The Legend of Ben Hall Page #2

from the Stricklands, they took care of us.

Well, then, Colonel, I'll leave you to it.

If you do see anything, make sure to...

They were just happening by.

They do that from time to time,

asking questions.

And what did you tell them, Mick?

Same as I always do:

that I haven't seen you,

not for years.

Do you know who's that Inspector?

Ernst Sanderson.

He's not such a bad sort.

I keep things friendly with him.

It's easier for us that way.

They know you're in the area, Ben

It's not safe for you here.

For any of us.

Jack!

What the hell are you doing here?

Looking for you, of course!

Knew I'd find you here

with Goobang Mick.

Does his missus still fancy you?

Keep your voice down!

What happened?

Thought you'd be halfway

back to Canada by now.

No, forget that...

went home to Victoria

for a while.

But I'm ready to come out again.

Had to...

Blew all my cash on cheap grogan

and cheaper tarts

It was glorious!

Heard they caught the old man

down on the river.

I did warn him.

Ah,the man was a

pain in the ass, anyway.

Christ, you look terrible!

You know that.

Compared to you, I always did.

This is true!

One cannot buy style, they said.

I'll tell ya, I'm just itching

to get back out there.

You know, one paper claimed I was dead

and that you were the bloke who shot me.

Now, I want them to

know that I'm alive

and... back on the job.

I think we should give it up.

Give it up?

Come on, Ben!

2 years, we rode together.

2 years and they couldn't touch us.

Place is getting hotter, Jack.

More than ever.

It's alright, Gilbert,

Sir Fred's got the Lochland by the

.balls and he's sqeezing tight.

Alright, so let's head south,

Auburn way.

keep clear out of the Lochland

We'd need to skip the country, Jack.

What?

And go where?

America.

Why the hell do you

want to go to America?

It's not part of the Empire.

They're fighting a bloody

Civil War over there.

And war is the perfect time

to slip in without a fuss!

To get passage, will cost us a small

fortune, Ben. You do know that?

So we need to

go ahead and get it.

Like I said:

we head south.

Hit the mailrooms,

we just bale them up!

One after the other,

bang, bang, bang!

Right, just the pair of us.

We'll find some more lads.

Cold, sly, kids with some real moxie.

Come on, Ben!

It's no fun playing

without you in the game.

We ride again, we do so

for one purpose:

to get out, to skip the country

for good. Are we clear?

Now, I'm up for that.

MM, Goobang, how's the wife?

There's some bread, bacon

and potatoes.

You're a sweetheart.

Thanks for everything, Mick.

You're always welcome.

Maam, always a pleasure.

So long, godday!

Just me, then.
