with the enemy, except myself.

You will be, sir, soon enough.

Ben, you're back.

Aye.

Any trouble about the place?

Not that I've seen.

All quiet.

Where are the others?

I've not seen 'em yet.

Strange, they should

have arrived days ago.

Hope they're alright,

Why don't you come inside?

I'll get Mary to cook up

a nice supper.

I think it's best I make camp.

Alright.

Gilbert and Dunn are gone.

Gone?

What do you mean?

Gone where?

Some Strickland stockmen

passed by yesterday, they

must have mistaken them

as policemen and bolted.

Dammit, we should have taken

them when we had the chance.

But Ben Hall's here.

What?

Just arrived, not an hour ago.

Camped half a mile from my place.

We take Hall immediately,

while we still can.

Davidson, if you ambush

Hall right there, in his camp,

you shoot him right there

and then, I'm tellin' you.

If he gets but a yard on you,

you'll lose him.

You can bet your life on it.

And then he'll know it was me.

He'll know!

Shoot him.

Still no sign of the boys?

Take a look around

first thing tomorrow.

Can't be far off.

See you in the morning, alright?

Mick,

Thank you.

There! Hall's in that bush somewhere.

Let's go get him now.

Not in daylight. He'll

see us coming a mile off.

Billy! Go ahead.

Find out exactly where Hall's?

Report straight back.

Quiet now! No noise, hm?

Good luck.

Now listen here, Billy. You get close

enough and you shoot that bastard.

You got that, Boyle?

You do as your ordered.

I do what he say.

What do you think you've

been given this for?

We're here to kill this man. If you

get the chance, then you shoot him.

Don't bloody miss.

Did you find him?

Yes, boss.

Ben Hall came over in

that trees there. Big bush.

Hard to be quiet.

We won't get within 40 yards\

without him hearing us.

I'm not underestimating this man,

Sergeant, not here!

This is his world. He knows the

bush like the blacks know the bush.

Quiet, lads, here's our play.

Keep this:

You take Buckley, Coburn,

Bourne and Charlie...

you circle right

round behind him

take a position on the lee side,

now you spread right out

across that flank

in case he makes a

break for that corner.

Now, you keep a good distance,

wait there til first light

Nobody makes a move on him,

fires a single shot,unless I do.

If we can take him alive, we will.

Let's move!

I'm up.

Wait! Boot off,

all of you.

Sir?

He'll hear us coming a mile off.

Boots off!

Ben Hall!

On my mark.

Hall!

Stand fast!

Hall!

Shoot him!

Shoot him now!

Stand fast!

Come on!

No!

Cease fire!

Halt!

No, no, I'm wounded.

I'm wounded.

Hold fire!

Hold fire! No!

Hold fire!

Cease Fire!

My God! What happened?

You couldn't take him alive?

No, Sir.

Never gave us the chance.

Well, he must have put

up one hell of a last fight.

He didn't fire a shot.

What?

He didn't fire a single shot, Sir.

He was on the run, though, Sir

And armed... had no choice

I want a full report from

both of you, immediately!
