But the guy, I mean, kettle drum guy, he's still very much on the scene, isn't he?

He is, but he's lost momentum too.

A lot of his men desert.

They think the Spanish can't be beaten.

He's taken refuge in the mountains outside Quito.

And at last, a conquistador called Miguel de la Chica gets a tip off that Rumunyawi is resting by a mountain lake.

Quote, when I reached the lake, the Lord Rumunyawi was beside a small hillock leaning against a tree.

I closed with him and after struggling for a very long time, I captured him.

And so Rumiñahui is taken under guard back to Quito, where Sebastián de Belalcázar is in charge of interrogating him.

Whether he's got his drum with him, I do not know.

Does he have any gold?

No.

Hasn't got a drum?

Hasn't got gold?

What's the point of him?

I'd like to think he's still got his drum.

But surely they allow him to keep... Because Atahualpa was allowed to keep the severed head of that bloke to use as a teapot or whatever.

So surely this guy is allowed to keep his human drum.

Anyway, they torture him.

They burn him again.
