[ Man Narrating ] TWO AMERICAN SCIENTISTS ARE LOST IN THE SWIRLING MAZE,,,
OF PAST AND FUTURE AGES,,,
DURING THE FIRST EXPERIMENTS ON AMERICA'S GREATEST AND MOST SECRET PROJECT‐‐
THE TIME TUNNEL,
TONY NEWMAN AND DOUG PHILLIPS NOW TUMBLE HELPLESSLY TOWARD A NEW, FANTASTIC ADVENTURE,,,
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE INFINITE CORRIDORS OF TIME,
[ Gunfire Continues ]
[ Groans ]
DOUG! LOOK OUT!
COME! THIS WAY! THIS WAY!
COME ON! HURRY IT UP!
OPEN THE GATE!
[ Horses Whinnying ]
CLOSE THE GATE!
YOU MEN, TAKE THE WEST WALL!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I HAVE A POWERFUL HEADACHE, TONY,
MY HEAD HIT A ROCK,
DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE?
NO,
THE SOLDIERS OUT THERE WERE MEXICAN, I'M SURE OF THAT,
HOLD YOUR FIRE!
THEY'RE RUNNIN'! WE'VE BEATEN 'EM OFF!
ARE YOU WOUNDED? [ Panting ]
NO,
THOSE WERE MEXICAN UNIFORMS, WEREN'T THEY?
YES, DO YOU HAVE A FIX ON THE YEAR?
1836, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONTH AND THE DAY,
ANN, GET ON THE COMPUTER,
I WANT A LIST OF EVERY MILITARY ACTION,,,
THE MEXICAN ARMY ENGAGED IN FOR THE YEAR 1836,
YES, SIR,
HAVE HIM PUT WITH THE REST OF THE WOUNDED,
YOU'D BETTER GET SOME REST,
I WILL SOON,
WELL, HE'LL DIE, MOST LIKELY,
ALL THE BRAVE ONES DIE FIRST,
CROCKETT WAS KILLED YESTERDAY,
MY WIFE HAD NEVER SEEN A WOUNDED MAN BEFORE SHE CAME HERE,
NOW SHE'S SEEN ENOUGH DEATH AND INJURY TO LAST HER A LIFETIME,
YOU'RE THE COURIERS FROM BRAZORIA?
UH, NO, WE WERE‐‐ NO, WE'RE NOT,
WHAT MADE THE MEXICANS BACK OFF?
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT QUITE READY TO TAKE US YET,
SO THEY SEND HALF A DOZEN SNIPERS AT A TIME TO PICK OUR MEN OFF THE WALL,
SEND THEIR CAVALRY TO HARASS US,
WHEN WE BRACE FOR THEIR BIG ASSAULT, THEY WITHDRAW,
ARE YOU IN COMMAND HERE, CAPTAIN?
YOU CAN TAKE YOUR PICK OF COMMANDERS, WE GOT LOTS OF 'EM,
CAPTAIN REYNERSON? SIR,
HOW MANY CASUALTIES?
ONE WOUNDED, BUT HE'S PRETTY BAD OFF,
YOU DIDN'T REPORT IT, NOT YET, COLONEL, IT JUST HAPPENED,
VERY WELL, BUT FROM NOW ON ALL CASUALTIES ARE TO BE REPORTED DIRECTLY TO ME,
NOT TO COLONEL BOWIE,
ARE YOU FROM SAN FELIPE? DO YOU HAVE ANY WORD FROM BRAZORIA?
ARE THE REINFORCEMENTS ON THE WAY?
I DON'T KNOW,
WE WERE OUTSIDE WHEN THE CAVALRY ATTACKED,
YOU'RE COLONEL WILLIAM BARRETT TRAVIS, AREN'T YOU?
I AM, SIR, AND WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE YOU HERE,
WE NEED ALL THE MEN WE CAN GET TO HOLD THE FORT,
YOU'LL SEE THAT THESE MEN ARE FED, CAPTAIN,
YES, SIR, CAPTAIN, WHAT'S TODAY'S DATE?
MARCH 6,
BOWIE, CROCKETT,
DAVY CROCKETT, THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT,
THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE COMMAND OF COLONEL WILLIAM B, TRAVIS,
BEFORE THIS DAY IS OUT, THERE'LL BE A FINAL ATTACK BY THE MEXICAN ARMY,,,
AND EVERY MAN IN THIS FORT WILL BE KILLED,
THERE WON'T BE ONE MAN LEFT ALIVE,
NO SURVIVORS,
WE'RE IN THE ALAMO,
[ Narrator ] THE TIME TUNNEL,
♪ [ Drums ]
LOOK AT THEM, THEY JUST KEEP COMING,
HOW MANY TROOPS DO THE MEXICANS HAVE? ANN?
SIX THOUSAND MEN, AGAINST HOW MANY IN THE ALAMO?
ABOUT 180, NOT VERY GOOD ODDS,
ACCORDING TO THE HISTORY COMPUTER, THAT'S THE ZAPADORES BATTALION,
ONCE THEY GET IN POSITION, SANTA ANNA WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE WITH THE GENERALS,
AND THEN THEY'LL DECIDE TO MAKE THE FINAL CHARGE,
ANN, HOW MUCH TIME DOES THAT GIVE US?
THE TIME THERE IS 8:05,
THE SLAUGHTER WILL TAKE PLACE AT 5:00, APPROXIMATELY,
THAT GIVES US NINE HOURS TO GET THEM OUT OF THERE,
GET ME A U, S, G, S, MAP OF THE AREA, YES, SIR,
IT WON'T WORK, TONY,
YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO TRY TO CHANGE HISTORY,
YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT SURE OF ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED HERE EXCEPT THE FINAL MASSACRE,
IF THERE'S ANY CHANCE WE CAN GET SOME OF THESE GUYS OUT, I SAY WE SHOULD TAKE IT,
BUT WHAT IF THE COLONEL WON'T LISTEN TO YOU?
WE CAN'T LOSE ANYTHING BY TRYING,
THEY SEEM QUIET ENOUGH FOR THE MOMENT, COLONEL BOWIE,
THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM, COLONEL,
GENERAL FILISOLA'S ARMY MOVED INTO BIVOUAC ABOUT AN HOUR AGO,
I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF DIEGO'S ARMY MOVES IN BEFORE TOO LONG,
I HAVE GIVEN MY WORD TO HOLD THIS FORT,
I DON'T MEAN TO BE DISRESPECTFUL, COLONEL,
BUT I SAY WE GOTTA TAKE A GOOD, CLOSE LOOK AT THIS SITUATION,
FOUR, FIVE THOUSAND MEN‐‐ THEY COULD SWARM OVER US LIKE BEES OVER A HIVE,
WE WILL BE REINFORCED, FROM WHERE?
SAN FELIPE, BRAZORIA, THE SETTLEMENTS OF EAST TEXAS,
IF THEY COULD GET THROUGH, HOW MANY DO YOU THINK THEY COULD BRING IN‐‐ 20, 30?
COLONEL, THAT'LL BE ALL OF THAT!
[ Sighs ] MY MEN TRUST YOU, COLONEL,
THEY'LL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY,
GOD HELP YOU IF YOU'RE WRONG, GOD HELP ALL OF US,
UH, LEAVE ME YOUR TELESCOPE,
MAY I SPEAK TO YOU, COLONEL? CERTAINLY,
WE'RE RUNNIN' OUT OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES,
THE LAUDANUM IS ALMOST GONE,
I'M SORRY, MA'AM, BUT YOU ALREADY HAVE ALL WE CAN SCRAPE UP,
MAYBE WE CAN GET A MAN THROUGH TO DR, ARMANDEZ IN BEXAR, IT'D TAKE A MIRACLE,
I DON'T HAVE ANY MEN THAT I'M WILLING TO RISK ON THE CHANCE OF A MIRACLE, I'M SORRY,
MAYBE THE COLONEL DIDN'T UNDERSTAND,
MOST OF THESE MEN ARE GONNA DIE IF WE DON'T GET THE MEDICINE TO TREAT 'EM,
BOWIE UNDERSTANDS, HE'S JUST GOT A LOT OF OTHER THINGS ON HIS MIND,
I'LL GET THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES,
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL DO IT, BUT I'LL FIND A WAY,
COLONEL,
YOU WILL BE SAFER IF YOU STAY BELOW THE WALL, MR,‐‐ NEWMAN,
ANTHONY NEWMAN, NOBODY'S GONNA BE SAFE HERE MUCH LONGER,
THIS IS THE SIXTH OF MARCH,
AND SOMETIME TODAY SANTA ANNA IS GONNA ATTACK IN FORCE,
EVERY MAN WHO REMAINS HERE WILL DIE,
AND WHERE DID YOU OBTAIN THIS GRISLY PIECE OF INTELLIGENCE, MR, NEWMAN?
IF YOU'RE COUNTING ON REINFORCEMENTS, YOU CAN FORGET IT, COLONEL,
THEY'LL NEVER REACH YOU IN TIME,
I CAN'T DECIDE WHETHER YOU ARE A MADMAN
OR A CALCULATED TROUBLEMAKER, MR, NEWMAN,
BUT IN ANY EVENT, YOU ARE A DANGER TO US,
ARE YOU HERE TO UNDERMINE THE MORALE OF MY MEN?
COLONEL, AT LEAST EVACUATE THE WOUNDED WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE,
SENTRY, I WANT THIS MAN LOCKED UP IN THE STOREROOM, SEE THAT HE TALKS TO NO ONE,
[ Groaning ]
[ Groans ]
PUT THEM BOTH IN THE STOREROOM!
[ Grunts, Panting ]
[ Groans ]
WHAT HAPPENED?
‐ YOU MUST HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER CLIP ON THE HEAD, ‐ MY VISION'S ALL BLURRED,
‐ I CAN'T HOLD MY HEAD UP, ‐ DON'T MOVE, I'LL TRY TO GET A DOCTOR,
WAIT,
LISTEN TO ME,
IF YOU CAN, GET OUT OF HERE,
WE CAN'T TAKE A CHANCE ON THE TIME TUNNEL PICKING US UP BEFORE THE FINAL ATTACK,
NEITHER ONE OF US IS GOING ANYWHERE AT THE MOMENT,
I TRIED THOSE BARS, THEY'RE ANCHORED SOLID,
JUST LIE STILL,
OPEN THE DOOR! WE NEED A DOCTOR!
[ Knocking ] OPEN UP! THERE'S A SICK MAN IN HERE!
ALL THAT'S LEFT STANDING OF THE OLD ALAMO COMPOUND IS THE CHAPEL,
WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT? A GENERAL PLAN OF THE ALAMO,
BUT IT'S JUST RECONSTRUCTED FROM EARLY DRAWINGS, RAY, CAN YOU MAKE THIS WORK?
NO, GENERAL, IT ISN'T SPECIFIC ENOUGH,
WE'LL HAVE TO SET UP OUR OWN MEASUREMENTS, HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE?
I DON'T KNOW, YOU'D BETTER MAKE IT FAST,
WE ONLY HAVE SEVEN AND A HALF HOURS LEFT,
OPEN THE DOOR! GO AHEAD, OPEN IT,
CAPTAIN, MY FRIEND IS HURT,
HE NEEDS A DOCTOR,
OUR DOCTOR WAS KILLED,
MY WIFE DOES WHAT SHE CAN,
HOW YOU FEELIN'?
DIZZY, BLURRED VISION,
CAN YOU HELP HIM? I'VE SEEN MEN HURT LIKE THIS BEFORE,
SOMETIMES THEY SURVIVE, AND SOMETIMES THEY LAPSE INTO A COMA AND DIE,
WHERE'S THE NEAREST DOCTOR?
THERE IS A DOCTOR BY THE NAME OF ARMANDEZ WHO LIVES IN SAN ANTONIO DE BEXAR,
HE'S MEXICAN, BUT HE'S FRIENDLY TO US,
THEN SEND SOMEONE FOR HIM, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU,
OUR MEDICAL SUPPLIES ARE EXHAUSTED,
A DOCTOR COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH FOR OUR WOUNDED,
AND TO YOUR FRIEND,
BUT TRAVIS WON'T ALLOW IT,
THE ODDS ARE 1,000‐TO‐1 THE MAN WOULD BE SHOT BEFORE HE GOT THROUGH THE MEXICAN LINES,
I'LL TAKE THOSE ODDS, CAPTAIN, SEND ME, PLEASE, LET ME GO,
I COULDN'T DO THAT DIRECTLY,
BUT,,,
IF I WERE,,,
TO BE TAKEN BY SURPRISE‐‐
I CAN'T HELP YOU, YOU'LL BE ON YOUR OWN, I'LL MANAGE,
CALL THE GUARD IN HERE,
GUARD, COME IN HERE,
I WANT THIS MAN TAKEN TO THE WOUNDED AREA,
DOUG, I'M GOING FOR A DOCTOR, I'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS I CAN,
[ Panting ] IF YOU GET OUT OF HERE, YOU JUST KEEP GOING,
THERE'S A RIFLE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, IN CASE YOU NEED IT,
I'LL BE BACK,
TELL DR, ARMANDEZ‐‐
JUST DESCRIBE THE SITUATION TO HIM, HE'LL KNOW WHAT TO BRING,
GOOD LUCK,
COLONEL BOWIE, I WANT A WORD WITH YOU,
I'M JUST ABOUT THROUGH HERE, COLONEL, NOW!
OFFICERS DON'T DO MANUAL LABOR IN THIS OUTFIT,
WELL, YOU SEE, I, UH‐‐
ALL RIGHT, COLONEL,
NOT A WORD, COLONEL, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT A HORSE AND A WAY OUT OF HERE, YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME BOTH,
I WILL GIVE YOU NEITHER, SIR, [ Hammer Cocks ]
YOU MEN STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
NOW YOU'RE GONNA SHOW ME WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR HORSES, COLONEL,
IF YOU THINK I WOULD NOT SACRIFICE MY LIFE,,,
TO KEEP YOU FROM BETRAYING OUR DEFENSES TO THE ENEMY, YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN,
SEIZE HIM! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
[ Groans ]
COLONEL, I‐‐
I NEVER FIGURED I'D,,,
BE LAID LOW FROM,,, FALLIN' FROM A PLATFORM,
IT'S MY INNARDS,
[ Groans ] THEY'RE ON FIRE,
NOW, JUST‐‐ JUST SAVE YOUR STRENGTH,
WE'LL GET YOU FIXED UP AND BACK IN ACTION BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,
NO! NO, I'M SORRY‐‐ I'M SORRY, TRAVIS,
NOT THIS TIME,
[ Exhales ]
NOW, EASY WITH HIM,
DISTRIBUTE THAT POWDER!
GET TO THE STOREROOM AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
LET HIM GO, IF YOU NEED A HOSTAGE, ONE WILL DO AS WELL AS TWO,
ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF HERE,
THOSE‐‐
THOSE THINGS YOU'VE TOLD ME,,,
A‐ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK'S GONNA HAPPEN‐‐
ALL THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN,
MY WIFE BELIEVES IN DREAMS,
AND MEDIUMS WHO CAN LOOK INTO THE FUTURE,
BUT SHE'S A SENSITIVE WOMAN,
A LITTLE,,,
OVERIMAGINATIVE, PERHAPS,
BUT I'M A SOLDIER,
IF I MUST, I WILL DIE FOR MY COUNTRY,
BUT MY WIFE‐‐
IF IT'S ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT YOU KNOW THE FUTURE, PLEASE‐‐
LISTEN,
I DO HAVE THE POWER TO SEE THE FUTURE
IN A WAY YOU'VE NEVER DREAMED OF, CAPTAIN,
I CAN SEE TOMORROW,
I CAN SEE A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW, AND EVEN MORE,
AND EVERYONE IN THE FORT,
WHEN THE ATTACK COMES, WILL DIE?
THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT? NO,
BUT WE'VE DELAYED THE ENEMY,
I MEAN WE'VE GIVEN THE COLONIES A CHANCE TO ARM, TO RAISE AN ARMY,
NOT EVEN THAT,
OH, IT WAS A GRAND AND GLORIOUS GESTURE,
AND THE WAR CRY OF THE TEXAN, AFTER TODAY, WILL BE, "REMEMBER THE ALAMO!"
REYNERSON?
YOU MUSTN'T LET THEM TAKE YOU,
ARE YOU IN THERE?
TELL THEM I'M HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE,
HE'S GOT A GUN ON ME, COLONEL, YOU, SIR! WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
PHILLIPS!
GO AROUND TO THE WINDOW,,,
AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET A SHOT AT HIM,
I WILL GIVE YOU THREE MINUTES TO SURRENDER YOURSELF PEACEFULLY, PHILLIPS,
WITH CAPTAIN REYNERSON UNHARMED,
I'M SORRY, COLONEL, I CAN'T DO THAT,
YOU TRY THAT AGAIN, AND I'LL KILL HIM!
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MEASUREMENTS NOW TO TRY A RETRIEVE?
NO, EVERYTHING IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE, BUT THE PROPORTIONS ARE WRONG,
HERE'S THE STOREROOM‐‐ 36 FEET TO THE NORTH WALL, AND NOT 42,
OVER HERE IS THE HOSPITAL AREA‐‐ 61 FEET AWAY INSTEAD OF 50,
ANN, DO YOU HAVE A SIGNAL FOR TONY?
STILL STRONG, DOCTOR, ALL RIGHT, BRING IT IN,
YOU'RE GONNA TRY A DOUBLE RETRIEVE?
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA GET THEM BACK, I FOUND TONY!
NO NOISE, AMIGO,
THAT'S GOOD, VERY GOOD,
WHAT ABOUT YOU, AMIGO? YOU WANNA BUY TOBACCO, HUH?
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH MY POCKETS, YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY,
THAT'S RIGHT, [ Chuckles ]
NO MONEY AT ALL,
BUT MAYBE YOU KNOW WHERE TO GET SOME MONEY, EH?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU ARE A TEXAN, NO? SOMEWHERE AN ESPOSA? WIFE?
MAYBE A SMALL RANCH AND HORSES, HUH?
MAYBE SHE WILL BE WILLING TO PAY FOR YOU,
YOU MEAN YOU'LL GIVE ME MY FREEDOM IN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY?
THAT'S RIGHT,
OR I COULD TAKE YOU TO THE OFFICE OF CAPTAIN RODRIGUEZ,
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE PRISONERS TO HIM THERE,
HE HAS MANY WAYS TO GAIN INFORMATION,
MANY, MALO,
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU THERE,
AN ARMY SCOUT LIKE ME, MY PAY IS NOTHING,
AND THE WORK IS DANGEROUS,
SO‐‐
TAKE ME TO DR, ARMANDEZ ON THE PLAZA,
YOU TAKE ME THERE, AND YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT,
[ Laughs ] WHAT DO YOU THINK, AMIGO? THAT I DON'T KNOW THINGS, HUH?
HE'S ON OUR SIDE, AND BESIDES, HE'S VERY POOR,
MAYBE YOU HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE, HUH? NO, I HAVE NO ONE ELSE,
TOO BAD, AMIGO,
I WAS COUNTING ON YOU, BUT MAYBE THE NEXT ONE I CATCH WILL BE RICH,
NOW WE GO TO CAPTAIN RODRIGUEZ,
THE BATTLE HERE WILL BE OVER IN AN HOUR AND A HALF,
SANTA ANNA WILL REST HIS TROOPS AND THEN MOVE ON TO THE EAST,
INCREDIBLE,
THEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?
I DON'T KNOW, IT'S BEYOND MY POWER TO JUDGE,
THERE HAS BEEN A FEELING AMONG THE VOLUNTEERS THAT WE'RE MAKING OUR STAND AT THE WRONG PLACE,
COULD BOWIE BE PERSUADED TO INTERCEDE WITH COLONEL TRAVIS?
MAYBE,
ONE THING'S FOR SURE‐‐ TRAVIS'LL BUST IN HERE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
CORN SUPPLY FOR THE ENTIRE FORT'S IN THIS ROOM,
THEN IT'S TIME FOR US TO MAKE A BARGAIN,
THIS IS PHILLIPS! I WANT TO TALK TO COLONEL TRAVIS!
THIS IS THE COLONEL, I WANT TO MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU, COLONEL,
WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE?
IF I'D BEEN THE ENEMY, I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED YOUR SUPPLIES,,,
AND DONE MORE HARM THAN A WHOLE TROOP OF CAVALRY,
‐ GET TO THE POINT, ‐ I WANT TO TALK TO COLONEL BOWIE,
IF YOU'LL GIVE ME YOUR WORD AS A GENTLEMAN THAT YOU'LL TAKE ME TO SEE HIM,
I'LL COME OUT AND SURRENDER MY WEAPON,
GRANTED, I GIVE YOU MY WORD ON IT,
CAN HE BE TRUSTED?
HE GAVE HIS WORD, HE'LL KEEP IT,
YOU'D BETTER COME WITH ME TO SEE BOWIE, I'LL BE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY,
THAT'S MY PART OF THE BARGAIN,
I'LL KEEP MINE, COME ALONG,
I PROMISED YOU THE CHANCE TO SEE COLONEL BOWIE,
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT HIM,
WE'VE GIVEN HIM LAUDANUM AGAINST THE PAIN,
‐ WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? ‐ HE WAS INJURED WHEN YOUR FRIEND ESCAPED,
YOU'VE HAD YOUR LOOK, MR, PHILLIPS, THE BARGAIN HAS BEEN SATISFIED,
SEIZE HIM!
ALL RIGHT, TIE HIM TO THAT TREE,
WHERE WE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON HIM,
‐ HOW WAS BOWIE INJURED? ‐ HE FELL FROM THE PLATFORM,
PHILLIPS SAID HE WOULD FALL,
HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, HE KNOWS THE FUTURE,
THE FORT IS DOOMED,
IS THE FIX ON TONY STRONG ENOUGH TO TRANSFER HIM?
NO, WE HAVE NO PLAN OF THE TOWN THAT INCLUDES THOSE BUILDINGS,
I SEE, IT'S 10 MINUTES PAST 3:00, THEIR TIME,
WE'LL MAKE A TRY FOR DOUG EXACTLY 4:00 THEIR TIME,
WHAT ABOUT TONY?
IF EITHER ONE OF THEM ARE AROUND WHEN THE MEXICAN ARMY ATTACKS,
THEIR CHANCES OF SURVIVAL ARE VERY SMALL,
I'D RATHER SAVE ONE OF THEM THAN SEE BOTH OF THEM DIE,
UP THE STAIRS NOW,
AND NO TROUBLE,
[ Knock On Door ]
COME IN,
JUST A LITTLE MORE, MI CAPITÁN,
[ Groaning ] THAT'S ENOUGH, DR, ARMANDEZ,
THAT'S ENOUGH, VERY WELL, MI CAPITÁN,
WHERE'D YOU GET THIS ONE, GARCIA?
FROM THE ALAMO, I WAS ON PATROL,
THE DUST HERE IS TERRIBLE, IT GIVES ME A SORE THROAT AND A SHORT TEMPER,
A VERY SHORT TEMPER, I'VE NO PATIENCE AT ALL,
MINE IS THE LAST DETACHMENT IN THIS MISERABLE TOWN,
BUT WE'LL BE LEAVING SHORTLY,
YOU WANT A GLASS OF WINE?
I'M NOT THIRSTY,
COURTESY OF THE AMERICAN MERCHANTS WHO LEFT THIS TOWN DESERTED,,,
WHEN THEY RAN AWAY FROM OUR ARMIES,
I DON'T BLAME YOU, THIS IS TERRIBLE WINE,
ARE YOU A COURIER? NO,
THEN YOU MUST BE A DESERTER,
AND YOUR CAUSE IS A LOST ONE,
THEREFORE, YOU WILL NOT MIND TELLING ME WHERE TRAVIS HAS LOCATED THE CANNONS,
HOW HE INTENDS TO DEFEND THE ALAMO,
YOU WILL TELL ME, YOU CAN BE SURE OF THAT,
THE ONLY QUESTION IS,,,
HOW MUCH SUFFERING YOU INTEND TO ENDURE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO COOPERATE,
‐ I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL, CAPTAIN, ‐ WHAT KIND OF A DEAL?
THERE ARE WOUNDED MEN IN THE ALAMO,
MEN WHO ARE SUFFERING, MEN WHO WILL DIE WITHOUT MEDICAL ATTENTION,
MY FRIEND IS ONE OF THEM,
YOU SEND DR, ARMANDEZ TO HELP THEM, AND I'LL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU WANT,
[ Laughing ]
HOW AMUSING!
HE WOULD HAVE YOU APPEASE THEIR SUFFERING,,,
WHILE HE GIVES US THE INFORMATION HOW TO KILL THEM MORE QUICKLY,
REPORT TO THE RIVER CAMP, DOCTOR,
THEY'LL NEED YOU THERE, SÍ, MI CAPITÁN,
NOW, LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS,
IF YOU'LL COOPERATE, YOU'LL BE ALLOWED TO LIVE,
‐ CAN I LOOK AT THE MAP? ‐ GO AHEAD,
THE MAIN BATTERY‐‐ TWO NINE‐POUNDERS‐‐
THEY'RE AT THE SOUTH WALL,
UH‐‐ [ Chuckles ] NO, WAIT A MINUTE,
COLONEL TRAVIS HAD‐‐ HAD ONE MOVED, THAT WON'T DO,
THAT WON'T DO AT ALL!
[ Grunting ]
[ Speaking Spanish ]
GET SOME MEN FROM THE CANTINA AND TRACK HIM DOWN!
[ Horse Whinnies ]
[ Hammer Clicking ]
WHY DON'T YOU CALL FOR HELP? I'M NOT TIED UP NOW,
I'LL DRAG YOU BACK DEAD, AMIGO,
[ Gunfire ] SEÑOR!
THIS WAY! HURRY!
HAVE YOU CALCULATED DOUG'S NEW POSITION?
FORTUNATELY, THE TREE'S AN EXACT REFERENCE POINT,
IT'S 3:56 IN THE ALAMO,
YOU'VE GOT TO BE READY TO TAKE HIM IN FOUR MINUTES, FOUR MINUTES,
NO, I WON'T DO IT,
HONEY, HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, YOU CAN'T STAY HERE,
EVEN IF HE WERE TELLING THE TRUTH, DO YOU THINK I'D GO AND LEAVE YOU HERE?
WHEN YOU'RE THROUGH, CAPTAIN, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, YES, SIR,
I'M, UH, SORRY TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM YOUR WIFE WHEN THERE'S SO LITTLE TIME FOR YOU TO TALK,
IT'S ALL RIGHT, SIR,
I HAVE A SON GOING TO SCHOOL HERE IN TEXAS,
UNLESS WE CAN HOLD THEM HERE,
HE'S AS VULNERABLE AS YOUR WIFE,
WE CAN'T HOLD 'EM, COLONEL,
IN LESS THAN AN HOUR, THEY'RE GOING TO ENGULF US, SLAUGHTER ALL OF US,
NO MORE! YOU CAN'T WASTE HUMAN LIFE! THERE'S NO REASON IN THE‐‐
I SAID, BE QUIET, CAPTAIN!
IF YOU'VE LOST YOUR NERVE, YOU MAY RESIGN YOUR COMMISSION HERE AND NOW,
BUT AS LONG AS YOU'RE UNDER MY COMMAND, YOU WILL FOLLOW ORDERS INSTANTLY,
AND YOU WILL KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF,
DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
YES, SIR,
I WANT THE WOUNDED,,,
MOVED INTO THE CHAPEL,
DO IT QUIETLY, WITHOUT FUSS,
YES, SIR,
REPORT TO THE BATTERY ON THE SOUTH WALL, SOLDIER, I'LL TAKE OVER HERE,
WHAT TIME IS IT, CAPTAIN?
ALMOST 4:00, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME,
OR HAVE YOU DECIDED NOT TO BELIEVE ME?
I DO BELIEVE YOU, THEN WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
AT LEAST EVACUATE THE WOUNDED,
WE'D NEVER GET 'EM THROUGH THE MEXICAN LINES,
BUT TWO PEOPLE IN GOOD CONDITION COULD MAKE IT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TWO?
I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT I DO KNOW YOU DON'T BELONG WITH US,
IF I SET YOU FREE,
WILL YOU TAKE MY WIFE WITH YOU?
HAS SHE AGREED TO GO? NOT YET, BUT I CAN TALK HER INTO IT,
NOW, IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU TOLD ME BEFORE, YOU'LL TAKE HER WITH YOU,
YOU'LL GIVE HER A CHANCE TO LIVE,
ALL RIGHT, HOW DO WE GET OUT OF HERE?
I'LL BRING HER TO YOU AT THE SOUTH GATE,
I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE HOSPITAL AREA,
AND NO ONE WILL QUESTION MY AUTHORITY EXCEPT TRAVIS,
IF THAT HAPPENS, YOU LEAVE IT TO ME,
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO,
CAN YOU TRACK HIM? IF HE DOESN'T MOVE TOO QUICKLY,
IT'S 3:59, WE'LL TRY TO RETRIEVE HIM EXACTLY AT THE HOUR,
YOU MEN FORM A DETAIL, START TAKING THESE MEN INTO THE CHAPEL,
CAPTAIN,
WHERE DO I GO WHEN I LEAVE THE ALAMO?
YOU'LL BE DUE EAST PAST AN OLD BARN, MY WIFE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY,
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, CAPTAIN?
I GAVE ORDERS THAT THE PRISONER WAS TO BE KEPT UNDER RESTRAINT,
WELL HE WAS RIGHT IN THE WAY OF NUMBER‐ONE BATTERY, SIR, I WAS TAKING HIM INSIDE,
AND JUST WHAT DIRECTIVE GIVES YOU THE POWER TO COUNTERMAND MY ORDERS, CAPTAIN?
NOW, HOLD ON, COLONEL, AT LEAST HEAR ME OUT,
IF I WERE YOU, CAPTAIN, I WOULD SAY NOTHING MORE,
YOU'RE IN ENOUGH TROUBLE AS IT IS,
YOU WILL CONSIDER YOURSELF UNDER ARREST, SENTRY!
PUT THESE TWO MEN UNDER CLOSE ARREST,
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
WHAT AM I DOING HERE? THIS IS THE TIME TUNNEL, COLONEL,

HOW WAS I BROUGHT HERE?
HOW DID I COME TO THIS PLACE?

YES, HE'S A TIME TRAVELER FROM OUR TIME, NOT YOURS,
I WANT YOUR WORD THAT YOU'LL RELEASE HIM,
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GIVE ME ORDERS,
COLONEL, YOUR ENTIRE COMMAND WILL BE WIPED OUT WITHIN AN HOUR,
NONSENSE! IT'S NOT NONSENSE,
IT'S HISTORY,
THIS IS THE YEAR 1968, WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE,
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU,

STEP OVER HERE, PLEASE, COLONEL,
LOOK,

WHAT KIND OF VOODOO MAGIC IS THIS? IT'S NOT VOODOO MAGIC,
