In frontier warfare, strategic defense requires leveraging terrain advantages, resource control, and psychological tactics to overcome numerical disadvantages. The film demonstrates how a small group can defend against overwhelming forces by utilizing natural barriers like canyons, controlling essential resources such as water, and employing psychological warfare through deception and morale management. Success depends on understanding that survival in hostile environments requires not just physical defense but also strategic resource management and the ability to maintain unity under pressure.

Dan Duryea in One of the Most Intense, Action-Packed Desert Westerns Ever Made | Full Movie
Added:Put your weapon away. What do you want?
Water.
Take it and leave. I suppose I'll be able to get something to eat. I have traveled a lot. Do n't even dream about it. if I meet other thirsty travelers. I'll tell you, this isn't the most welcoming place in the West. I would appreciate it.
Move. Good.
Well, Mr. Avery, it seems that you and I are the only ones on this expedition who prefer the pen to the sword.
He likes to draw. I like carrying books. I have carried books and assisted Mr. Rutherford for 15 years.
Yes, that's true.
I greatly appreciate your hospitality, Mr. Rutherford.
And I am grateful for the hospitality shown to my son in England. But it 's good to have Roy back home.
He belongs to the lands of Rutherford.
Oh, is that me? Drawing our rugged-looking cowboys has given you a bloodthirsty mind, Mr. Kery. It's even managed to make me look a little wild and desperate.
No, Mr. Averies, these lines here and there provoke it, but they disappear when finished. This should be the most interesting day for you. How do I get there? He found what he was looking for. Yes or no?
Well, Carmeck, you've fortified the place like a fort. I don't know how many men are there, but they are armed. That doesn't sound like a simple, scared settler to me.
Difficult terrain for an attack. They are in a closed canyon. The only entrance is in front of their weapons. Well, you know how it is. They have plenty of water, which we don't have.
I thought this would be simple.
Well, Mr. Rutherford, a month ago, when Cory Everett was told to leave his property, he was alone. I don't think I've been misinformed. Of course, he could have received reinforcements. The demands of any war.
war. But we pay these men to fight. It's a little different.
Stay out of the sun.
All men fight for their own reasons. They fight for money. We fight for what is yours. Okay, let's continue with this. We will ride on. Tell the wagon to meet us outside the canyon. You know, I feel sorry for that Avery.
Yes, but sometimes it irritates me that he wears his brother's uniform.
Well, that just goes to show how much I wanted to be in the army.
It's better this way. You don't need to be healthy to be an accountant, and he's one of the best. TRUE. I'll be with you in a moment.
I thought certain things were settled.
You know what I think about this, Dad.
How much land does a man need? I told you it depends on the man.
I wish you would not oppose me. I have spent a lifetime fighting for what is mine.
So what's wrong with that?
The fight. All this fuss to kick some squatters off the edge. It seems to have no end. Land or struggle?
Both.
They are the same and you know it. You must not let your ideas shrink. And they've shrunk since you went to England.
You have to understand, Roy. If you let one squatter settle in, others will follow. And by the time you inherit this, there won't be enough left.
Now, let me run things a little longer. You will be leading them very soon.
Until then, how about...We're ready, sir.
I wish we could go with those barrels of water.
Get your man moving, Hook. It's difficult terrain at 20 meters. And then what?
You get paid to use your weapons, not your mouth.
The man is right. I think they're hiding something from us. Everyone was at that meeting except us. You overthink things, Hookie. For me, 500 dollars is 500 dollars. Kill him.
Oh, we scared him. Poor.
Judith, what are you waiting for? Don't bother them. They won't bother you.
You're a nervous guy, aren't you, Hookie? You did n't need to come on this trip, Avery. This is very hard for a sick man.
If I may say so, sir, it is an honor to serve you and Mr. Roy.
Okay, thanks, Avery. I will not forget your loyalty.
Frankly, Mr. Rutherford, I'd rather die on the battlefield than as an invalid. It would be more in line with my family tradition. Heat. Heat.
Arms.
Turn around, Louis.
Another night on the road. Get up. Okay, stay there. Where did you come from?
Stay away. Finger, are you alone or are there others behind you?
Oh, we're alone looking for a place to spend the night. They look full. I am. Did you see anyone else on the way? Like a search party?
Like someone?
No, but I wish we had.
We will continue on our way if you don't mind. I don't care at all. Curse.
Quickly, from the back.
Why are they firing those weapons?
Go to that corner. It's safer there.
You guys down there, Cory Everett. Cory, we're giving you and your men a chance to get out alive. This is their last chance. They'd better surrender now, Everett. They left.
They are on our land and we are going to get them out.
The law is on our side. We'll give you one minute to come out with your hands up.
Alright, get to work. The real gun is loaded.
I'm with you. You also know how to shoot a rifle.
Not in defense of an outlaw. It's either fight or they kill you. It does n't matter. We need to keep these weapons working. Where is the ammunition? On the table. Albby, come here and load this rifle. Hurry up. We'll get them out of there. I'll take you there and we 'll move forward along this wall. My group will make its way towards these trees. Hey, Dad. You don't have much protection. There is never an easy path to anything.
Now, wait for us to attract their fire, and then move. Look, we're making our way towards these trees.
Take your men and follow me.
Come on. Rocks. Rocks. Why do we need them?
For a man like your father, every rock counts.
Come on, let's put it under our scrutiny.
Thanks, Albby.
Stay low, Albby. I'm fine, Mom. I just tripped.
I move towards those trees. Oh, great. They're coming out the other side. It's a flank attack.
Maintain coverage.
OK. This is not healthy. Let's get out of here. Oh. Heat. Heat.
Alleluia. They've left for now, but they'll be back. I'd better explain something. I did not steal this land. I claimed it legally. That makes her mine. Unless I get expelled or you get hanged. Can we leave now, Louis? Do n't know. I don't like leaving a man alone with his back against the wall.
Nobody knows I'm alone except you. And I wouldn't want anyone to find out. So make yourselves at home.
Hannah, you can't go out there. They will kill you.
The law does not kill people for telling the truth. If I tell you we're not part of this, you'll let it happen... But you're already part of it. I'm staying here because I dug a well. This land is mine by right of possession. That's the law according to me, and I intend to enforce it with a gun.
Laws are usually enforced with weapons, and I have one. The only thing I don't have is a plate. Maybe if I had that, you'd believe me.
I believe you, my friend. Don't be so quick to judge someone, okay? You 're making it difficult for all of us.
Sit down. Sit down. It's safe to go to the well now. We'll find a bucket down there.
Clear. I have some food in the cart.
Food here. If anyone wants to cook it. When they return, they'll think this is a fort, sir.
A fort is useless without men. Obby, looks like I found a couple of good guys. Heat. Heat. Take it to the store.
Be careful with him.
He's the one who should have been careful.
Well, Fo would say it's over.
Bring the medicine.
Although it won't do any good.
Then don't bring her. I ca n't go on with this.
We have to go back. Avery, I'll take care of this. Wait outside.
Too much blood has been spilled. It's not worth it.
I disagree with you, Mr. Rutherford, and I am completely opposed to returning.
You are completely opposed. What are you talking about?
Our objective, Mr. Ruffin, is to evict that occupant. Maybe... I want you to call Hook. I'll tell Mortis to break camp. Didn't you hear me, Avery? Avery, what's wrong?
Nothing, sir. But something's wrong with you.
You are seriously injured. You are not responsible for what you say. I just gave you an order. I want Hook. I'm sorry. I can't allow you to make any more mistakes. You are unfit for command, Mr. Rutherford.
You're crazy. I advise you not to exert yourself.
As you know, I have dedicated myself to your best interests. Their best interests lie in continuing the campaign until there are no more occupiers left on their lands.
In short, I've taken command. Hook, come here, you are a dying man, Mr. Rutherford. He will never live to question my orders.
Listen to me. Listen to me. Roy. Roy, where are you? Dad.
Well, he's dead.
Very good. Mr. Rutherford is dead. They may not realize how this affects their position, but we'll get to that in a moment. I want your attention.
Today we saw a demonstration of the enemy's power. " Well," I said, "I want your attention.
We will attack again at dawn.
In the meantime, I want guards posted."
This is a great team. They shoot you, they blow you up, and then they give speeches. I ask everyone to listen carefully. Gentlemen, you can believe me when I say I'm as skilled with a weapon as I am with a pencil. I can use the same decimal point with either one. Also, I don't like it when people laugh at me. Now, I hope we understand each other. I do n't think that's the case, Mr. Avery.
For your information, Mr. Hook, I am giving the orders from now on. And what if we do n't accept them, sir?
S.
Yes.
Get Rutherford's weapons. I'm warning you, sir. Anyone who touches Mr. Rutherford's property will have to answer to me. Bring the weapons, Hook, and bring them to me. Leave them there.
As I said, I'm in charge now.
He's in charge. Very good. But not of his faculties. What do you say if we leave here?
I wouldn't try it if I were you. I know you have a trigger finger, sir. Sure, he'll kill a couple, maybe three of us, but you and your weapons can't force us to stay if we want to leave. I don't think you're going anywhere, gentlemen. They will stay and do their job because the only water for 200 miles is on that settler's ranch. In other words, they fight or they die. Understood? I do n't think you understand, Mr. Avery, we have an injured man here.
We need water for him. That's exactly what I mean. And it's his job to get her for him up there.
Gentlemen, one more point to consider. I don't like it when people whisper.
Hook. I want to talk to you. Calm down, Mr. Hook, please remain calm.
Now, let's get down to business. I have decided to appoint him as my assistant. Is that your decision, Mr. Avery? Or should I call you General?
I hope he does. I think it improves morale. And when we have expelled the settler, we will talk about improving his financial situation. As?
We've had some losses, as you know. There may be more. I hate to sound insensitive, but dead men don't need money. In other words, there will be a surplus to distribute among the living. I'll keep that in mind, general. As my second in command, his share would be even larger than the others'. I'm sure you can make good use of this, Mr. Hook. There's no need to shake hands, is there? I do n't see how I could do it, unless I give up one of those weapons. You know I'd never do that, Mr. Hook.
Open that chest. Give them an advance on their salaries. Perhaps that will calm their spirits. Take a bag. That's all?
That's all. What happened? I survived.
And that's not the only surprise. He dropped some gold. Did someone mention gold?
Share it, guys. Lord, don't let him get away. What's happening? You made the deal. Besides, that's just a preview. And if anyone is unhappy, let them complain to the general.
Maybe that will do it. I want it all now. How tall are you, Cooper?
Where do you want to go? We just want to dig the right hole for you. Is that what you mean, Hookie? That's exactly what I mean. They're going to have to get used to it. They will have to do everything he says. He's serious. Which side are you on, Hook?
Right behind those ivory pistols. It's safer that way. Don't be discouraged, my friend. Gold is where you find it. What you need to worry about is how to spend it.
Come on, keep digging. It's a very professional job. It should be. I've worked quite a bit on this.
Mining.
I tried my luck at many things. None of them were a big deal. You seem interested in them. I'm sorry.
If you read them, you would know they are from a woman. I didn't have to read them to know that.
Time for bed, Albi.
Yes, ma'am. I'll sleep with my clothes on in case they attack.
Good boy.
Good night, Dad.
Good evening, Albby. You should n't take it into account. She's a little tense because of the fighting. You see, in recent years, I've had my ups and downs. Well, she's not the type of woman for that kind of life. In a way, you can't blame her. Hannah is from the east.
At least she tried. I know one who doesn't. Maybe you're better off this way.
Maybe.
I suppose you know that, even if I let you go, you wouldn't have much of a chance with that cart. I know the odds are against me. You also realize what it means to stay here. It's likely they'll eliminate us all. To me, to you, to your family, to everyone. We will defend ourselves well. Besides, you don't have any other option, do you? I do n't believe it. You know, I can't help but wonder about you in this place, Cory. It hardly seems worth it.
Of course, I'm no great land judge.
From what I've seen of yours, it doesn't seem very fertile.
You should have seen it before he dug the well. So nobody wanted him. Just me. If it weren't for that well, Rutherford wouldn't want it now.
Somehow, I don't feel like giving it to him.
Cory, if I could catch what you have, I wouldn't leave this place. I would stay too. I admire you for that.
Thank you for staying so long. Alright.
I have some things I need in the cart.
Stay here. Go find them.
Everything that's in the box.
Yes. You don't trust anyone, do you?
You have to know people to trust them.
Then you've just made a mistake.
How do you know he won't abandon you? Don't know. I don't think it's that kind of thing.
And I do.
Perhaps it's because he doesn't consider me a fugitive.
You're a fool. You believe what you want to believe. That's why I need a gun to speak for you. If you lose an argument, you pull the trigger. Well, that's not so easy for a woman, is it?
Maybe not. But you don't seem to have any calluses from trying.
And I won't have them either. That's for big, strong men like you.
Winning the West is your job.
Women are just in the way.
Or they run home.
Yes. And I'm running away home like I'm doing now.
And I'm glad for the opportunity. It would never occur to you, would it, that I might have a good reason to run away? I 'm fed up with men who look you in the eye, shake your hand, and then shoot you in the back. Very skilled with the weapon, Mr. Ever, but you're a terrible judge of character. They were helmet brands. He's gone, right? Mother. Yes, Albby. He's gone. Please do not ask any questions now. Get some sleep.
Thank you. Yes, Mr. Hook.
We have one of the occupants outside.
Let the spy in. Bring Ramos. I do n't know who their knights are. I just want to explain. I was passing through the territory with my wife and son.
Please sit down, sir.
No, we were just passing through. My wife was feeling quite unwell. Looking for a place to...Hold it. I 'm not one of those up there. I just want a safe passage out of the camp.
Mr. Hook, make this man understand. We are not interested in lies.
How many men are in the enemy camp?
Man, woman, my son, I think you should stick to the facts, don't you, Mr. Hook? Leave. 15 men, maybe 20.
Please. I told him there are only three.
Try again, sir. How many? Let's start with 15. Think about it carefully now. That's all. That's all. That's all. You must be terribly tired, Mr. Everett.
I have to keep an eye on things. You never know when they'll attack us. I thought I saw something move. Or was it just the shadow of a tree? He's not afraid, is he?
A bit. Maybe. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
I guess Dad was scared the whole time. I'm sorry he did what he did, Mr. Everett.
A good sentry doesn't talk, Elby.
Yes sir.
I can keep an eye on things if he wants to sleep a little. That would be good for me. Alright. Maybe I'll close my eyes for a while.
Everything is ready. I won't let you down, Mr. Everett. Have you ever fired a rifle, Elby?
Clear. I gave it to a squirrel once.
Although I never shot a man.
Let's hope he doesn't have to. If something moves down there, just imagine it 's a squirrel. What is he doing with that weapon? Standing guard. We're short of men, in case you've forgotten. Elby is not a man. He is a small child. I'm going to take it with me.
Mother, I don't want to leave.
It seems he's attracted to cowards.
Why does he want to turn the boy into one? I don't care about that. It's not going to turn him into a murderer.
Once I asked him to take up a rifle, now I order him to put it down.
Don't come any closer, Mr. Everett. Give it to me. He's not going to turn my son into a murderer.
I told him to give it to me. He has very bad aim. Water. Where is the water? Give me some water. Here. I want some water. I'm sorry, Roy. There is nothing left.
I want you to come with me, Elby. I ca n't, mother. I can't leave it. You do n't know what you're getting yourself into down there. It's not what you think at all. I'll come back for you.
Dad, where are you? I know you're out there. drinking water and the others.
You want me to die, don't you? You want me to... Are you going to let Roy die in there?
That's tough.
I suppose it can't be avoided. If possible. Someone can get out with a flag of truce and ask that occupant for water.
Well, I'll go if you don't want to, because nobody will deny water to a dying person. You do n't know this country very well, my friend. They do it all the time. Hey, you're right. A flag of truce would get us something to drink.
The truth is, it would be good for me.
Listen, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Roy.
On the contrary, we are talking about quenching our thirst. He is what they call a means to an end. How can you be so insensitive? You're talking about a human being. Because?
You're not even thinking about him, are you? They are thinking about yourselves. Don't you have even a shred of decency? Be quiet. I don't like that word: decency.
So, what do you think about the water?
I wish it had rained. Forward.
Suggest it to the general. What do we have to lose?
Nothing. Just me.
You have much more courage than I do, Hookie. And if something goes wrong, I will always remember you. Believe me. The Rutherford boy is dying. The men want to go down to get water under a flag of truce. Because?
Well, I don't want to see the boy die, that's all.
Mr. Hook, you must think I'm an idiot.
Flag of truce. I will display their flag of truce, but no one from this camp will carry it. There's something you do n't quite understand. I intend to be faithful to the Rutherfords' purposes. Now go out there and tell those coyotes that they'll have their water tomorrow, when we expel those squatters and remove them from Mr. Roy's land, and not before.
Those lands won't do him much good when he's dead, will they?
Not much, Mr. Hook. But in that case, we will expel them from what will turn out to be my land. I recommend that you forget what tempts you, Mr. Hook. If he tries, his life will be remarkably short.
Then I would hate to lose it. I know, general. I'm the only one who can handle that group out there. I wouldn't want to be shot. I won't have to shoot him. But that doesn't mean he'll get out of this store alive. I suggest you don't move. There's a rattlesnake a few inches from his left foot.
Stay perfectly still. Now, I want you to cooperate with me. If I have your word, I will try to save your life. Perhaps you didn't understand me.
We were talking about your life. And I repeat, I want your word that you will follow my orders.
You have my word, General.
Now get out of here and do what you're told. What happened, Hook?
If I hear anyone talk about a truce again, I'll shoot them. It does n't matter anymore. He 's dead. He does n't know how lucky he is. Well, what do we have here?
Another one from the cabin. She went in. I would like to see their leader.
That's the general.
Take her to him.
Another view from the cabin. She's quite pretty.
You can retire, Barry. We've had a small problem here. I'm sorry. I will sit down. I'm very tired. My husband, my son, and I were on our way to Claremont. We stopped in Cory Everett with at least 14 others. Yes. Continue.
No, there weren't 14. There are only two in the cabin. Everett and my son. He's just a child. I'm just asking for safe passage to the next town.
Now tell me why you're really here, ma'am. The safe passage?
What are you trying to do? Lead us into a trap?
Well, how can there be a catch? There are only two people and one is injured.
Madam, you are a beautiful liar. How many rounds do they have per rifle?
Where did they get all those mines?
What are you talking about? They all have some rifles and dynamite. That's all.
What condition are the 15 men in?
Why does he insist on the 15? I said there were two in the cabin, one is a child. How come there are so many men there? How? Unless they were warned that we were coming. I do n't know what you're talking about. She must be crazy.
I suggest that you never use those words again in my presence. I seriously suggest it. I must emphasize to you the need to tell the truth. The man who came before you insisted on lying about the strength of his group, just like you. And as you will see, he paid a very high price for his stubbornness.
I hope he doesn't repeat his mistake. Do you want to tell the truth now? He admits that he lied. I lied. Yes, I lied. Of course. Shall we talk about men now?
Yes, men. He was right. There were 15. Perhaps there are 10 left. They want to surrender. They've had enough.
That's better. Now I will tell you the terms of surrender.
Safe conduct for you and your child.
The others must leave the cabin at dawn, in a line and with their hands raised. My men will escort them to the door. Now they're on their own.
You can even smell the water. What a pleasant aroma. So fresh. Imagine that everything you want goes down your throat. Do you want to stop talking about it? I feel like my stomach is burning.
You know, it's almost worth dying for.
Not quite. But we'd better leave before he changes his mind. Can you see her? She's bleeding again.
It's because she took off the bandage. Try arranging the meat. It's quite deep. Can you handle it? Hurry up. It's draining my energy, and I'm going to need it. I'll be there... I do n't know if I'll be able to, but I'll try. I really will. Are they coming?
No, not yet. They want you to give up.
Go back and tell them I won't. I'm not coming back. You were right about them. You were right about everything.
Mr. River, please. I'm going to take it out.
Is this clean? Yes, mother. It looks like the bullet is very deep inside. Go to the bedroom. Albby. Forward. You'll be alright. He is sleeping. It's so good that you're back, Mom. I could never have done it.
Albby. Yes, mother. You will never see your father again. Albby, did you see it?
Yes, I saw it. Albby, we all have good and bad qualities. Try to remember the good things. He really loved you, Albie. I don't think I knew him very well. I was away for a long time. I liked hearing him laugh and talk about the things he was going to do. Is that what you mean?
That's how it is. To good things, not to lies. I couldn't help but lie. He looked nothing like Mr. Everett. He wasn't a fighter, was he?
No, he was a dreamer. Their dreams simply did not come true. That's all.
Mr. Everett also has dreams.
Except he fights for them.
Perhaps that's the difference.
I suppose so. I trust Mr. Everett, Mother. He would tell the truth even if it meant dying.
That's what your father did in the end. And that's why I want you to forget all the bad things about him. Just remember one thing. The last thing he did was tell the truth. And they killed him for that. They'd better check all the rifles now. We're going to need them. How much longer will we have to wait here, general? I offered them fair surrender terms. We'll wait a few more minutes.
There's your answer, general.
Very well, Mr. Effort, if that's how you feel about it.
Mr. Hook, we'll return to camp.
A better strategy is needed for this situation. Larry, take my horse. Your attention, please. I have abandoned the idea of any frontal attack on the cabin. Tomorrow, we will attack from above.
Sounds like a job for an eagle. I already told you, I don't like whispers. But I do like action, and that occupant will get it. This morning, I carefully studied the outline of the canyon. I think a burning cart could be launched from the hill and crash into the cabin. As the cabin burns, the men will run out under their rifles. I'll cover the way.
I wonder how he plans to get that cart up the hill.
You're right about that, general.
Horses cannot pull it. The cart cannot fly. It's incredibly simple. Instead of horses, we'll let you men pull the cart up there. They will dismantle the cart piece by piece and distribute the parts among you so that the load is equitable. Understood? Tomorrow they will climb the hill with their respective loads. At the top, they will reassemble it like a cart and await further instructions. Any questions?
It's a difficult climb. A man could break his leg.
Likewise, a horse.
I'm sure you know what happens to a horse with a broken leg.
Keep that in mind. All of you.
Let's start taking apart a cart.
I didn't hire myself as a pack mule.
I think Hook is going as crazy as Avery.
Okay, let's go. What are you waiting for?
Perhaps we expected you to defend our rights.
I have nothing to do with that.
I receive orders just like you, and I get paid triple for it. You're not doing this for love, Hook, and we know it.
And neither are you. They're being paid very well. Anyway, they have no other option. They will continue doing what they are told until the job is finished. And I won't have to force them. I won't even have to pull out a gun. And do you know why? Because he's going to shoot the first man who quits from where he's sitting inside that store. Okay, let's go.
Let's get started.
Don't be silly. Don't you see what Abram is doing? He wants them killed. They won't believe for a moment that they'll live to spend that money, will they?
If we get water, yes.
No, they won't. Because that madman wants these lands for himself, and everyone will die trying to get them. They 're already dead. All of you.
Sometimes even fools speak the truth. Has anyone ever shot you in the back, Hook?
No, not yet.
No, but I think I know what you mean.
It's time to get rid of those ivory pistols, my friend. Yes, a brave man could kill him.
If only I were as brave as you.
Oh, not me. But I think I have the right man for the job.
Who? Ketering. Are you kidding.
That painter. He doesn't know it yet. But before the night is over, he will be the bravest man in the camp. Are you going to paint Avery's portrait tonight? Tell him that now that he's a general, he really does look like one. Make him feel good. I don't understand.
Well, you don't have to. Just sit him at the table, put a lamp in front of him, so that his shadow is projected on the wall.
And you'll be outside shooting at that shadow. No, not me. I will not be an accomplice to murder.
One death instead of many, including yours. Think about it carefully. Either way, you don't have a choice, do you? You're surprised, Mr. Ketering. Is there anyone else in the company besides you who knows how to draw? You can't expect me to draw it, Mr. Ketering, if you don't stay still. Why is he so nervous? It makes his shadow move. How long has it been since you were in London, Mr. Ketering?
Oh, I'm surprised. The English tend to like to talk about England.
Tell me about Nottingham Cathedral, Mr. Ketering, and Westminster Abbey. where the kings are buried. Any final orders, General?
Just one. Lower your weapon belts. Were you the architect of this plan to assassinate me, Mr. Hook? I was. Because? We don't want to fight Everett anymore. We want to leave it.
He's a fool, isn't he, Mr. Hook?
Yes, I'm a fool.
And as for you, Cooper, look, water.
It's a shame he was so careless with his shots. He won't want to die of thirst. Make tomorrow's attack a success. Take your mistake with you. Mr. Hook, I want to talk to you. I don't regret for a moment having made him my assistant. He will be a good and loyal man, even if it costs him his life. Just stop thinking, Mr. Hook. It's not good for that. Out. This artillery sometimes arrives a little late. Let's hope it works.
We need a couple of short posts to prop this up. Look what you can find in the shed, Albby. Yes sir. How's it going?
I'll need more than I have to make this work. I never thought I'd help shoot something like this.
You've changed.
You can only run away so far. There comes a time when you have to stop and ask yourself why you are running away.
I guess it was because my husband did it. That reason no longer exists.
And that gives you a feeling of being lost. I'm sorry.
No, I didn't mean that. Running away was bad, but it was a habit. And I'm glad it broke. It's just that I have to find myself again. That 's all.
You can do it, if I could.
You mean the letters, right? The letters are part of it. You loved her. I'm sure of that.
Yes, I suppose so. The problem was that she didn't love the land or the life I chose for us.
You could be very stubborn about the land.
If you love me, you love my land. I think it's quite simple. You can't compromise on those things. Do you ever compromise? I do n't believe in half measures. All or nothing. Even if that means fighting alone. You are not alone. That's all I could find, Mr. Ever.
Okay, Albby.
Take that wheel and bring it here. Hey, Hookie. When the cart reaches the top, will I be able to lie down in it?
Clear. Then we'll set it on fire.
Move. Come back. Mary. Okay, let 's review the attack plan.
You start talking like the general.
It's a fact. Will you shut up and understand this properly, Barry? You will fire a shot, which will mean you are ready. The general will respond with a shot, which means they should drop the cart. Ramos and I will join him to help cover the passage.
He didn't say... he said it to me, not to you. I'm his assistant, remember?
Now, when the cart falls, I want you to cover the side of the cabin.
Understood?
I understand everything, except for the general down there with our gold. What did you want to do? Carry it up here with you?
Come on, go on. Let's assemble this cart.
Come on. Not now. No.
They have a cart up there. A cart. What are they going to do with her?
Throw it at us. Come on. Let's unsettle them a little. Stay down.
Get out. Both. They have the reach.
Alright, let's get back to work.
Keep your weapons where they are.
Perhaps we'll need them again. Can't you fix it?
Things are going to get really difficult when that cart crashes down here. You'd better leave while you still can. Where to?
Through the passage. They have better opportunities by staying here. I'll cover them. Are you going to give up?
No, but you do. I have no right to expose them to what's coming.
I thought I told you that I had finished running away. You proved it, Hannah. And if there were an opportunity, I would say they should stay.
But this has nothing to do with you anymore. Take Albi and leave quickly. I once said that you judged people badly. Well, you still do.
You forgot that there are no half-baked adventures. I'll come back and fix that contraption of yours.
They are aligning the cart.
All or nothing. Let's get to work. Okay, let's bring the box from the cart over here. Come on, move it. What do you and I get out of this? How many times do I have to tell you? When the wagon is lit and the one-man army comes out of the way, we'll go to Claremont with all the gold. We ca n't get to Claremont without water.
Not a chance.
We will have water. It turns out I know the general still has something.
If you had a right hand, Boogie, I'd shake it. Now the bombing, we...Hey, back off. Both.
Stay downstairs. Come on. It's very far away. He fell behind him. Wait. Heat.
Heat. I need to drink something on the way. They will never succeed. They have no water. What was the general shouting? He said we'll never achieve it without water. A court-martial, Mr. Ramos and Mr. Hook.
Hang them before the firing squad. Choose one. There is no other way, Mr. Hook. Heat. Heat. I am forced to...I am forced to surrender to you, Captain. Are you going to shoot him, Mr. Ever? Why waste the bullet? Captain Everett.
Yes, I'm Cory Everett.
I am glad that you have a rank worthy of accepting my sword. Where are your troops, captain? I demand, sir, as a matter of military courtesy, that you allow me to surrender to your troops. There are no troops, sir. I am with a woman and a child.
It's a lie. It has troops, grenades, artillery. As a defeated commander, I ask to see everything. That's the man who interrogated me. I do n't like whispers.
It was a brilliant strategy, Captain.
But he had the advantage of the terrain.
He had better disciplined troops.
Troops.
This is all my strength.
No. No. He's lying. I mean... I'm saying there were only three of us. A woman, a child, and me.
