I care about Havana,
Mr. Armstrong,

to my friends.
You know, I can make it
so big in this area,
that can distribute
their own cigars. Thank you, Brother Holden.
Thank you very much.
But ... how many votes
would you say you control?
Well, I think my people
will vote for anyone ...
that gives them benefits
materials in this emancipation.
Well, I can take care of it.
Here there are very practical benefits,
can distribute
where we will have votes.
There is nothing practical about
confederate money, Mr. Holden.
Even the peasants
They know it's not good.
Tell them that
I said good
And I am the general who commands

At your service, sir.
How was the withdrawal
of taxes?
Very good, sir.
Troop A brought two thousand.
Half, in common money.
The troop collected thousand

- Forget common money.
- Yes sir.
Do you know what to do with them?
- Your personal account.
- Yes.

You were in the North. Who's there?
- Captain Hays, sir.
- Just a minute.
"What is it, Hays?"
"A new recruit, sir.
Bring him.
General, this Bull Horrell.
Well, Horrell, we chose
carefully our recruits.
What's your story?
Here are the rules of Mounted Police.
Read to do
the oath.
What's it?
Can not read?
No, sir.
But I can count!
You serve.
Raise your right hand.
Solemnly swear

- Yes sir. That's it. Take your

Yes sir.
We need men like this ...
to collect taxes
of rebels.
It gets harder
with each passing day.
Everybody says
who have no money.
- What do we do?
"Take the horses and the cattle."
The reconstruction will not
last forever, Hays,
and if we do not

In between!
What's it?
Troop B is coming back,
sir, more trouble.
An ambush
in the Terry plantation.
- The second this week! - Yes sir. Any orders?
No orders, Lieutenant.
Take care of your men.
We need to do something
About that.
"On time, Captain.
- But that's the armed rebellion!
Of course, and I was
waiting for this.
Now I will be forced
to take extreme measures.

This is an outrage! You can not deprive us

"You'll pay, too."
- You're going to collect taxes.
For the troops to take our

Yes, $ 500 per day

I do not want it around here.

BENEDICT HOLDEN,
GENERAL HELP
More than $ 400
of taxes for one year.
Let's have a conversation
with a man named Holden.
Yes, Captain Ashley,
I agree with you.
It's a shame that taxes
have to be so tall.
But schools must be maintained,
roads must be built ...
and life and property should be protected, no?
When you put yourself like this ...
No, thank you.
I think every good citizen
must give its share.
And there seem to be so few
good citizens!
Are struggling
against law and order ...
how they fought against
the army of the Union!
It does not look like people.
I knew.
Is not being
A little rough, General?
See that.

Bigger than I thought.

Of course, I grew up with

So, you can help

Dick?

- As a friend and neighbor ...
- I do not think he would hear.
I fought against his side.
You can not convert it
for the Union,
would be to wait too long,
but you can persuade him to come
talk to me, no?
Maybe it's the way
to save his life.
I can not ask the soldiers
not to fight back, understand?
I'll see what I can do.
Are you going to talk to him soon?
I'll see Terry
on the way home.
Thank you.
Good morning, gentlemen.

MS. Virginia,
the Yankees are coming!
- Go hide!
- Why?
They know I'm here,
or they would not come.
- You're not sure.
- Holden has spies for now.
Ginny, I can not hide
every time the Yankees come.
Dick, you're all I have left.
I can not lose you too!
Please, for me.
Stop it, boy! So does
Your work, Snowflake?
How many times have I said ...
what cups should be
taken to dry at the time?
Snowflake, you?
more annoying than the Yankees!
Yes ma'am.
I am very happy
to see you again, Mr. John!
Thank you, Snowflake.
It was worth waiting 4 years
to see you again, Virginia.
Please...
I thought you would be different,
now that times have changed.
You have not changed.
I had to choose the side
which I thought was right.
It's no use starting over. Do not remember the
Veils, Virginia?
What did we think of each other?
What were we planning?
We can not restart,
now that the war is over?
Ended?
- Snowflake!
- Yes?
"Where is Mr. Dick?"
- I do not know, sir.
I need to see you as soon as possible.
What do you want with Mr. Dick?
I heard he had problems
with the authorities.
- What do you want with him?
- Anything.
But General Holden
do you want to speak to him...
and if Dick comes with me,
like a friend...
- Friend?
- That's what I said. While fighting against us,
I could at least respect him.
But come here
to betray my brother ...
Snowflake,
show the exit to the boy.
Yes ma'am.
Sir!
- Sir!
"What is it, Snowflake?"
I would not speak
the general here.
Ms. Virginia
and Mr. Dick ...
they do not want to know
of that murderer.
You've gone crazy!
Went listening
the peasants' conversation.
No, sir,
and there is no conversation.
He killed a lot of people.
by back.
What are you going to do now?
I do not know. "Why did you arrest them?"
- They were armed.
- No crime in Texas!
- We demand a fair trial.
Silence!
General's orders
do not bring prisoners ...
without giving them
a chance to escape.
But, Captain,
Why let them escape?
You will learn!
You know you have no chance.
against a court martial.
Would you like to escape?
"Are you serious?"
- Of course yes.
These prisons
it is mere formality.
Start running
like a madman.
Let's give you a chance. Prepare ... aim ...
Very well, rebel.
You're next.
- They're going to kill the boy!
- No, no, no.
Prepare...
Do not be in a hurry, Yankees.
I'm not going to run.
To point...
Ambush!
We are surrounded!
"Let's go down and help him."
- Hold on.
There is a way
better to help them.
- New recruits, sir.
"Oh, have them come in."
It did not take long
for us to decide, general.
Why, then, will you come in?
Yes sir.
The welcome we had
in the Terry's house ...
convinced us that it is our duty.
Yes, we went to talk and ...
we almost got shot!
Now you understand what
Is it Mounted Police?
Yes...
We understand.
Join Us, General,
and we will prove that we understand.
Very well,
we take the oath.
- Thank you, General.
- It's good to have them with us.
"What is it, Captain Hays?"
Another ambush, sir.
I had to retreat.
"The enemy surrounded the mission.
- How many?
Two tens
of good snipers.
It was quite a fight!
Captain Ashley and Mr. Calicutt ...
they went in to
the Mounted Police.
Both have a valuable
military experience.
Without doubt,
in a common army.
Do you think it will help
against these ambushes?
Maybe not.
Me and John do not know
nothing about retreating.
Really?
Tell me what you would do if you were
in the trap I was.
Well, we've won this much already.
of mounted soldiers.
- I think we can repeat it.
- What?
Did you say
"mounted soldiers"?
Is not it funny? clear that I meant "rebels".
All right, come on.
Ah, just a minute, Captain Hays.
Here is a list of taxes
to be charged tomorrow.
Check the names
with Captain Ashley.
He knows everyone here ...
and can help deal
with these rebels.
Yes sir.
We'll see the list at night.
We should not have
problems in Rio Blanco.
Belongs to an old lady
Spanish, peaceful as a saint.
We will not need
of many men.
"What about Bradley?"
- It will be easy, too. Bradley was killed
on Lookout Mountain.
His wife is
taking care of everything by herself.
Thank you, Ashley.
You were very useful.
It will be easy to collect.
Glad to help, Captain.
- Good night.
- Good night.
What's the situation?
The sentry is
All night, John.
Must leave
and warn the ranchers.
Sure, and you're leaving.
I'll keep the sentry busy.
while you jump the wall.
High!
Who's coming?
It's just me, the old man.
Jed Calicutt, from Missouri! I was just walking and ...
Hey, do you speak Spanish?
I can not read
the label of that bottle.
Is written
"water" something.
AGUARDENTE
It looks like brandy.
You smell brandy!
- Cognac.
- Thank you.
Hey, what are you doing there?
Trying to read
the label of that bottle.
Let's go inside,
maybe we can read better.
My friend,
I do not speak Spanish.
- But I think it's brandy.
- Really?
- Cognac?
- I still do not know.
No, cough medicine.
Damn me
I'm not coughing! You have the flu,
It's better to take more.
It was brandy
all the time,
and you did not know,
You idiot jerk!
You're hot!
You go to your room.
DEAR MR. YANKEE:
I LEFT FOR THE LORD
THE OLD BLACK MUFFIN

Someone warned him.
Maybe they

Horrell, bring them out.
They disappeared, did not stay
