20.13: Purgatory Page #3

---

You should drink the whole bottle.

Who's there? Who's there?

If you don't show your face, I'll shoot.

If you want to shoot, shoot!

You'd be doing me a favor...

Hey man!

What're you doing here?

I loved her, but she didn't

give a damn about me, sergeant!

- Any news?

- No, Sir.

Everything in order?

Yes, Sir.

Okay, don't let those boys

get too excited with the game.

You never know...

Badagaio here, Lieutenant,

can't think about anything else...

He has already seen lights

out there in the brush, at least 10 times.

But there are no nights,

only sparks from his over-heated brain.

That's not true. I saw them.

Let them just dare...

Keep calm...

And now our companion Montemor

in a fine musical performance!

Friends!

The song that I'm going to sing tonight,

is like a present from our Zeca.

Girl with the sad eyes.

What makes you sob so?

The soldier doesn't return

From the other side of the sea.

Hey, thoughtful man.

Look at the pipe

As it becomes cold.

The soldier doesn't return

From the other side of the sea.

All together now.

Louder.

Bravo!

Friends! Friends!

The party's still isn't over.

We've got a big surprise in store for you.

You want to see what it is?

Yes.

I know who he is He's a good boy.

Just a little bit shy.

Who lived in the dream

Of finding true love.

Because his heart Asked for more.

More warmth.

She appeared.

And her beauty

lmmediately entranced him.

They loved one another

And now he says.

That he's attained

The greater good in life.

And is happy...

Thinks about her All the time.

Dreams about her All night long.

Cries for her

If she doesn't come.

Talks about her All the time.

She is always On his mind.

Without her He is nobody.

It's like Father Antonio Vieira said:

When Christ told his apostles

to preach to the world,

He said:
"Go and preach

to all Christendom..."

Keep calm, switch off the lights.

F***ing bastards!

Keep calm!

Save your ammo. Keep calm!

Esperana! Esperana!

Keep calm, for Christ's sake!

Calm down, save your ammo!

Go to the other side.

To the other shelter.

Go to the other shelter, quick.

The guys with the mortar,

sit down right now!

Get out of there, Badagaio!

F***, Badagaio! Get out of there!

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Tell them we're under fire,

you idiot, tell them we're under fire!

They already know, Sergeant,

they already know.

Stop shooting!

It's stopped! It's stopped!

Mortar, up here, now. Quick.

Domino, quick... The mortar.

Quick, for Chrissakes!

That side, Domino!

Fire on top of them, for f***'s sake!

- Come on, Domino.

- Correct your aim, Domino.

That's right.

Go on, higher, higher, higher.

Maybe we hit them...

It's stopped already! It's stopped!

Esperana! Esperana!

Hi, honey.

What are you doing now?

Having a bath.

Having a bath?

I just finished.

I don't know whether you noticed,

but we we've just been attacked!

Don't you think it's a pretty

weird time to have a bath?

Unless...

Unless you're in a real hurry.

Perhaps it was that intense...

The smell.

- What smell?

- What smell?!

The smell of all those men

you rubbed yourself up against.

As you wiggled your ass

in the canteen.

Happy as could be.

Did you learn all those tricks

with the nuns, huh?

Such a great performance.

Glad you liked it.

No, it disgusted me.

You're not a bit strange,

or anything, are you?

You and the n*gger.

What a fine pair you made.

Did you also rub yourself up

against him, afterwards?

O Vicente?

You don't have the faintest idea,

do you?

But me, I finally understand.

Now I know.

I know who he is He's a good boy.

Just a little bit shy.

No, no, no, he's a bad boy

Even a little bit shameless...

Cut that crap.

What were you saying. Huh?

It's a secret.

For the time being.

You're driving me crazy.

It's my fault.

I never should've brought you

to this sh*t hole.

Hey, do you know

where the Chaplain is?

He must still be giving mass...

Switch on the lights.

- Jesus, did you see that, Rafael?

- I didn't see anything. Did you?

I didn't see a thing,

you saw me with my rifle...

firm as a rock... firm as a rock.

I've never fired a shot in my life,

I'm even a little bit deaf in my right ear.

I'm also a bit deaf in my left ear.

You're deaf? If you're deaf,

how come you're hearing me now?

You're a real joker, just like your dad.

Not a chance.

No one fools with us.

Stop worrying about your own navel.

What's the matter with the kid?

God knows, he's thinking about his life.

- Time for some rest.

- Make the most of it.

Sh*t! Who's been

messing with my locker?

Don't you think it's a bit too strong?

No, Father, write the letter.

Just the way I'm telling you!

We're not going to start

the letter this way, Rosmaninho.

Why not? That's the way we address

these women where I'm from.

How do you want me to address her?

Know what? Maybe you're right.

Let's go!

How was the phrase?

Like this:

"Elvira, big whore..."

Go on write it!

And what did they say

from the Battalion headquarters?

They're as surprised as we are...

No one can remember an attack

on Christmas Eve.

It must be because of the prisoner...

Maybe he's a commanding

officer of the Frelimo.

They suggest that we

interrogate him as soon as possible...

Maybe he's got

some important information.

Maybe...

The problem is he won't say a thing...

That depends on the methods.

Not here, it doesn't.

We're here to protect the population.

At least that's what

the propaganda says...

I'm very sorry, Sir,

but we've got a problem in the barracks.

Seems like a rat has been in there...

One of the big ones...

If you don't need me any more, Sir...

I don't know how this got here, Sir...

When we arrived from the operation

today, it wasn't here, I guarantee you.

That bracelet belongs to VCC,

I remember it perfectly well.

He bought it God knows where,

he said it gave him luck.

And strike me dead,

if it isn't Avec's lighter.

Who's Avec?

Frenchy, they call him Avec

where I come from.

And it's made of gold,

he's always going on about the fact...

Who does that locker belong to?

It's mine, Sir.

- And the one next to it?

- It belongs to Domino.

In that case tell me something.

Why does this locker

have the number 2002?

The numbers are sequential,

if yours is 2012,

this one should be 2013, right?

That's Domino's doing, Sir.

He's crazy about lucky numbers

and wouldn't relax

until he swapped lockers with Dinis.

Dinis is the one who was sawn

in half in the party...

Ah, Dinis...

2002 used to belong to Dinis.

But he didn't want his

locker number to end in 13,

so he swapped his locker

with that one back there.

Which one?

That one, which didn't

belong to anyone...

That's not true. It belonged to

"Famalico", the one who lost his feet.

2013 is that one.

I don't remember what Dinis' number

was, but if you like I can go and see...

No, no, that's not necessary...

We have to find out who stole this.

It must've been the same crook
