The Magnificent Seven Page #6

Trouble with taking one of these positions,

you can't ever get down.

Now, whatever happens, Bogue can't leave.

How do we even know Bogue's gonna show?

- He'll show.

- And if he just shoots you in the head?

Then just shoot him in the head.

Hell, I don't know, avenge me.

If we can lure him into the bottleneck,

close the door behind him,

each group fire and advance,

we stand a chance.

Worst-case scenario,

all is lost and we blow the mine.

This right here is the best spot.

Can we take position up there? Is it safe?

Anything left up there to stand on?

Won't have to go too far

to pray for forgiveness.

There you go.

But there is no forgiveness

for men like you, gero.

Don't call me gero.

What's gero mean, anyway?

- Handsome? Debonair?

- Yeah, something like that.

No, this is our stronghold.

You funnel them all towards the church.

Where am I?

You keep the women and children

safe and out of harm...

I aim to fight.

Well, if it comes to that,

then we're all dead, ain't we?

Let's hope if we die, we've confessed.

Goody.

You all right?

What do you say, Sam,

about 50 or 75 yards out?

That's our trench.

Ditches on each side!

The rest of y'all stand to the side!

We're gonna need another ditch by the livery.

See that?

Good, and heave!

- All right, tie it up, now.

- Put your weapon...

Make sure you paint the whole thing.

Very smart, smoking, huh?

- Three minutes.

- That's too much land to cover.

Where did them eggs come from?

A chicken's ass, you dummy.

Did I introduce you to my wife?

Her name is Ethel, and I love her.

Hello, Ethel. Charmed.

And I consider her to be the love of my life.

And she is a no-bullshitter,

- she's a straight shooter.

- All right, calm down, now.

Put the gun away, son.

- Her name is Ethel.

- Put it away.

And you'll show her some goddamn respect.

Yeah.

It's Maria you can disrespect.

Don't tell Ethel about Maria.

Wait, wait, wait. My Maria, cabrn?

You have a Maria?

I have three Marias!

That's not right.

The owl followed me here.

- Nothing's following you.

- I heard the voice.

- Goody...

- I heard the voice.

- Goody.

- Billy, I heard it.

I pull that trigger in violence again,

I'm gonna die a ghastly death, Billy.

I heard it.

- Same thing, it's not the same thing.

- Yeah, it is.

No, a woman's a woman,

a gun's a gun, in the Lord's eye.

They're just dreams, Goody.

You talk about guns, you talk about women,

you talk about 'em separately.

It ain't right.

Sure it is. Sure it is, my friend.

I had a wife once.

Had a family. Had some children, too.

One time.

Now the stitching'll outlast you, I imagine.

That's... That's very nice of you.

I didn't ask you to do that.

I didn't ask you to ask.

You quit staring.

I didn't ask her to do that.

Well, the lady just did some poking

and sticking for you.

Maybe you should consider

returning the favor, you know?

Okay, all right.

- Evening, Mr. Chisolm.

- Preacher.

- What a beautiful night it is.

- Yes, it is.

I just wanted to take a moment

to come up here

and to thank you

for everything that you've done for us.

It's been a long while since we've been able

to enjoy an evening quite like tonight.

Before you and your men arrived,

all of our everyday pleasures

had been taken from us.

To have those back,

even if only for a moment,

well, it might not mean that much to you,

but, by God,

we are all eternally grateful to you.

More than you know, preacher.

Last thing I wanna be doing is playing cards.

- All night.

- All night.

You know, some of these folks

ain't gonna make it.

Yeah.

- Here we go. Easy. Easy.

- Steady.

- Throw me the other end!

- Here you go.

Okay, pues.

- That far enough?

- That'll do!

All right, two or three more of those,

then we're good.

That's it, right there.

Look. Look. Look.

Watch your head now, Teddy.

Now you can pray for us, Father.

My brother, I will pray for you

until I forget how to pray.

Water, Mr. Chisolm?

This is a grand day

in the history books of Rose Creek!

God bless you, Mr. Chisolm, sir.

Vindication, brothers and sisters!

- Water, Mr. Horne?

- Thank you, miss.

For God's glory!

Bogue comes with his men.

When?

Dawn.

The Lord said, "Where there are two or three

gathered in My name,

"I will be there."

You just gonna run off

before you get your cut of the gold?

Well, y'all gonna be dead

this time tomorrow, Sam.

I believe every man's got the right

to choose where he dies, if he can.

Well, that kind of talk

may work with these other sons of b*tches,

but I know why you're here.

And it's not for the benefit of mankind.

You run out on these people, Goody,

and you gonna be disappointing

more than just them or me.

Remember what you said to me

when them Billy Yanks

were kicking my sorry ass six ways to Sunday?

- I remember.

- Yeah?

You asked me why I wanted to save

a piece of rebel trash like you,

and I told you the war was over.

- But it ain't over, Sam.

- Yes, it is.

No, it isn't. No, the killing's not over.

It keeps going on and on and on.

- I seen so much death.

- The war is over

for both of us.

What we lost in the fire,

we'll find in the ashes.

I need you.

I've become everything I despise. I...

I'm faint-hearted and I'm a coward.

Bye.

You remember me as I was.

Come on.

...hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

You all right?

Well...

Where's Billy?

It looks like he's started to drink.

All right. Well...

Anybody else want to leave, now's the time.

No one'll hold no ill will towards you.

What about you?

I...

I believe I'm gonna see this through.

These people deserve their lives back.

I have nowhere else to go, so I'm in.

You know, I knew that tomorrow

was gonna be a dark day.

And now that there's one less of us,

gonna be darker.

But to be in the service of others

with men that I respect,

like you all...

Well, I shouldn't have

to ask for more than that.

- I'll see you in the morning.

- All right.

I'm hungry.

Wait. Hell, you speak English?

So?

You little sh*t. We got a lot to talk about.

Don't walk away from me!

I'll take his place.

- Who?

- Goodnight.

Just saw him ride out.

Thank you for the strength

that you have given me.

It's time.

Come on, children!

- Come on.

- Children, quickly, please, go on.

- Let's go.

- Come on, hurry!

Hurry, children!

Come on, come on.

Now get on down in there. Come on.

Watch your step.

Easy, easy.

Steady.

Easy now, easy.

Chisolm?

It's him, all right.

It's only minutes.

We're safe. Nothing to fear.

Yeah.

Mr. Denali.

Keep it clear!

- Come on!

- Steady!

That's it, straight on!

- Mask up.

- All together. Come on.

Bring 'em up!

Steady on, boys! Steady on!

Mind your sister.

Come on, line up, boys. Steady on, steady on!

Shoot whoever you see!

Don't spare a soul, do you hear me?

Go around! Go around!

Go through the miners' camp!
