people.
I just want to try to talk them
out of a boat.
Who are you?
Escaped prisoner, Papillon.
Where are the other two?
They're down on the beach.
One's got a broken ankle.
Come in.
You have two rifles.
That's right.
And you want a boat.
That's right.
But you're short of money.
That's right, too.
Why don't you have the courtesy
to look at me when you speak?
We do a lot of smuggling here.
We raid the mainland. We steal boats.
When an outsider comes in...
...we generally kill him,
as a security measure.
That makes sense.
Well...
...a man of Christian understanding.
Do you like cigars?
When I can get 'em.
Try this one.
How did you know I have dry leprosy,
that it isn't contagious?
I didn't.
In normal weather you should
sight Honduras in three and a half...
...maybe four weeks.
When you get there,
you'll need some money.
We passed the hat.
Take it, it's disinfected.
If you're going to catch leprosy, it's better
to catch it from money than from people.
Take it.
All we use it for is gambling...
...bringing in women lepers from Albina.
We've always got enough for that.
Hurry up. Get on board,
you'll miss the tide.
Goodbye.
Honduras.
My leg! Get it off my leg!
It's on my leg!
Goddamn it!
All right, come on.
Come on, one more.
-I'm already so drunk I can't think.
-Yeah.
That's what I want.
I want you to put this between your teeth.
It's going to hurt you, Louis.
If you want to yell, yell.
I certainly will.
-I fooled you.
-What?
I fooled you, didn't l?
One moment, please, seсores.
What do you want, Sergeant?
Identification. Who are you?
We're fishermen. Our friend here--
Goddamn it, we...
...we made it!
Amigo.
Por favor.
Those bastards trussed me up like a pig.
Trackers!
Show your papers, please.
Por favor.
Seсor...
Dinero, por favor.
What was your crime?
Murder.
I wasn't guilty.
I've never killed anybody in my life.
If you did regain your freedom,
what would you do with it?
I haven't had much time
to think about that.
If you are a thief or a murderer,
by morning...
...you might have stolen
everything we have.
These are mine. They were a gift.
You keep 'em, until I leave.
Are you awake?
Yes, ma'am.
If you are sinful, you have made amends
by feeding half the poor in Santa Marta.
If you are truly not sinful,
you have nothing to fear.
God will watch over you.
Your five years in solitary confinement
are at an end.
You've paid part of your debt to France.
Papi.
I'm free.
That's the only way off Devil's Island.
We try to take things easy here.
The sharks and the tide do
the real guard work...
...so it's live and let live...
...unless you make trouble.
That one's empty.
You might as well take it.
But watch yourself around the other huts.
Someone might take you for a poacher
and kill you.
How dare you sit there!
This bench belongs to Captain Dreyfus!
Who are you to sit on that bench?
Nobody.
That's right. Nobody.
Do you know who I am?
Dega?
Dega!
Dega.
Dega!
Louis.
Louis.
I wish you hadn't come here.
Are you fond of crayfish?
Good.
You really think so?
Best I've had in years.
Did you hear about my wife?
She married my attorney,
or else he married her...
...although actually,
it doesn't really matter.
I mean, it all works out to the same thing,
don't you think?
Well, I have not heard from her in about--
It is nice here, isn't it?
You've made it nice, Louis.
Really nice.
It's funny...
...you and me ending up here.
We're the only ones left.
Do you ever wonder about it?
No.
I do.
Get away!
Get away! Get away!
That's enough!
They come in, steal from my garden.
Who does?
Maybe I'd better go.
Yes.
I know your house. There's no ghost in it.
My thoughts are with you.
Jesus!
Louis!
Come look. Remember those seeds
that Sergeant Santini gave me last month?
They've come up.
We'll have carrots.
It said six weeks on the packet
but it's only taken four.
If I could find a way to get off this island,
