To have all three of my sons

under my roof again

208

00:
16:51,558 -- 00:16:54,892

fills me with such a deep,

quiet satisfaction

209

00:
16:54,963 -- 00:16:57,261

that I thank God

210

00:
17:49,283 -- 00:17:51,183

There's a friend of yours

211

00:
18:01,128 -- 00:18:03,028

A dollar says

he brings her back

212

00:
18:48,509 -- 00:18:51,306

Whoa

213

00:
18:53,447 -- 00:18:55,607

Easy

214

00:
19:16,035 -- 00:19:18,401

You got it

215

00:
19:31,551 -- 00:19:32,916

Nice work

216

00:
19:34,220 -- 00:19:35,983

You guys look

like ice cream cones

217

00:
19:39,025 -- 00:19:40,583

I know you would have

218

00:
19:40,660 -- 00:19:43,561

Ready Here we go

219

00:
19:53,306 -- 00:19:56,036

Go easy on him, Susannah

220

00:
19:56,108 -- 00:19:57,871

Alfred, you take over

221

00:
19:57,944 -- 00:19:59,206

I must talk to Tristan

222

00:
19:59,278 -- 00:20:02,042

You've disgraced the Colonel's name

223

00:
20:03,583 -- 00:20:07,075

- Nice shiner

- I hit her back

224

00:
20:14,993 -- 00:20:15,495

She's got me spinning

225

00:
20:15,495 -- 00:20:16,427

She's got me spinning

226

00:
20:16,496 -- 00:20:18,157

I'll bet

227

00:
20:18,231 -- 00:20:22,098

She's got these ideas

and theories, and she's so...

228

00:
20:24,804 -- 00:20:26,704

What?

229

00:
20:26,772 -- 00:20:30,571

Nothing

How'd you break the mare?

230

00:
20:32,177 -- 00:20:33,611

She's what?

231

00:
20:36,349 -- 00:20:39,044

She's sort of passionate

232

00:
20:39,117 -- 00:20:41,279

- She a virgin?

- Good Lord, Tristan

233

00:
20:41,354 -- 00:20:43,412

- You brought it up

- Of course she is

234

00:
20:43,488 -- 00:20:45,116

Are you?

235

00:
20:49,561 -- 00:20:52,860

- Yes, I am

- Going to wait till you're married?

236

00:
20:54,132 -- 00:20:56,066

See, she says...

237

00:
20:57,135 -- 00:20:59,160

Susannah thinks that...

238

00:
21:02,040 -- 00:21:03,564

We're not gonna wait

239

00:
21:03,643 -- 00:21:07,339

And you're afraid

you won't meet her expectations?

240

00:
21:08,813 -- 00:21:10,542

I guess I am

241

00:
21:10,615 -- 00:21:14,415

Sort of I don't know

Should I be?

242

00:
21:14,487 -- 00:21:16,647

Samuel, God bless you

243

00:
21:16,721 -- 00:21:19,656

You are good

at everything you try

244

00:
21:19,724 -- 00:21:21,420

I'm sure it will be the same

with f***ing

245

00:
21:21,494 -- 00:21:23,358

Tristan, really

246

00:
21:23,428 -- 00:21:26,261

- She's my future wife

- You're not going to f*** her?

247

00:
21:28,833 -- 00:21:31,859

I'm planning to be with her

248

00:
21:31,937 -- 00:21:33,632

I recommend f***ing

249

00:
21:33,705 -- 00:21:36,833

- You're impossible

- You brought it up

250

00:
21:45,817 -- 00:21:47,284

My point!

251

00:
22:11,909 -- 00:22:13,343

Good morning,

Colonel Ludlow

252

00:
22:13,411 -- 00:22:16,005

Tristan's hunting

He didn't do it

253

00:
22:16,081 -- 00:22:18,743

You don't have to worry

about Tristan

254

00:
22:18,817 -- 00:22:22,650

Meet John T and James O'Banion

They own the mercantile store

255

00:
22:22,721 -- 00:22:27,215

- Morning, James, John T, Sheriff

- Morning, Alfred

256

00:
22:27,291 -- 00:22:31,991

We're looking for a man we heard

might be in this part of the country

257

00:
22:32,063 -- 00:22:34,860

Name is Tom Cullen

Here's a likeness

258

00:
22:38,269 -- 00:22:39,701

What did this fella do?

259

00:
22:39,770 -- 00:22:41,362

Do you recognize him?

260

00:
22:43,274 -- 00:22:45,833

- Yeah, I recognize him

- We got him

261

00:
22:45,910 -- 00:22:48,002

This fellow passed by here

262

00:
22:48,078 -- 00:22:50,171

maybe four or five years ago

263

00:
22:50,247 -- 00:22:54,081

Did some work here

on his way to San Francisco

264

00:
22:54,151 -- 00:22:56,346

He was hoping to book passage

to Australia

265

00:
22:58,188 -- 00:22:59,952

Or Hong Kong

I can't remember

266

00:
23:00,025 -- 00:23:02,458

- Can you remember?

- Hong Kong

267

00:
23:07,097 -- 00:23:09,759

- What is he wanted for?

- He...

268

00:
23:09,833 -- 00:23:11,926

That would be

of a private nature

269

00:
23:12,002 -- 00:23:15,700

"Private nature"?

It's a public office you hold, Sheriff

270

00:
23:17,975 -- 00:23:19,705

Gentlemen

271

00:
23:31,789 -- 00:23:34,280

"There came a low hiss,

a horrid sound

272

00:
23:34,358 -- 00:23:37,088

that made Rikki Tikki Tavi

jump back two clear feet

273

00:
23:37,161 -- 00:23:39,095

And then out of the grass

274

00:
23:39,163 -- 00:23:42,098

rose up the head

and spread hood of Nag

275

00:
23:42,166 -- 00:23:44,157

the big black cobra"

276

00:
23:44,234 -- 00:23:45,826

I can read another story

277

00:
23:45,902 -- 00:23:48,804

The Germans broke through

at Armentieres

278

00:
23:48,872 -- 00:23:52,433

The British are trapped

in the Belgian lowlands

279

00:
23:52,509 -- 00:23:55,410

- This paper is a week old!

- Calm down

280

00:
23:55,479 -- 00:23:57,447

With my fluent German,

I could become an officer

281

00:
23:57,514 -- 00:24:00,108

And lead other boys to the slaughter

and be slaughtered yourself

282

00:
24:00,183 -- 00:24:02,243

The men who served under you

worshipped you

283

00:
24:02,319 -- 00:24:04,082

They were all damn fools

284

00:
24:04,154 -- 00:24:06,485

This is a turning point

in history

285

00:
24:06,556 -- 00:24:07,990

- How can we...

- What?

286

00:
24:08,058 -- 00:24:09,923

You can't expect us not to

be part of this

287

00:
24:09,993 -- 00:24:12,790

- You taught us...

- To think for yourselves

288

00:
24:12,862 -- 00:24:15,661

- And to defend what's ours

- Yes, what is ours!

289

00:
24:15,733 -- 00:24:18,201

We've already lost two cousins

290

00:
24:18,268 -- 00:24:21,794

Who we've never met! Don't talk at me

as though I've never seen a war!

291

00:
24:25,608 -- 00:24:27,041

Not a war like this

292

00:
24:27,111 -- 00:24:31,706

They said that about the War

of Secession and the Indian wars

293

00:
24:31,781 -- 00:24:34,978

They say it to sell newspapers

294

00:
24:35,051 -- 00:24:38,317

These are not the Indian wars

We're fighting against naked aggression!

295

00:
24:38,388 -- 00:24:41,151

There will be no more talk of wars

in this house! Damn it!

296

00:
24:44,394 -- 00:24:45,826

I'm sorry, Susannah

297

00:
24:49,599 -- 00:24:51,533

I'm going to Canada to enlist

298

00:
24:56,739 -- 00:24:58,730

I'm going with him

299

00:
25:10,586 -- 00:25:12,178

I'm sorry, my love

300

00:
25:12,255 -- 00:25:14,280

I meant to speak to you tonight

301

00:
25:14,357 -- 00:25:17,690

I know you'll understand

It's the only honorable thing to do

302

00:
25:29,739 -- 00:25:31,172

What's that?

303

00:
25:31,240 -- 00:25:33,674

It's a book my father wrote

304

00:
25:35,478 -- 00:25:39,437

to try to convince the government

to alter their policies

305

00:
25:39,515 -- 00:25:41,745

towards the Indians

in the Dakotas

306

00:
25:45,054 -- 00:25:47,249

Samuel won't change his mind

307

00:
25:47,323 -- 00:25:48,755

Change it for him

308
