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.
1:05:05
It's too thick in there.
You can't see what's in it.
1:05:08
Full of snakes and crocodiles, I'll wager.
1:05:10
They say there's plants with arms like
that'll strangle a man if he ain't careful.
1:05:14
Stop that talk, or you'll be seeing ghosts
before you see Spaniards.
1:05:27
It's a funny thing about sailors, you know?
1:05:29
They don't mind a fight
if they can see what they're fighting.
1:05:32
But you take a mosquito, now...
1:05:35
What were you saying about mosquitoes?
1:05:38
There's a whole nest of them here.
1:05:40
The beasts have ears.
1:05:42
Try holding your breath, Mr. Pitt,
and then they won't trouble you.
1:05:55
- Better?
- No. I'd rather have the Spaniards.
1:05:57
Hold it longer.
