He's headed this way.
371
00:
33:07,069 -- 00:33:08,319Sir?
372
00:
33:08,487 -- 00:33:10,571Lee's turned. That's the main body.
373
00:
33:10,739 -- 00:33:12,031You think so?
374
00:
33:13,033 -- 00:33:16,202-I thought they were going to Harrisburg.
-He was.
375
00:
33:16,411 -- 00:33:19,413That's too many troops
to be a raiding party.
376
00:
33:19,581 -- 00:33:21,499377
00:
33:21,667 -- 00:33:25,294Sir, if you want to fight here,
this is such lovely ground.
378
00:
33:26,046 -- 00:33:28,255It's the best damn ground
I've seen all day.
379
00:
33:28,423 -- 00:33:29,715It is that.
380
00:
33:35,055 -- 00:33:37,556BUFORD:
We'll move both brigadesinto town.
381
00:
33:37,724 -- 00:33:40,601That'll make the good citizens happy.
382
00:
33:41,895 -- 00:33:43,354Let's go down and have a look.
383
00:
33:43,522 -- 00:33:45,773Sir.
384
00:
34:12,968 -- 00:34:16,053[MARCHING MUSIC PLAYING]
385
00:
34:27,733 -- 00:34:30,109[WOMEN CHATTERING]
386
00:
34:30,277 -- 00:34:34,155-Soldier, your shirt needs mending.
-I thought the war was in Virginia.
387
00:
34:36,616 -- 00:34:38,325MAN:
What division are you boys with?
388
00:
34:48,253 -- 00:34:49,879Colonel, do you mind?
389
00:
34:50,172 -- 00:34:53,632A good officer doesn't ride all day.
I've been sitting too long anyway.
390
00:
34:53,842 -- 00:34:55,384TOM:
What do you think?
391
00:
34:55,552 -- 00:34:58,137-What do you think?
-About what?
392
00:
34:58,305 -- 00:35:00,347About the Second Maine boys, what else?
393
00:
35:00,515 -- 00:35:04,685-Are any of them going to join us?
-Would you believe it? All but six!
394
00:
35:04,853 -- 00:35:05,853What?
395
00:
35:06,021 -- 00:35:09,023114 voted to pick up the rifle.
396
00:
35:09,191 -- 00:35:12,193-Well, I'll be.
-You did good, brother, real good!
397
00:
35:12,360 -- 00:35:14,361Good. See to it they march together.
398
00:
35:14,529 -- 00:35:17,281Yes. Glazier's got the hardheads in tow.
There are six.
399
00:
35:17,449 -- 00:35:19,700Get the names.
Put them in different companies.
400
00:
35:19,868 -- 00:35:22,036I want them spread out,
not bunched together.
401
00:
35:22,204 -- 00:35:25,790-I'll see about their muskets.
-Colonel, sir.
402
00:
35:30,670 -- 00:35:34,632BUFORD:
Keep the patrols out.Scout this bunch in front of us.
403
00:
35:34,800 -- 00:35:39,345Also scout up north. They'll be
coming over that way from Carlisle.
404
00:
35:39,971 -- 00:35:42,056I think Lee's turned the whole army...
405
00:
35:42,224 -- 00:35:44,225...headed this way,
trying to get around us...
406
00:
35:44,392 -- 00:35:46,560...get between Meade and Washington.
407
00:
35:49,731 -- 00:35:53,192If I'm right, there'll be a lot
of troops up this road...
408
00:
35:53,360 -- 00:35:55,736...and down that northern road too,
so hop to it.
409
00:
35:55,904 -- 00:35:56,946Sir.
410
00:
36:06,164 -- 00:36:07,873[BELL TOLLING]
411
00:
36:08,041 -- 00:36:11,669By God, I can't believe
they're coming this far north.
412
00:
36:11,837 -- 00:36:14,588Can I have a ride on your pony?
413
00:
36:18,677 -- 00:36:20,970There's Johnny Rebs everywhere.
414
00:
36:21,137 -- 00:36:22,721Sure am glad to see you fellas.
415
00:
36:22,889 -- 00:36:24,181Your servant, ma'am.
416
00:
36:24,349 -- 00:36:26,517Is there going to be a disturbance
in our town?
417
00:
36:26,685 -- 00:36:28,727Nothing the cavalry can't handle.
418
00:
36:33,608 -- 00:36:35,943Never knew you were such a cavalier.
419
00:
36:36,111 -- 00:36:40,406I'm just not as shy and reserved
as you, sir. Beg your pardon.
420
00:
36:40,574 -- 00:36:43,826Yeah, I m about as shy as
a regiment at full gallop.
421
00:
36:43,994 -- 00:36:46,579Rebel raiding parties
have been here for days.
422
00:
36:46,746 -- 00:36:50,082Peeled the land of every cow,
chicken and hog.
423
00:
36:50,250 -- 00:36:53,544Can't chew a plow horse with
what they didn't take.
424
00:
36:54,546 -- 00:36:56,797Bobby Lee's up this road
a piece.
425
00:
36:56,965 -- 00:37:00,759Got the whole army of
Northern Virginia with him.
426
00:
37:00,927 -- 00:37:04,305I recommend you good folks get back
to your homes and stay indoors.
427
00:
37:04,472 -- 00:37:05,931Yeah, for how long?
428
00:
37:06,099 -- 00:37:08,601Till the shooting stops.
429
00:
37:11,563 -- 00:37:17,359Something about the mayor and politicians
and dignitaries that troubles me a bit.
430
00:
37:17,527 -- 00:37:20,279They're too fat and they talk too much.
431
00:
37:20,447 -- 00:37:24,074about asking a man to die for them.
432
00:
38:39,526 -- 00:38:41,610You know what's happening here
in the morning?
433
00:
38:41,778 -- 00:38:42,903Sir?
434
00:
38:43,071 -- 00:38:46,156is gonna be here.
435
00:
38:46,324 -- 00:38:49,618They'll move through this town,
occupy the hills on the other side.
436
00:
38:49,786 -- 00:38:53,998When our people arrive, Lee'll have
high ground. There'll be the devil to pay.
437
00:
38:54,165 -- 00:38:55,749The high ground!
438
00:
38:57,919 -- 00:39:03,757Meade will come in slowly, cautiously,
new to command.
439
00:
39:03,925 -- 00:39:06,885They'll be on his back from Washington.
440
00:
39:07,053 -- 00:39:11,306Wires hot with messages. Attack! Attack!
441
00:
39:12,726 -- 00:39:16,103So he will set up a ring
around these hills.
442
00:
39:17,063 -- 00:39:21,483And when Lee's army is nicely entrenched
behind fat rocks on the high ground...
443
00:
39:21,651 -- 00:39:24,528...Meade will finally attack,
if he can coordinate the army.
444
00:
39:25,113 -- 00:39:28,157Straight up the hillside, out in the open...
445
00:
39:28,324 -- 00:39:31,577...in that gorgeous field of fire.
446
00:
39:32,579 -- 00:39:37,666We will charge valiantly
and be butchered valiantly.
447
00:
39:42,630 -- 00:39:46,633And afterward, men in tall hats and
gold watch fobs will thump their chest...
448
00:
39:46,801 -- 00:39:49,845...and say what a brave charge it was.
449
00:
39:58,146 -- 00:40:00,981Devin, I've led a soldier's life...
450
00:
40:01,149 -- 00:40:04,985...and I've never seen anything
451
00:
40:05,153 -- 00:40:09,823It's as if I can actually see the blue troops
in one long bloody moment...
452
00:
40:09,991 -- 00:40:13,410...going up the long slope
to the stony top...
453
00:
40:14,579 -- 00:40:17,039...as if it were already done...
454
00:
40:17,207 -- 00:40:19,541...and already a memory.
455
00:
40:19,709 -- 00:40:22,878An odd, set...
456
00:
40:23,046 -- 00:40:25,798...stony quality to it.
457
00:
40:27,008 -- 00:40:31,136As if tomorrow has already happened
and there's nothing you can do about it.
458
00:
40:32,180 -- 00:40:35,099The way you sometimes feel
before an ill-considered attack...
