Original subtitles

He's Juan Aldije, 'The Frenchman,' and he doesn't like his fate at all,

along with Mu�oz Lopera, he's bound to make a strong business.

The Frenchman's got a house, which they turn it into a gambling den.

THE FRENCHMAN'S ORCHARD. Where women serve you with

some sly and spurious love.

Oh, Ni�o de los Remedios, (Boy of all Remedies) oh Virgin of the Macarena

the lyrics of this song fill me with bitter sorrows, fill me with bitter sorrows.

In that accursed place where the poor couldn't come in

happily the rich, spent their money plenty.

As gambling is forbidden, their business is illegal.

But they don't care at all, 'cause they make lots of money.

Oh, Ni�o de los Remedios, oh Virgin of the Macarena

the lyrics of this song fill me with bitter sorrows, fill me with bitter sorrows.

If anyone tries to resist, and doesn't let himself be fooled,

they take him into the orchard, and mercilessly kill him.

Oh, Ni�o de los Remedios, oh Virgin of the Macarena

the lyrics of this song fill me with bitter sorrows, fill me with bitter sorrows.

Hey, is there no tobacco?

PE�AFLOR.

It's not as good with your wife. Confess it's not as good.

Don't talk about my wife.

I don't envy her Juan. I'm the one who owns you for real, not her.

Where's Juan?

He's up there with Charo.

They've been up there for long?

For a while. But you know, when they lock themselves up it's for long.

Are you staying?

Yes. I'm tired.

Tell the people to cut short their games.

A-huh.

Should I get you some wine?

If Jos� is down there, tell them to start throwing the people out. They spend the night with just a bottle of wine...

And you girls have to rest.

You are so kind a boss, Juan.

Here, drink.

I don't want any more, I feel dizzy.

Dizzy? But, this wine doesn't get you dizzy.

Here, drink!

You drink, I don't feel good.

As you wish. (She's got him angry).

I told you.

Whoa!

Don't you like.. riding a horse?

Gee up! Gee up!

Where's Juan?

Upstairs.

I gotta talk to him.

Go upstairs.

Call him, I want to see what's with these.

Gee up! Go! Gee up!

Is there any problem?

No yet. They've drunk several bottles of wine and these 'se�oritos' can bear to little.

I betcha' you've never ridden so fast.

You're wrong, Ricardo. A woman never rides, a woman is ridden.

It's true Rafael.

Let's go, get down!

That's it!

Be still!

You'll see.

C'mon!

Let's go. Let's go.

Whoa.

BE STILL!

Don't you dare standing up! Get on all fours!

You're a wild mare, don't you?

On all four!

Leave the girl alone, se�orito Ricardo.

What's the matter? Can't we... have a little fun?

Nice stride, yessir! And nice rump.

That's enough, se�orito! Leave the girl alone!

She's not a purebred.

She's an old worn-out mare.

Leave the girl.

I've said, leave the girl.

Go get that gash mended.

Pay and leave.

Pay, Rafael.

Hit the streets.

Why did you stay quiet?

He's insulted you, Ricardo. Why didn't you do anything?

Because he would have killed me, Rafael.

I'm sure he would have killed me.

I gotta talk to you.

Let's go.

There are some news.

Jos� Lopengo is coming tomorrow. He's a livestock broker from Ja�n.

The train arrives at dawn. He wants me to go to the station and bring him here directly.

That's good, mon ami.

How can you remain so calm?

If both of us were as nervous, this bussiness wouldn't work.

C'mon, Jos�.

Here, have a joint, man.

Tonight we'll open an expensive bottle of wine. We must celebrate the news.

Damn ! If you were the one to snuff 'em, we would be dead already!

Do you have much things to do, today?

I'll be free at night.

Will you take to the Virgin's hermitage?

We'll go. By the way, that remains me I must bring alms to the hermitage.

You're such a good person, Juan.

You're family wouldn't say so.

But it's me who married you.

Them... the only thing they're not happy with... is your Orchard.

I see.

But the Orchard gives me money. The last thing I needed was having your father pay for the expenses of my house.

Besides, having a inn isn't such a big deal.

Don't they gamble in there?

They do it on the town's casino aswell.

And there are women in there?

Only for the players.

Are faithful to me?

Quite faithful, Elvira. What time would you want to us go to the hermitage?

After eating. In this time of the year we appreciate a little sun warmth.

Then I'll be in the Orchard. I still have some time to work the land.

Juan. There's someone looking for you.

Who's looking for me?

Some woman. I don't know her.

I won't allow a new girl. Between Socorro, Roc�o and me, we're more than able to manage the whole thing.

You shut up. Tell her to come

I can put up with you're wife because there's no choice. But if you you think I'm gonna keep my mouth shut

while you bring a new girl and fall for her, you've got another thing coming .

You're talking nonsense. I don't know who that girl is maybe it's Jos�'s bussiness.

Not even a pregnant bitch would set eyes on Jos�.

What's more, she's asked for you.

Tell that woman to come.

I won't allow it.

Go now and tell her to come. Go!

Hello, Juan.

Andrea. What are you doing here?

When have you arrived?

I arrived an hour ago.

A farmworker brought me in his car from the river bank.

You could have let me know. You could have written.

It was better to come.

Juan, I'm pregnant.

Are you sure, Andrea?

Absolutely sure. I haven't had my period since the last time you were in Lora.

Now, from time to time I feel dizzy and sick.

Juan, what am I going to do?

First of all, don't panic, everything can be fixed. You've done well coming here. We'll find a solution.

I've told my mother I was leaving to Sevilla, looking for a job.

It was better to leave, before I couldn't hide it.

I've told you you've done well coming here. You don't look too good.

I haven't had a meal since yesterday.

Well, first of all, you must eat. You'll be here with us until we've solved the problem.

We need some more spice.

I didn't know Juan had a niece.

If he had one she should live in France, wouldn't she?

She must be form his mother's branch.

She's beautiful.

That's why they've got her pregnant.

She seems a nice girl.

Look... maybe she's done it just once, and she's pregnant already. But we, instead...

That's because we're so clever. You above all.

Why don't you go upstairs and make the beds.

All right. But anyways... I think she's a good girl...

A saint... that's what she is.

Don't be afraid, you'll see how everything gets fixed.

Then, if you get bored you can go upstairs. Socorro and me will be making the beds.

Thank you.

Oh... and if you need anything... you know, you only have to ask.

You'll see.

Here you can get into nice timbirambas (poker games). There are many enthusiasts of the game. Come.

I come with the intention of staying for two months.

There's no better gambling den in all this region than 'The Frenchman's Orchard.'

They only play big bets here.

I hope to have some fun.

Tonight comes a payo (non-gypsy) full of money. He's a cardsharp like you, and full of cash. You'll wipe him out.

For every five bucks I earn, one's for you, right?

It's a fair share, don't it?

They wouldn't have let you in.

Come in.

And if the Civiles come, while they're knocking in the gates, you and the others go upstairs into the rooms like simple hosts.

All right.

You real lucky to come here.

So I hope.

Jos�, here's the money.

Juan, what time is it?

A while ago, the town's bell tower tolled two.

What time is it?

It's nine o'clock.

What's the hurry? Where are you going?

I have brought you breakfast to bed, it's Sunday.

You look tired.

I'm beginning to hate that 'Orchard.'

And not for the reasons my fathers hate it.

But because it takes away all your time... and I can barely see you.

Today is a holy day. You're not going to the Orachard, are you?

I have to. There are some issues.

But I'll be away just for two hours.

Will we go to noon Mass?

We will.

Ouch! You do it worse every time, Don Antonio!

Rather, I'll say you're behinds gets tighter every time, my child.

Don Antonio...

What's the matter, my child?

Will you tell Don Juan?

I don't have an option, Socorrito. If you don't get treatment it could get really bad for you.

Oh, and no 'slap', huh.

From here to here, salicylates. From here to here, bicarbonate.

And... from the waist down... permanganate.

Well...

...I'll see you within fifteen days, girls.

May God be with you.

Why did this had to happen to me?

Because the only men who come here a lousy bastards, peasants who get laid even with their mules.

You'll see how you get well right away... A month or two, and you'll be working again.

But I need the money I earn! I need it!

I got a son in Carmona and I must take care of him.

I need the money.

Everything will be OK.

Goodbye, my child.

Goodbye.

Any news, don Antonio?

Yes, there are. And not pleasant ones .

Socorrito's got gonorrhea. She'll have to leave for 2 or 3 months and get treatment.

Well, she'll go.

The thing is the girl seems to need the money.

What can I do about it?

Do you have something to tell, Juan?

It was nonsense.

Say it, everybody talks nonsense.

Would you perform an operation... let's say... illegal?

Of course not.

Even if you get paid a lot of money.

I'm a little old, already, to try and get rich. Sometimes I think you're a little insane, Juan.

You can't make this kind of proposals to a town council physician.

Forget it.

Besides, the girl is young, and she can deliver perfectly.

What girl?

That girl, the one who is hanging out clothes in the shed.

Goodbye, Juan.

Juan.

Did you rest well?

Yes, I did.

It was hard for me. I don't know why, but I can't stop thinking about it.

You should not worry. I'm trying to fix it all up.

I'd like to have your child, Juan. Even if I had to go away, and you only came to see us once in a while .

Calm down, Andrea. We'll see what's for the best.

Yes, Juan.

What could we do for Socorro?

What do you do when a worker suffers and accident? He stops working.

Socorro, in his condition, could pass a syphilis to any Se�orito, and cause us big problems.

Do you plan helping her with any money?

This is not an asylum, Charo. I'll pay for her trip wherever she wants to go.

Roc�o and me are planning to help her with what we can.

You're free to do as you will.

Good morning, Jos�.

Hello, Juan.

You'll have to go today to Palmar del R�o. You'll bring that woman Gracia with you.

Yes, Juan

What time will you leave?

After meal. Tomorrow afternoon I'll be back with the woman.

That's all I wanted to tell you. Oh, if you meet Socorro ask her if she wants you to take her there.

We can always save some bucks.

As you wish, Juan.

What do you plan to do with the girl, Juan?

I have to help her.

Specially, because she carries your child in her womb.

What does it matter now?

I've come to see you, being Sunday.

What will you do with her when she's had the abortion?

I'll send her back home.

Andrea!

Tell me, Juan.

You don't have to worry anymore about it. I've sent for a woman who will help you.

Don't you want our child to be born?

It wouldn't be good, nor for me nor for you. I'm a married man, Andrea. I always told you about it, I never hid it from you.

It's true, you never hid it.

Besides, the thing's not so serious. You have nothing to blame yourself for.

One day I went buying some grain into your hometown, and I met you.

I've harmed you, I know...

But that woman really knows how to do these things. In a few days you'll be able to go back home like nothing'd happened.

I don't want to go back, Juan.

Well, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to go back, we'll find a way to avoid it.

You must not be afraid, Andrea. It'll be like a brief illness.

Do you still love me, Juan?

Sure I love you.

If there was any danger in it, I wouldn't mention it. Believe me.

How many times have you missed the thing?

Four times.

Too many.

Yeah... too many.

But we'll fix it.

You'll see, how we fix it.

Are you sure he's coming?

He's coming. And this one comes loaded. He's just sold his cattle.

Are you sure he won't tell anyone he's planning to spend the night here?

When someone's planning on gambling all his money, he doesn' tell anyone, Juan.

As you see it's been a round trip.

And the girl?

Upstairs, tidying the rooms.

What's with you today, Elvira?

I'm so happy, Juan. I've got great news to tell you.

(More nonsense)

Calm down, and tell me what is it.

Can't you even guess what is it?

Father is granting us with the Junquera olive groves and the Roquedal vineyards.

He says his grown old and doesn't need as much.

This way you can get rid of the Orchard, and you won't have to be there all day working like a dog.

Juan, we'll have much more time for us. And we'll have enough money to go to C�rdova and Sevilla on holidays.

Doesn't it make you happy?

Say something for Christ's sake.

You don't get it. Your father isn't giving US those porperties. He's giving them to you!

The 'Orchard,' instead, is mine, I've bought it with my money, and I work it by myself.

Are you saying you don't want them?

I'm saying you can accept whatever you want from your father, Elvira. But I'm not selling the 'Orchard.'

When your father had to accept me, he said something that made me smile.

He said: 'You'll never make my daughter happy.'

Now I see he might have been right.

Why do you say so?

Because deep inside you're not happy. Without saying a word, you reproach me for lending money at a high interest rate.

For owning such a bussiness like 'the Orchard.'

You'r wrong, Juan.

No, no. Je ne ne pas �tre n� hier, cherie.

You never lacked anything. And I'm making sure everything remains as it's been. No matter what it takes.

How do you think your family got their money?

Simply exploiting the farm workers. What's the difference between what your father did and what I may be doing?

My father only wants us...

... to be happy? It may be so. But it's too late.

Why too late?

I'v already taken a certain path. A hard path. I can't go back now.

Drink. It'll do you good.

I'm so weak. I'm feeling so sleepy.

In a few moments you'll sleep as much as you want.

C'mon, my child.

It's not going to hurt very much, right?

Less than you think. You'll see

Give me two more pillows.

I'm not feeling well. If I'm not required...

Stay. You must help.

Have you boiled it?

Yes, we had it one quarter of an hour in boiling water

Hold her.

She must not move at all.

If she does, I may not reach the fetus , and could pierce her womb.

Hold her well!

Don't let her move.

She has lost consciuosness.

It's better.

You'll have take her up to her room.

How is she?

When I arrived she was asleep. I think she's had a bad night.

The old woman says we don't have to worry about anything.

Leave the room if you want to.

Have you seen the midwife?

No, not yet.

She wanted to see as soon as your arrived.

She says she wants leave as soons as possible.

Tell her to wait for me downstairs.

Don't talk. It's all over. In a few days you'll be OK, and you may able to go back home

Juan. I don't wan to go back.

Calm down, we'll talk. Try to rest.

It's all fixed.

The truth is you men are all pigs!

Shut up!

Yeah, I shut up. Jos� was waiting for you.

What did you want from me?

The cattle guy arrives tonight.

I know.

Is there anything in particular about it?

I don't know. I'm nervous. I think something's going to go wrong.

Why would anything go wrong?

That girl is going to have a bad night. It's not as always, with all of them girls sleeping.

That girl can't see anything form her room. And she's not able to walk yet. She must keep rest.

I don't know.

Are you afraid of the bullet, Jos�?

When will we end all this, Juan?

When you have enough money to buy yourself some land... far away from here.

When I... can slap my father-in-law in the face with a wad of bills all over the town.

That's when, Jos�.

Go on, come on in.

Here we go.

I've been waiting for some time now to get to play in secrecy.

Well, let's play now.

Merde! He barely carries any money.

But... this man isn't F�lix Bonilla from C�rdova!

Well, it's what says here.

Well, he should carry lots of money! He's just sold his cattle!

He just doesn't have it.

Dammit.

What was that?

I don't know.

Let's go. We'll cover it up later.

Do you think she saw anything?

I don't know.

She must have fainted for what he saw.

No.

She fainted because of this...

Do you feel better?

Yes, Juan.

Why did you rise from your bed? Why did you come down?

I heard noises outside. I didn't know Jos� and you were working.

You should not move form this bed, Andrea. The midwife said so.

I'm better now, Juan. I can't remain all day in bed.

Now, try to sleep.

Yes, Juan.

She hasn't seen anything. She thought we were working.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Is this 'the Frenchman's Orchard'?

Yes, it's here.

Excuse me for calling at this late hour I lingered on the way. I come from Posadas.

What did you want?

I had an appointment here with a friend, F�lix Bonilla. I suppose he's in already.

Nobody has come today.

We had to meet here to finalize a deal.

He may come tomorrow.

If you agreed to meet in the 'Frenchman's Orchard' this is the place.

Come in, come in.

OK.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Do you have a room?

Yes.

Jos�. Get a room ready for this gentleman.

Care for a drink?

I really need it.

The night dew's got me drenched to the bone.

It's weird F�lix hasn't arrived yet.

If he's come on train, it's no wonder. Maybe he found some portion of the railroad ruined and thought it better to see you tomorrow.

That's why I travel in my own horse, there's nothing like one's own horse.

Of course. Don't worry about your horse, Jos� will get him into the stable and feed him.

You can gamble here, right?

In secrecy, right?

Sometimes.

What happens, is that F�lix told me we could finalize our deal here.

And later, celebrate it with a few games and a some girls.

Don't worry we'll have cards and girls.

The room is ready, Juan.

Thank you very much.

One more drink?

No, I'm tired. What I really want right now is to sleep a little. I'll go get my things.

Jos� can get what you want.

No, don't bother. I'll be right back.

There's that money we couldn't find, Jos�.

Are we going to...

Not tonight. Let him enjoy himself a little.

Go on an help him, Jos�. Unless I'm wrong, this one is really loaded.

Your friend F�lix really missing something.

What happens is this guy doesn't have a word, if we agreed here, it's here!

Maybe he sold his cattle to some other guy, he can't fool me!

He'll come, man, he'll come.

And what's with you, girl?

And now, the game.

There will be no game. Without F�lix, why gambling?

I only wanted to play so I could get that cattle for free.

There will be other players, Se�or Rejano, you can get a nice share.

No, I only cared about clearing out F�lix.

If F�lix doesn't there's no game, man, no game!

He may yet come.

If you say so...

Now comes the good part, Don Miguel.

Some woman?

Better than this one? (The things one has to hear...)

The best of all Andaluc�a. You'll see.

We must do it know, he's planning to leave in the early morning.

It's dangerous here upstairs. The women may awaken.

They've drank a lot, nobody will notice.

Leave that.

We'll count it later.

We must take him downtairs, and get some new bedclothes.

Pick up everything of his in the room and take it into the cellar.

Whatever you say...

Take all these things to the kitchen and burn them in the oven. I'll go dig the grave.

What's the matter?

What are we going to tell the women when they see this man is not in his room?

We'll tell them he left in the early morning, you must take away his horse and sell it where you can.

Let's go. Hurry up!

You're better now, right?

Would you care lending me a hand with the ironing?

Why don't you want to sell that 'Orchard'?

People like you who own many lands can't understand.

Every parcel of that orchard, I've worked it myself. Every strike of the hoe... holds a memory to me.

They.. my parents... think that place doesn't become us.

That it's now well you allow gambling in there... and women.

There's a solution...

Which one?

The only thing I want is that orchard to be always mine... That nobody works those lands but me...

I could closed down the inn.

Would you do that for me?

I will. Give me some time.

Do you have to leave so soon?

Work can wait.

When are you leaving?

I don't know. I may stay.

Are you planning to work here in the Orchard?

It all depends on Juan's decision.

Juan will be thrilled with the view of having another woman in the house to entertain the clients.

In fact, since Socorro had to leave we're missing one girl.

Juan wouldn't think a work like this fits me.

Oh, yeah! But it fits Roc�o and me, right? What do you think we are made of?

I didn't mean to say Roc�o and you...

...are whores? Well, yeah, we are. And you too.

Or do you think the midwife was only scratching your navel?

Shut up! I did what Juan told me because it was his child.

Of course it was his. I also had three of his children, that witch helped me deliver them.

Shut up, I beg you shut up!

Why should I shut up? If you're going to stay here you must know it all.

Yes, Juan is married. But I'm her bedmate and I won't allow a shithead like you come and..

Cunt! I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Have you gone mad?

What's wrong with you?

That bitch's tried to mark me!

Leave her!

I'll kill her!

Leave her!

Let go!

I'll put some wet bicarbonate on your skin.

Open the door, you fucking whore, open the door!

I'm going to pull out you eyes! Open now!

Let's go down right away, it's going to leave you a scar!

Open the door! Open the door! I'm going to get in even if I have to tear the door down. Open it!

Leave her Charo, for Christ's sake!

What's happening?

Look what's she's done to me! I'm gonna kill her!

I was telling her to... to go down with me into the kitchen. With a bicarbonate dressing the swelling may stop.

Go downstairs, I'll talk to her.

Andr�s, she's got to pay!

Go downstairs!

I swear I'll kill her.

C'mon, let's go.

Open up, Andrea, it's me.

She told me I was a slut. She told me you had me here to get me laid with anyone who came around.

Tell me it isn't true, Juan.

Tell me what that woman said isn't true .

I didn't mean to do it. I swear you I didn't mean it!

Let's go away form here. This house is horrible!

I'll help you forget all of this. All of this, but let's go away, please!

Let's go away from here!

You've ruined it all, Andrea. Now you can't even stay here.

You could have made a lot of money. But now you can't stay.

You have to leave.

Juan.

In a few years you could have bought yourself a house. Some land.

Juan.

I thought... I believed...

What did you believe, Andrea?

I got rid of that child to give you time to make our plans come true.

I... I would have gone through anything...

I would have forgiven anything...

Anything!

I would have left everything behind for you, Juan.

Everything.

You have to leave.

I'll give you some money.

I swear you'll regret this.

You'll regret this.

It won't even smart.

My mother used to say that bicarbonate is the best there is for burns.

Hold this with your hand.

Leave us alone, Roc�o.

Don't let the dressing move.

Does it hurt you much?

When is she leaving?

She won't be able to leave for a few days. She's not fit for travels yet.

If she crosses my way I'll kill her!

You will do nothing. And it's not that I care much for Andrea,

but the Orchard can't allow a scandal that may bring the Civiles here.

Jos� has to leave for Andujar, I'm going to make him bring a gift for you.

What do you want?

What would you like to have?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Completely sure, Curro doesn't lie.

When I asked for the money he owed you he said: 'My brother has to give me that money, the one who works in Cali's saltworks.

And the payroll-man won't leave Andujar until Thursday.

Tell Juan I'll settle with him in a week. '

Is it much money?

More than two hundred men work in those saltworks.

When are you going to Andujar?

Tomorrow.

When everything's set, close the front door.

Juan...

What?

It will be the last one.

If that payroll-man is carrying with him all the money you say, it will be the last one, mon ami.

He's a motherfucking faggot.

The girls have nothing to do with him. Ha, and on top of that he doesn't drink!

Go to town and look for Julio, the flowerpot man's son.

Hey, can't Roc�o make that errand?

The less you get the girls involved in this the better.

And what should I tell him?

What else? Tell him does he wants to make 20 'reales' and a nice dinner. Go now.

We have little time.

Night's approaching.

I don't like playing the part of a fag's pimp.

Go, go now, let's go!

Who's that young boy?

He's the flowerpot man's son. His name is Julio.

Would he accept a drink from me?

Uff! If you pay he accepts anything.

Call him, go on.

Grant me that favor. And then ask for a bottle of Modiles and two glasses.

It'll be a glass too many, 'cause I'm going to bed.

It won't be a glass too many, the boy is going to drink, and me too.

You?

Oh, why not? One night is only one night.

(Go, tell him to come.)

(OK, I'll go right away.)

Here's the lad.

Sit down.

Well, you stay there, I leave.

Let's drink a few cups of wine together.

Did you know you're so handsome?

If you say so.

Here's to you, pretty one.

If you come to Andujar with me, you won't have to make your hands dirty with clay anymore.

You won't have to make any more flowerpots.

I'll treat you... like a king.

Like you were my own child.

Tell me you'll come with me.

Julio... my Julio...

How it went?

He's a tightwad, 20 reales, nothing more.

And on top of that he wants me to go with him and live in his Andujar country estate.

Here.

And thank you.

He's a client I wanted to be in good terms with.

Well, he won't complain, he'll sleep as a log. He's dead drunk.

Not a word to anyone, he's a respectable se�or.

Of course not, not a single word. If my father knows about this, he'd skin me alive. Well, goodbye

Goodbye, man.

Se�or! Se�or, please wake up!

Please, listen to me, you have to leave this place!

Wake up! You have to leave this place!

Oh boy, this girl... You're in the wrong room, girl.

Don't you realize they're going to kill you! Leave this place! Please leave.

No, girl, no. I'm not that kind of guy.

Don't your realize? Don't you understand they're going to kill you? Leave! You have to leave!

Oh, fuck! Let me sleep!

You're not only a whore, you're also stupid.

They're going to kill you! They're going to kill you! You have to leave! Leave!

Leave!

Leave!

I'm not for you, dear!

Get a blanket.

What if he's not asleep yet?

Don't worry he's drunk.

Let's go.

Let me sleep!

Look for the money, in the chest of drawers.

There's nothing in here!

Look there, in the wardrobe's drawers.

Here it is! You were right, Juan.

My God! Let's not waste any time... We must hurry.

Leave it! We'll burn his clothes later.

Let's take the body downtairs. Give me a hand.

I've won again!

Yes, I can see God is with you.

Most appropiate. Do you go on patrol tomorrow?

No.

Then we'll have some more games!

With what you've taken from me, you must already have enough to buy a good portion of land.

No, my son, no. It all goes for the children at the hermitage.

Come in!

At your service, my Sargeant.

There's a woman outside who wants to see you.

A woman? Who?

I think it's the new girl in the 'Frenchman's Orchard.'

God grief! You too, Galindo?

Tell her to go away! It's not the time!

These hours of the night are precisely the right ones for this kind of bussiness.

Tell her to go to sleep!

Sargeant... that woman looks... like she'd seen Death in person.

OK. Let's see her.

Good evening.

Is something wrong?

You're insane, Juan.

Who did it?

The new girl. She was at the station. She told us to dig around the orchard. I thought she meant a fetus.

You hinted at it the last time.

Why, Juan? Why?

Why?

Why?

You're insane, Juan.

Yeah... I wish.

Insane.

Please, gentlemen. Have a little respect.

It's time.

When you're ready, gentlemen.

Calm down. Calm down. It's a pity we meet under this cirumstances.

And pull hard, pull without fear.

Don't worry, man.

This one it will go nice and easy.

No way. Let them see me. Let them remember the face of man when he's being strangled.

Let them rember it for life.
