Over rock, through towns, across rivers, the group is always just behind them. When they finally escape through sheer luck, Butch has another idea, "Let's go to Bolivia".

Bring the kids, why don't you?

Stick your heads in.

You're just going to

get yourself blown up

you don't open that door.

I can't do that. I work

for Mr. E.H. Harriman

of the Union Pacific Railroad. He...

Shut up about that E.H. Harriman stuff

and open up.

What's going on?

We got a patriot in there.

That's young Woodcock.

He's awful dedicated.

Woodcock?

Yes, sir.

You know who we are?

You're the Hole-In-The-Wall

Gang, Mr. Cassidy.

I understand that,

but Mr. E.H. Harriman

himself give me this job.

I got to do my best.

Your best don't include

getting yourself killed.

Dynamite's ready.

Mr. E.H. Harriman himself

had the confidence...

Open the door, or that's it.

You think E.H. Harriman

would get himself killed for you,

Woodcock?

I work for Mr. E.H. Harriman

of the Union Pacific Railroad,

and he entrusted me...

Hey, Woodcock.

Woodcock, you all right?

Hey.

Hmm?

Whatever Harriman's

paying you ain't enough.

There ain't what I'd call

a fortune in there, Butch.

Well, just so we come out ahead.

That's the main thing.

The

Hole-In-The-Wall Gang

The

Hole-In-The-Wall Gang

just robbed the Flyer

right outside of our town,

so that makes it our responsibility

to get out there and get after them.

You'll have to bring your own horses.

How many of you can bring your own guns?

How many of you will want

me to supply you with guns?

Well... come on now.

I think it's up to us to

do something, don't you?

What's the point?

They're probably halfway

to Hole-In-The-Wall

already.

That's exactly why we have got to hurry.

If we mount up right now

and get out there after them,

maybe we can head them off.

If we did that, they'd kill us.

We don't want to let

them get away with this.

Boy, I just eat this up with a spoon.

All right, youse two,

I want you at my party.

What party?

I'm losing my piano player.

He's going off to fight the war.

What war?

The war with the Spanish.

Remember the Maine.

Who can forget it?

I'm giving him a send-off. so come on.

Goodbye, Dolly

I must leave you...

When I was a kid,

I always thought I would grow up

to be a hero.

It's too late now.

Why'd you say something like that?

You didn't have to say

something like that.

You want me to go alone

and fight the

Hole-In-The-Wall Gang?

That's fine with me.

If you want your kids

to know you let me,

that's fine with me,

but I don't think that's what you want.

Is it?

Why don't we enlist,

go fight the Spanish?

You and me in the war.

We got a lot of things going for us...

experience, maturity, leadership.

I'll bet we end up officers.

I'd be Major Parker.

Parker?

Yeah. That's my real name.

Robert Leroy Parker.

No fooling?
