20.13: Purgatory Page #6

---

Where's the other one?

It's before, in Genesis.

Wait I'll show you.

Here. 19:
24.

"Thus he overthrew those cities

and the entire plain,

"including all those living in the cities

and also the vegetation in the land".

That's what's going to happen to us

if they keep on attacking...

I hope not.

And in violation of God's wishes,

"But Lot's wife looked back,

and she became a pillar of salt."

Perhaps the prisoner

saw something he shouldn't have

and that's why they tried to kill him.

Where does Pedro's wife fit in

amongst all this?

Perhaps she...

Also knows who attacked them...

And who's Pedro?

What?

We have to read the Bible again?

Come on...

I have no time for Sunday school, again.

Come in!

- Sir, you asked for me?

- I did.

Tell me something.

Do you know whether any of our soldiers

goes by the name of Pedro?

- No, I don't.

- Listen.

In relation to Vicente,

did you ever hear a story, anything...

with other men.

Not as far as I know.

I don't know anything about that, Sir.

Okay.

Go and tell Sergeant Ferreirinha

to bring me a list

with all the names of the soldiers.

And ask him to come

to meet me into the barracks.

Let's see

if we can discover our Pedro.

And Pedro's wife

who "keeps a secret".

Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea

if we went and had a look

in Vicente's locker.

Anyone who wrote these things

is clearly someone

who is very familiar with the Bible...

In particular Genesis and Leviticus

which was a kind of code of conduct

for the Jews.

The penalties were severe

because the crimes

were considered to be very serious.

Everything okay up there?

Yes, Sir.

Such as homosexuality...

Ultimately it was a question

of a sacred code, a divine regulation.

Right.

One thing we're not short of

in the Army is regulations.

They're indispensable,

because of human imperfection.

- Can't you open it?

- Sh*t...

What do you think you're doing?

Who gave authorization

to open the lockers?

I'm talking with you Gaio!

I'm only obeying orders.

Didn't you tell me

that unless we discovered

what was going on

we'd be in deep sh*t?

If you think it's strictly necessary,

continue.

Let me try, Sir.

Here are the lists, Sir.

There are at least three Pedros:

Pedro, Jos Pedro and Carlos Pedro.

Carlos Pedro isn't here, he belongs

to Lieutenant Santana's platoon,

which is on patrol.

Jos Pedro is Badagaio.

And Pedro... Pedro must be Frenchy.

Bring both of them here!

Empty...

What were you expecting to find inside?

The Ark of the Covenant?

I don't know, It was a hunch...

I made a mistake.

Calm down!

Sir, here are the two Pedros.

What's your name?

Jos Pedro, Sir.

But everyone calls me Badagaio.

As far as I'm concerned,

I prefer Jos Pedro.

- Okay. Are you married?

- No Sir.

But do you live with anyone?

Do you have a girlfriend?

No Sir, o tell you the truth

I don't have a girlfriend.

- War godmother?

- No, Sir.

Fine,

you can return to your shelter.

And you, you're Pedro what?

Pedro Rodrigues.

But everyone calls you Frenchy, right?

May my Lieutenant know

that to be the case.

Are you married?

May my Lieutenant know

that to be the case.

Tell me something...

Did you know Vicente well?

- Vicente?

- Yes, did you know Vicente!

May my Lieutenant know

that to be the case.

Look, cut the "may my Lieutenant know"

business? Okay?

Just say yes or no.

What's your wife's name?

- Alice. Her name's Alice.

- Alice.

And did your Alice know Vicente?

My Alice?

No, my Alice didn't know Vicente.

How could she?

Okay. Go on. Get going!

Let's get out of here!

What?

Nothing...

Look, what was that verse

from Genesis, again?

Genesis, chapter 19, verse 24.

19:
24.

And the other one?

Leviticus 20:
13.

Close the door!

"Forever."

Look...

That's the Captain's knife...

- How do you know?

- Because of the marks.

- And the captain, Sir?

- When the time comes.

Come here. Sir!

Come here, quickly!

- The ammo never arrives. F***!

- Why isn't the mortar firing?

There's one, there's one. F***.

The trigger's broken,

Lieutenant,

what's worse

is we're running out of ammo.

Fire, Fire.

- Did you send someone to the armory?

- I did, Sir.

And he's taking forever to bring the

ammo. Sons of b*tches!

Sod it!

Get out of there. Over this side.

Get out of there. Son of b*tches.

Who was in that shelter?

Careful.

Let's go!

The first shelter's been blasted.

They're advancing

and we've already lost three men.

Go Badagaio! Go Badagaio!

I'll take this sh*t.

We have to send someone over there,

otherwise the door will remain open.

- I'm going to call Passos.

- Go! Go!

Passos! Passos!

Badagaio, Sir. Badagaio.

Wait here Passebite,

hold on and I'll help you. Wait here...

Get me two men

to take it to the shelter, quick.

You two, the first pair: The barrels.

The second pair... Not you... You...

Couceiro? To your post...

Back to your post.

Couceiro, you two, the second pair:

To the back of the trench.

Leave when I give the signal.

- Any questions?

- None.

Couceiro, go round the armory

and fetch another mortar.

Before the whole thing is blown

to smithereens.

Someone help me for f***'s sake!

F***! Help me!

Badagaio, take cover.

Careful. Badagaio, get out of there.

Badagaio!

F***!

As if the bombs weren't enough...

They're getting closer and closer.

Go!

Hurry up Z!

Hurry up! Z! Z, leave that.

Leave it! Leave it!

- Z, Z!

- Where are you going?

I was the one who ordered

those two men to go over there.

You stay here!

- Is that an order?

- It is.

Z, my little soul brother!

- Now we're going home right?

- We are.

- Now we're going home.

- Passos! Passos!

Go!

Passos!

- Viegas, VCC!

- Yes, Sir.

The bazooka?

- Call him.

- Frenchy! Frenchy!

Cover us.

I'll get the MG

and one of you go to Pizarro.

VCC, leave it. Let's get going.

We'll attract their fire here.

Put the MG here.

- Don't you want to open your present?

- Only you!

That's right. Only me.

It's the model the astronauts used

on their journey to the moon!

Do you like it?

It's beautiful! Thank you!

I'd like to give you

something in return,

but since you turned up by surprise,

unfortunately,

I don't have any presents for you.

You could give me a kiss!

If that's not too much to ask for!

No!

You have no idea

of what I'm capable of doing for you!

I do!

Hurry up...

Well?

Our Major of Operations

says that it's impossible

and our Colonel will only allow

the helicopters to leave at dawn.

At dawn, at dawn...

And where will we be, at dawn?

I've already made my decision,

Ferreirinha,

we're going to cross the border

and destroy the enemy's cannon.

Lieutenant Gaio will be in command,

during my absence...

It's calmed down...

- Looks like you shut them up, VCC.

- Looks like...

But maybe they're just waiting

to take us unaware.

We have to stop

that cannon once and for all.

Lieutenant Gaio is right.

A group of us has to leave from

the east side, the part that isn't mined,

cut the barbed wire, cross the border
