"But my friend, you can't really live without pity." "Come and see." "Look there." "No Carlos." "I always agree on principle, but let me point out again some details." "You will thank me one day." "Your brother recommends a man to us." "We accept him." "Too kind!" "If we lose the game we can easily prove that he's a foreigner since his entry in the country was recorded at the frontier." "If anything goes wrong, we execute him." "This way, we stay clean." "And we avoid the worst repression for our men." "All this is perfect." "And I do not disagree with anything in the plan." "Except..." " Except what?" "Even if it's a total success we must execute this man." "If we win, our lives will no longer be in danger." "Why sacrifice his life then?" "Because we don't know him enough." "And neither do you!" "None of us know him enough." "But we can't forget he helped the prisoners escape out of Dacurdia fort." "In this escape of political prisoners no one knows for sure which side he was on." "Not even his protector, your own brother!" "That kind of man always belongs to the side he chose." "And then he stays silent forever." "Afternoon." "Good afternoon." "You're taking a walk?" "Yes." "What did they deliver to you?" "Corn." "You take a glass?" "Come on." "Follow me." "His name is Pancho." "We're waiting here." "Beautiful house... but the woman who lives inside... is the devil." "Right, foreigner?" "What can be more dangerous for a man than a woman?" "Don't you understand Spanish?" "Don't you speak Spanish?" "You could have said so first!" "Wait a little more..." "Your vulture has arrived!" "What kind of manner is that?" "Excuse yourself." "Make your excuses to Mister Miguel." "Please excuse and understand him." "Before you thought about hiring a stranger it was him we had selected." "If you don't like my idea anymore it is not too late to change." "Calvez..." "I do not doubt that the foreigner is sure enough for the mission." "But he surely is not enough to continue to live after." "I'll think about it." "Luis..." "I see that you are still always pressed." "Why?" "You already wear the uniform of the new army." "I believe it will force the chance." "I'm leaving." "I don't want to meet him." "Good luck!" "I hope... that the people will like you." "They will." "He will be your shadow." "And one always needs his shadow." "How unpleasant are these men of war!" "Good night, friend." "Please come in." "Calvez..." "There is a man behind this door." "Bring him in the middle of the room." "Lanza..." "You had a good trip?" "Yes..." "I guess it's a friend." "So now we can talk about the case." "Who is he?" "The President of the Republic." "It's not in our agreement." "I must shoot a man who won't be careful." " He won't." "It's rather unusual for a president who travels ..." "It depends on the purpose of the trip." "You see this woman?" "She holds him in the palm of her hand." "This is Camito." "An old stage actress." "She waits for him in this house." "On the way to pleasure a man isn't cautious anymore." "You'll shoot him easily when he gets out of the car." "You really think he'll come to this hole?" "He decided to tour in the area." "And the tour will end in this village." "She convinced him that by traveling he will attract his people's love." "He will arrive in two days at worst." "Who pays me?" "Me." "So what are you waiting for?" "One moment." "Let me introduce you to the man who will share the same risks as you." "What do you want me to do with "that"?" ""That" is the grand-son of our first President." "He will pass for the murderer of the tyrant." "He will become a national hero." "You understand?" "Ah, yes ..." "I understand." "The people's hero... who doesn't like the smell of people." "As usual." "He bears a name too important to be exposed." "Well, take him to a nurse then... and pull him out on the day of the funeral." " We do not want to cheat that much." "We want him in the heart of the action." "We want him to believe what he will be." "This is why I need a stranger... who can keep quiet." "A man from our country would have stayed here, among us." "And you should have killed him." "I hate to be forced to kill the one I use." "It's a chance for me." "That's all?" "Yes, that's all." "Get to the end of your story, Calvez." "If it works, he becomes a hero." "But if it fails?" "I did not want to consider defeat." "You lie better than your brother." "In the USA, it's called a "Package deal", I agree." "Thank you on behalf of our cause." "You and the cause cannot count?" "There's 10,000." " I asked for 20,000." "Yes, 10,000 now and 10,000 after the operation." "It's 20,000 in advance." " In advance..." "But what proof can you give me that..." "Stop!" "That's your 20,000." "This is the cause of the people." "That of poverty." "That's a lot of money for it." "So be it." "Your guns are there." " I have mine." "They will be used elsewhere then." "Do not go out for any reason." "We will keep you informed." "Good luck." "I'll need it." "Don't get upset with that." "Who will cook for us here?" "The two women working downstairs." "Ah, the two women ..." "You have nothing to fear." "Her brothers and husbands died for the cause." "The cause..." "In politics you always die for nothing." "Get that in your head." "And the ideal?" "You deny the ideal?" "There were martyrs, you know." "We owe them all." "Really?" " Of course..." "Thanks to them the world has changed." "If you say so ..." "Did you read Voltaire's Comparative ideologies?" "Montaigne?" "Lenin's State and Revolution?" "Did you read them?" "No." "But I liked The Three Musketeers very much." "So, in these conditions ..." "So what?" "Nothing ..." "This is not ..." "It kills by bursts." "It has a range of over 200 meters." "Give me this or you'll end up bursting me!" " I know weapons!" "I followed military training." "With a nice uniform as a prize when you get out." "I'm not a child!" "My name is Miguel ..." "What are you doing?" "I'm not interested in your name." " I said ..." "Your name will be Chico." "Chico and that's all." "Repeat!" "Come on!" "Chico ..." "My name is Chico and I know nothing about anything." "Repeat!" "My name is Chico ... and I know nothing about anything." "Congratulations, you're a little hero!" "It seems that I don't please everyone." "Is he dead?" "Yes, a soldier less!" "Who sent him?" "No one, I think." "He was jealous of you." "There's no reason." "It is he who ..." " You should've said it before!" "Now it no longer interests me." "Search him." "Keep them." "I've already been paid." "I'm not here for the money." "Not yet." "Just wait to be in power with your buddies." "When I'm in power all traffickers will be killed ... without pity." "I've heard the song before." "Meanwhile lock up this jealous guy in the closet." "Me?" "Yes." "And with this." "Yes ..." "What do you want?" "More coffee." "And a little drop of ..." "Hey!" "Can you do this?" "I don't smoke." "Chico, the little hero ... who doesn't drink, who doesn't smoke .." "A real little hero in sum." "I thought maybe you were hungry." "Triumphal speech of Hitler in Nuremberg." "What a monster." "We should not let him live." "Don't you think?" " Tell her this lacks fried onions." "What?" "Tell her this lacks fried onions." "My friend wants more fried onions." "Of course." "Immediately." "He's not hungry." "I'm wrong?" "You're sick?" "No." "I'm going to tidy up the room." "A real little hero ... who eats only medals .." "and drumsticks!" "It's not true, Chico?" "I'm a little plump, right?" "Not at all." "You're very fine." "What's your name?" "Aurora." "So..." "Hello Aurora." "Hello." "People say you're a noble." "No ... it's you who are noble." "Hey!" "The show takes place there!" "Now that's a woman!" "You find her beautiful maybe?" "Much more than that." "I find her unforgettable!" "Unforgettable ..." "Unforgettable but she is a prostitute!" "She is also the wife of the President or almost." " Reason more." "Your grandfather wasn't president?" "And I'll bet you a thousand dollars that he went with a lot of women like her!" "I don't think so." "I don't think it would have embarrassed him." "You're maybe from the same line as a woman of his kind..." "My grandmother and my mother were Indians!" "And she is not Indian?" "Nobody looks over my shoulder." "For a butt kick!" "What is a butt kick in a revolution, huh?" "Her for instance, she didn't follow military training ... but I'm certain she takes a hit better than you." "Even better than me." "Repeat!" "Long life to the president!" "Long life to the president!" "Come on, one more time!" "Long life to the president!" "Long life to the president!" " Bravo, Cresus!" "And after?" "And after?" "Long live the president!" "Long life to the president!" "It's great!" "It's awesome!" "Enrique ..." "Enrique ..." "Enrique ..." " Madam ... the parcel you were waiting for has just arrived." "I went personally to the railway station to get it." "Enrique ..." "I think this stupid priest will die of happiness!" "Chico ..." "There's a guy with her, who is he?" "Chico, I'm talking to you!" "She has a butler." "A faithful dog if you prefer." "Hello." "Hello." " You're beautiful ..." "It's for me?" " Who knows?" "Maybe..." "I thought you had no residents these days?" "You're right." "We have no one." "And all this meat ..." "It's for you ... and the old woman?" " Yes and we'll invite you to eat if you want." "There's a police officer under the window." "Well, no big deal." "Hey!" "Look in front of us instead!" "You see what's coming toward us?" "A leopard, say!" "I think it suits her really well .." "Let's go." "They will love me in the end." "My father was one of them." "What are scribbling now?" "This is my diary." "And what do you write in your journal?" "What I'm doing here?" "Put it away!" "It is naive, but this thing doesn't look bad ..." "Yes ..." "This is the eye of God." "An Indian legend." "In short, if I understand ..." "you're walking with your relics." "My mother made it with her hands." "She gave it to me before she died." "Since then, it has never left me." "Break it." "Are you crazy?" "No news?" "No, nothing." "We're waiting." "What does that mean?" "What did she do to you?" "Take a pen and write." "Come on." "Write the name of the guy who will lead the uprising in the capital." "Is this a joke?" "No, my little hero." "It's the moment I was waiting for." "Write or she blows." "And then you have one or two ministers in your pocket ..." "This is abominable!" "I can't." " Look at her face, little hero." "A real martyr." "And I'm a specialist, you know." "You have too much to lose, Chico." "And you can't have a revolution with too many things to lose." "What happened?" "This foreigner has no heart." "This telegram says the President will arrive tomorrow afternoon." "We haven't received any official message." "The official, it's me." "Ruiz is over there." "He's waiting for you." "I'm back from Portrerillos." "The President will sleep there for the night but he will be here tomorrow." "Camito proclaimed it throughout the city." "We have modified the escape plan." "You don't need me anymore?" " We do... because after the attack I'm afraid the foreigner will become suspicious." "So you will grab Miguel with him." "At the border?" "No, right here." "I sent Calvez to explain to them." "And you will go too." "We need the foreigner to become familiar with you." "You see these drums?" "You'll say that you need gasoline to continue till the road's end." "You'll park the car there." "And run away passing through here." "There'll be another car." "You go straight to Lurcan." "I'll be waiting for you there." "What will happen to them?" "Deserters will take care of them." "They're ready for anything." "They dream about the new army when I will be General." "But the young Miguel ..." "The young Miguel has nothing to fear." "He will continue according to the plan ... and the foreigner will be held prisoner here." "His fate will depend on ours." "The revolution will forget no one." "Maybe it will forget all of us." "But we must try, Pancho ..." "We must try." "But you will leave soon ..." "I'll come back for you." "For your eyes that brought me luck." "Chico!" "Shit!" "What's up?" "What are you gonna do with him?" "Who?" "Him, there." "Him ..." "But I don't know ..." "How come you do not know?" "You're not gonna wait until he gives us cholera!" "Cholera?" "I don't know ..." "I don't know ..." "I don't know ..." "A hero must know everything, my little Chico!" "Good evening, gentlemen!" "How sad it is here ..." "What is he saying?" "He says that the house is sad." "It's his face that is sad." "After the death of this bastard of president..." "I must get you both." "After the attack I will leave with you." "Where to?" "Where to?" "Calvez will tell us." "Calvez will tell us." "So let's wait for him." "You play?" "I only play chess." "Foreigner!" "Bravo, foreigner." "Bravo." "Another?" "He's a good player." "Tell him ... He wants a last one." "For the honor." "You start with the white again." "Thank you, foreigner." "He says that you've lost." "It's impossible." "He's going to become a king." "It doesn't matter." "King." "Foreigner." "You must capture." "See you tomorrow gentlemen." "It's hard to lose, eh?" " No." "But not like that." "Not with a guy pretending to be what he's not." "You all have a double face but he beats you all." "He even loses himself with all his grins." " Do not insult my friends." "Your friends ..." "You figure that you have friends?" "I tell you they're scum ..." "Poor guy ..." "You know what you are?" "And you're a puppet, a marionette!" "You're a fashion plate!" "That's what you are." "My God, give me the strength ..." "You're alone?" "No, he's there." "No, he's not." "A stain of blood?" "I killed a rat." "I know it's difficult to live with your comrade." "But we mustn't judge him too fast ..." "It's a man that could become your friend in the long run." "Yes, it's possible." "Lanza has committed an unforgivable mistake." "His death doesn't mean much." "It will stay between us." "The mission that you must accomplish is all that matters." "Hello, friend." "You should not have gone out." "I do not take orders, Calvez." "This is just a precaution." "It's also precautions that force us to change Miguel's road." "He will go with you for fifty kilometers until Tegucigalpa." "There, people will take him in a car ... to the headquarters where he will learn the result of the insurrection." "Through the force of caution you'll end up in a convent." "Today they will see me standing up in front of their inclined President." "Enrique!" "Enrique!" "You hear me?" "Yes, madam." "Wake up." "It's the most beautiful day of my life." "You shave because it's Sunday?" "No." "You do not want me to believe it's for the President?" "I do." "He's still a man, right?" "Not for me." "We'll talk about it when you're President." "How will you do?" "You'll wait until he takes a few steps?" "No." "No?" " No." "So when?" "When he comes out." "What did you say?" "Are you kidding?" "Not at all!" "But when a man in his position takes as many risks to come and see such a woman ..." "Well, you can wait till he leaves." "Especially since she seems worth it." "Believe me." "Really?" "Congratulations!" "When she's a widow .." "you can try your luck." "If this is all your ambition." "Listen, my little Chico ..." "You who loves novels ..." "You see that?" "With that, I can have them all!" "Any woman." "And I'm not a President!" "Yes ..." "Yes." "This is probably why you want to earn so much money." "You thought it was for my old age?" "You always did this kind of work?" "Really?" "Did you see?" " You don't answer." "You flee." "I flee?" "From what?" "From something." "Or someone." " Hold on." "What are you trying to do?" "Find me some good reasons?" "I don't have good reasons I have mine and they're enough for me." "A dead man!" "We found a dead man!" "A dead man!" "A dead man!" "Let's go." "We found him behind the railway track." "Maybe he fell from the train." "There's no train on Sunday." "Who was this man?" "We never saw him here." "It's not a good sign with the President coming." "Let's search the houses." "Given his condition there's a risk of epidemic." "He should been buried immediately." "Thank you." "Let's return to the church." "All the same he's been killed by someone ..." "No, not in the house." "Where?" "Tonight outside the village." "We must warn the others!" " There's no time." "But we do not have the right to leave ..." "It's the home of Camito!" "We're not going to ..." " Yes." "I should have thought about it sooner." "Wait me here." "But ..." "Carlos!" "It's dead." "Don't move!" "Close the door." "Are you French?" "If you want." "You dared kill Carlos!" "You should have had a poodle like everyone." "Come on, let's go." "And don't forget this!" "When they steal, foreigners must not forget anything." "You hear?" "Mrs takes us for thieves." "You're not thieves?" "Tell her what we are." "We are ..." "Come on!" "We're going to kill the President." "But why?" "She asked why, didn't she?" "You're mistaken." "The President is a brave man." "He's done beautiful things for the country and he'll do many more." "Yes...many prisons!" "Have you visited these beautiful prisons?" "And the children executed." "Did you hear them dying?" "Those children..." "have you seen them executed?" "You can get upset." "But never with the ladies." "He's young." "He still believes." "But you ..." "Why do you do that?" "Then the wounded horse went galloping up to the sky." "There he laid down on a bed of flowers ... and God served him corn and honey ... and to entertain him, he created the shooting stars." "Joaquin." "Come here." "It's serious." "The foreigner is gone." "No, he's hiding with Miguel in Camito's house." "He'll go until the end." "If you want to move .." "carry the bags near the small wall." "Good trip, Mister President!" "Viva el Presidente!" "What joy!" "Hey, President!" "Your turn, now!" "What happened to the Presidente?" "What happened to the Presidente?" "Smash the door!" "Quick!" "Poor little man ..." "Smash the door!" "Presidente!" "Why didn't you tell us you'd be taking us?" "It's only my job." "He followed us because he was given the orders to watch over us." "Joaquin!" "Joaquin!" "The tyrant is dead!" "He killed him with a single shot." "Congratulations, foreigner." "Hey, that's weird." "It is blocked." "The next time watch where you put it." "Thanks." "Yes." "I couldn't see them but I could hear them." "There was one or several foreigners?" "If there was a foreigner I didn't notice it." "Colonel." "You have news?" "The train brings reinforcements." "And outside?" "Your soldiers were forced to stop." "The first insurrectionists are there." "If they're too many move back." "We will bring back the President's body to the capital tomorrow." "And you, Mrs, we will take you to a safe place." "Whatever happens I want to stay with the President." "At your orders, Mrs." "Freedom ..." "Ask him to go faster." "Faster, Joaquin." "We have gasoline there." "We'll avoid it so were not noticed." "Careful with Pancho." "Be careful with Miguel and Pancho." "In a month, I ..." "Drop your weapons!" "Get out of the car with your hands up!" "Chico, come here." "Hold this for me." "Listen to me." "Shoot a burst every 10 sec." "Once there, and once there." "When I tell you." "Get out of here or we'll burn the car!" "Get out of here or we'll burn the car!" "You're lost!" "Get out of the car!" "But when will it end?" "When they have no ammunition left." "It's useless." "Drop your weapons!" "You've lost!" "For the last time, get out!" "Let's try something else." "Give me the torch." "The torch?" "Here it is." "Give it to me." "Tell them for the last time ... if they don't get out we'll burn the car." "Get out of here or you'll end up in flames!" "Hey, easy, it's me!" "What happened?" "Where is Joaquin?" "I told you once small hero, you do not have friends." "Power is hard to share." "Luis ..." "Calvez ..." "If I'm not back tomorrow morning walk to the bridge and jump on the first train." "Where are you going?" " Search your hunchback of ill omen and his clique." "It will be my personal revolution." "Besides, as you have seen, I have no choice." "It's them or me." "Wait ..." "Don't move." "I'm with you." "Where do you come from?" "Who are you?" "Miguel." "Miguel Juarez de San Miguel." "Run away!" "It's finished over there." "Where?" "Where?" "Everywhere." "Soldiers ..." "Too many soldiers." "Who took power?" "Who took power?" "Who?" "Alguirez." "General Alguirez ..." "The worst of them all." "And Miguel?" "They probably separated." "There was only one bag." "And Miguel must sleep in a corner." "We'll find him." " You want the other alive?" "I didn't wait for you to try that." "But now I'll just bring his head to General Alguirez." "Maybe he will forget ours." "God hears you!" "Maybe it's him then who sends you this!" "You know how to use it?" "I hunt from time to time." "They have no more cars." "They can't be far." "You two, drive two kilometers and patrol on the road to Lurcan." "If you find them, turn back and come back here." "We'll go together." "He can get aboard the train only from this bridge." "Let's watch the two ends." "Joaquin, you here." "You, over there." "Calvez ..." "Joaquin, you think we'll get him?" "Be patient." "We must wait." "You're always in a hurry." "Well, we'll outflank him." "I got your back." "Go around." "No." "After you, Mister." "It's alright." "But don't stop shooting." "It will not do much." "So long, General." "Listen to me!" "Listen, foreigner!" "It's me, Joaquin Bosco, your friend." "Listen to me!" "Listen, foreigner!" "It's me, Joaquin Bosco." "Your friend." "Look at me." "You have nothing to fear." "Look, foreigner, look." "My rifle." "I have no more weapons." "I'm your friend, Joaquin Bosco." "You can shoot, foreigner." "You can shoot on an unarmed man." "What are you waiting for?" "Come on!" "Shoot, foreigner!" "You ..." "You are perched like a vulture!" "The revolution is dead." "The poor will stay poor." "So little hero ..." "You brought my bag, that's good." "And it didn't come alone." "Yeah ..." "They left a car in the village." "Can you drive?" "Yes." " You'll see, it's a gray car." "Now you can leave quiet and easy." "There's nothing to fear for you." "Your good friends are no longer around to talk about you." "Good road!" ""Have a good trip, I'll be quiet!" And Camito?" "You forget Camito?" "Did you think of her?" "She can tell everything." " No, she will sleep with the new boss, that's all." "How do you know?" "I know." "You kept me from killing her." "Why?" "Why?" "Tell me!" " Because we do not shoot women!" "So you teach me morality now?" "I could help you." "I know every border." "You do not even speak our language." "You saw?" "I proved myself, right?" "Listen to me, small hero ..." "One day or the other I will finish at the end of a rope." "You don't want to end at the end of a rope, do you?" "I want to go with you because you're the only one who helped our people." "You almost freed my people." " Hey, hold your horses!" "What do you think?" "As for me your people can drown themselves." "Since the beginning you've said dirty things but you're cheating only yourself." "You want everybody to take you for someone else." "If I understand you, I'm in disguise, right?" "As a pastor, perhaps." "With a good little heart." "You can't be serious." " Now, I know you well." "I know you well." " Oh, you know me well, right?" "I'm like that, huh?" "Take another step ... and I shoot you." " It is curious ..." "It's not serious." "A bullet went through his thigh ... but he's exhausted." "We'll take care of him." "I knew that." "And time will pass." "It's best for him." "You see, now I don't need a translater anymore." "So long ..." "We're going to the mountain." "To my uncle's farm." "You can come." "We will hide you." "Thanks a lot but I have a train to take." "Good luck to both of you." "Foreigner ..." "Where are you going?" "timings and proofreading : meatisgood translation : aloysius70"
