THIS STORY IS INSPIRED
BY REAL EVENTS
2
00:00:25,417 --> 00:00:28,042
SOME CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS
HAVE BEEN FICTIONALIZED
3
00:00:28,625 --> 00:00:31,292
IN MEMORY OF PEDRO COSTA
4
00:01:06,417 --> 00:01:09,875
The first time I heard of Baler,
I was 20.
5
00:01:11,542 --> 00:01:14,125
I was told it was a Tagalog town,
6
00:01:14,292 --> 00:01:15,750
north of Manila,
7
00:01:16,875 --> 00:01:20,667
an accursed place
surrounded by sea and jungle,
8
00:01:21,208 --> 00:01:24,583
inhabited by bloodthirsty rebels
who hated Spain.
9
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:31,083
One night,
10
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:33,958
in October 1897,
11
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:39,083
a detachment defending the town
was massacred without mercy.
12
00:01:49,417 --> 00:01:50,792
There was terror,"...
13
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,667
Lieutenant!
14
00:01:54,958 --> 00:01:56,417
Despair,
15
00:01:59,208 --> 00:02:00,250
chaos...
16
00:02:11,708 --> 00:02:13,417
It was shameful.
17
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:19,417
Of fifty soldiers,
only thirteen survived.
18
00:02:27,042 --> 00:02:29,250
They fought for their freedom,
19
00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:33,708
we fought for
the survival of an empire.
20
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,333
And we lost.
21
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,375
Three months later,
I was sent with the next group.
22
00:03:40,167 --> 00:03:42,750
Our mission was to recover
this accursed town,
23
00:03:43,792 --> 00:03:45,458
and the grandeur of Spain.
24
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:49,042
I didn't know it yet,
25
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:52,625
but we were destined to be
the last defenders of the Empire,
26
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,292
the last ones on the Philippines.
27
00:03:57,458 --> 00:04:02,250
1998, OUR LAST MEN IN THE PHILIPPINES
28
00:04:28,583 --> 00:04:30,292
I'd never been in a war...
29
00:04:31,625 --> 00:04:33,125
and I thought that, to survive,
30
00:04:33,292 --> 00:04:35,875
I just needed a little luck
31
00:04:36,042 --> 00:04:37,500
and common SENSE.
32
00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:42,667
I was young.
33
00:04:45,458 --> 00:04:47,500
I was naive.
34
00:05:03,042 --> 00:05:05,375
- You can't see anyone.
- Lt's what they do best:
35
00:05:05,542 --> 00:05:07,708
hide, kill, hide...
36
00:05:07,875 --> 00:05:10,875
That'll do, "Ron",
you'll get a belly ache.
37
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:13,625
Keep your eyes peeled.
38
00:05:16,875 --> 00:05:20,167
Away all boats, arms ready!
39
00:05:20,333 --> 00:05:22,208
Let's go, men!
40
00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:24,958
- Away all boats!
- Come on, hurry up!
41
00:05:25,208 --> 00:05:27,042
God help us.
42
00:05:27,208 --> 00:05:30,208
- Come on, go!
- How did I get into this? Damn it!
43
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:37,458
Lieutenant, there's a man
on the shore!
44
00:06:16,083 --> 00:06:18,167
Lieutenant Martin Cerezo,
2nd Ranger Battalion.
45
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:20,875
Brother Carmelo,
I look after the parish.
46
00:06:21,042 --> 00:06:22,458
Do you command these men?
47
00:06:22,917 --> 00:06:24,792
That's Captain Las Morenas.
He's coming.
48
00:06:24,958 --> 00:06:27,542
- Have you come from Manila?
- Yes, Father.
49
00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:29,208
To recover the town.
50
00:06:29,375 --> 00:06:32,208
- Where's the best access?
- An hour upriver.
51
00:06:32,375 --> 00:06:33,917
The rebels left two weeks ago...
52
00:06:34,083 --> 00:06:35,125
Fix bayonets!
53
00:06:36,208 --> 00:06:38,708
The remaining natives are peaceful.
54
00:06:38,875 --> 00:06:40,542
Let me be the judge of that.
55
00:06:42,083 --> 00:06:44,917
We advance in two columns.
Carvajal, on point.
56
00:06:45,792 --> 00:06:47,708
Everyone on the alert. Move!
57
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:49,792
Unfurl the flag and come with me.
58
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:17,917
Luis, take five men
and check the church.
59
00:09:18,083 --> 00:09:19,167
On me!
60
00:09:19,667 --> 00:09:21,625
How thick are these walls?
61
00:09:21,792 --> 00:09:23,958
Almost five feet.
62
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:26,958
Five feet can take the impact
of heavy artillery.
63
00:09:27,125 --> 00:09:30,458
Apart from the sacristy,
what else can we use for storage?
64
00:09:37,875 --> 00:09:39,458
Sergeant Jimeno Costa.
65
00:09:41,833 --> 00:09:44,292
I'm a survivor
of the previous detachment.
66
00:09:45,625 --> 00:09:48,625
At your orders, Lieutenant.
67
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:52,208
I've been waiting for you for weeks.
68
00:09:52,375 --> 00:09:55,500
Regulations say you should've gone
with your men to Manila.
69
00:09:59,917 --> 00:10:02,375
The first duty of a soldier,
Lieutenant,
70
00:10:03,417 --> 00:10:06,458
- is to defend Spain.
- You didn't do that too well.
71
00:10:06,625 --> 00:10:10,333
I didn't surrender, God knows
I fought until I had no strength left.
72
00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:15,292
Isn't this enough for you,
or this?
73
00:10:22,542 --> 00:10:24,458
If the Tagalog come down again,
74
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,542
you're going to need me.
75
00:10:28,042 --> 00:10:29,500
I know what's going on here.
76
00:10:29,667 --> 00:10:31,333
Why didn't you take down that flag?
77
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,875
They cut ours to pieces.
78
00:10:34,917 --> 00:10:37,083
And the townspeople want this one.
79
00:10:37,833 --> 00:10:38,875
Jose.
80
00:10:43,292 --> 00:10:45,417
Hoist it.
81
00:11:04,750 --> 00:11:06,958
Keeping it as a souvenir?
82
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:10,583
Be careful of the women
in the town, Lieutenant.
83
00:11:10,750 --> 00:11:12,833
They all spy for the enemy.
84
00:11:14,333 --> 00:11:16,458
- What's your name?
- Teresa.
85
00:11:16,625 --> 00:11:19,875
She's a whore,
her brother fights with the rebels.
86
00:11:20,042 --> 00:11:22,667
What my brother does
is his business.
87
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:25,917
I've got nothing against Spain.
88
00:11:27,292 --> 00:11:28,917
I'm baptized
89
00:11:29,083 --> 00:11:31,750
and I sing in the church choir.
90
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:34,917
What do you sing?
Christmas carols?
91
00:11:38,417 --> 00:11:39,958
Love songs.
92
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,375
Whatever you like.
93
00:11:44,292 --> 00:11:45,792
What songs do you know?
94
00:11:47,083 --> 00:11:49,958
Spanish, Filipino...
95
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:51,833
Sing one.
96
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
- I sing when I get paid.
- Like all whores.
97
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:22,125
I will tell you...
98
00:12:26,417 --> 00:12:27,417
Go on.
99
00:12:28,083 --> 00:12:29,917
That's all you paid for.
100
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:32,667
Welcome to Baler...
101
00:12:34,458 --> 00:12:35,667
sir.
102
00:12:48,917 --> 00:12:51,625
The rebels belong
to a Masonic organization,
103
00:12:51,792 --> 00:12:55,917
the Katipunan, that seeks
an independent Philippines.
104
00:12:56,083 --> 00:12:58,875
They don't care that Spain
has been here for 400 years,
105
00:12:59,042 --> 00:13:02,417
that we've built its cities.
They want us out, and dead.
106
00:13:03,292 --> 00:13:05,500
The Tagalog are tough,
107
00:13:05,792 --> 00:13:08,542
they're very violent,
and they have great allies:
108
00:13:09,917 --> 00:13:12,333
the heat, malaria,
109
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:16,250
typhoons and beasts.
110
00:13:19,417 --> 00:13:23,000
You're very young, very green,
111
00:13:24,167 --> 00:13:25,250
and inept
112
00:13:27,208 --> 00:13:29,750
If you want to survive,
113
00:13:30,792 --> 00:13:32,583
you'll have to learn fast.
114
00:13:34,542 --> 00:13:37,917
Whoever doesn't,
God have mercy on him.
115
00:14:00,125 --> 00:14:01,167
We'll survive.
116
00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:04,833
This little Virgin is lucky.
117
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,542
Lucky for everyone, or just you?
118
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:10,917
If you want to trust in the Virgin,
it's up to you,
119
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:13,667
but the men butchered here
had crucifixes too.
120
00:14:14,375 --> 00:14:16,000
They died for Spain.
121
00:14:16,167 --> 00:14:19,708
For Spain...
What's Spain done for you?
122
00:14:21,458 --> 00:14:22,917
I'm not here by choice.
123
00:14:23,083 --> 00:14:26,792
When why the hell
are you here, Juan?
124
00:14:59,625 --> 00:15:01,250
Aim!
125
00:15:02,458 --> 00:15:03,458
Fire!
126
00:15:04,083 --> 00:15:05,625
Ready!
127
00:15:05,958 --> 00:15:06,958
Fire!
128
00:15:08,417 --> 00:15:11,542
- Cease fire. Weapons down.
- Are they really this bad?
129
00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:13,542
It's the first time
they've fired a gun.
130
00:15:14,583 --> 00:15:16,250
My God.
131
00:15:16,417 --> 00:15:18,417
You've said it my captain,
they'll have to learn.
132
00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:20,542
I don't know if they'll have time.
133
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:22,625
Then we'll need to dig
a lot of graves.
134
00:15:22,792 --> 00:15:25,375
I'm not making my wife a widow.
135
00:15:25,542 --> 00:15:26,375
Aim!
136
00:15:26,542 --> 00:15:28,208
I know yours died recently.
137
00:15:28,375 --> 00:15:29,417
Fire!
138
00:15:29,583 --> 00:15:33,167
I lost my daughter too.
Three days old. Tuberculosis.
139
00:15:33,333 --> 00:15:35,750
- My condolences.
- Fire!
140
00:15:35,917 --> 00:15:37,750
Why didn't you stay in Spain?
141
00:15:39,583 --> 00:15:42,083
It's the last place I wanted to be.
142
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:43,833
Fire!
143
00:15:44,792 --> 00:15:46,667
You didn't come to sacrifice yourself?
144
00:15:48,875 --> 00:15:51,833
Look, Lieutenant, in war
there are two types of soldier:
145
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,417
those who want medals
and those who want to get home.
146
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:57,125
Given the choice,
I'd prefer the former.
147
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:01,333
They're the most dangerous.
148
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,417
Put your heart into it!
149
00:16:06,167 --> 00:16:09,333
A circle around me! Let's go!
150
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:11,917
- In a circle!
- Keep your distance!
151
00:16:23,042 --> 00:16:25,250
They didn't even get your
boot size right, eh?
152
00:16:27,625 --> 00:16:30,417
They send you here
without knowing how to shoot,
153
00:16:30,583 --> 00:16:33,917
- with boots the wrong size...
- I’ll adapt, Lieutenant.
154
00:16:34,083 --> 00:16:35,542
Is your morale that high?
155
00:16:36,583 --> 00:16:39,542
If I get back from the war
with an exemplary conduct letter,
156
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:41,833
I can study at
the Royal Academy.
157
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,125
- Study what?
- Painting, Lieutenant.
158
00:16:44,292 --> 00:16:47,625
I want to be a painter.
Don Gabriel says I'm good.
159
00:16:47,792 --> 00:16:50,167
- Who's Don Gabriel?
- The mayor of my hometown.
160
00:16:50,333 --> 00:16:53,875
He promised to pay for my studies
if I make it back with that letter.
161
00:16:54,042 --> 00:16:56,542
He should've paid
the 2,000 pesetas
162
00:16:56,708 --> 00:16:59,458
- to get you out of the Army.
- Don Gabriel is a patriot.
163
00:16:59,625 --> 00:17:02,667
- He says that Spain needs...
- Spain is full of patriots like him.
164
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:05,792
They send off other men
while they stuff themselves.
165
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:10,375
The aim is restore
166
00:17:10,542 --> 00:17:13,708
the original tone and brightness
167
00:17:13,875 --> 00:17:16,208
and emphasize their contour.
168
00:17:18,792 --> 00:17:19,833
Look.
169
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:23,333
You see?
170
00:17:25,125 --> 00:17:29,000
- And you want me to do it?
- Well, I saw your drawings.
171
00:17:29,167 --> 00:17:31,687
And the lieutenant tells me
you want to devote yourself to this.
172
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:32,958
It's an opportunity.
173
00:17:33,125 --> 00:17:36,583
I don't know, Father, I haven't
had much practice with brushes.
174
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,875
- I don't want to desecrate...
- Desecrate?
175
00:17:39,542 --> 00:17:42,542
I've been a missionary
around the world for 20 years.
176
00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:45,458
If I only did
what the seminary taught, I'd be dead.
177
00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:48,833
Son,
178
00:17:49,875 --> 00:17:54,042
the natives like to be told stories.
179
00:17:54,208 --> 00:17:55,375
I'm just asking you
180
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:58,667
to make them more attractive.
181
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:02,042
And I needn't tell you
that while you're on this job
182
00:18:02,208 --> 00:18:04,750
you'll be off guard duty
or anything else.
183
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:09,167
Where God is in charge,
no captain is.
184
00:18:10,417 --> 00:18:12,375
Rifles up close!
185
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:15,292
Present... arms!
186
00:18:16,542 --> 00:18:19,167
Order... arms!
187
00:18:20,208 --> 00:18:22,083
Head up! With pride!
188
00:18:27,042 --> 00:18:29,000
Who taught you to paint like that?
189
00:18:29,167 --> 00:18:32,125
I learnt with limestone and clay.
While Grandpa herded,
190
00:18:32,292 --> 00:18:35,292
I'd amuse myself by drawing.
191
00:18:35,458 --> 00:18:36,750
Where are you from?
192
00:18:38,042 --> 00:18:41,208
Fuenlabrada de Los Montes,
in Extremadura.
193
00:18:43,125 --> 00:18:46,375
Son, I think you were born
in the wrong place.
194
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:20,000
Crocodiles.
195
00:19:20,167 --> 00:19:21,167
Sergeant.
196
00:19:24,083 --> 00:19:26,583
Sometimes they get dogs, cats,
197
00:19:27,125 --> 00:19:29,208
whatever they can find.
198
00:19:30,292 --> 00:19:32,958
I wish they'd eat the captain's dog.
199
00:19:35,042 --> 00:19:37,917
How the hell can you
come to war with a dog?
200
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,583
Don't you ever rest?
201
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:50,042
No. They've captured me once before.
202
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:52,292
It's not going to happen again.
203
00:19:54,208 --> 00:19:55,833
Is this your first war?
204
00:19:58,125 --> 00:20:00,708
Watch out it doesn't become a vice.
205
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:03,542
What?
206
00:20:04,458 --> 00:20:05,500
Killing.
207
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:13,000
Hold still!
208
00:20:14,708 --> 00:20:15,708
Hold still!
209
00:20:16,833 --> 00:20:19,833
We caught her heading for
the hills with food.
210
00:20:22,792 --> 00:20:23,792
Let her go.
211
00:20:26,208 --> 00:20:27,208
Sergeant...
212
00:20:27,375 --> 00:20:29,125
What do you think?
213
00:20:29,292 --> 00:20:31,417
What the hell do you think?
214
00:20:32,125 --> 00:20:34,458
She only hauls food?
215
00:20:34,625 --> 00:20:36,042
This bitch knows where you sleep,
216
00:20:36,208 --> 00:20:39,417
what you eat, what you shit!
217
00:20:39,583 --> 00:20:43,083
She want to fuck us up
and nobody's doing that to me!
218
00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:05,583
It's for your brother.
219
00:21:06,542 --> 00:21:10,083
It's just food, I have nothing
to do with this war.
220
00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:11,875
You do now.
221
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:14,500
Go on, go.
222
00:21:14,667 --> 00:21:15,792
- Sergeant...
- Lieutenant!
223
00:21:15,958 --> 00:21:17,083
Let her go.
224
00:21:21,958 --> 00:21:23,708
If you want to
join your people, do it.
225
00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:28,083
But give your brother a message:
226
00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:31,542
If they come back to Baler,
we'll be waiting,
227
00:21:32,375 --> 00:21:34,500
and this time
there'll be no surrender.
228
00:21:48,667 --> 00:21:50,750
It's a mistake to let her go.
229
00:21:51,083 --> 00:21:52,708
It's a sign of weakness.
230
00:21:52,958 --> 00:21:55,333
Do you know what is
a sign of weakness?
231
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:58,833
Killing women.
232
00:22:07,167 --> 00:22:08,250
Halt!
233
00:22:11,042 --> 00:22:12,125
- Don't shoot!
- Halt!
234
00:22:12,292 --> 00:22:14,875
- It's Spanish mail!
- Keep a lookout!
235
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:16,958
Help me, help me.
236
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,417
He's in bad shape.
237
00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:25,542
The Americans declared war on us.
238
00:22:25,708 --> 00:22:26,750
What?
239
00:22:27,792 --> 00:22:29,917
They're accusing us of sinking
some ship in Havana.
240
00:22:30,083 --> 00:22:32,917
Their fleet has destroyed
the Spanish fleet in Cavite.
241
00:22:33,083 --> 00:22:34,500
What about Manila?
242
00:22:34,667 --> 00:22:35,792
Under siege.
243
00:22:40,167 --> 00:22:42,292
Did you cross the Sierra Madre?
244
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,458
The Tagalog...
245
00:22:44,625 --> 00:22:46,958
The Tagalog attacked you?
How many were there?
246
00:22:48,417 --> 00:22:50,042
- 50.
- How many did you see?
247
00:22:51,167 --> 00:22:53,167
Out! Everyone out, please!
248
00:22:54,542 --> 00:22:56,125
Hold him. Lift him up.
249
00:23:18,042 --> 00:23:20,500
Gentlemen, Manila HQ
250
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:22,625
will not be able to send us supplies.
251
00:23:23,708 --> 00:23:26,375
That cuts us off
from the rest of the country.
252
00:23:26,542 --> 00:23:29,875
From now on
we rely on ourselves.
253
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:32,750
The rebels are up there waiting for
the right time to come down.
254
00:23:33,333 --> 00:23:35,000
There are fifty of us
255
00:23:35,167 --> 00:23:37,917
and they could number
a hundred, two hundred,
256
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,208
even a thousand.
257
00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:41,875
To avoid any surprises,
I've made a decision.
258
00:23:42,917 --> 00:23:45,458
We'll turn the church into a fortress
259
00:23:45,625 --> 00:23:48,500
and take refuge inside.
260
00:23:48,917 --> 00:23:51,917
We'll confiscate animals for reserves
in the event of a siege.
261
00:23:52,083 --> 00:23:54,500
Bermúdez, occupy the corral.
Eduardo, take three men
262
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:56,958
and search that cabin.
The rest of you, on me.
263
00:23:57,125 --> 00:24:00,458
Someone told them
to leave here, Sergeant.
264
00:24:00,625 --> 00:24:03,292
We'll use the church courtyard
as a garden
265
00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:06,292
and we'll dig a well
for fresh water.
266
00:24:09,542 --> 00:24:12,167
The sacristy
will be our infirmary...
267
00:24:14,375 --> 00:24:16,250
and the basement our storeroom.
268
00:24:21,542 --> 00:24:22,917
The last one?
269
00:24:24,792 --> 00:24:28,500
We'll raise the Spanish flag
high on the bell tower.
270
00:24:32,833 --> 00:24:36,833
Gentlemen, we can't tell you
what's happening in Manila,
271
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,500
San Juan or Havana,
272
00:24:39,667 --> 00:24:42,208
but I can tell you
what we're going to do here.
273
00:24:43,792 --> 00:24:46,000
- We're going to fight.
- Hurrah for Spain!
274
00:24:46,167 --> 00:24:47,542
Hurrah!
275
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:05,333
JUNE 30, 1898
276
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:42,542
Who goes there?!
277
00:25:45,583 --> 00:25:46,833
Who goes there?!
278
00:25:56,542 --> 00:26:00,250
The Tagalog are attacking!
They're attacking!
279
00:26:00,417 --> 00:26:01,500
Fire!
280
00:26:03,292 --> 00:26:04,458
Come out!
281
00:26:04,625 --> 00:26:06,458
Go, quickly!
282
00:26:06,625 --> 00:26:09,458
To the trench!
Keep them back from the church!
283
00:26:09,625 --> 00:26:11,125
Vigil, take the courtyard.
284
00:26:11,292 --> 00:26:14,542
Carvajal, take your two best shots
up to the choir level.
285
00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:17,167
- Positions at the windows. Go!
- Yes, sir.
286
00:26:17,333 --> 00:26:19,208
Everyone to the trenches!
287
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:21,250
Quickly!
288
00:26:24,167 --> 00:26:26,792
Go, fire! Fire!
289
00:26:27,583 --> 00:26:31,167
Fire at will!
Everyone in position!
290
00:26:31,333 --> 00:26:32,333
Go!
291
00:26:33,583 --> 00:26:36,542
To the trench! Take cover!
292
00:26:37,792 --> 00:26:40,000
Go, go, go!
293
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Fire!
294
00:26:55,542 --> 00:26:56,542
Fire!
295
00:26:58,333 --> 00:27:00,083
Don't let them get close!
296
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:07,708
Andrés.
297
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,667
Good God... Fire at will!
298
00:27:23,958 --> 00:27:25,417
Fix bayonets!!
299
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:31,375
Keep firing!
300
00:27:41,792 --> 00:27:44,042
Get up! Fuck!
301
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,667
Lieutenant!
Fall back from the trench!
302
00:28:04,083 --> 00:28:06,208
- Captain...
- Sound retreat!
303
00:28:08,250 --> 00:28:10,208
Jimeno! Fall back!
304
00:28:11,417 --> 00:28:14,708
Back! Fall back!
305
00:28:15,625 --> 00:28:17,125
Cease fire! Retreat!
306
00:28:19,083 --> 00:28:20,125
Retreat?
307
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:23,250
You don't win wars that way.
308
00:28:23,417 --> 00:28:24,958
Go!
309
00:28:33,417 --> 00:28:35,875
They're here!
310
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,667
Up! Let's go!
311
00:28:42,208 --> 00:28:45,292
Let's
312
00:29:49,917 --> 00:29:52,417
They outnumbered us, Carlos.
There were thousands of them.
313
00:29:52,583 --> 00:29:53,833
That's not true.
314
00:29:55,167 --> 00:29:56,708
It isn't?
315
00:29:56,875 --> 00:29:58,708
There weren't thousands,
don't exaggerate.
316
00:29:59,792 --> 00:30:01,750
Where the hell were you?
317
00:30:01,917 --> 00:30:03,458
Fighting, just like you.
318
00:30:03,958 --> 00:30:05,708
Are you calling me a liar?
319
00:30:06,833 --> 00:30:08,417
Are you calling me a liar?
320
00:30:08,583 --> 00:30:09,792
Soldiers!
321
00:30:09,958 --> 00:30:11,042
What are you doing?
322
00:30:12,792 --> 00:30:13,792
Right...
323
00:30:13,958 --> 00:30:15,458
Can you follow this finger?
324
00:30:17,333 --> 00:30:19,958
You were up top.
Tell him how many there were.
325
00:30:21,458 --> 00:30:25,125
Thousands, coming from
everywhere, like cockroaches.
326
00:30:27,042 --> 00:30:29,625
That's not the worst thing.
The worst thing is that we're alone.
327
00:30:29,792 --> 00:30:31,833
Manila's not sending anyone.
328
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,167
We've got the food and ammo
to hold on.
329
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:38,708
We're fifty scared shitless men
in a church.
330
00:30:38,875 --> 00:30:40,083
Scared shitless?
331
00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:45,292
One battle and you're already
bawling like little girls?
332
00:30:45,458 --> 00:30:46,458
Captain!
333
00:30:47,917 --> 00:30:49,167
Captain!
334
00:30:50,042 --> 00:30:51,667
Go ahead.
335
00:30:51,833 --> 00:30:53,417
They're sending an emissary.
336
00:31:00,167 --> 00:31:02,625
Lieutenant, see what they want.
337
00:31:07,042 --> 00:31:09,167
Moisés, your Mauser.
338
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,167
Carvajal, upstairs.
You come with me.
339
00:31:56,167 --> 00:31:59,750
Calixto Villacorta,
for Commander Luna Novicio,
340
00:31:59,917 --> 00:32:02,833
head of the Filipino forces
in the Katipunan region.
341
00:32:03,958 --> 00:32:06,458
Lieutenant Martin Cerezo,
2nd Ranger Battalion.
342
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,500
My commander
wants no more bloodshed.
343
00:32:10,375 --> 00:32:12,542
Spanish troops are losing everywhere.
344
00:32:12,708 --> 00:32:16,708
Tell him to hand in his arms
and accept Spanish jurisdiction.
345
00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:19,625
You're losing the war.
346
00:32:19,792 --> 00:32:22,875
I see more of your dead
than I do mine.
347
00:32:30,208 --> 00:32:32,250
I should speak to your superior.
348
00:32:35,667 --> 00:32:37,417
There's nothing to say.
349
00:32:41,708 --> 00:32:43,750
We'll grant you
a truce until tomorrow.
350
00:32:45,250 --> 00:32:47,542
Each side can bury their own.
351
00:33:04,750 --> 00:33:06,458
See to the dead.
352
00:33:16,042 --> 00:33:17,458
Well?
353
00:33:17,625 --> 00:33:19,500
They want us to lay down our arms.
354
00:33:20,917 --> 00:33:22,542
There was no offer?
355
00:33:24,583 --> 00:33:27,625
We're in no condition
to receive offers, Captain.
356
00:33:53,250 --> 00:33:55,708
Don't look too hard,
we'll all end up like this.
357
00:33:56,583 --> 00:33:57,833
Shut up.
358
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:03,917
Juan, help me.
359
00:34:32,167 --> 00:34:34,208
Leave him, I'll do it.
360
00:34:35,625 --> 00:34:36,708
Hold tight.
361
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:48,750
He's gone putrid!
We have to pull him out.
362
00:34:49,792 --> 00:34:51,958
Shouldn't we just
cover him with earth?
363
00:34:52,125 --> 00:34:54,125
- Would you want to be left here?
- Let's go!
364
00:35:12,792 --> 00:35:13,875
Juan!
365
00:35:15,542 --> 00:35:17,708
Give me a hand.
366
00:35:20,875 --> 00:35:22,000
Juan...
367
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:39,750
What the hell's he doing?
368
00:35:40,667 --> 00:35:43,000
He's deserting.
369
00:35:46,375 --> 00:35:47,917
Juan!
370
00:35:48,083 --> 00:35:49,958
Juan!
371
00:35:53,792 --> 00:35:55,958
What are you waiting for? Shoot!
372
00:35:59,417 --> 00:36:02,125
Shoot! That's an order!
373
00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:05,417
Shoo“
374
00:36:21,250 --> 00:36:23,667
We bid farewell
to these war heroes,
375
00:36:23,833 --> 00:36:26,208
with eternal thanks
for their endeavor.
376
00:36:26,375 --> 00:36:29,333
May God reward them
377
00:36:29,500 --> 00:36:31,542
when He receives them in Heaven.
378
00:36:31,708 --> 00:36:33,750
May his Holiness hold him in glory
379
00:36:33,917 --> 00:36:36,167
and may he be forever in our hearts.
Amen.
380
00:36:36,333 --> 00:36:37,542
Amen.
381
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:06,083
Bad times are coming,
and we have to be ready.
382
00:37:12,167 --> 00:37:13,500
This...
383
00:37:13,667 --> 00:37:16,917
will help us keep hunger
and despair at bay.
384
00:37:19,833 --> 00:37:21,000
What is it?
385
00:37:22,375 --> 00:37:23,708
Opium.
386
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:26,333
There's not enough for everyone,
but we can share it.
387
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,667
Have you ever tried it?
388
00:37:31,625 --> 00:37:33,125
Before the Philippines
389
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:36,917
I was spreading the gospel
in the south of China.
390
00:37:37,083 --> 00:37:39,333
There they give their lives
for this stuff,
391
00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,208
men get addicted, lose their teeth,
392
00:37:42,375 --> 00:37:44,500
women their dignity...
393
00:37:45,542 --> 00:37:47,667
but it also relieves pain.
394
00:37:48,875 --> 00:37:49,875
What pain?
395
00:37:53,792 --> 00:37:54,917
All pain.
396
00:37:57,417 --> 00:37:59,458
If God wants me to keep working,
397
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:02,250
and I believe he does,
398
00:38:02,417 --> 00:38:04,125
I need to be strong.
399
00:38:06,583 --> 00:38:07,792
You do too.
400
00:38:09,292 --> 00:38:10,417
Me?
401
00:38:12,292 --> 00:38:13,500
Go on, smoke.
402
00:38:15,125 --> 00:38:16,208
Smoke.
403
00:38:40,958 --> 00:38:43,417
Most Spaniards can't read,
404
00:38:44,458 --> 00:38:46,875
but they know that
Cortez conquered Mexico,
405
00:38:47,042 --> 00:38:50,458
and they know it from
paintings, prints, drawings...
406
00:38:52,125 --> 00:38:53,958
What's this got to do with Mexico?
407
00:38:54,125 --> 00:38:57,583
Son, an empire was born there,
408
00:38:57,750 --> 00:39:00,083
and here we may be burying it.
409
00:39:00,458 --> 00:39:01,875
Don't say that, Father.
410
00:39:02,042 --> 00:39:03,500
What I say doesn't matter.
411
00:39:04,333 --> 00:39:06,375
It's for the Lord to decide.
412
00:39:06,542 --> 00:39:07,750
If that happens,
413
00:39:08,958 --> 00:39:10,250
it'll be a disaster.
414
00:39:10,417 --> 00:39:13,708
Yes, but someone
will have to paint it.
415
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,250
What are you doing there?
416
00:39:51,375 --> 00:39:54,917
Stop listening! The bastards
are playing tricks on us!
417
00:39:55,083 --> 00:39:57,792
Anyone not on guard,
back inside the church.
418
00:39:57,958 --> 00:39:59,125
Go!
419
00:40:09,167 --> 00:40:12,208
Because...
420
00:40:12,375 --> 00:40:15,708
my Song”
421
00:40:21,208 --> 00:40:23,750
Sons of bitches!
422
00:40:32,417 --> 00:40:34,375
Long live Spain, damn it!
423
00:40:34,542 --> 00:40:36,500
Long live the Philippines!
424
00:40:38,333 --> 00:40:41,417
I need your laughter,
425
00:40:41,583 --> 00:40:43,667
I need your kisses,
426
00:40:44,917 --> 00:40:49,833
I need your spark.
427
00:40:50,792 --> 00:40:53,333
I need your laughter,
428
00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:57,583
I need your kisses,
429
00:40:59,333 --> 00:41:01,042
I need...
430
00:41:02,583 --> 00:41:06,583
your spark.
431
00:41:19,125 --> 00:41:21,958
OCTOBER 10, 1898
432
00:41:22,125 --> 00:41:25,333
THREE MONTHS OF SIEGE
433
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:17,792
Here, "Ron".
434
00:42:21,917 --> 00:42:23,292
Where are you, "Ron"?
435
00:42:26,458 --> 00:42:27,500
"Ron".
436
00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:30,792
"Ron".
437
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:34,500
We should sacrifice
the captain's dog.
438
00:42:39,458 --> 00:42:40,578
Don't you think, Lieutenant?
439
00:42:40,708 --> 00:42:44,000
- Not much protein.
- Right, but it's something.
440
00:42:45,333 --> 00:42:49,333
The sacks we had to throw away
were his responsibility.
441
00:42:51,042 --> 00:42:53,958
I bet in Manila he took more care
about his dog biscuits
442
00:42:54,125 --> 00:42:57,292
- than our food.
- Watch your mouth, Sergeant.
443
00:42:57,458 --> 00:43:00,708
Lieutenant, the captain...
444
00:43:00,875 --> 00:43:03,708
isn't like us. You know it.
445
00:43:03,875 --> 00:43:05,292
What do I know?
446
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:31,875
Lieutenant...
447
00:43:33,375 --> 00:43:36,708
I've got no room,
put him there till there's a bed.
448
00:43:38,458 --> 00:43:41,708
Give him water with sugar
to hydrate him. Here.
449
00:43:46,375 --> 00:43:49,708
No, small sips,
so his stomach doesn't reject it.
450
00:44:03,333 --> 00:44:04,458
Lieutenant...
451
00:44:06,333 --> 00:44:07,667
What's happening?
452
00:44:09,500 --> 00:44:11,000
It's the food,
453
00:44:11,167 --> 00:44:13,708
the sacks from Manila
were contaminated.
454
00:44:15,917 --> 00:44:18,042
We're going to be like this
the whole time?
455
00:44:18,792 --> 00:44:20,083
No. We'll get worse.
456
00:44:22,875 --> 00:44:24,167
Look...
457
00:44:30,125 --> 00:44:31,500
What's he got?
458
00:44:31,667 --> 00:44:32,958
It's called beriberi.
459
00:44:33,375 --> 00:44:35,958
The body becomes malnourished,
it lacks minerals...
460
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
It starts in the legs,
but slowly affects the heart,
461
00:44:40,167 --> 00:44:42,125
the head...
462
00:44:43,375 --> 00:44:44,792
Beriberi?
463
00:44:44,958 --> 00:44:47,750
It means "I can't" in Sinhalese.
464
00:44:47,917 --> 00:44:50,833
I can't walk, I can't speak,
sleep, eat...
465
00:44:52,750 --> 00:44:57,167
It gradually paralyzes the body,
and finally the mind.
466
00:45:01,083 --> 00:45:03,125
And how is it cured?
467
00:45:03,292 --> 00:45:05,708
With fruit, meat, offal,
468
00:45:07,250 --> 00:45:08,833
just what we don't have.
469
00:45:19,625 --> 00:45:21,375
They tricked you, God damn it!
470
00:45:22,417 --> 00:45:24,958
Your superiors are lying to you!
471
00:45:25,125 --> 00:45:26,833
Spain's not at war anymore.
472
00:45:27,708 --> 00:45:31,125
We lost sovereignty
three months ago.
473
00:45:31,292 --> 00:45:32,708
Three months now!
474
00:45:34,292 --> 00:45:36,500
- Private.
- We sold the Philippines to the Americans!
475
00:45:36,667 --> 00:45:38,958
- Private!
- Now they fight against them...
476
00:45:39,125 --> 00:45:39,792
Captain.
477
00:45:40,125 --> 00:45:41,208
Come down.
478
00:45:57,625 --> 00:46:00,292
That fool's been saying that
for days, hasn't he?
479
00:46:09,042 --> 00:46:10,458
Are you alright, Captain?
480
00:46:19,292 --> 00:46:21,375
Lieutenant Martin told me
481
00:46:22,417 --> 00:46:24,500
you want to study Fine Arts,
482
00:46:26,417 --> 00:46:29,458
and you need a letter
of recommendation.
483
00:46:29,625 --> 00:46:30,917
I have a mission.
484
00:46:32,375 --> 00:46:34,208
A mission?
485
00:46:34,375 --> 00:46:37,000
The one with the courage
to carry it out
486
00:46:37,167 --> 00:46:39,167
will leave here with medals,
I assure you.
487
00:46:43,708 --> 00:46:44,708
Manila.
488
00:46:47,375 --> 00:46:48,667
Manila?
489
00:46:48,833 --> 00:46:50,667
We need to get to Manila.
490
00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:55,417
It's the only way to find out
what's actually going on.
491
00:46:56,458 --> 00:46:58,333
You have strong legs
and you're smart.
492
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:02,125
You could cross the Sierra Madre,
reach Manila,
493
00:47:02,292 --> 00:47:04,167
and be back in a fortnight.
494
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,458
I'm asking you, please.
495
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,458
I’m sleepy-
496
00:47:20,833 --> 00:47:21,917
Are you scared?
497
00:47:22,083 --> 00:47:24,958
It's 200 kilometers.
498
00:47:26,708 --> 00:47:28,750
You have to get through the jungle.
499
00:47:29,792 --> 00:47:31,917
Don't think about that.
500
00:47:32,083 --> 00:47:34,667
Only God knows
what's going to happen.
501
00:47:36,708 --> 00:47:39,208
But I have to figure out
how to do it.
502
00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:41,375
You're wrong.
503
00:47:42,417 --> 00:47:45,083
Thinking weakens you,
504
00:47:45,250 --> 00:47:47,125
and your body.
505
00:47:47,292 --> 00:47:50,875
Thinking... weakens me?
506
00:47:52,167 --> 00:47:53,833
Most of us
507
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,500
suffer over and fear things
508
00:47:57,542 --> 00:47:59,917
that might not ever happen,
509
00:48:01,375 --> 00:48:04,667
things that are only in our heads.
510
00:48:06,542 --> 00:48:09,458
Your fear is all in your head.
511
00:48:43,292 --> 00:48:44,458
Something wrong?
512
00:49:16,042 --> 00:49:18,167
Captain, what's going on?
513
00:49:28,458 --> 00:49:31,125
MY (109, my dog.
514
00:49:35,083 --> 00:49:36,875
Captain...
515
00:49:50,625 --> 00:49:52,792
Who are you?
516
00:49:57,208 --> 00:49:58,250
Vigil!
517
00:49:59,917 --> 00:50:01,083
Vigil!
518
00:50:01,250 --> 00:50:03,917
Call Vigil, quickly! Quickly!
519
00:50:04,083 --> 00:50:06,667
Lieutenant, Lieutenant!
520
00:50:16,125 --> 00:50:18,292
Help me.
521
00:50:21,333 --> 00:50:23,083
Captain, can you hear me?
522
00:50:24,667 --> 00:50:25,792
Enrique.
523
00:50:26,542 --> 00:50:28,500
Enrique!
524
00:50:38,208 --> 00:50:39,833
- Ave Maria...
- What is it?
525
00:50:40,875 --> 00:50:43,250
He vomited black and collapsed.
526
00:50:52,125 --> 00:50:54,375
You'll have to take over, Lieutenant.
527
00:51:02,958 --> 00:51:05,417
Lord, we commend the soul
of your servant
528
00:51:05,583 --> 00:51:08,292
so that, dead to the world,
he is alive to you,
529
00:51:08,458 --> 00:51:11,833
and the sins that through
human frailty he committed,
530
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,458
wash them away with your mercy.
531
00:51:14,625 --> 00:51:16,042
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
532
00:51:16,208 --> 00:51:17,333
Amen.
533
00:51:35,917 --> 00:51:37,917
Since the captain
was sending me to Manila...
534
00:51:38,083 --> 00:51:41,083
The captain's dead.
I'm in charge now.
535
00:51:41,250 --> 00:51:43,083
Of course, Lieutenant,
I was just asking...
536
00:51:43,250 --> 00:51:45,083
Going to Manila is suicide.
537
00:51:45,708 --> 00:51:47,508
They'd have killed you
as soon as you got out.
538
00:51:49,125 --> 00:51:52,250
And I can't lose any more men.
539
00:51:52,417 --> 00:51:54,708
Anything else?
540
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:56,708
No, Lieutenant.
541
00:51:57,917 --> 00:51:59,333
With your permission...
542
00:52:30,667 --> 00:52:33,792
The heart, liver and offal
are for the sick.
543
00:52:33,958 --> 00:52:36,583
The rest will make a soup
for the others.
544
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:38,292
Yes, Lieutenant.
545
00:52:50,708 --> 00:52:52,083
It won't go around.
546
00:52:53,417 --> 00:52:56,375
There are too many of us.
547
00:52:56,542 --> 00:52:58,042
Don't think about that.
548
00:52:59,667 --> 00:53:01,250
Thinking makes you weak.
549
00:53:13,833 --> 00:53:16,083
I don't want to be buried here.
550
00:53:16,250 --> 00:53:17,667
No one's going to bury you.
551
00:53:18,833 --> 00:53:21,083
I've seen them being taken away.
552
00:53:21,250 --> 00:53:22,792
Take it easy, son.
553
00:53:22,958 --> 00:53:26,333
Death doesn't take anyone
without God's permission.
554
00:53:27,083 --> 00:53:29,042
And where's God, Father?
555
00:53:29,208 --> 00:53:31,917
Father, give me the brown flask.
Alonso, the washbasin!
556
00:53:36,875 --> 00:53:40,875
I don't care what you snatch,
cabbage, potatoes, anything fresh.
557
00:53:41,042 --> 00:53:44,708
We can't keep waiting here,
we need to stop this beriberi.
558
00:53:46,375 --> 00:53:47,833
Didn't you want to be a hero?
559
00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:52,250
Better this than crossing
the Sierra Madre to Manila.
560
00:53:53,417 --> 00:53:55,167
I can't do it alone, Lieutenant.
561
00:53:58,333 --> 00:54:00,833
Take Jose, it'll do him good.
562
00:54:14,667 --> 00:54:17,333
- I can't take any more.
- Come on, nearly there.
563
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:19,583
- You go on...
- Shit, Jose!
564
00:54:46,458 --> 00:54:47,833
A dog!
565
00:55:14,708 --> 00:55:18,208
Let's get out of here!
Carlos, they're coming!
566
00:55:28,625 --> 00:55:30,542
Go! Go!
567
00:55:30,708 --> 00:55:32,458
Hurry! Go!
568
00:55:39,958 --> 00:55:42,583
My Virgin! My Virgin!
569
00:55:42,750 --> 00:55:45,208
I have to go back!
Leave me alone!
570
00:55:45,375 --> 00:55:47,500
I have to go out there!
571
00:55:49,333 --> 00:55:51,542
Let me go out there!
572
00:56:20,958 --> 00:56:22,375
We could've brought it in.
573
00:56:24,083 --> 00:56:25,375
What?
574
00:56:25,542 --> 00:56:26,583
The dog.
575
00:56:27,958 --> 00:56:29,417
It was big.
576
00:56:29,583 --> 00:56:32,333
Okay, don't think about that now,
577
00:56:33,250 --> 00:56:34,917
the main thing is to save your arm.
578
00:56:37,250 --> 00:56:39,375
It'll be alright, won't it?
579
00:56:39,542 --> 00:56:41,583
You've always got your left arm.
580
00:56:42,958 --> 00:56:45,000
It's not like you're going
to be Goya, right?
581
00:58:00,375 --> 00:58:02,708
Ever been with a woman?
582
00:58:04,833 --> 00:58:06,458
Why do you ask?
583
00:58:07,667 --> 00:58:08,792
I haven't.
584
00:58:11,042 --> 00:58:12,958
Not even with a bad girl.
585
00:58:19,375 --> 00:58:21,792
My grandfather on my mom's side
died of syphilis.
586
00:58:22,542 --> 00:58:24,292
He was widowed young...
587
00:58:26,417 --> 00:58:28,042
and he was a womanizer.
588
00:58:29,333 --> 00:58:30,917
When he had bad days,
my mother and I
589
00:58:31,083 --> 00:58:33,417
would treat his skin pustules.
590
00:58:36,292 --> 00:58:37,583
It smelt terrible,
591
00:58:39,250 --> 00:58:41,750
like rotting meat.
592
00:58:45,625 --> 00:58:47,625
Do you think that in Heaven...?
593
00:58:47,792 --> 00:58:48,792
No.
594
00:58:51,292 --> 00:58:53,375
How do you know
what I'm going to ask?
595
00:58:54,292 --> 00:58:57,625
Son, our Heaven is boring.
596
00:58:57,792 --> 00:59:00,417
There are no virgins...
597
00:59:01,583 --> 00:59:04,125
or maidens like the Moors have.
598
00:59:04,292 --> 00:59:06,333
Why them and not us?
599
00:59:07,917 --> 00:59:10,542
A good question for the Creator,
600
00:59:12,125 --> 00:59:15,417
but if it's any consolation,
601
00:59:15,583 --> 00:59:19,083
it could be worse.
602
00:59:19,250 --> 00:59:20,375
Worse?
603
00:59:21,417 --> 00:59:23,292
In Oriental religions,
604
00:59:23,917 --> 00:59:25,500
when you die
605
00:59:25,667 --> 00:59:28,042
you start on a road of reincarnation
606
00:59:28,208 --> 00:59:31,333
that may last
for seventy thousand lives.
607
00:59:32,250 --> 00:59:36,042
Some are long,
like those of elephants,
608
00:59:36,208 --> 00:59:39,458
others are short, like those of...
609
00:59:41,417 --> 00:59:42,917
cockroaches.
610
00:59:44,083 --> 00:59:45,917
I don't want to be a cockroach.
611
00:59:46,083 --> 00:59:49,833
Neither do I,
and that's why I thank God
612
00:59:51,125 --> 00:59:54,125
for the blessed fortune
of being a Christian,
613
00:59:56,042 --> 00:59:58,208
even if our Heaven is crap.
614
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:37,458
We bring oranges.
615
01:00:42,458 --> 01:00:44,542
A gift from Commander Luna.
616
01:00:46,667 --> 01:00:49,583
The Commander says
617
01:00:49,750 --> 01:00:51,375
you can sow next to the church.
618
01:00:51,875 --> 01:00:53,375
It will be friendly territory.
619
01:00:54,417 --> 01:00:55,750
Friendly?
620
01:00:57,042 --> 01:00:59,500
That's what he said... "friendly".
621
01:01:04,083 --> 01:01:07,042
We're not surrendering
for a garden and some oranges.
622
01:01:07,208 --> 01:01:10,500
The Commander asks you
to read these.
623
01:01:12,417 --> 01:01:15,708
They're newspapers from Manila.
624
01:01:26,667 --> 01:01:28,458
The Commander wants peace.
625
01:01:29,500 --> 01:01:33,000
Aren't his men enough?
Now he sends in his whores?
626
01:01:36,375 --> 01:01:38,167
You're a good man, Lieutenant.
627
01:01:39,083 --> 01:01:41,167
I told my people
what you did for me.
628
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:44,583
- I didn't do anything.
- You saved my life.
629
01:01:45,625 --> 01:01:47,750
Do the same for your soldiers.
630
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:50,250
Save them.
631
01:01:50,375 --> 01:01:52,542
What I do is none of your business.
632
01:01:52,708 --> 01:01:55,167
We're not spiteful.
633
01:01:56,458 --> 01:01:58,625
I like Spanish men.
634
01:02:01,333 --> 01:02:04,625
Instead of being in there,
locked away,
635
01:02:05,667 --> 01:02:09,000
you could be here, celebrating,
636
01:02:10,042 --> 01:02:11,208
enjoying yourselves.
637
01:02:12,250 --> 01:02:14,583
Get the fuck out of here. Go!
638
01:02:17,250 --> 01:02:18,958
It's all true.
639
01:02:31,208 --> 01:02:32,250
Pick that up.
640
01:03:08,083 --> 01:03:11,750
Hey, slowly, slowly.
641
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:17,792
I'm just saying they might
take it the wrong way.
642
01:03:17,958 --> 01:03:19,958
Accepting the gifts?
643
01:03:20,917 --> 01:03:21,917
Yes, Lieutenant.
644
01:03:21,958 --> 01:03:24,917
I don't give a shit.
I need strong men,
645
01:03:25,083 --> 01:03:28,000
healthy men, or tell me how
we can defend this church.
646
01:03:28,167 --> 01:03:30,542
- As we have up to now.
- Tell that to Vigil,
647
01:03:30,708 --> 01:03:32,125
his infirmary is full,
648
01:03:32,292 --> 01:03:35,292
tell that to Father Carmelo,
he's sick of giving last rites.
649
01:03:35,833 --> 01:03:36,958
Right.
650
01:03:37,125 --> 01:03:40,375
Or do you want us to keep dying
until you take command?
651
01:03:43,708 --> 01:03:47,292
- I don't know what you mean.
- What's your point?
652
01:03:47,833 --> 01:03:49,667
You can do better than I can?
653
01:03:51,292 --> 01:03:53,250
You think I'm afraid to die here?
654
01:03:54,375 --> 01:03:55,833
I have no one in Spain.
655
01:03:56,250 --> 01:03:59,500
No wife, no children.
I asked to come to this war.
656
01:03:59,708 --> 01:04:01,375
Then do it right, Lieutenant.
657
01:04:01,542 --> 01:04:03,375
As you did when the Tagalog
massacred us?
658
01:04:03,542 --> 01:04:05,083
We fought to the end.
659
01:04:05,250 --> 01:04:09,125
You surrendered.
That's the difference between us.
660
01:04:09,667 --> 01:04:11,625
No one's surrendering here,
661
01:04:11,792 --> 01:04:13,792
whatever happens
or whoever may fall.
662
01:04:18,792 --> 01:04:20,583
Sergeant...
663
01:04:23,667 --> 01:04:25,250
Tear up those pamphlets.
664
01:04:26,917 --> 01:04:28,917
It doesn't leave this room.
665
01:04:45,125 --> 01:04:47,333
DECEMBER 31, 1898
SIX MONTHS OF SIEGE
666
01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:50,500
Spaniards,
today's a day to celebrate.
667
01:04:50,667 --> 01:04:52,667
Lay down arms
and come into town,
668
01:04:52,833 --> 01:04:55,083
we're celebrating.
669
01:04:55,250 --> 01:04:58,500
You can have some fun!
Listen to me and come here!
670
01:04:59,542 --> 01:05:03,000
Look at the women
we have for you!
671
01:05:03,167 --> 01:05:05,208
All of them for you!
672
01:05:05,375 --> 01:05:09,167
When did you last touch a woman?
673
01:05:09,583 --> 01:05:12,583
All this talk of decency!
Forget the priests,
674
01:05:13,292 --> 01:05:15,917
forget Spain and come into town,
675
01:05:16,083 --> 01:05:17,500
- we're celebrating.
- F amen.
676
01:05:17,667 --> 01:05:21,083
Tonight open all the wine.
Let the men celebrate.
677
01:06:00,667 --> 01:06:01,917
Here, son.
678
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:07,708
There isn't much left.
679
01:06:07,875 --> 01:06:08,875
No.
680
01:06:09,917 --> 01:06:11,917
There's enough here to say
goodbye to the year.
681
01:06:12,083 --> 01:06:14,292
I mean the opium.
682
01:06:14,458 --> 01:06:15,458
What?
683
01:06:16,583 --> 01:06:19,750
Up to now, it's helped us hold on.
684
01:06:21,167 --> 01:06:23,958
But when it's gone,
we must be strong, very strong.
685
01:06:24,125 --> 01:06:27,875
Especially here.
686
01:06:31,208 --> 01:06:34,625
The first days are the worst,
but it'll pass.
687
01:06:35,667 --> 01:06:37,042
Everything passes.
688
01:07:05,958 --> 01:07:06,958
Here.
689
01:07:07,792 --> 01:07:08,792
Go on, cheer up.
690
01:07:09,833 --> 01:07:11,917
To us,
getting out of this church alive.
691
01:07:22,583 --> 01:07:25,958
Vigil, has anyone seen
Father Carmelo?
692
01:07:26,125 --> 01:07:28,750
I left him in the sacristy,
visiting the sick.
693
01:07:28,917 --> 01:07:30,958
Find him so he can bless
the New Year.
694
01:07:32,917 --> 01:07:35,458
Go and get him.
695
01:07:38,292 --> 01:07:39,292
Father...
696
01:07:43,042 --> 01:07:44,083
Father.
697
01:07:46,042 --> 01:07:47,250
Father, what have you done?
698
01:07:47,417 --> 01:07:50,458
Carlos, is he down there?
699
01:07:53,750 --> 01:07:56,375
Carlos, have you found
Father Carmelo?
700
01:07:58,417 --> 01:07:59,500
He's here!
701
01:08:01,875 --> 01:08:03,000
Get Vigil.
702
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:07,083
- Get Vigil.
- Oh, fuck...
703
01:08:26,583 --> 01:08:29,208
May his soul rest in peace.
Amen.
704
01:11:29,292 --> 01:11:31,750
- Lieutenant.
- Get some rest. Everyone.
705
01:11:31,917 --> 01:11:34,000
- We're on guard until...
- That's an order.
706
01:11:50,583 --> 01:11:52,917
I need your kisses...
707
01:11:53,083 --> 01:11:54,667
l need...
708
01:12:05,833 --> 01:12:09,167
I will tell you...
709
01:13:36,167 --> 01:13:39,667
Artillery fire! Artillery fire!
710
01:13:39,833 --> 01:13:41,083
They're shelling us!
711
01:13:43,167 --> 01:13:45,958
- Someone to the bell tower!
- Let's go! Get up!
712
01:13:46,125 --> 01:13:48,542
- To your posts!
- Go! Hurry!
713
01:13:48,708 --> 01:13:50,833
- Come on, go!
- They've got a cannon.
714
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,125
- Where'd they get it from?
- Hurry!
715
01:13:54,292 --> 01:13:55,792
Let's go, hurry!
716
01:13:57,625 --> 01:13:59,042
Fire!
717
01:14:04,583 --> 01:14:08,000
- What's happening?
- Take cover! Get down!
718
01:14:12,917 --> 01:14:14,125
What do we do?
719
01:14:15,583 --> 01:14:18,250
- The cannon's out of range.
- Then what?
720
01:14:21,208 --> 01:14:23,750
Fire!
721
01:15:03,917 --> 01:15:07,000
"You see the attacks
the Devil and the world
722
01:15:07,167 --> 01:15:10,083
make everywhere on the faith,
723
01:15:10,250 --> 01:15:13,875
in which, to gain eternal glory,
724
01:15:14,042 --> 01:15:16,917
we desire, by the grace of God
725
01:15:17,083 --> 01:15:19,208
to live and die.
726
01:15:20,958 --> 01:15:24,208
You, the aid of Christians,
727
01:15:24,375 --> 01:15:27,125
renew, for your sons' salvation,
728
01:15:27,292 --> 01:15:29,167
the ancient victories..."
729
01:15:40,083 --> 01:15:42,792
Help me! Help me!
730
01:15:44,208 --> 01:15:47,542
"They pledge to you
the firm intention..."
731
01:15:47,708 --> 01:15:51,333
We'll never get out of here,
we'll die one by one
732
01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:55,500
- today, tomorrow, in a week...
- Shut the fuck up!
733
01:16:00,250 --> 01:16:02,250
We must go out and fight,
734
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,458
fight like men.
735
01:16:05,875 --> 01:16:08,083
We put powder in the breech,
seal it
736
01:16:08,250 --> 01:16:10,125
and blow the cannon sky high.
737
01:16:10,292 --> 01:16:12,708
- How do we get to the cannon?
- With balls,
738
01:16:12,917 --> 01:16:14,333
what you're all lacking.
739
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:16,750
I need every man
in fighting condition.
740
01:16:16,917 --> 01:16:19,042
It'll only be one, short attack.
741
01:16:19,208 --> 01:16:20,958
If it goes wrong, it's all over,
742
01:16:21,125 --> 01:16:23,958
there'll be no one in any state
to defend the church,
743
01:16:24,125 --> 01:16:26,083
but if it succeeds...
744
01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:27,875
We'll go in two groups
745
01:16:28,042 --> 01:16:31,167
so they think there are more
of us and the surprise is greater.
746
01:16:31,333 --> 01:16:35,083
I'll attack on the right flank,
Sergeant Jimeno, the left.
747
01:16:35,250 --> 01:16:37,833
I'll give you time
to take your positions.
748
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,625
We can't risk any signals.
749
01:16:39,792 --> 01:16:42,042
Wait for me to open fire.
750
01:17:00,917 --> 01:17:03,375
How long do we wait here?
751
01:17:03,542 --> 01:17:06,875
- Until the lieutenant opens fire.
- What's he waiting for?
752
01:17:19,333 --> 01:17:21,208
What's wrong with you?
753
01:17:22,500 --> 01:17:24,042
Nothing.
754
01:17:24,208 --> 01:17:25,250
Nothing?
755
01:17:27,333 --> 01:17:30,458
You're not thinking of deserting
and joining your pal?
756
01:17:30,792 --> 01:17:33,792
No, I'm not thinking of anything.
757
01:17:42,167 --> 01:17:44,292
- What's that?
- What?
758
01:17:45,917 --> 01:17:47,833
Hear that?
759
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,333
It's a buffalo.
760
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:50,958
Get out of the way, fuck!
761
01:18:07,708 --> 01:18:09,958
What the hell are you doing?
762
01:18:15,875 --> 01:18:17,500
Cover his mouth
so he doesn't scream.
763
01:18:22,125 --> 01:18:23,542
Tie him up on the ground.
764
01:18:24,917 --> 01:18:27,250
Sergeant, there are crocodiles.
765
01:18:28,250 --> 01:18:29,750
Is he your son?
766
01:18:35,250 --> 01:18:37,708
The cannon!
What are you waiting for?
767
01:19:18,958 --> 01:19:20,000
Cut it out.
768
01:19:21,042 --> 01:19:22,958
Stop it!
769
01:19:25,167 --> 01:19:26,958
He's dead, can't you see?
770
01:19:32,167 --> 01:19:34,917
Go, get away! Go!
771
01:19:46,333 --> 01:19:49,667
- There, behind that cabin!
- Fire! Fire over there!
772
01:19:50,958 --> 01:19:53,208
Where are you going? Halt!
773
01:19:53,917 --> 01:19:56,157
- What are you doing, Sergeant?
- He's running off! Fuck!
774
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:59,083
Here! Help me!
775
01:19:59,250 --> 01:20:03,083
- I can't control them!
- We have to go now! Let's go!
776
01:20:03,833 --> 01:20:06,250
- They're regrouping!
- C'mon, grab it all! Go!
777
01:20:07,792 --> 01:20:10,917
Grab any food you can find!
778
01:20:12,125 --> 01:20:14,125
Go, Jimeno!
Carlos and I will cover you.
779
01:20:14,292 --> 01:20:16,417
Move it! Go!
780
01:20:16,583 --> 01:20:17,875
Let's
781
01:20:21,333 --> 01:20:24,375
The fire will cover us.
We'll burn the whole town down.
782
01:20:26,375 --> 01:20:27,792
Burn it all down.
783
01:20:35,042 --> 01:20:37,333
Carlos, we have to go now!
784
01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:42,375
- We can win the war!
- Carlos...
785
01:20:44,542 --> 01:20:45,917
We can win it.
786
01:21:31,542 --> 01:21:32,792
What happened?
787
01:21:34,333 --> 01:21:36,042
The sergeant found something.
788
01:21:37,208 --> 01:21:39,500
It was hidden in
a sack in the basement.
789
01:21:40,542 --> 01:21:43,375
- How long have you been smoking it?
- I don't know what you mean.
790
01:21:43,542 --> 01:21:44,875
You don't?
791
01:21:45,042 --> 01:21:46,792
- You're sick.
- No.
792
01:21:46,958 --> 01:21:49,583
- You think we're idiots?
- You're sick! Don't deny it.
793
01:21:49,750 --> 01:21:52,292
- Dilated pupils, goose bumps...
- lt's not true!
794
01:21:52,458 --> 01:21:55,333
- Take him to the basement.
- We could cure him here.
795
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:57,500
- Leave me alone!
- No! To the basement!
796
01:21:57,667 --> 01:22:00,458
C'mon, to the basement.
797
01:22:00,625 --> 01:22:03,583
Let's go! Come on!
798
01:22:04,125 --> 01:22:06,958
Let me go! Let me go!
799
01:22:10,250 --> 01:22:11,250
No!
800
01:22:14,708 --> 01:22:17,388
- Don't do this to me, Lieutenant!
- The worst thing is the anxiety.
801
01:22:17,417 --> 01:22:19,625
Keep your mind busy.
802
01:22:19,792 --> 01:22:21,333
No...
803
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:24,500
Don't leave me here!
Oh God, I'm begging you!
804
01:22:24,667 --> 01:22:27,708
Don't leave me here!
I'm begging you!
805
01:22:27,875 --> 01:22:31,375
I’m begging You"-
806
01:22:44,625 --> 01:22:46,708
Fine wine all around!
807
01:24:15,333 --> 01:24:17,333
MAY 18, 1899
808
01:24:17,500 --> 01:24:19,917
TEN MONTHS OF SIEGE
809
01:24:33,417 --> 01:24:34,625
Welcome to the world.
810
01:24:35,667 --> 01:24:36,792
Everything alright?
811
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:43,542
Hey, at last!
812
01:24:52,542 --> 01:24:53,875
A little wine?
813
01:24:54,917 --> 01:24:58,042
Eat. Get your strength back.
814
01:25:12,750 --> 01:25:14,833
A ship!
815
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,583
A ship in the bay!
816
01:25:19,458 --> 01:25:20,458
Is it Spanish?
817
01:25:26,875 --> 01:25:29,292
It's not a Spanish patrol boat.
818
01:25:35,875 --> 01:25:38,583
It's a lieutenant colonel's uniform,
but it's obsolete.
819
01:25:39,167 --> 01:25:40,583
This looks like a set-up.
820
01:25:42,250 --> 01:25:44,708
Let's see what he has to say.
821
01:25:44,875 --> 01:25:46,708
Don't let him come any closer.
822
01:25:48,417 --> 01:25:51,000
It's just one man.
Are we that frightened?
823
01:25:54,208 --> 01:25:57,833
Moisés and Pedro,
cover us from the front door.
824
01:26:02,583 --> 01:26:05,458
Cristóbal Aguilar y Castañeda,
Lt. Colonel in the Spanish Army,
825
01:26:05,625 --> 01:26:07,292
under orders from General Rios.
826
01:26:07,458 --> 01:26:10,083
Lieutenant Martin Cerezo,
2nd Ranger Battalion.
827
01:26:10,333 --> 01:26:13,583
I'm here to give this document
to Captain Las Morenas.
828
01:26:13,750 --> 01:26:16,000
Captain Las Morenas is indisposed.
829
01:26:16,167 --> 01:26:17,583
What does that mean?
830
01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:19,250
He can't receive you,
831
01:26:20,083 --> 01:26:22,583
but you can speak to me.
832
01:26:22,750 --> 01:26:25,417
- Let me inside the church.
- We'll talk here.
833
01:26:25,583 --> 01:26:27,063
- What did you say?
- We'll talk here.
834
01:26:27,208 --> 01:26:31,042
Who do you think you're talking to?
I'm your superior officer.
835
01:26:31,875 --> 01:26:34,375
Who advised you?
That uniform is obsolete.
836
01:26:36,667 --> 01:26:39,958
I order you to let me
into the church at once!
837
01:26:42,458 --> 01:26:45,667
Do you want me to report you
for insubordination?
838
01:26:47,833 --> 01:26:50,750
I'm here to give the order
to hand over this position.
839
01:26:50,917 --> 01:26:52,208
Read it yourself.
840
01:26:52,375 --> 01:26:54,500
How do I know it's legitimate?
841
01:26:54,667 --> 01:26:56,208
It has General Rios' signature.
842
01:26:56,375 --> 01:26:57,833
Anyone can forge a signature.
843
01:27:02,083 --> 01:27:05,125
This is a copy of "El Imparcial",
a Spanish newspaper.
844
01:27:05,500 --> 01:27:08,000
It has news on
the loss of the colonies.
845
01:27:08,167 --> 01:27:10,167
- You think I forged that tool?
- Save your newspapers,
846
01:27:10,333 --> 01:27:13,042
- they've brought us others.
- You're acting like a fool!
847
01:27:13,208 --> 01:27:16,208
I'm covered by article 748
of the field regulations:
848
01:27:16,375 --> 01:27:18,375
"An order in writing to surrender
849
01:27:18,542 --> 01:27:20,125
must not be obeyed
until verified as authentic".
850
01:27:20,292 --> 01:27:22,500
Call Captain Las Morenas,
he knows me.
851
01:27:22,667 --> 01:27:23,542
That's not going to happen.
852
01:27:23,708 --> 01:27:26,125
Why defend a position
that no longer belongs to Spain?
853
01:27:26,292 --> 01:27:28,500
Then why attack us like this?
854
01:27:28,667 --> 01:27:32,667
The Filipinos attack because
you've no right to be here.
855
01:27:32,833 --> 01:27:34,542
Read the damned document!
856
01:27:34,708 --> 01:27:37,125
It says that Spain ceded,
last December 10th,
857
01:27:37,292 --> 01:27:40,042
all of its Overseas Territories
to the United States.
858
01:27:40,208 --> 01:27:43,542
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines
have lost Spanish sovereignty.
859
01:27:44,667 --> 01:27:46,958
Your mission here is over.
860
01:27:47,292 --> 01:27:49,208
See for yourself.
861
01:27:52,750 --> 01:27:55,167
When you're convinced,
raise the white flag.
862
01:27:55,333 --> 01:27:58,333
The sooner we end this insanity,
the better it is for everyone.
863
01:28:04,792 --> 01:28:07,583
"On receipt of an order
in writing from a superior
864
01:28:07,750 --> 01:28:10,000
to surrender a position,
its execution is suspended
865
01:28:10,167 --> 01:28:12,375
until authenticity is verified,
866
01:28:12,542 --> 01:28:14,000
by sending, if possible,
867
01:28:14,167 --> 01:28:17,083
a person of trust
to check it verbally."
868
01:28:17,250 --> 01:28:19,875
I'm not falling for this,
least of all now.
869
01:28:20,042 --> 01:28:22,042
The tone and phrasing sound real.
870
01:28:22,208 --> 01:28:24,667
They want it to sound real.
871
01:28:24,833 --> 01:28:27,083
But he asked to see the captain,
he said he knew him.
872
01:28:27,250 --> 01:28:28,042
And...?
873
01:28:28,208 --> 01:28:31,292
If you're lying you don't risk
saying something that can be proven.
874
01:28:31,458 --> 01:28:33,792
Only we know
that Enrique is dead.
875
01:28:33,958 --> 01:28:36,083
He's smart.
He was sent to confuse us.
876
01:28:36,250 --> 01:28:37,667
- What if he's telling the truth?
- He's lying!
877
01:28:37,833 --> 01:28:39,208
We don't know that!
878
01:28:41,167 --> 01:28:43,007
If the Field Marshal sent him,
he would've come
879
01:28:43,167 --> 01:28:45,625
on a Spanish patrol boat
and not alone.
880
01:28:52,375 --> 01:28:56,000
If this document is true, we've been fighting
for almost a year for the hell of it.
881
01:28:56,167 --> 01:28:59,708
Nobody's fighting for the hell of it!
We're defending ourselves
882
01:28:59,875 --> 01:29:01,625
from men firing a cannon at us!
883
01:29:56,042 --> 01:29:58,333
You've lost your last chance
884
01:29:58,500 --> 01:30:01,208
to get out alive, Spaniards.
885
01:30:01,500 --> 01:30:02,875
Your last chance!
886
01:30:07,083 --> 01:30:08,542
You've been shut in there
for a year
887
01:30:08,708 --> 01:30:11,125
while Spain is laughing at you!
888
01:30:12,625 --> 01:30:15,000
You're not going to die for Spain!
889
01:30:15,375 --> 01:30:17,375
You're going to die
because you're idiots!
890
01:30:18,250 --> 01:30:22,000
That's what you are,
a bunch of idiots!
891
01:30:22,167 --> 01:30:24,708
Fuck you! Fuck you all!
892
01:30:26,042 --> 01:30:27,792
You know how
you'll be remembered?
893
01:30:28,833 --> 01:30:30,708
How you'll go down in history?
894
01:30:32,167 --> 01:30:35,000
You'll be known
as the nitwits of Baler!
895
01:30:36,792 --> 01:30:38,875
The pigs of Baler! Fuck!
896
01:30:47,750 --> 01:30:50,042
Why doesn't he go back to Spain?
897
01:30:50,208 --> 01:30:53,625
He can't. If he went back
without us, they'd shoot him.
898
01:30:53,792 --> 01:30:54,792
Sure.
899
01:30:56,542 --> 01:30:58,625
We're at war, aren't we?
900
01:31:03,833 --> 01:31:06,417
Fire! Go!
901
01:31:06,583 --> 01:31:08,708
Don't let them get close!
902
01:31:08,875 --> 01:31:12,333
Fire, damn it! Fire!
903
01:31:44,125 --> 01:31:46,792
Lieutenant...
904
01:31:50,833 --> 01:31:53,000
I want to comply with regulations.
905
01:31:53,167 --> 01:31:54,167
Excuse me?
906
01:31:54,208 --> 01:31:57,792
I'll be the person of trust that
goes to check if it's true.
907
01:31:57,958 --> 01:31:59,750
How will you check it?
908
01:32:00,625 --> 01:32:02,708
I'll go to Manila, Lieutenant.
909
01:32:03,833 --> 01:32:05,708
Have you been smoking the opium again?
910
01:32:07,667 --> 01:32:10,625
- If we'd listened to the captain...
- You'd be dead.
911
01:32:11,583 --> 01:32:14,500
- That's what would've happened.
- We can't keep waiting here.
912
01:32:14,667 --> 01:32:17,500
Are you looking for
your exemplary service letter?
913
01:32:18,458 --> 01:32:20,458
Your mayor tricked you, Carlos.
914
01:32:20,625 --> 01:32:23,083
That school won't take
people like you.
915
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:24,917
If we stay here, we'll die.
916
01:32:26,167 --> 01:32:28,000
You won't make it to Manila alive.
917
01:32:34,750 --> 01:32:36,958
You're coming back, aren't you?
918
01:32:38,083 --> 01:32:39,292
Of course.
919
01:32:40,583 --> 01:32:42,542
I'll bring reinforcements.
920
01:32:42,708 --> 01:32:44,625
There won't be anyone in Manila.
921
01:32:44,875 --> 01:32:45,875
It doesn't matter.
922
01:32:46,958 --> 01:32:49,417
I'll be back.
923
01:36:50,125 --> 01:36:51,333
Well, well...
924
01:36:53,250 --> 01:36:55,833
Where'd he come from?
925
01:36:58,667 --> 01:37:00,208
Where were you headed?
926
01:37:00,667 --> 01:37:01,333
Manila.
927
01:37:01,500 --> 01:37:03,250
There are no Spaniards in Manila.
928
01:37:04,125 --> 01:37:06,458
My army?
929
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:09,792
Your army...
930
01:37:09,958 --> 01:37:12,417
sold the Philippines to the Americans.
931
01:37:14,875 --> 01:37:17,458
Now we're fighting them.
932
01:37:21,417 --> 01:37:23,125
You're not allies anymore?
933
01:37:23,292 --> 01:37:25,292
They didn't come to help,
934
01:37:26,792 --> 01:37:28,500
they came to stay.
935
01:37:36,125 --> 01:37:39,000
You didn't know
what was going on at all
936
01:37:39,167 --> 01:37:41,833
inside that church, did you?
937
01:37:43,292 --> 01:37:45,667
You're alone, soldier.
There's no empire,
938
01:37:45,917 --> 01:37:49,333
no army, no glory to defend.
939
01:37:52,042 --> 01:37:54,083
My war is not with you.
940
01:37:59,667 --> 01:38:01,125
You're not my prisoner.
941
01:38:02,167 --> 01:38:05,417
If you insist on going to Manila,
I'll give you a horse.
942
01:38:05,583 --> 01:38:07,458
But there's nothing there.
943
01:38:18,875 --> 01:38:21,083
If you go back to the church,
you're a fool.
944
01:38:23,208 --> 01:38:24,625
I'm not a fool,
945
01:38:25,667 --> 01:38:27,417
nor am I a traitor.
946
01:38:31,875 --> 01:38:35,208
A traitor to what... and to whom?
947
01:38:35,792 --> 01:38:39,000
Spain sold the Philippines
to the Yankees!
948
01:38:39,167 --> 01:38:42,458
Our government sold the Philippines
for 20 million dollars!
949
01:38:42,625 --> 01:38:45,125
All these heroics
and shit they got us to do,
950
01:38:45,292 --> 01:38:48,750
and in the end what counted
was money. As usual!
951
01:38:53,083 --> 01:38:56,292
And what do you think they'll do
with all that money?
952
01:38:56,458 --> 01:38:59,958
Give it to the families of the dead
in Cuba, the Philippines,
953
01:39:00,125 --> 01:39:01,458
Puerto Rico?
954
01:39:04,833 --> 01:39:08,042
Will they give it to your mother
when you're buried here?
955
01:39:09,250 --> 01:39:10,333
No.
956
01:39:11,375 --> 01:39:13,750
They'll keep it for themselves.
957
01:39:13,917 --> 01:39:16,792
They don't give a shit
about us, Carlos.
958
01:39:20,875 --> 01:39:24,042
If you want to give your life for
some dirt bag then that's up to you.
959
01:40:05,625 --> 01:40:08,292
It's all lies! You weren't going
to try to reach Manila?
960
01:40:08,458 --> 01:40:11,042
Manila is occupied by the Americans.
961
01:40:11,208 --> 01:40:14,958
The Filipinos are fighting them.
We've got no business here.
962
01:40:15,125 --> 01:40:17,417
That's for me to decide!
963
01:40:18,750 --> 01:40:20,042
Do you really think
964
01:40:20,208 --> 01:40:23,625
anyone would take the trouble
to forge all these papers
965
01:40:23,792 --> 01:40:25,292
for us, for this church?
966
01:40:25,458 --> 01:40:27,542
Can't you see they're full of lies?!
967
01:40:28,583 --> 01:40:30,423
20 million for Puerto Rico
and the Philippines?
968
01:40:30,458 --> 01:40:32,458
What kind of deal is that?
969
01:40:32,625 --> 01:40:36,458
You've got education and sense.
Would you do business this way?
970
01:40:36,625 --> 01:40:39,750
They're telling us that
they're willing to buy us,
971
01:40:39,917 --> 01:40:41,792
that our surrender has a price,
972
01:40:42,167 --> 01:40:44,667
and that insults
the memory of our dead.
973
01:40:46,375 --> 01:40:48,735
Not to mention that stupid
naval battle in Santiago de Cuba.
974
01:40:48,792 --> 01:40:51,958
You don't need a degree to know that
if your ships aren't battle-ready
975
01:40:52,125 --> 01:40:55,333
they stay in port and defend the bay
from land. It's common sense.
976
01:40:55,500 --> 01:40:56,750
Common sense!
977
01:40:57,792 --> 01:41:00,417
Do you think our leaders
in Madrid have common sense?
978
01:41:01,750 --> 01:41:05,375
They sent me here
not knowing how to shoot,
979
01:41:05,542 --> 01:41:07,917
- and with no boots...
- This is different.
980
01:41:08,083 --> 01:41:11,750
One thing is being inept,
another is what these papers say.
981
01:41:11,917 --> 01:41:15,042
If someone gave the order to face
the American fleet in those conditions,
982
01:41:15,208 --> 01:41:16,792
they should be shot for treason.
983
01:41:18,333 --> 01:41:20,125
Do you think we're led by a traitor?
984
01:41:21,542 --> 01:41:24,375
No, Lieutenant, not a traitor,
985
01:41:25,958 --> 01:41:27,667
an incompetent.
986
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,792
I'm neither one nor the other.
987
01:41:31,042 --> 01:41:34,458
And until I know for sure what's
going on outside, I'll keep fighting.
988
01:41:37,792 --> 01:41:39,042
Dismissed.
989
01:41:49,042 --> 01:41:50,208
I don't know.
990
01:41:53,333 --> 01:41:54,500
You don't know?
991
01:41:55,583 --> 01:41:57,042
It's risky.
992
01:41:57,208 --> 01:42:00,125
Risky? Staying here is risky.
993
01:42:00,625 --> 01:42:02,625
It's only two hundred yards.
994
01:42:02,792 --> 01:42:04,458
They'll shoot us in the back.
995
01:42:05,333 --> 01:42:07,375
No, they won't.
996
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,083
I don't want to fight
in any more wars.
997
01:42:14,250 --> 01:42:16,667
What if the Filipinos make us
fight the Americans?
998
01:42:16,833 --> 01:42:18,750
They gave me their word.
999
01:42:18,917 --> 01:42:22,667
If we surrender they'll let us
leave the Philippines.
1000
01:42:24,125 --> 01:42:25,750
I don't want to end up like Juan,
1001
01:42:25,917 --> 01:42:29,375
- unable to go home.
- Staying here is madness.
1002
01:42:31,750 --> 01:42:32,958
And I'm not mad.
1003
01:44:22,667 --> 01:44:25,000
On your knees! On the ground!
1004
01:44:25,167 --> 01:44:26,833
On your knees, the three of you!
1005
01:44:29,083 --> 01:44:31,542
I knew you'd run off eventually.
1006
01:44:32,708 --> 01:44:34,000
Right?
1007
01:44:37,583 --> 01:44:39,875
Do you know the penalty for treason?
1008
01:44:41,500 --> 01:44:42,500
Do you?
1009
01:44:48,250 --> 01:44:49,375
Halt!
1010
01:44:50,667 --> 01:44:52,458
Halt!
1011
01:45:07,292 --> 01:45:10,833
You want to give us to the Tagalog
so they can machete us?
1012
01:45:11,625 --> 01:45:13,875
Is that what you wanted?
1013
01:45:47,625 --> 01:45:49,917
I won't have you shot, Carlos.
1014
01:45:50,083 --> 01:45:51,708
I don't shoot wounded men.
1015
01:45:54,083 --> 01:45:55,667
What about Jose and Carvajal?
1016
01:46:02,333 --> 01:46:03,833
They'll be executed.
1017
01:46:05,625 --> 01:46:08,208
- I convinced them to run away.
- We're doing it tomorrow
1018
01:46:08,833 --> 01:46:11,042
- in the courtyard.
- We're not at war.
1019
01:46:11,333 --> 01:46:14,375
- You'll hear it from here.
- You're wrong! You're wrong!
1020
01:46:14,750 --> 01:46:17,458
I saved your life twice, Carlos.
1021
01:46:18,083 --> 01:46:20,583
When I didn't send you to Manila,
as the captain wanted,
1022
01:46:20,917 --> 01:46:22,958
and when I carried you back
on my shoulders.
1023
01:46:24,792 --> 01:46:26,667
Which time was I wrong?
1024
01:46:33,833 --> 01:46:34,875
No...
1025
01:46:35,917 --> 01:46:36,958
No...
1026
01:46:51,250 --> 01:46:53,833
Shooting those soldiers
will cause a mutiny.
1027
01:46:55,292 --> 01:46:56,667
They're deserters.
1028
01:46:57,708 --> 01:47:00,458
They've fought for a year,
like the others.
1029
01:47:00,625 --> 01:47:03,250
- The field regulations...
- Screw the field regulations!
1030
01:47:03,417 --> 01:47:06,125
You don't want to see
what's happening.
1031
01:47:06,958 --> 01:47:08,750
You'd really put two soldiers
against a wall
1032
01:47:08,917 --> 01:47:12,625
and tell six others to kill them?
1033
01:47:36,417 --> 01:47:38,042
Moisés.
1034
01:47:38,333 --> 01:47:41,083
- Get your rifle and follow us.
- What?
1035
01:47:41,250 --> 01:47:43,250
Your rifle, get it.
1036
01:47:46,167 --> 01:47:47,375
You go to sleep.
1037
01:48:13,792 --> 01:48:15,625
Lieutenant, this is illegal.
1038
01:48:17,917 --> 01:48:19,333
This way they won't suffer.
1039
01:48:19,750 --> 01:48:21,500
That's why I'm doing it, Moises,
1040
01:48:23,167 --> 01:48:25,000
so they don't suffer.
1041
01:48:37,333 --> 01:48:38,875
Aim.
1042
01:48:47,792 --> 01:48:50,417
Aim. That's an order.
1043
01:49:17,542 --> 01:49:18,833
Fire.
1044
01:50:27,333 --> 01:50:30,792
Aim at the officer! Go!
1045
01:51:45,708 --> 01:51:47,167
You have to aim!
1046
01:51:48,458 --> 01:51:50,667
Wounded to the spare beds!
1047
01:52:37,583 --> 01:52:41,583
PERSONNEL TRANSFERS
1048
01:52:54,292 --> 01:52:55,667
What's wrong, Private?
1049
01:52:56,708 --> 01:52:59,167
You didn't have the balls
to run off after all, eh?
1050
01:52:59,333 --> 01:53:00,333
Are you alright?
1051
01:53:02,292 --> 01:53:04,792
You still have time, right, Private?
1052
01:53:04,958 --> 01:53:07,500
Stop talking!
1053
01:53:31,625 --> 01:53:33,375
It's the surrender order.
1054
01:53:42,875 --> 01:53:44,917
Not because they've defeated me.
1055
01:53:49,625 --> 01:53:51,833
We have enough ammunition
for two more months,
1056
01:53:53,417 --> 01:53:55,792
and this wall can be repaired.
1057
01:54:20,875 --> 01:54:22,667
I found a news item.
1058
01:54:23,125 --> 01:54:24,667
Real news.
1059
01:54:26,917 --> 01:54:28,125
On page 3.
1060
01:54:28,750 --> 01:54:30,708
"Personnel Transfers".
1061
01:54:34,333 --> 01:54:37,292
They're commissions
for infantry officers.
1062
01:54:37,458 --> 01:54:39,583
One of them is Francisco Diaz.
1063
01:54:44,500 --> 01:54:46,875
He's been posted
to the barracks in Málaga.
1064
01:54:50,208 --> 01:54:51,292
And?
1065
01:54:52,417 --> 01:54:55,000
I've known Francisco for 14 years.
1066
01:54:55,167 --> 01:54:58,708
We served in
the 17th Bourbon Regiment.
1067
01:55:04,208 --> 01:55:07,208
I know he always wanted
to be posted to Málaga.
1068
01:55:08,583 --> 01:55:10,292
So...?
1069
01:55:10,458 --> 01:55:13,333
This news can't be fake.
1070
01:55:13,500 --> 01:55:16,458
I've been going over it...
1071
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,750
and however much I rattle my brain,
1072
01:55:24,208 --> 01:55:27,042
the Filipinos couldn't have known
what it says there.
1073
01:55:27,208 --> 01:55:30,125
No. There's no way.
1074
01:55:33,208 --> 01:55:34,750
Stupid, isn't it?
1075
01:55:35,875 --> 01:55:37,875
An absurd piece of news,
1076
01:55:41,708 --> 01:55:43,333
an notice about transfers...
1077
01:55:43,500 --> 01:55:46,083
proves that the newspapers
are telling the truth.
1078
01:55:51,125 --> 01:55:53,458
- How does it feel, Lieutenant?
- I complied with
1079
01:55:53,625 --> 01:55:57,250
- the field regulations.
- I’m asking you how it feels.
1080
01:55:57,417 --> 01:55:59,208
I may have been wrong, Carlos.
1081
01:55:59,792 --> 01:56:02,875
I may have made mistakes,
but my conscience is clear.
1082
01:56:09,125 --> 01:56:10,458
Then say it.
1083
01:56:13,292 --> 01:56:14,375
Say:
1084
01:56:15,458 --> 01:56:17,625
"The Filipinos were right.
1085
01:56:19,667 --> 01:56:22,792
The newspapers
were telling the truth."
1086
01:56:24,833 --> 01:56:25,833
Say it.
1087
01:56:25,958 --> 01:56:27,750
We lost the war, Carlos.
1088
01:56:27,917 --> 01:56:31,125
Our army surrendered and we lost.
1089
01:56:31,292 --> 01:56:34,708
That's the only truth.
1090
01:56:58,750 --> 01:57:02,750
JUNE 2, 1899
ELEVEN MONTHS OF SIEGE
1091
01:57:06,750 --> 01:57:10,000
We've got nothing white.
I suppose it'll do.
1092
01:57:21,292 --> 01:57:24,167
Go to the courtyard and sound
assembly and surrender.
1093
01:57:28,542 --> 01:57:29,750
You raise the flag.
1094
01:58:32,417 --> 01:58:34,708
Commander.
1095
01:58:35,042 --> 01:58:36,375
Lieutenant.
1096
01:58:36,542 --> 01:58:38,708
This is the surrender order.
1097
01:58:41,417 --> 01:58:44,375
I only have one condition,
and I will not budge on this.
1098
01:58:44,958 --> 01:58:46,292
I'm listening.
1099
01:58:47,417 --> 01:58:50,292
We will not be taken prisoner
or hand over our weapons.
1100
01:58:50,458 --> 01:58:53,750
- You think we seek vengeance?
- A lot of men have died.
1101
01:58:53,917 --> 01:58:57,208
More on my side than yours,
Lieutenant.
1102
01:58:57,708 --> 01:58:59,958
But my men are not
outlaws or murderers,
1103
01:59:00,292 --> 01:59:02,500
and I think we've shown you that.
1104
01:59:06,833 --> 01:59:08,875
We don't need prisoners,
1105
01:59:10,125 --> 01:59:11,750
and as for your weapons,
1106
01:59:12,375 --> 01:59:15,833
you can take them to
the end of my jurisdiction.
1107
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:17,875
After that,
1108
01:59:18,042 --> 01:59:20,292
you'll have to negotiate
with the Americans.
1109
01:59:41,125 --> 01:59:44,417
I'll ask my men to bid you farewell
with a guard of honor.
1110
01:59:49,083 --> 01:59:50,417
A guard of honor?
1111
01:59:51,458 --> 01:59:54,958
It's been four centuries, Lieutenant.
1112
02:00:11,792 --> 02:00:12,958
Lieutenant...
1113
02:00:14,292 --> 02:00:16,917
I've been going over
the death certificates.
1114
02:00:18,333 --> 02:00:21,500
I'd be grateful if the executed men
weren't listed as such.
1115
02:00:22,042 --> 02:00:24,167
I'm thinking about their families.
1116
02:00:25,542 --> 02:00:28,833
In their families
or what your superiors will say?
1117
02:00:31,542 --> 02:00:34,708
Say they died of beriberi.
1118
02:00:36,792 --> 02:00:39,750
I'll put down the real cause,
it's my duty.
1119
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:47,500
Soldiers!
1120
02:00:48,708 --> 02:00:50,208
Fix yourselves up right.
1121
02:00:52,208 --> 02:00:53,792
When you go outside...
1122
02:00:56,750 --> 02:00:58,083
look up to the sky.
1123
02:01:00,042 --> 02:01:03,625
While we're at it ask God
where He's been all this time, huh?
1124
02:01:13,042 --> 02:01:14,333
To hell with Spain!
1125
02:01:32,375 --> 02:01:33,583
This is for you,
1126
02:01:36,333 --> 02:01:38,542
a letter of exemplary conduct.
1127
02:01:41,083 --> 02:01:42,458
Is this a joke?
1128
02:01:47,583 --> 02:01:49,375
I did one for each man.
1129
02:01:52,333 --> 02:01:55,083
Your mayor will know that
you came and you fought.
1130
02:02:04,667 --> 02:02:08,417
When we get back to Spain,
I'm telling them what went on here.
1131
02:02:09,958 --> 02:02:13,417
And I hope they kick you
out of the Army.
1132
02:02:15,083 --> 02:02:17,292
If that happens,
you'll be doing me a favor.
1133
02:02:43,750 --> 02:02:45,042
Attention!
1134
02:02:46,125 --> 02:02:47,458
Forward march!
1135
02:02:48,500 --> 02:02:50,167
Route march!
1136
02:04:47,125 --> 02:04:50,958
The siege of Baler ended on
June 2, 1899, after 337 days.
1137
02:04:51,125 --> 02:04:53,958
17 Spanish soldiers died
and almost 700 Filipinos.
1138
02:04:55,417 --> 02:04:57,125
The fall of Baler signaled the end
1139
02:04:57,292 --> 02:05:00,000
of one of the greatest empires
the world has ever known
1140
02:05:00,167 --> 02:05:02,292
and it caused
a national tragedy in Spain.
1141
02:05:03,333 --> 02:05:06,167
Of the survivors, only Martin Cerezo
received the Laureate Cross,
1142
02:05:06,333 --> 02:05:08,375
the highest military distinction.
1143
02:05:09,667 --> 02:05:11,083
Despite the end of the war,
1144
02:05:11,250 --> 02:05:14,167
9000 other Spaniards remained
on the Philippines, left to their fate:
1145
02:05:14,333 --> 02:05:16,417
soldiers, priests,
civil servants and deserters
1146
02:05:16,583 --> 02:05:18,625
who stayed until well
into the 20th century.
1147
02:05:20,042 --> 02:05:25,792
Dedicated to those who participated
in the siege of Baler.
