For Whom the Bell Tolls Page #15

Synopsis: Spain in the 1930s is the place to be for a man of action like Robert Jordan. There is a civil war going on and Jordan who has joined up on the side that appeals most to idealists of that era -- like Ernest Hemingway and his friends -- has been given a high-risk assignment up in the mountains. He awaits the right time to blow up a bridge in a cave. Pilar, who is in charge there, has an ability to foretell the future. And so that night she encourages Maria, a young girl ravaged by enemy soldiers, to join Jordan who has decided to spend the night under the stars.

I agree, sir.

- Very well, the sniper stays here.

I'll take care of him later.

You and I will go to the top.

Not me. - What? - I will go

if you order me. But under protest.

No, I'll go alone. The smell

of cowardice is too strong here.

Assassins! Cowards!

Shoot me! Kill me!

Can you hear me coming?

No, you can't hear me coming.

You think I'm a coward

like the others? Shoot me!

Kill me!

- "Shoot me! Kill me!"

Cowards!

- Look at him coming.

Scum of the earth! - What an animal!

- Shoot me if you are alive!

Look at him stride.

- Bandidos! - This one is for me.

Do you hear me? - This one

we take with us. - No, you don't hear.

Keep walking.

- Cowards!

Look at the stars. He's a captain.

Stick out your chest, little captain.

I will kill you with a bullet!

- Don't stop. Don't be late, captain.

You vermin!

- A long voyage...

Fire! Cowards!

If you are alive! Come on.

Now comrade voyager, close enough.

Come on, voyager.

Can you hear me coming?

No, you can't hear me coming.

I am coming.

"Kill me! Shoot me!"

Joaqun!

Quick!

A little higher!

Pilar!

Pilar!

Hola, Pilar.

- Hola.

Salud, Roberto.

- Salud.

Salud, Pilar.

Look at him. Already at the wine!

Did you come back for us, or the wine?

- Both.

He came back for his horses.

Much riding, Ingls. I couldn't turn

back till the snow has melted.

Didn't you run into the cavalry?

- A good horse, the new one.

I took to high ground

and came back through the hills.

No food, Pilar? Where have you been?

- Guarding the pass below.

We had to wait

until there was no more cavalry.

Ingls!

Ingls! I was with El Sordo.

You were in the fight?

- No.

On my way back here...

It was dark and I went up the hill.

Five dead at the top.

They'd taken their heads.

Joaqun too?

No heads...

- Now let the fighting come.

No heads.

- Ingls!

Anselmo says there is

much movement across the bridge.

I was just leaving the lookout

when it started. - What?

Guns, trucks, armored cars,

even tanks. - Tanks?

Everything moving up toward the front.

I marked it all down.

I waited till the second column had

crossed. - Anything more coming?

Yes, I could hear another column

as I came up through the pass.

Should I go back? - Not now.

Were these trucks full of soldiers?

Yes. What does it mean?

They know the Republic is going

to attack when the sun rises.

Yes, now they know.

They move up to meet our offensive.

Who knows the way through to the

Republicans? - I do.

I need you at the bridge. Who else?

- I know it.

Have you been through before? - Twice.

- 8 hours, nearly 9 hours.

Can you make it to Navacerrada?

- I can try.

I could do it in less time, with luck
