Attention, attention!

The revolution is victorious,
all power to the revolution,

all power to the
workers and peasants,

all power to the
fighters for socialism.

Remember the law, it is illegal

to possess spirits
or hard liquors,

it is illegal to possess wine,

it is illegal to pray
or to meet in prayer,

it is illegal to attend mass.

Remember, God is
dead, God is dead.

- You and your
painless revolutions.

(dentist drill whirring)
(man grunting)

Oh, I know, I know, I mustn't
say anything disrespectful.

Well, I obey the law,

I don't get drunk anymore,
I don't drug anymore,

women, I don't even
play billiards.

- You shouldn't have
given up billiards,

even my lieutenant has
nothing against billiards.

- Oh your lieutenant, he
sees the worst of everything,

it's a habit strong men have,

you won't retire yet, will you?

- Why?

- Because he'll replace you,

and at my age, I can't
stomach strong men, rinse.

(door knocking)

Come in.

- [Announcer] Remember,
God is dead, God is dead.

- Are you the dentist?

- Isn't it obvious?

- I have an old filling

which has worked loose,
it needs attention.

- Can't you see I'm busy
attending the chief of police,

all right, you can wait.

(man grunting)

- No more for today.

- But I haven't finished.

- I'll come back tomorrow.

I should've shot
you with the others.

Billiards tonight?

- Hmm?

- I wanna play
billiards tonight.

- Oh, wow.

- I haven't broke 10 since
this tooth started aching.

- Come, sit over here, I
can't give you much time.

- Didn't I get the words right?

- Well, best say
them over again.

- I have an old filling

which has worked loose,
it needs attention.

- Where?

- Oh, the upper incisor.

- You're late.

- I'm sorry.
- Gonzales told me

to expect you last night.

- I was busy.

- Your teeth are terrible, too.

- I know, have you
got the papers?

- Yes, everything is in order,

ticket, embarkation permit,
you name's Micha Lopez.

- Thank you.
(boat whistle blaring)

- Oh, don't worry
about the boat,

it always leaves late,

you wait for the third whistle,

- that's the next one...
- Oh.

- Get on board
with the last rush.

- Thank you, would you
care for some brandy?

- Where'd you get that?

- Brandy is a good dentist.

Forgive me, in my
profession I have

to make little jokes sometimes
to make people laugh,

sometimes they do laugh.

- Not at that one.

What is your profession?

- Oh, I'm a doctor.

- Qualified?

- No.

- I don't like quacks.

- Well, I'm not
a quack, exactly,

I'm what you might call
a traveler in medicine.

- (gasps), that's ghastly stuff.

- That window must've
been quite beautiful.

- Yes, I got it when
they sacked the church.

Well, it didn't
seem right somehow,

a dentists office without
a piece of stained glass.

You know, 10 years ago,
I could've got out,

I could've paid my passage
home, started a practice,

then along comes
your revolution,

down falls the
place, and here I am,

stuck in this godforsaken
socialist heaven.

- You remember before
the red shirts came,

this was a happy place then.

- I didn't notice.

- They had at least God.

Why, don't you believe in him?

- Oh, I used to believe
in something somewhere,

now I believe in
nothing, nowhere.

Why, and why do you ask?

- What?

- About God?

Latin.

A prayer book.

Damn you!

Do you think I do this out
of charity or conviction?

I'd get any crook
out of the country

if it helped to pay my
passage home, but a priest.

All right, give me your money

and get the hell
out of this, father,

or senior, eminence.

- Are you going to give me up?

- Do you think I
wouldn't like to?

What are you doing here anyway?

Don't you know what they do
to priests in this state?

- Yes.

- Why're you here then?

- I never went away.

When the others left, I stayed.

At first, it wasn't so
bad, I had the friends,

but then it got bad, now...

- You're not just a
drunk, you're a sickness,

people die of contact with you.

(boat whistle blaring)

- Forgive me, you have been
very kind, God keep you.

- Let him keep you, you're
his property, not mine.

(door knocking)

Hello?

- Are you the doctor?

- No, I'm the dentist, why?

- They said you were a doctor.

- Why, got a pain or something?

- [Child] No, my mother,
she's very sick with fever.

- Well, everyone has fever
this time of the year.

- [Child] She's dying.

- Where do you come from?

- [Child] El
Catrin, please come.

- Well, I told you,
look, I only fix teeth,

if you wanna see a
doctor, you'll have...

- Are you the doctor?

She's dying, I know she's dying.

- Always they say,
they're dying.

- Well, that puts her
under your jurisdiction,

doesn't it, doctor?

- When she looks at me, she
doesn't even know who I am.

- [Dentist] Hey, just a minute,

you know you missed
that boat, don't you?

- Perhaps I was meant to.

(calm guitar music)

(upbeat orchestral music)

- You wanted me?

- [Chief] Oh yes, there's
the letter from the governor.

- And what does he want?

- [Chief] Two things,
first, the gringo murderer,

got a policeman in Veracruz,
and seems to be coming our way.

- Well, if he's within our
borders, I'll catch him.

- Excellent, he's also
wanted in the States

for killing two seaman.

- G-men, what else
does the governor want?

- [Chief] That priest.

- There's no priest!

- He thinks there is!

- In other states
there's still priests

because the police are corrupt,

'cause they're sentimental
and don't shoot them

like the vermin they
are, but not here.

- Your passion is commendable,

nevertheless, he says
there's a priest.

- Suppose this were true,
how would I find him?

There's not even a photograph.

- There's now a photograph,
from the governor.

- Oh, he looks like
any other priest,

well fed, well
shaved, soft hands,

we've shot him
half a dozen times.

- Well, the picture's very old.

- You know what
this reminds me of?

The stink of incense,
candles, white lace,

old peasants kneeling making
of their buddies a crucifix,

while their pockets
are being plundered

of their last centavo,

and what do these
gentlemen offer in return?

Sacrifice of a little
sexual indulgence.

- I think that's something.

- It's nothing, I
too am dedicated,

I too have little need of women.

What are my orders?

- Catch him before
the rains begin.

- Can I do it my own way?

- Something in mind?

- Well, it's a small state,
mountains on the north side

sea to the south,
I would beat it,

it should be the
street, house by house.

- [Chief] You make
it sound easy.

- If he's in this area,

he's being protected
by the peasants,

I would take a hostage
from each village,

and if I found that the
priest had been there,

I would kill the hostage
and take another,

and I would go on killing
until he had no place to go.

- Great many would
die, of course.

- It would be worth it.

(calm guitar music)

- She is not dying.

- [Peasant] Thank you, father.

- Can you let me have a
hammock for the night?

- [Peasant] We
have none, father.

- A little spirit, perhaps?

- Tea, coffee, father.

- Some food?

- We have no food.

- Then I will rest
here for the night.

- [Peasant] Father,
it's not safe.

- You want me to go?

- [Peasant] It would
be better, father.

It's been five years since
we have seen a priest,

baby boy has not been baptized.

- I will do it for two pesos.

- I don't have two pesos.

- One, then.

- Father, we have nothing.

- Then give me some clothes.

- We have only what we wear.

- Take mine in exchange.

- Why?

- It'll make me
harder to recognize.

- Very well, father,
and confession,

will you hear my
confession before you go?

- Do you mind if I
finish my coffee?

- Well, it would be a pity

if the soldiers came
before we had time...

- Very well, very well.

- Such a burden on poor souls.
- Yes, yes, very well.

- (speaks in foreign language).

- (speaks in foreign language).

- Oh bless me, father,
for I have sinned,

it has been five years
since my last confession,

and in that time, I have stolen,

I have borne false witness,

I have denied my
God and my church.

(dramatic music)

- Padre Jose, get
your fat carcass

out of bed, it's the police!

- What have I done?

I've done nothing.

- Jose, I want some information,

you know the man I seek.

- The gringo?

- No, this one.

- No, I don't know him.

- Well, perhaps you did once?

Where was his parish?

Where was his parish?

- I believe in Carmen.

- So close, and his home?

- I'm not sure.

- It would be better
if you were sure.

- He was born in Concepcion.

- Carmen and Concepcion.
- Yes.

- Thank you, Jose.

Is it not good to obey the law?

(door creaking)
(curious music)

- Where are you?

It's all right.

- Psst, I'm here.

Hope you don't mind.

- Oh, help yourself.

I brought something
to sustain you.

- To sustain me?

- Two chicken legs
and a bottle of beer.

- Oh.

- But if you're very hungry,

you must eat slowly, or
you'll just throw it all up.

- I think I'll risk it.

I don't suppose you
have any brandy?

- I'm afraid not, you see,

we're Americans and my father

is very careful about
obeying the law,

this is government
beer, it's still legal.

Are you a criminal?

- Well, not exactly,
I'm a priest.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Thank you.

- My name is Coral.

- Thank you, Coral.

- Why don't you
give yourself up?

- Well, it is my
duty not to, you see?

- Why?

- Because I'm the
last priest left alive

in this state, you see?

- It's a problem, but
maybe you could renounce.

- Do what?

- [Coral] Renounce your faith.

- Oh, that's impossible.

- I guess it's something
like a birthmark.

Maybe I could find
my father's brandy...

- No, no, no, no, no,
you mustn't, Coral dear,

won't he be looking for you?

- Oh no, I always come
out here to memorize.

- [Priest] Memorize?

- Poems, see?

Come back, come back,
he cried in grief,

across the stormy water,

and I'll forgive
your highland chief,

my daughter, oh my daughter.

Correct?

- Perfect, you get 100%.

- I always do.

- You know, I have
a daughter too.

- [Coral] How can a
priest have a daughter?

- If he is a bad one.

- Is she pretty?

- I don't know,
I've never seen her.

- What?

- I would like very
much to see her.

- Then you ought to.

You could make your
way to her stealthily,

and if you were ambushed, you
could always come back here,

you would just tap at my window.

Perhaps it would be
better to have a code,

you must tap three times,
two long taps and a short.

- How do you tap a long tap?

- Like this, long, long, short.

- Ah, you mean a loud one.

- Oh, I call them long
because of Morse code.

(sweet music)

- Well, you have been
very kind, Coral,

I do thank you so
very, very much.

- [Coral] That's all right.

- Will you pray for me?

- Oh, I don't believe in that.

- Not in praying?

- I don't believe in God.

You see, I lost my
faith when I was 10.

- Dear, dear, then I will
just have to pray for you.

- All right, if you like, you
don't sound afraid anymore.

- No.

- Wait, I'll go first.

(suspenseful music)

All right.

Goodbye, I hope you escape.

If they kill you, I
shan't forgive them, ever.

- Where did you
get those clothes?

I'll ask you again, where
did you get those clothes?

- Halt there.

Now, I know the
priest has been here,

if you tell me where he is,
you will save this man's life.

(gunshot booming)

(woman screaming)

- Is it you, father?

- You didn't recognize me?

- You've changed.

- [Priest] Well, you have not.

- Where did you
get those clothes?

- From a peasant.

- What did you do with yours?

- Gave them to him in exchange.

- Why?

- They were very
conspicuous out of the city.

- I would have
hidden them for you,

I don't like it, father, now
you look like any other man.

- That was the idea.

How is our daughter?

- She's as well as rest of
us, what did you expect?

- I would like to see her.

- [Brigida] No, no!

- Brigida, Brigida, Brigida,

what are you doing?
- Mama!

(sweet music)

- Brigida, this is your father.

- Brigida, my dear.

- Are you the gringo?

- Well, what gringo?

- You silly, the soldiers
have been looking for a man.

- I never considered they're
looking for another man,

what has he done?

- He murdered some
people up north.

- Are you the gringo?

- Do I look like a murderer?

- I don't know.

- Brigida, do you know your
catechism, who made you?

- [Maria] She knows,
she knows her catechism,

but she never says it.

- Why won't you to say it,
Brigida, God wants you to.

- (sneers).

- Ooh, you little devil!
- Stop it!

- Hang on, Maria, now
don't be afraid, Brigida,

you're not afraid, are you?

- Go on, say something!

- Now, let her be, Maria, hmm?

- I'll get you some food.

- Yeah, yeah.

What games do you
like to play, Brigida?

If only we had some cards,

I could show you some
conjuring tricks,

and then you could teach
the other children.

Do you know how to send
messages with taps?

Long, long, short.

Oh yes, of course, that's a
game children play, I know.

Brigida, my father
used to have a proverb,

he used to say, The
best smell was bread,

the best taste salt, and the
best love, love of children.

How can I make you
love me, Brigida?

- (sneers).

- Brigida, Brigida
come back here!

- No!
- Brigida!

- Let her go, Maria.

- Ah, you see what that
child is like, she's wicked.

- A child cannot be wicked.

- The child of a priest?

You know, there's a curse
on the child of a priest.

- Not on the child.

- Yes, on the child,
on me, on you,

there's nothing we can do.

- You've got to try.

- It does no good.

- That is what everybody says
all the time, it does no good.

Well, my children,
I'm glad to see you...

- Are you going to
be here long, father?

- I thought I might
rest a few days.

- Couldn't you move
a bit farther north?

They say that churches are
still open beyond the border.

- But this is my
parish, I want to rest,

and I will say mass
for you in the morning.

What's wrong, you know me here,

you know the sort of priest
I am, whiskey priest?

All the same, I'm the only one

who can give you his
body and his blood.

If you tell me to go, I will,

but he will go with me.

Are we to go, he and I?

- The soldiers are taking
hostages from each village,

if the people don't tell
where you are, they're killed.

- You were at El Catrin, father.

- Who did they...

- Old Montez.

- Oh!

Why don't they catch me?

The fools, why
don't they catch me?

I am a man in moral sin

with no one to who
hear my confession,

but all the same,
I'm all you have.

- Of course you will
stay here tonight,

it's the least we can do.

- It is not what I want or what
you want, but what must be.

I was asleep now,
and in the morning,

an hour before dawn,
I will say mass.

(dramatic music)

There was no love
in her conception,

nothing but fear, despair
and half a bottle of brandy.

- Drink, father.

- Five minutes of lust.

- I was proud of
being a priests woman.

- Why do I feel for her
this appalling love?

- Drink, father.

Now, sleep.

- If I were to go, the
people would be safe,

and in all the space between
the mountains and the sea,

God would cease to exist.

- Sleep, father.

- Even though they despise me,

even though they are
corrupted by my ways

or murdered for my sake,

isn't it still my
duty to stay, huh?

- Sleep, father.

- I alone can put
God in a man's mouth.

- Sleep, father, sleep, sleep.

- One of the saints has told us

that joy always depends on pain,

pain then is part of
joy, we are hungry,

and just think how we
enjoy our food at last,

we're thirsty, we deny
ourselves so that we may enjoy,

before the marriage too,
there is the long betrothal,

that is why I say to
you that heaven is here,

that this is part of heaven,

just as pain is
part of pleasure.

Never get tired then
of suffering the
police who beat you,

the soldiers gathering taxes,

smallpox, the fever, the hunger,
these are that preparation,

the preparation for heaven,

and without them,
heaven could not be.

- The soldiers are coming here.

- Heaven is where there
are no unjust laws,

no taxes, no
soldiers, no hunger,

you will never be
afraid there or unsafe,

there are no red shirts,
no one ever grows old,

the crops never fail.

Oh, it is easy to say all the
things that are not in heaven,

but what there is there is God,

what there is here in this
place, at this moment, is God,

and there are no words
to describe his love.

Princes have their power
and great men their glory,

but of the love of God, they
have no more than the least,

no more than you,
no more than I,

and in all of living, this
is the loveliest thing.

In the name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost, amen.

- Soldiers are coming.

- How far?

- About a mile.

- [Man] Father,
quickly they're here.

- Wait, wait.
- Give me the cloth!

(dramatic music)

Inside, inside.

- I must leave at once.

- Oh, you fool, they are all
around the village, quick.

Quick, onto the bed.

Let me smell your breath.

Oh my God, anyone
can tell, wine,

what would we be
doing with wine.

Eat this onion.

- The cakes, Maria.

- Oh, nevermind your
cakes, lie down quick.

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

- Out, everybody out!

Bring the child.

(gunshot booming)

(crowd chattering)

Come on, out, everybody out!

Everybody over there.

They're all here, lieutenant.

- All right, all right.

- [Officer] All right,
come on, come on, move.

Closer!

- Now, listen to me,
I'm looking for two men,

one is a gringo murder

and I can see very
well he's not here,

but I want you to
keep your eyes open,

there's a reward of 500
pesos for his capture.

The other is a priest, you
all know what that means,

a traitor to the republic,

and anyone who shelters
him is a traitor too.

He's the last
priest in the state

and I have sworn to take
him before the rains,

and there's a reward of
700 pesos for his capture.

Well, has a priest ever
owed you 700 pesos, huh?

What has God ever done for you?

Look here, your children
got enough to eat?

Instead of food, they
talk to you about heaven,

Everything's gonna be
fine after you're dead.

They say.

Well, I tell you,

everything's gonna be
fine after they're dead,

you think me a hard man,

but this child means more
to me than the Pope in Rome.

Now, you don't have to speak,
if he's here among you,

all you have to do is look
at him and I will know.

All right, I'm going to take
a hostage from this village,

and if I find the
priest has been here,

I'm going to kill the hostage.

Why don't you trust me?

I don't want any of you to die,

in my eyes, can't
you understand,

you're with far more than he is?

You're my people, I want
to give you everything,

all you have to
do is look at him.

You, I take you.

- No, he's my son,
you can't take my son!

- Every man is somebody's
husband or somebody's son.

- Lieutenant.
- Yes?

- Take me.

- Why?

- I'm sick, I'm
not good for much.

- Then you're no
good for a hostage.

Hey, come here.

What's your name?

- Lopez.

- [Lieutenant] What do you do?

- I have a little land.

- [Lieutenant] You married?

- Yes.

- [Lieutenant]
Which is your wife?

- I'm his wife, why do
you ask so many questions?

Do you think he
looks like a priest?

- Let me see your hands, let
me smell your breath, come on.

All right, you can go.

Wait a minute,

you know everybody in
this village, don't you?

Who is this man,
what is his name?

- I don't know.

- [Lieutenant] You
mean he's a stranger.

- The child doesn't
know her own name.

- [Lieutenant] Be quiet.

- Just ask her
who her father is.

- Who's your father?

- Him.

- All right, you can go.

All right, go on.
(dramatic music)

- [Maria] They took the
best man in the village.

- Is it my fault if
they won't betray me?

- You think God wants
you to be a martyr,

a whiskey priest like you?

That's why people
laugh at the church.

- [Priest] Give me
the wine, Maria,

there is enough
for 12 more mass.

- No, you've said
your last mass,

no one else will die, even if it

brings a curse on me.
(bottle smashing)

(dramatic music)

- You should not have done that.

- You won't need this either!

Or this (grunts)!

- You should not have done that.

(woman sobbing)

It is up to you to give me
up, not up to me to be caught.

- I fear they've gone north,
father, toward the border.

- I must go where I
can purchase wine,

I'm no use to the
people without it.

Goodbye, Maria.

Brigida, listen to me, I'm
your father and I love you,

you're so important.

The governor up in the city
goes guarded by men with guns,

but you have all the angels.

- (spits).

(dramatic music)

snarls and tangles,

your comb glides through
your hair when wet,

and when dry, your hair is soft

Beautiful Hair Breck.

(suspicious music)

- How far to the city?

- Three leagues.

The soldiers, they passed
by this way earlier.

- Oh yes, I heard they
were looking for a gringo.

- Yeah, a real pistolero.

Yeah, they say he
come up to you,

and for no reason, bang.

Ah, but perhaps you carry a gun.

- [Priest] No.

- Ah, that is good, senor.

- Why do you call me senor?

- Anyone can tell you
are an educated man,

what an important looking bag.

Oh look, stay here with me,

I guide you to the
city in the morning.

- I don't need a guide.

- You don't trust me,
just 'cause I'm a poor man

who likes to do a good for a
stranger, you don't trust me.

The police, they look
for another man too,
700 pesos reward.

Ah, stay here, huh?

You can say a prayer
before we go to sleep.

- Prayer?

Do you think I'm a priest?

- Oh, I'm a good
Christian, father,

I would not betray you.

- You're wrong.

- I could easily
find out, couldn't I?

All I have to say is,
father hear my confession.

You couldn't refuse.

- In God's name,
what do you want?

Are you my Judas?

- Is that what you think?

You think I want the reward?

You think a poor man

like me cannot afford
to tell the police?

- I wish to go on into the city.

- All right, father,
if you insist,

and I come too, I know the
city, you need me there.

- No.

- Okay, but I follow,
you cannot get rid of me.

(dramatic music)

(guitar music)

Didn't I tell you, you
could not get rid of me?

Hey, you sold the mule.

- Yes.

- And you bought new
clothes, how much they cost?

- Not much.

- Not much, all my life,

I have to slave just
for a bare crust,

sometimes I think
I'd do anything,

do anything just for a few
pesos, can you blame me?

- Why should I?

- You eat too, didn't you?

- No, I've not
eaten in 24 hours.

- (speaks in foreign
language) why you lie to me?

Lying is a sin!

- I'm not lying.

- How much you got left?

- 29 pesos.

- Then why haven't you eaten?

- I wanna spend it on drink.

- You mean spirits?

- Yes.

- That is against the law.

- And wine.

- How much would you pay?

- I will give 15 pesos for a
bottle of genuine grape wine.

- I know where I can get it.

Didn't I tell you I'd be
of help to you in the city?

Come on.

(upbeat music)

We wait for him upstairs.

- You sure he can get it?

- Oh, of corse, he can get
anything, you know why?

He's the cousin of the governor,

he gets it legal,
from the customs.

- I wrote a letter back
to England last night.

- Planning to leave us?

- Yes, if I can locate my
relatives, if they'll have me.

- Oh, you'll never leave us.

- Well, I keep trying.

- The trouble with you, my
friend, is you worry too much,

now take me...

- [Dentist] Yes, I've
noticed don't worry,

you don't work either.

- I don't have to, my
lieutenant is so efficient,

right now he's off
chasing some priest.

- Well, I hope he
doesn't catch him.

- Oh, he will.

Since we've started
taking hostages,

the villagers turn
the priest away,

poor man has no place
to go, no place at all.

- Look, I will
give you the money,

and then you can buy the wine
and keep the change, huh?

- Hey.

- You're so fond of money.

- Oh, everyone is when
they haven't got any.

Now, look, don't worry,
you'll get your drink.

- I said wine.

- Okay, wine.

- Not homemade
wine, French wine.

- Californian?

- Will do.

- Hey, that sounds like him,

although, if you got your wine,

you won't forget to
offer him a drink?

- I wasn't going
to open it here,

I was going to take it away.

- To where?

- [Priest] Home.

- You know where home is?

Any place there's a
bottle and two glasses.

- Oh, it's you.

Who's this?

- He's a friend of mine,
he wanna talk to you.

- What about?

- [Mestizo] He want
to buy spirits.

- Oh, you want some
brandy, do you?

You know it's against the law?

- No, not brandy, excellency...

- Government beer isn't
good enough for you?

I could have you arrested.

- Well, of course, excellency...

- Whoa now, I'm not a hard man,

I like to oblige my fellows

if it's within my
power and does no harm.

You understand these drinks
come to me quite legally.

- Of course.

- And I have to charge
you what they cost me?

- Of course.

- Otherwise I would
be a ruined man.

Are you a talker?

- I know how to keep a secret.

- Oh, I don't mind you
telling the right people.

There we are, I can spare
you that, it's good stuff.

- I wasn't really looking
for a brandy, excellency.

- You must take what comes.

- Then, in that case,

I would rather have
my 15 pesos back.

- 15 pesos?

Why you...
- Okay, I'll give it to you,

but he's got 14 pesos more.

- Well now, wine is
difficult to get,

we have to keep it out

of the hands of the
priests, you know?

- I know, excellency.

Perhaps I could have
one bottle of brandy,

and then one bottle of wine?

- Well, wine costs more.

- How much?

- That will be another 14
pesos, 29 pesos for the two.

- Real wine.

- Oh, I always give my
customers satisfaction.

- Oh, thank you, excellency,
thank you very much.

- [Mestizo] Hey.

- [Merchant] (whistles),
aren't you tasting?

- If your excellency
will do me the honor...

- Well, why not?

That damn government
beer downstairs, it
gives me the gripe.

- A glass of brandy, excellency?

- No, I can't stand the stuff,

but now wine, that's
good for the blood.

- But I was keeping
that for a present.

- Oh, come on.
- All the better,

don't you wanna try it first?

Hm-mm.

- No, I'd prefer
brandy, actually.

- Oh, prefer brandy.
- Oh.

- Hey, salut.

- Salut.

- Salut.
- Salut.

- You know, if I say so
myself, that's not bad.

- So is your brandy,
very good, won't you...

- Oh yes, brandy's
fine if you like it,

but I prefer the wine.

Here, won't you try a little?

- No, I told you, I was
keeping it for a present.

- Oh, it's a present for a girl?

- No, my mother.

- Ah, well you see, she
knows what's good for her,

you drink wine, you never
get boils, you know that?

- No, excellency.

- That's true, this
morning I was shaving,

and I noticed one coming
out right around here,

so I think I will just have
a little more medicine.

Where your mother live?

- Yucatan.

- Oh, mine lives in Mexico City,

so I don't see her so
much, but all the same,

it's good to have someone,
you know what I mean?

- Yes, it is good
to have someone.

- And a mother means
more than a father.

- Wait a minute, this
is not your wine,

where are your manners?

My friend, I insist.

- No, no, your
brandy is so good.

- Wait, what was I saying?

Ah, mother, yes, mothers
mean more than fathers,

you can't deny that,

and I can honestly say
without fear of contradiction,

my mother is an angel.

Of course, nowadays
angels are illegal,

but you know what I mean.

- I had a mother once.

- Who in the hell asked you?

- Nobody.
- Then shut up, you're drunk.

(door knocking)

- [Chief] Anyone in?

- That's the chief of police.

No, no, no, it's all
right, it's all right.

Come in, come in.

Well, how's the toothache?

- Damn dentist, he's the...

Ah.
- Ah,

we're having a little party,

here, won't you join us?

- Well, well, just the
thing for a toothache.

- Here, I pour the chief
a little of your beer.

- Where have I seen you before?

- Never, so far as
I know, excellency.

- Excellency?

- Oh, he calls
everybody excellency.

- Oh.

(thunder booming)

- Ah, there go
those lights again.

- That's bad news for my men.

- What is?

- The rain's coming so early,

they're chasing
some damn priest,

oh, he might get away.

- Oh, with decent luck,
he'll starve or die of fever.

- I hope so, poor man,
this is all you've got?

- Well, beer's getting scarce,

- Mustn't waste it, then.

- Ah.

- Same for you?

- I prefer brandy.

- Salut.

- Salut.

- Now, what were
you talking about?

- Mothers, I was
saying mine's an angel.

- Mine's underneath one.

- Underneath what?

- An angel, Italian marble,
cost me 4,000 pesos,

every anniversary I take
a wreath, I miss her.

Say what you like, a
mother's a necessity.

- Doctors would agree.

- I can remember my grandmother.

- How would you
know where she was?

- I remember my first communion,

I still have a photograph of it,

my communion, me all dressed up,

my sister in her veil,
standing in the garden,

surrounded by my parents.

- How many did you have?

- Two.

What?

- Well, you said surrounded,

you'd have to have at
least four or five.

(group laughing)

(thunder booming)

- Oh, sorry, it'
your beer, isn't it?

- It doesn't matter, excellency.

- What are you crying for?

- Nothing, nothing,
it's the brandy,

it always does this to me.

- Well, I offered
you some of this.

- I was keeping it
for you, excellency.

Forgive me, I get
drunk very easily,

and then when I do, I see...

- See what?

- All the hope of the
world draining away.

- My friend, you're a poet.

(thunder booming)

All the hope of the world
draining away, I like that.

A poet is the soul
of his country,

a poet is the real excellency,

the excellency of excellencies,
the god of all gods,

a poet is...
(suspenseful music)

Where in the hell is he?

- Oh my...

- [Merchant] Where do
you think you're going?

- Well, I've got to find him.

- Why?

- Well, I don't trust him.

- [Chief] I don't trust you.

- [Merchant] You'd sell
your grandmother for a peso.

- I wouldn't.

Really, I would not.

Oh, you just don't understand.

- [Officer] Hey, hey,
(speaks in foreign language).

What's that you got there, huh?

Oh, what are you drinking, huh?

- Lemonade.

- Oh.
- Ah, lemonade,

what do you carry it
around with you for, huh?

- Take it at night with me.

- Oh, you think it's lemonade?

- Oh, claro it's lemonade,

why, I can smell it at 10 paces.

- And I can smell it.

Lemonade.
- Lemonade.

(suspenseful music)

Hey, hey...
- Hey.

- [Officer] Stop!

(bell ringing)

- Padre Jose, Padre Jose.
- Who is it?

- [Priest] Please let me in.

- Oh, God.
- Please,

they're looking for me.

- [Padre Jose] Go away, go away.

- They don't know who I am,

but when they get me
into the police station,

they will find out.
- Go, go,

I don't want any martyrs here,

leave me alone, I
don't belong anymore.

- No please, they are coming,

some dark corner, let me in!
- Don't make such a fuss,

go away and die, quickly, that's
the best thing you can do!

The Power and the Glory is
brought to you by Motorola,

a new leader in the
lively art of electronics.

What if, what if
cars had radios?

In 1930, Paul Galvin asked
and found the answer.

The first Motorola car radio,

the beginning of
Motorola leadership.

To the questions endlessly
beginning with what if,

Motorola found answers, grew,

led the field in
FM two way radio.

(dramatic music)

World War II and Motorola's
handy talkie radio

was up front.

After the war,
Motorola was first

with a popular priced
television set, remember?

♪ Motorola TV

Motorola scientists in Phoenix

helped develop the
fame Mesa transistor,

just one of many
Motorola contributions

to major American
space projects,

making the unknown known,

and Motorola introduced
new ideas in stereo Hi-Fi,

reproducing the
original works of art.

Big screen television

in an all transistor portable
you don't need to plug in,

the shirt pocket radio,

and fine Motorola
television housed

in cabinets designed by Drexel.

The shape of things to come,

Motorola molecular electronics,
magnified to be seen,

but so fantastic
in their function,

they will revolutionize
the world we live in

and bring us closer
to the stars.

- For possession of alcohol.

Got it from a
stranger, I suppose?

- Yeah.

- Whom you cannot identify?

- No.

- You know, that's
the right answer.

All right, follow me.

- Please, could I
have a drink of water?

- [Officer] Tomorrow morning,

you've had enough to
drink for tonight.

- Hey, look out, can't you?

Get away from the bucket,
you wanna drown us?

- Imagine, even in
here, like animals.

- What's the matter,
your highness?

Jealous?

- Is that you, Katarina?

- No, not Katarina.

- She will never come.

- Is she your wife?

- I have no wife.

- Oh, why ask him questions?

The old man is crazy.

- Daughter?

- Yes, but she will never come.

- She loves you?

- It is a priest, the
priest that did it.

- Priest?

- They took the
child away from him.

- Why?

- It was a bastard, they
acted quite correctly.

- Bastard.

- [Prisoner] They said
he was no fit father.

- They were bad priests
to do a thing like that.

- [Prisoner] They
know what's right.

- No, the sin was over,
they should preach love.

- You don't know what's
right, the priests know.

- I'm a priest.

- What did you say?

- [Together] He's a priest.

- You shouldn't have told them,

there're all sorts here,
thieves, murderers.

- That doesn't
make us informers.

- There's no need for
anyone to inform on me,

when it is daylight, they
will find out by themselves.

- They'll shoot you.

- Yes.

- Well then, you're a martyr.

- Martyrs are good men,

I'm a bad man and a bad priest,

I'm what you call
a whiskey priest,

you know why I'm here?

I had a bottle of brandy.

- Well, a little drink,
father, it's not so important.

- Little drink.

Once I was so drunk I
baptized a boy child

with the name Carlota.

(group laughing)

And I have a daughter.

- A daughter?

- A bastard.

- There was Barabbas,
the good thief.

- My child, he repented,

I haven't repented,
I'm not sorry.

There is a reward
for me, 700 pesos.

- Nobody here wants blood money.

- That was stupid to tell them,

they're all thieves
and murderers here.

- Why are you here?

- I had holy books in my house.

(prisoner laughing)

Will you hear my confession?

- Not here, my child,

there is no silence, no secrets.

- It's been such a long time.

- No, make an act of contrition

and trust in God
to make allowances.

- Dear God, I am sorry
for having offended thee.

- We're all sinners here, all.

I, right now, I want a drink,

I want a drink
more than anything,

more than God, that is a sin.

- Now I see what kind
of a priest you are,

if your bishop knew.

- My bishop is a long way off.

- He's the only priest we
have, so let him alone.

- When I get out of here,
I shall write to him.

- Try not to be angry, try
to pray for me instead.

- Pray for you?

The sooner you're
dead, the better.

- 700 pesos, don't
you want money?

You rob for it, you kill for it,

and here it is with
no trouble at all.

700 pesos, you could
divide it amongst you,

will no one be my Judas?

- You better try to
get some sleep, father,

soon it will be morning.

(calm orchestral music)

Let's go, everybody out!

Come on, come on, come
on, wake up, get up.

Come on, come on, what are
you waiting around for?

Come on, get out in the yard!

Go on, move, move, come on!

- Yeah, did you have a
nice sleep, smuggler?

- Not really.

- Good, that'll teach you
not to like brandy too much.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

you have to work for your
night's lodging, you know?

Take this and the pales
from the other cells

and empty them
out into the yard.

And don't spell any, this
place thinks enough as it is.

Come on, what are
you waiting for?

Over there, over there!

Come on, get moving!

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, what are you doing here?

They know who you are?

- They caught me
with the brandy,

did they arrest you too?

- Me?

Oh, no, no, no, I
am a guest here,

a very important guest.

- Why?

- Because I have
information they need.

- Oh, I see, you made
a deal with them.

- Oh no, no, no,
no, not like this.

Everything go wrong now,

why you let them catch you?

It looks crooked to me.

- I'm sorry?

- I am the one who's
supposed to find you,

who's gonna get the reward
if they already catch you?

The chief of police, I suppose,
or that filthy sergeant.

- There is also the red shirts.

- What red shirts?

- The ones who caught me.

- Oh Santa Maria, not
one centavo for me.

- I expect they will
give you something.

- Something, oh no, why
should I not have it all?

No, they don't know
who you are yet.

- Not yet.

- Well, don't you tell them,

not until the right moment,

do it for my sake, father.

- For your sake?

- You wanna get
caught, don't you?

And I am a poor man who
has never had a chance.

- Not for you.
- Do it for me, father.

- For anyone, but you.

- A poor man who's
never had a chance?

You are a priest, aren't you?

I implore you...

- What's the trouble here?

- Please, I wish to see
whoever is in charge.

- Very well, that can
be arranged, follow me.

Sir, prisoner
requesting an interview.

- [Lieutenant] All right.

- If you please, sir, I am...

- Yes.

Now, what is it, what
do you want to tell me?

Have I seen you before?

- You took a hostage
from my village.

- You had a daughter, huh?

What are you doing in the city?

- I came to buy tools.

- And you spent all
the money on drink,

and now you have now you have
no money to pay your fine,

what are you going to do?

- God knows.

- God knows, God knows,
you people are all alike,

when are you going to learn
that God knows nothing?

Back home, you planted
your crops yet?

- The soil is very bad

between the mountains
and the marshes.

- Well, go across the mountains,

the soil in the next
state is very good.

- Everybody's always
telling me to go away.

- Well, take their advice.

Now, how will you get
food on the way home?

- I have begged before.

- Well, we will have no
beggars in this state.

Here, you take this, if
there's any leftover,

you buy a bit of chocolate
for your daughter.

- You mean I can go?

- Now, get out of here, tramp!

Don't let me see
your face again.

- I think I will try the
other side of the frontier.

Lieutenant, you are a good man.

(suspenseful music)

- Hey, hey wait a
minute, you forgot this.

(guitar music)

(suspenseful music)

(peaceful music)

(suspenseful music)

(curious music)

- The child, the little
girl, where is she?

- Fever, muerte.

(peaceful music)

- Come back, come
back, in grief he cried,

across the stormy water.

(dramatic music)

(gunshots booming)

(suspenseful music)

(woman whimpering)

(curious music)

No, don't be afraid,
I'm a priest.

Tell me what happened.

- The soldiers come,
fight with gringo.

- I heard the shots,
but the child.

- Gringo, like this.

- He used her as a shield?

I'm sorry, she's dead.

(woman wailing)

There's nowhere to bury
her, give her to me.

(dramatic music)

Rest eternal grant
unto her, oh Lord,

let light perpetual
shine on her,

may she rest in peace, amen.

(dramatic music)

- Who are you?

- Kill me, kill me
now if you want,

or a soldier, tell a
soldier I'm a priest.

- Priest?

But father.

- No, leave me, I
can give myself up,

I don't want to trouble anybody.

So is this a barracks?

Where are the soldiers?

- Father, you are the first
priest who has come here in...

The bell must be rung.

and vestment such as these,

how fortunate you
preserved them.

- Oh, father, we knew
someday a priest would come.

- [Delgado] It was a miracle
you got across the frontier.

- Yes, yes, I think
it was a miracle.

- You were the only
priest in the state?

- Yes.
- Then why didn't you stay?

- It's easy enough to talk.

- [School Master] Wasn't
it your duty to stay?

- You forget that a priest's
first duty sometimes

must be to remain alive.

- Yes.
- That's right.

- You think I crossed the
frontier for no reason?

You know nothing of
what goes on over there,

even the bishop is uninformed,

I must report to him

and we must sit down
together and organize,

organize for the future.

- Yes, father.
- These plans must be made,

you understand what I'm saying?

- You mustn't blame him, father.

- Of course, I mustn't expect
wisdom from the cynical.

(crowd laughing)

So you see, my
children, I must leave.

- No.
- But, father...

- It's been pleasant here,

but I must now continue
my journey to las Casas.

- But, father...
- Of course he must leave,

in las Casas the
church is still rich,

cathedral with gold leaf.

- It's only paint.

- [Delgado] When, father?

- I have till tomorrow.

- [Crowd] Tomorrow?

- But father, I two
children to be baptized.

- I have three.

- And there are others.

- I will do them in the morning,

pass the word around, and
it will be two pesos each.

- Two?

We are very poor, father.

- So is the church, my friend.

- [School Master] We charge
them nothing for school.

- I have to travel to las Casas,

payment for the horse,
payment for board and lodging,

payment, payment, payment.

- [School Master]
Payments (spits).

(crowd chattering)

- How many baptisms
will there be?

- In the whole town,
there will be nearly 100.

- 100, how lovely, 200 pesos,

now, let me see.

1.50 each.

- One peso, father.

- Nope.

- 1.50.

- Tell everyone to bring
their children in the morning.

- All right.
- Yes, father.

- And the money.

- I'll tell them, father.

- When you get through
with the baptisms, father,

come and have breakfast
at my cantina?

- Why not?

- And we'll have
a little something

for the road, hey (laughs)?

- Why not?

(peaceful music)

- You're gonna like las Casas,
father, that's a real town,

electric lights, street
cars, two hotels,

and the cathedral is so big,

you could put this
whole village inside it.

- After 10 years
of my kind of life,

I must say, I'm
looking forward to it.

- Will you try some
of this, father?

It's good stuff.

- Salut.

- Salut.

It's very good.

- Why don't you take
a few bottles with
you on your journey,

say, a dozen bottles
for 60 pesos?

- You forget how poor I am.

- Oh, father, you've
just done 100 baptisms

at two pesos each.

- 1.50.

- Well, even so.

- Anyway, I don't
need a dozen bottles.

- Well, let's say six bottles

at 5 pesos each,
that's 40 pesos.

- 30.

- Oh, I tell you what,

six bottles for 25, 25 pesos,

it's a sacrifice, I'd be
losing money on the deal.

- Then why do you sell?

- Because between
you and me, father,

that isn't strictly true.

(both laughing)

- Your horses are ready, father.

- Oh, Victorio,
bring a saddlebag,

we have something to pack.

- Let's see, here is 10, 15, 25.

- [Delgado] Right,
I go get them ready.

- Father, I've
brought you a gift,

a little farewell
present from all of us.

- Oh, you should not have
spent your money on me.

- Open it, open it now.

- Oh, playing cards.

- Oh, not for gaming,
father, for tricks,

when you get to las Casas,

you can do the wonderful tricks

for the people there,
like you did for us,

and they will love
you as we love you.

- God bless you, my child.

- Goodbye, father.

- Goodbye.

(suspenseful music)

Somehow I'm not surprised.

I had a feeling I
should see you again.

Well, did you bring
the soldiers with you?

- Oh, what a thing
to say, father.

- [Priest] What trick
are you playing now?

- Well, you shouldn't
say things like that.

- [Priest] No.

- No, I am here on
an errand of mercy.

- Of what?

- Oh, father, you see,
you are the only priest

this side of las Casas,
and a man is dying.

- What man?

- Well, the gringo,

the murderer the
soldiers are looking for.

- He wouldn't need me.

- Oh yes, father, he's a good
Catholic and he is dying,

and you and I would
not like to have

on our conscience what
that man must have on his.

- We shall be lucky
if we have not worse.

- What do you mean?

- He has only robbed and killed,

he has not betrayed his friends.

- Goodbye, father.

- Safe journey.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, good people.

- Where're you going?

- Las Casas.

- Yeah, fine priest you are,

your bishop should hear of this,

a man is dying and
wants to confess,

and just because you are
anxious to get to the city...

- Why do you think
me such a fool?

You think I don't
know why you're here?

You are the only man
who can recognize me

and they can't follow
me into this state,

and now if I ask you
where this American is,

you will tell me he's just the
other side of the frontier.

- Oh no, father, he
is just this side.

- You're lying.

- Oh, father, I admit a lot,
but I am a good Catholic,

father look, hey,
he sent a message.

- For Christ's
sake, father, come.

- [Mestizo] There's blood on it.

You don't trust me.

- No.

- You gonna tell your bishop?

- Tell him what?

- When you get to las Casas,

you're gonna tell your
bishop you refused

to give confession to a
man dying in moral sin.

- Lies, all lies.

- No, father, no, look,

I was with him when
the police find him,

look, he pick up a little girl,

he hold her in front of him.

- What happened to
the little girl?

- [Mestizo] He's killed, father,

oh, but he's only an Indian.

- If I were to go back,
would the man still be alive?

- I think so, father.

(dramatic music)

- Senor School Master,
if I leave a gift,

will you spend it on
things that do no harm?

I mean, food, blankets,
not books, hey?

- They need food more
than they need books.

- There should be more
than 100 pesos there.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- And you can sell
those back to Delgado.

- Go along, run along now.

- Conscience money?

- Yes.

- All the same, I thank you,

it's good to see a
priest to the conscience,

it's a stage in evolution.

- Oh, what did you do that for?

- I won't be needing
money anymore, will I?

(dramatic music)

Here?

- He was there when I left.

- Well, he could
not move, could he?

My son.

- Beat it, father.
- So you are alive, are you?

We better hurry, we
haven't much time.

- Beat it, father.

- You sent for me,
you are a Catholic.

- Get the hell out of here.

- How long since
your last confession?

- Not 10 years, I guess,

look father, you
better get out of here.

- Not now, the sooner
your confession is done,

the sooner I will be gone.

- No, don't bother
about me, I'm through.

- You mean damned?

- Yeah, damned.

- Now, you listen to me,

I've come to hear
your confession,

do you not want to confess?

- No.

- Did you when you
wrote that note?

- Maybe, now...

- I know what you're
trying to warn me of,

I know, I do understand,
now you let that be,

just remember, you're dying,

don't depend too
much on God's mercy,

he has given you
this one chance,

he may not give you another.

- Father, take my gun,

and clear out of here.
- No, I haven't any use

for any gun.

- You will have, here.

- Now, now, you lie
still, it isn't there.

- Oh...
- No, no,

try to remember,
you believed once,

now you have
murdered many people,

that may not be so important,

it only belongs to
this life after all,

a few years and it is over,

now you can drop all
of that here, now,

and you can go on forever.

- You don't worry about me,

you look

after yourself, father.
- No, no, no,

no quick, no, (speaks
in foreign language).

Oh merciful God, after
all he was thinking of me,

it was for my sake
he didn't confess.

- You finish?

- I wanna thank you.

- For what?

- For leaving me alone with him.

- I'm not a barbarian.

- [Officer] Lieutenant.

- [Lieutenant] Yeah?

- It's starting to rain.

- Well, take shelter,

we'll wait till it's over.

I must ask you not
to try to escape.

- I've had enough of escaping.

Are you going to shoot me now?

- No, you'll be tried first.

- For what?

- Treason.

- You mean I have to
go all the way back?

- All the way back.

You know, I would
swear somewhere...

- Oh yes, you have
seen me twice,

the first time you came to
take a hostage from my village,

you asked my daughter,
Who is your father?

She pointed at me
and said Him.

- Sit down over here,
away from the door.

So you have a daughter, huh?

- Yes.

- You, a priest?

- There are good
priests and bad priests,

it's just that I am a bad one.

- Perhaps we'll be doing
your church a service.

You said I've seen you twice?

- I came to your jail,
you gave me money.

- What an appalling mockery

to have had you and let you go,

keep your hands in sight.

- Oh, it's only...

May I?

- You're afraid, huh?

Now what?

- Oh, just a few playing
cards to pass the time.

- Hey, why did you come
back across the frontier,

wasn't the trap obvious?

- Oh yes, it was, but it
was not you that sent it.

- [Lieutenant] Who then?

- I have dreamed for a long time

of being at peace with
God and with myself,

now I am, except for
this appalling fear.

- You have the satisfaction
of becoming a martyr.

- Mm-mm, martyrs are strong men,

were it not for this,

I would be on my knees
right now, begging for life.

- You know I had five
men shot because of you?

My own people, I wanted to
give them the whole world.

- Perhaps that is what you did.

- That's priest talk.

What has your church ever done

for the people of
this country, huh?

You ever excommunicate
a landlord for
whipping his peasant?

Oh yeah, in the confession room,

you would probably say to him,

Oh, you must repent, my son.

So then he invites you to dinner

and it's your duty not

to know he's just
kicked a man to death,

and we have ideas too, no
more money for saying prayers,

and no more money for building
places to say prayers in.

- Now, listen to me, I'm not
as dishonest as you think,

when I tell people they
are in danger of damnation,

I'm not telling
them any fairy story

I don't believe in myself.

I have served God worse
than any man in this state,

and if there is one
man to be condemned,

then I must be standing
beside him on that final day,

I don't wanna be different,

I want justice, that is all.

- And I want justice too,
but I want it here and now.

We teach people to
read, we give them food,

we see that they don't suffer.

- And yet you
suffer all the time.

- For what?

- At this moment,
I believe, for me.

(suspenseful music)

- Now you listen to me,

I don't like to kill
people, not even priests.

Pain now, what's it gonna
matter in 100 years?

- Yeah.

- Aren't you gonna argue?

- I agree.

- It's odd that you
and I should agree.

- Lieutenant, lieutenant.

- What do you want?

- [Officer] The
rain has stopped.

- Dig a hole for that, saddle
a horse for the prisoner.

- Lieutenant.

- Yes.

- You have seen many people
shot, people like me,

does it hurt for a long time?

- Only a second.

- A second, how
long is a second?

- [Advertiser] Selecting the

(singing in foreign language)

- [Lieutenant] I suppose
you're praying for a miracle.

- Excuse me, what did you say?

- I said, I suppose you're
praying for a miracle.

- Oh, no.

- You believe in
them, don't you?

- Yes, but it would
not be very wise

of God to keep me alive.

- I brought you something.

- Isn't it against the law?

- We make allowances
for the dying.

Better?

- Thank you.

- There's something
I don't understand.

Years ago, why did
you of all people stay

when the others ran away?

Was it love of God?

- I would like to think so,

but I am afraid it
was a sort of pride.

- Your God doesn't
seem very grateful,

the man's served me as
well as you served him,

I seem to have got a
promotion, I'll get my reward.

- Yeah, I'm sure you
would, lieutenant,

you're a good man.

All your comrades, for instance,

your chief of police,
is he like you?

- We have our bad men,
just as you have yours.

- Yes, but there
is this difference,

you have to have good men,
you can't do without them,

you will never achieve your
ends unless you have them,

but there will not
always be good men

in your party,
what happens then?

All the old crookedness
and cruelties,

the starving, beating,
get rich quick,

anyway, anyhow, just as before.

Whereas, it doesn't
matter that I am a cowered

and a drunkard and all that,

I can put God in a man's
mouth, just the same,

I can give him God's pardon,

it wouldn't matter to that man

if every priest in the
church were as bad as me.

- You might as well know,

you've been tried
and found guilty.

- When?
- Tomorrow morning.

(dramatic music)

But listen, you're
not such a bad fellow,

is there anything
I can do for you?

- Please give me
permission to confess.

- There's no priest.

- Padre Jose.

- He's no good to you.

- Is it likely I will
find anyone better?

(dramatic music)

- This man, this priest,

he's been working secretly
for years for your church,

he's suffered,
he's been haunted,

and now he's gonna be shot.

- It's my duty.

- But you are not
a priest anymore,

taking care of me,
that's your duty.

- I swear to you
no one will know.

- It's impossible.

- [Woman] Come to bed, Jose.

- Tell him I will pray.

- He won't come.

- You mean not tonight?

- I mean he won't come at all.

- He was afraid, I suppose.

Poor man.

- You want some more brandy?

- No, thank you, I'm
quite drunk already.

- Listen father, everybody
got to die sometime,

doesn't matter so much when.

- You are a good man, you
have nothing to be afraid of.

- You have such odd ideas.

- God, will you be offended

if I speak into
your ear directly?

There is no one
to absolve me now,

no one to hear the words
that give the spirit rest.

I have served you badly,

I've been a very
mockery of service,

the people in this
state deserved a saint,

you did not send them one,

for some reason,

which I cannot understand,
you sent them me.

Oh God, I am very sorry,

I beg pardon for my sins,

I've been useless, and I just
as well never have been born,

but if my life has
had no meaning,

let my death not be the
same, let it be an atonement,

so that when your torch
shall be rekindled

in more worthy men, may it
burn a little for me too.

I thank you, God,

for your grace and love,
be with me at the end

(dramatic music)

- Father.
- Get out of here,

you're done with God.

- Father.

- What do you want?

- Your blessing.

- What's the good of that?

You can't sell a blessing.

- Oh all right,
it's just that you

and I will not see each
other again, father,

and I do not want
you going out there.

- You go home and pray,

and then if you have
the grace to feel sorry,

you give away the money.

- Money, what money?

There you go again.

(men grunting)

- [Officer] Attention!

- Put this over your eyes.

- If you please.

All right.

Are you able to stand?

- I think so.

- Good.

- Lieutenant, are your men,

do they shoot well, hm?

- I'm afraid not always.

- Will you, personally...

- I promise.

(gunshots booming)

(gunshot booming)

(dramatic music)

- [Officer] (shouts commands).

- What's the matter?

- I had a dream last night,

I dreamed I was walking
in a long corridor,

there's the sound of laughter.

The corridor went on
forever, there were no doors.

- Cheer up, my
friend, after all,

you just shot the last priest.

- The priest has more lives
than I have bullets in my gun.

I shot him a year ago, I
shot him again last June,

I killed him twice in the
winter, and again today.
