00:01:59 [Man] Got a foot and a minute stable, Ben. Looks like a storm coming up.
00:02:03 [Man] Ah. What's the good word from Atlanta?
00:02:11 [Man] The market for cotton doesn't look so good. We've been planting too much, Uncle Albert.
00:02:16 [Man] Cotton's king. The whole South's built on it. And the world's knocking down our doors for more.
00:02:23 [Man] Now, when I was a boy...
00:02:26 [Man] Cathy inside?
00:02:28 [Man] Your lovely wife's in the grave, Papa.
00:02:31 [Man] Now, Brax, when I was a boy, I remember the whole...
00:02:36 [Man] Oh, Ned?
00:02:40 [Man] Yes, sir.
00:02:42 [Man] Ned, did I ever tell you about the time I cornered the cotton market in Atlanta?
00:02:47 [Man] Yes, sir. You did, Mr. Albert. Lots of times.
00:02:50 [Man] I did, eh?
00:02:52 [Man] Well, I...
00:02:54 [Wind]
00:02:56 [Birds chirping]
00:03:00 [Cathy] I didn't expect you back until tomorrow.
00:03:02 [Ned] There was a storm coming up. I didn't want to get caught in it.
00:03:05 [Cathy] It's been hot like this all week. I don't think it'll storm.
00:03:09 [Ned] Cathy, Atlanta's a powder keg. They're calling up the militia.
00:03:15 [Cathy] Ever since I was a child, I've been hearing that sort of talk. It'll blow over.
00:03:20 [Ned] And they're calling all West Point men to active duty.
00:03:23 [Cathy] Well, I saved your uniform. I'll go to Atlanta with you and watch you march in the parade.
00:03:27 [Ned] I don't think you understand, Cathy. This is more than just a parade.
00:03:30 [Ned] I've been given a Colonel's commission.
00:03:33 [Cathy] A West Point graduate, no near Colonel? I insist you refuse their offer until they make you a General.
00:03:39 [Cathy] You didn't forget the yarn for the new purse, did you?
00:03:42 [Ned] Yes, I did. But I brought you a scarf.
00:03:46 [Cathy] Oh, Brax, it's lovely.
00:03:50 [Ned] I ran into a couple of old friends.
00:03:52 [Cathy] Really? Who?
00:03:53 [Ned] Will Denning and...
00:03:54 [Cathy] Oh, that Yankee boy from Boston. He hasn't been here since our wedding.
00:03:58 [Cathy] I hope you invited him to spend some time with us.
00:04:00 [Ned] I did. They're riding up for dinner tonight.
00:04:02 [Cathy] They? Who's your other friend?
00:04:05 [Ned] I've been trying to tell you. It's Clay.
00:04:09 [Ned] I knew he'd come back someday.
00:04:13 [Cathy] What does he want?
00:04:15 [Ned] To see you, I suppose.
00:04:17 [Cathy] You shouldn't have invited him here.
00:04:19 [Ned] Will and Clay and I were roommates at West Point. I couldn't refuse.
00:04:24 [Cathy] I won't see him.
00:04:26 [Ned] Oh, you can't be that cruel, Cathy. After all, he once loved you.
00:04:31 And you've never completely forgotten him.
00:04:33 [Cathy] The past is dead. Why bring it up again?
00:04:36 [Ned] It's dead. You've nothing to fear.
00:04:39 [Cathy] It is dead.
00:04:42 [wind howling]
00:04:48 [thunder rumbling]
00:04:58 [thunder rumbling]
00:05:05 [Cathy] That's my bed.
00:05:07 [wind howling]
00:05:13 [Ned] Isn't it a warm evening for a fire?
00:05:16 [Cathy] I felt it too in the house.
00:05:19 [Ned] Well, I've never seen that dress before. It's charming.
00:05:24 [Cathy] I've had it a long time.
00:05:27 [Ned] You are nervous, aren't you?
00:05:30 Don't be.
00:05:36 I know how you and Clay felt about each other.
00:05:39 But that was four years ago. He's changed.
00:05:42 The Clay you knew is gone, darling.
00:05:45 [footsteps]
00:05:51 [Clay] Will. Hello, Greg. How are you?
00:05:53 [Will] Clay. Greg, glad to see you.
00:05:55 [Clay] I'm glad to see you too, Cathy.
00:06:00 Hello, Cathy.
00:06:02 Well, happy to see you, Will. Good to see you, Clay.
00:06:07 Hello, Cathy.
00:06:11 You're even more beautiful than I remembered.
00:06:14 Isn't she, Clay?
00:06:20 Well, you fellows certainly look prosperous.
00:06:22 What have you been doing to the world?
00:06:24 We're buying ships out of New Orleans.
00:06:26 We take cotton to Liverpool and wool back to Boston.
00:06:29 Thank you, Ned.
00:06:30 How many ships do you have?
00:06:32 Four, three masters.
00:06:33 But we're looking for the fifth to take care of the new cargo.
00:06:36 Did you hear that, Cathy?
00:06:38 That's wonderful, Clay.
00:06:39 When you left here four years ago, you had nothing but your father's debts.
00:06:43 The world is a rich prize, but you've got to go out and grab your share.
00:06:47 It just doesn't come to you sitting at home.
00:06:49 What brings you to Atlanta, Clay?
00:06:52 I've finished business.
00:06:54 Do you intend to stay long in these parts?
00:06:56 As long as I live.
00:06:59 I've paid my father's debts and bought back his land.
00:07:03 So we'll be neighbors again.
00:07:09 I know this is a little late, but I don't think I've congratulated you on your wedding.
00:07:14 I've often thought of both of you.
00:07:16 I brought Cathy a present.
00:07:19 May I?
00:07:21 Of course.
00:07:22 These pearls are from the pirates' market in New Orleans, Bayou.
00:07:27 They once belonged to a Balinese princess.
00:07:31 You know, it's a...
00:07:34 Thank you, Ned.
00:07:37 Cathy, did I ever tell you about the time these two fought a duel?
00:07:41 We were pleads up at Poughkeepsie on a three-day leave.
00:07:44 Will and Clay were courting the barmaid, and she was quite a devil.
00:07:48 Last night there, she decided to date both of them.
00:07:51 Well, they decided on a duel, winner take all.
00:07:54 I was to be their second.
00:07:56 I've often wondered what would have happened if I hadn't loaded those pistols with blanks.
00:08:02 I aimed at a tree and Clay shot at a cloud.
00:08:07 Say, maybe you two can give me some advice.
00:08:10 I'm experimenting on a new type of cotton seed for export.
00:08:13 Will's the expert on cotton seed.
00:08:16 Cotton seed?
00:08:17 Oh, I don't know very much about cotton seed.
00:08:19 Come on, Will.
00:08:20 I've got some samples in my study.
00:08:22 Go back.
00:08:23 Will doesn't want to talk about business now.
00:08:25 It'll only take a minute, darling.
00:08:26 Come on, Will.
00:08:28 That's where the real profit lies, Will, in the export trade.
00:08:31 Now, you take this new fiber...
00:08:33 Are you happy, Cathy?
00:08:42 Why shouldn't I be?
00:08:45 I'm happy.
00:08:47 I'm happy.
00:08:49 I'm happy.
00:08:51 I didn't come to Atlanta on business.
00:08:53 I came to see you.
00:08:55 I'm Brax's wife.
00:08:57 Nothing can change that.
00:08:58 How can you stand here and not remember?
00:09:00 It took you four years to remember.
00:09:03 You've prospered.
00:09:05 You couldn't have if I'd been with you.
00:09:08 I might have gotten all those things and more if you had gone with me.
00:09:13 You have four ships.
00:09:14 You can afford to buy priceless booms for no memory.
00:09:17 What more do you want?
00:09:19 I carried cotton to Liverpool and wool to Boston.
00:09:22 On my back is a common seaman.
00:09:24 Will picked me up in a Boston tavern.
00:09:30 We don't have any ships.
00:09:31 Our business in New Orleans was just waiting for another boat.
00:09:34 I didn't care where.
00:09:35 I never paid my father's debts.
00:09:37 And buying back the old plantation was just another lie.
00:09:40 Only these are true.
00:09:42 They once did belong to a Balinese princess.
00:09:45 But I didn't get them from a pirate's market.
00:09:49 They belonged to my mother.
00:09:51 I always wanted you to have them.
00:09:54 What have I done to you, Greg?
00:09:58 What have we done to each other?
00:10:00 Brax!
00:10:07 Cat!
00:10:08 Where are you?
00:10:10 Brax!
00:10:11 Cat!
00:10:12 Are you sad?
00:10:13 Are you sad?
00:10:16 We're at war.
00:10:18 Fort Sumter's been fired on.
00:10:21 What did you hear?
00:10:22 We got the news at the inn.
00:10:24 It's at 4 o'clock this morning.
00:10:25 We've been at war with the North.
00:10:28 Sorry to break up the evening.
00:10:29 I better take the next train to Boston.
00:10:31 No, Will.
00:10:32 You're our guest.
00:10:33 You can't leave us here.
00:10:34 Will's right, Cathy.
00:10:35 It wouldn't be safe for him to stay in Georgia any longer.
00:10:37 I'll ride with you to the station.
00:10:40 And do me a favor.
00:10:41 Don't get yourself killed in this war.
00:10:43 I'll try not to.
00:10:44 You do the same.
00:10:45 There's still a lot of ships we haven't sailed.
00:10:49 Goodbye, Brax.
00:10:52 Bye, Cathy.
00:10:54 Take care of yourself.
00:10:55 Clay, you'll stay here until our regiments are called up.
00:10:58 No thanks, Brax.
00:11:01 Bye, Cathy.
00:11:02 I'll report directly to Richmond.
00:11:05 [music playing]

00:11:54 [explosion]
00:12:01 [explosion]
00:12:06 You're under approval, my colleague.
00:12:13 Claiborne's a fine officer, but--
00:12:15 Speak up.
00:12:16 What have you against him?
00:12:17 Well, I-- I would recommend someone with less--
00:12:20 less courage.
00:12:22 That's a strange recommendation.
00:12:24 You want me to select a coward for the job?
00:12:26 Claiborne is reckless beyond all risk.
00:12:28 He exposes himself to enemy fire on every occasion.
00:12:32 How he's come through three years of this war
00:12:34 and still be alive.
00:12:35 The man seems to be seeking death.
00:12:37 A good soldier dies only once.
00:12:39 And death is someone he knows.
00:12:43 Major Claiborne is here, sir.
00:12:45 Send him in.
00:12:46 [doorbell rings]
00:12:49 You know, Lieutenant Colonel, this is Gerald and Allison.
00:12:56 Take a look at this map, Major.
00:12:58 I have a job for you.
00:13:00 A difficult job.
00:13:02 Maybe it's impossible.
00:13:06 Sherman's whole army poured out of Chattanooga three weeks ago.
00:13:10 They're moving straight along this single railroad
00:13:13 and heading for Atlanta.
00:13:15 Six weeks, Atlanta will be doomed.
00:13:17 Our only chance is to draw him deep into Georgia,
00:13:20 cut off his supply lines, and destroy his armies bit by bit.
00:13:24 The bulk of his supplies are pouring through this same railroad.
00:13:28 And as fast as we destroy it, his men rebuild it.
00:13:32 What we've got to do is find a weak link in this railroad
00:13:36 so that we can keep destroying it faster than Sherman's men can repair it.
00:13:41 And this is the spot.
00:13:45 I understand you're familiar with this region, Major.
00:13:48 Yes, sir.
00:13:49 I used to live near there.
00:13:51 Good.
00:13:52 Now take a look at this.
00:13:53 You'll see the Devil's Mountain completely dominates the railroad
00:13:56 where it passes through Snake Gap.
00:13:59 That's the one weak link in Sherman's supply line.
00:14:02 I want you to take 20 pick men and four cannons.
00:14:06 Put them on Devil's Mountain.
00:14:08 Blast the railroad and continue to blast it until we can counterattack.
00:14:13 General, Devil's Mountain is a sheer cliff.
00:14:16 I might be able to get 20 men up there, but four cannons, that's another question.
00:14:20 So I believe.
00:14:21 But we have a scout who says that there's an inside route
00:14:24 through the cave to the top that will take this manhole to our fillory.
00:14:28 General, if I could get a cannon on top of Devil's Mountain,
00:14:33 I could fight there till doomsday.
00:14:36 You have to, Major.
00:14:39 The wagons are loaded and waiting for you.
00:14:42 You will have four 12-pound Brook guns, the best cannon we've got.
00:14:46 Pick your men yourself.
00:14:48 Now, here's the route that we've prepared for you.
00:14:51 This territory is within Union lines.
00:14:54 You'll pick up our scout Biggers at Captain Fong.
00:14:57 He's waiting there for you.
00:14:58 He'll take you through the cave to the top.
00:15:01 Is everything clear, Major?
00:15:03 Yes, sir.
00:15:04 And stay clear of Monrovia.
00:15:06 We don't know how fast Sherman's cavalry scouts are moving.
00:15:11 Is there anyone at Monrovia now, sir?
00:15:14 Our latest report showed that it's abandoned.
00:15:17 I would suggest that you ask for volunteers
00:15:20 and tell your boys what they're up against.
00:15:23 Once you wreck the railway and disclose your position,
00:15:26 Sherman's men will do everything in their power to blast you off.
00:15:29 I want you to hang on.
00:15:31 You may have to stay there.
00:15:34 So will a lot of Sherman's men, sir.
00:15:36 Goodbye, Major.
00:15:38 Goodbye, sir.
00:15:40 God bless you, Major.
00:15:41 Thank you, sir.
00:15:43 [music playing]
00:15:46 At ease, men.
00:16:04 You don't have to look so brave.
00:16:09 I'm afraid you'll all have a chance at being a hero.

00:17:00 [music playing]
00:17:04 [music playing]
00:17:32 I don't see any sign of life down there.
00:17:35 That's Catlett's farm, all right.
00:17:37 Biggers wouldn't show itself.
00:17:39 He's inside, waiting for us.
00:17:41 [music playing]
00:17:44 Looks like the Yankees got to Biggers first.
00:17:57 Should we go on, Major?
00:17:58 No, Bernie.
00:17:59 We're going back to General Johnston.
00:18:01 And I'll let you tell him we saw a dead man and got scared.
00:18:04 It was just too discouraging.
00:18:06 I guess we're going on, Major.
00:18:08 [music playing]
00:18:11 [shouting]
00:18:24 [music playing]
00:18:28 [shouting]
00:18:30 [music playing]
00:18:33 Men, we've got to slip through their lines.
00:18:45 Grease the axles, tie down everything that can move.
00:18:48 Try not to make a sound.
00:18:50 Jump to it.
00:18:51 The moon's getting brighter by the minute.
00:18:53 [music playing]
00:18:55 All right, hook 'em up.
00:18:57 [music playing]

00:19:49 [music playing]
00:19:52 [music playing]
00:20:20 That's Devil's Mountain.
00:20:22 [music playing]
00:20:25 Even a goat couldn't climb up those walls.
00:20:29 We're not going to climb the walls.
00:20:31 We're going up from the inside through the caverns.
00:20:34 I've been in these limestone caverns in Kentucky.
00:20:36 If a fellow don't know his way, he sure can get lost permanently.
00:20:41 I told you I was up there once.
00:20:43 Well, I hope your memory serves you right, Major.
00:20:45 [music playing]
00:20:49 Smoke down the hall.
00:20:50 Must be a Union scouting party.
00:20:52 [music playing]
00:20:55 What do you see, Major?
00:21:02 Monrovia.
00:21:04 Monrovia?
00:21:05 What's that?
00:21:06 Just a big, empty house.
00:21:07 There's a small scouting party there.
00:21:08 I can make out only two fires.
00:21:10 It's a good thing we come up the back way.
00:21:12 We'd have run smack into 'em.
00:21:14 Off the wagons.
00:21:15 We'll pitch camp here.
00:21:16 Wait for the cover of night and move into the mountains.
00:21:18 [music playing]
00:21:21 [music playing]
00:21:49 Not a limber here, Max.
00:21:51 Not a limber.
00:21:52 Freddy, go down to the house and find out how big that scouting party is.
00:22:03 Yes, sir.
00:22:04 Jerry, break out a rope and ladder.
00:22:06 This man with the guns, bring him in here.
00:22:14 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:16 He'll need them.
00:22:17 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:20 He'll need them.
00:22:21 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:24 He'll need them.
00:22:25 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:28 He'll need them.
00:22:29 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:32 He'll need them.
00:22:33 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:36 He'll need them.
00:22:37 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:40 He'll need them.
00:22:41 Jerry, take the horses back to General Johnson's camp.
00:22:44 He'll need them.
00:22:45 Major says.
00:22:47 Let's get started, Mike.
00:23:07 It's a long way to the top.
00:23:10 I'm not going to keep any secrets from you, Mike.
00:23:12 I don't know the way.
00:23:13 We'll have to find out the best way.
00:23:15 All right, leave it.
00:23:21 Hold tight, Mike.
00:23:23 I'm not going to keep any secrets from you, Mike.
00:23:25 I don't know the way.
00:23:26 We'll have to find out the best way.
00:23:28 All right, leave it.
00:23:34 Hold tight, Mike.
00:23:35 [panting]
00:23:57 That was mighty close, Major.
00:23:59 I told you, Mike, I didn't know the way.
00:24:01 I was just trusting the luck.
00:24:02 This place is a death trap.
00:24:03 Let's get out of here.
00:24:04 We've got to get those guns on top.
00:24:06 Committing suicide ain't what I'm doing.
00:24:08 I'll tell you, Major, I've been in these caverns before in Kentucky.
00:24:11 They're full of blind passages.
00:24:12 They lead nowhere if you don't know the way.
00:24:14 We can't stop now.
00:24:17 We can't go on without a ladder.
00:24:19 Yes, you're right, Mike.
00:24:23 Come on.
00:24:24 [shouting]
00:24:29 All the way now, boys.
00:24:30 Ho!
00:24:31 [shouting]
00:24:34 Give me that fire.
00:24:35 [shouting]
00:24:40 Hang on to it.
00:24:41 [shouting]
00:24:45 [shouting]
00:24:48 [shouting]
00:24:51 [shouting]
00:24:54 [shouting]
00:24:55 [shouting]
00:24:56 [shouting]
00:24:57 Easy now.
00:24:58 [shouting]
00:24:59 Got it?
00:25:00 [shouting]
00:25:03 [shouting]
00:25:05 [shouting]
00:25:07 [shouting]
00:25:09 [shouting]
00:25:10 [shouting]
00:25:11 [shouting]
00:25:12 [shouting]
00:25:13 [shouting]
00:25:14 [shouting]
00:25:15 [shouting]
00:25:16 [shouting]
00:25:17 Ready.
00:25:18 We're split up into two man teams.
00:25:20 Each team take a different path to mark its way with chalk.
00:25:23 Be sure to tie your rope securely, check all in your lines,
00:25:26 and think of a step at a time.
00:25:28 There's no telling when the ground will suddenly
00:25:30 disappear from beneath your feet.
00:25:32 Mac and I will check the possibilities of the scavenger
00:25:34 outside.
00:25:35 [shouting]
00:25:37 [shouting]
00:25:39 [shouting]
00:25:41 [shouting]
00:25:42 [shouting]
00:25:43 [shouting]
00:25:44 [shouting]
00:25:45 [shouting]
00:25:46 [shouting]
00:25:47 [shouting]
00:25:48 [shouting]
00:25:49 [shouting]
00:25:50 [shouting]
00:25:51 [shouting]
00:25:52 [shouting]
00:25:53 How's it around the other side?
00:25:55 Worse.
00:25:56 [music playing]
00:25:58 Just a small squad down at the house, Major.
00:26:07 Not more than a dozen men.
00:26:09 You check snake-jelly?
00:26:10 Yep.
00:26:11 Not more than 30.
00:26:12 No artillery, just a heap of railroad equipment.
00:26:15 How close are they to repairing the tracks?
00:26:17 Well, I couldn't rightly say, sir.
00:26:20 We've got to get those guns up there tonight.
00:26:23 Uh, any luck?
00:26:25 Nah, it's too bad our people all cleared out for Atlanta.
00:26:28 Nowhere we can get any help.
00:26:30 Say, there's an old man still living down at the house.
00:26:33 I saw him picking up firewood in the backyard.
00:26:36 What'd he look like?
00:26:38 Couldn't see much in the moonlight, except in he walked with a limb.
00:26:43 Mac, you and Purdy keep the boys moving.
00:26:45 I'm going down to the house.
00:26:46 I'll join you within the hour.
00:26:48 And if you don't?
00:26:50 You're second in command.
00:26:51 [music playing]
00:27:13 Hey, Bert, come and get us.
00:27:14 The coffee's ready.
00:27:15 [music playing]
00:27:43 They have them going somewhere, Grandpa?
00:27:46 Has the man got a breath of air?
00:27:49 You want air?
00:27:50 [splash]
00:27:53 There's some air.
00:27:54 [laughs]
00:28:00 What are you doing?
00:28:01 Keep your voice down, Clay.
00:28:03 They're all over the house.
00:28:04 Why didn't you go to Atlanta?
00:28:05 What are you doing here?
00:28:06 I couldn't leave Kathy.
00:28:08 Kathy?
00:28:09 She's in the next room.
00:28:12 Wait, wait.
00:28:14 Tearing up bed sheets to make bandages.
00:28:17 Sherman will be in Atlanta before you
00:28:19 have a chance to use them.
00:28:21 You've taken the run of the house, Sergeant.
00:28:23 Permit me the privacy of my sewing room.
00:28:25 You know Sherman gave orders to burn down every house
00:28:28 from here to Atlanta?
00:28:29 What's stopping you?
00:28:30 Your husband.
00:28:32 Sooner or later, he's going to get lonesome.
00:28:35 He'll drop in to see you.
00:28:38 We're going to be here to greet him.
00:28:42 You'll never get your hands on him.
00:28:44 Oh, Colonel Braxton's a fox, all right.
00:28:46 But even a fox gets lonesome.
00:28:49 Oh, we'll get him.
00:28:50 All we have to do is sit and wait him out.
00:28:55 Want this door closed?
00:28:57 When a gentleman leaves the room,
00:28:58 he usually closes the door.
00:29:01 Yes, ma'am.
00:29:02 Kathy?
00:29:07 Yes, Uncle Albert?
00:29:09 Will you come in here, please?
00:29:11 Where's the lady?
00:29:31 She's gone to bed.
00:29:35 All I wanted was Sherman, that's all.
00:29:38 She's gone to bed.
00:29:40 Do you want me to wake her up?
00:29:42 Gone to bed?
00:29:43 I never left the hallway.
00:29:45 No one went upstairs.
00:29:46 What's the matter, Grandpa?
00:29:55 I told you, she's gone to bed.
00:30:02 See that this is sewed by morning.
00:30:05 You'd better wait here until they're asleep.
00:30:24 Why didn't you ever write?
00:30:26 Why didn't you answer my letters?
00:30:28 I did.
00:30:29 I answered every one.
00:30:31 I just never mailed them.
00:30:33 But why, Greg?
00:30:34 Yours were kind and consoling.
00:30:37 Mine were bitter.
00:30:38 Is that what you came here to tell me?
00:30:40 I never thought I'd see you again.
00:30:43 I didn't care what would happen to me.
00:30:45 It's funny.
00:30:47 Men die all around, and all I do is get more medals.
00:30:51 Oh, you mustn't die, Greg.
00:30:53 Why?
00:30:54 So we can be neighbors again?
00:30:56 The last time we had dinner together.
00:31:00 If the wall hadn't broken up, I'd have gone away with you to New Orleans.
00:31:05 We'd have taken a ship together and gone to San Francisco.
00:31:08 There's a new world waking in the West.
00:31:10 We could have started a new life there.
00:31:12 Oh, we still can, Clay.
00:31:15 It's too late, Kathy.
00:31:17 Maybe it's too late.
00:31:19 The Bible says, "Do everything as it is easy, and time do every purpose unto heaven."
00:31:28 Clay, I've waited so long for you.
00:31:31 This must be our time.
00:31:34 You left out a phrase.
00:31:36 There's a time to be born, there's a time to die.
00:31:39 Don't talk about dying.
00:31:41 It's all around us.
00:31:43 You couldn't have gone all the way through the war just to come here and die.
00:31:48 Well, we'll soon have a chance to find out.
00:31:57 I think we can go now.
00:32:15 What happened to Jennings?
00:32:19 Where's Jerry?
00:32:20 Jerry and Copper Jennings were a team.
00:32:22 They're both broke.
00:32:23 Jerry's still up there somewhere.
00:32:25 If he's still there, why aren't you looking for him?
00:32:27 What can we do?
00:32:28 Jennings don't even know where he lost you.
00:32:30 Jerry is dead, sir.
00:32:32 I lost me all the rules, though.
00:32:34 We got lost trying to find me.
00:32:36 We'll find him.
00:32:37 First, we've got to get these cannons on top.
00:32:39 Is there a passage wide enough to take these?
00:32:42 It isn't going to be easy.
00:32:44 Menaces, Mrs. Summers.
00:32:45 Every fourth man's taken menace.
00:32:47 Just follow the light, you can't get lost.
00:32:49 Every man's carry on the way he can.
00:32:50 It's better to make an extra trip to save your life.
00:32:53 I'll take the ladder.
00:32:54 [men shouting]
00:32:58 [men shouting]
00:33:02 [men shouting]
00:33:05 Watch out for the [inaudible]
00:33:30 [men shouting]
00:33:33 [men shouting]
00:33:37 [men shouting]
00:33:40 [men shouting]
00:33:44 [men shouting]
00:33:48 [men shouting]
00:33:52 [men shouting]
00:33:55 [men shouting]
00:33:59 [men shouting]
00:34:02 [men shouting]
00:34:06 [men shouting]
00:34:33 [men shouting]
00:34:36 Matt's men rode the adown there.
00:35:00 [music playing]
00:35:03 Those fires are from the rail workers' camp.
00:35:05 I remember.
00:35:06 It's snake gap.
00:35:07 Yes, you can see it clearly by morning.
00:35:09 The railroad track runs straight through.
00:35:11 How much longer do you think it'll
00:35:12 take them to repair the tracks?
00:35:14 At the rate they're going, I'd say at least three or four
00:35:16 more days.
00:35:17 [music playing]
00:35:21 [chatter]
00:35:24 Well, I guess we got everything, Major.
00:35:32 We still haven't found Jerry.
00:35:34 We lost Anderson and the cannon.
00:35:35 Corporal Jennings is out of action.
00:35:37 That leaves us 16 good men and three cannons.
00:35:39 That'll do.
00:35:40 It'll have to do.
00:35:41 Have the men get some rest.
00:35:42 Then we'll organize a searching party for Jerry.
00:35:44 Yes, sir.
00:35:48 Well, Kathy, without you, this mission
00:35:50 would have failed before it started.
00:35:52 After you destroy the railroad, where will you go?
00:35:54 This is where we stay.
00:35:56 But you can't stay.
00:35:58 Sherman will send half his army to blast you off.
00:36:00 That's why we have to stay.
00:36:02 Take the pressure off of General Johnston.
00:36:04 But that's suicide.
00:36:06 You can help us further.
00:36:08 How?
00:36:09 I've got to know the exact time those trains are
00:36:11 coming through.
00:36:13 I'll try and find out.
00:36:14 Is there some way you could signal us?
00:36:17 My bedroom window faces the summit here.
00:36:20 I could signal you by day with a mirror
00:36:22 and by night with a candle.
00:36:24 I'll post a watch on your window.
00:36:27 You'd better go now, Kathy, before you're missed at the house.
00:36:30 Can you find your way down alone?
00:36:32 Sure.
00:36:34 Thanks.
00:36:35 Goodbye, Kathy.
00:36:37 Goodbye, Craig.
00:36:38 Goodbye, Craig.
00:36:39 Goodbye, Craig.
00:36:40 Major?
00:37:04 Major?
00:37:05 Jerry?
00:37:06 Jerry?
00:37:07 Can you hear me?
00:37:08 Jerry?
00:37:13 Listen to me.
00:37:15 I'll be calling you either on here or by John's phone
00:37:19 and by my phone's receiver.
00:37:22 Do you hear me?
00:37:23 Jerry?
00:37:24 Jerry?
00:37:32 Jerry?
00:37:33 Jerry?
00:37:39 Jerry?
00:37:46 Jerry?
00:37:52 Jerry?
00:37:57 Jerry?
00:37:58 Major?
00:37:59 Don't move!
00:38:03 Jerry, can you see my light?
00:38:18 I can see your light.
00:38:19 I can see it.
00:38:21 I can see your light.
00:38:23 I can see it.
00:38:24 I can see it.
00:38:53 The range is on snake gap, Major.
00:38:55 It's right on top of them.
00:38:57 About 1,500 yards there, Sinead.
00:39:00 The only spot we're outranged is from Strawberry Hill.
00:39:03 About 200 yards short.
00:39:04 Don't need to worry about Strawberry Hill.
00:39:07 Bertie, keep the chains on those guns.
00:39:09 We may need to move them about after the action starts.
00:39:11 Yes, sir.
00:39:12 How close are they to repair on the track?
00:39:22 Can't tell.
00:39:23 The main section gang's working behind the cut.
00:39:26 Recheck that range.
00:39:29 We got 100 guys to spare, Major.
00:39:32 Them trains will be like sitting ducks.
00:39:34 How's the leg this morning, Corporal?
00:39:46 Oh, I'll be up in a day or so, sir.
00:39:49 Say, those peelings, they make good soup.
00:39:52 How are you this morning, Jerry?
00:40:02 Just fine, sir.
00:40:04 Thanks to Miss Summers.
00:40:05 She sure is a fine woman.
00:40:09 She sure is.
00:40:10 Just keep your eye on that second floor window down there.
00:40:14 Oh, Major, Miss Summers told me to pay you something.
00:40:17 Let's see.
00:40:19 Oh, yeah.
00:40:20 She said that I should tell you that you should brush up
00:40:23 on your Spanish for California.
00:40:27 Thanks, Jerry.
00:40:46 Thanks for mending my shirt.
00:40:48 What is it, Sergeant?
00:40:53 Nothing.
00:40:54 I'm off duty this morning.
00:40:56 You've been following me about for days.
00:41:01 This is my kitchen, and it was my house.
00:41:09 Let me alone.
00:41:11 I'd like to look at it.
00:41:12 Just wanted to talk to you.
00:41:15 Talk to me?
00:41:17 What about?
00:41:18 Doesn't matter.
00:41:19 It's been such a long time since I talked to a woman.
00:41:22 I like the color of your hair, the way you walk.
00:41:25 I just like to look at you.
00:41:27 Everything about you reminds me of my wife.
00:41:30 I ain't seen her in over a year since I left Springfield.
00:41:33 You can drop the knife, ma'am.
00:41:37 I don't mean you no harm.
00:41:40 You came here as an enemy, Sergeant.
00:41:42 You and I have nothing to talk about.
00:41:44 I didn't have a hand in starting this ruckus.
00:41:47 I was farming.
00:41:48 First thing I knew, I was drafted.
00:41:50 When I left home, I figured it would be for three months.
00:41:52 That was three years ago.
00:41:53 Home?
00:41:54 Why don't you go home, all of you?
00:41:57 Why do you come here to ravage our land?
00:42:00 I'm only a sergeant, ma'am.
00:42:01 I just do what I'm told.
00:42:04 Now, this must have been a fine farm once.
00:42:06 Not too many in these hills.
00:42:08 What did you raise before the war started?
00:42:10 Cotton.
00:42:12 My grandfather planted the first cotton in Georgia.
00:42:15 It used to go as far as you could see through that window.
00:42:18 And we had sheep, too.
00:42:20 Merino sheep.
00:42:22 Thousands of them.
00:42:24 You men slaughtered the last pair we had.
00:42:27 We'll soon be out of here, and believe me,
00:42:29 we're just as anxious to go as you are to get rid of it.
00:42:32 You mean you've given up your plan to wait for Colonel Summers?
00:42:35 We got him in a pocket.
00:42:36 He'll never get out.
00:42:38 If you're not waiting for my husband, what's keeping you here?
00:42:41 We ain't got enough horses.
00:42:42 Some of the men will have to ride the train.
00:42:45 The way they're working on that track,
00:42:46 a train won't be through here for a week.
00:42:48 I've got good news for you, ma'am.
00:42:50 We'll be out of here this afternoon.
00:42:52 And on to Atlanta.
00:42:54 In another month, I'll be home with the wife and little ones.
00:42:59 How many children have you, Sergeant?
00:43:01 Two.
00:43:02 Both fours, five and seven.
00:43:05 You wouldn't have a picture of them.
00:43:07 Well, I sure have.
00:43:08 I put it away in my haversack.
00:43:10 Would you like to see them?
00:43:12 Yes, I would.
00:43:14 I'll be right back.
00:43:16 I'll be right back.
00:43:17 [door opens]

00:44:02 [music]
00:44:31 [music]
00:44:52 Dirty little spy.
00:44:53 Want to see my family pictures, huh?
00:44:56 [gunshot]
00:44:57 [music]
00:45:04 [gunshot]
00:45:07 Uncle Albert!
00:45:15 Look, Abby, look.
00:45:18 They got your signal.
00:45:24 [crying]
00:45:28 Please, please, please.
00:45:33 Stop the bleeding.
00:45:36 Stop.
00:45:39 Now, stop the bleeding.
00:45:42 Help me.
00:45:44 Help me.
00:46:09 I don't see any sign from the house.
00:46:11 She's right here, sir.
00:46:12 I saw her.
00:46:13 Shall I try placing her back?
00:46:14 Yeah.
00:46:15 It's too risky.
00:46:16 Give away our position.
00:46:18 Are you sure you saw the signal?
00:46:20 Positive, sir.
00:46:22 Then that's it.
00:46:24 Watch for the first sign of smoke approaching Snake Gap.
00:46:32 Max.
00:46:33 Max.
00:46:34 They must have finished laying their tracks last night.
00:46:35 The trains will be coming through any time now.
00:46:37 How do we stand?
00:46:38 Number one gun fully assembled, that's all.
00:46:40 Give Purdy a hand.
00:46:41 [music playing]

00:47:39 [screaming]
00:47:42 [music playing]
00:47:45 Thank you.
00:47:46 There's two of them coming.
00:47:53 Number one and number two guns will concentrate fire
00:47:55 on the engine of the first train.
00:47:57 Number three gun holds fire for the second train.
00:48:00 Set him in.
00:48:01 [music playing]
00:48:10 Men, we've got to hit them when they come through the gap.
00:48:14 Max, Purdy, reach after the rangers.
00:48:17 [music playing]
00:48:24 Here they come.
00:48:25 Here they come.
00:48:42 We've waited too long.
00:48:47 For God to lose.
00:48:50 What are we waiting for?
00:48:51 The second train.
00:48:52 We've got to get both of them.
00:48:54 Back to your post.
00:49:04 Number one gun ready.
00:49:05 Set.
00:49:06 On fire.
00:49:07 [explosion]
00:49:09 [music playing]
00:49:16 Rebels on the move.
00:49:18 Number two gun depressed one degree.
00:49:25 Set.
00:49:29 Set.
00:49:30 On fire.
00:49:31 [explosion]
00:49:40 Get that engine.
00:49:41 Get that engine.
00:49:42 [explosion]
00:49:47 On fire.
00:49:48 [explosion]
00:49:53 Get the engine in the second train.
00:49:56 [music playing]
00:50:04 Watch their loading.
00:50:05 Don't jam.
00:50:06 [explosion]
00:50:25 [music playing]
00:50:53 [explosion]
00:50:58 [music playing]
00:51:03 [explosion]
00:51:08 [explosion]
00:51:13 [explosion]
00:51:18 [music playing]
00:51:39 Men, that was a good day's work.
00:51:42 We've thrown a big monkey wrench into Sherman's campaign.
00:51:45 But they're going to bring up every piece of artillery within 100 miles
00:51:48 and throw it right back at us.
00:51:51 Delete Harding.
00:51:52 Try to get a good night's sleep.
00:51:55 It's going to be awfully noisy up here from now on.
00:51:59 Jenny, how long will the grub hold out?
00:52:02 That depends on how many mouths you have to feed.
00:52:05 Well, it looks like some of us are going to be getting double rations soon.
00:52:09 [laughter]
00:52:14 How they doing, Jerry?
00:52:16 Lots of activity down there, Major.
00:52:19 They're breaking ground for the main camp.
00:52:23 Jerry, you've still got a chance to get out of here tonight.
00:52:25 You'd better go.
00:52:27 I don't see any of the other men going.
00:52:29 You're a boy in a man's war.
00:52:32 Well, Major, maybe we'll be here long enough for me to grow a beard.
00:52:37 [knocking]
00:52:46 Come in.
00:52:52 We'll have to take your uncle's body, ma'am.
00:52:56 Take him where?
00:52:58 We'll bury him for you.
00:53:02 Tomorrow.
00:53:03 Sorry, ma'am.
00:53:04 I have orders to do it tonight.
00:53:06 Must you take him now?
00:53:08 I've got my orders, ma'am.
00:53:10 We lost 30 good men, including my captain, in that bombardment.
00:53:17 How is Sergeant Harper?
00:53:19 He died an hour ago.
00:53:22 We'll have to go, ma'am.
00:53:23 We have a lot of men to bury tonight.
00:53:29 Would you happen to have Sergeant Harper's home address?
00:53:32 What do you want it for?
00:53:34 I'd like to write a letter.
00:53:37 Yes, ma'am.
00:53:39 Thank you.
00:53:59 Detachment at Devil's Mountain, Major.
00:54:05 Devil's Mountain.
00:54:06 That's the tally.
00:54:20 What kind of guns were you able to bring up?
00:54:21 I only got nine pounders.
00:54:23 The heavy guns won't arrive until tomorrow.
00:54:24 Put whatever you have in action.
00:54:25 We've got to get them off that mountain.
00:54:31 Fire.
00:54:32 Keep firing.
00:54:52 Still too low.
00:54:55 Go for maximum elevation.
00:54:56 Try double-shotting them.
00:54:57 Yes, sir.
00:55:12 We might as well be throwing marbles at them.
00:55:14 That's the best these guns will do, Major.
00:55:15 They're too light for this job.
00:55:17 There's four more supply trains on their way up.
00:55:18 They've got to get through.
00:55:19 Then we'll have to wait for heavier guns.
00:55:21 We can't wait.
00:55:22 Every minute is precious.
00:55:23 Sherman can't move without those supplies.
00:55:26 There can't be too many men up there.
00:55:28 But how do we get them off?
00:55:30 We'll have to try direct assault.
00:55:32 Have the guns keep firing to cover us.
00:55:38 We'll make a run for it.
00:55:40 I'll take my men up the inside.
00:55:41 You keep the rest building the wall.
00:56:09 They're splitting up.
00:56:10 They're going into the cave.
00:56:11 They're going to try to come up on the inside.
00:56:13 They'll find their way, Major.
00:56:14 Let's discourage them anyway.
00:56:15 Send a couple of the best shots into the cave.
00:56:17 First, get to the rocks.
00:56:19 Ready?
00:56:20 Yeah.
00:56:21 Keep the men scattered out all around the summit.
00:56:49 Don't use it, Major.
00:56:50 It'll take the unit to find their way up there.
00:56:51 I've been through here before.
00:56:52 There's a path around here somewhere.
00:56:53 Hey, that looks familiar.
00:56:54 There's the crystal room.
00:56:55 Jump for it now.
00:56:56 Come on.
00:56:57 There's a gunfire here.
00:57:26 I see it.
00:57:27 There's a gunfire here.
00:57:28 It's been added.
00:57:29 Let's go.
00:57:48 I've been waiting for you, Major.
00:58:11 I've been waiting for you.
00:58:37 I've been waiting for you.
00:59:06 You're not going to find me.
00:59:07 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:08 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:09 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:10 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:11 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:12 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:13 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:14 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:15 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:16 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:17 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:18 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:19 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:20 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:21 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:22 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:23 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:24 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:25 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:26 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:27 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:28 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:29 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:30 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:31 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:32 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:33 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:34 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:35 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:36 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:37 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:38 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:39 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:40 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:41 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:42 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:43 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:44 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:45 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:46 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:47 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:48 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:49 I'm not going to find you.
00:59:50 I don't know why you volunteered for this mission.
00:59:52 You've been here before and you knew the territory.
00:59:55 How many medals did Shillen promise you
00:59:57 for taking Devil's Mountain?
00:59:59 30 of my men were killed in yesterday's bombardment.
01:00:02 None of them got any medals.
01:00:05 I didn't come here to fight with you, Kathy.
01:00:08 Have you heard anything of Clay?
01:00:11 I know he's alive.
01:00:14 Maybe I shouldn't be telling you this.
01:00:18 Clay and I almost missed this war.
01:00:21 We were on board shipping to the Far East
01:00:23 when Clay suddenly decided to get off.
01:00:26 That's when we came here.
01:00:28 He told me a story about having to see a lawyer in Atlanta
01:00:31 about his father's plantation.
01:00:35 It turned out all he wanted was to see you again.
01:00:39 I...
01:00:41 I thought you'd like to know.
01:00:44 Thanks for telling me, Bill.
01:00:50 I sure would like to see Clay again.
01:00:55 I wonder where he's fighting.
01:01:01 What am I going to do about you?
01:01:05 The best thing you can do for me is let me stay here in Nairobi.
01:01:09 Oh, you heard Colonel House.
01:01:11 I can't be responsible for your safety here.
01:01:14 You better go to Chattanooga.
01:01:16 Let me stay, Will. Please let me stay.
01:01:18 Oh, you're waiting for Brax, of course.
01:01:21 I have news for you.
01:01:23 He's free. He and his men cut their way out of the pocket we had them boxed in.
01:01:26 Thank goodness.
01:01:27 Thank the men up on Devil's Mountain.
01:01:30 Because of them, we had to pull every available man and gun over here.
01:01:34 Brax can't come here now. You may as well wait for him in Chattanooga.
01:01:38 Is that an order?
01:01:42 I'm just asking for your own sake.
01:01:46 Please let me stay, Will.
01:01:49 I could never refuse you anything.
01:01:52 Thanks, Will.
01:01:55 Oh, Kathy.
01:01:57 I'll have to place you under house arrest.
01:02:00 You won't be able to leave the ground.
01:02:03 According to the book, you're still the enemy.
01:02:14 This operation ought to blast them off the mountain in a half a day.
01:02:18 Here's where the enemy stands.
01:02:20 From the size of their shot, we know the only guns they've got are 12-pound brooks.
01:02:24 These guns got a limited range. They can't shoot much beyond Snake Gap.
01:02:28 Now, here's Snake Gap.
01:02:30 This is where they blew up our supply trains yesterday.
01:02:34 This is a danger area.
01:02:36 But their range is confined within this circle.
01:02:40 Now, the naval gun is coming down from Chattanooga.
01:02:43 We'll stop it right about here at this point.
01:02:47 That's a good...
01:02:49 That's a good 200 yards beyond anything they can reach from the summit.
01:02:53 We'll bombard from this point.
01:02:56 We got them sealed off at the mouth of the cave.
01:02:58 There's no way down this side of the Devil's Mountain.
01:03:00 We're going to keep pounding until there isn't a rifle shot left on that summit.
01:03:07 Captain Travis, 4th Cavalry.
01:03:09 The naval gun has passed Trasita.
01:03:11 It should arrive at 2 a.m.
01:03:13 Great. That's good speed, Captain.
01:03:15 Lieutenant, take Captain Travis to his quarters.
01:03:17 Yes, sir. Follow me, Captain.
01:03:19 We may as well set up position.
01:03:34 [Music]
01:03:58 Here she comes.
01:04:02 [Music]
01:04:30 Lieutenant, are you the gunner?
01:04:32 Secure your gun for action.
01:04:45 Lieutenant Flack from Mississippi Naval Command, sir.
01:04:47 You made excellent time, Lieutenant.
01:04:49 Will you fix the position for me, sir?
01:04:51 Your present position will do.
01:04:53 We're a good 200 yards beyond the farthest range of their gun.
01:04:56 Will you spot for me, sir?
01:04:58 I'll check the ranges first, Lieutenant.
01:05:01 I can get a better sight from that rock over there.
01:05:03 Bring the transit.
01:05:05 Stand by for immediate action.
01:05:06 Aye, sir.
01:05:08 [Music]
01:05:22 [Music]
01:05:48 [Music]
01:05:58 Oh, yes. It's the girl.
01:06:09 Clay.
01:06:10 Clay, you've got to get off of this mountain right now.
01:06:12 There isn't time.
01:06:13 Why?
01:06:14 I just saw the naval gun they brought up.
01:06:15 You haven't got a chance, Clay.
01:06:17 It's in the engine, we heard.
01:06:18 How is it mounted?
01:06:19 On a flat car.
01:06:20 Must be a Dalgren.
01:06:21 Yeah.
01:06:22 You can all make it if you leave now.
01:06:24 With a Dalgren, Major, they can lay back outside of our range
01:06:26 and knock off the top of this mountain a foot at a time.
01:06:29 We all knew something like this was bound to happen.
01:06:32 As long as we have a single gun here in Amanda Fire,
01:06:34 they can get a supply train through Snake Gap.
01:06:36 That's our job.
01:06:37 We're all with you there, Major.
01:06:39 Except in that naval gun, it's changed the situation.
01:06:42 One hour after it opens fire, we won't have a gunner or a man left.
01:06:46 That's a fact, Major.
01:06:47 Clay, don't sacrifice yourself and your men for nothing.
01:06:50 You've done what you could.
01:06:51 Now go.
01:06:52 Where'd you see the gun?
01:06:55 The other side of that rocky hill.
01:06:59 A good 200 yards outside of our range.
01:07:02 Even at extreme elevation.
01:07:04 Remember the engagement at Lookout Mountain?
01:07:06 We were outranged there, too, but we knocked out the guns.
01:07:09 Well, they could load with a double charge.
01:07:11 The guns won't take it.
01:07:12 The barrels would blow up right in our faces.
01:07:14 Reinforce the barrels.
01:07:16 All we got is rope.
01:07:17 It takes wire.
01:07:18 And awful strong wire, which we got none of.
01:07:22 Any fence wire down at Monrovia?
01:07:24 The fence wire was stripped a year ago.
01:07:27 We've got to knock out that gun.
01:07:30 You still have the piano at the house?
01:07:32 Yes.
01:07:33 Piano wire.
01:07:34 That's as strong as there is.
01:07:36 It might do the trick.
01:07:41 You wait here.
01:07:42 I'll be back as soon as I get the wire.
01:07:44 [door opens]
01:08:13 You're a good soldier, Kathy.
01:08:15 I'm going back with you.
01:08:16 You're going back into the house?
01:08:19 I'll never see you again.
01:08:20 You'll see me, Kathy.
01:08:22 I'm not ready to die, not yet.
01:08:25 Goodbye.
01:08:33 Major, take it back.
01:08:40 Major?
01:08:43 Reflection, four degrees east.
01:08:46 Range on target.
01:08:50 There's two men on that ledge.
01:08:52 They've got a tripod.
01:08:55 They're taking their side on us.
01:08:57 They're ready for loading.
01:08:59 Get into the cave, Jerry.
01:09:00 They'll be firing in a minute now.
01:09:05 That's an order.
01:09:07 Yes, sir.
01:09:13 Start loading.
01:09:14 Start loading.
01:09:15 Go!
01:09:22 Everyone not assigned to a post in the cave.
01:09:32 How much longer, Mac?
01:09:33 Just turn her off, Major.
01:09:35 Boys, keep on promotion.
01:09:37 Flash fire shields for the boys in blue.
01:09:40 Fire!
01:09:41 Fire!
01:09:51 Fire!
01:09:57 We're in position.
01:10:00 Fire!
01:10:01 Fire!
01:10:06 Start loading.
01:10:07 Double charge.
01:10:26 Six, five, four, three, two, one.
01:10:31 Get that engine started.
01:10:33 Pull it back.
01:10:34 Take it back.
01:10:35 Five, four, three, two, one.
01:10:40 Get that gun moving.
01:10:42 Take it back.
01:10:44 Take it back.
01:11:07 Six, five, four, three, two, one.
01:11:32 Get that engine started.
01:11:47 We're at the North Sherman's headquarters, sir.
01:12:08 The guns Sherman was sending will never get here.
01:12:11 They were ambushed at Peachtree River by some of his raiders.
01:12:14 Not a mortar got through.
01:12:16 It'll take a month to get mortars down in Chattanooga.
01:12:18 It might be quicker to bring another naval gun down from Charleston.
01:12:21 We could mount the guns we have on Strawberry Hill, blast them out rock by rock.
01:12:24 Strawberry Hill is right in their line of fire.
01:12:26 They could pick us off like flies.
01:12:29 Plenty of powder, but no guns big enough to do the job.
01:12:33 Just how much powder do we have?
01:12:36 There's a whole carload that we shipped up with a naval gun.
01:12:38 That hasn't been touched.
01:12:40 We're going to take that carload of powder.
01:12:42 We're going to mine every cavern and passage under that summit.
01:12:46 The whole top of that mountain is a hollow shell.
01:12:48 We'll blow the lid off.
01:12:51 By dawn tomorrow, there won't be a single river left on Devil's Mountain.
01:12:55 Do it, Major.
01:12:56 I'll get on it right away, Major.
01:12:57 All right.
01:12:58 I'll settle it once and for all, sir.
01:13:00 I think that's it.
01:13:12 We're going to make them pay for every man we've lost, for every minute we've lost.
01:13:16 That's the only way.
01:13:28 It's a barbed wire rope!
01:13:32 Who stripped this piano?
01:13:34 I don't know, sir.
01:13:35 The wire was in there yesterday.
01:13:36 I remembered it faintly.
01:13:37 There's been no one in the house, sir, except myself and --
01:13:49 Come on!
01:13:56 That's wire.
01:13:57 The piano wire.
01:13:59 You took it to Devil's Mountain, didn't you?
01:14:03 You told them about the naval gun.
01:14:04 You've been working with them all along, haven't you?
01:14:06 What if I have?
01:14:09 Please let me stay, Will.
01:14:12 I should have shipped you off to the prison stockade in Chattanooga the moment I arrived.
01:14:16 Maybe I have lied to you, Will.
01:14:18 Maybe I have betrayed your friendship.
01:14:21 You forgot.
01:14:23 We're on different sides.
01:14:25 I won't forget again.
01:14:27 By dawn tomorrow, there won't be a single man left alive on top of that mountain.
01:14:31 Corporal!
01:14:35 Don't let this woman out of your sight.
01:14:38 Ship her off to Chattanooga tomorrow.
01:14:40 As a civilian?
01:14:41 No!
01:14:43 A prisoner of war.
01:14:55 How long will it take to mine the passage?
01:14:57 We'll be ready by dawn, sir.
01:14:58 Good.
01:14:59 There's one hazard with one, Major.
01:15:00 What's that?
01:15:01 Well, the way this mountain slopes, there's a chance when the top is walled off,
01:15:04 it'll slide right down into a snake gap.
01:15:06 That'll block the gap for good.
01:15:08 How long will it take to build a new track around the gap?
01:15:10 A good part of a week, sir.
01:15:11 How long will it take to bring down guns from Chattanooga?
01:15:13 About a month.
01:15:14 Then we've got no choice.
01:15:15 We blow it.
01:15:17 How much butter are we going to need?
01:15:18 Every bit we have.
01:15:19 All right.
01:15:20 Get your men busy, Captain.

01:17:37 I'm sorry, Miss McKilligan, but I got my orders, ma'am.
01:17:40 Let me do them, Mr. Eisenhower.
01:17:42 Take me to him.
01:17:44 Please.
01:17:45 [music playing]
01:18:07 The mines are all laid, Major.
01:18:09 You sure there's enough of them?
01:18:10 We've got enough pilot sharks set up there
01:18:12 to erupt a volcano.
01:18:13 It's five o'clock.
01:18:15 How soon will all the fuselage be down?
01:18:17 Not more than 30 minutes.
01:18:18 And another 30 minutes to check it.
01:18:19 We're right on schedule.
01:18:20 Will!
01:18:22 Corporal, what's the meaning of this?
01:18:24 I told you to keep her at the house.
01:18:26 You can't burn those men in cold blood with us.
01:18:28 What do you think they've done to our men?
01:18:30 Take her back to the house and keep her there.
01:18:32 Will!
01:18:33 Clayton.
01:18:34 Clayton.
01:18:35 What?
01:18:36 You've got to give him a chance to surrender.
01:18:40 It's too late for surrender.
01:18:41 If you were up there, Clay, you wouldn't say that.
01:18:44 Besides, all you want to do is get them off.
01:18:46 What will you gain by-- by killing them?
01:18:48 If they would surrender, Major, we could get Sherman supplies
01:18:50 rolling through State Gap by tomorrow.
01:18:52 You know they're going to surrender.
01:18:53 At least give me a chance to put it to them.
01:18:55 It's certainly worth a try, Major.
01:18:57 Tell your men to let me through.
01:19:00 Don't interrupt the work.
01:19:01 Keep lining up the fuselage.
01:19:02 We set off that charge as per schedule, 6 o'clock.
01:19:06 You've got less than an hour.
01:19:08 I've plenty of time.
01:19:12 Cathy.
01:19:15 I want you to get Clay a message for me.
01:19:17 Tell him that-- tell him there's still
01:19:21 a lot of ships we haven't sailed.
01:19:32 I've been studying State Gap, Major.
01:19:34 If they blow us off of here, this whole mountaintop
01:19:37 is going to slide right down into the gap.
01:19:39 They'll never get a train through there anymore.
01:19:42 Well, once we're out of the way, they'll build a new track around.
01:19:46 Not in less than a week, they won't.
01:19:49 See, we've got eight dead, three wounded.
01:19:52 That's seven of us left.
01:19:54 The wounded ain't hurt bad.
01:19:56 There's still 10 of us.
01:20:00 It all boils down to 10 lives for a week's delay.
01:20:04 How does this strike you, Mike?
01:20:06 Just think.
01:20:08 10 men holding up Sherman's whole army for a week.
01:20:13 Sounds like a right fair bargain to me.
01:20:17 Listen.
01:20:20 I don't care a thing.
01:20:22 They've stopped digging.
01:20:24 They must be laying the fuse line.
01:20:26 Let's go tell them, Major.
01:20:27 Someone's coming.
01:20:29 Sounds dead ahead.
01:20:31 Well, here's one Yankee that's going to keep us company.
01:20:44 Got it.
01:20:57 Fuse lines are all set, Major.
01:20:59 All the men are coming for us?
01:21:00 All of them.
01:21:02 We'll wait till 6.
01:21:04 Now is the time.
01:21:06 We'd better start off in the woods.
01:21:14 I wish Corporal Jennings was here now.
01:21:17 He sure could play that guitar.
01:21:19 Gee, I wish I had an ear for music.
01:21:22 Mind if I play my mouth organ, Major?
01:21:25 Go ahead, Burns.
01:21:32 Sure wish Corporal Jennings was here.
01:21:54 Miss Cassie's been here.
01:21:59 Max, the medicine kit.
01:22:11 We'll stop this.
01:22:13 No, Denny.
01:22:14 He says you can surrender.
01:22:19 You only have till 6.
01:22:21 Hurry, Craig.
01:22:23 Craig, go.
01:22:25 He came in.
01:22:29 Hurry.
01:22:30 You haven't much time.
01:22:33 It's nearly 6 now, Major.
01:22:36 Take the men down, Mac.
01:22:37 What about you?
01:22:39 I'll follow.
01:22:40 You'll never make it carrying her.
01:22:44 Sergeant McCarter, take the men down.
01:23:13 Six o'clock, Major.
01:23:26 Give them five minutes more.
01:23:40 Cassie.
01:23:47 Cassie.
01:23:56 Cassie.
01:23:58 I'll never leave you again.
01:24:05 It's 6.15, Major.
01:24:09 It's 6.15.
01:24:38 It's 6.15.
01:24:40 It's 6.15.
01:24:43 It's 6.15.
