But I'd like to ask

if you'd join with us.

Oh, yeah,

so what you want is

for me to risk my neck.

You want my answer?

It depends on the end.

You'd be paid very well.

Then you know my answer.

Posing as guards,

we'll infiltrate the camp.

Jordan knows and trusts

you, doesn't he?

In a day or two, when their

backs are turned,

we'll sneak out the emeralds.

So the deal was set.

And my friends were about

to enter the belly of the beast.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Dig through every inch of that mud.

If you see anything that

looks likean emerald, holler.

Dig deep. Dig!

Work today. Work, work!

Come on. Get off your ass!

Get over there!

Hey, hey, wait a minute.

Hold it.

(CHUCKLING)

MAN:
You haven't found

a rock in three days.

Now keep looking!

You're not through yet.

You gotta find some more first.

Any one of you girls

who finds a precious stone

will get double rations today.

If you don't, you get nothing!

GUARD:
Come on, ladies, come on!

WOMAN 1:
Stay on the other side

with that bucket.

WOMAN 2:
Look, you give me

any more orders,

I'm gonna throw this bucket

right in your face.

Just try it and I'll split

your head wide open with...

Oh, bullshit!

(GRUNTING)

(DOG BARKING)

GUARD:
Come on, come on!

Get over there!

Come on!

(KOCKING ON DOOR)

Come in!

You're not bringing me good news.

Yeah. Another bad batch.

This is it?

The company's gonna shut us down.

Let 'em do it.

There are no more emeralds here anyway.

This island is rich with emeralds.

It's up to you

to push the women harder.

And I don't care how you do it.

Look, if the prison would

send us more prisoners,

we'd have better results.

These women are useless.

We can only push them so far.

If I was in charge, I'd push them

till they dropped.

Well, you're not in charge.

You're too soft, Cesare.

Oh, shut up, you two!

We can't send Orinoko back

with this batch.

Or would you rather be working

this job for free?

It's Orinoko with the new prisoners!

JORDAN:
Well, Orinoko,

you finally got here!

I think so.

How are you, Mr. Jordan?

That's him. Follow me.

RUIZ:
Tomas,check this out.

Well, how are things going

in this harem of yours, Mr. Jordan?

Everything okay, huh?

Yeah, yeah, I've seen better.

Look, I want you to meet

Sergeant Laredo.

How do you do?

Okay. Come.

That'd be all, Cesare.

These new prisoners

are a difficult bunch.

The company ordered us to stay here

and help you break them in.

Just in case.

What news do you bring

from the outside world?

Same old crap.

You can take the world and

shove it for all I care.

Just give me my boat, women,

and plenty of cash.

You'd peddle your mother's body

for a nickel.

Hey, that's no way to talk!

Get off my back!

You and me have worked together

for years.

We know each other.

We got a lot in common.

You know, you're full of sh*t, Orinoko.

Ah.

Hey, Sarge, uh-uh.

Look, but don't touch.

There's a large fortune

right there in those bags.

Phew, I don't know how

you can eat this yuck!

LORNA:
Cool it!

Don't cause trouble.

Hey, you! What's the matter?

Don't you like our menu?

Well, you'd better eat it,

or I'll rip your skin off.

I'd rather be skinned alive

than eat this slop.

Listen, kid, you just got here

so I'll forget it.

Otherwise, I'd have you licking it up

with your tongue.

Now get to the showers!

You smell like garbage!

GUARD:
Come on, you girls,

get in there!

Come on, move it!

Come on!

Get in there.

We don't have a lot of water.

So no beauty baths.

Move it! Move it!

Come on, get in there!

Move it!

Come on, hurry up!

Come on! Get in there!

Get it over with!

Okay, everybody out! Move it!

Now it's my turn. I owe you four.

DALY:
Maria expected the worst

from the guards there.

But nothing could prepare her

for the women she'd meet.

Hey, I brought you another friend

for your cell.

She's worse than the rest of you.

F***ing women! Get in there!

When did you get here?

Around an hour ago.

Listen. I'm the leader in this cell,

and if you do as I tell you,

things won't be too bad for you here.

What is your name?

Maria. You can sit down.

That's enough. Let's play.

Seven.

And that's your bunk.

What's your sentence?

Ten years.

And, of course, you are innocent.

No.

Well, an honest girl.

KATE:
You gotta learn not to think

about your past. It's no good.

This is your new life, and

you better get used to it, Maria.

So you know

who your roommates are.

Mary, six years for illegal prostitution.

Muriel, 20 years for

premeditated murder.

And I got life for killing

my girlfriend.

We'd better all get real familiar

with one another.

We're gonna live together

in this damn prison

for quite a long time.

We all have to give

and be amiable,

so we can love each other.

Especially when they leave us

alone in the cell at night.

(GRUNTING)

You b*tch! (COUGHS)

MARY:
You guys are

gonna get us in trouble.

Get off me!

MARY:
Stop it!

Cut it out! Stop it!

Guys, stop it. We're gonna

get in really big trouble

if you don't stop now!

GUARD:
Come on! Get in there!

They're fighting again.

MARY:
I told you guys.

CESARE:
What the hell

is going on in here?

Calm down! Take it easy!

(SCREAMS IN ANGER)

CESARE:
We'll give it to you!

Hang 'em on a tree.

What you see hereis only

an example of what you'll get.

You must never provoke any

disorder, understand?

This is a prison camp.

We have laws and regulations

and they must be obeyed.

The punishment from now on

will be more severe.

Much more drastic for all those

who create disorderof any kind!

In the barracks, when you work.

I don't like using strong-arm methods

but if there were no discipline

in a prison camp

there would be total chaos.

So it is my duty as warden here

to see to it

that law and order be kept

at all times!

Any one of you who violates my laws

will be punished severely.

Now let me remind you

that each one of you

is serving a sentence for

having committed some crime

in the outside world, and you

are now being punished for it!

I have here some letters

and lovely post cards

from the outside world.

I can't imagine how they managed

to find their way out here.

We are miles from civilization.

But I changed my mind about

distributing this mail to you

because of what happened last night.

And you can forget getting

any news at all!

For any of you!

And I don't give a damn!

Now, work, all of you!

(WHIP SNAPS)

ADOLPHO:
All right, let's go.

You all heard what the warden said.

Come on, move it, move it!

Move your ass, blondie!

Come on, I don't have all day!

Go, b*tches!

Come on, move it!

All right, move it, hey!

CESARE:
Come on,

ladies, get the lead out.

Come on, it's time for

another day in the sun.

Come on, get in there.

Come on, move it!

Move it along, my beauty queens!

Come on!

Let's get out there, let's do it!

Come on! Hey, come on.

Let's get some work done.

We gotta dig here.

We gotta get some of those emeralds.

Dig! Come on!
