son of the sun god, planned it so.

All will come, all will die.

We are hundreds and we lie in wait.

Beyond the ridge to the north.

Beyond the ridge to the south,

where the rocks narrow.

The long knives will come

straight down the valley.

Where the valley narrows, all will die.

MIKE:
Watanka! Can you hear me?

You give your word to your warriors

to move,

we kill your son

and throw him down to you.

Don't listen, Father. Don't listen.

The sun god, our lord, will take

me to his heart. Give the order.

No!

I'm warning you, Chief, we kill him.

Don't listen, Father!

Give the order, give the order!

No!

General orders, number 89.

On June 23, 1873, this command engaged

a numerically superior hostile Indian tribe

and emerged victorious.

This victory was made possible

by the extraordinary heroism

and devotion to duty

of Sergeants Michael Merry, Charles Deal

and Lawrence Barrett of this command,

and a civilian by the name

of Jonah Williams, now Private,

(BRAYING)

Who will report to the 10th Cavalry.

These men, who through their daring

and valiant action

were able to warn this command

of an ambush

and thereby turn a possible annihilation

into a victory.

For their conspicuous gallantry,

undaunted courage and fortitude

they have this date been recommended

to the Secretary of War

to receive a certificate of merit.

- Hey!

- Oh, Larry, you don't understand this.

Let's show him what we really think

about his re-enlistment papers.

- You mean that?

- Yup.

- I don't know what to say.

- It's all right.

Look after yourself.

- Sergeant Boswell.

- Yes.

Arrest that man. He's a deserter.
