to protect other families as well.

If you'd bothered to ask, that's why

I left the Alamo. For the same thing.

Stroud, I can't figure out

what side you're on.

You have your orders, Lieutenant,

if I were you I'd obey them.

Go ahead, Oarling, we'll be alright.

What do you intend to do? - I intend

to take these wagons through.

I'll get my horse.

Alright, men, check your equipment.

We're leaving for San Jacinto

Mr. Stroud? Good luck.

Thanks, we're gonna need it.

Oo you mind shaking hands?

Take care of them for me, Fred.

Good bye, Oarling. - Lieutenant,

I'd like to have ten of your rifles.

Alright, you first ten men

bring your rifles up here!

What do we do now, Mr. Stroud?

- Get these wagons in 2 lines of 4!

If there's trouble, I don't want us

spread out all over the country.

It'll be rough from now on, Ma'am.

We're gonna ride without a break.

They headed this way? - No, they

took off southeast, towards Boulder.

That's a long way from here.

- We can still make it.

The soldiers left them. - What do you

mean? - The whole detachment took off.

A trap? - No, they ain't comin' back.

- Let's go.

Wade's gang is coming. Get the women

and children to lie down. Let's go!

My line's broken!

Pile everything up in the wagons.

Get the children behind that bank.

Can these women shoot a gun?

- I can teach 'em.

Give me the gun, Carlos!

- How can I shoot? - Get down!

This is a trap for sure. He's led us

into a trap. - Keep quiet and help!

Reload. They'll be comin' back.

Cavish, Oawes, Morrell und Brown,

we'll circle and come in behind them!

Williams, when you hear me shoot, you

and the rest attack from the front.

Gage! Grab a horse and

a couple of pistols and come with me.

You want me to go with you?

- You can shoot? - I shoot real good!

Let's go, then.

Oon't shoot

till you're sure we can get one.

Get up there. Wade'll try to come

around the lake and attack from here.

Get out of here!

Stroud! You're going over the fall!

Everybody alright?

- Yes, thanks to you, Mr. Stroud.

You haven't got far to go now.

Carlos, I'll be back for you

as soon as I can.

I'm headed for San Jacinto.

Alright Mr. Gage, get these wagons

rollin' - You heard what the man said!

He'll come back, Miss Beth.

- I hope so, Carlos.

So do I. For both of us.
