That's why we're here, so don't you worry about that.
Then what can I say? Except...
I hope you make it.
Me, too. And him.
We'II meet again tonight to discuss detaiIs.
I have to go. I Ieft a woman in Iabour and she can't wait tiII the revoIution's over.
- Tierra y libertad, - Tierra y libertad!
Go upstairs and Ieave one at a time, and keep out of sight.
Speaking of sight, how's your cataract?
- Well... - Shh.
You don't have to say anything.
I understand everything.
Tierra y libertad,
Ylibertad,
Avisen al capitán, Pronto,
Go.
Psst, psst...
Bravo, Chulo.
Boy, there must be a Iot of money in the bank. Look at aII the soIdiers.
- Do you know how this works? - Si, It's a...
short fuse.
No.
No?
NormaI rate. 30 seconds.
Si,
30 seconds.
- What do you find? - Nothing but scrap paper.
Wait a minute... It's pointing down there.
Psst...
There's the safe.
Duck, you suckers.
- Where you going, for Christ's sake? - I don't know. But something's wrong.
I went into the bank and there's nothing there. No money, nothing.
The money was transferred to Mexico City over a month ago.
They've been using this place for a political prison ever since.
- What do you mean, a political prison? - I never said a thing about money.
AII I asked you was if you wanted to get inside.
But you know this bank is my Iife. This is my dream.
The reality of that is you just liberated 150 patriots
through sheer courage in the face of danger.
Ah, yes.
You're a grand hero of the revolution now.
- Viva Miranda! - I don't want to be a hero.
- AII I want is the money. - Viva Miranda!
- You taught me one thing. - What?
How to get fucked.
What's that?
It's a map.
It's your country you're Iying aII over there.
It's not my country. My country is me and my famiIy.
Your country's also Huerta and the governor and the landlords,
and Gunther Ruiz and his Iocusts... And this IittIe revoIution we're having here.
Revolution? Don't try to tell me about revolution. I know all about revolutions.
The people that read books go to the people that don't read books.
- They say "It's time to have a change." - Shh.
Shh, shh, shh, shit, shush.
I know what I'm taIking about when I'm taIking about the revoIutions.
The people who read books go to the people who can't read books
and say "We have to have a change." So the poor people make the change.
Then the people that read the books sit around big tables
and talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat.
But what has happened to the poor people?
They're dead.
That's your revolution.
Shh...
So, please, don't tell me about revolutions.
And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again.
Capitán...
No se me rajen,
Vamos, que es el último jalón,
I don't Iike it either. OnIy, Gunther Ruiz is 20 miIes from here.
He's on the road that Ieads to that bridge down there.
They will comb the area bush by bush.
That's why the order is to pull back and hide in the San Ysidro caves.
That's a brilliant order.
Here we are facing it. You and the rest of you in a cellar someplace dreaming,
want to piss it up against the wall.
Not everybody can fight. There are those who must organise, coordinate.
Yes, yes, of course.
Yeah, well...
Don't pay any attention to me.
It's personaI.
Sorry about those orders. I'm staying.
I don't give a fuck about your revoIutions.
I'm tired of running up and down mountains, getting nowhere.
So I've stopped, right here at the bridge of San Jorge.
Maybe it's out of spite for you and your slow dream.
Or maybe...
maybe my feet are sore.
Hm.
If he's going to stay, I'm going to stay too.
I don't know, maybe because my feet are sore too.
Hombres, me and the irlandés here,
we're gonna catch ourselves a couple of the fucking locusts.
Atención! You go back and hide in the grotto.
And if things go bad here, then every man for himself. You move your asses.
- Comprende?
Vamos ahora,
If something happens and your father doesn't come back,
then I pray that the great God in heaven takes care of you.
Well...
- Good Iuck. - Thank you.
Listen, when they are out of sight, we will make a run for it, si?
No?
You can't mean to stay here. AII those expIosions must have gone to your head.
Remember, John and Juan?
America?
The millions?
No?
No.
I don't understand you. I thought you make a trick so we can get out of here.
- What can we do against those Iocusts? - You'd be doing me a favour if you Ieft.
If it's a choice I have to make between a chicken thief
and ridding the world of a few uniforms,
I'II not be choosing the chicken thief.
OK.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
You would like that, uh?
Well, you listen to me,
you Irish piece of shit.
You think you're the only man in the world who has the balls to stay? You are wrong.
Cos I have the baIIs and I stay.
He says there's no danger. "Just watch the bridge from a long way."
No matter how I Iook with them, I'm stiII too cIose to the bridge.
Why am I mixed up in this fucking revoIution? God, what am I doing here?
Why didn't you strike me dead instead of letting me say "I stay too"?
Look at him. Look at him. AII because of him.
He acts Iike a tourist that's going somewhere, onIy he's staying.
Look at him. What the hell does he care?
He is having fun.
I'm gIad he's having fun, God, because I am not having fun.
No.
Hey...
What's this?
Now he goes to sleep?
Go ahead. You sleep.
Sleep.
I teII you something, when he's asIeep, I go. Shh.
May the good Lord watch over you.
Stop over there, Sergeant.
Hey...
Psst.
God, only an idiot could sleep at a time like this.
Hey...
Abandon the trucks. Break ranks, take cover under the bridge.
Artillery, fire at will.
AII of them.
Six.
I never counted them before.
No, Juan, no.
No, for Christ's sake. They're waiting for you out there.
Quieto, No te muevas, que te quiebro,
Capitán, Ya lo agarramos,
Échelo al camión a este cabrón y no lo toque,
Que llegue vivo,
Pelotón, de frente, Marchen,
Un, dos, un, dos...
Pelotón, alto,
Flanco izquierdo, izquierda,
Posición de tiro,
Tiene algo que pedir?,
Pelotón...,
preparen armas,
Apunten,
Pelotón, flanco derecho,
De frente, ar,
Tienes algo que pedir?,
Pelotón, fi rmes,
Posición de tiro,
Preparen armas,
Apunten,
Short fuse.
El hecho de que Huerta abandonó la capital no te permite desertar,
A traidores como tú, yo los fusilo por la espalda,
Pelotón, preparen...
armas,
Apunten,
Fuego,
Pelotón, en su lugar, descanso,
But for the rich you sing.
Oh, Jesus, Juan.
Anyway, if they ever get this fucking thing under way,
we might be able to make the border by sometime tonight, don't you think?
America.
It's America, Juan.
Jesus, if it's as great as they say it is, filled with bags stuffed full of dreams...
Juan...
Oh, Jesus...
Jesus, Juan...
What is it, Juan and... John?
Johnny and Johnny?
I make the hoIes and you get in. Fifty-fifty, right?
What's happening?
They're just moving the train around.
We'II be Ieaving shortIy. The uniforms just finished Ioading on the Iast of their shit.
Get out of the way.
What do you want from me, you scum?
Let me by.
It's yours.
There's a fortune inside.
Money.
Jewels.
Pearls.
Hórale, rápido, Amontónenlos al centro,
Yachichárrenlos a tiros,
Well, this may not be going to America.
Maybe the train won't, but we will.
Hey...
Which way is America?
It's sure as heII not that way.
That's the way.
Well, then...
let's go.
Even Pancho Villa's heard much about you.
He's always saying "I want to meet this Miranda."
Me?
That's right.
The military junta commander told us everything that you've done.
Whatever it was you heard, I can assure you they were onIy words.
But words can't describe what Juan has done and suffered for the cause.
Doctor.
How you been?
Now this is the man who should talk to Villa.
Hey...
John.
Doctor.
We thought we'd Iost you, Doctor.
You got a Iight?
Listen, Gunther Ruiz is after us and now Villa wants to talk to me.
I think we shouId get out of here.
Jesus, Juan, you can't Ieave now. You're a gIorious hero of the revoIution.
- Can I teII you something? - What?
Fuck you.
That's all.
A train carrying over 1,000 soldiers and heavy weapons is heading towards us.
- What about Villa's troops? - He met resistance in the sierra.
And asks us to hold out for 24 hours.
- Where the hell are we? - Approximately here.
It's a beautifuI desert there.
Not a stream, canyon or anything in 100 miles.
How Iong do you think it'd take them to get here?
Three hours, more or Iess.
Three hours.
Well...
Looks as though we'II have to stop them right here, doesn't it?
AII that takes is unboIting a coupIe of yards of track. But then what?
- They'd still slaughter us. - Wait.
There's more than one way to stop a train.
- How much dynamite have we? - Maybe 200 pounds.
Is that enough for you?
Yes. It'II have to do, I reckon.
We'II aIso need a Iocomotive and a man.
Si, si, si, si, OK.
OK.
Someone who's brave and IoyaI to the cause.
Never mind about that. Just tell me what I have to do.
Someone Iike Doctor ViIIega, I think.
Er...
Well, er...
I'm honoured.
I don't doubt it, Doctor.
Also because an old friend of ours is in command of that train.
A Colonel Gunther Ruiz.
Let's get shovelling, man. We'll never get up enough pressure that way.
Come on, put your back in it, Villega.
Let's stop pretending, Mallory. You know everything, don't you?
You sensed it. Or guessed it.
Simpler than that, Villega.
I saw you. That night in the rain.
I see.
You've already judged and condemned me.
That's why you've brought me with you. To kill me.
It's easy to judge.
Have you ever been tortured? Are you sure you wouldn't talk?
I was sure. And yet I taIked.
Some men died because of me. What should I do, kill myself?
Why? The dead remain dead.
But me, I have not changed. I stiII beIieve in the same things.
- I can continue to serve the cause. - Shut up, ViIIega.
Shut up, for Christ's sake.
When I started using dynamite, I beIieved many things.
AII of it.
Finally, I believe only in dynamite.
I don't judge you, ViIIega.
I did that onIy once in my Iife.
Get shovelling.
The end of the Iine, ViIIega.
And I can't heIp you now.
Just close your eyes and jump.
For Christ's sake, save yourself.
Dios měo!
Shit...
God...
Hey...
Man, remember?
You remember what you told me?
You told me about America.
And the banks and the gold.
Like you told me on the train, remember?
Hey. Hey.
Hey...
No, you son of a bitch. Come on, you son of a bitch.
Now you know you told me that.
And you Ieave me now, what the fuck is going to happen to me?
- They'II make you a generaI. - Shit, I don't want to be a generaI.
Come on. Talk to me.
Talk. Keep talking. Talk.
Talk. Tell me about Villega. Remember Villega?
- Villega? - Si,
He died.
He died a great, grand...
grand, glorious hero of the revolution.
OK.
Easy, easy...
I'II go. I'II get heIp.
Yeah.
GeneraI...
- Have you a Iight? - Si,
Oh, my friend...
I'd hate to have to give you a royaI screwing.
I'II go get heIp.
