Weeping for a Bandit Page #4

news, I'll come here.

Take care of yourself, Jos Mara.

Be careful.

Commander Ramos... you will go directly

to Cdiz with the bulk of the troops.

You, Santos, will go to Seville.

And you, to Crdoba. We must prevent

the Liberals from grouping together.

At your orders.

First Squadron... march!

Second Squadron... march!

Cheer up!

Keep on going, don't stop!

Halt! We'll stop here...

Haaaaalt!

Pedro...

That's a Liberal party.

I am Pedro Snchez.

I was captured with Alvaro

Villar and the other comrades.

I managed to escape in our

way to the prison in Seville.

I have heard of you. I am Capt. Leoncio

Valds, at the service of the Constitution.

This is my friend Jos Mara Hinojosa.

Sir...

What is the current situation, Captain?

There is general discontent.

Spain will be ours.

We will implement the Constitution.

In a week, at the most, I will have

recruited 500 men in Crdoba and Jan.

We will defeat the Army, and we will

join all other forces to enter in Madrid.

I suppose, Captain, that you

are well informed about...

how important are the Royal troops.

I am well informed, but the

soldiers' morale is equally important.

Don't you forget that we are

fighting for a just cause.

And, if it comes to that,

we will die for that cause.

If I can be of assistance, feel free

to use these lands... which are mine!

There were about 1000

men in the column I saw.

The stagecoaches are

escorted by 20-30 soldiers.

The coachmen are also

military personnel.

They are guarding day and night the

cortijos, the mills and the villages.

Your people on the plains

are awaiting your decision.

The Army didn't just come

to crush the Liberal uprising.

The King will seize the

opportunity to get rid of you.

They won't come into the mountains.

And what for do you want the mountain?

Your business are also elsewhere.

They are also in the plains.

They will trash your whole organization.

- Pedro is right!

- My decision prevails!

I will stay away from these politics!

Lucas, go to El Lero's territory! Tell him

to remain in the mountains and not to move!

Jos Mara, you cannot stay

out of what's going on in Spain.

I will! I am not interested

in this infighting!

Gypsy, go and tell Jos Mara that the

childbirth will likely take place tonight!

And you, bring hot water!

Stop!

We are at your service.

Juana! Rafael!

Juana! Juana!

Mara.

Mara.

Mara!

No!

The baby was a stillborn.

Carlos!

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me alone.

Take me out of here.

Jos Mara Hinojosa!

In the name of the King, surrender!

No...

Jos Mara Hinojosa!

In the name of the King, surrender!

To the horses!

Don't let him escape!

- Don't let him reach the mountains!

- Let's go after him!... Fire!

The men are restless.

El Lero...

he accepted the Royal pardon.

And so did his men... Jos Mara...

You must do something

El Lero is a coward.

Troops, march!

You are making a mistake going in the

open. Please, give it a second thought.

The troops you were

expecting did not arrive.

Join our group!

We will do guerrilla warfare, as we

already did before against the French.

The peasants are with Jos

Mara, and they will join us.

I don't like your plan.

If the men we were expecting don't

arrive, I will go and find them.

You will lead these

men to death.

But they will die for freedom!

With honor!

These are just words.

Do you think so?

Discuss it with your men!

If someone wants to fight against the

King, he will be with me, not with you!

The whole Spain is with us!

We will march on Madrid!

Long live the Constitution!

Maaaaarch!

Charge, soldiers!

Captain, our squadron is

going after the rebels.

The Royalists are coming to the mountains!

The Royalists are coming to the mountains!

Pedro! Bring my horse!

Get all the men ready!

Give me my horse!

Let's go!

Not in the mountains! I rule here!

Charge!

Pedro, let's go after them!

Let's help our friends!

Keep going!

Don't leave anyone alive! Kill all of them!

Kill all of them!

Go ahead!

Eh, Antonio! Don't leave anyone alive!

Pull from the rope!

Let go!... That's enough!

Jos Mara!

You are now like El Lutos.

Hello, Antonio.

Jos Mara, this man asked me

to bring him here. Listen to him.

Jos Mara Hinojosa?

That's me.

I'll be brief. I am offering

to you the King's pardon.

His pardon also covers your men.

This gentleman is a Notary Public.

If we reach an agreement,

he will write down...

the names and places of

birth of all your men.

The King wants peace, so he

is offering you amnesty and...

a sum of money varying

between 500 and 1000 reals

so that all of you can start a new life.

What will I get?

A cortijo in the Province of Crdoba.

And a sum of 25.000 reals.

And all this is in exchange of what?

I will tell the conditions

to the person concerned.

Only the deal with Jos Mara

Hinojosa will have strings attached.

It's a good price, Jos Mara.

It's all over, Jos Mara.

Think of your men as well.

They will go back to the farms,

and they will be people again.

Give up now, when they still fear you.

This way, we will end our

days like any decent citizen.

What are the terms?

You will hunt after any of your

men who returns to the mountains.

This is the only string

attached to this pardon.

They are offering us a

chance to change our lives!

And they are asking nothing in exchange!

I think we should take

what they are offering us.

And what is the King giving you?

He is buying you

for a few reals, and

he will keep ruling without

caring for his people.

Me must keep on fighting!

We will start again!

We still rule in the mountains!

You don't want the same

thing as they do, Pedro.

Leave them alone.

You and your men will be pardoned.

Those were the General's words.

I will stay here, in the mountains

with anyone who wants to join me.

I'm going with you... Pedro is right.

I will have to hunt you, Pedro! And you

too, Sotillo, if they tell me to do it!

This the price I have

to pay for the pardon.

In that case, we'll

see each other again.

Let's go.

You cannot refuse. Those

men were part of your gang.

You must honor your part of the deal.

How many men do I count with?

Come in, Antonio.

Take a seat.

He is my right-hand man.

Twenty soldiers will be enough.

They are fewer than that.

By the way, Pedro Snchez

has little to do with you.

He is a Liberal politician, and

there is a bounty on his head.

Pedro Snchez was second

in command in my group.

The men will be ready by dawn.

If you are successful in this mission, I

can tell you that the King will reward you.

(Song) I don't care if a King blames me...

if the people are great

and they vouch for me...

people's voice, Heaven's voice...

people's voice, Heaven's voice...

There is no bad King,

it's just the actions

I don't care if a King blames me, if the

people are great and they vouch for me.

Let me do it, Antonio.

Let's go.

Antonio...

take care of my affairs.

Let's go!

What has he done to you
