Mr. Hardin, you and the girl.

Who are you working for?

Up your ass!

(machine whining)

(Mark yelling)

(machine whining)

[Rebel] Laura!

(Laura gasping)

Let her rest!

- No, can't rest now.

I won't sleep for two days.

(panting)

I need some coffee.

(speaking foreign language)

[Woman] We thought

you had been killed,

along with Rodriguez.

Did they say, you

heard the news then?

It's been all over the radio,

since last night and today.

Coffee, Amiga.

Did they say how

Rodriguez was killed?

You did not see him get killed?

I didn't actually

see him get wounded.

Go down, I assumed

they weren't lying.

I know he was wounded.

I heard him screaming.

It's all over!

Years of struggle for nothing.

It means exile for us.

[Laura] It means nothing.

But how can you say...

It means nothing!

Rodriguez was a great man,

one man!

But his death cannot change

the course of this struggle.

He was only great in what

we could learn from him.

And this we learned.

It's starting all over again.

Then we start it all over again.

Hey, wait a minute, you can't

barge in my room like that.

Come with us!

Why, I... Now!

I didn't do anything!

Sir.

Where's Hardin?

I don't know.

What's this all about?

You lyin' whore.

(speaking foreign language)

(Sandra whimpering)

For the last time,

where's Mark Hardin?

Look, I don't know,

I just met the guy.

I don't know what you want from me.

Puta!

(gun clicking)

It gives me great pleasure

to get rid of you mettle some fools.

Please.

I don't know anything.

(Weeping)

No! (Weeping)

- Lookin' for me, amigos?

(gunshots booming)

Come on, get up, get

up, come on, get up!

Move, come on, go, move, get up!

(dramatic music)

You got me into this goddamn

mess, dammit, get me out!

Hey, I just saved your butt!

And if you listen to me, I can

get you outta here alive.

Great, this is

just friggin' great.

(telephone ringing)

Hello.

What?

Mark has escaped

with Sandra Spencer?

Well, you see that they don't!

I don't care what it

takes to get them back.

Put up road blocks everywhere.

Checkpoints.

Shoot them if you have to.

Halt!

Get down and stay down.

(soldiers shouting)

(gunshots booming)

(dramatic music)

(engine groaning)

Sh*t!

What?

We're out of gas.

Oh, great!

Am I gonna walk home

from this date?

There's nothin' I

can do about it.

We're just gonna have

to do the best we can.

Oh, the hell we will.

Look... How dare you
