All right!

Hey, little girl, watch out!

Huh?

There's snake in the water!

All right, baby. Come on.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

What are you...

Oh, boy.

The little girl needs loving now.

Yeah, yeah,

right here in the bushes.

Come on, baby.

You'll love it.

Thanks.

(GROANS)

Tell me, how's Maria?

She was beaten pretty bad.

But she'll make it.

Why?

Why are you being so nice to us?

LAREDO:
I just wanna help.

Why, why do you ask?

Because no guards ever helped us.

I hate to see you women suffer so.

You're prisoners,

not animals.

Prisoners, guards, we're beasts.

Everyone's an animal.

Conditions here are worse

than I expected.

The guards are insane.

The women don't stand

a chance against these bastards.

We have to do something

to help these prisoners.

The guards outnumber us six to one,

and they're well-armed.

But I think we must revolt.

We have no moretime to wait.

We must act.

Let's blow this place off the map.

It'll be a risky operation.

Gentlemen, take it easy.

We gotta follow our original plan.

We grab the diamonds and then

we take off.

Swell.

But you don't have a vote here,

friend.

I'm with Paco. Let's blow it up.

Yeah, dynamite is my specialty.

Then we agree?

First, we wait for the opportunity.

Don't forget that you're guards now.

So act like it.

No one learns of our new plan.

And no fighting at all until

I tell you.

Is that clear?

That's it.

It's as clear asa 20 carat gem.

MARIA:
Kate, don't you ever

think about breaking out of here?

Listen, when you've been

here as long as me,

you don't think about it anymore.

I mean, who cares?

Water. Hey, give me some water.

My throat's killing me.

All right.

Hey, you want any? No.

MARIA:
I don't think

I'll last long here.

I can't get used to this.

Wait a minute.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, what are you up to?

MURIEL:
I was looking for some

roots. It's not forbidden, is it?

Not when we are rest.

Why would you be looking for roots?

To eat them. I'm still hungry.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, Muriel, you'll

have all the food you can eat

if you'll just play along.

Let go of me! Hold it!

She's just like an animal.

Yeah, a wild animal

that needs to tamed.

MURIEL:
Leave me alone!

You two willnever have me!

CESARE:
Oh, you hear that,

Adolpho?

We'll have her all right.

You'll see, Cesare.

The more you resist,

the more you excite us.

I'm not giving in. Leave me alone!

(LAUGHS) Muriel, look at this.

This'll make you change your mind.

Now tell us that you'll do

everything we want you to do.

I'll count to five.

If you don't tell us by then,

I'll throw this snake in your face.

One, two, three, four.

You filthy b*tch!

You think you're tough.

I oughta stuff it down your throat.

You have a lot of courage, Muriel.

The girls look up to you, right?

Yes, they believe in me.

I bow down to nobody.

As long as I have my courage,

I'll fight.

And to fight for their freedom

and yours, will they help you?

Help? What do you mean?

I was brought here by jewel thieves

disguised as soldiers.

Do you understand?

Jewel thieves.

I don't understand.

Is this a joke?

No. If they're gonna fight

for our freedom, well, then,

we'll organize the women

and fight beside them.

ADOLPHO:
Hey,

what's the matter with you today?

Don't you feel like working?

You bunch of good for nothing b*tches!

Come on, move it!

(WOMEN GRUNTING)

You gotta work today. Work!

Work!

Quit f***ing around, fat ass!

Pick it up and carry it.

All right, you two. Come on,

now fill up that wheel barrow.

We ain't got all day.

We gotta get moving.

Let's go, go!

Hey, if you're not finished by sundown,

you gotta go straight to

your bunks without any chow.

Now, get moving off your ass! Go!

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

MARIA:
Muriel,Kate, look.

What did you do? I cut my hand.

Are you all right?

Here, let me see.

Do you feel pain?

Yes, so much.

Do I have to look after

you c*nts every second?

Get back to work!

Oh, I hate that b*tch.

She was one of us,

and she's on their side.

You'd better listen to what I say.

You got it?

Are you all deaf?

Did you hear me or not?

What are you doing?

Are you playing with yourselves?

I said get to work!

Now, did you hear me?

We didn't hear you.

KATE:
She just fell down.

Let me see that.

Ah, wash it off and get to work.

That's nothing.

Get back to work I said! Do it!

You better bring her to the infirmary.

You have the nerve to

give orders around here.

Since when?

I give the orders here.

Now get to work!

You're through giving orders,

I tell you.

MURIEL:
She's right.

I'm not mad at you.

Look, why don't we forget this, huh?

You won't, for certain.You listen.

We're not taking your sh*t anymore.

You're gonna get what you deserve.

You used to be one us, you traitor.

Let go of me.

(GRUNTING)

Let's get her down.

Have some water.

Hurry.

MURIEL:
Drink it.

Get her down.

You haven't had enough.

That's strange.

What could that be?

Whatever it is, it's not going

to be very pretty.

Someone's gotten themselves

in some kind of a mess.

Maybe a prisoner's gonna

get a lesson in manners.

Yeah. But do you think

she's gonna live through it?

Well, we're about to find out.

She's drowned.

In water two feet high?

No, this girl was murdered.

Merica was one of my best guards.

While on duty, she was attacked

and brutally killed.

Whoever it was

who committedthis crime

better own up to it,

because if they don't,

every one of you prisoners

will be whiplashed every day,

until Merica's murderer

has been brought to me.

All right, Cesare,

start lashing!

(WOMEN SHRIEK)

(GUARDS SHOUTING)

Harder!

CESARE:
Walk in a circle!

Keep it on line.

Who murdered Merica?

I want names!

More!

I want names, now!

CESARE:
Come on, move it!

Give me a name.

ADOLPHO:
Who murdered Merica?

Give me a name!

Who did it?

Harder! Hit them harder!

More!

I want names now!

JORDAN:
I'll take this one.

(WHIPS CRACKING)

(GUARDS LAUGHING)

You sadistic bastard!

No. No.

LAREDO:
Paco! Leave him to me.

He's my responsibility.

You fool!

Now he's yours.

Put this soldier under the ground!

CESARE:
Grab him!

CESARE:
You'll regret this.

Let me go!

CESARE:
Yeah, we'll let you go.

You'll wish you were dead.

I want that manmade an example of.

I want to be sure he is very sorry.

I'll have him shot.

Put him down in the hole

where he belongs.

Let's go.

So much for Laredo's plans.

So long, Paco.

LAREDO:
I had to do that to Paco.

I had no choice.

We can't be too careful.

I thought he was going

to spoil everything.

I gotta get him out as soon as I can.

He'll die if he stays

in there much longer.

The time is right for the revolt.

We must go and inform

the others to be ready.

Paco'll live through it.

What I'm worried about

is whether you will.

A man's got fortune

in gems waiting for him

and he won't goin and take it.

Is that right?

(CHUCKLES)

GUARD:
Pablo, I'm here

to relieve you.

PABLO:
Good,

I need some sleep.

Everything okay?
