The Fugitive Page #2

They want you to die,

these priests, not live!

They preach against the revolution,

because we want you to live, not die.

Where's the priest?

Point him out.

There's a reward of 1,000 pesos.

Point him out.

Why don't you trust me?

I'll find this priest. You know why?

Because we're taking hostages.

And if you don't give up the priest,

we'll shoot the hostages.

Can't you see I'm one of you?

I'm doing this for your own good.

This priest is a coward.

If he were half the man you think he is,

he would have

given himself up to save you.

Is it worth dying for a man like this?

Why don't you trust me?

Give him up.

I don't want to see any of you die.

You're my own people.

Can't you understand?

I want to give you everything.

All right, I'll take you.

- No! No!

- Tally-ho!

No.

- Excellency, take me.

- Why should I take you?

He has a family. They need him.

I'm no good, Excellency. Take me.

If you're no good as a man,

you're no good as a hostage.

What will you do now, Father?

I'll go to Puerto Grande.

Sell the mule.

Take a boat,

get out of the country.

It's better that I go, Maria Dolores.

I haven't been a good priest.

I don't understand, Father.

I'm afraid I don't understand myself.

Be careful of the police, Father.

Oh, what a fine mule.

A beautiful mule.

You must be rich.

You come a long way, yes?

- How far is it to Puerto Grande?

- Oh, two, three days.

With a mule like that,

maybe one day.

Why you want to go

to Puerto Grande?

I have business there.

What a beautiful bag.

What do you have in the bag?

Jewels? Money?

A pistol, maybe?

- Who is that man?

- The Gringo.

Very brave man. He held up

a gringo bank, stole 100 dollars,

killed two or three people.

Very brave.

Who put that up there?

Why, the police, of course.

That's their business.

- How long ago were they here?

- Oh, two or three days.

Don't worry, they won't come back.

You think I'm worried?

Why do you ask about the police?

I'm sorry if I offended you

about the police.

Don't go. Stay here, it's better.

The river, it's nice.

It's too hot to travel.

- Ah, you went so fast you almost lost me.

- What do you want?

I'm going to Puerto Grande too,

on business.

It's more safe to travel together.

Me, I can protect you.

- You wouldn't refuse me, would you, sir?

- Why do you call me "sir"?

Oh, I can see you're an educated man.

But you are tired.

There's a place down here we can stop

and you can sleep.

- I'm in a hurry.

- Why are you in a hurry?

It's not good to be in a hurry.

It's dangerous to travel at night.

Gringos - wild animals, snakes,

they eat you up.

- They never touch me because I'm poor.
