I grow tired of this conversation.

We'll let you off.

And take a look and see what it is like ...

how our people are

forced to live.

Monsignor.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Monsignor.

I have an appointment with the

President-elect.

Yes, Monsignor.

I'm sorry, Monsignor,

but it's a pity --

The president-elect has been

detained.

I will wait.

The president-elect express

his sincere regrets ...

but he would have you, to call you

on your schedule appointment at

the earliest opportunity.

I will wait.

It maybe hours.

He's coming back?

Yes

Give him this.

Monsignor ...

Monsignor?

I'm afraid that President-elect

has not returned.

But he sent you this note.

Good night, Monsignor.

Good night.

NO POLITICAL:

PRISONERS.

Done what they said ...

exactly as they told me,

Hours,

and Hours ago and nowhere.

Waiting and waiting and nowhere.

I don't know.

There is nothing to do.

And we're waiting.

What else can we do?

There must be something else

we could do.

There should be words soon.

Soon?

`` How soon is soon ``?

I'm Sorry.

I'm glad you're here with me.

Of course I am here.

I heard things,

Monsignor.

What things?

That you are sympathetic

only to the poor.

Not only to the poor.

To radicals?

I must minister to everyone.

To the men who have taken

Rafael?

You're brave ...

But how could you think

that I wouldn't find out?

Why didn't you tell me?

This is my doing, Father.

We have done what they

have asked.

We've saved him ...

Haven't you?

He's going to be all right,

Isn't he?

They asked for political prisoners.

Perhaps you --

I could not do such thing.

If they harm him ...

it will be our turn.

Then there will be blood.

That can't help.

You're religious people ...

You live in your souls.

You do not understand what we do ...

producing, selling,

bringing dollars in...

Capital, to develop the country,

to create jobs ...

to build

a prosperous economy.

What's this have to do with Rafael?

That is what affects people.

But for that we must have

law and order.

These priest of yours ...

whith all their talk about justice

and human rights ...

organizing these people

convincing them that

they are God Almighty ...

They are responsible

for these problems.

And so you, Monsignor.

However ...

the Church is a whore.

she would spread her legs

to the highest bidder.

Bring him.

Bring him home.

You are a part of this.

Monsignor?

We're here to see

Father Alfonso Osuna.

Who?

He's not here.

I am Father Villez ...

and I would like to see Father Osuna.

Father Villez is the

Jesuit Provincial ...

I am the Archbishop Romero.

and we would like to see the Father.

Could we have a moment alone,
