What now?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
I'll make sure the coast is clear.
Thanks.
Did Jesus come with you?
No, he didn't, but I know
you want to speak with him.
Wrong, I do not want to speak with him,
but I do have a few things to tell him to his face.
Come on, sis.
It's time you were honest with yourself.
What do you mean?
You have to face things.
With your husband, with how you feel.
Sis, you've never been a coward.
I was dying to see you, my prince.
Let's not talk about death, darling.
Will I ever stop wanting you day and night?
I hope not... Mrs. Quiñones.
What are you?
A witch? A magician?
How do you always manage to sneak in unseen?
Or maybe you're one of these highway robbers they talk about.
That Saint Malverde.
If you were, you wouldn't tell me, would you?
No.
No?
I'm just a simple man, one who'd give his life
to see what's under that petticoat.
You're jeopardizing the lives of everyone here
and you want to talk about my life?
I'm sorry, sis.
I'm only doing it because I care and I want you to be happy.
Ha! Who says I'm unhappy?
This is about what you're feeling...
You're going to talk to me about love?
Or Jesus?
He goes from woman to woman and never makes a commitment.
You're both notorious for that.
What I care about is this house, my family
and my son.
Therefore, I won't let anyone come here
and tell me what I have to do.
I make my own decisions.
Don't stop!
Oh my God.
Quiet.
I don't care!
Make me yours, my prince. Do it.
I want you to make me yours.
Take me to heaven, my prince. Yes, do it!
Stop looking at my daughter
and get back to work.
Everything okay, Isabel?
Calm down, Dad.
Hey, should I get you some water?
I'm fine, honey. It's okay.
I'm not going to die just yet.
Don't say stupid things like that.
Hey, what's happening?
Don't talk to your father like that.
Dad, is Grandpa going to die?
Hey, you stop that right now.
The Grim Reaper's far away from this house.
Instead, go to school and study.
Not everybody gets that chance.
Say hello to Professor Matias for me.
I will.
He's teaching us about electricity today.
Electricity?
Progress!
Make sure you pay attention.
Too many changes for my liking.
Say goodbye, son.
Bye, honey.
Wait over there until we leave.
Don't be scared, you filthy Indians!
Watch where you're going, fool!
Good afternoon, Mr. Herminio.
Load the sacks onto the cart.
Go with them, Eleuterio.
Okay.
What's the problem? Don't you trust my people?
To be perfectly honest, no, I don't.
Excuse me.
This looks and smells just like
what your mother used to make.
I'm glad you like it. You need to eat.
You look very tired to me.
I'm more upset and worried than tired.
There's no reason to get all down in the dumps.
Remember how Mom would scold you for that?
Yes, that and for not forgiving
your brother Nazario for what he became:
another bandit.
Another highway robber along with
that shameless Jesus Juarez,
who I cared so much about.
What are you talking about?
Look how much you care about them.
Your face lights up when you talk about them.
The three of you were inseparable growing up.
I even thought that one day
the one they now call Malverde
would be living here as my real son,
sitting here at this table as your husband.
Instead of talking like that, eat your food
before it gets cold.
Is Secundino coming?
That's what his letter said. That he's arriving today.
He's getting a few days off
after his first year in seminary.
Just my luck.
My oldest son is an outlaw while my youngest
wants to be a priest.
That's what the people are wondering,
why the train isn't passing through San Blas de Baca.
Its natural trajectory...
I'm not an engineer, kid.
The train goes through wherever
the company that lays the tracks says it does.
Yes, sure, state and federal money
did go into that project,
but a lot of it comes from private companies.
The great majority, in fact.
Do we know what percentage
was privately funded, Mr. Governor?
Secundino Aguilar, are you sure you chose
the right profession?
Maybe you should've been a journalist
instead of a priest.
Stop, please.
Damned rich people.
I've never seen such a fancy carriage in my life.
Hey, we doing this or what?
Nazario, I'm talking to you.
We doing this or what?
Nobody makes a move.
Everyone, stand down.
It's the governor,
but he's with someone very important to me.
My brother.
Guess that's a no.
Electricity brings big changes with it, you'll see.
Imagine being able to walk lit streets at night or work.
Or food not spoiling thanks to the invention
of a device that keeps it fresh.
It's a sort of box.
Hello.
Don't touch that.
They're diverting the cables from town
toward Quiñones' ranch.
Why?
Will Quiñones be the only one to benefit?
Professor Galaviz.
-Good morning. -Good morning.
This is how it has always been.
Whoever pays first gets it first.
And Mr. Herminio Quiñones is paying for the electricity.
That's what you ought to be teaching your students.
Progress doesn't come cheap.
I'm leaving, son.
Make sure you only learn from Prof. Galaviz
what you need to.
Excuse me.
Organize the cups and jars, please.
Otherwise it looks terrible. It looks messy.
What an honor.
Come in, come in. Make yourself at home.
Lord, have mercy!
What things God makes when He's in a good mood!
What's your problem, Quiñones?
Ain't you got any women at your house?
I do...
I wish they were all like you.
If your wife heard you...
Weren't you taught to keep your hands to yourself as a kid?
I was, but it's been a while and I'm out of practice.
Go practice with your Spaniard.
She's quite passionate from what I hear.
She sure is.
That's why I picked her. I'm a man of robust appetites.
Especially with a woman like you.
For God's sake, Quiñones, sit down and stop bothering me.
Bring us something to drink.
You keep kissing me, but I know that look.
You don't want to hear it from anyone else.
You want to see about this electricity business yourself,
don't you, sweetie?
I heard the posts were being placed in town.
Yeah, I won't lie. I do want to see it.
See you soon?
Yes, honey.
Memories getting the best of you?
Yes.
I'm worried about Nazario too.
Being an outlaw in his condition
is like flirting with death, isn't it?
I'll never forgive Jesus for taking him.
Well, Quiñones, are you going to invite me
to that party on your ranch?
Word's spread I take it.
You know small towns might be hell on Earth,
but news travels fast.
No, darling, you're not invited.
No?
Too many distinguished people attending.
Even the governor's on his way.
The governor?
Then, yes, that's a lot of distinguished folks.
I'll put away my silverware, then.
If you were nicer,
I'd have gotten you in through the kitchen.
Damn, gotta go.
The governor ought to be arriving soon.
See you at the party, Gamboa.
Yes, sir.
What's that?
Hey!
Your husband's going around buying lots of land.
Mm-hmm.
I heard he showed you around recently.
That's right. He took me the other day.
Herminio's going around buying
what he calls the "damned Indians' settlement".
Ignorant beasts, they're nothing more than pack mules.
You might not know this,
but it's leagues and leagues of land
on the other side of the river.
What else did he tell you?
That as soon as the train passes through there,
San Blas de Baca will be nothing more than a ghost town
and that he'll double his investment.
I swear I curse the day that my parents
arranged my marriage to him.
Of course, one day, this will all be mine.
You're just like him.
No, wait. Wait.
You don't understand.
I don't care about that land.
I'm saying that if Herminio's ever not around anymore,
we'd have no reason to hide.
Where's the lady of the house?
She hasn't left her room, sir.
She must not be feeling well.
Not feeling well? We'll see about that.
What's wrong?
Wouldn't you love to live on this ranch with me?
You know what?
It turns me on... you being so mysterious.
But sometimes it scares me
because I don't even know your name.
That doesn't matter.
I like "my prince."
My prince.
Don't you hear me, woman?
Azalea!
Make me yours again.
-I want you to do it again. -No.
Shh!
-I won't scream this time. -Listen.
Don't you hear me?
My husband!
Azalea!
You're sick today? Damn it!
Open the door!
Open up!
Look at the time and you're still in bed.
I gave you orders. What the hell were you thinking?
Why are you making that face?
What, did you see a ghost?
Cover yourself!
You might drive me wild, but I've got no time for you.
Herminio.
Can't you get out of bed or did I tire you out that badly?
You're cold and pale, like you just walked in from the cold,
but we've got a lot to do.
It smells like man in here.
It smells like me!
Women...
I thought we had to wait longer for the light to arrive.
If you're referring to electricity,
it's still not here.
Neither is my brother.
Can you believe he won't be staying with us?
Makes sense.
That could lead to your outlaw brother and his friend
visiting us at home.
Come on, Vicente. What are you talking about?
We have a child, Isabel.
Yes, but Nazario is incapable of hurting our son.
I didn't say that.
Maybe not Nazario, but the other guy...
Neither Nazario nor Jesus would ever hurt my family.
Not my father, my son or you.
What about you, though?
You're the one exposing us all
with Jesus Malverde's visit to the house.
I don't think you understand. That's not the problem.
The problem is you complicate everything.
No, dear.
I merely said your little brother's decision makes sense.
Priests belong to the church.
I'm starting to realize you don't understand a thing I say.
I was wrong to come here to clear away my doubts.
I'm going to go. I'm sure you have a lot to do.
We'll see each other at night.
See you tonight.
I didn't get the information that easily this time.
What happened here?
The convoy with the governor and Secundino already passed by.
We'll see what your brother brings from that monastery.
Who would've thought he'd end up a priest?
You know he's always been different.
I would've thought police or a soldier, but a priest?
I think it's time to take action.
Tell me about it later.
I always do.
Halfway, doll.
Come on, top her off.
Boss.
The governor's caravan is on its way.
Prepare the horses.
Yes, boss.
Come on, Gamboa. Better get going.
You don't want your master getting mad at you.
Don't act like you don't answer to anyone.
Get to work.
Doll.
Make sure all the rooms are cleaned.
We've got people coming.
Oh yeah?
Quiñones' dealings have to benefit me somehow, right?
Of course.
End of the line, gentlemen.
Finally, Malverde.
Tell your men to stand down
unless it's a shootout they want.
You heard the man, Tlacuache.
Put your guns down.
Tamal and Conejo, secure the booty,
take their weapons and release the horses.
Pull the cart! Hurry!
We should take this one and give him his just deserts.
What's your name?
You don't know me, but I know who you are.
That's what you think.
I know you work for Quiñones and that a few of these men
want you dead because you're a bully.
You reap what you sow.
I could've found out more, but I didn't ask.
I wanted to hear from your own mouth what your name is.
Eleuterio Rivas, chief.
I think your informants aren't telling you everything.
I bet they'd betray you for a price.
We've got them. I say we tie them up, Jesus.
I've got a couple of surprises for you, Malverde.
Look over there.
And the second...
Tlacuache.
Let's get out of here!
Pedro, be careful.
Sorry, I'm the one who wasn't paying attention.
Are you okay? Good.
You're always in a rush.
I'm going to end up thinking that my best student's mother
is trying to avoid me.
I swear I'm not, it's just...
It's my family.
Sorry, I don't want to talk about it.
I completely understand.
You must be nervous about your younger brother's arrival,
with you so badly wanting to reunite your family.
I have something I'd like to tell you.
I'll do all I can to come and hear you out.
Good luck with what's troubling you, Isabel.
-Excuse me, Professor. -Of course.
Watch out! Turn around!
Don't move.
Nazario!
Don't shoot to kill!
China!
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Come on.
Get up. Let's go.
Fall back.
Go that way. I'll cover you.
You sure about that?
This one's worth more than everything they took.
I'll be back. I'm getting Nazario.
Jinete!
Don't go.
Welcome.
Mr. Governor.
Thank you. Excuse me.
Ma'am.
Welcome, Mr. Governor.
Welcome.
I'll introduce you.
Hello.
Shall I take you to Mr. Herminio Quiñones?
He's expecting you with all the honors that befit you.
Of course. Thank you very much.
Look at you. You're so different.
Dad will be so happy to see you.
Me too.
Where's Nazario? He didn't come?
Are he and Jesus still bandits?
We shouldn't talk about that right now.
Let's go.
We'd like to invite you all for dinner.
You're obviously invited as well, Father.
Thank you, my child.
Where is Nazario?
He's been captured, sir.
He's hurt.
There were too many of them. They took him.
Was it serious?
He had a lot of blood on his arm but I think he'll make it.
You think he'll die?
No.
Jinete, you give the order and we'll go after him.
I can make it.
No, we can't let them capture all of us.
The plan is we go back to Navojoa.
The others are there,
and that's where we'll figure out what's next.
Are you sure you don't want to stay home during your visit?
My life is different now, Vicente,
and my home is the home of the Lord.
Don't bother, Vicente.
He even brought Father Hilario with him
to keep us from forcing him.
Nacho has a lot to tell you, don't you?
What about you?
You haven't told me what you've heard from Nazario.
Aren't you afraid he'll end up dead one day
because of his condition?
You see, Father, my brother's a hemophiliac.
That means he could bleed uncontrollably
at the slightest wound.
Yes, it does scare us, son, but he's an adult
and makes his own decisions, just like you did.
One chooses their own fate, their own vocation.
And both of you chose wrong if you ask me!
Let's not start, Dad.
What's wrong?
Excuse me, Isabel, but it's your brother.
Nazario was seen in town.
What? What happened?
They say he participated in a raid and got caught.
He's hurt.
-Secundino, can we please go? -No, thank you.
-I don't want to see him. -What?
I'll go.
No, Vicente, it's my responsibility.
He's my son. Please stay with the priests.
Behave yourself.
-Let's go. -Let's go, Dad.
More wine, Father?
Nieves!
Yes.
I'm convinced of the growth opportunity
for the entire region.
-San Blas de Baca... -Tomorrow I'll show you...
the full potential of my plans,
which don't exactly include San Blas.
Excuse me.
Boss, they took everything from us.
You're a good-for-nothing.
How could you let it happen?
Do you at least know who was behind it?
We caught Mr. Ramon Aguilar's son.
I ran it by Gamboa at the station
and he's certain these were Malverde's people.
What's the problem?
Nothing.
Well, actually, it is something.
It's a matter we must discuss
and that you should take to the president, Mr. Governor.
The robber, Jesus Malverde, is becoming a public safety issue.
Malverde? The highwayman?
Then it's true? That outlaw is real?
I can't stop the bleeding.
It's in God's hands now.
Keep him alive long enough that he can tell us
where this Malverde is.
Nazario, answer them, damn it.
Hey, your sister's talking to you, son.
You can't even stop giving me orders when I'm hurt, Dad.
How are you? Good?
Hey, kid.
I'm back.
Here you go.
And that's just part of it. There's more.
We've been expecting you.
And not because of this.
I had the same dream again last night.
You've never mourned him properly, kid.
The dead need tears if they're to rest peacefully.
Look at these cards, man!
What's up, babe? Get me another pulque.
You'll have to wait. I'm down a waitress tonight.
Oh, you know who else won't be making it?
Nazario Aguilar.
That's another client you're losing.
They're holding him at the police station.
Where?
Just around the corner.
Hey, what about my pulque?
Does it hurt a lot?
A bit, Nacho, but I'm okay.
You shouldn't be here.
You should go. This is no place for kids.
We didn't notice him coming with us.
Come on, son, let me talk to your uncle.
Next time, though I doubt there'll even be a next time.
Your time's up.
What will you do to him?
That depends on if he tells us where to find Malverde.
There was a robbery and my things were taken.
I hope the authorities take sufficient action
and make an example of your son, Aguilar.
Nazario, if you don't tell us where your boss is,
you're facing a hanging.
Don't you dare, Herminio.
You're going to let him tell you how to do your job, Gamboa?
You'd all better leave.
Gamboa, my brother is very sick. He needs a hospital.
Isabel, Dad, just go.
Don't let these miserable bastards humiliate you.
I love you very much, but you'd better go.
Thanks for coming. Love you, Dad.
Bye, sis.
Let's go, son.
I want the silver.
Now tell me, what did you do with my coins?
Those are already in better hands.
Stop!
What are you so happy about?
Can you already see beyond sight?
Don't ask questions when you know the answer.
I'm one of you. Don't forget that.
Only half of you.
Your father was not Yoreme,
and you were not with us for very long.
Long enough to know what I need to know.
When you went up north, I thought you wouldn't come back.
That your future was to be found in other lands.
I learned a lot over there, but this is where I'm from.
I have a lot to do for my people.
And with all you have to do, you chose the worst of it.
A bandit they believe is a saint.
You and I both know I'm more than a bandit.
It isn't right.
There's a lot that isn't right...
and somebody's got to bring order to the chaos.
I just make sure everyone gets their fair share.
You think robbing is fair?
Fair is nobody going hungry and having their land gobbled up.
Fair is those responsible paying for the misery they cause.
Your father's death still lingers in your heart.
The coyote and the deer live within you simultaneously.
That isn't right.
Don't you protect me?
I can't protect you from yourself.
Until you overcome all that hate inside you,
you'll never be free.
Ready.
Set.
Fire!
Dad.
Is that all you've got?
Your wife must hit harder than that.
Where is Malverde?
Tell me where he is!
Talk, damn it!
Talk!
Hit me all you want, but I don't know.
And I wouldn't tell you if I did.
-Then you're of no use to me. -Then pull the trigger.
Let me have a crack at him, boss.
I'll find out what you want to know.
Nobody knows.
He's nowhere and yet everywhere at once.
In the mountains.
In the valley.
There he is, behind you.
You're scared even when he's not around.
Alright, alright. He's not going to talk.
This calls for an expedited trial.
The governor is here. He can oversee it.
And I will see to it you are hanged in the town plaza.
Your future has been decided.
That's my position and I won't be swayed, Dad.
He's your son, but why should I bear the cross of his sins?
I thought that's what being a priest was about.
You really think you're better than everyone else?
Give it up, Isabel. He can't see reason.
How could you turn your back on your brother?
They're about to hang him!
My family is the church now.
You've got your own family too. You should worry about them.
Please stop fighting.
Father Hilario, please escort your saintly apprentice out.
It appears we're not good enough for him.
You're making a mistake, Secundino.
You're human too.
With flaws and all.
Kneeling and praying ten times a day
doesn't make you better than anyone.
You are so blind.
You're the one making a mistake by defending those two crooks.
O Mary! O Mary!
Conceived without sin.
We are all very worked up about what happened today.
Let's all calm down.
It's time to go, son.
God bless you.
God bless you. Let's go, let's go.
Excuse me.
Nice seeing you, sis.
I hate you, Jesus!
I hate you for what you represent,
for taking my brother from me.
What do you really hate about Jesus?
That he became Malverde... or that he isn't with you?
Let's just talk about it once and for all.
What the hell is it you feel for him?
Would you rather I talk about Jesus or about you?
You are my wife.
Which was my choice.
Don't make me regret it.
Is our relationship that bad?
I don't know,
but with everything that's happening,
at least now I feel like you have blood in your veins.
Do you love him?
You know full well that I hate him
for taking my brother Nazario.
Don't avoid the question. That's not what I asked.
Do you love him?
Do you also regret me offering to be a father to his son?
If you're going to get like this,
why don't you ask instead if I love you.
Or are you scared to hear the truth.
There's a place for you and your people.
The same place as always.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
This is your place.
That's enough for tonight, everyone.
Get some rest.
Jinete, there's news from town.
Nazario?
Yes.
He was locked up.
He's being guarded by Herminio and his people.
He shouldn't be there.
We'll take care of that tomorrow.
We should go now. There's no time to lose.
There's a time for everything. It's late.
It'll be sunrise in a few hours.
Don't let fear get the better of you.
Try to get some rest.
I've written down all the matters of importance to me.
With the reception in your honor tonight, I don't want to forget.
What more do you want, Mr. Quiñones?
You've got electricity, I'm allowing for the train
to pass through your lands.
What more do you want?
I want you to take this as a show of gratitude.
Open it.
It's not silver. It's gold, as pure as can be.
Are you trying to bribe me, Mr. Quiñones?
We're not common criminals, Mr. Governor.
I'm easing your workload.
I'm asking you to let me make the necessary decisions
in this region,
which will always be for the best.
For me and for you.
Pay close attention to what I'm telling you.
I know exactly what's going on.
The train line should go this way,
in a straight line toward San Blas, which is here.
But guess what?
Remember all that land Quiñones bought
from the Indians and villagers around Fuerte River?
-Yes. -You remember?
Yes.
He's diverting the train so that it goes this way,
through those lands that now belong to Quiñones.
And with the support of the governor,
who just happens to be visiting us for the first time.
Of course.
That means San Blas would become a ghost town
and the value of Quiñones' land would increase.
He probably paid in silver.
Almost certainly.
The governor and who knows how many others.
Regardless, that's our next move.
We're going to ruin Quiñones' plans.
So how do we do it?
It'll be easier than you think.
The problem with this Malverde is more serious
than what I'd been informed.
And I don't see much being done to catch him.
Shall I organize a meeting with Felix Gamboa,
the head of the civil police here,
so that you may give him direct orders?
Now that you make the decisions around here,
order Gamboa to capture him.
I see you haven't finished
reading my list of wants, Mr. Governor.
As of this moment, that is now a federal matter,
and you will make sure that our esteemed president,
Mr. Porfirio Diaz, puts a price on that criminal's head.
Now, instead of it being my problem, it's yours.
But let's not do anything about that nobody for the moment.
I want to show you something.
Come.
I'm sorry about last night.
I'm nervous about Nazario
and I said something I shouldn't have.
I'm glad you can admit it.
-Isabel. -I'm not in the mood.
This will cure him.
Jesus?
Nazario.
I brought you some food.
She's talking to you.
I heard you.
I brought you chicken soup, damn it.
I have to be dying to get you to cook for me.
No. You're not dying.
You look so pretty.
Thank you very much.
Don't worry, I didn't do it for you.
Or because he deserves it.
Please make sure he eats all of it.
May we have a moment alone?
Of course, ma'am. Excuse me.
How are you?
You look worse than before.
What did Quiñones do to you?
Sis, he's the one behind all this.
He's the one ordering around all these cowards here.
This is from Jesus.
You saw him? What did he say?
No.
He gave it to me and disappeared.
As always.
It's a poultice he makes that always helps a lot.
What are we going to do?
I don't know, but I'm sure I'll be fine.
-Jesus will know what to do. -Unbelievable!
You're about to die and you still believe in Jesus.
Sis, look... You shouldn't be here.
This is no place for you or anyone else.
I swear I'll be fine. Everything will be fine.
How can you say that?
You've been sentenced to hang.
Don't worry.
Things will all work out.
Look at these idiots.
Don't worry, Mr. Governor.
These things happen.
Damn fool!
Eleuterio! Bring another one!
You heard the man.
What do you think, Mr. Governor? Tell me.
This is what you'll be inaugurating tomorrow.
It's not finished yet.
If I'm telling you that the rail lines will come together
so that the train can go over that bridge,
then it's a done deal.
It'll be ready, Mr. Governor.
There will be a railroad by tomorrow.
Eleuterio.
Sir.
Use all the dynamite you need.
Smells good, doesn't it?
See? You can cook when you want to.
What's in here?
Oh, quail. Here they are.
Smells so good.
These table linens are all wrong.
I need the ones trimmed in gold. These are no good.
Rosa.
Sorry, ma'am.
Why aren't you working?
She was just telling me what happened in town last night.
What happened?
They caught one of the robbers.
What do you mean?
Oh, yes. I heard they'd caught someone.
Who was it?
They're saying it was an Aguilar
or one of the bandits seen around town.
What does he look like?
White, dark hair, tall?
I don't know, ma'am.
Sorry to interrupt, Father Hilario.
What's so important
that you must interrupt me when I'm eating?
Development, Father.
I've been talking to the townsfolk
and electricity will not be coming to San Blas.
It's going directly to Quiñones' ranch.
We can't allow that. It's not fair.
The governor explained to me that Mr. Herminio Quiñones
contributed a lot of money so the electrical lines
could be extended all the way here.
You'll have to be patient as it makes its way to other places.
No, I saw the plans.
The lines go straight to Quiñones' ranch,
through the river and ending at the railway.
If we don't do anything right now,
growth will never come to San Blas.
Neither will justice.
My brother's being executed tomorrow.
Our brother.
The only way to save him is to plead with the governor
for clemency.
But for that, I'll need the help of all of you.
See? There they are.
Let's split up.
Make your way over there and take care of Quiñones.
I'll handle the governor.
There's the governor. I'm going to speak to him.
Let's go as a family and introduce ourselves together.
Rosa.
How are you, cousin?
Let me go!
Jesus?
