and, besides,

he wants him to marry Anna Luz.

But she doesn't want to marry him,

and he doesn't want to marry her.

And I do want to marry him.

And he wants to marry me, I think.

But down here,

they have to do what his father says...

and it's all so mixed up and hopeless.

Maybe it isn't so hopeless.

I'll see about your lunch.

We are quite sure he's still around here.

He must know

the police are watching all the roads.

Who notified the police?

My father did.

I would have done anything, it is true,

to have made the discovery.

And now Seor Navarro

would give anything...

to have the treasure

where it really belongs:

In the National Museum.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, 'cause

you're going to have to give quite a lot.

- What?

- Two things.

The discovery reward,

and Anna Luz's freedom.

The reward is paid by the government...

and I do not know

what you mean by her freedom.

She knows that you want her

to marry your son...

and she'll do it, because she feels

that she owes it to you.

Anna Luz...

is my home and my son

so hateful to you?

No, not hateful at all.

But it's true

that I do not want to marry Raul.

I have loved you as my daughter.

And I love you as a father.

I will do anything you wish...

but Raul does not want to marry me,

either.

Raul?

It's true, Father.

You are free to do as you wish.

All right, now,

in order to find Jefferson...

I'm going to have to have

some kind of an automobile.

- We will get one.

- Thank you.

No, no, seor.

Jefferson would not show himself,

even if he was still in Oaxaca.

I'm not looking for Jefferson here.

Come on, let's go.

Seor...

you have been asking

for a certain man?

That's right.

Then perhaps I could take you to him.

How much do you want?

Fifty pesos.

That's the museum storehouse.

That's what I figured.

- Jefferson.

- Who is it?

Bergman. Let me in.

What happened to you?

Colby tried to kill me.

Colby?

- You're out of your mind.

- No.

He's alive.

He followed me everywhere.

That guy must have nine lives.

What's that?

The electricity. You know that always

happens when we have a storm here.

- Come on, tell me about Colby.

- My shoulder.

I'm bleeding to death.

Okay, okay, I'll fix it.

If Colby's around...

I better get those sacks out of here first.

Leave them alone, Jefferson.

They're right where they belong.

Well, you got to admit

it was a good try, amigo.

That's right. It was a good try.

$1 million...

you're throwing it

right into the lap of the government.

Turn around.

Well, I guess that's the whole story.

What do you think I'll get?

Anything short of life, and you're in luck.

- What happened to Bergman?

- He'll live.

Even though they don't

bring a murder charge...

- there's a half a dozen other crimes...

- Seor Colby...

I've just been given some documents

bearing on your case.

Your archeological permit,

dated five days ago.

Your discovery reward...

a draft for $25,000...

and a statement of Seor Navarro...

of your doings together

on behalf of Mexico.

You've been speaking

to Seor Navarro?

To Seor Navarro, and several others.

We have decided, in view

of the documents, to release you.

Provided you are willing

to leave Oaxaca.

Look, I'm willing to leave Oaxaca, just

get me an airplane ticket out of here.

That's already been secured.

As well as a car

to take you to the airport.

Will you come with us?

Look, just one thing, though.

There's a couple of people I'd like...

- to look up if you don't mind, one in...

- You better go, Colby.

You see? I kept my word, Mr. Colby.

- I'm grateful.

- I'm pleased.

Because there is something

I'd like to ask you.

Were there more than three pages

of the manuscript?

No, was there supposed to be more?

I merely wondered.

Good luck, seor.

Where is Anna Luz?

I would rather not discuss the matter.

Your plane is waiting, seor.

Hey, look,

there's a phone booth right over there.

Do you mind

if I make a very important call?

I'm sorry.

Don't push your luck, Colby.

They might change their minds.

Yeah.

All right.

- Su nombre, por favor, seor.

- AI Colby.

What did Don Ulbaldo want?

What are you doing here?

I'm flying to Havana.

I'm going to try and find the man...

who has the other nine pages

to the manuscript.

You mean, you're willing to chase

all over Cuba with me?

She says to fasten your safety belt.
