Bandidas Page #2

Synopsis: In 1848, a New York bank wants to put a railroad across Mexico, so it buys up small banks around Santa Rita, Durango, and evicts farmers on the proposed rail line who owe money. The bank's henchman is the murderous Jackson. He runs afoul of two women, María, the tough but uneducated daughter of a farmer, and Sara, the European-educated daughter of the owner of one of these banks. To feed the now landless people and to seek revenge, María and Sara become bank robbers, veritable Robin Hoods. But Jackson and his hired guns are after them. What are the women's options?

get from me. Now get out.

Papa? Papa?

Papa.

Maria.

Papa. Papa?

Papa?

Somebody, please go get a doctor.

-What did you do to him?

-I didn't do anything.

-We were finishing the arrangements--

-You killed him.

You killed my father.

Seorita,

he's evidently had a heart attack.

No.

He was--

He was healthy.

You did something to him.

I know you did.

I know this is a terrible shock for you,

but you need to try and remain calm.

In fact, I think you need to sit down.

Grief is intense, I understand that.

But if you can,

let's review the situation calmly.

Your father's dead. Everything that

belonged to him is now mine.

In your mistaken belief

that I had something to do with it...

...you've attacked me.

You're trying to kill me.

My natural reaction is self-defense.

Before we can stop this,

I'll shoot you dead.

But it doesn't have to end that way.

Look at that, darling.

It's choosing time.

That's it.

Well, I guess we've got a deal.

If you don't mind,

I need to go to my room.

I must lie down.

This is all too much for me at once.

You understand?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I understand.

You take all the time you need.

Don't worry about a thing.

I'll make all the arrangements.

Oh, darling?

Would you like your afternoon tea...

...sent up to your room?

That would be very nice. Thank you.

-Hey. Hey.

-Get back here.

Come back here, you b*tch.

-Come back.

-Hey. Come here.

I got you now.

Goddamn it.

-Padre.

-Maria?

They shot him.

I know, my child. I know.

What do you want from me, huh?

I have nothing to give you. Nothing.

You should have eaten

while you had the chance.

Get out of here. Shoo.

Hands up.

No one--

Move.

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm taking this bank.

-With an unloaded gun?

-How do you know?

When a gun doesn't have any bullets--

Doesn't matter.

This bank is taken. Find another one.

This is the only bank in town.

Besides, it's my father's.

And take that raggedy mask off.

It doesn't even match.

Everyone knows who you are.

Your mask isn't silly?

People won't recognize that voice?

-"This is my father's bank."

-It is my father's.

Get out of my way.

I need to finish my job.

-Seoritas?

-I would hardly call stealing a job.

Seoritas?

I am not stealing.

I am taking it back from the bastards

who murdered my father.

-They killed Don Diego?

-Seoritas.

What?

The first order of business

is that we're gonna secure...

...and then remove all the deposits.

And then we're gonna instill

some renewed confidence in it.

I'd like to see the Stars and Stripes

flying over this place...

...so things start to look

a little more American down here.

Seor Manager?

This establishment is now

a wholly-owned subsidiary...

...of the Capital Bank and Trust

of New York.

What do you say we open the vault?

Take a look, and see what kind of cash

is on hand in the liquid-assets department.

Excuse me. Where is the vault?

In Don Diego's office.

Well, I guess that would be Seor Jackson's

office now, wouldn't it?

We did it. We did it.

We did it. We did it.

-We did it.

-And what is it that you think you did?

Look. We're gonna help a lot of people.

To really help...

...you'd have to reverse the massive theft

of property that has taken place.

Listen, do you know how many

kilos of rice we can buy with this?

We can feed 500 people.

Why were you robbing the bank?

Revenge.

Not to help the people?

No.

What?

Stop looking at me that way,

both of you.

My life is not here.

-What are you doing?

-What does it look like?

Taking the money.

I'm going back to Europe.

You're joking.

All right, you can take half. I don't care.

You can even keep the dog as a bonus.

If you want to go, go.

But the money stays. All of it.

-No, it doesn't.

-Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

We were just debating

the basic economic theories...

...of wealth distribution.

Yes. Yes, we were.

That's good.

But before you reach

any hasty conclusions...

...let me show you something.

What?

Rice and beans

are not good enough for you?

I just can't eat when I see

what has been done to these people.

At least tonight they can eat.

We have to find a way

to get them back on their land.

We must come up with a plan.

Something that will benefit the people...

...and destroy these murderers.

I think we should rob more banks.

Yeah.

Let's go.

-Let's go where?

-Let's go rob more banks.

We can't just go right now

and rob a bank.

Fine. Finish brushing.

That's not it. We're not ready.

-Yes, we are. We just did it.

-We were lucky.

We cannot rely on luck.

We need to think first.

We need to consider the implications,

the consequences.

-Why are you so complicated?

-Why are you so unrealistic?

This is a noble cause

you seek to undertake, seoritas.

But if you keep fighting like cats and dogs,

you won't make it to sunrise.

My daughters, you know...

...when Columbus proposed his journey

to discover the New World...

...everybody said that was...

...unrealistic.

But he succeeded.

Because he had the king and queen

of Spain to help him.

Who do we have to help us?

I think I might know someone

who can help you.

Can I help you?

We're looking for these two.

What's a pair of seoritas like that

gonna be doing way out here?

We found this snagged on a cactus

half mile down the road.

Well, you find any more of that,

you can make yourself a nice little hankie.

Now, do you mind getting your foot

out of my door?

-And if I don't?

-lf you don't, I'll kill you.

Now get your sorry ass off this porch.

You too.

Come on.

Hey, does this belong to you?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Mr.--

-Where are you going?

-Far from here.

Toughs like that tend to come back

with reinforcements.

-But you said you would help us.

-I just did, missy.

No, no. Padre Pablo said

you could teach us to rob banks.

Well, where did he get that idea?

He said that's what you used to do.

That you robbed 37 banks in Texas

and never got caught.

Thirty-seven.

Last time I go to confession.

Listen, high-minded ideals is one thing,

robbing banks is another.

And to tell you the truth,

neither one of you pass the muster.

-We're well aware of that. At least I am.

-That's why we came to you.

To learn.

Well, to learn, you gotta have resources.

So far the only thing you've shown me...

...is a talent for bringing trouble

to my front door.

Buena suerte, ladies.

Mr. Buck.

You're not going anywhere...

...until you tell us

everything we need to know.

First, if you pull the trigger

on that gun...

...the way you're pointed,

you might cause it to rain.

-Well, haven't you fired a pistol before?

-I have.

But you didn't kill anybody.

There's always a first time.

That's true. But this ain't it.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Come on. Go on.

What the heck? Go on.

Git.

Go, git.

Come on.

Hey, what have you done to this horse?

-Please, Mr. Buck, they killed my father.

-And they almost killed mine.

You're breaking my heart.
