Let them burn it to the ground.

- Jonas.

- I don't fight my people anymore.

- Not for men like him.

- No, Jonas.

Not for men like him, but for the Hallocks,

the Taylors, and the men at the waterholes.

Do you know why they died?

Because there was a barrier.

An invisible wall

between the white men and the Indian.

Jonas, this was Francesca's fight.

It is our fight.

Or is there still a wall between us?

Try to find some loose horses.

And bring them back here.

Look, it doesn't make

any difference now.

She's dead and I can't

bring her back.

Things could have been different.

I could've made them different.

That's something you

won't have to remember.

Do what you like about me later.

Right now, let's find some horses.

Sergeant of the Guard.

Column approaching.

- Column is approaching fort, sir.

- It must be the troops from Fort Apache.

- Open the gate.

- Yes, sir.

Open the gate.

- The gates of the ford are open.

- We make a passing now.

It would be better if

you remained here.

They are the Apaches, sir,

dressed like troopers.

Close the gates!

Open the gates, open them!

Honey.

I can think of a lot of things,

I'd like to say to you now.

I'll take your regards to the general.

He likes to be right, you know.

When he tried to bring

the two worlds together.

It is the individuals that count.

See you next trip.

- Goodbye, Lieutenant.

- Goodbye, Ben.
