El Topo Page #2

Synopsis: El Topo decides to confront warrior Masters on a trans-formative desert journey he begins with his 6 year old son, who must bury his childhood totems to become a man. El Topo (the mole) claims to be God, while dressed as a gunfighter in black, riding a horse through a spiritual, mystical landscape strewn with old Western movie, and ancient Eastern religious symbols. Bandits slaughtered a village on his path, so El Topo avenges the massacred, then forcibly takes their leader's woman Mara as his. El Topo's surreal way is bloody, sexual and self-reflective, musing of his own demons, as he tries to vanquish those he encounters.

and a big village

They won't help us get out

We're deformed from continuous

incest. We disgust them

lt was difficult to bring me here.

Why did you do it?

The old woman knows

She sent us to find you.

Now she wants to see you

This is not my face!

This is not me!

l'll find money and dig a

tunnel in the mountain

The tunnel will unite the

village and this cave

When the tunnel is finished,

you'll finally be free

You'll get out of here

This is the big village

We should beg

See to my curls!

Paint my nails!

The cream

Fan

This pervert is looking

at my legs!

Help! He's forcing himself

on me!

You saw him kiss

me roughly!

Disgusting slave! How dare you?

Help, he's raping us!

Don't let him get away! Murderer!

Bring him here! Rapist!

You're really degenerate!

Get him! Get him!

Murderer! Murderer!

You think it's worthwhile for my

people to come here?

This is worse than the other

l'll keep digging

How many metres have we dug now?

There's more to go!

We've lost our public

Hey, monsters! Monsters, come here!

Come on, come here!

We'll pay you well

They're both dead

- Who died first?

- This one

He's the champion!

Protect us, Lord

Protect us, Lord

Protect us, Lord

Protect us, Lord

God loves us! God protects us!

lf we have faith, nothing

can happen to us

We must gamble with God

The stake is death

and who doesn't believe

in God will die!

Protect us, Lord

- Miracle!

- Miracle!

Protect us, Lord

Protect us, Lord

Miracle!

Protect us, Lord

Miracle!

Don't tremble, the safety's on

- Miracle!

- lt's a miracle!

Miracle!

APOCALYPSE:

No one will come any more.

The circus is over. l'll go too

Come in!

As is the custom,

the League of Worthy Women,

after the monthly inspection,

congratulates your husbands

Everything's decent here

Want to earn money?

Come with me

Go down there

Come

Do the kissing number!

Now we want to see the sequel!

Come on, strip off!

l love you! They don't exist!

There's only you here

We're alone! Love me, please!

We can buy the dynamite and

keep on digging the tunnel

Why are you hiding?

l'm ashamed. Now l disgust you

and you'll abandon me

No, come with me

Tell him to marry us

Go on!

We're getting married, Father

No, you can't kill him!

He hasn't finished his work!

...and he promised to dig

the tunnel so we can be free

l'll wait till you finish the work.

Then l'll kill you

But l'll watch you day and night

so you won't escape

You'll never finish!

You're taking too long

lf you want us to hurry,

help us to finish

And if you want to finish

quickly...

help us to beg

This rock's too hard.

We've hit it a thousand times!

Only 1 ,000 times?

The pain must be unbearable

My body feels pain. Not l

You'll never do it. That's enough!

You've done it!

- You've done it!

- Don't tell him! l'm not ready!

l can't kill my master
