Hay Road Page #3

Synopsis: This is the story of a man who after living over ten years isolated away from his country, returns to avenge His brother's death. Inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, he is translating 'Civil Disobedience' into Portuguese. The action is set between 1908 and 1910, between the assassination of the Portuguese King and Prince and the creation of the Portuguese Republic, an era where anarchists who fight against the monarchy often cross the path of burglars. On a country where corruption is set, the state representatives try to rob, arrest and kill innocents. The main character faces the tyranny of the state and tries to save the rest of his family. But this is a country where nothing changes.

That's a matter for Justice to decide.

In the meantime, I've orders to arrest you.

What about my sheep?

How do you know those sheep are yours?

My brother was murdered

and most of our sheep were stolen

back in the Autumn.

You know that much, for sure.

And this gentleman's sheep had our brand.

We'll look into the sheep issue.

But you shall not leave here.

And don't worry too much

I've heard that Don Fernandes

has already sent

two of his labourers to fetch them.

Give me your gun.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Amrico.

Alberto Carneiro.

Alberto Carneiro?

I'm a shepherd.

Eh?

I'm translating a book into my language.

So it can be read and taught here.

I don't understand.

You've got half an hour outside.

Step to it!

Don't come any closer!

Stay calm!

I only want a light.

Now clear off!

Relax!

It doesn't look too difficult

to break out of here.

So stay cool.

Good evening, gentleman.

Evening.

Are you ready?

We're going to escape.

Would you like to come with us?

No.

I'm only here for the night.

Can we have one of your guitar strings?

Is one enough?

That'll be more than enough.

Thanks.

Let's do it.

Don't worry. We're safe here.

They'll only find out

we passed this way tomorrow.

Take a rest.

It's better than freezing to death.

How could anyone

escape from a prison like that?

I don't know what to say.

I've no idea how it happened.

And to cap it all, you tell me that

you don't have enough men to catch him?

I don't.

They have to send them from HQ.

We've only got a few men here. And to

be honest, it's not a serious offence.

Besides, they won't get far together.

Let me tell you then.

I will catch him myself.

Have you seen a shepherd with a moustache

and a black man?

Up here in the hills

no one has passed through.

If you see them, turn them in.

Why are you after them?

No questions!

Alberto! Alberto!

I have to head upstream, Amrico.

I'll help you find your way soon.

But in the meantime, stick with me.

Come on!

Stop!

Put your hands up!

Put your damn hands up!

And to cap it all, they're armed.

Let's kill them. Let's kill them now.

Stay calm.

No one is killing anybody.

We'll take them to mother

and do whatever she tells us to.

To mother?

Mother doesn't need to know about this.

Stay calm, friends.

Stay calm?

We just want to go our way.

We didn't know this was anyone's land.

Shut your mouth!

Come on! Walk in front of us.

You hear me? Move it!

Walk ahead of me!

Damn it! Move!

Mummy...

We caught them.

Have them brought in.

Bring them in.

What are you doing here?

We're just passing through.

We mean no harm.

They came armed.

Show her his weapon.

Shut up!

Put those guns away.
