Camila Page #4

How long did you

intend to run away?

He doesn't forget those He chose.

It's not a coincidence

that I should be here,

in this lost little town.

Why don't you let me live in peace?

What is it?

Where's my husband?

Father Gutierrez

has been discovered.

I'm sorry, madam.

I don't understand

what you're talking about.

Another priest recognized him.

I still don't understand.

Where's Mximo?

Camila!

Please...

Where is he?

I don't know.

He ran to the river.

At your doorstep...

...you'll find two horses

with groceries on them.

Brazil isn't far away.

Don't waste any time.

Dawn is near and then

I'll have to obey my uniform.

Thanks.

I will always be Gutierrez.

I'm sorry.

I wanted it so.

I don't regret anything.

Me neither.

But... I can't with Him.

I can't with Him.

On behalf of the government

of Corrientes the lawless...

Ladislao Gutierrez

and Camila O'Gorman...

are arrested and put

to the order of justice.

What are you saying?

No! Not her!

Not her!

Let her go!

She didn't do anything!

She didn't do anything!

Let her go!

- Ladislao!

- Not her!

"To such corruption has order arrived

under the tyranny...

of Plata's Caligula that the priests

of Buenos Aires ran away...

with the girls of the best society

without this immoral man...

take any action of it."

"El Mercurio", Santiago de Chile.

What do you think now?

What should Rosas do?

- Tell them they're right?

- She's a girl, doctor.

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

Let's read.

This is from Montevideo.

"Is there enough punishment

for a man who dishonors a woman...

and cannot repair it

by marrying her?"

Valentn Alsina.

What's important is knowing

if there are laws...

which contemplate the case.

Do you think Sarmiento

and Alsina care about the law?

They don't ask for trials,

they ask for punishment!

Did you read anything

about a trial?

Excuse me, Father Elortondo.

I don't think the Church

can be so naive.

You're excused, Dr. Velez.

But the governor asks for

your juridical advice.

Well.

No problem at all.

According to the amendments

this is a sacrilege.

It's punished with

the death penalty.

Is it prudent to evoke

the laws of Indians...

when not even in Spain

they punish sacrilege with death?

All that matters is shutting up

those filthy Unitarians!

Would you like to add anything else

to defend your future...

...sister-in-law?

She won't be my sister-in-law.

I'll call off the wedding.

Sir...

Camila's in jail in Santos Lugares.

- How do you know?

- My father told me.

Don Adolfo, please,

you must defend her.

No one gets out of there alive.

My God...

I trusted you with my daughter.

And you weren't man enough

to take care of her.

You must be a bigger man

to learn to forgive, sir.

A daughter who betrays her father

doesn't deserve forgiveness!

If Camila comes back she'll regret

all the damage she's done.

I'm begging you, Adolfo.

- Please, Tatita...

- No more wining!

She doesn't regret it.

I know.

It's in her blood.

She's just like my mother.

Do you want me to tell you

one thing, Adolfo O'Gorman?

Damn the day I met you!

Instead of thinking

about your daughter...

all you care about

is your last name!

You're sick with pride!

You're all sick!

With violence!

With blood!

Does anybody raise his voice

to save my daughter?

No one!

No one thinks about her!

The Church thinks

about its good name.

You think about your honor.

Rosas, about his power.

The Unitarians on how

to overthrow him...

by using this scandal!

But who thinks about my daughter?

They'll shoot me.

What about Camila?

Forget everything,

think about yourself.

It's a service I ask of you

so I can die in peace.

Camila will also die.

I need to talk to her.

- You're the boss here.

- I'm not any boss, Father.

I just execute orders.

- I'm begging you, Captain.

- Don't insist.

Don't insist.

Will they kill us just like that?

No trial even?

- No chance to defend ourselves?

- It's not in my hands.

You told me they'd send me

to the exercise house!

Somehow the governor

changed his mind.

They can't kill us like this!

Get a doctor, urgently!

My child, you're pregnant.

May God help you!

Ladislao!

We're having a baby!

We're having a baby!

Ladislao!

We're having a baby!

We saved her, Mariano!

We saved her!

We saved her, Mariano!

We saved her!

How?

The law forbids to kill

a pregnant woman.

Sit down, doctor.

- Long live the Federation!

- Long live!

Come in.

- Long live the Federation.

- Long live.

What is it?

I come from Buenos Aires.

A message from the governor.

How long will it be?

Four hours.

What about Camila?

Will she die at the same time?

Yes.

I need to write some lines.

Please...

Camila, my dear.

I just learnt you'll die with me.

Since we couldn't live

together on Earth...

we'll join each other

in Heaven before God.

I embrace you, your Gutierrez.

Be brave, my child.

God wants you on His side.

Please, Father...

do something, I beg you.

Confess your sins to me, dear.

You must be ready

for the supreme moment.

But won't you understand?

There's life in me!

Make it safe, I beg you!

- Think about your other life.

- But I think about this one!

Drink, my child,

so that the blessed water...

reaches the body of the innocent.

Be brave, my child.

Attention, company!

March!

Attention, shooting squad!

Line up!

Attention, shooting squad!

Present weapons!

- Ladislao, are you there?

- Right next to you, Camila.

Arms to the shoulder!

Aim!

Fire!

Ladislao!

Ladislao...

Attention, shooting squad!

Load weapons!

Arms to the shoulder!

Aim!

Fire!

Fire!

I said fire!

Fire!

Ladislao, are you there?

Right next to you, Camila.
