I need this man's life

— Preciso da vida desse homem, eu a tenho! Seria uma loucura deixá-la escapar, e pôr a minha em risco. Um duelo neste deserto, sem testemunhas, é um combate em que a vitória pertence ao mais esperto.

The setting

I need this man's life, and I have it! It would be madness to let it slip away and put mine at risk. A duel in this wilderness, without witnesses, is a combat in which victory belongs to the cleverest.
