www.titlovi.com farewell, shadows who pretendbefore my deadened senses... ...to be body and voice, whenthou possess not a body. for, i know now the truth,that life is but a dream. calderon de la barca go to comala, juan. that's where your father lives. i shall do that, mother. don't ask him for anything.
demand what is rightfully ours. what he should have given me. and never did. make him pay dearly forhaving forsaken us, son. i will. you must go see him. he'll be happy to know you. his name is pedro paramo. mother.
all your life you missed comala. yet, you never went back. where are you going? i'm going down, sir. do you know a place called comala? that's where i'm headed, sir. what takes you to comala? i'm going to see my father. oh.
he'll be glad to see you. nobody's been downhere for so long. what does your father look like... ...if i may ask? i don't know him. i only know his name:pedro paramo. see all that land? lt belongs to pedro paramo. ln the meantime,we are born on a mat.
ls there any water around here? yes. here you go. but it's old water. what happened here? a roadrunner passed by. that's what they call those birds. i was only askingabout the village. lt looks so sad.
like it's deserted. sign of the times, sir. well. i live further down. lf you're staying, lookfor mrs. eduviges dyada. lf she's still alive,tell her i sent you. where can i see pedro paramo? all over the place. pedro paramo is pure resentment.
who are you? abundio. i'm also pedro paramo's son. comala, my town. rising over the plainlike a coin box... ...where we keepour memories. you'll find myaffection there, son. a town that smells of freshlybaked bread and spilt honey. where did you send me, mother?
to the place i once loved. where i would like tolive for all eternity. good evening. come in. she didn't tell me until now. who? doloritas. she told me you were coming today. - my mother?- yes.
i'm eduviges dyada. come in, juan preciado. the house is a royal mess. the people who went awaymeaning to return... ...kept their belongings here. then, they seemed toforget about the town. but here's the room thati was saving for you. i keep it tidy incase somebody comes. i'll fix your bed tomorrow.
you need some rest. and sleep is anexcellent mattress. who told you about me? the muleteer who brought me over. a character named abundio. the good abundio. so, he still remembers me! i used to tip himfor each passenger. a great conversationist.
but that ended. he became deaf, and decided notto speak things he couldn't hear. the man i saw... ...could hear. lt probably wasn't him. besides, abundio is dead. they're all the same. you give them everything, andthey leave you with the pain. i'm thirsty.
ls there any water, mrs. eduviges? your mother, did sheever mention me? all she said was... ''you must see him''. my father. pedro paramo. do you know him? of course. he went to half moon today.
looking so handsomein his english suit. come in, fulgor sedano. shucks, pedrito. last time i saw you,you were this tall. sit down, fulgor. we can relax and talk. i rather stand, pedro. suit yourself. but don't forget the ''mister''.
so, how's the land? not good. there's nothing left. we sold the last head of cattle. mr. pedro. i've been the administratorfor so long. i know what needs to be done. what about the san juans? have they come into town?
no way. they're probably at the mines. you shouldn't worry aboutthe people who are gone... ...but about the ones who are here. we owe money to everybody. the arias, the preciados,the guzmans. why? because there's no way to pay. why's that?
because your family borrowedand never paid back... ...and they used everything up. however... somebody's interestedin the remaining land. although... ...at a lower market price. are you talking about yourself? how could you believe that? i believe in holiness.
we'll address our issues later. i understand thatwe owe the greatest amount... ...to mrs. doloritas preciado. what assets does this... ...mrs. doloritas have? well, you know. the middle ranch. tomorrow, you'll askfor lola's hand. how could she ever want me?
you'll ask in my name. you'll say... ...that i'm deeply in love with her. while you're at it,notify the preacher. i really enjoy workingfor you, mr. pedro. lt's true sedano, i love her. lt's her eyes, you know. oh, and go ahead andask her for a loan. forgive me for blushing.
i never thoughtmr. pedro fancied me. comala is filled with pretty girls. he can't sleep justthinking of you, dolores. there's nobody else. let's set the date forthe day after tomorrow. lsn't that rather soon? i have made no arrangements. i must order the trousseau. let's see, today is the first.
on the eighth, yes. ask him to wait a few days. he would do it right now. besides... ...there's somethingelse on those days. oh, how embarrassing. women things. - you know.- so what? marriage is all about loving.
the rest isn't important. you don't understand, mr. fulgor. i do. the day after tomorrow. father renteria has been advised. and the judge has beennotified that you will keep... ...joint assets. eight short little days. father renteria wants 60 pesos...
...for overlooking the paperwork. he says you're a known heretic. you haven't paid your tithesince your mother died. did you ask dolores for an advance? no, boss. i didn't want to break her joy. you're such a child, fulgor. well, you can hireall the hands we need. i have here a young girlto look after you.
damiana cisneros, at your service. but we can't pay them. and we still have thetoribio aldrete affair. - what affair is that?- borderlines. he put up a fence and wants us... ...to finish off the remaining area. land has no divisions. he measured his propertycorrectly, i saw him. tell him he made a mistake.
tear down the fence if necessary. what about the laws? what laws? from now on, we aregoing to be the law. by the way... tell me, fulgor. who murdered my father? to tell the truth, boss... ...nobody knows for sure.
but as soon as he died... ...all the buzzardsfell upon his property. then, we can saythat comala killed him. the whole town of comala. lsn't that so? shucks, boss. let's celebrate the wedding. we wouldn't wantinnocent people to pay. hurrah for the bride and groom,hurrah for the bride and groom.
cheers, boss, congratulations.hurrah, boss, cheers. cheers, boss, cheers. cheers, boss.congratulations, cheers. any blanket can keep youwarm if you wrap it properly. - do you know who his mother is?- no, father. pedro paramo brought him and said:''this is my son miguel''. ''take care of him while he's young.'' with that blood running in him,let's hope he's baptized. just in case, i'll smuggle him...
...to be ointed with holy water. maybe now there willbe peace, maybe now. let's pray, father renteria... ...that we don't die before confession. to you, to your happiness. i hope we get along likei did with your father. my father is dead,toribio aldrete. you have to make newagreements with me. why? lsn't my word good enough?
did he make a mistakein his calculations? i'm certain, he miscalculated. you see, aldrete? you invadedmy land at half moon... ...and took over vilmayo hill. where my father was killed. i'm too much of a man foryour treachery, pedro boy. as far as your father... ...his ambition and crueltybrought on his death. you can't blame anyone.
i can, and i will very soon. she must be having nightmares,she can't rest. sometimes she doesn't dreamat all, that's the problem. remember i cured youwhen you stopped dreaming? that's why i called you. as a dream weaver,that's your job. raise her feverlike you did mine. there you go, you swindler. don't wake up,i'm saltaperico.
i'm here for you to get well. sleep, girl. sleep. dream. do you feel you have a fever? the moon is wicked tonight. and your future, well,it doesn't look very good. let's see, fulgor. let's see, let's see.
tomorrow. tomorrow you're oncommission with aldrete. you're going to filea complaint against him... ...for usufruct. or whatever you come up with. that won't be easy, mr. pedro. like i said... i want to recoverthe vilmayo lands. the other landownerswill get upset.
and then one dayyou'll end up stiff. just like your father. let's take this on, fulgor. let us suppose thataldrete killed my father. there's no harm insupposing, mr. pedro. but aldrete is no chicken. he's got more gutsthan you and i together. oh, eduviges. you go instead of me.
where? to see pedro paramo. saltaperico said i shouldn'tbe with a man tonight. i can't, dolores.lt's got to be you. - he'll know.- no. ln the dark, he won't notice. go on, do it for me. i'll repay you. now, go on.
lt's a new day. what did he do to you? i don't know yet. usufruct. look, mr. toribio. signature this document... ...and i assure you'll continueto enjoy your physical and... ...mental abilities for many years. with this paper.
half for you. half for me. you and i. we'll fix this. how about it? because my borders... ...are correctly marked. no. you know it.
remember. i'm following orders. look, look. you. you're talking to methis way, mr. fulgor... ...not on your own account... ...but because of thepower backing you up. board off that door, viges. he won't be heard from again.
ever. he behaved like a chicken. the power backing me up. as if fulgor sedano.... ...didn't have what it takes. what's your mother? as soon as the fevers hit sayula... ...she left us in a breath. poor doloritas.
no wonder hervoice was so weak. as if she had traveleda long way... ...to get here. maybe that's whyyou're so pale. i'm tired, mrs. eduviges. do you have anything to eat? i must have something. yes, sonny. there must be something left...
...of the provisions i'm about to send... ...to the miners at andromeda. that's where the san juans are. susana, get over here. get a bath of regal water,if you can. start gathering the portionsfor the main house. what's the news in comala? there is none, mr. san juan. lt's dead down there.
i prefer the greater coast. where people are more nobleand less afraid. not really. people everywherehave rotten souls. we have to send provisionsto the labor store. we have to reinforce thesouthern gallery at andromeda. go to the mines, that's your place. whatever you say, mr. san juan. you're back early from the mine.
i don't feel like working. you're growing up, susana. girls here become womenall of a sudden. what would you like, father? i'm very lonely. but that's all right. you're slender and strong. get dressed. you have to help me.
notify me when you'reon the ground. tell me if you see something. i can't see anything, father. give me that, susana. lt's a skull. look beside it, whatever it is. money. gold circles, look for them,susana. there aren't any,i can't see anything.
i'll have to go down myself. how long ago did your mother die? what brought that up, father? you're... just like her. when she was young, when i met her. susana. your body felt so goodon the hot sand. florencio.
lt had to be you. only with you. always with you. i like you better at night. under your sheets. i like it better in the sea. look. florencio's funeral. they say a roof cavedin on him at the gallery.
yes, that's what they say. they're taking him to a shaft. there are other dead people there. poor people who don'tleave any gold behind. he asked for it. they should have buriedhim at sea, bartolome. mrs. doloritas. have you ordered mybreakfast yet? lt's so late, ma'am.i can't waste time like this.
eat. this dish is cold, coldand insipid like you. my sweetheart gave me a handkerchief. let's go up. my sweetheart in my worldshall be by my side. come on. what of my father diesof anger? he's so old... you're pretty. - you're young, you'll have it all.- wait a bit, mr. pedro.
my father won't bealive much longer. you're shaking. your heart is going tocome out of your mouth. - susana.- margarita, boss. where is your body? stay. embrace me like that. strong. like in the ocean.
open up for your father, susana. can't you hear me, you wretch? yes bartolome, i heard you perfectly. why are you alwayssighing, doloritas? i wish i was a buzzard soi could fly to my sister's. you can go this minute. - that's all i needed.- what's this? god help us. damiana.
leave that, and goto sayula with the lady. - help her with the delivery.- so long, mr. pedro. you'll call me back one day. - damiana, do you want to return?- me? - i do, mr. pedro.- then, return. bye, mrs. doloritas. i'llsend your things tomorrow. you'll feel better at your sister's. and you can sigh all day. martin, cacarizo, go with them.
we'll need a lady athalf moon, mr. pedro. what we need is something else. like the fregosos lands... ...the guzman's ranch,the pinzon's corral. they were the plunderers. takingfrom thieves isn't stealing. watch your tongue, fulgor. once all the land is mine... ...remind me that there isstill something else i want. salaries will be doubledby decree.
you'll work eight hour shifts. from now on, the minebelongs to the nation. hurrah for general obregon. long live the western section! long live lturbe and obregon! hurrah for lturbe and obregon! boss, shall we killthe administrator? leave him there, let'ssee if he can dig. pedro paramo neverloved your mother.
all he thinks about is susana,and she's insipid. show me the wayto get to my father. all roads lead to heaven. and only i know the shortcuts. i haven't the strengthfor anything else. oh, dear. ls it you, mr. eduviges? mrs. eduviges. where are you?
were you scared? the mules are ready ,i'm leaving. to the greater coast this evening. the soil is good there. pity they don't belong to one man. lf the cornfield yields,we'll pay him at harvest time. lt's his life or mine,but he won't get away with it. requiescat in paceamen, brother-in-law. just in case, the deaddon't return, unfortunately.
damn him. he deserves it more. what about the rapes? i'll be damned, that sonof a gun of your boss. comala, my town, wheredreams weakened me. life there is aired as ifit were nothing but a murmur. yes, mother. you can hear the murmur. shouts, echoes. but i can't findanyone at your town.
this way you'll hear me better.i'll be closer to you. you'll find the voice ofmy memory and of my death. lf death ever hada voice, that is. he spent his nightswith me... ...until that girlsoaked up his brain. you should be happyyou're having a fair son. mr. pedro, he'llalways be a ladies man. what have you beensearching for, boy? hey , you.
who are you looking for? i'll go with you,you don't need to force me. - i can't.- yes you can. what does a woman mean,after all? - are you leaving me alone tonight?- perhaps. little mule, don't gowhile i tighten the belt. the first time hurt so much. we had to populate thispoor town somehow. my sweetheart gave me handkerchief.
sweetheart, you're in my world,i wish i was your eyes. excuse me, madam. i'm not a madam. they used to call memiss renteria. now i'm anita, the old maid. are you from these parts? - do you know pedro paramo?- yes. i'm the priest's niece. i heard you were lost,come in for a rest.
thank you. at the house where i was staying... ...i heard shouts, as ifsomebody was being murdered. must be an echo that got pent up. that's where eduviges dyadahanged herself long ago. they boarded up windows anddoors until she dried up. i don't know how you went in there. mrs. eduviges let me in. poor eduviges, she must stillbe grieving her desperation.
but come in, juan preciado.this is my room. ls there anything to drink here? let's see if there'sany mass wine left over. lt's the best there isfor tremors. nothing. there is never anything. when will you get some rest? - what's wrong, miss ana?- lt's red. galloping down theroad to half moon.
- ls somebody coming?- no. lt's only miguel's horse... ...coming and going,looking for him everywhere. i can't hear any noisesmade by a horse. - who's miguel?- another one of pedro paramo's sons. another? they're all pedro paramo's offspring. but he only acknowledgedthe motherless one. our father, stand up, satan.
- you shall die, you shall die.- help, help! miguel is going to causea lot of trouble. let him be, he's come of age. you're entitled to your opinion, sir. but that woman who came cryingwas truly inconsolable. i offered her 50 shares of cornfor her to forget the matter. - but she refused.- who was it? - some poor people i don't know.- don't worry, fulgor. to me, those people don't exist.
we have to push the aldrete's cattle... ...beyond what usedto be the guzman ranch. what about the guzman's cattle? ease them over to the pinzon's corral. hurry, a storm is approaching.let's go. - yes, boss.- let's get goin'. well, another good yearfor half moon. when the grass grows,we won't have to feed... ...the cattle corn,although there's enough.
all right, now. find bartolome san juan,tell him i need him. things are pretty toughin those parts, mr. pedro. lt's rumored that the mineris lost on the mountain. find the san juans, and takemy offer to the old man. and my boss mr. pedro paramo... ...says you can live in comala. he'll even lend you a house. tell your bossi don't accept charity.
carlos. lt isn't time for the ranch yet. there's no work, the girl is alone.she needs some distraction. don't worry, she hassomeone to distract her. the veins are drying up. some things are more powerfulthan any metal in the world. like what? well... those dog-goned affections.
those looks. the desire. and if you can't getrid of your desires... ...you have to getrid of other people's. ls this any way to live? there's no other. - have a good trip.- bye, boss. giddee-up, let's go. why are you hiding?
i want to rest. only your blessed mother can rest. why do you recall her? what have we done, susana? - why did our souls rot?- leave me alone, bartolome. wait. let's see where you andi can get to together. i'll leave, i'll leavea thousand times... ...until i die and youcan't find me. father.
are you calling me, father? father. bartolome. leave me alone. come. don't abandon me. you know that only somebodywho loves you more... ...than i could takeyou away from me. and there is no such person.
where were you atthese hours, boy? milking cows. you like to nurseon fine milk. all kinds of milkare good, mother villa. especially when your father isthe owner of every cow around. do i depend on my father? that's what they say. miguel paramo is his own man. and if you don't believe me...
- ...i'll prove it right now.- let's see if you can. the first person to walk by. alms, sir. to pray for the dead. - who are you?- they call me dorotea. the cuarraca. and who's he? was. he used to bemr. timoteo renteria.
brother of the priest of comala. - he was visiting.- besides begging... ...what do you do? i want a son, sir. that's why i wanderup and down the streets... ...carrying this pain. good-bye, dorotea. forget thedead man, and about the son... ...maybe i can give him to you. the deceased left a daughter behind.
they call her ana renteria. now she's going to be atemptation at the priest's home. that's my cuarraca,you must be broker. my son would neverkill anybody. for that, you needkidneys this size. could be. but miguel is so violentand lives so fast... ...that he seems to beracing against time. blame me for everything he does.
what's up, cacarizo? turns out that sonof a gun bartolome... ...ripped up your promissory note. and when i got back... ...he was gone without a trace. i think his miners ganged up. you're going to look forbartolome san juan yourself. lf you're fond of your skin... ...don't come back without him.
fulgor sedano. shucks, mr. pedro, you sendme on some hard errands. stop crying, dear. i came to tell you... ...that your father wantsto talk to you tonight... ...before he loses his lncarnation. you know darn well thatmiguel paramo killed him. don't repeat the devil's rumors. miguel is a saint.
he's named after an archangel.believe me, anita. leave me alone, dorotea. my father is dead. and i'm so alone. you know the thingsthat penitent souls do. tonight. at the graveyard. lf you still have yourhopes up, that is. lt's miguel paramo,don't be afraid.
- i came to apologize.- let go of me, you monster. don't you know how to forgive? my uncle says youshouldn't hate anyone. i'm getting married to you tomorrow. lf you're going to kill me,do it now. stay still. - let me go.- stay still! - let me go.- i'm going to embrace you to death. i'm going to diveinto your bones, anita.
i've always loved you. oh, well, i'll be darned. those damned dreams. that's the kind of love thatmakes us live more than we should. did you hear? that devil is on his way back. i can't hear anything. ln that case,it's my sixth sense. a god-given gift.
only i know how muchpain this has caused me. what do you mean? i loved him many times. against my will. and, on that night... ...i was in bed wheni heard his horse approach. what's wrong?you have a terrible expression. something very strangehappened to me. didn't you go to sayula,to settle the paperwork?
that was only an excusei gave you. the truth is thecuarraca told me... ...that the girl fromsayula was waiting for me. but i couldn't find the road. i looked all over. but sayula doesn't exist. i came to tell youbecause you love me. - anyone else would call me crazy.- not crazy, miguel. you must be dead.
they told you thatyour horse would kill you. i tried to get red to jumpover the stone wall... ...that my father builton the road to sayula. i know i jumpedand galloped away. and i had my things readyto go away with you. to tell the truth... ...i didn't care aboutthe sanctification anymore. listen, anita. i feel all broken up now.
- all eaten-up inside.- go away and rest in peace. your father will twist andturn in pain tomorrow. i'm grateful for yourhaving come to say good-bye. but i hate you, miguel paramo. who is it? miguel, mr. pedro. what did they do? lt wasn't anybody. his horse killed himon the road to sayula.
i'm starting to pay. the sooner the better. that way it's over faster. looks bigger than he was. i want you to bless him for us. i won't. he died in sin and he willnot enter the kingdom of heaven. i know you hated him, father,and you had a right. but forget all that now.
god won't like myinterceding for him. have pity and forgive him. like god may have forgiven him. here. alms for your parish. leave me alone with him. they are yours, father. he can buy salvation. you know if this is the price.
as for myself... ...condemn him, father. all right, father. you win. requiem aeternadona aeis domine requiescat in pace glory to the father, the son and theholy spirit, as in the beginning... ...is now and shall ever be,world without end. amen. our father who art in heaven...
...hallowed be thy name,thy kingdom come... ...thy will be done on earthas it is in heaven. lt's too much uproarfor my deceased. lf he had been theirs, theywouldn't cry quite as much. so, like they told me,they can have him. my boss will protect youover at half moon. and the lady. how can you guarantee it? lf my boss is as muchof a man as i think he is...
...who knows, he mayeven recover your mines. another one of his foremen. maybe we can return andromeda. and rest alone. all right, bartolome. fear not. i'll always follow you. pedro paramo is powerful. we will have no salvationfrom here.
yes, let's go to comala. to live in peace. pray three our fathersand three hail marys. i absolve thee. ln nomine patrii,et filii et spiritu sanctii, amen i confess... ...to almighty god... are you drunk? i was at miguelitoparamo's wake. i had one too many.
why did you cometo waste my time? this time i amwith sin, father. and too many of them. well, go ahead and confess. i can't cause him any harm... ...so i confess it was me... ...who brought him the girls. to the deceased miguelito. you took them to him?
yes, sometimes. other times, i justarranged the encounter. and others... ...well, i would justgive him instructions. what shall i do with you, dorotea? look inside,try to forgive yourself. i can't, father. but you can. that's why i came to confession.
- where there many?- tons of them. lmagine, even yourniece anita... ..was involved in the mess. you'll never know heaven, dorotea.you won't even see it. may god forgive you. lf the only door is that of hell... ...i should... ...never have been born. did you know he killed your father?what did you do to stop it?
nothing, uncle. he came and said he was sorry. let us give thanksto the lord our god... ...for taking him away fromthis town he hurt so much. even if he has himin his glory now. did you grant miguel paramoforgiveness? what do we knowabout heaven and hell? prayers don't reach our stomach. and it's mr. pedrowho supports me.
uncle. what have you donewith the strength of god? my father is gone. miguel is gone. i didn't want to be alone... ...so i went off to thecristera war with my uncle. all i did was learn foullanguage from the troops. and i was shot in my temple. but i asked...
...uncle, bury me in comala. miguel's horse is stillwandering about. and the old son of a gun,may he rest in glory, did it. lt's the first timeanyone did anything for me. miss renteria. ana. blessed mary , pray for us,blessed mary , pray for us. holy virgin of virgins. father, i confess that i sleptwith pedro paramo yesterday.
i confess that i hadpedro paramo's child. that i leant my daughterto pedro paramo. free us, lord, from the spiritof fornication, free us, lord. comala. at dawn, the ears of wheatwave on the green plains. and at noon, the fresh leaves ofthe trees brush the town square. father, i can't go on anymore. take me with you. get me out of here.
come, i will guide you. climb up that slanted street,the colimotes alley... ...and you'll see the half moonlight up the night. that's where your fatherpedro paramo lives. you took so long. i got lost in the whispers. do you live here? i'm damiana cisneros. - and this is half moon.- then...
...you're the nanny mymother told me about. yes, i am. i took care of you from yourfirst day, juan preciado. come in. here we are, my boy. falling apart in this house... ...that starts pressingdown on us from every side. what brings you here? i'm looking for pedro paramo. lt seems he was my father.
i was brought... ...by hope. hope? that can cost you dearly. but it's only natural, son. only natural. you'll have to seeyour father later. at the momenthe's busy with some men... ...who just arrived from half moon.
- did both of them come?- yes. mr. bartolome and his woman. could it be his daughter? by the way he treats her,i believe she's his woman. get yourself some rest, fulgor. later we have to settle thatmatter with galileo arechiga... ...who not only hasn't paid up,but says the land is his. welcome to half moon. i appreciate your hospitality,i can pay you with work.
that was always my intention. good administratorsare hard to come by. that's why i insistedso much, mr. san juan. oh, yes... ...that must be it.thank you, then. there's nothing to thank me for. we are both going to benefit. i was told that youcan recover the mines. andromeda has possibilitiesif we work steady.
however, i need people. everybody's at the rebellion. fulgor will bein charge of the men. you, go to the mine. see what should be done,and then come back. i'll give you whatever you need. yes, mr. pedro. take the mistressto her quarters. doloritas' old room.

...half moon. tomorrow you'llvisit the whole ranch. you'll see how large it is. i've never loved any other woman. and i'll love you forever. tonight i want to rest, pedro. i'll only ask one favor of you. don't let bartolome come in here. lord. you don't exist.
i asked you to protect him. to take care of him for me. that's what i asked. but you only take care of souls. and what i want from him... ...is his body. i waited all my life for you. now we have to forget all the years... ...i spent putting your name and face...
...on every other women. then... ...let me give you another bodyand another face when you come. don't ask for more. don't you know you're mine? yours? - yours? what does that mean?- mine. susana belonging to pedro paramo. to me and nobody else.
you'll never understand,i have my dream. i want my sea. - what are you whispering?- never mind. come here. learn to remember me, come. learn to dream of me when i amalive again with my love. you know, fulgor... this is the most beautifulwoman that ever existed. i don't want to lose her again.
do you understand, fulgor? tell her father i accept. he may go back and continue toexploit the mines of andromeda. and i suppose... ...it'll be easy to make theold man disappear over there. we need it to be. she has to be... orphaned. lt isn't hard to do. well then, get going,fulgor, get going.
what if she finds out? tell me, just between youand i, who's going to tell her? i'm sure nobody will. forget the ''i'm sure'' part... forget it right now. and everything will turn out fine. you make me like it. you make me forget the sea. everything.
susana, open the door. why won't you let me in? i'm naked, father. so what? i want to tell you thati'm returning to the mines. i'll come back to get youas soon as i fix things. we'll live over there forever. but this time, protected and alone. alone, protected.with you, bartolome?
don't talk so much,and take care of yourself. remember that man is marriedand has had a load of women. yes, bartolome. stop calling me bartolome. i'm your father. as far as i'm concerned,that man is pure evil. that's pedro paramo. and i, who am i? you're my daughter.
mine. - daughter of bartolome san juan.- that's not true. no, it isn't true. why are you denyingme as your father? are you mad? of course i am, bartolome. didn't you know? ls that you? you're seeing thingsagain, susana.
i'm telling mr. pedro thati'm leaving. i can't stand it. you aren't going anywhere,wretched damiana. you'll never find someonewho loves you as i do. no, i won't go. i'll always take care of you. you poor little thing. stop crying. i'll tell pedro paramo thatyou're very kind to me. i'm crying because you'realone now, susana.
i just got word... ...that your father is dead. then it was him. he came to bid farewell. him. he came from the sea. he and i can only loveeach other in the sea. don't you understand? i hear him.
go away, damiana. the land is mine. did you hear me, galileo? you're kind of stupid. after all these years, youstill don't know pedro paramo? lf i were you, i'd takemy family and run. - right, terencio?- yes, mr. fulgor. but we're not alone this time. you'll see how long a rebelwill last on these lands.
perseverancio! did you run out of laughter? here we are, the revolutionaries. and we've come foryour boss' land. go and tell pedro paramo... ...that we'll be seeing him there. who killed fulgor? some so-called revolutionaries.they yelled: ''tell your boss we'llbe seeing him. run.''
what are you waiting for? tell them i'm herefor whatever they want. but first, go aroundby la consagraciã³n. do you know tilcuate? tell him i need himon the double. i'll do that, boss. those men are comingdown the mountain. they'll be here soon. other men?
ls florencio among them? florencio, who? what are you talking about? they say nobody can lovelike pedro paramo. that's what all the women say. i've never been with pedro paramo. father forbade it before he left. he goes into your roomevery night. you think i don'tknow who loves me?
you think i'm crazy, too. only in madnesscan a woman dream. say what you will.you used to make me angry. now i know i'm hereto take care of you. you don't know anything. poor dumb damiana. how do you know it isn't true? i know that somebodyis dreaming us up. when they wake up, you and i...
...and pedro paramoand the half moon... ...will disappear like a nightmare. and we'll all be dead. before we're even born. so? well that's all. we're up in arms. what more do you need? but, why?
hold on whilewe get instructions. then, we will find out the cause. - anyhow, now we're here.- i know why. we turned against the governmentbecause it's treacherous. and against you, because we'retired of putting up with you. how much do you needto make your revolution? maybe i can help. let's see, casildo.about how much do we need? well, off the top of my head...
...i'd say fifty thousandwouldn't be bad for starters. but, of course... ...maybe you consider it too little. since you're so charitable. i'm going to give you 1 00 thousand. - how many men do you have?- three hundred. well, i'll lend youthree hundred more. you'll have the moneyand the men in a week the money is a gift from me.
the men are just on loan. - ls that all right?- certainly. there's just one problem. we want the money right now. here's half. you can collectthe rest in a week. lt's been a pleasuremeeting you, men. remember, if you don'tkeep your word... ...you'll hear from perseverancio.
that's my name. you assure you, i'll remember. perseverancio. the man named pedro paramoowns this area. and we're up in arms to... ...take the land fromthese feudal lords, right? don't worry, perseverancio. first we'll take the money... ...we need to buy rifles.
- and overthrow the government.- and then what? then, when we are the government... ...we'll split thewretch's land... ...to give them tothe people who work it. tilcuate. who do you think their boss is? i guess it's that fat guy... ...wearing glasses thatdidn't even look up. no, tilcuate.
you're the boss. or, don't you want to revolt? i can't wait. then, enlist 300 menof your trust. and join those rebels. ...do you likestone gate ranch? i sure do. from now on, it's yours. gee, thanks, boss.
but with or without this... ...i'd join the revoltjust for the fun of it. try not to wander too far,in case any others come by. they must see that theplace is already occupied. i'll be seeing you, mr. pedro. how many birds have youkilled in your life, damiana? a lot, susana. did it make you sad? yes, susana.
...what are you waiting for to die? death, susana. lf that's all... ...it'll come soon enough. don't worry. please, go cry somewhere else. i heard you were defeated,tilcuate. and you gave in. you were misinformed, boss.my people are intact. you see, some of my men...
...opened fire on a platoon... ...that turned out to be a whole army. - villistas, you know.- where are those from? from up north,they're taking everything. they're powerful,nobody can deny that. join them. i told you, you've gotto be in the winning side. i am, but we need money. we're all relatives here.
we don't want to steal. i already gave you some.why do you think you're there? why don't you rob sayula?lt's full of rich folk. take some of it away,let them know you're not playing. anyhow, boss, i always getsomething good out of you. come on, boys, let's go to sayula. follow him, men. the lady has lost all direction. she no longer wants to live.
what will become of my arms... ...if they don'thave your body to hold? what will become of my tender lips... ...without your mouth to kiss? ls that you, father? yes, daughter. tell me. why are you here if you're dead? i'm here to comfort you.
good-bye, bartolome. no, don't come back.i don't need you. i only came to prepareyou for death. am i going to die now? ln that case... ...leave me alone. don't take my dream. how will i recover it later? repeat after meand you'll fall asleep.
my mouth is full of soil. look at me. - lt's me, pedro.- my mouth is full of soil. - yes, father.- don't say yes, father. repeat after me and you'llnever wake up again. susana, listen to me. my mouth is full of soil.i'm swallowing foamy saliva. my mouth is full of you. my mouth sinkstwisting in grimaces.
perforated by teeththat puncture and devour it. my mouth is sinking, youhold me in your arms. i dreamed of you sincechildhood, don't go. i'm cold. hold me, i'll protect you. we spent very happymoments at sea. since where were you dead... ...that i never met you? - i wonder what happened.- mrs. susana died.
- who died?- the mistress. - your wife?- pedro paramo's. the poor woman croaked. let's go to the racket,saltaperico. before the caciquestops your provocation. come on, natives, let's makea racket. hurrah for life! there's no making them leave. there's no way to make themunderstand it's a duel. they hear the bells tolland think it's a holiday.
i'll cross my arms. and comala will starve to death. have you ever felta corpse's moan? lt's her, susana san juan. a woman who was fromout of this world. she seems to be moaning. there must be a reason. maybe pedro paramo made her suffer. she was already hurtingand crazy when he got her.
but he wanted her so badly... ...that he stays thereevery afternoon... ...looking at the roadthey took her away on. while comala becomesflooded in farewells. let everybody go. burn down the houses. that way, only you and i... ...will be left. you left a long time ago.
ever since then... ...i've been dying every day. i asked you to return. they say we end upforgetting all memories. my heart is filled with love. all i see is mud. a heart drowningin black mud. you know? i've been wishing for death.
that's what i've been doing. to see if maybe i cancry a little bit like that. together, we willsee all the land. the kingdom of thecacique pedro paramo. you raped us. you murdered us. you stole from us. you abandoned your children. and comala is dying ofstarvation and poverty.
i feel like i'm dying, damiana. heavens. lt must be the threestrikes of st. pascual bailon... ...notifying someone thattheir time of death has come. what are you doing? i'm asleep, boss. come here son, you're so pale. let's get our ofthis damned bedroom... ...before it caves infrom the earth tremors...
...and catches me oneday under its rubble. what about my father? where is my father? you saw me leave thedoor ajar for him. but he never came back for me. pity. because he's a real man whenit comes to loving a woman. i'm going to say that he'sleaving miguelito fairly young. where will i go nowto find him?
you have but one road left, boy. the one coming from sayula and crossingthe land, it's the farthest one. where does it go? to the graveyard, juan preciado. i'm going back. i have nowhere to go. half moon is gettingquite lonely now. nanny. nobody is as lonely as i am.
the day before yesterday... ...cuca refugio wasfrolicking with me... ...like a young mare. and she died only yesterday. the evil eye, the cold breeze,and other curses. my cuca refugio. there is nobody left in townto help anyone, mother villa. they say there's new life on theother side of the mountain chain. they are dividing the land...
...and building schoolsfor the poor. give me the pint that'sleft, mother villa. i'll drink itbeside my deceased. beside my cuca refugio. maybe all the bloodshed wasto some avail, there is hope. go away from comala, abundio. go away now. and don't forget to saygood-bye to your father. where are you, juan?
with your people. you sent me to a lonely town... ...to search for someonewho doesn't exist. walking on this long night... ...only to die for you. can't you hear me, mother? yes, son.i am by your side. come closer. hug me.
- you taste of dust.- come, juan. come to my arms. your lap is so warm. rest. you are no longer alone. i couldn't find my father. pedro paramo isnever done dying. go see what that man wants. give me some charity...
...so i can bury my wife. free us of our enemies'traps, lord. i've come for a bit of help... ...to bury my deceased. pedro paramo's son. i am pedro paramo's son. we are all pedro paramo's sons. coming. i'm coming.
