Che: Part Two Page #5

to Camba and Chapaco.

Camba says his physical condition

prevents him from continuing.

I think he no longer sees

the point of the struggle.

I talked to Inti already.

Fernando, I am a bit sick.

- I don't believe...

- Camba.

I can't let you go

until we meet Joaqun's group,

because if they capture you,

you not only risk your own life,

but you also put the whole group at risk.

Look, Camba.

To survive here, to win,

you have to live

as if you've already died.

I never said to Inti that I wanted to quit.

Quitting is for cowards.

What I told Inti is that in six months

to a year, I want to return home.

Let's see.

Tell me

exactly where you said to cross.

Just about here is where

I will make them cross, captain.

Now,

put this white shirt on

so we don't shoot at you.

Now go home and don't move

until the guerrillas arrive,

or they'll suspect something.

Fire!

Today, the Bolivian army reported

a rebel clash at Vado del Yeso.

Ten rebels were reported killed.

The group's one survivor,

Jos Carrillo, is a local miner

who was under the command

of a Cuban named Joaqun Acua.

That's bullshit from the army.

They can't all be dead,

unless they were

walking in their sleep.

Jos Carrillo is Paco.

Maybe he was caught and is talking.

Let's go.

It's already 5:
00.

- What happened to her face?

- The piranhas ate it.

I requested a coffin.

There's a cemetery in town.

Mr. President,

with your permission, sir.

What do you plan to do with Che

if he is captured alive?

Personally, I think

the biggest mistake Batista made

was not killing Fidel

when he had the chance.

Thanks.

Fernando, they say the truck comes

every day, and the deputy...

- What's his name?

- Vidal Aguilar.

- Left yesterday for Vallegrande

to warn the army about us.

It's a two-day-old telegram

sent by the army to the deputy.

It says, "Any expenses incurred will be

reimbursed by the army."

Inti is already talking to the wife.

They own a store.

Tell Inti that in reprisal for that,

we will take all that we need

from the store.

Take 10 cans of sardines

and those tomatoes.

This is for my children!

Madam, madam.

Dear comrades, we've been here

fighting the army for six months now.

You may wonder why.

We want to end injustice

in this country.

To end neglect and misery

to which the government subjects

its own people.

For example,

where is the nearest hospital?

About 100 kilometers away, right?

What if you get sick?

First you have to pay

to take a truck to Vallegrande,

and then you pay for the stay.

So you go to a hospital,

which they say is public,

but to see a doctor,

you must pay first.

Isn't this the way it is?

And the medicine? They won't even

give you aspirin for free.

In other words,

if your kid gets sick or dies because

you have no money for the hospital,

who is going to care?

That is the reason why your luck

changing for the better

depends on the triumph

of our struggle...

Yes?

Is there going to be fighting

here in the village?

We have no intention of

fighting in the villages.

Nothing.

Two pigs and a mule.

- Weird, isn't it?

- You're telling me.

- Where is Miguel?

- He should already be here.

Hey.

Madam, madam!

Madam!

I don't see anything.

Absolute silence.

Smells like soldiers to me.

It's completely deserted.

I talked to an old woman who said

that her grandson saw soldiers yesterday.

Miguel.

Get the vanguard ready to go

to Jagey at 1300 hours.

You heard it.

The vanguard, get ready.

Miguel, stay on guard.

Take all security measures.

Understood.

- Tell me.

- Fernando.

I think it's better that I stay here.

I can't stand up or pee.

We aren't going to leave you here.

When we get to Jagey,

we'll make a decision.

Good afternoon.

I met him on the way to Jagey.

He says he comes from Vallegrande.

Where are you going with these goods?

To Picacho, sir.

I have jerky and cheese to sell to

Pombo, Pombo.

Support my family, sir.

- Have you seen the army around?

- No, sir. I haven't seen the army.

Fernando, he looks too nervous to me.

Maintain vigilance.

Fall into line. Everyone, stay alert.

Are you sure

you haven't seen the army?

No, sir. I haven't seen the army.

Good.

Pombo, walk with him

to the outskirts of the village.

Thank you, sir.

You have a pebble factory in your shoe.

It's the second time

you've stopped for the same sh*t.

Pacho, that way.

Daro, go over there.

Willy, go with them.

- Antonio.

- Chapaco, let's go.

Urbano, go over by the fence.

Arturo, over there.

Keep going, Daro.

Retreat!

Everybody run down the hill!

I'm covering you!

Downhill, everyone!

- Chino, what's wrong?

- I lost my glasses!

They'll kill you. Here they are!

They killed Coco, Julio and Miguel.

Camba, this way. Camba!

Camba! What are you doing?

Come on!

What happened?

They killed Miguel,

Julio and your brother.

I tried to get them out,

but I couldn't.

I'm sorry.

This is Che's vanguard.

You think he's close?

I think you should bring in

the second Ranger division.

They haven't finished training.

You're going to need

every man you can get.

Benigno.

Benigno.

Benigno,

Fernando is asking you to stop.

Hold on.

Benigno, let me see your wound.

It's okay. It's nothing.

Take it.

Tell me, Fernando.

Go with Benigno to explore.

Let's see if we can find a place

to spend the day without being seen.

Captain, a message from

Lieutenant Huerta.

A peasant saw some rebels

heading toward Yuro Ravine.

Tell him we're on our way.

Look.

Must be a peasant

on his way to Pucar.

- How many are there?

- More than a battalion.

- Are they together?

- Two or three meters from each other.

Willy, go look for ato

and Urbano, immediately.

Arturo, bring Daro and Aniceto.

Fernando, the left ravine

ends in a house

that's taken by the army.

- You can't get out of the middle one.

- This is the steepest ravine.

It's 500 meters to the hill.

And there's also a tree I think

would be good as a lookout.

- Then go there immediately.

- Okay.

Benigno, be vigilant, find a place

where we can leave during the night.

Okay.

Take care.

We'll wait there until 9 at night.

Those who don't arrive by then

should make their way down

the ravine to Rio Grande,

and from there

to the mouth of Santa Elena.

We'll wait there for two days.

Pacho and Willy.

You will take this position here.

Antonio and Arturo,

into this ravine.

No one shoots until they shoot.

If you hear gunfire,

first, find out for sure

that they know about you

and that they're not just

sweeping the area.

Do you understand? Go now.

Go with Daro

and reinforce Benigno's position.

Don't let him fall asleep

from exhaustion.

Fernando.

We've been in worse

situations than this.

There are three ravines:

La Tusca, San Antonio and Yuro.

The guerrillas

could be in any one of them.

Search all three.

Start in the upper canyons

and make your way down.

What if they try to escape?

I'll set up a command post

where the three ravines meet.
