Pafnucio Santo Page #3

---

There is the mother, Pafnucio. Look for her and you'll find her.

But shun the intellectuals, slaves to money.

I'll look for her among the people, I'll find her on the land.

She will be the perfect mother, the beloved mother.

I love you, Sister Juana! I love you!

Let us bring forward the act, without delay, secretary,...

since this case concerns the justice that I exercise.

With your best handwriting, write: "On Tezclama Road, on my way to Zochicalco,...

by a topped tree I found the bloody bodies of Don Rubn Jaramillo,...

and his wife Epifania in an advanced state of pregnancy.

Along with these lying there who were in an open marriage...

there were these people, as here detailed.

Do not lose your way, secretary, and write what I dictate.

I found Enrique and Ricardo, and also Philemon,...

All of them, as noted, were children of Doa Epifania.

Specify that he who signs this, after investigating...

already at the scene, in sight of the bodies,...

I asked them who they were, several times.

In view of their silence, the secretary shook them...

ordering them three times to state whether they were still alive.

When they didn't respond the corpses were inspected...

since they showed the impacts of many bullets.

In view of the evidence presented by these wounds...

Don Rubn and his people were declared dead.

In view of all this, I express the opinion that I state:...

the cause of the death of these men was just death.

Gentlemen:
you have killed a saint.

Let's see the lady. She alone can help us.

We came to see the lady.

~ Do you have an appointment?

~ No, sir.

Well, in that case, go to table # 1.

Come along.

We want to see the lady. We have a very big problem.

The lady can't receive, she's with the Agrarians.

My name is Pafnucio. Holy Pafnucio. We come from that Teklama. Our business is very urgent.

I see, hang on a moment.

Gentlemen, in a moment the lady will receive you.

If you like, you can smoke. I've already ordered them to bring coffee and food.

The bathroom is over there.

The lady awaits you. Come along here.

Listen, lady, listen to the sad news we bring,...

the sad news that we bring, is that they killed a saint.

Don Rubn Jaramillo, just like all his family,...

were gunned down from ambush.

Listen, lady, listen to the sad news we bring,

the sad news we bring, is that they killed a saint.

Now I ask on behalf of injured people...

that you protect the poor, when they beg you, you pay attention...

because you're the chosen among women...

to bring forth from your belly the great revolution.

From you will be born the torch to ignite the world on fire,...

enflaming the hearts of men seeking the revolution.

It's hard to believe what I hear from your mouth...

But I see in faces of all that your warning is the truth.

This is a crime without a name, a treason without measure,...

his safety I attained so my work would get finished.

All my support I gave to him, I encouraged his ideals,...

I entrusted him to heaven, and I lived among his dreams.

From the top authority I attained the promise...

subject to a holy oath to respect his life.

"Treason, treason," I proclaim to the dead and the living,...

the people's executioners killed Jaramillo.

But we must prevent villainous politicians...

to grant the people be destroyed by greed of the rich.
