The Last Hard Men Page #5

How can we do that with Susan up there?

We've gotta take the chance.

If she stays with them, she's dead.

Shut up.

- And Provo?

- He's still down there.

Sitting and waiting.

As soon as she's burning good,

get going.

Hey, they're burning us out!

They're burning us out!

The fire, it's coming up the mountain.

Shiraz, get the horses.

Gant, get the other blanket.

I'll get the girl.

Menendez!

No, not that way.

The horses are down here.

Not today, amigo.

He's coming.

The son of a b*tch is coming.

Shelby.

- Run, Susie!

- Get away from her, kid.

Run, Susie! Run to the right!

Get away from her, kid.

Come on, the blankets.

All right, you pig.

I lost the damn bastard in the rocks.

He's gonna chase us

all the way to Canada.

Nobody can chase you

if you don't run, kid.

Listen, amigo. You go down there

behind those rocks. I'll stay up here.

We'll catch him in a crossfire

when he comes up, huh?

There he is.

Why didn't you shoot him?

I can almost see that gold from here.

Listen, kid, see that rock over there?

Look. See that rock?

At the base of that rock

is an old oak tree.

Fifty paces north

is where all that gold's buried.

Now, you take your girl...

and go down

on the back side of this hill...

in them rocks, and you wait.

Think about all that gold.

Now move, go on.

If you'd come over that ridge

five minutes ago...

you would be a dead man.

Down below, I saw the ones you killed.

There's only two of them left.

Provo and the kid, up there with Susan.

That's Menendez.

- You got it straight now?

- Yes, sir.

Well, I think I ought to be

the one to go up there.

Appreciate the offer.

But this is the way

I used to make my living.

Give me 15...

Better make it 20 minutes.

It's a mighty rough hill.

Remember, three shots,

then get that horse going.

Stop shooting!

Susan.

Captain.

This is gonna take a long time.

Drop it.

Drop it.

No!

Stop it!

Not yet.

Not yet.

Now.

I take your heart.

Susie.

Help me. Please.

Susie.
