The warden is asking for you.

All right, I'll go right over.

That's enough now.

Come on.

Hurry up, the restaurant is closing.

They're not going to wait for you all day long.

What you got today?

Snake soup.

Snake soup.

Snake soup.

What is it?

It's a rather exotic odor.

Smells just like horse manure and garlic to me.

You'll eat it, I bet you.

How about you, my cat, want this soup?

Sure, Nannerl.

Will you evoke your spirits tonight?

The stars are favorable, so I want to know what's in the future for all of us.

Come in.

Bad day today?

Yeah, same lousy luck we've been having lately.

So I see.

If it continues this way, we'll have to close up shop.

So you better get busy and get at those emeralds, or

we'll wind up losing our contract with the company.

Sir, if you can get the government to send us some more prisoners, that'll help.

And then there's that promise to shorten the sentence for those who volunteer.

I wonder which is worse, the prisoner or this hellhole?

What do you think?

It's a lot worse here, Cesar.

Shut up!

This area's rich with stones.

Get at them, Cesar.

Now get back to the camp.

I want to speak to Margo.

Remember, we could use some more prisoners.

That's my job.

Right, sir.

It's a fact, Jordan.

He needs help.

Those prisoners are dead tired.

Some are even sick.

Listen, Jordan.

They won't last.

I expect some new prisoners in a week.

Perhaps what we needed from the beginning was more help.

That's true.

There's no doubt about it.

Now the authorities will have their stones.

I'll be ruined if we don't succeed.

Don't think about it anymore.

Forget your troubles for a while.

You haven't been yourself these last few days.

Because you haven't been near me, dear.

Tokie, Well boys, you're going to spend this thing.

You don't want to be eaten by the piranhas, Arge.

Hold on to your drawers.

Captain, Captain, you don't think you're

getting any speed out of this bathtub, do you?

Here, I'll show you.

Let the piranhas go hungry?

Ah, the poor fish.

All right, he's a good boy, so guess we'll take him aboard.

Take him aboard, Captain.

And let the piranhas go hungry.

Here, I'll be right back.

Help!

Pleasant dreams, Sarge.

Where are you?

Back we go.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Take him in.

Here, Captain.

Here, reach up.

Okay.

There we go.

Bravo!

Full speed ahead, boys.

I know it's difficult, but we've got to take control of Jordan's camp.

To combat the Nationalists, we revolutionaries must have arms and dynamite.

And emeralds to buy them with.

We could buy the ammunition.

Once a month, Orinoco's ship, I know, carries

bags of emeralds into the city from Jordan's camp.

Understand?

It isn't difficult.

I think we can make it, sir.

Jordan's guards are only around 20 men.

You'll make it.

Remember, it's for the revolution.

For the liberty of our people, you're doing this, Laredo.

Just remember that, Laredo.

You can bet on that, Moreno.

The route Orinoco's boat takes is this.

Along the way, Orinoco generally stops right here.

Ah.

At this place, the boat is closely watched by armed soldiers.

Covering the arriving prisoners and later safeguarding the emeralds.

I see.

We'll have to surprise them by night.

Very well.

This is your mission, Laredo.

Be very careful.

Orinoco will help you.

I hope so.

Men.

Ready to march.

For the revolution.

May God be with you.

Is

this all the speed this tub's got, Orinoco?

Don't start that again, Sarge.

Take it easy and enjoy the scenery.

What's your name, honey?

Maria.

Maria.

Why are you here?

For strangling an old bastard.

I was his secretary.

I needed the work.

But he expected me to do everything he wanted.

He was ugly, inside and out.

A rotten swine.

He was drunk one night, so I put him to bed.

That's when I strangled him.

Did you hear that?

The lousy rat got exactly what he deserved.

There's no doubt I would have done the same thing in her place.

Sarge, would you give me a puff?

It smells so good.

Here, just one.

Hey, Orinoco.

Huh?

Look, the girl wants company.

She's no bread for your teeth.

She's much too young.

She's also very pretty, Thomas.

Yeah, she is pretty.

Thomas, you steer the boat.

Hey, Captain.

How much longer before we get there?

I'm gonna get seasick.

It won't be long.

And this happens to be a river.

Too strong for you, huh?

You're breaking her back.

You don't realize your own strength, do you?

Give me that bottle, Duchess.

Ahoy!

Grab it, Louise!

Feel better now?

My throat's on fire.

It'll pass.

I'm gonna slug her this, Thomas.

So you don't drink.

Why don't you drink?

You're a privileged prisoner.

Look, for your information, all us girls are privileged prisoners.

Because we're all volunteers, you know.

I know it.

I beg your pardon, Duchess.

Thomas, speed her up.

These women are getting very impatient to arrive at their destination.

Take it easy, Louise.

Sit down.

What do the spirits tell you, Muriel?

Say, you two broads make me feel like I want to vomit.

Spirits, my ass.

Well, well, turn around.

Listen, Rilda.

If you don't believe in spirits, we do.

So shut up.

Muriel's got to concentrate.

What do they tell you?

Is it bad?

Something not good?

It's all quite clear.

I see blood.

For liberty.

Lots of blood.

Much blood.

For liberty.

The price of liberty is always counted in deep red.

Ah, you and your dawn spirits.

I'm fed up with you.

You and her, too.

The price will be high.

We will all have to pay.

We always have to pay for our freedom.

We will

all have to pay for our freedom.

Hold it.

Yes, let's go.

This is it.

Follow me.

Where are you headed?

Good God, only five of us left.

We must go on, Chico.

You're a bunch of good-for-nothings, that's all you are.

Remember, we're not playing games here.

This is a prison camp.

You're here to work?

Hey, what are you doing?

Move it.

You, too.

Get the lead out of your ass.

Give me some water.

Me, too.

I'm dying of thirst.

Thanks.

You don't have to.

Come on, you.

You're not in vacation here!

You gotta work!

What's the matter, fat stuff?

Get up.

So what?

Bitch is dead, get back to work!

Wasn't worth a crap anyway.

One mouth less to feed.

Maybe she's better off than all of us.

He's a murderer, that bastard.

Get up.

So, I'm a murderer, huh?

I've been waiting to make you feel my whip bruising your beautiful black body, Muriel.

You're a swine!

You're a worm and a coward!

Why, you slut!

Can't you wait, do you hear?

And that goes for the rest of you!

Understand me?

God damn it!

From now on, if I hear a peep out of any one of you, I'll whip you till you're dead!

We're stopping here for tonight.

Sarge, help these maidens getting off, will you?

Let's go, girls.

Come on, now.

Well, that's got one of you two.

Give him a hand.

Here we are.

Home sweet home.

So this is where you'll sleep tonight, Duchess.

Sleep tight.

Thomas, do something.

What?

Make yourself useful for a change.

And you girls, a little smile for Papa Orinoco.

He's not such a bad egg after all.

Thomas, light a nice fire, hm?

We don't want our distinguished guests to catch a cold.

Remember, they're privileged prisoners for Mr. Jordan.

My boss orders me and I obey.

I must remember to give you a medal someday.

It's gonna be cold here shortly.

Hey, General, send a couple of you men to get some water.

So our women can have heat tonight.

And the fire will have to stay lit all night long.

Never mind the wood.

Is it a safe place here?

I thought you looked a little worried, Sergeant.

You needn't worry while I'm around.

Okay, but no tricks.

Hey, you, get some wood.

And now, kiddies, I think I'll retire for the night.

Thomas, wake me up around seven.

And don't forget the bacon and eggs and a cup of scalding hot coffee.

Oh, I'll remember, Captain.

Don't worry.

I'll be right back.

Will you stop it?

You're gonna make us all get into trouble with him.

If you feel like smooching with that guy, go ahead.

But not when you're near me.

Not when I'm near you.

So you're jealous, Lorna?

Maria, listen.

He's a good-looking boy.

I want you to stop it, you hear?

Listen, who do you think you are?

You're not bossing me around.

Where are you going?

You can't go far.

She'll get us in trouble.

I'd be afraid to, Lorna.

I'll have to go with you.

I'm going with her.

After all, you know, I am responsible for her.

That's the way, General.

And if you need anyone to help, call and I'll be right there.

Oh, man, you talk too much.

You guys have been making fun of me.

Remember, I've got a certain amount of authority.

So you better watch out or I can put you under arrest.

Listen, Sergeant, you're not arresting anybody.

I'm transporting these women.

And your job is to protect them, right?

So go ahead.

You do your job and I'll do mine.

No sense of humor.

Can I have just one pot?

Is that all you want, Maria?

Like silk.

You like it, huh?

Yes.

Let me see how it is to be a woman again.

Are you afraid?

I'm not afraid of anything.

You're going to remember this for a long time.

We'll do it right here.

Let me look at you first.

Ah, you look great.

You're just what I like.

Too bad you're with this government's police.

Why?

You're too fine.

And sweet.

Too bad.

But the government isn't bad.

The bad guys are really those revolutionaries.

But this is hardly the time to talk politics.

I'm a revolutionary.

Where are the other girls hiding?

They're camping near here with Orinoco.

Around a hundred yards away.

Be careful to do as I tell you.

That sergeant's very ill.

Hurry up.

Come on.

What's going on?

We need help.

What's all this shooting about anyway?

Wake up a man like this in his sleep is bad business.

I told you we needed help.

This man's wounded.

Put him down.

Easy.

Easy.

It's a bad wound.

Got a bullet in the shoulder.

There's little we can do for him.

Yeah.

Let me take a look at it.

It is bad.

We must extract the bullet now.

Or he might die of hemorrhage.

Do you know how to do it?

Mm-hmm.

Go ahead.

If you have anything to relieve the pain, by any chance.

Not with us.

Back to the boat, Tomas.

When Orinoco says to go back to the boat, it's like an order.

All right, come on.

Come on, we're going to go back.

Me too.

Right.

So you're Orinoco.

That's what they call me.

Moreno told me about you.

I thank you in his name.

Moreno, huh?

That old revolutionary.

I haven't seen him in ages.

Send him my regards.

Hold him still.

Clench your teeth good and tight, Paco.

That way you won't feel it so much.

Here, bite on this.

Remember, you're a revolutionary.

We need men of your strength and courage, Paco.

Just one more minute.

Just one more minute.

Give me some gauze.

Pass me the pincers right away.

And the alcohol.

All right.

Now, put your hands down.

Look the other way.

That's right.

Why do you want to look?

It's one minute more.

Listen.

I know.

I had two bullets taken out of my leg four years ago.

There we are.

I got it.

That's all there is to it.

Go on.

You've got a long day.

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

You back there, hurry up.

Follow the others.

Good on them, good on.

Move, move.

Bend your backs, come on.

You two, get on.

Move on.

Move.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Look through every inch of that mud.

If you see anything that looks like an emerald, holler.

Dig deep, deep.

You gotta work today.

Work.

Don't worry, Cesar, they'll work.

Anyone that stops is gonna feel a hot whiplash on their back.

Did you find anything there?

Yeah, mud.

Hey, wait a minute, hold it.

Here we are.

That's the way.

Keep up the good work.

You deserve a prize.

You're not through yet.

You gotta find more first.

Any one of you girls that finds a precious stone will get double rations today.

Hey, what are you doing there?

What's the matter?

What did I do?

We'll find out right now.

Margo, thought you'd get away with it, huh?

No, no, let me go.

Let me alone.

What did you hide up there?

Nothing, wait a minute.

You're hurting me.

I haven't done anything.

No?

Well, we'll see.

I can't bear it.

I can't, I can't bear it.

Oh, no.

Here, what's this?

I don't know.

I didn't put it there.

No, no.

Thank you, please.

I'll never do it again.

No, we can bet on it.

Come on, you lying bitch.

Wait till you see what's in store for you.

All right, now the show's over.

Get back to work.

Sadistic bastards.

Hey, you watch your tongue.

Have it cut out of your mouth.

I can hear you.

And no talking back either.

All right.

Well, how are you feeling, Paco?

Fine.

And to think I was about to meet my creator.

You girls saved my life.

Lorna was great.

And then looking at you makes me glad I'm still alive.

Bravo, Maria.

And now spread your wings and go to bed with him, too.

I've been aching to do this to you.

Me to you.

You must have been brought up by the virgins of the Salvation Army.

You dyke.

And you're like a bitch in heat.

You're jealous, that's all.

Did that cool you off, girls?

You better save your energy for Jordan's camp.

If I know Jordan, he'll work you real hard.

You better calm down from now on, understand?

Listen to me, girls.

It's true what he told you.

It's also true that the camp you're going to is an old

prison where Jordan will work you till you're dead.

And it isn't funny, Ruiz.

You're on a very important mission.

To free our country from all tyrants.

That's it for today.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

Move along.

All right, let's get some lead out of your ass.

Move!

Move!

Keep them close together there.

I'll tell you something important before we get to Jordan's camp.

Huh?

Could you give us the collaboration we need so we can accomplish this mission?

Oh, let's help you on it.

You heroic warriors, huh?

And you want me to answer that?

It depends on what I get.

You'll be paid very well.

Then you know my answer.

Is it yes?

Our aim is to take possession and take over Jordan's camp.

They're expecting you to arrive with the new girls, right?

My men, dressed as cops, will never be suspected.

Our prisoners, though, must be told.

I've told them.

What do they say?

They're for the revolution.

They decided to help.

They'd much rather die in battle for our cause than

wind up rotting away and dying in that damn prison.

I see visions of a terrible revolution.

Of a premonition.

Death for everyone.

And yet I see someone coming here to free us.

But now I see blood.

Too much.

So much you can't see anything else?

What if you call the spirits back?

Try, anyway.

No.

All I can see is blood and more blood.

Death and blood.

So what's the use?

Perhaps you can call it.

Let's hope.

Let's all of us hope.

A man is on his way.

The one I mentioned to you before, who's coming here to free us.

Amen, Miriam.

And may we hope this is not the end.

Our end.

May we finally enjoy our freedom.

You'd better not talk of freedom around here.

There's too much blood in the revolution.

Halt!

We stop at this station for refreshment and rest.

Let's decide what we do next.

This looks like the right place.

The camp is right over there, behind the hill.

Now I do think the ladies are tired and will want to rest a little while.

They've got to powder their little noses.

Give each girl her own bundle.

And now, the real good life begins.

Take this for me.

Take this.

Listen to me, boss.

It'd be a good idea if we sat down and rested for a bit here.

We pop in on them shooting and the camp becomes ours.

Think what a surprise it'll be for them when they see a revolutionist drop in.

Clean, unbearded and rested.

When they'll never believe it.

I want to start marching immediately and I want to get there before it gets dark.

It seems like I'm eating horse manure.

I can't eat it.

What does she put in it?

I can't imagine that dirty old lousy cook.

You'd better eat.

It's ten years I've already spent in prisons, you know.

I've learned from the beginning to eat everything they have.

My mother always told me, remember this when you're hungry.

Don't ever refuse what they give you.

I'd rather die, so what?

It's Orinoco with the new prisoners.

Here we are in the lion's den.

To think that my mother used to tell me that I ate too much.

She should see me now.

How are you feeling, hon?

A little bit better.

They gave me an aspirin.

New prisoners are arriving.

Well, Orinoco, you finally got here.

I think so.

Hi, Mr. Jordan.

That's him.

Follow me.

Come with me, Sergeant.

Well, how are things going with you here in this harem, Mr. Jordan?

Everything okay, eh?

Not bad.

It could be better.

Sergeant's with me.

He's all right.

How'd you do?

Come.

Say that.

Look after the new arrivals.

Right, sir.

We certainly had a hard trip coming over.

We were attacked last night by those damn revolutionaries.

But, thanks to Orinoco, we did all right.

It was a surprise.

We just didn't expect it.

One of our soldiers was wounded in the shoulder quite badly.

Thanks to Lorna, one of our prisoners, that soldier's alive.

She extracted that bullet like a veteran.

She was great, you know.

I'm glad to hear about it.

We do need a nurse in this camp, Sergeant.

Oh, you should have seen it.

Why, the courage this man had when those revolutionaries showed up.

It was really something.

And, naturally, I did my part.

And, of course, our soldiers also did a good job.

They fought very well, no question about that.

Those guerrillas were completely annihilated.

You can bet on that.

Come in.

I want to talk to you.

What news do you bring from the world of the living?

Same old crap.

The world can go to hell.

I don't care.

Give me my boat, my women, and plenty of cash.

You'd step on your mother's dead body for two cents.

Some respect there for my dear old mother.

You and me have worked together for years.

We know each other.

We got a lot in common.

You know something, Jordan?

I'm sure that you'd rather drop dead now before you'd let

go of a minute, I say minute little emerald you got there.

Hmm?

You've got a venomous tongue, Orinoco.

It speaks the truth.

Be careful, Sarge.

Look, but don't touch.

There's a large fortune right there on that bag.

All emeralds?

They're enormous.

According to Mr. Jordan, things could be better, he said.

They fill you with desire, huh?

Can you imagine it?

With just a few emeralds, you can solve all your problems, just think, Sarge.

I would only need one.

I'm modest.

I'll have to keep an eye on you, then.

Uh-huh.

Well, sir, I'm at your disposal, Mr. Jordan.

Several bags of those stones you'll have to transport to the company.

Now that's your job.

Don't you worry.

We'll see to it that they get there safely.

I think we'll need a larger escort, Mr. Jordan.

The guerrillas are growing in larger numbers.

Most of them have come down from the mountains.

And?

They're starting to attack with great frequency.

Every one of our boats.

Well, I'll give you around ten of our men when you return.

Tonight you'll have supper with me.

You can invite your nurse if you'd care to, Sergeant.

I'd like to meet her.

Thanks.

I appreciate that.

I don't know how you can eat this.

Calm down.

Don't cause trouble.

Louse this whole thing up.

Hey you, what's the matter?

Don't you like our menu?

Better eat or I'll skin you alive.

I'd rather be skinned alive than eat this rotten slob.

Listen, kid, only because you just got here I'm forgetting all this.

Otherwise I'll have you lapping that up with your tongue.

You, after the showers you come with me to the infirmary.

The warden wants you as our nurse.

Look, I haven't done any nursing in over ten years.

Does he know that?

You'll come, my dear, because I've ordered you to.

Do you hear?

Where's the infirmary?

You'll follow me, love.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, I just want some drinks.

So much light.

Here.

Oh.

Here I have yourself over there.

Goshi.

Oh, this is so cute.

Oh, this is... Oh, it's like... It's just... It's Eddy.

Yeah.

Alright.

What is it?

How can you call this an infirmary?

This place has to be disinfected with soap and water at least.

It's got to be clean.

This infirmary looks like a pigsty.

I don't care what it looks like.

Just get it to work.

Well, then I'd like Frida to assist me.

I'll send it to you right away.

I'll also send a couple of girls here to help you clean up.

The sick go back to work as soon as they're well.

You've got to get all new medicines.

If I'm to take this on, I want this infirmary to run exactly as it ought to.

The warden's inviting you to supper.

You can speak to him about it then.

But when?

At supper tonight.

Okay, but anything else?

When you come back, I'll call you.

Welcome to Hotel Paradise.

It must get terribly hot in these cells.

I heard strange noises, like spirits running around.

I know.

But don't worry about them now.

They're good spirits.

Soon you'll get used to the dark.

And fear will vanish.

And only hope will live in your heart.

My name's Muriel.

Will you let me try?

My name's Maria.

I'm frightened.

Don't be.

Don't think about it.

I think everybody's frightened.

We only think of freedom.

It's all we can do.

Can't we get out of here somehow?

I tried it alone.

We can't.

I don't think Jordan will suspect anything.

He guards that prison with around 30 soldiers, well armed, so we gotta be careful.

I found out what ammunition they've got.

They've got dynamite, bullets, and lots of guns.

Now a smart thing to do is to organize some of the other girls in this prison.

Aredigo spoke of a black woman here.

Her name is Muriel.

You say we can count on her to help.

I've already heard about her through Maria.

Sure, sure.

What did you hear?

Listen, that girl Maria only likes to fuck and the same thing with Muriel.

That's swell.

That means their desire is to live.

Listen, Aredigo, what's our job?

It's very important that you and Ruiz make a study of all the soldiers.

All of their actions.

Everything they do in this camp.

We have to know their every movement.

For the success of our mission, we gotta know it.

The plan I and Moreno worked out requires.

To the minutest detail, our attention and all our actions.

It's our freedom that's at stake, men.

It's worth it, isn't it?

So we have to fight for it if we want it.

The world has to get rid of its tyrants.

The same nice words.

I've been hearing them since I was a baby in my mother's arms.

Come on, you're dreaming, Laredo.

It's money that counts, that's all.

And that's why Orinoco's here.

It's the only reason.

I'm aware of that.

You'll get paid for your collaboration.

Sounds like music.

Is it clear to you now, Tomas?

He spoke of money, right?

Uh-huh.

How about you, Ruiz?

Sounds like music to me.

Dynamite is my specialty.

Then it's a deal.

We've got a perfect understanding.

Don't forget that you're guards now.

Don't forget it.

No one should know who you really are.

And no fighting at all before I tell you.

Is that clear to you all now?

Uh-huh.

Certainly, sir.

Clear as a bright summer day.

Your hands are cold.

I want to rid you of the anxiety in your eyes, Maria.

But my life is already finished, almost before it began.

No, don't say these things, Maria.

I've waited a long time for someone like you.

Maria, I... Shh, don't say anything.

Smile.

We'll have such a wonderful time.

Wonderful.

Loving each other, feeling each other near, is the only way to believe in life again.

But at the same time, it's love that sets us apart.

Now calm down, will ya?

You're making me nervous.

Sit down a minute.

tell us, what have you decided?

Are we breaking out?

We're going to run away tonight.

The night.

Now, here's what we have to do.

The night guard controls our cell every 20 minutes.

Now, it's only between those 20 minutes that we can make our escape.

And I think we can make it.

Our savior is Orinoco's boat.

We're going on it.

But who's going to drive it?

I'll make it go.

Don't worry, for Christ's sake.

I know how to drive a boat.

Listen, we've got to take some risks.

I don't care.

Where is this boat, anyway?

It must be north on the river.

Because Orinoco came from north.

Hey, Rosita, get up and come with me.

No, I didn't do anything.

Get up, I said.

Let me go, please.

Where are you taking me?

Shut up.

I'm taking you to a place that's a lot better than here.

So don't worry about it.

What are you supposed to do to her?

He wants to lay her.

However, us two.

And that asshole who's up there sleeping.

We'll make a break anyway.

Not bad tonight, eh?

It should always be like this.

What more can you want?

Orinoco is right.

You're a great host, Mr. Jordan.

A drink to your generosity and to our new friendship.

I seldom have guests, so I can't treat them badly.

Well, surely you must have visitors sometimes.

Once in a while.

Get in there.

Nosey bodies.

Excuse me, Mr. Jordan.

This is the rat that's been stealing in the kitchen.

We just caught her red-handed.

What do we do with her?

Put her in solitary?

She's pretty used to it by now.

Strange.

They eat a lot here.

The food's good and abundant.

We'll take care of her later.

Now leave us in peace.

Please, sir.

I won't do it anymore.

I swear.

Come on, boo.

May I go now, sir?

Because I gotta get up bright and early tomorrow morning

to prepare and clean up that room at the infirmary.

You may go if you like.

You will also have all the material and medicines you need.

No, I don't want you to keep any of the patients any longer than you have to.

You want me to take her back to her cell, sir?

Well, I did bring her here.

All right, I'll make her your responsibility.

I wouldn't want her to get any strange ideas, though.

Because it's impossible to escape out of this can.

Let's imagine she does escape.

What then?

She gets swallowed up in the swamp.

So I'm entrusting the prisoner to your care.

Remember, Laredo, you're responsible.

Good night.

Oh, for a nice warm bed.

We had a real nice supper.

It was splendid.

Yep.

Well, I must have had around 20 glasses of wine to drink.

Oh, no, you surprised me.

Don't tell me you're going to bed before having a nightcap.

Yeah, that's right.

My doctor's orders.

You shouldn't drink too much wine, he says.

I used to drink a lot of wine when I was younger.

One night I laid four girls and I was drunk.

Then how about this one now?

Jordan, Jordan.

You know how I like them.

Remember the one with the great big boobies on her?

You remember.

Ninety-nine.

You've got a lot of courage, Muriel.

All the girls listen to you, right?

Yes, they believe in me.

I don't bow down to nobody.

As long as I have my courage, I'll fight.

And to fight for their freedom and yours, would they help you?

Help?

What do you mean?

Listen, we were brought here by revolutionaries disguised as soldiers.

Do you understand, Muriel?

Is this a joke?

No.

Then the spirits didn't lie to me after all.

You spoke of fighting for freedom, so our dream will come to life.

The men out there, they're ready, I tell you.

Tell me about them.

One night at our bivouac, they surprised us.

They made out they were soldiers with Oronoca's consent.

They did away with the real soldiers.

If we help them, Muriel, they'll help us too.

If it's for freedom, sure.

I will do everything you say, Maria.

I want you to organize the girls.

The sergeant will coordinate our actions and give us our orders.

Can we believe in him?

Entirely.

Because he's Laredo.

Is he?

Are you sure?

I'm positive he is.

He's our friend.

And he's Moreno's right arm.

Our revolution.

I've longed for it.

Our revolution.

Well now, Rosita.

Tell me.

What news do you bring me this time?

Gee, love, the girls are going to escape.

They said they're going to steal Oronoca's boat.

Are you sure of what you're saying?

Certainly, sir.

They're planning to do it tonight.

Don't ask me to betray any of my cellmates.

It's a terrible thing to be a spy.

You furnish me with, shall we say...

information of certain interest to me and I'll continue...

I'll continue to be nice to you.

Take her away.

Come on.

Inanis, remember.

I want them alive.

Then bring them here to me.

I'm still too short of workers.

I'll do all I can, sir.

That Rosita.

She didn't return.

I can't wait any longer.

This will help us to open up the lock.

What do we do when we're in the hall?

It's all very simple.

We'll get out.

There's nothing to worry about.

Wake her up, Julia.

Dory, wake up!

Dory!

What is it?

Hurry, we gotta go.

All right, I'm coming with you.

Hurry up, then.

Follow me.

Right here.

There's an opening.

Come on.

Open the door with your fan.

Who?

The guard.

So far, so good.

But the important thing is not to get panicky.

Understand?

Uh-huh.

The first sign of danger, we separate and try to make it alone to the river.

Okay.

All right.

Let's go.

Once we're in the forest, it'll be safer.

Oh, that's the end of the line.

It was a short ride for you little dolls.

They'll have to go back to poor things.

Mr. Jordan doesn't want you to leave.

He can't do without you, he said.

So he's arranged a nice reception for you gals.

No, we're not going back.

Damn it.

He wanted him alive.

Well, we'll bring him the leader.

Have some wine, Freda?

Here.

You know I can be very nice to you if you'll be nice to me.

You can be sure about that.

Well, what do you say, dear?

Do you want me to love you, Freda?

Your skin is so delicate and smooth.

Hard work and privation must not mar your sweet young body.

Look at Margot.

She was one of you, and she was very nice to me.

And I repaid her by restoring to her a woman's dignity.

Now I can do the same for you.

If you want.

It's going to be wonderful.

You'll see.

I don't want you to touch me.

You're repulsive to me.

Don't you ever dare to speak to me like that again.

Do you hear?

I'm repulsive.

You don't want me to touch you.

Take it easy.

Then maybe you prefer this whip.

Well, get rid of the bat.

You're going to regret this, Freda.

Get on the table.

No woman refuses Jordan who lives.

No!

No!

No!

Let me kiss your tits.

Do you know who I am?

No!

No!

Stop!

You slut!

I'll have you if it's the last thing I do.

Faster!

Cesar!

Cesar!

Let me go, you dirty slut!

Mr. Jordan!

Hold her!

Cesar!

Leave her to me.

Let me go, you little bitch!

You bitch!

You've never been laid.

What are you, a virgin or something?

Faster!

Cesar!

Mr. Jordan!

We'll soon find out if you're a thug.

Okay, shove it up.

Nice.

How are you feeling, Paco?

A little better, thanks.

I think I'll be needing another clean bandage.

Sweet, learned a little flame in your heart, huh?

Yeah, well, maybe she has.

I don't know.

As long as the wound keeps bleeding.

Hey, listen here.

This boy sounds pretty serious.

Little joker.

Moronoku's always in great shape.

Yep.

As we all should be.

See you later, boys.

And meditate on those five cadavers out there.

They could have been ours.

Remember that.

Lorna, why so serious?

What's the matter?

Anything wrong?

Frida and Maze were put underground.

Underground?

During the night, the guards came and took

them to Jordan's barracks as per his orders.

And naturally, Margo was there.

And those sadistic bastards repeated their usual orgies and perversions.

And if the girls don't cooperate, they get tortured with incredible brutality.

Tell Margo to bring some medicines.

All right.

Can you test her?

Of course, don't worry.

You can't imagine what happened to Maze.

Maze?

She's one of the two girls Jordan raped with an iron rod.

Can you imagine pushing it up inside her?

Oh, God.

She yelled so much and cried out for help so terribly loud.

You couldn't hear, I suppose.

No, I'm too far away.

And no one could prevent it.

Lorna, listen.

That man's a sadist.

It's for bastards like him that our country's

oppressed and all our people are suffering.

The time has come.

We're going to free ourselves of these tyrants.

I'm scared, but I'm with you, Laredo.

We're all scared.

But our hope for freedom, Lorna, will give us the courage and strength we need.

Strange.

What could that be at this hour?

Whatever it be, it won't be very promising.

No doubt it's not gonna be too pleasant for somebody.

They're preparing to show something we're all invited to.

What could it be?

A surprise?

And what a surprise you'll see.

If

she was always so upset with us.

I'm sure you're amazed and you're all wondering why that girl was put up there.

This prisoner attempted to run out of our camp.

And the other girls with her were unfortunately killed.

And for what, for the love of the Almighty, are they better off dead?

There's gratitude.

Where could they find it better?

This prison gave them the chance to redeem their way to freedom.

That damn Rosita sold her friends for a double plate of soup.

Muriel, I'm going to get even with her.

I swear to you.

Uh-uh.

No personal grudges, I told you.

You're not to forget the rules, understand, Muriel?

It's not a personal thing.

...disobey my wishes and demands, will be punished severely.

Now I doubt that anyone here will dare to try what Gila did.

Because she's nothing but a rebel, a stupid

rebel that doesn't deserve any compassion.

She may return and go back to work with the rest of you.

And she asked forgiveness for what she's done.

Those girls under the ground, bring them here, right away.

God.

Lift up the grating.

Hey you two, come on out.

Let's go.

Up with you.

Get the other one and make it snappy.

Come on, walk.

Get a move on, you're holding up the works.

Whip them hard, sister.

I want to see their blood.

Harder, sister.

Harder.

Harder.

I can't stand it.

You're killing her.

You son of a bitch.

You dirty son of a bitch.

Let me have her, Cesar.

This one's mine.

This one's for me.

This one here.

You sadistic bastard.

Oh, no.

No.

Put out that whip.

Put out that whip or I'll kill your guard.

Leave him to me.

He's mine.

It's my responsibility.

Fool.

Now he's yours.

Put the soldier under the ground.

Grab him.

You'll regret this.

Let me go.

Yeah, we'll let you go.

We'll make you wish you were dead.

In the morning, I'll have that soldier shot for high treason.

Thanks, Sergeant.

Put him down in the hole where he belongs.

All right.

Let's go.

I'll send you some money and do your job for the guy that's white.

Will you learn the lesson?

Show's over.

I was informed that in a couple of days, there will arrive about twenty men.

I asked for these reinforcements a month ago.

Now, at last, they'll be here.

Looks good, sir.

It's hard to believe it.

Something I'll never forget.

Don't think about it.

I will never forget it.

I know how you feel.

We'll have our revenge.

Let's pray it will be very soon for us, Frieda.

I had to do that to Pano.

I had no choice.

We can't be too careful.

I thought he was going to spoil everything.

I've got to get him out of there as soon as I can.

He'll die if he stays there much longer.

The time is right for the revolt.

We must go and inform the others to be ready.

I'm ready.

We're all ready.

Something's happened to me after what I saw here.

You revolutionaries should get rid of people like Jordan.

Because they're sick in the head.

That's right.

Good morning, sir.

What's the matter?

Don't you knock anymore?

What do you want?

Sir, I want to be transferred.

How come?

Haven't we been treating you right?

The reason is that I don't like torturing.

You mean that we, a leader that uses his power

to torture anyone, is just a coward, sir.

And I'm not a coward.

I understand, Hernandez.

Take a good look at these emeralds.

Look at them in the light.

What do you think of them, Hernandez?

You can't buy me, sir.

Thanks.

Get rid of the cadavers, Cesar.

I can't stomach the sight of blood so early in the morning.

You were a fool.

Nothing but a fool.

What you did was crazy and dangerous.

And for what?

You could have gotten us all into trouble.

Just because you can't stand to see the sight of blood on anybody's tender skin.

I can't stand to see other people suffering.

You fool.

Compassion and warmth are empty words to us now.

And our heart's pity, Maria, seeks in vain for some warmth.

We've got to react with violence.

Don't you believe in Laredo?

Of course I believe in him.

I also believe in destiny.

So why not let it take its course?

This fight is going to be bloody and cruel.

Many of us will die.

But those of us who will live will rejoice for our victory.

And will smile at last for the freedom we want it so.

Pablo, I came to relieve you.

Good.

Way to get some sleep.

All's peaceful.

Yeah.

I'll lift a blanket for you if it gets cold.

Fine.

Thanks a lot.

Ruiz, you've taken care of the tower guard.

Right.

It's all clear.

Go on.

Rest in peace.

Let's get out of here.

Run.

Ruiz.

Let's go.

Sure.

You.

Do you hear something?

I don't know.

I thought I did.

See anything moving?

Hey boys, how do you like your drink?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Go on.

Drink up.

You get yours too.

Don't worry.

Come on, hurry, here.

There's nothing better than a good drink this time of night.

You can't get any women around here.

They're all locked up safely in their cells.

How was that, eh?

Good, all right, good to the last drop.

You all right?

Oh, I'm just fine.

Get me out of here.

But now, Paco, this isn't the right time yet.

We'll come and get you, but you can bet on it.

Don't worry, Paco, please don't worry, you hear?

Just get me out of here.

To open up the lock to let you out, I'd have to shoot it off with my gun.

Then the whole place would wake up.

So have patience.

I'll see you later.

Wait.

Go.

Somebody's coming this way.

You two did all right, eh?

You better, amigo.

Do we have to wait much longer before this fiesta begins?

At sunup, they'll be dancing galore for you.

And a bunch of emeralds.

You betcha.

You made me ejaculate.

I like it much better when the agony sets out.

Guard!

Fire!

Fire!

The barracks are on fire!

Get the emergency squad!

Frida.

Wake up, Frida.

What is it?

They're a vault?

Yes, they're just beginning to.

Hurry up!

Quick!

To the barracks!

Frida!

Come here, you Judas!

Huh?

Judas!

You betrayed your friend!

Help!

They're coming!

What's going on?

The prisoners are attempting an escape.

It's a revolt!

Marie, I've got a job for you.

Get to Ruiz.

He'll tell you what to do.

Take him this match and cigar.

Ladies, hurry!

Hurry!

Here, come with me.

Ruiz.

Light this dynamite and throw out those sons of bitches while I climb up that tower.

You've got to keep me covered, understand?

Go on.

Get back here, sweetheart.

What are you doing?

Running practice for the World Olympics?

Sure, with this dynamite.

You're a brave kid.

I like you, Marie.

It's a glorious day for us today.

You're a brave kid.

Now, go on and pop off that dynamite.

You sons of bitches.

Hi-yah!

I'll show you.

Jordan, you fiend!

You are going to die!

Die!

Muriel Maria and Thomas Wright.

Where

do we get out of this, Muriel?

Freedom.

Are you using the dynamite?

Naturally.

How else can I open it?

When it's lit, please don't forget to tell me.

I will.

Don't worry.

It's lit!

Let's go, quick!

The emeralds!

They're mine!

The emeralds!

Margo, this is the end!

The end of you tyrants!

The end of you tyrants!

The end of you tyrants!

The end of you tyrants!

Maria!

Our wonderful dream...

Of liberty, Laredo!

Our...

Our... Our liberty!

Maria, we've won.

We won, I tell you.

I never appreciated her.

She was the best of them all.

She was a good girl.

A real patriot.

All of you girls have been wonderful.

I'll never forget what you've done.

And Maria's death will be like a symbol for us.

Her sacrifice for our freedom.

Hey, Loredo!

Look what I got here!

It was worth fighting for your revolution!

Sure!

These bags are filled with emeralds!

This is what I want!

This is a perfect compensation!

It's mine!

All mine!

They belong to the revolution.

Respect our contract.

Why, sure.

What did I do, Loredo?

Didn't I respect it?

You said I'd be paid, didn't you, after I'd helped

you get rid of old Jordan and the rest of his tyrants?

Will you take that pistol away?

None of your tricks, Arinoco.

Let's have them.

Attaboy.

You're not fair.

Didn't I keep my part of the bargain?

Listen, friend.

You agreed with me to go further.

You're a difficult guy, Loredo.

Honest.

I fought real hard.

You were there.

We agreed you were going to escort us all the way

back to the river and then back home on your boat.

Remember?

Why, I lost one of my best sailors.

You make use of my boat and don't even give me a pebble.

What else do you want from me?

This is great.

I appreciate this.

You're really generous, Loredo.

I'll be right with you.

I have to go and get my things.

I'll be back in a jiffy!
