HONOR THY FATHER

As it turns out, Tessa's betrayal of the shaman did not save Raoul after all. He's been captured and is currently occupied with the burning questions of : Where did you get these ten royals? What is a nasty deserter like yourself doing in a nice jail like this? And the ever-popular, "How would you like a nose like Senorita Tessa's?"

And what have we here?
Colonel Montoya has a secret compartment containing a certain stolen burial mask... behind the bookcase in his office. He retrieves a small chest with a beautiful necklace, which... ...he offers to Senora Hidalgo in the lovely setting of his rose garden.

"And what would I be doing to gain such favor with the Colonel?" Vera bats her baby blues suggestively. "Ah, no, Senora. Nothing tawdry."
(For tawdry, you would be paying me, Senora.) He bats his even bluers and explains he wants Vera to do some creative listening for him. Cut to night at the jail and the mournful chanting of the shaman, which is driving Raoul, his jail mate, crazy.

Shut up! Raoul complains. The shaman pauses a moment,
summons the spirit of the wind, or, in this case, the dust, and then goes back to chanting.

Come morning, a Queen with a bad habit, to the rescue. By means of a well-applied, and very heavy, bible, Tessa frees Raoul and the shaman and jumps Grisham (and the camera man) on the way out of town.
