Whipping can do wonders.

Useless mouth!

EROTIC ESCAPE

I must talk to you, Manuel. I was born not far from here.

I knowthe region well. I have lots of friends.

Have you ever driven a car?

I knewthat!

Can you swim?

I can.

Then we can try it together. I have organized everything.

Look. Across the river lives Rosalez.

He's an old comrade. He'll give us a car to reach the desert.

We'll find Jose there, he will give us horses.

This way we can travel across the desert up to the river. The frontier.

What do you think? Tomorrow, after chow

every moment will be the good one. We'll disarm the nearest guard.

We'll run to the river. No one will followus.

Currents are too strong, and scary. But in the areas vmere we are working now

we can do that. The construction site will move soon, we can't miss this chance.

- Why did you choose me? - I've been keeping an eye on you for a long time, Manuel.

You keep to yourself, you never talk to anyone.

Five years inside have not tamed you. You're always thinking to escape.

- This is our only chance. - It's too risky.

Two, maybe three guards will shoot us.

It is our destiny. When you die, here or there,

- is the same. - No. There must be more of us.

- You're not gonna tell others! - If there are more than two,

someone will die, but someone else save their souls.

I wouldn't know, I don't trust anyone.

We might ask Luis, and his friend.

You must be crazy. Look!

- He can't even stand upright. - ThaLMs why.

Pray for me, mate.

Need a digestive?

It's hot.

So they'll have to marry even though they are cousins.

It's the same that happened...

Do you know howmuch meat we sold during the war to the US?

My father's been importing pigs for five years.

I think Buick is a more comfortable and elegant sports car.

- My father only considers Ford cars. - What is a gringo doing here?

I sell Sprinklets. I will flood South America.

We will bring mrater to everyone. Do you like my idea?

Costantino found five corpses in the river. One was a child.

I don't want even hear these things.

- Is everything fine, sirs? - Fine, general, thank you.

To tell the truth, this Swiss college is blessed by God.

But nowl don't know whether to send her in Europe again.

You might send her to the US. There are excellent colleges for girls.

Vassar College, for instance, would be ideal for her. - Anyway,

I'm not going to keep her here with what's going on.

600 kilos... and 800.

She almost weighs a ton.

They are extremely docile. This here

is the only industry without unions.

Thank you, Michelino. Yes, sir.

Ramon, you've almost convinced me. I'd rather wait and see howthey adapt.

- Here or there, what's the difference? - There is a difference.

They are fed there, here they're not.

How nice! Thank you daddy.

Uncle? I have invited Amparo in Cartagena.

My mother was eager to meet him. But she's just arrived home.

- I'd love to go to the beach. - Let her come.

Freeze! Or else I'll shoot.

Please! Do not hurt her!

- I want a car. - Take mine. The green one.

- The key is in. - Let the girl go!

Get on the car!

Amparo!

Don Ramon Vasquez de Pombo speaking. Connect me to the Minister.

Wake him up!

Give me your jewels.

Yes, colonel. He's just passed by.

The girl is in the car with him.

Discretion. Fine.

Go inside.

Are you Jose?

I'm coming on behalf of Rafael Megolanda.

Where is he now? He's being eaten by worms now.

- One horse will be enough. - How comes she,Aos here?

- I had to kidnap her to escape. - You're crazy!

VWII you lend me a horse? Or shall I take it?

Take it, it's a gift. Youfiiire dangerous.

And you're a fool. I don't want any more troubles.

Help your husband. Saddle the horse.

I need drink and food for three days.

Keep the child.

Move!

Give the warning to the others.

We have surrounded him, sir. Do you want to negotiate?

Everything's ready. Leave now

Ramon, what about the girl? Son it out yourself. Kill her.

I owe you.

I'm coming outside with the girl.

Ifyou try to stop me, I'll kill her! ls that clear?

I'll kill her!

Move!

You tell them. cry it aloud!

Don't shoot!

I will need another horse. And the mule.

Move your asses, shitheads!

We must talk to him. Promise him a safe-conduct.

What can you promise him? He knows perfectly well

that as soon as he sets her free they'll shoot.

That's what will happen.

You too. Come outside.

No! For heaven's sake.

No one moves.

Son of a bitch.

Please, let's stop.

I need some privacy.

Get on.

Come on, get on or else I'll tie you again.

Fucking scum sucking bitch!

I'll do whatever you want!

Stand up. Stand up!

Nowl have the whip in my hands. I can do whatever

I want with you. Understood?

You only have to obey.

Get on!

Nowl am in command. Got it?

Say it.

Say Yes, sir.

Yes sir.

- I'm thirsty. - It's not for prisoners to decide

when to drink. Nor to eat.

They rest and shit when they can.

Ifthey stop, they're buried. Fasten yourself.

Here you are.

You only drink mineral mrater, uh?

- If you want, you can take a piss. - No.

Take this.

Prisoners must get used to beatings. It's their life.

I was beaten with sticks.

Here.

And then the chains. But the whip was the worst thing.

They kill you by force of mmipping.

Wanna see my scars?

Look.

You don't want to, uh?

She doesn't want to.

What is your name?

Wanna eat?

I'll give you a name.

I'll call you Maria.

Or Antonia.

Or Carmen.

Come on, Carmen, eat.

You're hungry but stand-offish?

I'll be kind instead, and I'll give you food.

And mrater. Thank me at least.

- Say 'Thanks, Manuel. - 'Thanks, Manuel.

- May I have some privacy? - Of course, Carmen.

You're not going too far, are you?

That's very bad.

Ifwe don't keep walking, then we die.

On your knees!

Pray!

Pray for your life.

Nowl'll teach you to pray like prisoners do.

Join your hands!

Faithfully!

No, no...

Come on, you'll get better.

I still need you.

No...

He now has only half of the water.

He still has a horse and a mule.

He's bound to the mountains.

- We should intercept him. - We might followthe track to the col.

The local command will be glad to lend us some vehicle.

Catching this subversive won't jeopardize your daughter's life.

OK then. We'll stop him at the col.

He'll be there without any water and have to negotiate.

Inform the plane via radio. They should go ahead.

Yes, sir.

Let's leave the horse here.

Son of a bitch!

Keep at large, or I'll kill her!

Don't!

Help!

You want to cheat me?

Your powerful daddy is looking for you with a plane.

You who drink my water and eat my bread,

you're alive because I concede you to.

And you, as soon as I close my eyes, try to rip me off!

Look at me when I speak!

I am not your servant, I am you master.

Nowl'll showyou who is the master here.

Come on, call your fatherfiiis plane!

Tell them to help you.

Nowl'll get married with you.

Nowl'll showyou how prisoners get married.

This is howthey make love in prison.

It's regular, innit?

Can you see the mountains?

Little child.

Chew slovMy.

Poor little feet.

I'm not tying you, tonight.

Stop!

Wait, wait!

- What is it? - The mule, lieutenant.

He has no way out.

Now if we offer him the freedom, he'll return Amparo.

But then we'll show him. Even if he went at the end of the world,

I'll make him suffer an agony as long as these days.

Aren't you too hot with these rags on?

I'll unfasten you and you can drink some mrater.

I'll go look for some mrater.

Dad-dy

Why didn't you call on them?

What's on your mind, uh?

Speak! What are you scheming?

Why didn't you run up to them?

I couldn't.

The river.

The frontier.

Let me come with you.

- You'd like to come with me. - I can't anymore.

How can I go back to my father's?

It is impossible. I am ashamed.

- I don't need you. - You do!

- I can do anything for you. - You are useless.

I'll be your slave!

I'll do whatever you want, however you want it.

Ivvill learn.

You're a dead weight. You can only sport a nice ass

- for men's sake. - You could sell me!

I can't go back home.

I'm free. Free.

I'll need them more than you.

The plane will soon find you.

If you follow me, I'll kill you.

Who the hell are you? Where do you come from?

- I swam across the river. - Give me the gun.

I'll be glad to, sergeant.

I crossed the frontier to ask for political asylum.

And where did you find this?

Nowyou stay here for a while. Take a rest and eat.

We'll finish our rounds. Do you want a smoke?

Thanks.

Tomorrow morning we'll take you to the police station in town.

If you are not wanted in your country for non-political crimes, you'll be free.

Listen, I am not a criminal.

I'm asking for political asylum as many others do.

Yes, but you were carrying a gun.

And if you've not stolen or kidnapped, no one can send you back.

- Yes, but... - Let's go.

Take out these wet clothes, and put these on.

We'll prepare the horses for the night.

Carmen!

Carmen.

What did you tell them?

It doesn't matter vmat you told. They want to carry me at the station.

Carmen!

It's over. But it's over for you too, I'll tell them everything.

Your family is important. There will be the press,

the radio, officers, judges, lawyers.

I'll tell everybody that you were my bitch.

Yes Carmen! It's the truth!

Didn't you like it yesterday? Do you remember yesterday?

You'll be the prisoner's bitch and you can't hide then

from your father, and from that douchebag of your fiancV©.

You remember?

Carmen.

I must escape from here.

Please, convince them to set me free.

These bumpkins have never seen a woman like you.

All naked like you are now Make advances to them.

Arouse them! Talk to them.

Whatever. The jewels!

Promise them the jewels!

If they set me free, you'll never hear from me again!

Or else I'm finished.

But you are finished too! You get it, Carmen?

You get it?

- May I have a smoke? - Yes.

Close that curtain.

Our friend wcm't be offended if we keep some privacy.

One snoop less.

The jewels.

Hey, my friends!

What do you think you're doing? No!

Let go of me, comrades!

Carmen! Carmen! Stop them!

Hang him up!

Please, Carmen, save me! Save me!

This was you! Carmen!

Bitch!

I am not Carmen, you idiot!

I am Amparo Vasquez de Pombo.

Our Lord has undoubtedly put you to a harsh test.

But then he led you to our convent.

There are things that cannot be told, even to a father.

Only to a mother. Ifthat murderer put his hands on you,

- if he has violated your body... - No, no.

That man was obsessed by escape.

He exhausted the work animals... He would have liked to,

but he didn't have the time. He died in afall.

In a fall?

Yes.

He climbed the rocks, looking for mrater, and fell into a rift.

Father Gregorio, have you given the good news?

Your father will arrive tomorrow morning.

I talked to him on the phone.

At last.

We've had a late night.

It's between you and me, now
