In the center of the camp is a towering wooden machine ("The Big Bird Cage") in which the women risk their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners, and all attempts at escape are dealt with...permanently. Terry's only hope for escape lies in Blossom and her revolutionary allies.

I don't know, but

they're meeting their friends

At the river.

Well, let's get moving.

That way.

Come on.

Rina.

[Fire crackling]

[Foreboding music]

[Screaming]

[All screaming]

[Yelling indistinctly]

Wait, come on!

[Yells]

Get it!

You mother f***ers!

God damn them!

[Fire crackling]

[All cheering]

Let it burn!

Burn!

[Gunfire]

[Gunfire]

[Fire crackling]

[Water splashing]

Come on, baby,

[Gunfire]

[Gunshots]

[Fire crackling]

[Gunshots]

[Fire crackling]

No!

No! No!

No!

Where are you going,

you old bastard?

You can't...

It's falling!

It's falling!

[Water splashing]

[Distant gunfire]

Come on, honey.

This way.

[Distant gunfire]

[Gunshots]

Ah!

[Gunshots]

Ah.

Aw, sh*t.

Django, no.

No.

I'm sorry, honey.

Don't forget.

You show that society trash

How a real first lady

throws it first.

[Crying]

Oh, no.

Oh, no, django, baby.

[Weeping]

Oh, you...

[Gunshots]

[Screams]

[Gunshots]

[Water splashes]

[Gunshots]

[Explosion]

[Water rushing]

We can cross the river

at the top of the falls.

It's shallow.

Listen.

[Dogs barking]

The dogs.

They're getting closer fast.

[Dogs barking]

It's gonna be harder with her.

Are you going to kill her?

You know the rules

about informants.

We don't have to follow

the rules anymore.

We're out now.

The dogs.

Let's go, quickly.

Please!

This way.

[Dogs barking]

[Water rushing]

[Screams]

[Dramatic music]

It's one leg.

It's busted, God damn it.

The dogs will catch us.

Leave her here.

You stay

right where you are.

We'll make a splint,

and we'll carry you.

We'll be all right now.

We're across the water.

I'm the odd man out this trip,

but you can make it.

Hurry.

You're crazy.

Give me that.

If you don't go now,

you're gonna be dead anyway.

I'd be doing you a big favor

if I shot you.

You just leave the fink with me.

Pull me over there.

Then tie our friend

to that tree.

The dogs will come for her, see,

And I can get a shot at 'em

before they get at her.

Promise me you'll let them

take her alive.

It'll be better for you

that way.

I promise.

[Dog panting]

We'll be back.

Sure.

Get yourself a good lay for me,

will ya?

Sure.

[Dogs barking]

[Suspenseful music]

Shoot.

Shoot!

[Gun clicking]

[Dogs barking]

Shoot!

[Screaming]

[Gunfire]

I can't go on anymore.

You got to.

Look, we can get out now

if you just keep going.

Keep going?

Where?

There's no place to go.

Look.

Well, I guess that's it.

Hey!

We're friends.

We're friends of django!

[Peaceful music]

Old man there is a good man.

He'll see to it that you get

to Hong Kong all right.

Only for a little while.

I'll be back.

Then we'll see.

I can twist these comic opera

politicians

Right around

my little finger.

They haven't heard the last

of Terry rich in this country.

Have they found out

about blossom and django yet?

Not yet,

But they're out there somewhere,

in the mountains fornicating,

Making up for lost time.

They'll turn up one day,

And vivo LA revolucion.
