Ha ha ha ha ha!

What's the trouble,
por favor?

Do you speak English?

Yes. sir.

What's happening?

Oh, this
farrago...

Oh, is
the president here?

Oh, no. señora.

He's the brother of the president.

What's he done?

He insult
the player.

They hate him
for that?

Oh, no, senor.

They hate him because he is the brother

Of the president
Raoul Farrago.

Farrago!

You all right?

Let's get out
of this place.

Grande Hotel...
El Grande Hotel.

Hola. Hola.

Is everything all
right, Dr. Ferguson?

Oh, yes.

Now, that is good.

Hello. Room 204.

I have your bill ready
for you. señor doctor.

Thank you.

Hello, Helen?

Yes. Well, come on.
Are you all set?

Certainly. I've got
the bags in the car,

And I'm just about
to pay the bill.

Huh? Uh... wait a minute.
What were you saying. dear?

No. no, there's
somebody on the line.

Hello. will you please
hang up, señor?

Who? Yes. Yes, this
is Dr. Eugene Ferguson.

Long-Distance?

No, no, I was speaking
with my wife.

What? Colonel who?

Will you please tell the operator
to reconnect me with room 204?

Certainly.

Thank you.

Señor doctor, el
colonel Adragon...

he wishes to speak to
you from long-Distance.

I was speaking
with my wife.

I know, but he is a
colonel of the military.

That doesn't give him
the right to be rude.

But, señor, you will
speak with him, yes?

No.

Hola, colonel?

Hola...

I'm disconnected.

Good. Now get me
room 204 again, please.

Hello. darling.
Never mind.

Looks deserted,
doesn't it?

Yeah. As far as
I can gather,

Since the bombing, all those
who could leave town have left.

Is it safe
to travel by car?

Ah, si, señora. It is
perfectly all right.

Your change,
senor doctor.

Thank you.

Did you pay the man
in dollars. darling?

Yes, I paid him
in dollars.

I thought you were going to
insist on changing dollars.

No, I've given that up. It's
never going to work in this-

But, please, let me explain to you

The law about dollars and pesos.

Si. Ah,
señor doctor.

Aga¡n, it is colonel Adragon.

I've never
heard of him.

But he demands to talk with you.

What for?

Oh, please,
señor doctor.

Tell you what you do.

My wife suggested you
explain to him

The law about pesos
and dollars. Good-Bye.

Adios.

Well, I suppose you're anxious
to know which way we're heading.

No, no.
Anywhere you say-

Except no more
jai alal games, huh?

Yeah. I guess if they're going
to have trouble down here,

We better head back
to the ship.

Now, that's
not a bad idea.

You mean, so that you can
spend the rest of our vacation

Shopping on
fifth avenue. huh?

You're the boss.

Now, you know that's what you've
been dying to do all along.

I didn't know it showed.

Do you really mind
very much?

I wouldn't dare
say yes.

I guess I'm not
the outdoor type after all.

Sometimes I wonder why
you ever married me.

Come here.

Because I love you
that's why.

Few other doctors
can make that statement.

Que?

May we pass by? We're
trying to get to our ship.

What's that?

Maybe he wants to
see our passports.

Si, si,
pasaportes.

Passports?
Ok.

Por que... um...
por que...

how do you say
"trouble"?

Eugene:
you got me.

Dr. Ferguson?

Si.
Dr. Ferguson!

You're señor Ferguson.

Gracias.

Oh...

wait!
Our passports!

Now what have
you done?

Colonel.

What's the trouble?
What have I done?

Better not make
any trouble, gene.

Just a moment.

Do you speak English?

This man...
the automobile.

I think he wants us
to get in.

Oh... if we're going
to be arrested,

I'd like to know why.

Dr. Ferguson
y señora?

Si.
Si.

Colonel
Adragon.

How do you do?

Buenas noches.

Is it all there?

I think so.

Are you sure
this is the same man

Who cut in on
the phone this morning?

Well, I'm sure it was
a colonel somebody,

And I'm sure of
another thing.

This is
not a mistake.

They were
looking for us.

It was us they were
waiting for on that road.

Now, why?

Maybe they think
we're spies

Or revolutionists
or something.

Oh, that's silly.

Maybe we're being
kidnapped.

That's not so s¡silly.

No agua.

Oh...

no. Aqua.

Si.

Gracias.

No. no. señor.

No?

Gracias.

Mucho gusto.

Pardon me.

Man: buenos dias.

Upon careful
consideration

In the cold light
of morning,

My dislike of you
has doubled,

And I think
you're lying

When you pretend not
to understand me.

Cafe?

Good morning.

New mouthwash?

Moonshine rinse.

Where did you get
the coffee?

I swiped it.

Oh...

here.

Thank you, darling.
Where are we?

Way up here.

Isn't it beautiful
down there?

If it's so
beautiful down there,

Why did they
bring us way up here?

Now, that's one of the most
logical things I've heard

For quite
some time. Here.

Better?

Can you make it?

No.

All right,
let's try this.

Put your hand around
there. Put your head back.

Adios.

Adios.
Muchas gracias.

Oh, looks like
we're getting in.

Oh, it does.

How do you feel?

Oh, I feel fine.

No. I don't.
I'm kind of scared.

Well, they're certainly
glad to see us here.

From the bulletproof glass,
they must expect that often.

Did you notice how
he tried to protect you?

He thinks
I'm prettier than you.

You must admit
that your company

Has made millions from
the oil of my country.

We are your friends, Mr.
Proctor. Your only friends.

Now we need help.

I'm sorry, señora.

Sorry? That is not enough.

My hands are tied.

What is it?

We will discuss
this later.

Yes. We will
discuss this later.

Thank god
you could come.

Mrs. Ferguson... I am very
honored and grateful, doctor.

Oh, this is a countryman of
yours, Mr. Samuel proctor.

Señor Arturo Magano,

Our finance
minister.

Welcome.

Of course, you have
met colonel Adragon.

We seem to have met
everyone but you.

Forgive me.

The señora never thinks of herself...

never.

I am Isabel Farrago. The
president is my husband.

Now will you please explain
why we were arrested,

Held prisoners
like criminals.

Colonel,
is this the truth?

I was afraid he would not come, so I-

Oh, I... I'm
terribly sorry.

I apologize for myself and for him,

But you see,
he wanted only

To save his president's life.

Oh, your
husband's dying?

Of a sick brain.
yes.

You will
save him.

Why me?

Well, as long as
you are here.

Gene.

My business is oil,

But I am sort of unofficial
ambassador around here

For American tourists.

I probably can be
of service to you.

Señora.

Perhaps I'd better
look at your husband.

Isabel: thank you.

We tried other
hospitals.

One doctor
was too busy.

Another one
refused for...

various reasons.

We contacted Johns Hopkins hospital.

They said you were
in our country.

But there are excellent
surgeons here in Latin America-

Better ones than I.

You are very modest.

I am never modest.

There's a well-Equipped
neurosurgical hospital

Just across the border
from here.

Well, I shall be frank with you, doctor.

Some of our neighbors
are not exactly friendly.

This is our family
physician, Dr. Nierra.

Dr. Ferguson. This is Mrs. Ferguson.

It is an honor,
doctor.

Some people want my husband to die.

Not a doctor.

In that case,
doctor,

There is no excuse not to save him,

Is there?

Doctor.

I will show Mrs. Ferguson to your rooms.

Raoul, this is
el Dr. Ferguson.

El presidente
Farrago.

So. you have come.

Welcome.

Thank you.

This is
my chief of staff,

General Valdini.

A pleasure
and an honor, doctor.

The general was just trying
to explain how my army,

Equipped with tanks
and machine guns,

Cannot destroy a few
revolutionaries

Equipped with machetes
and ancient rifles.

Are you interested
in tactics, doctor?

Well. it seems the enemy is
attacking us from the rear.

Perhaps, general,
if our soldiers

Turned their faces
to the enemy.

There would be
less rear to attack.

For this kind of a fight,
you do not need maps.

You only need
courage.

To me. doctor, you do not
look like a brain surgeon.

No? What should
I look like?

Emilio tells me that
you are a genius.

Are you really one.

Or is your
competition so poor

That you
only seem one?

I am a genius

Because I have removed all competition.

Emilio says that a tumor
is swallowing my brain.

Is it?

I don't know.

Ah... the first
sign of genius.

How often do you have
those headaches?

Hold out your arms,
please-

Straight out
in front of you.

Now close your eyes,
please.

Keep that right one up.

No, no, no.
Don't lower the left.

Ack!

Has this sort of seizure
happened before?

Yes.

The same kind of
dreamy state?

Yes.

Often?

In the last week,
several times.

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Open your eyes. please.

Raise your left arm.

Lower it.

Good. Now the right one.

Now lower it.

Did you see
anything strange,

Something you
couldn't account for?

Yes.

I knew
they weren't there,

But I saw them
just the same.

There... people...

friendly people
waving to me.

Smiling, cheering.

That's right.

Now close your right eye.
Keep the left one open.

Fix your gaze right here.

Now tell me when my hand
comes into your line of vision.

Now.

Open that eye,
close the other one.

Now.

Keep your gaze fixed here.

Now.

Here at all?

No.

Yes.

Have you an
ophthalmoscope?

Thank you.

There is
great pressure.

Yes.

It is the tumor.

Yes.

Can he live without
an operation?

Not much chance.

Will he live after
an operation?

I don't know.

Well, headache
still there?

Tired and sleepy?

So, you have decided
to save my life.

I didn't say that.

But you are
going to operate.

We'll see.

How do I know
I can trust you?

You don't.

Hi.

Well, doctor?

Madam, I'd advise flying
your husband to Boston

Or to the institute of
neurosurgery in Chile.

Impossible.

If you start now,
you may save his life.

He cannot
leave here now.

Why not?

Because he has
certain duties.

Is there hot water
for a bath. dear?

Helen: yes.

If my husband were to leave
here now, the people might-

No, no.
He cannot leave.

In that case,
he'll probably die.

Can't you help him?

Excuse me, dear.

He didn't mean it
the way it sounded.

If he would only try.
That is all we ask.

Help me, senora.

He must decide
these things for himself.

No, it is his duty!

Even a simple brain operation-And
this one isn't simple-

Requires every possible
break, the best equipment,

Highly trained
assistants.

You shall have them. Please. Please!

Gene.

All right.

How soon?

In a few days.

Why not immediately?

Further
examinations.

There's no time
for that.

Madam Farrago, I don't know
how well you run your country,

But I'd never presume to advise you.

I expect the same consideration
concerning my work.

Yes, doctor.

Another thing
- I want our passports and our car returned.

Your colonel kept them.

Anything else?

My fee.

I usually charge 10%
of a patient's income...

but in our case,
sir-

Regardless of
how little he earns.

Whatever you say,
doctor.

Thank you.

I hope he does not
change his mind.

Why should he?

Oh, people talk.

It is easy
to defame a leader.

Here, it is
even a sport.

You are interested
in politics. señora?

Only on election day.

Ha ha!
It is better so.

Thank you.

How could you have
mentioned money?

Why not? They've
got plenty of it.

Oh, are those
my shorts, clean? Good.

You know how
people say that

Americans think of
nothing but money.

Ha!

When aid you make up
your mind to operate?

When I saw
his condition.

You should have
told her right away.

What?

There's a vicious streak
in you somewhere.

Women are always mistaking
honesty for cruelty.

It had better be us.

"Doctor,
save my husband. "

Ah, it's a little more
involved than that.

The man is dying,

And he won't go where
he can be saved. Why?

Other surgeons
evade coming here. Why?

We've been shot at. Why?

The way this place
is protected by soldiers,

Our popular presidente
isn't too popular.

Well, having met
him, I know why.

What?

You know, Helen, this isn't
just an operation, dear.

It's a national crisis, and
we're caught in the middle of it.

We don't know the language.
We've got no friends here.

We have few legal rights because
the country's under martial law.

All right, operate.

Do the best that can be done
under the circumstances.

Suppose he dies anyway.

Have you thought what
could happen to us then?

Then don't do it.

I've got to. I've
already committed myself.

What I object to is
the choice wasn't mine.

I dislike force of
any kind by anybody.

Nobody's forcing you
to do anything.

Buenas tardes.

Buenas
tardes.

And a good afternoon
to you.

Dr. Ferguson,
Dr. Gracian.

How do you do?

Mucho gusto.

Do you expect me
to operate here?

What's the matter
with your hospital?

I was told
it is better here.

But not safer.

The bedroom of the
presidente is in there.

To move him from
there to here is safer,

Much safer, than is to move
him through the streets.

Could you call him,
please?

The wrong tip.

You can take
this machine out.

We have the finest
instruments for the army.

Mm-Hmm. What about the
surgeons to go with these?

We had one. He was
trained in Vienna.

Politically,
he was...

so, at the moment,
he's dead.

Good evening.

You send for me,
I come.

Remove all the furniture
and comb the room down.

Yes, doctor.

Everything-
Curtains, carpets, books-

Strip it.

For assistance, I'll need
two good nurses who can scrub.

And anesthetist,
two doctors.

And a circulating nurse.

I have already
talked with them.

They know your reputation, so
they are honored to assist you.

They also know
my reputation,

So they are very, very
anxious to save my life.

How are you feeling?

Friendly, my friend.

You will have some wine with
us before dinner, Emilio?

Dr. Gracian and I have
much work to do here.

You see how
I regard you.

You tell me
to sleep, I sleep.

You tell me
to come, I come.

I am very obedient.

A good patient, yes?

This is my mother.

Señora.

And you have met
colonel A dragon.

To me, he is very loyal.

To me,
he is obnoxious.

Good evening.

She does not
speak English.

She rarely
speaks at all.

She does not
trust words.

She is 71 years old.

And she had her
last child when she was 48.

This was not so remarkable.

But my father was
almost 80.

This made it
very remarkable.

Wine?

No, thank you.

When I got sick, she had
all the mirrors covered up.

She was afraid that
if I looked into it.

The mirror would snatch away
my image. and I would die-

An old Indian
or Spanish superstition.

Do you speak Spanish?

A few words.

I had to learn how to say,
"how much does it cost?"

"That's too much, "
"where is the washroom, "

And "thank you. "

A practical beginning.

I have made a law.

Everybody must learn
to speak English,

And why?

Because the Americans do not wish

To learn Spanish.

So, if the money will
not come to the mountain.

The mountain will
come to the money.

You do not like
my little Joke.

No.

I shall think of some
better ones during dinner.

That's what I wanted
to see you about.

My wife and I
are not dining here.

But here is the best
food anywhere.

I'm sn expert
on eating...

also drinking.

We've already accepted
an invitation.

Easily arranged.

Your friends,
they shall eat here.

No.

Something troubles
you, doctor?

Yes. I will not stand being
followed around and spied on.

I insist on freedom.

Freedom to do what?

Just freedom.

I see.

May I ask who
your dinner host is?

No.

I'm only trying
to protect you.

If you go out
in the streets...

I have
certain enemies.

I consider your people
my friends.

You are right,
of course.

Come and go
as you like.

But please be
careful, my friend.

After all, if anything happens to you,

It also happens
to me.

Señora.

You know, that's the first
rule of being a good patient.

Always wish your doctor
perfect health.

Good night.

Pardon me.

1, 800 miles of oil pipes.

Thank you.

Some of the places were so
rough, we had to fly it in.

4 years of work before
we pumped one barrel of oil.

What happens to you
if the revolution breaks?

Regardless of who
runs the country,

They need us as much
as we need them.

After all, they get
30% of the profits.

Well, the country ought to
be able to do a lot with that.

Yeah, trouble is instead
of helping the people.

Those profits go into a Swiss
bank in the name of Farrago.

I see.

Was that phone
for me?

El secretario el
presidente Farrago.

Si, señor.

That will be all,
thank you.

Yes. sir.

How about some brandy
with your coffee?

No, thank you.

We have a very fine
native liquor.

Why don't you try some?

Oh. Excuse me, dear.

Of course.

Want some advice?

Forget
the operation.

Get out of
the country tonight.

Is there
that much danger?

I think so.

What about the American
embassy? What do they think?

Sometimes they move
after the fact.

No, thanks.

I'll arrange for
a car and a driver.

You can leave
tonight from here.

Uh-Uh, I can't do that.
The man will die.

Doctors' ethics
are all right.

Do you know Farrago
- Really know him?

He's 44 years old,

Weighs 80 kilograms.
blood pressure a little high,

Heart and lungs normal.

He has a meningioma
of the left temporal lobe.

He's a fair risk
for anesthesia.

What else ought I to know that
could affect the prognosis?

Several things.

Most important is the
temper of these people here.

Shall I get you
a brandy, dear?

Oh, am I still here?

Ha ha!

I don't think
he realizes

How deeply involved
you may become.

How would you like the
woman's angle on all this?

Please.

All right. It's typical
after-Dinner men talk.

I've heard it ever since
I was... so high.

Eugene: there you are.

Thank you.

What is there about
marriage that makes men

Talk about war
and politics and taxes?

Maybe it's because
they're always with us.

They're not
always with you

When you're trying to get
a girl into... marriage.

Proctor:
thank you.

Coffee, darling?

No, thank you.

You wouldn't believe this
was a vacation, would you?

Land of gay music
and happy people.

Isn't that what the travel folder said?

Oh, yes, that's
what they said,

But, darling, you can hardly
blame me for this revolution.

But, darling, you don't
have to enjoy it so.

Now, there must be
someplace around here

Where people are
having some fun.

Or is it
against the law

For married people
to enjoy themselves?

You win. No contest.

I know just
the place to go.

Plenty of
local color.

You're not angry,
are you?

Uh-Huh.

Well I-

Did I talk too much?

Mm-Hmm.

Well then why didn't
you shut me up?

Well. that's what
I'm trying to do.

Oh. That woman's
angle of yours,

I liked that.

Man: bravo!

Please excuse me,
señor.

My name is Gonzales.

How do you do?

I am nobody. This is my
friend Guillermo Cariago.

He is somebody.

The most famous,
the greatest.

The best guitarist
in the entire world.

He has a desire
to meet you.

Oh? How do you do?

How do you do?

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

You-You have heard of him. perhaps?

Well, I'm sure
I must have.

It is of
no matter, doctor.

But he has
heard of you.

Oh?

Everybody has
heard of you.

One hour after
you come,

You are the
biggest news

Since the earthquake... bigger.

Bigger news, bigger catastrophe.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, no offense,
señor.

Is it true that
you are going to

Save the life
of this tyrant?

How does that concern you?

You speak
as a doctor. perhaps.

Well, I am a musician,

And I have not played since
the beginning of this tyranny.

And I will never
play here again

Until my people
are free.

He tells you the
truth. doctor.

One tyrant alive. one guitar dead.

Please, doctor,
go away.

Do not do this thing.

Gonzales: he's
a romantic.

Doctors must operate, Guillermo.

Otherwise, they
would be poor.

But when you have the presidente

With his head
open,

One little slip of the knife... tsst!

And who will
know. huh?

Guillermo: I do not
ask that you kill.

To kill, one must have
the belly for this,

But it is Farrago's time to die.

He is an artist,
a genius.

But not practical. huh?

In front of the world
where everybody's watching,

You must do what
is expected. Guillermo.

Honor is a great thing.

But once inside of
the brain... finished.

You have done your duty
as a doctor, and as a man.

A hero in
every way. huh?

Oh, this is
Rosa el Dona,

The wife of
the proprietor,

Also very
talented.

Señora.

A very fine
gentleman.

We are advising him how to operate.

Uh...

she wants to know why you interfere.

Let him die.

She says perhaps it would be better

If the doctor
would die.

Another doctor
might come.

A cemetery could be
built just for doctors.

Huh?

Darling,
this is señora Rosa...

how do you do?

Señor Gonzales,
senor...

señor Cariago.

Hello.

My wife.
Mr. Proctor.

Señora.

Excuse us,
señora.

We are making a good-Neighbor policy.

Señor Cariago is
the famous guitarist.

Didn't I hear you
play in New York?

Probably.

Would you play for us?

I'm sorry.

He's given up
his music.

You could make him play again. doctor.

Helen: I'm a very
appreciative audience.

Play, Guillermo.

Play. Make the
first payment

On the tyrant's
death.

Man: silencio!

Muchas gracias, amigo.

Good evening, doctor.

Señora, are you having
a pleasant time?

I did not wish
for this to happen.

I am sorry.

I came here because it
is not safe here for you.

You will leave now, yes?

It would be better
if you left also.

Why?

Why? Because
it will be necessary

To arrest some
of these people.

Why?

There are many laws.

Take my word for it.
They can be arrested.

They must be.

You mean
it's your duty?

Yes, absolutely
my duty.

Well, then,
go ahead.

But you'll have
to arrest me, too.

Whatever they've
done, I've done.

I might add,
colonel,

That I should
resist arrest.

That means you'll
either have to shoot me,

Or slap me
unconscious.

You're quite good
at that.

However, if that
should happen to me,

You know what will
happen to your boss.

Now go ahead
and do your duty.

I'll only be
a moment, dear.

Ole! Ole!

All: ole!

Now, that may be
a bad bruise.

I wish there was something
more I could do about it.

There is something you
can do for all of us.

Good night.
Good night.

How did
the rehearsal go?

Well, not too bad
for the first day.

However, they still
need a lot of work.

ah, dear.

I better give him
something to quiet him down.

Will he live,
doctor?

I still say get him
to a hospital.

It requires too much
teamwork, combined technique.

Suppose we get
into a hemorrhage

And the clips haven't
been set right.

All right.
Tomorrow morning at 8:00

We start practicing again.

Please tell them all
thanks for me.

See you later, doctor.

Yes?

Oh, this is
Father del Puento.

El Dr. Ferguson.

Tanto gusto.

How do you do,
father? Well...

what is that?

Roll up
your sleeve.

It's dangerous for you to get excited.

This will put
you to sleep.

Everybody wants me to do
something I don't want to do.

That's right.

Why should I sleep
when I'm not sleepy?

When you wake up,
you'll know.

All right.

Well, father...

I understand the English
better than I speak.

Oh.

How is it in
north America, doctor?

Does not the church
respect authority?

It respects
the law, yes.

Well. I am the law.

Not god's law.

God and I are
on very good terms.

He prefers me to
the revolutionaries.

Señor doctor.

Señor presidente.

I asked him to have a day
of prayer for my health.

Is that so much?

If he is against me,
he is against the country.

If he is against the
country. he is a traitor.

I sm surrounded by traitors.
Do you know that, doctor?

All around me,
nobody I can trust.

Even the savior
was better off.

Out of 12, only
one was a traitor.

Whom can I trust?

Except you.

Hmm...

last night,
where did you go?

You know where I went.
You had me followed.

What did you hear
about me?

That you're a tyrant.

That I ought
to let you die.

They think
I'm afraid to die.

Aren't you?

Me?

I'm only afraid
to die badly.

Why do they think
you should kill me?

Because
I'm an American.

Ah, they are stupid.

Are they?

To them, America
means freedom.

I'm American.
You are a tyrant.

Therefore, it follows
I should let you die.

Freedom. Everybody
talks about freedom.

It would not work here.

You have to be educated
to freedom, you understand?

My people have not.

It is not an easy thing,
this freedom.

Here, they think it means no
more work, no more troubles.

Somebody will bring
in a big machine.

Suddenly nobody
will be poor.

I have spent much time
in your country, doctor.

If a sign on a trolley
car says no speeding.

Nobody speeds.

Here, they spit
on the sign.

The American still means
respect for the law,

Respect for property, responsibility.

But here...

even a simple thing
like a movie theater...

in your country, they
stand in line for hours.

Here, they begin
to form a line.

In one minute,
there is a crowd.

In two minutes,
there is a riot.

Me, I hate poverty
and disease.

But my enemies...
they use it.

Yes, the people
are very stupid.

They cannot
help themselves.

Only I could
help them.

You will not
let me die.

Will you. doctor?

Will you?

¡La señora Farrago!

No! No!

Fernandez!

Fernandez was a university professor.

He was against
the presidente.

He became the leader
of the opposition party.

A year ago,
he was assassinated.

Aah!

Helen: aah!

Aah!

Hi. Where have
you been all day?

Look at that thing.
Pretty good. isn't it?

You know how many
statues of Farrago

There are in just
this one city?

Almost a thousand.

Everywhere you go,
one of those.

"You are sitting in this park
through the courtesy of Farrago. "

"That fountain of water comes to
you through the kindness of Farrago. "

Yes. yes.

They're allowed to breathe
by the grace of Farrago,

Providing they
pay the taxes he demands.

Helen, what's the matter,
dear? What happened?

Señor
presidente.

Good morning,
doctor.

Good morning.

How are you with this
kind of an instrument?

Would you like
to try a few shots?

I told you not
to leave your room.

I am tired
of my room.

You're a big boy now.

Every time you disobey
orders, you complicate surgery.

Don't scold me, doctor.
My head is splitting.

My eyes are playing
tricks with me.

You do not let me
eat what I like.

You forbid me wine.

This morning, the maid
brought me my breakfast,

The very
pretty maid.

She aroused in me nothing
except disinterest.

I might as well
be dead.

Liars. I could not even see the target.

You are the
best marksman

In the whole
of our country.

Was, colonel. Was.

I learned to shoot before
I could read, fortunately.

History is made
with guns.

If you were
a student of history,

You'd know your fate
beforehand.

Fate is moved
by power.

Power is guns, tanks,
and planes and audacity.

How much longer
must we wait?

Put that cigar away
and sit down.

No.

I cannot bear
this room any longer,

And I will not
get into that bed.

For once in my life,
it bores me.

Now. listen carefully.

Mrs. Ferguson is
leaving here tonight.

Without you?

You'll provide her
with the necessary papers.

You have had a fight
with your wife. correct?

She would not
fight with me.

The trouble with
American husb-

You'll give her
military escort

So that she leaves
the country safely.

It is because
of last night.

Your wife thinks I killed
Fernandez, and so do you.

Admit it.

Admit you'd kill a
harmless little professor?

Of course I admit it.

Please, doctor. I may
be a great many things,

But one thing, I am not-

I am not stupid.

Alive, Fernandez
was nothing,

A harmless little
speech maker.

But dead...

dead, he is a martyr.

I even thought his own party had
killed him to make him a martyr.

And do you know
who did it?

A jealous husband.

To think that because
a little professor

Was indiscreet
with another man's wife,

My entire regime
is in danger.

All finished?

Make the arrangements for
Mrs. Ferguson to leave.

Today, not mañana.

You see what happens when
you give a woman independence-

Desertion.

I have a theory
about women, doctor.

Would you like
to hear it?

I already know your theory,
and it's not very original-

Keep women poor, keep them
ignorant. and keep them pregnant.

It never worked for any other
dictator. It won't for you.

My wife is not
leaving me.

Maybe she's not staying
because she loves you. either.

That thought ought to keep
you from getting too bored.

Hello.

Hello, Sam.

Hello and good-Bye.

Now, food, aspirin,
stomach pills. cold pills.

Oh, these will keep you
from getting typhoid.

This will keep you
from getting tetanus

On the seats,
like this.

Got all your papers
in order?

Yes.

Making her
leave here

Is the smartest thing
you've done so far.

Of course,
I still think-

Good-Bye, Sam. Can I look
up your wife or anyone?

Did I say
the wrong thing?

I usually do st
a time like this.

We'd better
get off, Sam.

When you get to nueva
vista, look up Irish Cochran.

That’s his address. He'll get you
out on pan American right away.

This is Tuesday. You
should be home by Saturday.

Call us if you can
get through to my place.

Bye.

Bye, Sam.

I'll phone you
soon as I get home.

I'll wait for your call at
Sam's house Saturday night.

Take care of yourself.

Well, shall we
start again?

They're very tired.
4 hours, doctor.

Surgery may take
6 hours.

We'll begin
another rehearsal

After I explain this
one point, all right?

Men: si.

Good.

Now...

it will probably
bleed a good deal

When the bone flap
is elevated, so.

At this point.

It's essential to have a
hot. wet lap pad to lay on it.

There should be some bone wax laid
out along the edge of the basin.

Along the edge
of the basin.

Good evening.

Did your wife have
a pleasant departure?

I have brought you
an audience.

Perhaps the doctor
does not want us here.

Oh,
but everybody has

A morbid curiosity
about these things.

Doctors always make such a
mystery about these matters.

Of course.
You're welcome.

After all,
it is my head,

And for
the first time.

A stranger is going
to see what's inside.

You may be a stranger to what's
going on in there yourself.

Ha ha ha!

Assume this is
the bone flap.

After the hemorrhage has
been reasonably controlled,

I'll place a hot, wet lap pad
around the concavity of the flap...

then a piece
of gauze around that...

and a rubber band
around the clamps.

So these must be
ready in that order.

Thank you.

Eugene: now we'll
outline the flap.

Markers for drilling.

Sheet and towels.

4 towels.

Towel clips.

Next.
the head drape.

Eugene: we'll begin with
the forward leg of the incision.

I beg your pardon.

Let me see you tamp
on the skin edges.

That's fine.

Press down hard,
and don't let up

Until the snaps
are in place.

No, no! Don't slap
the fingers!

Press them into my hand.

All right.

Next
the retractor...

and small
Hudson burr.

If that salt solution is hot enough,

We'll start practicing an irrigation

As if we were
drilling the bone.

After the guide has been
placed, then the saw-

And this is one of the points of danger.

Please tell them never to use
that instrument on the brain again.

It might suck a piece
right out of the brain.

Still curious?

No, thanks.

How did it go?

Oh,
it went quite well,

But you died.

I'm sorry to disturb
you, doctor.

But we cannot
quiet him.

What will you think of a general
who makes deals with the enemy?

Raoul, please.

I don't deal
with traitors. Not I.

Or with those who
suggest such compromises.

Man: I only suggest
a military truce.

It is never
military to retreat.

Do you suppose that I won
these decorations by retreating?

Sit down, please.

He says that my soldiers
rebel against me,

Our supply lines
are cut.

Students riot, people
rise up against me.

People-People
do as guns tell them!

Do as the doctor
says, please.

Sodium numinal.

Lie here.
You need rest.

Rest? We're in a civil
war, you understand.

This is worse
- Far worse than any other kind of war.

Nothing destroys so
much as civil war.

Now, what is the answer to civil war?

What stops it?
Compromise? No.

Truce? No.

To give in?
Never!

The only answer
is war-

Real war against
an outside country.

Any country.

Everybody must come to the
defense of his own country.

Patriotism
is a great weapon.

Brother stops fighting brother
when a stranger attacks.

With one master stroke.

We end this stupid
civil war.

We become valiant,
courageous...

defenders of our soil!
Patriots!

Doctor, I'm sick.

Eugene: help me place him
on the bed, please.

That's right.

We'll operate tomorrow
morning at 11:00.

Better send in a nurse.

In nomine patr¡a,
et filii,

Et spiritus sancti.
Amen.

Doctor, is there
anything I can do?

Praying might help.

About those things
you heard him say...

try to get some rest.
Good night, señora.

Father?

Speak in English,
please.

You were asked to declare
a day of prayer for him,

A public demonstration of faith.

It only takes one voice
to reach god.

You will do
as we say.

Forgive me, señora.

To pray,
that is one thing.

Oh, yes, very good.

But to use prayer for
political reasons... no.

That is bad.

Then I shall declare
a day of public prayer.

The public
will not come.

They come
on Sunday anyway.

Yes.

Sunday then.

Pray loud so that
everyone may hear you.

My prayers
are directed to god.

For him, a whisper
will do as well.

Father...

pray for me, too.

Si. Buenas noches.

Buenas noches.

Write what I say
in English.

Yes.

Dr. Ferguson...

your wife was taken
from her train last night...

by the army
of the Partido Nacional.

She, uh...

she is safe,
but she is our prisoner.

We know you are operating
on Farrago this morning.

If you let him live...

your wife will die.

Colonel Adragon...

colonel Adragon has
already been shot.

Shot?

Si, si. Fusilado.

Ahh.

This is your wife's
driver's license.

So you can believe...
what... we... say.

It is good to go
to school. No, muchacho?

I will
take the letter!

You are too young.

Raise your head, please.

How is
Mrs. Ferguson?

All right,
I suppose. Why?

I like her.

Have you
heard from her?

I don't expect to hear
from her until Saturday.

I wonder
where I will be

On Saturday.

Same place-
Safe in bed.

Good.

Would you get onto
the stretcher, please?

Of course.

Doctor, are you going to give me ether?

No. A local
anesthetic.

I'm glad.

I have never taken
an anesthetic,

Not even when a bullet
broke my leg,

Nor do I permit
my dentist to give me gas.

I cannot even trust
myself to go to sleep.

You don't trust
anyone else.

Why should you make an
exception of yourself?

I trust you.

Mmm. You've
no other choice.

Doctor, do
many people die

In an
operation like this?

Under the best conditions,

About 12%.

These are not the best conditions.

You don't
like me. do you?

I try to regard

My patients
impersonally.

Can you?

No.

Will my hair
grow back again?

It will be beautiful
and curly.

You.

Yes, you. Out.

Curette.

Gracias.

Por nada.

Move your
head forward, please.

Ha ha ha!

Ah, doctor. Do you feel as good as I do?

Well, you sound like
your old self again.

I am, in more ways than one. Ha ha ha!

Well, don't
strain yourself.

A sudden shock
or fall,

Too much excitement
- Almost anything could cause a hemorrhage.

Me?
I'm indestructible.

Hmm. Isn't that
remarkable?

Yes. yes.

Before an operation, the
patient begs, "doctor, save me.

Only you can
save me, doctor. "

When he comes out
of the anesthetic,

He says, "thank god
I pulled through. "

4 days later, he says.
"I'm indestructible.

Nothing could kill me. "

Ha ha ha!

Prepare a phenobarbital and give it
to him before he goes to sleep, please.

Do not think I am
ungrateful. doctor.

I am really
very fond of you.

Is that why you kept me
prisoner for the past 4 days?

Well, as long
as my life

Was this way.

Even now,
at this very moment,

Nobody outside
the palace

Knows the result
of the operation,

And as long as you
controlled my fate,

I thought it only just
that I should control yours.

Now, of course, you are free
to leave whenever you wish.

What, you mean
I can go?

That's an outrage.

Señor Magano has the
remainder of your fee.

Divide it among those
who assisted me, please.

At least permit me
to thank you.

You have done
a great service

Not only to me but to
the people of my country.

I only saved your life.
I didn't vote for you.

Neither did they.

Good-Bye, doctor.

Please give my regards to your wife.

Thank you. I shall. I hope to
speak with her later this evening.

Good-Bye.

Good-Bye.

Good-Bye.

Ha ha ha!

Rubio!
Where have you been?

I asked the girl to
find you hours ago.

Where's Mr. Proctor?

Come on, come on. You speak
English. I've heard you.

I go to meet
señor proctor now.

I'll come with you.

Rubio.

I tried to phone you
at the palace.

I was kept
incommunicado.

Well, anyway, I was in
the fields for a few days.

We had a big fire at one
of the oil depots.

Hear from Helen?

No. no. I tried to
get through to her.

But they wouldn't
even place my call.

Said that all
outgoing messages-

Wireless, radio, phone
- Were canceled.

Something's
awfully wrong.

Nobody around.

The streets. they've
been empty all night,

Just as if...

I don't know. as if they
expected something to happen.

Hungry?

Not particularly.

I sm. Let's go where there's
food and news at the same time.

Rubio...

muy bien.
Buenas noches.

¿ Que tal, Carlos?

Julio.

Julio.

Did you get a note
or a letter.

Or have you heard from Helen,
anything the last couple days?

No. Why?

Wait a minute.

There was a message. Gonzales
had it delivered to you.

What message? What
are you talking about?

Come in, please.

Gonzales: shhh.

Luis?

Do you know
this man?

No.

Think very carefully,
doctor.

His life depends
on what you answer.

A message was sent to you on
the morning of the operation.

He says he
gave it to you.

The message
concerned your wife.

What message?
What did the message say?

It said your wife was
taken from her train.

It said she was
our prisoner.

It said if you let Farrago
live, she would die.

What has all this
to do with Helen?

I don't believe him.

You can believe me,
doctor.

I speak the truth.

Then what about
my wife?

What have you
done with her?

What have you done
with Farrago?

Did you
let him live?

We have not been
able to find out.

Is he still alive?

What about my wife?

This is very important to us, doctor.

You have not answered my question.

I don't have to
answer your question.

Come.

Hello?
One moment please.

Hello?

Helen!

Yes, dear.
Are you all right?

Where are you, dear?

Well? And Farrago?
What of him?

Señor doctor. please,
you must help us.

They are coming. There's
no one to resist.

Colonel Valdini
has the army.

Deserters gone over
to the enemy.

Look, look for
yourself! You see?

No soldiers!
Cowards! Deserters!

Save me, señor doctor.
They will kill me.

I have money in America in the
bank. It is yours. all yours!

You are not
needed here.

Madam, get away
from the door.

No.

You got that hostage
note. didn't you?

Yes, I did.

You would have
let her die.

To save Farrago's
life. yes, yes, yes!

50 like her!

She does not matter!
Nobody matters!

What do you want?

I bring regards
from Mrs. Ferguson.

She's interested
in your health.

Why didn't you tell me
about the note?

It was my life
or hers.

It still is.

Move. Over there.

Move!

Farrago!

They're saying
I'm dead.

Doctor, my head.

There is a torrent
in my head.

Doctor!

It's starting.

You're hemorrhaging
inside.

No. No.

No. No. No.

You'll never get
out of here alive.

I will not only get out.
I will stop them.

You can’t.
You're dying.

Liar!

You'll go blind.

Then your right arm and
leg will become paralyzed.

Nothing can kill
Farrago.

Except you.
You're killing yourself.

I made a nation
out of that rabble.

I am their backbone.

Without me,
they are nothing.

All people must have
a leader.

Only I can help them.

You're finished.

No.

You're dying.

Isabel: Raoul!

Raoul!

Isabel?

Doctor,
where is the key?

Give me the key!
The key!

It's too late.

Isabel: Raoul!

Raoul!

Raoul!

You did good!

Very good!

Tonight, we are
making history!

What about my wife?

Ah, you worry
too much. doctor.

Smile, amigo!
Smile! Ha ha ha!

Farrago is dead!
The people are free!

They are excited,
like children.

They will learn.
I will teach them.

The people always need a
leader. Now they're on my side!

I wonder who's
on their side.

Well, you see? I kept
my end of the bargain.

I didn't kill Farrago.
He killed himself.

What does it
matter now?

What does it matter?

Yesterday, Farrago.
Today, you.

You intellectuals. What
do you know about life or-

Man: Gonzales!

Ughh...

save me, doctor!

Same old cry,
down through the ages.

"Save me, doctor.

Save me. anybody. "
