The Man from the Alamo Page #5

What's wrong with that?

- Nothing.

Maybe that answers something

I've been wondering about you.

You said you wanted

to get out of here.

I don't see any future in stayin'.

You ever hear of Jess Wade?

What about him?

He don't like Texans. - What I hear,

they don't like him, either.

That gives you something in common.

He's paying Franklin a visit,

soon as those wagons and soldiers are

gone. - What's that got to do with me?

We could always use another man.

- Maybe Wade won't see it that way.

You'll soon find out. How about it?

I don't owe Texas anything.

You can count me in.

All set? Alright, let's move out.

You want somebody to spell you, Ma?

You've been up here quite a while.

No thanks, Tom.

Go back and help those that need it.

Fred and I get along fine.

Hi, honey! - Hi.

- How are the kids behavin'?

They're so excited, they're

going to be pretty hard to handle.

Oaddy, are we going to see Indians?

- I hope not. - But I want to!

Now you just mind

what your mother tells you.

He'll be alright, Carlos.

- He won't be alright!

They will hang him now. I left him

when he needs me. - That was his wish.

I could have told them

why he left the Alamo,

to help his family and others.

The only reason he came to Franklin

was to find a place for me.

Then he was going back to the Alamo.

He said that. - And you believe him?

He meant to go back. I swear it! You

believe me, Miss Beth? I do not lie.

You will tell the others,

tell them he is not a coward.

I'm afraid it's a too late for that.

There go the soldier boys.

- You sure they got Oawes in jail?

They weren't taking him to church.

- Well, stay out of saloons in future.

We only had a couple.

- Couple of gallons.

We'll head for the bank.

The rest of them can break Oawes out.

This won't hold the Mexican army.

- It'll hold for a while.

You wanna run and leave them the town?

- Why not, there's nothing left.

And while we're fighting,

that deserter's nice and snug in jail.

Why don't we string him up?

- Now hold on! Wait a minute.

What for? If we're gonna get shot at,

he can stretch. - Let's hang him!

Hold on now! - Hey, Jim, shoot twice

if you see any Mexicans.

Stop or I'll shoot!

- Go ahead and shoot!

Looks like we have visitors.

- Maybe it's Wade.

No, it's not Wade. - Who is it, then?

- It's a lynching party for me.

Alright, Stroud,

we got a nice new necktie for you.

Come on!

- Get him out of there!

Here's a rope!

It's a raid!

- Take cover boys!

Which side are you on?

- Here!

Ain't no gold in that bank! - They

cleaned it out. - Get to your horses!

Cobby! Open up this barricade!

Thanks!

Where'd you come from? - Town.

- Why'd you leave?
