The Magnificent Seven Ride! Page #3

for quite a while.

Hey, this isn't like with Mackay?

We're not gonna cut out on 'em?

No, or I'd have told 'em

so they could make other plans.

Suddenly it is not so bad, huh?

- What?

- Me bein' a killer.

No, it's turned out to be quite useful.

There's somethin' else. We don't

have to go lookin' for Shelly now.

He's gonna come ridin' in

with De Toro. Come on.

- You will come back?

- Yeah.

Suppose they come back before you do?

Just pray they don't.

Stop worryin'. We'll be back.

(Chris) I knew he wouldn't run.

Shelly. Mackay killed him.

The women need you anyway.

You gotta help 'em, Chris.

You promised.

He did my job.

I'll do his.

- I don't think this is quite legal.

- I don't care what you think.

The governor's approved it. He's the boss.

- I won't turn these men loose.

- You're not turnin' 'em loose.

You're paroling them in my custody.

It don't seem right, turning 'em loose

to do the very things...

.. they were put in here

for doing in the first place.

Marshal, I think you oughta know.

They're not quite so tough any more.

- I had to do a bit of taming.

- You didn't tame 'em, you broke 'em.

They weren't sent here for a vacation.

Pepe.

- Chris, I've been thinking about you.

- Have you?

You better believe it.

How's it goin', Walt?

- Answer!

- It's all right.

It's not all right.

They're in my custody now.

Captain.

May I ask what you mean about

us being in your custody now?

Can you still handle dynamite, Elliot?

Good.

- Still smiling, huh, Skinner?

- Only on the outside, Chris.

- Fast as ever?

- I wish you'd try me.

I've got pardons here, signed

by the governor for each of you.

When I countersign 'em,

you'll be free men.

- Well, then, sign 'em.

- You're gonna earn 'em first.

- How?

- Join a posse I'm leadin'.

- Go to hell.

- All right, put him back in his cell.

Hey, wait a minute.

All right, Chris.

- Whatever you say.

- Who are we going after?

- Juan De Toro.

- Into Mexico?

Pardons, hell. That's seven against 70.

You're takin' us in there to get killed.

The odds are long. Pay's good.

But there is one hitch.

If I get killed by you, by accident

or by De Toro's bunch,...

.. the governor will assume that you did it.

And he'll come trackin' you down

and hang every one of you.

But we'll be in Mexico.

All right, who wants to go?

(Chris) Walt?

Get the chains off of 'em.

Right face. March!

You fool. Can't you see

what they're thinking?

They'll let you lead them into Mexico,

then blow your head off and join De Toro.

I'm sure that's exactly

what they're thinkin'.

- That's all we're taking?

- Yeah.

- Let's get more men.

- Seven's always been my lucky number.

Damn it, couldn't you have waited

till you got farther away from here?

Take 'em.

Here's a double for you, Skinner.

Well, you only need one

if you're really good.

Figured you'd like to have that.

Didn't think you'd want one.

Well, I haven't been in

a situation like this lately.

Well, don't blow your foot off.

- Who's the dude?

- He takes notes.

He's gonna write all about you.

All right, when you're ready, mount up.

Elliot. You're gonna drive the wagon.

Hear you had a little trouble.

A few of the boys cut me some.

Did they have good cause?

They thought so. Warden made me

take charge of a work detail.

Had to build up a new cellblock.

And you built it solid?

Well, you'll be buildin' again.

- Stone or brick?

- Barbed wire this time.

Hayes.

At your trial you promised

you were gonna blow my brains out.

- That was the mood of the moment.

- I picked you...

.. because I need a man

who knows battles.

Not gunfights. Battles.

Let's cut through it, Chris.

I'm out and I'm not goin' back.

- You can depend on me.

- I hope so.

(Chris) Let's go.

Let's ride in the rear.

I don't like havin' my back to 'em.

It don't matter. You won't be able to

stop 'em once they make their move.

How long do you figure they'll wait?

This ain't a patient bunch.

This way. Come on.

Chris, this isn't the way

to Magdalena. Where we goin'?

De Toro's stronghold.

- He's not there.

- If he was, we wouldn't be goin' there.

That's gotta be her.

De Toro's woman.

I hope De Toro's as proud

of her as Laurie said.

Well, Laurie was wrong about one thing.

He's not completely crazy mad.

Let me see her.

I'll introduce her to you in time.

So how many... how many

guards do you figure?

Enough to give you your share.

There's a hacienda just over

that hill. There's a few risks.

But there's enough loot in there

to give you all a fresh start.

- You're gonna help us rob a hacienda?

- You'll all be rich by mornin'.

- Rich?

- Why are you bein' so good to us?

I'm doin' no more for you

than you'd do for me.

How in hell do you mean that?

- Like he says it.

- You on his side?

Kept that guard from

busting me with that club again.

Why, you damn fool,

he didn't do that for you.

He just knew if your ass was busted

you couldn't ride a horse.

Was that the reason?

Not exactly.

Hold it. Chris, do you mean that we go in

there and we can take anything we want?

That's exactly what I mean.

- All right, what's your plan?

- Oh, I figured we'd just ride in there...

.. and shoot down anyone carryin' a gun.

Ah, that's sloppy.

Who's in the assault wave? Who are

the reserves? You have to have flankers.

Suppose you get hit,

who assumes command?

Uh, Noah.

- I've got better qualifications.

- Relax, Hayes.

Captain Hayes. I've ambushed Apaches.

Anything in this world

is child's play after that.

He's got a good argument there.

All right, Hayes.

- You.

- You all heard that?

Yeah, we heard that.

Captain.

- All right, I'll work out some tactics.

- Hayes, you're a pain in the ass.

Yeah, but a useful one. Come on, let's go.

Pepe.

Here.

That Gatling gun, right up there.

Everybody else is getting

a better deal than me again, eh, Chris?

- How come I get the worst job?

- Because you're the best with that.

Am I?

You cross me, Pepe, and you'll be

killin' your friends too. Now get goin'.

They're no friends of mine.

Around there.

Walt, check out the stable.

Skinner, got a good one for you.

See those two right there?

Go get 'em.

Come on.

- Take that one alive.

- Yeah, we're just leadin' damn recruits.

We better give 'em a few

more minutes to get in position.

Hey, amigo.

Pepe! Pepe!

Pepe!

- I'm gonna have to get around there.

- OK, I'll draw their fire.

Pepe! Where the hell are you?

Oh, hell.

Up here.

Come on.

Noah. Tie her up.

Gringo desgraciado.

Gracias.

Hayes, bring me the live one.

You speak English?

Now you go to De Toro and you tell him

that I, Chris, degrade his woman.

Skinner.

And you tell him the names of

the rest of the men that did this to him.

Pepe Carral. Walt Drummond.

And Andy Hayes.

Scott Elliot. Noah Forbes.

And Mark Skinner.

You got that?

And you tell him that we'll be waitin'

for him, with his woman, at Magdalena.

Now get goin'.

Stop him!

- What the hell you doin', Chris?
