20.13: Purgatory Page #5

---

Sir, tell me what knife you want

and I'll get one...

Hey, wise guy!

The knife, the knife

you used to try to kill the prisoner.

I didn't do anything

to the prisoner, I swear!

If I'm lying I'll never see

my poor departed mother again...

Your poor mother?

Leave your poor mother in peace.

I mean it, Sir.

You trying to kid me?

If I were you,

I wouldn't try to play games, Maciel.

Don't you know the mess

you've got yourself into!?

I didn't kill anybody, I swear!

Okay, I confess I took a peek

inside the lockers, it's true...

But that's all, Sir...

I didn't kill anybody.

And while you were doing your things...

Who did you see around here?

Now that you mention it...

I saw Viegas.

You were smoking a cigarette,

next to the jeep.

I wasn't in the mood for parties.

Go on...

And Larga-Larga was here.

And Sergeant Ferreirinha came in

and almost discovered me.

So it was you, Sergeant Ferreirinha,

Viegas, and Toma-Toma.

- Larga-Larga, Sir.

- Exactly...

Seems like

the whole company was here?

Did you see anyone else?

Now that you mention it...

I also saw you...

In the jeep.

Keep going...

Sorry Leonor,

I should have another bottle there,

behind the cupboard.

Must be the last one.

Keep going...

Well Doctor,

has he said anything yet?

Who? Him... No. He just moans.

Which is not at all bad

under the circumstances.

Give me the saline, please.

My main worry now is Lito.

He's burning up in fever.

You know

who's been an enormous help?

Leonor.

She takes everything in her stride.

I wasn't aware

of your humanitarian bent.

People are full of surprises,

aren't they?

Leonor, if you like,

you can use Vicente's gown.

It's right behind you, Sir.

- Vicente still hasn't turned up?

- Vicente?

No. I haven't seen him for hours.

Things can't go on like this.

I'll go and look for him.

Leonor, take care of Lito, please.

Don't bother.

I wouldn't feel comfortable in it.

You know best...

- Have you seen Vicente?

- I don't know Doctor...

But he's not in there.

You can ask our Lieutenant.

That's not necessary...

My love?

My love?

- Now you're all mine.

- Get out of here!

No!

- You're all mine!

- Go!

Take the boxes down.

Look, you haven't seen Vicente,

have you?

No, Doctor.

- Why?

- Nothing.

Forget about it.

Just a little bit shy.

Lived in the dream

Of finding true love.

Because his heart Asked for...

Calm down! Calm down!

Shut up! Go to our room!

Go to our room, now!

Go!

"Then the LORD

rained down burning sulfur."

"Thus he overthrew those cities"

"and the entire plain,

including all those living in the cities."

There's nothing we can do...

Now try singing...

God damn it!

There's nothing we can do...

But, how was Vicente killed in here?

Where are the bullet holes

in the walls?

I haven't the faintest idea.

It must've been straight away

in the first attack.

He's still wearing

the clothes from the show...

It wasn't here.

It hasn't got anything to do

with any attack.

He wasn't killed here.

He was dragged inside.

Gaio!

Gaio!

- What?

- I found this in Vicente's hand.

I don't understand any of this.

You take a look.

"If a man lies with a man

as one lies with a woman,

"both of them have done what is

detestable. They must be put to death;"

"Their blood

will be on their own heads."

"Pedro's wife knows the secret."

Is it possible

to know what time Vicente died?

It is. If I do an autopsy.

But there's no way

I can do it in this sh*t hole.

And there's no way you can know

whether he died

before or after

the attack on the prisoner?

Look, the prisoner

didn't die because we found him

soon after the moment

he'd been knifed.

Vicente died several hours ago.

Anything else?

If a man lies with a man

as one lies with a woman,

both of them have done

what is detestable.

Their blood

will be on their own heads...

Do you understand anything of this?

I do... It comes from the book.

I have to confirm something.

What?

The Bible.

The message they left next to the

prisoner was a citation from Genesis.

It was that I came to tell you.

Shall we go?

I want to go there first.

I want to interrogate the prisoner.

Some people make a mess,

and others have to clean up after them.

Come on,

tell us who attacked you?

Listen. This has got nothing

to do with the war,

and no one can accuse you

of collaborating with us...

What did you see in the parade?

What did you see in?

Will he survive?

Does he stand a chance?

My problem is

I've only got one bottle of saline.

So I have to choose,

between him and him.

Give him an injection, doctor,

give him morphine!

Captain, I just gave him an injection.

If I give him another, it'll kill him.

Give him morphine,

at least that way he won't suffer.

Don't do that.

Doctor Venncio said that

another injection would kill him.

He could recover,

it wouldn't be the first time...

Life is a supreme gift.

We can't act as if we were God...

Who are you to say

what God wants or doesn't want?

You know where we are?

You know what we're doing here?

And you know what you're doing here?

This is war!

I know it's war!

And I know what I'm doing here!

I'm here because I belong here.

I'm here to celebrate life,

not celebrate death like you...

Bullshit. Bullshit, Father.

If you kill this man,

that'll make you an assassin.

Doesn't death disturb you?

The only thing that

really disturbs me in war, Father,

is not the dead, but the living.

Give him an injection doctor.

That's an order!

Why don't you

give him the injection, Sir?

What's the matter with our captain?

- Sod it. I'll get the ammo...

- Go!

Hurry up with that shift, Pinhal.

Hurry up, hurry up. Behind the smoke.

- Motherf***er... Fire! F***...

- Stop! Don't waste any more ammo.

It's not worth it.

We can't see a f***ing thing.

We can't see a thing!

We're sitting here "sewing" while

these bastards are laughing on us...

You shouldn't be complaining VCC,

you're here because you want to be.

You didn't use the escape route.

I've got a kid to rise,

do you understand? Do you understand?

And I'm beginning to get fed up

with this sh*t.

It's the last time

they'll catch me here.

The first message is in Genesis 19:24

and refers to the destruction

of Sodom and Gomorrah,

a punishment inflicted by God

for the dissolute customs

observed in those cities.

Now the second...

- Here it is! In Leviticus, I thought so...

- Show me.

Leviticus 20:
13. See the numbers here.

Chapter 20, verse 13.

Looks like we're going to have

a night of Bible readings.

Read it!

"If a man lies with a man

as one lies with a woman,"

"both of them have done

what is detestable."

"They must be put to death;

Their blood will be on their own heads..."

"If a man lies with a man..."

Where's the paper?

The one Vicente was holding?

"If a man lies with a man."

It's the same.

Exactly the same, except he omitted.

"If a man lies with a man

as one lies with a woman".

And added:

"Pedro's wife knows the secret".
