## Story

John, Doc, and Samuel make their way to the east side of Fortezza, while Kate goes to the west side of Fortezza; holding onto the horses to prepare for an escape. John explains the plan to his mates, telling them how he plans to infiltrate the fort and kill the three officers. After they have been dealt with, Sam would need to find a TNT barrel and blow up the front.

Just as planned, the John kills the officers and Sam blows up the door. Finally on the inside and most of the fortress silent, Doc unlocks Sanchez's prison cell and the four jump off the eastside of the fort.

Once all on horse back, Sanchez expresses his confusion and while he wanted to kill John, he'd rather listen to his reasoning for this wild goose chase. Cooper tells him that they are looking for El Diablo to which Sanchez's jests; he knew that it would be impossible to find him. John retorted by saying that with Sanchez's gang and his need for being framed by him would e enough to try. Although reluctant, Sanchez agreed.
