Weeping for a Bandit Page #2

---

The only thing I have to

say is that I am leaving!

I will try to find El Lero, or anyone else.

Anything but remaining under your command!

We won't split the loot until tomorrow.

And if someone is afraid to be in my

group, we'll talk about it tomorrow!

I'm not afraid to be part of your group...

but there are things a man should never do.

Where are you going?

In this group, everyone pays for one

person's mistakes. Don't you forget that.

Whoa! Whoa!

C'mon, wake up.

- C'mon!

- Leave him, Antonio.

I told you to leave him!

He asked for it.

Wait a minute, Lutos.

I'm going to kill you.

- Sotillo, Gypsy!

- Freeze!

- Stop it!

- Let go of me!

Let go of me!

- Let go of me!

- Stop it, Lutos.

You all will pay for this, I swear!

Now!

Let's go, Antonio! Nobody knows

if he still will be alive tomorrow.

Let's go!

I will stay here.

As you wish. We will

be in the Dog's Ravine.

Quickly, let's go!

Look Sotillo, what I have found.

This fire can be seen from far away.

Let's leave this place.

I would like to do the same thing

to all the cortijos in Andalusia.

We should be leaving, Sotillo.

We won't leave until the fire is out.

Will this heal him?

Let him rest for a few days.

He must not move. He is strong,

and he will be well soon.

May the Cross spare us from evil.

May the Cross spare us from evil.

Where are we, Antonio?

A friend will let you

stay here for a few days.

It seems that the worst is already over.

Where are the other men?

We'll join them when we can.

El Sotillo is awaiting us.

One day I will be able to

repay you for this, Antonio.

Who is Mara?

The old woman said you must not move!

What do you know about Mara?

You have been mentioning her

name during the whole night.

They have killed One-Eyed.

This is for the wine.

What are you looking for, Father?

These men need my assistance.

I'm afraid you got the wrong

information. These men are dead.

But then...?

Father! Confession! I want to confess!

Confess me, Father! Confess me!

- Let go of that!

- Stop! Stand up!

- Stop, Sotillo!

- Let go of me!

That's enough! From now on, I am in command!

There are two more men in the inn. Antonio

and I will take care of them. Let's go!

Corporal! Sergeant! Freeze!

Don't move! Don't move!

- Gypsy!

- What?

Go inside! Inside!

Inside, quickly!

Halt!

Halt!

At your orders, Lieutenant.

I have orders to escort

the Mail carriage to Cabra.

You may return to Blmez

My men will relieve yours.

Yes, Sir. Anything else, Sir?

That's all, thank you. One of

you, go to the coachman's seat.

It's Antonio! Come and

let's talk, old pal.

Here is El Sotillo, as well.

What are you doing here?

He is now our boss. By the way, he

came to the mountains looking for you...

and now he is our leader.

Hey, Montes, bring us some wine.

Since I went to Cordoba, I

keep hearing about all of you.

An inn, a mail carriage...

too many things for so few men.

You said you came to the

mountains looking for me?

I ran into some trouble in the village.

Then I went to La Zalema and

Juan Zebrin told me look for you.

What happened to El Lutos?

He died. Same as Jimnez.

An One-Eyed as well.

Yeah, what a massacre.

El Lutos was looking for trouble.

Well, what do you all want from me?

You are just a few. Mind

you, a few good friends are

worth much more than a

larger group with no unity.

We came here looking for a few men.

We have something to offer in exchange.

You are starting to stand

out quickly. Too quickly

to boss and put on airs

the way you are doing.

And I thought that El Lutos

was no longer an animal...

Don't be in a hurry. We'll talk later.

He deserves to be in charge,

Lero. He is quite smart...

cold blood, he is brave,

and we don't risk much...

What's your name?

Jos Mara Hinojosa.

Here you have him. A man who has just

arrived and he is already teaching us.

Jos Mara... El Tempranillo.

The one who came to the

mountains asking for El Lero.

What's bad of this kind of life is

that you don't get any better times.

You are always one step from being shot

or having a knife stuck in your guts.

Of course, if they catch you

they treat you like a wild dog.

They put you on a deck, and they

stick a screw through your neck.

Think very well about it. You

can still change your mind.

Don't trust any of

these men, not even me.

Today we are friends, but

tomorrow we may be enemies.

And don't get involved in

politics. Treat the peasants well...

they must either respect you or fear you.

They are on their own, and they like us

to be in the mountains, I don't know why.

I no longer have any

hopes, like you do. You

are still young and you

have many years ahead.

But I wasn't born to be a starving

peasant with no land of my own.

When nobody knows who is the heir,

I will buy some land nearby Granada.

And people will address me as 'Don

Juan'. That's better than nothing.

- Good morning, gentlemen.

- Good morning.

Could you tell me if Mara Jernima

Frances is working in this area?

Yes, sir. She is reaping

in the wheat fields.

Thanks a lot.

(Song) Your affection is like the bull...

who goes wherever he is called. And I, like

the lone tree, And I, like the lone tree...

which does not give shade to anyone;

which does not give shade to anyone...

just to me, between the wolves.

It breaks my heart...

whenever I think of you, Mara.

When I have you in front of me;

when I have you in front of me

I forget all the bad things, I forget all

the bad things, and I must forgive you.

Not by shooting me or by stabbing me...

have I pulled away from your affection.

I will not leave you, I will not leave you..

even If I must loose, even if I must

loose the eyes with which I look at you.

Mara, wait.

My mother told me that you left the

village without saying where you were going.

I have looked for you all this time.

I come to make my word good, Mara.

I told you I would come for you.

Didn't your mother tell you the

beatings I got because of you?

Didn't you mother tell you of

the many sleepless nights...

I waited for you at your home?

Didn't they tell you

that I have starved?

I have been slowly forgetting about you.

It has been a long time.

Don't let her run away! Get her!

Mara!

Gentlemen, let's have fun. You

too. There will be peace today...

and nobody will hurt you!

I want a sensational

wedding, not a funeral!

I'll pay for everything. Let them eat

and drink! Tell the villagers, Sotillo!

You are all lucky.

Long live the bride!

Long live the couple!

She is going to be yours,

for my advice was futile.

Long live Jos Mara!

The whole village is yours

if you so wish, Mara.

Long live Jos Mara!

Where are the owners of all this?

They are in the cellar, don't worry.

Thank everybody in

my name for this gift.

Antonio! We will depart in half an hour!

Everybody get ready!

Get my horse ready!

- You've heard it. C'mon.

- Get up, Castro!

Hurry up!

You can't leave me now.
