Change of orders from Regina.
No patrols to leave until we're
reinforced by Colonel lrvine.
lt'll take a week. By then Corbeau
will have Big Bear on the warpath.
And the Black feet.
-Couldn't you wire Regina?
-No!
The wires were cut two minutes
after this came through.
Does the order prohibit
sending out a single scout?
No.
l'd like your permission to proceed
to Big Bear's camp alone
-and try to keep him loyal.
-No! Only a loon would do it.
lt's a ticklish job,
but permission is granted.
l'll leave at once, sir.
l'll leave at the same time.
l'd be grateful if you'd
bind and gag this Texan.
-Where do you want to go?
l figured to pick up Corbeau
in Batoche.
-Why do you think he's there?
-That's Riel's capital, isn't it?
You can't make an arrest in Canada.
lf l got to have a nurse...
give me the Scotchman.
McDuff, you'll
accompany Mr. Rivers.
And gentlemen
l hope you keep your scalps.
A nurse, at my time of life...
-Good hunting.
-Thanks.
-Sure you make that fast.
-Alright miss.
Climb aboard McDuff.
-Where are you going?
-Batoche.
-l wish it was 1000 miles.
-Seat's too hard for 20 miles.
Lady, to me it's just
like sitting on a cloud.
Get!
-Are you riding with us Jim?
-No. The other way.
l'll send you a postcard.
Canada is a lot different
from what l expected.
The scenery?
-No, the people.
-Haven't had much time to tell.
Sometimes it strikes you
at first sight...
l mean...
by the way he handles his horse
but women are different.
What did you expect
Canadian women to be like?
Like the scenery: good to look
at but kind of frostbitten.
But you're not.
l've always understood Americans
were too busy building,
and selling and shooting each other
to waste time saying
nice things to women.
-We get around to it now and then.
-Must be appreciated by your wife.
-Who's wife?
-Aren't you married?
l've always held that
never makes
the same mistake once.
You believe that?
Do you think a plant from up here
would do alright in Texas?
l don't know Texas.
Even the moonlight's warm and soft
along the Pecos River.
Do you have fast horses
in Texas Mr. Rivers?
The fastest in the world.
Betting they cannot
keep up with the men?
Look!
-What happened, Mrs. Burns?
-Don't go into Batoche.
-They've looted the Trading Post.
-And driven us from our homes.
-He tried to keep order but...
when Corbeau got there...
-Corbeau?
-Yes.
Excuse me, lady.
Enough!
Just one thing more.
Riel can tell you how this
new government sets up.
But l'll tell you how
it's going to win.
10,000 lndians turn loose
on Saskatchewan.
They'll be nobody left to pull
down this government
when l'm finished.
Canadian woman
who has so sweet the eyes,
who has so sweet the eyes,
who has so sweet the eyes,
who has so sweet the eyes,
who has so sweet the eyes,
Gentlemen,
Corbeau has promised you
the backing of Big Bear.
When Big Bear leads
the Cree nation upon the war path
the Black Feet will rise with him.
Our fire of wrath will
consume its oppressors.
From it will arise,
not half-breed,
but a free and
independent Metis nation.
Don't mind me, mister.
Go right ahead.
Duroc, who is he?
He's officer from United States.
Want talk with Canada Government.
l bring him here.
They found out quick.
Hey!
l'm a Deputy US Marshal, Mr. Riel
-And...
-You know my name.
Sure! Who don't?
Here's my credentials.
We'd be happy to know
if your new government
means to work hand in hand
with the United States.
The Metis of Canada will be happy
to cooperate with the USA.
Suppose some fellow commits
a crime in our country
then trails up here to hide out.
We'll help you in every way
just as we hope you will help us.
That's fine because
l got a warrant here for the arrest
of a man named Jacques Corbeau.
On a charge of murder.
Gentlemen!
Council is recessed.
Wait here.
That put a bee in Riel's bonnet.
-This bee on your bonnet.
-What's the matter with it?
-My first bullet shoots him off.
-Why you wanna ruin my bonnet?
Just so you know it is me
The one that go between your eye.
l'll make you a small wager.
50 cents
that l put a bullet through
your vengeful heart
before you shoot the knob
from my bonnet.
l take that bet and l take
the money from your pocket
because you'll be dead.
Corbeau.
-For what?
-You.
-Well?
my government for your arrest.
-Why don't you give it to him?
-But we need you for the lndians.
ln two hours give him your warrant.
Tell him l'm in Big Bear's camp.
He can arrest me there.
that camp alive.
You don't want him killed here,
do you Louis?
At an lndian camp,
who cares?
Once the Cree warriors
were free men.
Canada belonged to you and to us.
Well it's gonna be ours again.
Take the warpath with us.
Fight!
Fight like you used to fight,
and not one of these prairie cops
will be buried with his scalp on.
Big Bear, that medal
you wear is the Queen's.
The great white mother who sent
food to you when you starved.
You're too wise to let a liar
Men say Queen no longer rule us.
Redcoat no more our friend.
This is our friend that bites
with a thousand teeth of fire.
Make gun talk to them.
-lt'll tear it to rags.
-Squaw make new lodge.
A hole in the tent won't
change the British Empire.
This man is going to hang.
l don't want to see you beside him.
Make gun talk.
Two more strangers.
l want his scalp.
l know him.
Well you sure found
Corbeau alright.
You're as welcome as a broken leg.
Ahkakito, who these men?
Spies to count your men and horses.
His tongue is forked.
He said he came alone.
This man is no spy.
He comes from afar to take
Corbeau who killed in his nation.
Corbeau because he has killed here.
Are you afraid of Redcoats?
Their blood spills like other men's.
Look here Chief.
Before you turn that man over
to the Mounted Police,
l got an order for his arrest
not only from the US,
but from his own Chief, Riel.
And if you...
l'm paid 72 cents a day
Peace.
We got no war with the Redcoat.
Yet. But they
no take away my friend.
You both come alone,
you both go alone.
l have spoken.
Big Bear was a great chief.
His friends will be sorry for him.
Now you die.
You can kill me and take this back
but its medicine will be gone.
The great white mother gave you this
to let you rule over thousands.
You are not chief
unless she gives it back to you.
Big Bear will join his blood
brother and fight for Riel.
Go.
Big Bear,
you're a great Chief.
Why we heard of you
way down in Texas.
But how do you know
who's the best fighter?
