1 00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:34,690 Artigas' fight for the freedom of his comrades enters its last act. 2 00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:45,690 Their troops have been defeated and they are now pursued by their former allies. 3 00:00:59,310 --> 00:01:18,310 The revolution sacrificed its best men. 4 00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:26,810 Where is Artigas? Where is? 5 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:34,810 Or worse, it has turned them into mortal enemies. 6 00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:40,810 Artigas! Artigas! 7 00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:18,810 I am John Roberts, a Scottish trader, financier and writer. 8 00:02:18,810 --> 00:02:24,310 But for several decades I worked in South America as a spy for the British crown. 9 00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:35,810 One of my missions was to follow in Artigas' footsteps. 10 00:02:35,810 --> 00:02:42,310 For many, a threat. 11 00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:44,310 For others, a unique leader. 12 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:50,310 The truth is that he was making a revolution within the revolution. 13 00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:59,410 But in 1820, betrayed and defeated, he was lost forever in Paraguay. 14 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:08,810 Twenty years later, I am following in their footsteps, entering the heart of the Guaraní jungle. 15 00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:16,310 So long, English Change?! 16 00:03:16,310 --> 00:03:17,310 What does English do? 17 00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:19,310 What the hell did he come for? 18 00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:24,310 To understand who this controversial character was, 19 00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:27,310 and why his ideas bothered so much, 20 00:03:27,310 --> 00:03:33,310 I interviewed collaborators, family, friends, 21 00:03:33,310 --> 00:03:36,810 but also to his enemies. 22 00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:42,810 Usually, dark and intriguing characters like Artigas 23 00:03:44,810 --> 00:03:47,310 They are always devoured by their former allies. 24 00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:54,310 Francisco Ramírez was his best heir. 25 00:03:54,810 --> 00:03:58,810 The most heroic, the most brilliant, almost a son of Don Pepe. 26 00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:04,810 He was destined to be the most important man on the coast, 27 00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:07,810 but his blood boiled too much. 28 00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:14,810 I wish Ramírez had been a little more Artiga. 29 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:17,810 And Artiga a little more Ramírez. 30 00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:22,810 A murderer of his own kind was needed 31 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:26,810 to cut off the head of the artiguista snake. 32 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:32,310 Too bad they cut it off for him later. 33 00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:56,310 Are you the bandit boss José Artigas? 34 00:04:57,310 --> 00:04:57,810 No. 35 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:59,810 I am the king of Spain. 36 00:05:00,810 --> 00:05:03,310 Artigas is that broken black man on the other side. 37 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:15,310 What does Islés do? 38 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:24,810 Don't tell me you stayed. 39 00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:26,810 For me. 40 00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:28,810 All this time. 41 00:05:33,810 --> 00:05:34,810 When was the last

casino, but... 46 00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:53,310 a Mespresso 47 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:56,310 It is a very good condiment. 48 00:05:56,810 --> 00:05:57,310 Very good. 49 00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:01,310 Did you bring me a letter? 50 00:06:03,810 --> 00:06:05,310 From Consiglio López, 51 00:06:06,310 --> 00:06:08,310 of Fructuosa Rivera 52 00:06:09,310 --> 00:06:11,310 even from General San Martín. 53

00:06:24,310 the most noble and gifted commander the Revolution had. 57 00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:27,810 in 1816 58 00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:29,810 It was a real headache. 59 00:06:30,310 --> 00:06:31,810 The panorama was desolate. 60 00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:33,810 Rondo 61 00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:36,810 had lost Alto Perú in the disaster 62 00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:37,810 in Cipe-Cipe. 63 00:06:44,810 --> 00:06:46,810 While in the coastal provinces 64 00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:50,810 Artigas' intransigence 65 00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:52,810 and its local leaders 66 00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:55,810 They had generated a terrible war with Buenos Aires. 67 00:06:56,810 --> 00:06:59,810 in the middle of all that 68 00:07:00,810 --> 00:07:02,810 independence had to be declared. 69 00:07:04,810 --> 00:07:05,810 If we didn't do it 70 00:07:07,810 --> 00:07:09,810 the United Provinces were going to be lost 71 00:07:09,810 --> 00:07:10,810 forever. 72 00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:16,810 The country was divided in two. 73 00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:20,810 If at the last minute Córdoba does not move away from Artigas 74 00:07:20,810 --> 00:07:23,810 and decides to send its deputies to the Congress of Tucumán 75 00:07:24,810 --> 00:07:27,310 It would have been very difficult to declare independence. 76 00:07:27,310 --> 00:07:28,310 The Congress of Tucumán 77 00:07:28,310 --> 00:07:30,310 It had too many contradictions. 78 00:07:31,310 --> 00:07:33,310 While declaring independence 79 00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:34,310 looked impassive 80 00:07:34,310 --> 00:07:36,310 how the Portuguese invaded Montevideo. 81 00:07:37,310 --> 00:07:39,310 Invasion that was very well received 82 00:07:39,310 --> 00:07:41,310 by the rich merchants of the city 83 00:07:41,310 --> 00:07:43,310 who were fed up with Artigas. 84 00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:43,810 by Artigas 85 00:07:51,810 --> 00:07:52,810 The only ones 86 00:07:52,810 --> 00:07:54,810 who remained rejecting the invasion 87 00:07:54,810 --> 00:07:56,810 They were Don Pepe's militias 88 00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,810 who did not stop receiving instructions 89 00:07:58,810 --> 00:07:59,810 from his barracks. 90 00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:11,310 The ideas of Artiguismo 91 00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:12,310 they expand 92 00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:14,310 like wildfire 93 00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:16,310 and that's why 94 00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:17,310 it is necessary 95 00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:18,310 fight them 96 00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:20,310 with a total war. 97 00:08:20,310 --> 00:08:40,800 The army of the Brazilian Empire 98 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,800 blood and fire enter 99 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,800 to the Eastern Band. 100 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,300 While in Santa Fe 101 00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,300 the Buenos Aires troops 102 00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,300 They advance on the coastal provinces. 103 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:54,300 In Buenos Aires 104 00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:56,800 an old ally of Artigas 105 00:08:57,300 -->

00:28:32,190 --> 00:28:34,730 That was the drama of the American people. 674 00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:36,930 He faced righteous men 675 00:28:36,930 --> 00:28:39,310 who only wanted good and freedom, 676 00:28:40,090 --> 00:28:41,230 according to your own vision. 677 00:28:53,090 --> 00:28:54,730 If you see any of my men, 678 00:28:57,450 --> 00:28:58,670 Tell him you didn't find me. 679 00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:03,190 What am I 680 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:07,270 a shadow lost in the Paraguayan jungle. 681 00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:16,830 The truth is that I didn't like it. 682 00:29:44,830 --> 00:30:05,770 To Commander José Artigas. 683 00:30:08,570 --> 00:30:12,210 After so many years of traveling through South America, 684 00:30:12,730 --> 00:30:13,890 I have returned to my home 685 00:30:13,890 --> 00:30:15,950 where I hope to end my days. 686 00:30:18,050 --> 00:30:18,990 Who was Encina? 687 00:30:23,670 --> 00:30:24,510 Echecaballo. 688 00:30:26,150 --> 00:30:27,950 They brought a letter from their friend Inglé. 689 00:30:28,810 --> 00:30:29,190 Read it. 690 00:30:30,410 --> 00:30:32,570 In all these years of working 691 00:30:32,570 --> 00:30:36,490 between patriots, mercenaries and traitors, 692 00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:41,390 I have never heard so many infamies 693 00:30:41,390 --> 00:30:42,610 about the same man. 694 00:30:43,890 --> 00:30:45,950 And at the same time, 695 00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:49,770 No one aroused so much love among his countrymen. 696 00:30:53,290 --> 00:30:57,130 No other American left such a deep mark 697 00:30:57,130 --> 00:31:01,350 in the conscience of your people like you, friend Artigas. 698 00:31:04,670 --> 00:31:06,730 While my last wish on the conscience of your son, 699 00:31:06,730 --> 00:31:14,730 There was no need to make him give up his exile. 700 00:31:16,770 --> 00:31:18,830 In Montevideo, in Montevideo, 701 00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:23,950 in Montevideo, Paisandú, Arroyo de la China, Yapeyú or the missions, 702 00:31:23,950 --> 00:31:28,510 you still ride alongside your orientals. 703 00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:37,670 Therefore, die peacefully, Commander Artigas, 704 00:31:37,910 --> 00:31:41,330 who won the biggest battle 705 00:31:41,330 --> 00:31:44,530 which is that of time. 706 00:31:46,930 --> 00:31:47,610 Your honor 707 00:31:47,610 --> 00:31:50,150 and his greatness 708 00:31:50,150 --> 00:31:53,170 have been restored. 709 00:32:02,810 --> 00:32:03,930 Bring my horse.
