Lieutenant Colonel Henry Lazell / Colonel William Shafter

Your commanding officer passed this on to me. Why didn't you mention a threatening note when I visited your room this morning? I didn't find the note until after you left, sir. Or perhaps you wrote the note yourself after we examined your room this morning to cover your tracks. Wait a minute. You really think I did this to myself? Why would I do that?

Please, sir. I really think you should be out finding the attackers. I have nothing more to tell you. Go back to class, cadet. We'll talk again soon.

It's time to go, old man. We have to take everyone north to the train station.

We are not going. I never did anything wrong. I followed the rules. I never left the reservation.

It ain't up to me. I'm just following orders. Where are you sending us? You're going to a new reservation in Florida. Florida? It's hundreds of miles east. Just think, you and your grandson will get to live near the ocean. No more dust, no more scorpions. You'll eat all the oranges you want. I reckon it'll be much better than this godforsaken place. I want to stay here.

Even if it means staying on this reservation, at least it's closer to my home. To the land where my mother was buried, and my wife too. I'm sorry, sir. I've been ordered to take everyone, whether they follow Geronimo or not. I don't have a choice. You always have a choice.

Sir, stop wasting time, soldier. Get them moving. Yes, sir.

If you don't come along, I'll be forced to make you. Don't make this any harder than it needs to be.

What's the issue here?

What's the issue here?

Not so fast. Just tell me what's the matter. Good afternoon, doctor. I'm a veteran of the 9th Cavalry. I served right here in Fort Robinson. It's my kidneys. Been having trouble for months now. There's blood in my urine. My feet are swollen. I'm tired all the time. I'm hoping you could take a look.

Sounds like kidney disease, all right. I'm afraid I can't help you. You best get yourself a train ticket to Washington, D.C. They'll treat you at the old soldier's home. Washington? That's more than 1,000 miles from here. I can't travel all the way to Washington, especially not like this. Even if I had the money for a ticket, the trip would kill me. I understand it's inconvenient for you.

Inconvenient? I gave years of my life to the army, to this very fort. Same as everyone else in this room. All I'm asking for is some medicine. And I'm telling you, if you want medicine, you can go get it in Washington, D.C. There's nothing I can do for you here. Can't or won't.

I have other patients to see. Pfft.

I need you to explain what happened last night, cadet. Don't leave anything out. It's just like I said before, sir. Three men beat me and slashed at my hands and face. They tied me to the bed. I passed out from the pain. That's all I can remember. And who were these attackers? I have no idea, sir. Well, what did they look like?

$1,440.

$1,440.

Why was it not in the list of checks you gave me two days ago? I forgot it, sir. $1,440 is a very large check for a man to forget, Lieutenant. It was an honest mistake, sir. I admit that bookkeeping is not my strong suit, but I promise you that everything has been accounted for now. I've mailed all the commissary checks. They're on their way to the bank as we speak.

I fear I may be doing you an injustice, Lieutenant. If that proves to be true, I will sincerely regret it. But I must say I find your explanation lacking. I believe you have stolen the missing money.

Colonel, with all due respect, you are indeed doing me an injustice. I've served faithfully and with honor. I mailed the checks. I don't know how else to prove it. I don't enjoy this, Lieutenant, but your story just doesn't add up.

Sir, is this really necessary? I hope I'm wrong. I really do.

I already told you, sir. They wore masks. I couldn't see their faces. Why would anyone want to hurt you? What did you do? I don't know. Nothing.
