and Doctor Gil,

in a display of sportsmanship,

manages to untangle them.

Never speak about anything

without an alibi.

If the police show up, we're talking

about the end of the movie.

Well? Ready to take the leap?

The leap where?

Into the underground.

We need someone

to take Jose's place.

What would I have to do?

For now, help out

with the propaganda.

But if you ever get caught,

memorize my nickname; Nutcase.

That's all you know about me.

Not where I work, where I live,

nothing.

- Okay?

- Okay,

Your contact's name is Honey.

She'll tell you what to do.

- She's a woman?

- That's right.

Look.

This is her address.

Memorize it and bum the paper.

Or eat it, whatever you want.

But never let them catch you

with anything written.

Don't scare me.

You'll get used to it.

Welcome, pal.

Okay, let's see

what we've got here...

Transcribe.

"Property seized

belonging to defendant

Carlos Ruiz Mimbrero.

Cash:
None.

Jewelry:
None.

Livestock:
One hen.

Furniture... "

One queen-sized bed...

and six chairs.

"... and three wicker baskets.

Property:

A one-story home

on Caldereros Street

number 3 in Aracena. "

All set.

Yes?

Hi. I was told to ask for Honey.

What do you want?

I'm picking up a suit.

I don't remember measuring you.

No, it's not for me.

A friend sent me.

Come in.

Take off your uniform.

Give me a hand.

This thing weighs a ton.

Take care.

Don't wipe it off yet.

That's Fernando, my only son left.

Where is he?

In the quarries.

He got caught taking refugees

to Tangiers 3 months ago.

Who is your contact?

I'm never seen his face.

I only know his name; Thyme.

This damn Thyme guy again.

Do you all have f*ggot names?

Where's that water?

Private!

Guards, take him away.

Will that be all, sir?

Beat it.

Sir.

You asked to see me, sir?

- Permission to enter, sir.

- Yes.

- At your service.

- Pace.

I want you to find out

what this kid is doing.

Enrique, every afternoon

He may look harmless,

but... you know what I mean.

My niece.

Is that clear?

Crystal clear.

Leave it to me, sir.

Goon

Sergeant.

You'll make the brigade

in January.

Yes, sir, Lieutenant Colonel.

Look.

How ambitious.

What?

Working overtime?

Jesus Christ.

Who got you into this mess, kid?

Nobody.

Nobody?

They were seized by the court.

All I had to do was take them.

Right.

Working on your own,

is that it?

You'd better start talking

before I get nervous

Who gave you the pamphlets?

His name is Nutcase

- but I've never seen his face.

- Nutcase?

Are you making fun of us?

Who gave you the pamphlets?

I only know his name is Nutcase.

One...

Two...

Okay.

Okay, that's enough.

You'll give him a heart attack.

Sorry, kid.

We needed to baptize you.

Car. Let's go!

From now on, you'll call Ramos

"Footlights".

You need a nickname too.

How about "Pellet?"

- Like my brother at school.

- That's right.

It'll be easy to remember.

Leopoldo, I forgot to tell you.

They caught one from the mountain.

Did he talk?

No, no.

- He only mentioned Thyme.

- Why didn't you tell me?

He only said Thyme was his contact

and he's never seen his face.

Then they took him away

after beating him.

They'll try to make him talk.

If he does, tell me right away.

It's important.

Who's Thyme?

I don't know him.

But he's very active

in the organization.

Look.

You have to forge an indictment

on Saturday. These are the names.

Some of our people

who've been hiding for ages.

I can't, Carmen and I...

Make up an excuse.

Honey's expecting you

Saturday afternoon.

Hey, how do I look?

Okay, all set.

Stay by the vehicle, private.

Vicente, come on.

"My brothers in arms.

My love for you runs deep.

I am and have been your equal

and I am also your greatest enemy.

Therefore,

let me tell you the truth.

You must be proud of your enemy.

Only then will his success

be yours as well. "

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra. "

- "Your greatest enemy. "

- Yes, sir.

Who wrote that?

Damn it, Vicente.

Who cares? What matters is

what it means, damn it.

At your service, Lieutenant Colonel.

The fugitives are ready to testify.

Are you sure?

You've been having trouble

keeping the rabbits in the burrow.

One of them is in the infirmary

Want me to go get him?

Fine, all right.

Private, follow me.

Come on, hurry up.

Sergeant, we need more than ten men

to move this rock.

Okay, everybody stop

what they're doing.

Go on, try by yourself.

By myself?

Not even ten guys can do it.

Private.

Let's go.

We weren't trying to escape, sir.

I swear.

We were just a little drunk.

We wanted to spend the afternoon

with our families.

We were going to come back.

Take the prisoners away.

Those damn explosions!

I'm requesting the death penalty

for all three.

Your Honor,

we're running behind

with the canal works.

It's not in our interest

to lose more men.

They can just bring three prisoners

from jail.

Just keep the flock from getting out

and the alcohol from getting in,

understood?

The rest is my business.

- All right?

- Yes, sir.

Okay.

Feel like celebrating?

No, I don't.

Don't be like that.

This was impossible to get.

A couple drinks to clear your head.

You're a pain in the ass,

you know that?

One drink.

Don't look at me like that.

How?

Who did you kill to get this?

Three or four guys.

Has being too pretty

been hard for you?

Has being too nosy

been hard for you?

Ana...

I'd give anything to see you smile.

I have no reason to.

Life is unbearable without humor.

Take it from me.

Your nickname suits you more

every day, Nutcase.

I have to go.

After all I went through

to get a table...

Wait a little longer.

Wait.

You can stay if you want.

Leave everything

the way you found it.

- Judge's office.

Enrique.

Hi, Carmen. How are you?

Did you get my message?

Yes, they said you cant come

this weekend

No, I want to look at

some more houses.

You know how busy I am this week.

Sure. Well, I have plenty to do

around here.

I miss you a lot.

Will you come next week?

I'm sorry, Carmen. I have to finish

something very important.

I'll come and see you soon, okay?

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Very good, private.

Work comes before devotion.

Shh, stop.

Let's go.

Afternoon, ma'am

- Hello, gentlemen.

- Police. May we come in?

- Of course.

We received a complaint

about strange noises.

Well, sir...

Strange depends on who you ask.

Let's go.

Goodbye.

Did you inform the rebels

about the mountain patrols?

Yes, I did.

But that's helping the rebels.

It warns them where not to go.

Listen...

Okay, I'm listening.

The guys who asked me

weren't guerrillas.

- They were disguised as police.

- If you weren't sure,

- your duty was to report them.

- Sir...

Police or guerrillas come through

almost every week,

almost always disguised

as the other.

We get worked over

no matter what we do.

Okay, take it easy.

How can you prove

you're not helping the rebels?

Because I'm not.

Good.

I believe you.

Sergeant.

Yes, sir.
