these yokels could write.

- What are they up to?

- They know it won't be any picnic.

Wanna be sure and get buried

under the right name.

It's a good idea.

You write my name, I write yours.

We'll fool Saint Peter yet!

- What luck?

- We went all the way around the fort.

- They are better prepared than last time.

- And our attack failed the last time.

Seores, I'm glad you're here.

How can we best use your Winchesters?

They're the nearest thing

to artillery you have.

Very well. You will cover us

with fire while we assault the gates.

Hey, General, that's a great idea!

We'll be right behind ya!

Hey, amigo, what you got there? Tequila?

Strange man, seor. The first like him I

ever met who could be happy with his lot.

Why is that strange? He stands

a chance to win a big prize tomorrow.

Money. Is that worth risking your life for?

Comes closer than anything I know.

A man's got to have more than that.

He needs something to believe in.

I got that too.

- You two have met before.

- A couple of times.

You are surprised to see me?

Why? I believe last night both of us knew

that gold belongs to Mexico.

Like bees to honey, eh, Ben?

Thanks.

Looks like we tied up

with the wrong outfit.

Give 'em some help. Aim for the windows!

On to the second position!

Let's go!

Nice shootin', Colonel!

They got a lotta guts.

If they get that gold, they'll have earned it!

You ain't thinkin' of keepin' that bargain?

I wouldn't give 'em the sweat off my brow!

Grenade!

Move it, men!

Joseph!

- Chrie! Where's the gold?

- The marquis! He's making a run for it!

Ben! The marquis!

- Ballad! Donnegan!

- Be right back.

Go!

Ballad! Snake that wagon outta here!

- Oh, chrie...

- Where's the boat?

Only a few miles. The next cove

up the coast... the north side.

Now we both know where it is. Don't we?

Joseph, you're taking me with you?

You and Ben Trane... you'll never learn.

So long, chrie!

- Hold it, Ballad! You got a passenger.

- We got it, Mr Erin!

Thanks.

Joe!

Looks like you meant

that Ace Hanna story after all.

Too bad you missed the point.

I'm takin' that wagon out.

That gold's goin' to the Juaristas.

Not if you give me a fair chance at a draw.

Just like you gave Ballad.

That old soft spot, eh, Ben?

Even Ace had one, Joe.

That was Ace's mistake.
