Aballay, el hombre sin miedo

Aballay, the man without fear

Come on, come on!

Dead One, let's go.

Come on!

- Dead One, let's go.

- Wait! I'm winning.

- Which one is yours?

- That one. Can't you see he's winning?

You lost. Let's go.

Are you staying here forever,

or are you coming with me?

OK, OK.

Come on, I want an answer!

I'm coming with you.

The enemy comes

at a gallop...

and moving in the wind...

their red flag.

And moving in the wind...

their red flag.

The enemy comes

at a gallop...

Get down! Hands up!

Easy...

Leave your gun there.

- Calm down...

- I'm OK.

Do I look nervous?

Do I look nervous?

Do you know what I do

when I get nervous?

Am I nervous?

I'm not, you bastard!

Where's the gold?

It's in the saddles, on the

horses.

There's nothing in the

stagecoach

Vargas! Pig! Go search the dead.

Let's see what you got here...

What are you looking for,

you ignorant gaucho?

I told you, there's nothing

there!

I'll show you how we,

ignorant people, sign.

Don't f***ing move!

Aballay!

Hey Aballay,

let's go, others are coming!

Go get the gold, Dead One!

TEN YEARS LATER:

Say it, come to me.

These cards I hold right now...

are almost shouting out...

for me to show off...

and "flor" and "truco" cry!

"Flor", you say?

Then I must call and raise...

"Contra-flor"! I win!

F***! I want to see them!

Here!

What's this f***in' saint

doing here?

If the Dead One gets you,

he'll cut your throat.

It's bad luck for me!

Sh*t!

Stupid gaucho!

They've burnt you, Saint...

Old, stupid gaucho...

Sh*t...

Sh*t! I can't find my "pingo"!

Pissed gaucho...

Torres! You pay what you owe!

Where are they?

Who?

Aballay, Pig, Dead One!

I don't know them.

At La Malaria.

But please don't kill me!

I'll work for you,

I'll do whatever you want!

I have seven kids.

Please, don't kill me, I'll!

So you're an orphan...

Good morning.

I heard you're looking for

workers.

The salary is meager.

Meager salary, a roof and food?

That will do.

Julian Erralde

Benavides, at your service.

- Where are you from?

- The city of Buenos Aires.

"Negro"! Come help the man.

Please, don't... It's OK.

Thanks.

Pig!

Good morning

Morales!

Morales!

Nice animals, Morales...

I'll take the four of them.

But after paying your taxes

and giving you some animals for free,

I need some cash.

I see, this is your job.

And how much for these animals?

They're strong, healthy, well-fed.

At least ten each.

- What the hell do you feed them?

- Boss!

What is it?

Torres's been killed.

And who killed him?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

Have you seen them?

- What, are you blind?

- I was drunk

So you were drunk!

You f***ing a**hole!

You were drunk?

Give the animals to him.

What about what we discussed?

Heads, you're dead.

Tails, you live.

Hope your lucky streak goes on.

Take him to Lopez's, you a**hole!

Mind the steps.

You'll be comfortable here.

This is La Malaria?

No, it's near here.

Across the river.

Why do they call you

by a man's name?

Careful.

What's your name?

My name is Juana. And yours?

Julian, and yours?

Juana...

And yours?

Oh, Saint who performs miracles

I know I shouldn't bother you.

You look after the Dead and the Living.

But Pauper, please,

I have no one else to turn to.

I'm calling out for you, asking you

to work a miracle

and help him stay alive

and safe from harm.

Atrue miracle,

like the captives faith.

Hi.

Come in, boy. Come in.

What are you looking for?

Bale wire.

I have something special.

This... It's just arrived...

Look at this. Look.

This fabric. Look.

This fabric is great.

The curtains you could make with it!

This is Jacquard. Look.

- I'll give you a discount.

- No. Wire. Bale wire.

Wire? Bale wire?

I have the best one here,

but it's sold.

But I'll get more. Tell me where

you live and I'll have it delivered.

At Don Benavides'.

Don Benavides? Sure.

You like scarves?

Take a look at this one.

It's cotton from India.

Take it, it'll make

a good present for a young lady.

- It's on the house.

- Thank you.

OK. But you know what, dear?

You can't wear those pants

any longer.

No, look at them...

Thank you.

You like it?

Yes

He's The Pauper, a local Saint.

Nobody knows where he lives,

but he keeps appearing.

Those who have seen him say

he's always on horse. He lives up there.

From there he's cured kids, they say.

He helps people.

He's very good.

He performs miracles.

Who carved it?

My godfather, from Cordoba.

He's a good person.

He lives near the river.

He used to live with Clarisa,

a friend of mine.

But she kicked him out because...

he drinks a lot.

And she got tired.

He's a devotee of the Saint,

so he makes lots of these...

Bigger ones, with a long beard,

short beard, another hat...

He has an altar and prays.

I'm also a devotee.

Kiss him, he'll bring you good luck.

- You're wrong, Boss.

- Why?

Why are you so happy?

It's an albino pig.

It's still a baby.

It's 20 days old, but...

It'll be white forever.

Does it have a name?

- Ramon. Do you like it?

- Yes.

Sounds nice. Ramon.

When I call it, it'll come.

- Juana...

- Yes?

Let me make a portrait of you.

- A portrait?

- Yes

What's a portrait?

Adrawing.

Oh, a drawing.

Why?

To remember you.

Are you leaving?

No. Because I like drawing.

Just because you like it...

- With Ramon?

- Of course.

OK.

Excuse me.

He'll make a portrait of us,

Ramon.

Smile.

Pig, go get Benavides.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Here's a present for you

to wear tonight.

Nice day, isn't it?

Yes.

Nice...

Hello.

Commander Frutos,

La Malaria's Judge of the Peace.

And who are you?

I asked what your name was!

Julian Erralde.

Mr. Erralde is working for us

And how long are you staying?

Not long.

That's OK. People from big cities

are not good at field chores.

Come here, Pig!

Here's a son of yours!

Ramon... Easy...

You can prepare it

for the feast tonight.

And you, Juana, get ready.

I'll send for you tonight.

Sure. Here's the money.

What business do you have

with these people?

Come, Pig! We have to prepare

the party for tonight!

I see you in the light of dusk

walking with your girl, and I'm behind.

I don't know where you're from

or what your name is,

I bark at you for a while,

but you don't even look at me.

I dream that you come and get me,

we get stuck together, then we go to sleep.

In the light of dusk I watch you go by

I return home alone, then I start to bark.

Music man, stop the music!

You all know our sacred values:

God, our Nation and our families.

So I've gathered you here today

to leave my path of sins

and tell you that

I'm getting married.

Cheers!

Cheers, Commander!

Long live Commander Frutos.

Stop it!

Here's my future bride,

so happy she's almost crying.

Let's hear it for her,

poor thing!

Bring her to me, Vargas!

Come here, girl!

We'll continue with the ceremony.

The religious one

will take place some other day.

You don't like the ceremony, baby?

What a pity, darling!

Grab her!
