November 5.
:24:04
The Confederate prisoners are angry
and uneasy, waiting for tomorrow...
:24:07
the day the rebel captain
and his four companions are to hang.
:24:11
We are fearful of the consequences.
:24:16
All of us know the Major needs the Captain
and his men...
:24:19
but the Major is stubborn.
:24:21
I think he will hang them
if they don't volunteer.
:24:45
I would like to volunteer, sir.
Me and my six coloureds.
:24:48
I haven't asked for volunteers
from the command.
:24:50
- We're doing the asking, sir.
- Why?
:24:52
To fight, sir.
:24:54
We've been standing guard
and cleaning stables for nearly two years.
:24:59
Tomorrow morning you ask
the officer of the day to see me.
:25:03
You and your six coloureds.
:25:06
Thank you, sir.
:25:12
The rebel captain
Ben Tyreen's compliments, sir.
:25:15
He will see you now.
:25:20
He will?
:25:22
Yes, sir.
:25:24
And he further states that he will
volunteer himself and his men as needed...
:25:27
for double rations for all prisoners
plus Gen. Carlton's written guarantee...
:25:31
that all Southern soldiers
who serve with you, sir...
:25:34
will be automatically granted full pardon.
:25:36
Now, sir,
if I may be so bold as to suggest...
:25:56
Guard!
