The other 39 rebels

watched her die...

...and did nothing.

Just watched.

What were Americans

doing in a Mexican revolution?

Maybe there's only one revolution,

since the beginning.

The good guys against the bad guys.

The question is:

Who are the good guys?

- Juanito, to the north and south, okay?

- Got it.

About 60 horses, four burros.

Two machine guns from the train.

Jake.

Keep those horses quiet.

Get some more from the other side.

Hurry.

You rode well today, honey.

Perfectly.

Beautiful.

- That Mrs. Grant?

- That is a soldier.

Lieutenant Si Si Chiquita.

Now, there's a woman worth a ransom.

She never says no.

Before you blow a gasket,

think you can blow the water tower?

- How do you want it?

- Like it was hit with a French 75.

Mrs. Grant could be there.

- Seems the only likely place.

- The trouble is, we gotta be dead sure.

When we make our move,

there won't be time for guessing.

Coming through the gate.

- Morning. How's the wife and kids?

- Very good, very good.

Wow, there's a lot of you here.

Anybody see any cows?

No.

It's a cinch that milk didn't

come from the breast of a tin can.

Our friend, the goat-keeper.

Good morning, sir.

- What is your name?

- Eduardo Padillia, at your service.

Do you recognise this?

Friends of Mr. Ortega.

That's right.

The milk that you brought

to the hacienda this morning...

Who was that for?

- Who drinks it?

- Many people.

Anybody special?

The lady. Senora Grant.

She live in that room? You're sure?

- You have seen her?

- I know her from when she was born.

Her mother was dry. She was raised

on the milk of my goats.

- Is she well?

- Very well, considering.

We have come to help her.

Blessed be the Lord.

May God repay you. May God...

Raza has to expect one of two things:

A messenger with a ransom...

...or an attack from the federales.

We've gotta make him think

we're the Mexican army.

- The four of us?

- A whole battalion.

Now, how do the federales

start an attack? Artillery.

This is our battery of field guns.

First you hit him here. French 75s.

Then here, here, here.

Carefully avoiding Mrs. Grant.

- When they run to defend the...

- We rescue Little Red Riding Hood.

We can't fight our way in.

Diversion is our only chance.

Well?

Rico, buddy, I got one of my feelings.

Something's dicey about this.

Let's pull out.

If you can deliver this dynamite

with split-second timing...

...we can pull this job off.

Mr. D?

I guess we just gotta get lucky.

Jacob, this stick of dynamite

weighs exactly four ounces.

If you taped that to an arrow,

how far could you shoot it?

And hit the mark.

I don't like it.

- We get it wrong?

- Relax.

The stuff you're handling is safe.
