I took more than three centuries. 281 00:37:56,917 --> 00:37:59,829 A nation, which originated from Portugal 282 00:37:59,829 --> 00:38:02,405 but now is not a part of Portugal anymore. 283 00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:05,791 And that no longer wants to be a Portuguese colony. 284 00:38:05,791 --> 00:38:10,617 That's all quite correct, my dear Teddy. We all agree on the idealistic motives. 285 00:38:10,617 --> 00:38:16,852 But it's the example of the whore that that doesn't convince me as yet, Mr. Walker. 286 00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:22,064 What will happen if once the Negro ceases to be a slave, 287 00:38:22,064 --> 00:38:27,040 and instead of wanting to be a worker, wants to be the boss? 288 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,121 That's exactly what will happen if we go on arguing about it. 289 00:38:30,121 --> 00:38:35,462 Four months ago, Josi Dolores was on the Sierra Madre with a few dozen men. 290 00:38:35,462 --> 00:38:38,808 Then he reached Sierra Trinidad with 400 or 500. 291 00:38:38,808 --> 00:38:41,886 Now there are thousands 292 00:38:41,886 --> 00:38:47,586 spreading through the lowlands. It is my view that if... 293 00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:52,726 if you don't take immediate action, if you don't weave yourselves into this revolt, 294 00:38:52,726 --> 00:38:55,469 you'll be swept away. 295 00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:59,310 Then your ex-slaves, instead of becoming your workers... 296 00:38:59,310 --> 00:39:02,302 will not become your bosses, Mr. Prada... 297 00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:05,019 but your executioners. 298 00:39:06,030 --> 00:39:09,206 Now, what are my interests in the matter?

Therefore, it's less important. 790 01:44:42,190 --> 01:44:44,390 I'm also not sure just why I do what I'm doing. 791 01:44:44,390 --> 01:44:49,066 Perhaps it's only for the pleasure of it. Or perhaps I'm unable to do anything else. 792 01:44:51,390 --> 01:44:55,429 Perhaps I've nothing else to do, but I do know that whenever I try to do something... 793 01:44:56,550 --> 01:44:58,825 I try to do it well. 794 01:45:01,190 --> 01:45:04,882 And to see it clearly and through to the end. 795 01:45:05,670 --> 01:45:07,388 Do you understand? 796 01:47:01,710 --> 01:47:03,268 Bugler! 797 01:47:29,110 --> 01:47:30,941 Bugler's here, Sir William. 798 01:47:41,470 --> 01:47:45,246 Bugler, sound your cease-fire. 799 01:48:01,238 --> 01:48:02,906 There, that's Josi Dolores. 800 01:48:02,906 --> 01:48:06,026 At the bottom where the soldiers are running. 801 01:48:06,026 --> 01:48:11,367 - Do you see him?. - Yes. - A fine specimen, isn't he? 802 01:48:11,367 --> 01:48:16,123 You know, it's an exemplary story.

And when he rebels again... 806 01:48:26,907 --> 01:48:33,160 more or less in the name of those same ideals which England's taught him... 807 01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:36,561 England decides to eliminate him. 808 01:48:40,761 --> 01:48:43,500 Don't you think that's a small masterpiece? 809 01:48:44,430 --> 01:48:48,981 - And you're the author, Sir William. - No, only the instrument. 810 01:48:56,910 --> 01:49:00,107 No, it is not true that fire destroys everything. 811 01:49:00,430 --> 01:49:02,739 A little life always remains. 812 01:49:03,070 --> 01:49:06,062 Just an ant, a blade of grass... 813 01:49:07,270 --> 01:49:09,909 So how come the white invaders win? 814 01:49:11,350 --> 01:49:13,236 How come they win in the end? 815 01:49:13,236 --> 01:49:16,145 Someone of us will always remain. 816 01:49:16,145 --> 01:49:23,543 Still others will be born later.

It wasn't I that invented this war. 842 01:54:40,952 --> 01:54:44,244 And furthermore, in this case, I didn't even start it. 843 01:54:44,444 --> 01:54:47,927 I arrived here and you were already butchering one another 844 01:57:02,630 --> 01:57:06,390 Thank you. But, anyway, sooner or later, they are going to kill me. 845 01:57:06,390 --> 01:57:09,860 Maybe not, General. Maybe they will let you live. 846 01:57:12,390 --> 01:57:16,110 If they let me live it means it is convenient for them. 847 01:57:16,110 --> 01:57:20,510 And if it's convenient for them, it is convenient for me to die. 848 01:57:20,510 --> 01:57:21,579 Why? 849 01:57:22,830 --> 01:57:25,190 Because the hunter lets the hawk live... 850 01:57:25,190 --> 01:57:26,950 only when he wants a decoy 851 01:57:26,950 --> 01:57:30,909 or to hunt in his place. He's kept alive, but in a cage. 852 01:57:30,990 --> 01:57:35,447 But then, after a while, maybe they will free you. 853 01:57:35,647 --> 01:57:39,181 No, little soldier. It doesn't work like that. 854 01:57:39,381 --> 01:57:43,352 If a man gives you freedom, it is not freedom. 855 01:57:43,552 --> 01:57:45,618 Freedom is something you... 856 01:57:45,818 --> 01:57:49,252 you alone, must take. Do you understand? 857 01:57:49,452 --> 01:57:54,874 Well, you will one day, because you've already started to think about it. 858 01:58:07,890 --> 01:58:11,121 Well, all that remains now is to settle what to do with him. 859 01:58:12,730 --> 01:58:14,482 Well, let's see... 860 01:58:14,690 --> 01:58:18,570 we certainly can't use the garote. It's too reminiscent of Portugal. 861 01:58:18,570 --> 01:58:22,770 Either we shoot him, as we did Teddy Sanchez... 862 01:58:22,770 --> 01:58:26,809 or we hang him as you do in England. 863 01:58:29,210 --> 01:58:33,597 All things considered, hanging is better. It's more solemn. 864 01:58:33,797 --> 01:58:36,030 - More definite. - Right. 865 01:58:36,230 --> 01:58:37,862 Right. 866 01:58:38,690 --> 01:58:43,270 But you see the man that fights for an idea is a hero. 867 01:58:43,890 --> 01:58:48,763 And a hero who is killed becomes a martyr... 868 01:58:48,963 --> 01:58:50,665 and a martyr immediately becomes a myth. 869 01:58:50,865 --> 01:58:55,661 A myth is more dangerous than a man because you can't kill a myth. 870 01:58:55,861 --> 01:58:58,919 Don't you agree, Shelton? 871 01:58:59,119 --> 01:59:02,063 I mean, think of his ghost running through the Antilles. 872 01:59:02,263 --> 01:59:05,916 Think of the legends and the songs. 873 01:59:06,116 --> 01:59:10,679 - Better songs than armies. - Better silence than songs. 874 01:59:10,879 --> 01:59:12,482 And that is? 875 01:59:15,582 --> 01:59:17,750 A hero that betrays is soon forgotten. 876 01:59:17,750 --> 01:59:20,270 Well, we'll have to see if he's willing to betray. 877 01:59:20,270 --> 01:59:24,990 Well, now let's see, against whom did Josi Dolores rebel? 878 01:59:25,190 --> 01:59:26,510 Against Teddy Sanchez. 879 01:59:26,510 --> 01:59:30,025 And you, General, have eliminated Teddy Sanchez. 880 01:59:30,630 --> 01:59:33,830 Now that... I think that gives you a position in common. 881 01:59:33,830 --> 01:59:38,430 See, there's the beginning of a rationale which I think Josi Dolores... 882 01:59:38,430 --> 01:59:40,030 could make public without too much shame. 883 01:59:40,030 --> 01:59:44,486 - Do you think he will do it? - Would you do it in his place? 884 01:59:44,686 --> 01:59:48,712 Me? For God's sake, Sir William. I would do anything to stay alive. 885 01:59:48,912 --> 01:59:50,901 But, Josi Dolores... 886 01:59:51,101 --> 01:59:54,256 You can't tell what a man will do to stay alive. 887 01:59:54,470 --> 01:59:59,353 Until you put him to the test, you'll really never know. 888 01:59:59,553 --> 02:00:02,743 Yes, as long as he leaves Queimada. 889 02:00:02,943 --> 02:00:04,998 And the Antilles, General. 890 02:00:05,198 --> 02:00:07,865 And the Antilles, Mr. Shelton. 891 02:00:08,065 --> 02:00:10,979 Will you see to it? 892 02:00:11,179 --> 02:00:14,652 I finished, General.
