Prompted by Pilar, the guerrillas concur that Pablo is a danger
and should be killed. Jordan agrees to shoot him. A tense scene ensues
when Pablo suddenly reenters the cave. The planned assassination is
about to take place when Jordan realizes that he can\'t shoot inside
the cave- the dynamite is stored there.
But Pablo now shows a complete personality change. He maintains he\'s
no longer drunk and says he wants to be involved in the demolition
of the bridge. He even openly admits that he knows they have thought
of killing him but stresses that only he can lead them to safety in
the Gredos Range.
Pilar attributes the change in Pablo to his having overheard the
plans to kill him.
Do you recall Jordan\'s suspicions about Pablo at the end of
Chapter 1? Agustin\'s anger at the guerrillas for not killing Pablo
suggests that Pablo may still be a threat to them.
