Bandidas Page #2

Synopsis: In 1848, a New York bank wants to put a railroad across Mexico, so it buys up small banks around Santa Rita, Durango, and evicts farmers on the proposed rail line who owe money. The bank's henchman is the murderous Jackson. He runs afoul of two women, María, the tough but uneducated daughter of a farmer, and Sara, the European-educated daughter of the owner of one of these banks. To feed the now landless people and to seek revenge, María and Sara become bank robbers, veritable Robin Hoods. But Jackson and his hired guns are after them. What are the women's options?

what you're doing in my house.

Oh, so you are the daughter.

-Yes, I am the daughter. And you are?

-Maria Alvarez.

-Do you work for us, Maria Alvarez?

-No, I do not work for you.

-Then what are you doing here?

-I have business with your father.

-And what sort of business, may I ask?

-Private business.

Hey.

Hey, stop. Hey.

Maria.

Maria.

I knew it.

You help the gringos steal our land.

You betray your own people.

How dare you accuse me.

Get her out of here.

Have her arrested.

Traitor. Thief.

You're gonna pay for this.

I'm sorry.

They are stealing our land.

Don Diego is a traitor.

Don Diego is a traitor.

-The future.

-To the future.

Are you lost?

Mr. Alvarez, Pedro...

...you're delinquent

in your loan payments.

How can I pay when the interest

is more than I earn?

Says in this agreement

that if you're in arrears...

...we have the right to foreclose

and purchase this property for one peso.

Over my dead body.

No problem.

There's your receipt, Mr. Alvarez, Pedro.

Burn it.

You should have locked them up,

not me.

-They did not break into someone's house.

-No, they are doing worse.

You want my advice, Maria?

You should stop trying to change the world.

You want my advice, Gustavo?

You should start trying to change the world.

Eat.

The poultice that will help

your horse's hoof.

Thank you.

Now who's gonna be outside?

Keep an eye on her.

-What are you doing here?

-Hey, old man, read this.

-What's this?

-This is for you.

You haven't been making

your payments to the bank.

We have a right to foreclose.

I've given you everything you're gonna

get from me. Now get out.

Papa? Papa?

Papa.

Maria.

Papa. Papa?

Papa?

Somebody, please go get a doctor.

-What did you do to him?

-I didn't do anything.

-We were finishing the arrangements--

-You killed him.

You killed my father.

Seorita,

he's evidently had a heart attack.

No.

He was--

He was healthy.

You did something to him.

I know you did.

I know this is a terrible shock for you,

but you need to try and remain calm.

In fact, I think you need to sit down.

Grief is intense, I understand that.

But if you can,

let's review the situation calmly.

Your father's dead. Everything that

belonged to him is now mine.

In your mistaken belief

that I had something to do with it...

...you've attacked me.

You're trying to kill me.

My natural reaction is self-defense.

Before we can stop this,

I'll shoot you dead.

But it doesn't have to end that way.

Look at that, darling.

It's choosing time.

That's it.

Well, I guess we've got a deal.

If you don't mind,

I need to go to my room.

I must lie down.

This is all too much for me at once.

You understand?
