18:40,495 -- 00:18:43,538

BREWER:

Detail, about face.

185

00:
18:45,708 -- 00:18:47,542

Attention, detail!

186

00:
18:47,710 -- 00:18:50,587

GUARD:
You heard the captain.

Stand at attention!

187

00:
18:50,755 -- 00:18:53,423

Guards, get these men back

on their feet!

188

18:53,591 -- 00:18:55,509

[PRISONERS GRUMBLING]

189

00:
19:03,351 -- 00:19:05,560

I'm looking

for commanding officer, 20th Maine.

190

00:
19:05,728 -- 00:19:06,812

You found him.

191

00:
19:06,979 -- 00:19:09,064

TOM:
That's him.

-You're Chamberlain?

192

00:
19:09,982 -- 00:19:12,234

Colonel Chamberlain to you.

193

00:
19:13,945 -- 00:19:15,487

Captain Brewer, sir.

194

00:
19:15,655 -- 00:19:18,031

118th Pennsylvania.

195

00:
19:18,658 -- 00:19:22,077

If you're the commanding officer,

I present you with these prisoners.

196

00:
19:22,245 -- 00:19:23,578

You're welcome to them.

197

00:
19:23,746 -- 00:19:27,040

Lord knows, I had to use the bayonet

to keep them moving.

198

00:
19:28,584 -- 00:19:30,544

You have to sign for them.

199

00:
19:32,171 -- 00:19:34,506

Sign it, lieutenant.

200

00:
19:44,225 -- 00:19:46,852

You are relieved, captain.

201

00:
19:47,603 -- 00:19:51,106

You are authorized to use

whatever force necessary.

202

00:
19:51,274 -- 00:19:53,441

You want to shoot them...

203

00:
19:53,609 -- 00:19:55,485

...go right ahead.

204

00:
19:55,653 -- 00:19:58,029

Won't nobody say nothing.

205

00:
20:03,035 -- 00:20:05,537

I said you are relieved, captain.

206

00:
20:17,884 -- 00:20:21,344

You men can leave now.

We won't need any guards.

207

00:
20:28,227 -- 00:20:32,063

My name is Chamberlain.

I'm the colonel of the 20th Maine.

208

00:
20:34,609 -- 00:20:37,277

When did you have something to eat?

209

00:
20:38,779 -- 00:20:41,948

They're trying to break us

by not feeding us.

210

00:
20:42,450 -- 00:20:43,575

We ain't broke yet.

211

00:
20:44,160 -- 00:20:47,162

They just told me you were coming

a little while ago.

212

00:
20:47,330 -- 00:20:48,955

I'll get the cook going.

213

00:
20:49,123 -- 00:20:51,458

The meat may be raw,

but there's no time to cook.

214

00:
20:51,626 -- 00:20:55,378

We've got quite a ways to go today.

You'll be coming with us, so eat hearty.

215

00:
20:55,546 -- 00:20:58,381

We'll set you up in those trees.

Sergeant Tozier, see to it.

216

00:
20:58,549 -- 00:21:00,342

TOZIER:

Yes, sir.

217

00:
21:01,177 -- 00:21:03,178

Well.

218

00:
21:04,180 -- 00:21:08,391

You boys go eat, then I'll come over

and hear what you have to say.

219

00:
21:11,520 -- 00:21:12,729

Colonel.

220

00:
21:14,565 -- 00:21:16,358

Colonel, we've got grievances.

221

00:
21:20,071 -- 00:21:22,948

The men elected me to talk for them.

222

00:
21:23,115 -- 00:21:26,368

All right. You come along with me.

223

00:
21:26,535 -- 00:21:30,038

The rest of you boys go eat.

We're gonna get moving in a little bit.

224

00:
21:37,713 -- 00:21:39,839

TOZIER:

All right, men, on your feet.

225

00:
21:40,007 -- 00:21:42,592

-Gosh, Lawrence.

-Smile. Don't call me Lawrence.

226

00:
21:42,760 -- 00:21:45,011

-Are they moving?

-Yes, sir.

227

00:
21:45,179 -- 00:21:47,263

TOZIER:

Forward, march.

228

00:
21:47,431 -- 00:21:49,057

LAWRENCE:

What's your name?

229

00:
21:50,226 -- 00:21:53,186

I don't feel too kindly, colonel.

230

00:
21:53,354 -- 00:21:55,981

LAWRENCE:
Yes, well,

I'm usually not this informal.

231

00:
21:56,148 -- 00:21:59,734

I just took command

of this regiment a few days ago.

232

00:
21:59,902 -- 00:22:03,822

Somebody ought to welcome you

to my, uh-- To our outfit.

233

00:
22:03,990 -- 00:22:08,493

They tell me they're holding you fellows

because you signed three-year papers.

234

00:
22:08,661 -- 00:22:11,413

I'm sorry. Would you like some coffee?

235

00:
22:11,580 -- 00:22:13,540

Are you sure?

236

00:
22:15,710 -- 00:22:18,837

-Go ahead. Sit down, Mister....

-Bucklin.

237

00:
22:19,005 -- 00:22:20,547

Joseph Bucklin.

238

00:
22:22,133 -- 00:22:25,969

Listen, Colonel.

I've been in 11 different engagements.

239

00:
22:26,137 -- 00:22:28,054

How many have you been in?

240

00:
22:30,683 -- 00:22:31,766

Not that many.

241

00:
22:31,934 -- 00:22:34,310

It ain't the papers.

242

00:
22:34,478 -- 00:22:37,605

I done my share. We all have.

243

00:
22:37,773 -- 00:22:41,818

Damn good men.

Shouldn't be used this way.

244

00:
22:43,779 -- 00:22:45,530

Look here.

245

00:
22:46,866 -- 00:22:48,950

It went clean through.

246

00:
22:49,452 -- 00:22:51,953

Colonel, we got a courier coming.

247

00:
22:54,665 -- 00:22:58,460

Listen, colonel. I'm tired.

248

00:
22:58,627 -- 00:23:01,046

You know what I mean? I m tired.

249

00:
23:01,213 -- 00:23:05,884

I've had all this army,

all these officers.... This damn Hooker,

this damn idiot Meade.

250

00:
23:06,052 -- 00:23:10,472

All of them. The whole bloody, lousy mess

of sick-brained, potbellied scareheads.

251

00:
23:10,639 -- 00:23:12,807

They ain't fit to lead a johnny detail.

252

00:
23:12,975 -- 00:23:17,604

They ain't fit to pour pee out of a boot

with instructions written under the heel.

253

00:
23:18,522 -- 00:23:19,814

I'm tired.

254

00:
23:20,566 -- 00:23:23,985

We are good men

and we had our own good flag.

255

00:
23:24,153 -- 00:23:28,156

These damn idiots used us

like we were cows or dogs or worse.

256

00:
23:28,324 -- 00:23:29,949

We ain't gonna win this war.

257

00:
23:30,117 -- 00:23:33,453

We can't win with these

lame-brained bastards from West Point.

258

00:
23:33,621 -- 00:23:36,831

These damn gentlemen. These officers!

259

00:
23:38,125 -- 00:23:39,751

KILRAIN:

The courier, sir.

260

00:
23:43,756 -- 00:23:45,256

Don't go away.

261

00:
23:47,635 -- 00:23:49,135

Colonel Chamberlain, sir.

262

00:
23:49,303 -- 00:23:52,514

Colonel Vincent wishes to inform you

the Fifth Corps is moving out.

263

00:
23:52,681 -- 00:23:55,350

You and the 20th Maine Regiment

are instructed to lead.

264

00:
23:55,518 -- 00:23:59,521

20th Maine's assigned first position in line.

Send out advanced guards and flankers.

265

00:
23:59,688 -- 00:24:02,023

LAWRENCE:
Flankers?

-Yes, flankers.

266

00:
24:02,191 -- 00:24:05,318

LAWRENCE:
Right, yes.

My compliments to the colonel.

267

00:
24:05,486 -- 00:24:08,113

Captain Clark, you heard him.

Get the regiment up.

268

00:
24:08,280 -- 00:24:10,323

Sound the assembly. Strike the tents.

269

00:
24:12,368 -- 00:24:15,537

You better get something to eat.

Looks like you could use it.

270

00:
24:15,704 -- 00:24:17,372

Tell your men I'm coming.

271

00:
24:17,540 -- 00:24:20,166

The boys from the Second Maine

are being fed, Lawrence.

272

00:
24:20,334 -- 00:24:21,960

Don't call me Lawrence.

273

00:
24:22,670 -- 00:24:24,671

Damn it, Lawrence. I'm your brother.

274

00:
24:24,839 -- 00:24:27,382

Be careful about the name business
