I think for the slightly guilt-ridden Pike who left his fellow Dick to escape on his own, this might just be a small incentive for himself to finally go on a killing spree.
Judging from the behavior of Pike decisively abandoning his accomplices three times, he seems like a carnivore who only cares about his own life. However, this Angel, some of his views on his hometown, I think it made Pike's eyes shine - being a bandit has something he insists on. Angel's name also means angel, "what do you want? / we want angel." It's a perfect match. Pike is looking for something he insists on. The "lawless" laughter of the Pike gang or the Mexicans is shown from time to time in the film, which is the most realistic portrayal of their unruly behavior. Even when they return to Mexico to see "The General" abusing Angie in his car, Pike can still get over that little question in his heart - I'm going to save this Mexican. The former gang was only together for survival, until Pike slept with the woman, he was full, and after obtaining material freedom and spiritual enjoyment, he slowly felt the real need and the release of his life. The phrase "Let's go." The background music suddenly dimmed, which made me have an incredible imagination and a brief sense of suffocation.
I think that even if the generals let Angel and Pike leave, Pike and the others will come up with another big thing. In their simple goals and pursuit of simple lives, their state seems to have reached such saturation. So much so that it takes life to release passion.
