1:03:22
Capt. Thorpe has arrived, señor.
1:03:24
An inlet 10 miles west of Nombre de Dios.
1:03:29
So, for once they send me
an accurate report...
1:03:32
and on time.
1:03:34
Your orders, General?
1:03:35
You will leave with a small escort
for Nombre de Dios...
1:03:38
at sundown, as scheduled.
1:03:41
But the English will attack.
1:03:42
And you will offer no resistance.
1:03:45
Capt. Thorpe came a long way
for this gold.
1:03:48
We must not disappoint him.
1:03:50
Lieutenant, you have seen
the jungle orchid?
1:03:55
It is a very attractive flower...
1:03:58
that holds out its yellow pollen...
1:04:01
but once an insect is lured
within its petals...
1:04:06
they close like this.
1:04:21
We're on the right track, Captain.
1:04:22
I got it from a native.
They hate the Spanish worse than we do.
1:04:25
Near as I could figure his lingo...
1:04:27
the gold train leaves Ventacruz
at sundown...
1:04:29
- about 20 mules in all.
- How far is Ventacruz from here?
1:04:32
About 20 miles, Captain.
It'll take a mule train most of the night.
1:04:36
Good. Then we'll have time for some sleep
after we set up the ambush.
1:04:39
Spread out along this trail
at intervals of 10 yards.
1:04:41
Burke, I'm stationing you at the rear.
It's a very responsible position.
1:04:45
You'll signal on your whistle
when you see the last man and mule pass.
1:04:48
You all know what to do, men.
1:04:50
I'll stay at this point.
1:04:52
Mr. Pitt, you're across from me,
Mr. Scott, next place down the line.
1:04:55
Men, you better all pick out your nests
before dark.
