Death in the Garden Page #2

Sorry, Captain!

Take him in the jeep

to the Cimaruna police!

Not that!

He'll shoot me

for trying to escape!

Lock him up!

Congratulations, Captain!

Wait, Chenco!

We have to discuss business

They ambushed us!

We couldn't even fight back!

Idiots! You have guns! Use them!

Who shot the corporal?

Not me!

Put the bastard in jail!

Maria! ... Listen, Maria!

Throw that away!

My baby, there's nothing left

for us to do here

We'll go home to France!

It's my country!

We have quite a bit of money

You'll be happy there

You'll get medical care

Maybe we won't leave alone

There's a lady who likes you.

And I like her!

Maybe she'll come with us

You wouldn't mind?

Angel! You always want to please

you papa!

There! ... Isn't she pretty?

She's to answer me tonight

I wanna talk to you

What's wrong?

I've thought it over

Tell Captain Ferrero I don't

like the deal

He always takes too much!

Don't get upset!

We need him and you know it

That's no reason!

He needs us too!

I'm about ready to quit

Now don't worry!

I'll make him cough up ... Trust me?

Sure! You got trust written

all over your kisser!

Djin, I wanna talk to ya

Go ahead!

Not here!

There?

Well, what's on your mind?

How do ya feel about Castin?

Castin? He's a decent guy

That's all?

That's not so bad!

Most of the guys around

here are bastards!

Well, the decent guy wants

to marry you

That's a funny one!

So he sent you?

I wanted to know what you

think about it

What I think?

Hey, a gent's askin' for my hand!

What do ya say?

I'm serious!

Can't we laugh a little?

That's a good one!

So? ... What's your answer?

Look, Alberto, ya know who I am,

don't ya?

So this shakes me up a bit!

That guy used to come here a lot

Now he ain't been in for two months

To top it all, he's always in church!

I can't see how you two are pals!

Castin don't care about

bourgeois prejudice

He offers ya a good, honest family

My ideas go along the same lines

Castin's a decent man and

that means a lot

An honest family with me?

And he's no spring chicken!

No, it's not a good deal for me

I'm goin' for the accounts

Don't make a mistake subtracting!

Castin's 68 and has pockets

full of dollars

He wants to buy a restaurant

This climate's worn him out

You'd soon be a young widow! See?

You're sure he's loaded?

He's got more than any of us!

Tell him to come see me tonight ...

for a talk

You're a b*tch!

I wanted to see what ya really are!

You're worse'n I thought!

A nice guy tries to help ya and ...

ya only want his cash!

Ya want him to die fast!

Disgusting!

What's with you?

I never said money scares me!

Don't anyone move!

Any hidden guns?

Yes! ... Here!

Hands up! Get their guns!

Now get the hell outta here!

Remember to tell Castin to

come see me tonight!

Go on! Into the street!

Whenever you wish

How is he?

Like a guy short on blood!

My son, your friend's tended your

body as best he could

I wish to console you ...

In the name of Our Lord and His Church

Great! Me with a slug in my hide!

Don't be bitter, my son.

Think of your soul!

Screw off!

I wish to help you

Don't consider me as an enemy

I'm a man who wants to ease ...

you misery

I ask only ...

that you repent

Let me lead you to God

Lemme alone!

Alvero, don't refuse the priest

Listen to him. He can help!

Then go confess to him

but lemme alone!

A guy like you knows how to

face a firing squad

But afterwards? ... The priest

can help ya for that

Your comrade's right, my son

Forget your pride. God is all-powerful

Repenting don't cost a thing!

Shut up, churchy!

Poor lad! ... I can do nothing more here

You did your best. Thank you

I'll be just outside

Would you do me a big favor?

Yes, my son, if I can

I don't know what they're

gonna do to me

But I left my old Ma in Europe when

I came here to get rich

You see the mess I'm in

I'd like to write to her

Then I want to confess

I'll confess you

Do you have a pen and paper?

I'll ask the guards

Get the man pen and paper

I can't!

Get them. I'll take

the responsibility

Father! He's lost consciousness!

He must be dying

Don't bother!

It's a good one

I want a firing squad before midnight!

Execute him in the night?

Why not?

He'll be an example

I'll show the mob

I'm not fooling!

Squad!

Look, Alberto!

Lemme alone!

Present arms!

Aim!

No more death penalty!

Go!

Got any ammo?

Make do with that!

It's full!

Gimme the revolver!

Shall I come?

No need. I know the way!

Reinforcements?

Tomorrow at eight!

Under whom?

Colonel Sandman

A machine-gun platoon

and 100 infantrymen

- Who is it?

- Castin!

Lemme in! Quick!

You're hurt?

It's nothing!

I can explain!

In the fight!

Ya shoulda come here

instead!

But I didn't do a thing!

Due to the bloody riot

in this peaceful locality ...

caused by mostly

foreign adventurers ...

we declare a state

of martial law

The leaders are known to us

and will be tracked down

Two of them have

already died

The two in hiding are ...

Castin who incited

the men to riot ...

... Shark who blew up

the powder kegs

A 5000 peso reward is offered

for them, alive or dead

If they are not found

in 24 hours ...

Four of their comrades chosen

at random will be shot

Signed, Colonel Sandman,

Commander of Cuchazo

Alone?

Where's your father?

Your papa! Where is he?

Your papa is out?

It's dangerous outside!

I must talk to him!

Please tell me!

He didn't sleep here?

Why did ya come here

to hide?

I didn't plan things this way

You expected an invitation?

No, but I thought of you ...

as my wife. So ... here!

I see

Don't say I'm here!

Please open the door!

I must see Castin! It's urgent!

Come in!

I hesitated coming for you

in such a place

Father, I can explain

First, listen to me!

I never thought you'd lead ...

such a riot

I didn't!

The army saw you with the agitators

They shot at you?

Some have already died!

Now they're after you

Me? ... I didn't do a thing!

You did nothing

I wasn't even there!

If you're not found in 24 hours ...

Four hostages will be shot!

The reward for your capture

is 5000 pesos!

That's terrible! But I can't

do a thing!

My son, you can!

First, ya should leave my place!

I'm not mixed up in this mess!

What should I do?

Do? Give yourself up to

save the four men

But I didn't do anything!

Innocent men'll be shot

Innocent! ... But I'm innocent too!

I didn't fire a shot! I wasn't

even armed!

You know that!

This person's testimony ...

Meaning what?

The colonel's witnesses ...

say you're guilty!

Four lives depend on you!

I told you I did nothing!

I won't turn myself in!

Tell him, Djin!

Ya gotta beat it!

Or I'll get screwed!

But I'm innocent!

So tell'em that!

I'll see the colonel with you,

I promise

You'll save the hostages' lives!

Open up! We wanna see if

Castin's there!

Open the door!

Give him to us! Not to the soldiers!

I'm gonna break down the door!

They'll turn me in!

Father, do something!

What'll my daughter become
