I agree with Rocky. The implication was that Ben Wade would escape (calling horse, said he escaped from Yuma twice). When Wade is choking Bale's character to death, and Bale explains why isn't trying to be a hero, Wade decides to play the part.
Also, it was clear that Wade was willing to die at the hands of Bale's son. And the critical moment is when Wade's son chooses not to kill him. Thereby fulfilling the very thing that Bale's character died for--that his son would be a good man and make the moral choice and follow in his footsteps.

I too re-watched it this weekend. The last scene in the hotel room when Bale says he's continuing on, despite everyone one else bailing, makes the movie.
