Being Human Page #4

Leave me alone!

Don't be a martyr.

Let me have it.

Seor Hector.

Uhh!

[Andre] Come and help me.

Let me help.

Don't.

[Andre] Look. I found the box.

I'm sorry.

What was the story

between this man and this woman?

Shipwreck?

Heartbreak?

The usual.

Yeah, lots of different stories

washed up on this shore.

How many made it?

80 men,

10 women,

18 children,

and 45 slaves.

10 women?

We got you a big chair.

Where do you want it, in or out?

Out.

We got your table, sir.

Where do you want it?

Uh, right there, please.

Hurry up with that table!

I've lost a rather valuable ring,

and I'd like it to be found.

Please.

Francisco, I have

some cloth and carpet.

I thought if we worked together,

we could make a better shelter.

At least ask dona Ursula.

I don't have to ask her.

I know she'd agree with me.

Leave us alone.

Well, at least take the cloth.

The carpet, the cloth.

Keep it.

Build your own hovel somewhere else.

Leave her alone, Hector.

Francisco, I have some rope.

Thanks, Nuno.

I'll see you later.

All right.

Life is harder now.

Where's my hat?

It's in the bag.

Dear god.

Nothing.

Send 2 parties of 10 men each--

one to the north,

one to the south.

Bring back what you can--

Game, fruit, anything.

Are you serious?

Send someone back when

you find fresh water.

Any trouble, discharge three shots.

No, j-just one.

One shot, perhaps two.

[gunshot]

Ohh!

Ohh!

[bang]

[bang]

[bang]

[bang]

They run off with the dried bread, sir,

And most of the fresh water.

There were eight of them.

We got these two.

Why were you running away?

Why were you leaving us?

You men are deserters,

and you will die tomorrow.

With all respect,

these sentences can't be lawful.

You don't think so?

Of course not.

They must hang.

They were stealing our bread.

I didn't steal any bread.

Gomes stole the bread.

He's away.

[Dom Paulo]

What do you think, father?

I'll comfort them

whether they live or die.

[Francisco]

There must be proper justice.

[deserter]

I didn't steal any bread.

[Salgado]

You must decide, sir.

Gomes told us to run.

[Dom Paulo] I'll decide!

No, I won't.

We'll all decide.

Most of the people

that matter are here.

We'll have a vote.

Who agrees

with Salgado and me

that they should die?

And those against death?

You can't vote!

This isn't working out, dom Paulo.

We need authority.

You must decide.

Very well.

Da Cunha.

Sir?

The cross the carpenter's

working on,

have him turn it

into a scaffold.

Have it erected

away from the women.

Executions will be

at sunrise tomorrow.

Tell father Diogo.

Take them to the raft.

Are we all in agreement

with hanging?

Should we shoot them or what?

Hanging is fine, sir.

Very well.

Who's going to conduct

the executions?

Shall we choose someone

Or have a volunteer?

Hector.

I'm not good with ropes.

I can barely tie my own shoes.

I'll do it.

At sunrise tomorrow.

Send the priest to them tonight.

He found your ring.

Me.

We found it.

Well...

thank you.

I found it.

Good work, Andre.

Thank you.

You go sleep by the big fire.

Oh...

Yes.

Good night.

Well, they were

as close to friends

as a master and a slave can be.

Keep warm.

I'll try!

And the woman...

Well, perhaps they were

as close to friends

as two old lovers can be.

Hector?

One moment.

Oh!

Nuno.

Here's what they found.

There are four for each of us.

They taste kind

of milky, but sour.

Thank you, Nuno.

My mother ate three

and she was sick,

so try two.

But she was sick before.

Maybe you can try three.

I'll start with two.

Hector,

Lopo, the boy they're going

to hang tomorrow,

he was my friend on the ship.

I was going to take him

something to eat.

I thought... maybe two of yours

and two of mine?

What about tomorrow, Nuno?

What am I going to eat tomorrow?

Dom Paulo would call it a waste.

[women singing]

You've got to keep yourself strong.

That's what he'd say.

God knows what's

going to happen to us.

We need you to be strong.

What if I take one to Lopo

and the other to dona Ursula

from you?

Thank you.

And if they don't

let you talk to Lopo,

give them both to the lady.

Thank you, Hector.

Thank you.

So, what was the priest to do

but bless the men?

There's water for one more day.

What do we do then?

Keep hanging people.

That'll solve the problem.

I wish they'd hurry up

with these two.

Hector!

What?

Hector, please!

Hector.

Yes?

Thanks for the fruit, Hector.

Promise me when we're dead

you won't let them eat us.

They said they would.

Who said that?

That was a joke.

That was a joke.

You won't eat us, will you, Hector?

Oh, no. I won't eat you, Lopo.

Thank you.

You won't eat me, either?

Oh, god, no.

I'd never eat you.

No offense.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Come on.

I'm going to walk.

I want to walk!

Please let me walk, for god's sake!

Please let me walk!

Everyone kept their distance.

What now?

God knows.

Like any priest anywhere,

all he wanted was a sign.

We're being watched.

We're being watched.

I bet some gunpowder

would scare them.

No. They might be friendly.

Then they'll have food.

That's right.

We mustn't be timid.

You.

Go and talk to them.

No.

Go on.

Go on.

Get up there.

That's right.

Be friendly.

Smile.

Go on.

Don't you want a little

drink of water?

Go, go, go, go.

Oh...god.

What's this?

A bit of bread and raisins.

Thought everything had

been shared on the raft.

Well, that wasn't.

It's for her... and for you.

I must speak to her.

He could talk to them.

There's just the two.

Their leader arrives tomorrow.

Well, thank god we're safe.

Oh. And they said

not to sacrifice

any more men for them.

They don't like that.

They don't like that.

Nuno!

It's stuff from the ship!

Did you give her the fruit?

Yes.

What did she say?

She said thank you.

Anything else?

Well, go on. Run!

Don't just stand there.

See if there's anything.

Run!

Look at it!

Ha! Just look.

[laughing]

Look at that!

Right up on the beach!

Turtle eggs.

Dr. Correa was shipping

them to the royal zoo.

I think he was hoping

they were going to hatch.

Eggs for supper tonight

for everyone!

Eggs!

Eggs! Eggs!

Why is she doing this to me?

Why won't she let me speak to her?

[women singing]

Oh!

You'd think in this awful situation--

death and pain all around her--

that she'd want to reconcile herself

to someone who cares for her.

Why can't I see her?

I just want to apologize.

Oh...

You have any eggs left?

The slaves only got three.

Yours were fine?

Yes.

I'm unlucky, Andre.

I'm unlucky with women,

I'm unlucky with eggs.

Have you eaten all of your eggs?

Yes.

At least one of us is well-fed, huh?

How are you doing, Andre?

I only have one small problem.

You still keep calling me Andre.

Oh, god. I'm sorry.

I did promise, didn't I?

I want to die...

at least with my real name.

Indro...

Indrabooti

Fadradakeeli.

Now I remember

why we call you Andre.

Indrapoo--

Indrapoop-

Indra--

Indraboot...

Indrabooti
