Tabernas (Turillas, Iglesia Santa Maria)
SCENE
Indio's first call is at a derelict church, home
to the man who had informed on him and shot him in the back.
Indio's revenge is to have his wife and child murdered and
to contrive a gun fight with the man who put him in jail. A musical
pocket watch is produced - the duel is to start when the music stops.
After the killing, Indio composes himself with a comforting
"smoke."
