VANCE:
What's your regiment?
:09:03
Fifth Louisiana Rifles,
or what's left of them.
:09:08
Where's Randall's outfit?
:09:10
The cavalry disbanded
two or three days ago.
:09:13
Scattered so as
not to give up the horses.
:09:16
You fellows should do likewise
before the Yanks confiscate them.
:09:21
Wait a minute. What are you
talking about? What happened?
:09:25
What's happened?
You mean you ain't heard?
:09:28
General Lee surrendered
to Grant five days ago.
:09:31
Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia.
:09:34
- Surrendered? You're crazy.
- No, that's a fact, lieutenant.
:09:40
All of us gave up our guns
in Shreveport last Monday.
:09:43
So war's over.
We can all go home.
:09:46
MAN:
If you've got one left to go to.
:10:01
Now that the brigade's scattered,
how we gonna find the general?
:10:06
- That's just it. We can't.
- We gotta try, Vance.
:10:09
- Why?
- Why?
:10:12
To give him
the money, of course.
:10:14
I don't know.
The surrender changes everything.
:10:17
We gotta talk it over.
:10:29
We can't take this money.
It don't rightly belong to us.
:10:33
Then tell us who it
does rightly belong to.
:10:36
It belongs to the Confederate
government, I suppose.
:10:39
There ain't no more Confederate
government. It's finished.
:10:44
That's the truth.
:10:45
They'll hang Jeff Davis and
throw all the others in prison.
:10:49
Well, then it must still
be Federal property.
:10:53
You mean we ought
to give it back to them?
:10:56
A minnie ball in my leg's
got to be paid for.
:10:59
Your brother nearly died
of gangrene in a Yankee prison.
