Hay Road Page #2

I've come to fetch the flock.

We've been waiting for someone

for the past few weeks.

Are these the only ones left?

These and some others

scattered about here and there.

They didn't take them all

because they can't hide them.

And things left unhidden

may soon be found.

Careful! There are things

that one would rather not find out.

The agreement is four sheep per hundred

for you, right?

That's what was agreed.

So it's ten animals then.

Nine and a half is no good to anybody.

Right?

Thanks.

Take the ones you want.

What I'd like to do

is come back for them tomorrow.

I'm going to try and find the rest.

It's a deal.

I've waited for this long,

I might as well wait another day, eh?

Thanks very much.

Sit down.

Come and eat with us.

You look famished.

Thanks.

Don't be scared.

We don't hurt hungry people.

Our issues are with the authorities.

Discontent is everywhere.

Yet the king is proclaimed

as a great saviour wherever he goes.

Dog of Hell!

We should do the same to him

as we did to his brother and father.

What are you doing around these parts?

I've been abroad for a few years.

Things were very different when I left.

Now I'm back because bandits

killed my brother. He was a shepherd.

So I'm here to settle the score.

Do you know who did it?

He was passing by Pimenta's land.

I was hoping you might know who did it.

Put it down!

It wasn't us. Put it down!

The only argument we have is with

the King and his men.

I'm sorry for having taken you for bandits.

Apologies accepted.

And don't worry, Pimenta's men

won't come anywhere near here.

Some of the village's sheep

are grazing over near Marvo.

The only problem there is the King's men.

We're heading that way.

We can help you, if you want.

Sometimes a man on his own goes further

than a whole battalion.

And you've got your own fight.

I've got mine.

Thanks very much though.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Which way is town?

That way.

What about the Hanged Man's Field?

Is it in the same direction?

Yes. It's that way, too.

Thank you very much.

Take it easy, my friend.

What do you want?

I'm not here to cause trouble.

Who do these sheep belong to?

They're mine.

And yet they have different brandings...

Let's sort out who these sheep

really belong to.

You're going to come with me

and clarify that.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

So what brings you here?

I've come to tell you

I've found a meadow with stolen sheep,

just a few kilometers from here.

Some of them are mine...

And you are?

Alberto Carneiro, mountain shepherd.

Aren't you the one who

wounded Captain Bacelo?

That was in selfdefence. He tried

to rob me in the name of the State.
