Queen of Swords

While Helm takes the battle up again with Latham, Tessa swipes the Colonel's sword and knocks him flat on his cachongas.

Helm doing his lithe and lovely... nubile as a mountain goat and... finally has Latham on his back.

Then follows a dramatic moment with Latham goading Helm to give into his old instincts and kill him, and Helm fighting with himself not to. He finally gets control of himself and knocks Latham out.
Glancing up, he sees...
...that Tessa has been just as wrapped in the ethical dilemma as Helm himself.

Unencumbered by such petty considerations, Montoya brushes off his cachongas and... picks up Latham's dropped bow, and draws a bead on the Queen. No, Luis, I don't think so.
Are you completely mad, Roberto?
You sold me out, Montoya, you sorry son of jackal!

Ah, I see you knew my father. No, Helm there has been a mistake, and if you would just point that really nifty sword at the woman behind me... And which women would that be, Luis? Out of nowhere, Latham charges Helm, screaming.
Vengeance personified.

Helm freaks.
Montoya fires.
That was cold, Luis.
I'll take it up with the ethics committee in the morning, Roberto.
You're a complicated man, Luis.
Not really. Assassins like him are a centavo a dozen, but where would I find another doctor?
Or another horse, Helm points towards the ridge...

...where Tessa waves back, riding Montoya's horse and leading Latham's.
That's my horse! Montoya squeals.
"The Gods they mock Montoya!" Luis moans. "You know, Roberto, sometimes I am just too virtu0us for my own good." Walking the long way back to town...
"You know, Luis, I don't think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship."
