633

00:
52:42,076 -- 00:52:44,744

He don't need his whole division.

634

00:
52:45,996 -- 00:52:47,372

That's right.

635

00:
52:47,540 -- 00:52:50,750

Does Devin report any activity on his front

over to the right?

636

00:
52:50,918 -- 00:52:53,044

-No, sir. Not a lick.

BUFORD:
All right.

637

00:
52:53,546 -- 00:52:56,256

I'll have Devin leave his cover

and withdraw his boys...

638

00:
52:56,423 -- 00:53:00,093

...and have them move in alongside you,

lengthening your line.

639

00:
53:00,261 -- 00:53:03,179

When Heth gets back,

he'll run into two brigades.

640

00:
53:03,347 -- 00:53:05,807

That ought to hold him

until Reynolds gets here.

641

00:
53:05,975 -- 00:53:07,433

Right, sir.

642

00:
53:11,522 -- 00:53:16,317

Damn sure glad the rain is gone.

Don't want anything to slow up Reynolds.

643

00:
53:20,489 -- 00:53:22,156

Take care of yourself, colonel.

644

00:
53:23,117 -- 00:53:25,910

Don't worry about me, sir.

I'm the soul of caution.

That flank.... Hold it!

651

55:15,604 -- 00:55:18,064

OFFICER:

Stand fast, keep up your fire!

652

00:
55:18,232 -- 00:55:22,360

Keep up your fire!

Pour it into them, boys! Pour it into them!

653

00:
55:22,528 -- 00:55:23,820

Keep up your fire!

AIDE:

Gamble's down, sir.

655

00:
55:35,749 -- 00:55:38,084

Colonel Gamble, but he's not hurt bad, sir.

I'm all right, I m all right.

658

00:
55:49,555 -- 00:55:51,097

It was close, that's all.

659

00:

DEVIN'S AIDE:
Col. Devin's compliments.

No problem on the right.

660

00:
56:04,153 -- 00:56:06,738

They came up close,

but we put in the reserve.

661

00:
56:06,905 -- 00:56:08,448

We didn't put it all in, sir.

662

00:
56:08,615 -- 00:56:10,616

Wishes to know

if you have further orders.

663

00:
56:10,784 -- 00:56:13,619

Tell Devin all reserve forward, now.

Keep up your fire!

[HORSE NEIGHS]

668

00:
57:28,987 -- 00:57:31,405

Sir, it's General Reynolds.

669

00:
57:44,920 -- 00:57:46,546

BUFORD:

Thank God.

670

00:
57:55,681 -- 00:57:56,848

REYNOLDS:

What goes, John?

671

00:
57:57,015 -- 00:57:58,766

There's the devil to pay!

672

00:
57:58,934 -- 00:58:01,686

-Can you hold?

BUFORD:
I reckon I can.

673

00:
58:04,606 -- 00:58:08,901

Captain, ride as fast as you can

to General Meade.

674

00:
58:09,069 -- 00:58:11,571

Tell him the enemy is advancing

in strong force.

675

00:
58:11,738 -- 00:58:14,448

I'm afraid they'll get to the heights

beyond the town before we will.

676

00:
58:14,616 -- 00:58:18,703

We'll fight them here, inch by inch,

through the town if necessary.

677

00:
58:18,871 -- 00:58:20,288

-Yes, sir.

-Lieutenant.

678

00:
58:20,455 -- 00:58:25,126

Go into town, tell the people to stay in

off of the streets, especially children.

679

00:
58:25,294 -- 00:58:28,880

There's liable to be

a fair-sized dispute here today.

680

00:
58:30,215 -- 00:58:32,967

Joe, how can you see anything

with those things on?

681

00:
58:56,116 -- 00:58:58,951

General. Damn glad to see you.

682

00:
58:59,119 -- 00:59:02,413

First corps is coming up.

The 11th is right behind it.

683

00:
59:02,581 -- 00:59:05,082

-Good job, John.

-Thank you.

684

00:
59:05,250 -- 00:59:07,668

I don't think they knew until now

what they were up against.

685

00:
59:07,836 -- 00:59:10,296

Now that you're here,

they still don't know.

686

00:
59:10,464 -- 00:59:12,840

Well, they'll be coming back.

Very good.

687

00:
59:13,008 -- 00:59:16,093

Heth'll come in here thinking he's up

against two tired cavalry brigades.

688

00:
59:16,261 -- 00:59:19,138

Instead he'll be hitting two corps

of fresh Union infantry.

689

00:
59:19,306 -- 00:59:21,557

Yes, sir. Poor Harry.

690

00:
59:21,725 -- 00:59:23,809

You can pull your boys out

as soon as we set up.

691

00:
59:23,977 -- 00:59:27,480

Put them out on my flanks.

Good cavalry on both flanks.

692

00:
59:27,648 -- 00:59:31,984

Yes, sir. Well, John, most of my life

I've been leery...

693

00:
59:32,152 -- 00:59:33,903

...about the appearance

of high command.

694

00:
59:35,280 -- 00:59:37,823

But, John, I sure am glad to see you.

695

00:
59:39,159 -- 00:59:42,078

Gentlemen, place the troops.

696

00:
59:51,338 -- 00:59:52,672

REYNOLDS:

Now, John...

697

00:
59:52,839 -- 00:59:55,883

...Heth probably has 10,000 men

coming down that road, wouldn't you say?

698

00:
59:56,051 -- 00:59:58,135

BUFORD:
Yes, sir.

But there'll be more behind him.

699

00:
59:58,303 -- 01:00:02,265

REYNOLDS:
We can put almost 20,000

in the field. We're in good shape, I think.

700

01:
00:02,432 -- 01:00:04,016

BUFORD:

For a while, sir.

701

01:
00:04,184 -- 01:00:08,980

I'm sending messages to all commanders

to come here with all possible speed.

702

01:
00:13,694 -- 01:00:15,736

It's lovely ground.

703

01:
00:17,197 -- 01:00:19,907

BUFORD:

I thought so, sir.

704

01:
00:21,034 -- 01:00:24,203

Now let's go surprise Harry Heth.

705

01:
00:37,592 -- 01:00:39,302

LEE:

Come on.

706

01:
00:44,391 -- 01:00:46,726

-General Heth.

HETH:
Sir. I beg to report.

707

01:
00:46,935 -- 01:00:48,227

LEE:

Yes.

708

01:
00:48,395 -- 01:00:50,813

HETH:
Very strange, sir.

The situation is very confused.

709

01:
00:50,981 -- 01:00:52,189

LEE:

What happened?

710

01:
00:52,357 -- 01:00:54,734

I moved in this morning, as directed.

711

01:
00:55,027 -- 01:00:58,988

I thought it was only a few militia,

but it was dismounted cavalry, sir.

712

01:
00:59,156 -- 01:01:02,491

There weren't all that many,

and the boys wouldn't hold back.

713

01:
01:02,659 -- 01:01:05,411

I thought we shouldn't be stopped

by a few dismounted cavalry...

714

01:
01:05,579 -- 01:01:07,288

...but they made a good fight.

715

01:
01:07,456 -- 01:01:09,915

They really put up a scrap, sir.

716

01:
01:10,083 -- 01:01:11,417

Go on, general.

717

01:
01:11,585 -- 01:01:13,878

HETH:

Well, sir, they wouldn't leave.

718

01:
01:14,046 -- 01:01:15,713

My boys got their dander up.

719

01:
01:15,881 -- 01:01:18,257

We deployed the whole division

and went after them.

720

01:
01:18,425 -- 01:01:21,052

We just about had them running

then all of a sudden...

721

01:
01:21,219 -- 01:01:22,762

...they got infantry support.

722

01:
01:22,929 -- 01:01:24,263

We got pushed back.

723

01:
01:24,431 -- 01:01:29,268

Then we re-formed and tried again.
