North West Mounted Police Page #6

You break the heart.

-Always l know you lie to me.

-No!

But that lie is sweet

and my heart,

she sing like a bird.

l don't live without you, Ronnie.

You crazy little loon.

What do you think you'll do?

-l'm going.

-No, you won't.

You're the sweetest poison

that ever got in a man's blood.

l love you.

l want you.

We'll be in Batoche in one hour.

Maybe less.

Ten minutes with the priest.

An hour to get back here.

Ronnie!

l'll leave word for Jerry he'll have

to take15 minutes of my guard.

He'll yell, but he's a good egg.

Ronnie!

Ronnie, they're coming.

Wake up, Ronnie.

Get back to the fort!

The half-breeds ride.

Warn the force! Ambush...

-What happened to this town?

-They all go Prince Albert

to fight for Louis Riel.

We wait in here

for Father Piccard.

lt's dark as a weasel's bedroom.

Louvette!

The rifle!

Quick, Louvette!

The gun!

You don't need gun now, Ronnie.

Tie him here.

You crawling black scum!

-Shut up.

-Don't you hit him.

-Get out. Get out.

-Pay now.

Get out.

Get out.

Well, come on.

-Cut me loose.

-l got to keep you here.

lf l don't you be killed

like the others.

You sneaking shewolf.

Killed? Like what others?

ln Duck Lake woods 1,000 half

breed make trap for Redcoat.

The whole force

will be cut to pieces.

-Every man of them.

-Yeah.

But you're alive is all l care.

You, dirty squaw.

Why didn't you tell me?

l'll kill you

when l get loose.

When you be safe

you kill me all you want.

Back to the column. Warn them

the outpost's been killed.

Danger of enemy on all sides.

Gallop.

You'd better get back

with the column.

Thanks.

That blue eyed klootch

has got him.

-That's destroying evidence.

-Which might put that boy

in front of a firing squad.

lf the whole column rides

into a death trap

he'll deserve whatever he gets.

l was thinking of his sister.

Do you think it'll help to make

her pay for his mistakes?

Somebody's paying for it

right now.

Sound commence firing.

Take what cover you can find!

-Turn the wagons over for barricades!

-Yes, sir!

Bring those wagons forward!

Steady men!

-Load!

-That gun!

She speak death like

the rattling snake.

Yes. She'll get me them

red coats for Big Bear.

Now that side!

Sergeant Bret and that Texan

are coming through.

-Give them fire cover!

-Yes, sir.

Clear there...

-Help the Sergeant.

-He's alright.

You got nine lives, Sergeant.

Have a spill bud?

No, thanks, just had one.

Keep your heads covered men.

Still got one good arm Bill, use it.

Take your time!

Don't waste a shot!

-Look at that hat. 20 bucks.

-Wear a feather.

Get us out of this crossfire.

Fall back on Carlton.

Yes, sir.

Palmer, Rankin, root out

that snipers nest to the rear.

-Right that wagon for the wounded.

-Right.

First section,

open the Carlton road.

Sections on the right,

fall back 50 yards.

Left sections hold fast.

Bugler, sound retire

and continue firing.

Pick up all rifles.

Don't leave any ammunition.

Give me 10 men and l'll hold

the road while you drop back.

You drop back with the men.

l'll hold the road.

l can't hear you.

Louvette.

Let me go to them.

l'll do anything.

l'll give you anything.

No, Ronnie.

l don't let you be killed.

Doctor!

-We're back at Fort Carlton.

-How many got back?

-We don't know yet, sir.

-Many?

No, sir.

They were in the woods thicker

than boiled beans on Tuesday.

But we couldn't see them.

Jerry was on outpost.

Why didn't he warn us?

Jerry's dead.

They must have got

Logan when they got Jerry.

Nobody got Logan.

He went over the hill.

-l heard the Sergeant.

-Look out!

Ronnie didn't seem to be

that kind of a chap.

lf Ronnie had the slugs

in his legs l've got in mine

he couldn't have run so fast.

Shut up, you fools!

That's his sister.

You always show up

where you can help.

They let me leave Batoche

is morning.

-What are they saying about Ronnie?

-They're all out of their heads.

Do any of you know where Ronnie is?

-They don't know, April.

-Keep that stretcher working, Sheriff.

-Doctor, the inspector's real bad.

-Alright.

Get this man ready.

l'll be back.

-Some brandy here.

-Sergeant, bring that brandy.

-He's lost a lot of blood, no?

-Yes.

-Jim...

-l'm glad you're safe

-but l wish you were anywhere else.

-l tried to get here in time.

l could have saved all this...

l'd give that tourniquet

another twist.

Where's Ronnie?

-ls he... is he...?

-No.

l'm sorry. l have to go

to the lnspector now.

But...

Don't fight. You'll be alright.

l told you to take care

of the men.

-Yes, but...

-Nevermind me. Get to the others.

Yes, sir.

ls there an assault?

-Not yet, sir.

-Man the bastions.

l have, sir.

Did you get proof

that Logan deserted?

Yes, sir.

When this is over,

make it your job to get him.

Bring him to justice.

Justice...

l'm about to get mind.

-Take command, Sergeant.

-Very good, sir.

Some fool at Headquarters,

wants to change

the uniform to green.

Stand up for the Redcoats.

lt's a good color.

-Any sign of a rush?

-Just steady sniping.

-Tod...

-Keep your head down lad

-if you don't want to lose it.

-Can you reach the river?

There's a very good chance.

Get the bateau and canoe

and moor them 100 yards below.

We'll try to get through tonight.

That l will.

-Take his place.

-Right.

Look! Look What l see!

-Don't shoot.

-He is police scout.

He's mine!

Nobody shoot.

Where is the knob from the bonnet?

Blood of the devil!

Bonjour,

Duroc, you old porcupine.

-Foosh to you.

-You son of a pumpkin?

That's a pawky trick.

You snooling clootie!
