Oppression and tyranny
stung the Mexican People.

Slavery was increasingly rampant
in the large latifundium...

...small haciendas
and small towns...

...that didn't yet appear in
maps of reason or man's rights.

The many laborers,
stoic and submissive...

...bit off their
ignominy in silence...

...as they accumulated blows and
abuse from the privileged cast.

Suddenly, a libertarian desire
thundered in the whole Republic.

The outcry for social justice,
raised in one single cry...

...rumbled through mountains and
valleys until it got lost...

...in the farthest ranges, where
legions of valiants burst out.

They were ignored peasants whose
blood fertilized the plains...

...of the North and watered the
exuberant lands of the South.

The Caudillos surged from there.

The blood of these crude obscure
men, freedom giants, nursed...

...the social structure
of a new Motherland, of...

...a new and fruitful Mexico,
invigorated and progressive.

This is a dramatic episode...

...of these turbulent
and confused times.

It's the story of a love that
was dragged through...

...the whirlwind
of the Revolution.

Everything is exactly
as planned, Gabriela.

I hope this won't have
bad consequences for you.

Tell me it won't, Montero.

You know that for you
I don't mind taking any risk.

THE HIDDEN ONE

To your posts!

You still have time
to change your mind, Gabriela.

The step you're taking
is decisive.

I understood that
from the very beginning.

Good.

Whatever may happen, you
can count on me to help you.

In spite of everything, know
that I will always wait for you.

Thank you.

Ready!

Aguamiel, my girl?

Just out of the plant.

Don't you want a little jar?

It's very fresh, my girl.

Come on, buy it. I'll make
the cross thinking of you.

Come on, lady.

Don't be bad, my girl.

Buy this fresh Aguamiel.

C'mon, darling. It's real fresh.
C'mon, my girl.

C'mon, my girl. Buy some.

You know you can't come up here.
It's forbidden.

Come on through, pretty,
come on through.

Aguamiel, fresh aguamiel.

Where are you going?

Don't insist. You can't
come through. Keep going.

How come you let her through?
Aren't we all the same?

Keep going. Keep going.

To get in we have to
let men have their way.

Aguamiel!
Fresh aguamiel! Aguamiel!

All aboard!

So? What do you want?

Just don't come back to
the station, Gabriela.

Because of your boy games
and shameful behavior...

...the rest of us don't sell.

Why don't you do the same?
You've got the same I do.

You had me
so worried, Gabriela.

I saw the train leaving
and I didn't see you coming.

I was delayed
at the train station.

Somebody hurt you. Who was it?

Who else?

The other women that don't like
that I sell more than anyone.

If I could, I wouldn't go back.

But since I don't have
a man that's worth it...

...nothing changes.

And me? Who do you think I am?

I just don't want to stay here,
Felipe! I don't want to!

Only you know
what you're doing, Felipe.

Even among the poor
we are like rabid dogs.

The women hit Gabriela again.

The truth is that she's as
conceited as her blonde mother.

And the other ones
don't like it.

Father, I wanted to ask you that
if we have your permission...

...Gabriela and I
want to get married...

...to end with this mess
once and for all.

It's fine by me.

I saw it coming for a long time.

The only inconvenience
is that we're so poor.

But we can always share the
hunger with one more mouth.

That's the bad thing. Gabriela
came out like her mother.

Wanting to be like finer people
and live better than all of us.

Felipe will have a very hard
time getting her all she wants.

Or else tame her to live
in peace like the rest of us.

Well she's not
like that with me.

After all, we all have to push
forward in life on our own.

That's why we're men.

Whatever you say. May The Lord
be with you, Felipe.

I don't want to get involved in
what doesn't concern me, Felipe.

Gabriela is one of those
women that want to fly high.

Who knows where she'll take you.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, Gabrielita.

Who do you think
you are, old fool?

Well, you look now...

Guadalupe Martínez.

Rosalío Pérez.

Trinidad Sangtiago.

Tie them up.

He's escaping! He's running!

Stop right there!

Damned dogs!

He let them kill him
in his desperation.

Guadalupe knew
what he was doing, Máximo.

He didn't want them
to discover everything he knew.

He preferred
to let them kill him.

God help me,
but it's better this way.

See what happened when
this man was out of line?

Let this be a lesson to you all.

The Supreme Government doesn't
commit a single injustice...

...ordering us to arrest
these troublemakers.

It's proven that they conspire
against the institutions.

They've been found with
subversive propaganda at home.

But now you all know
what comes of...

...following the example
of these bad apples.

¡Don Cosme!

Give the deceased
to whomever wants it.

No questions asked.

So you all see the
government's good intentions.

Sergeant!

Take those prisoners!

Everybody to their tasks.
The Master will be here soon.

Come on!

Freeze!

Look at them. The people
that one day will govern us?

You'll agree that no one can
govern with their hands tied.

But some other way, who knows.

Don't you think?

Did they rob, kill or what?

They're the troublemakers
with politics and stuff.

That's what my Captain said.

Is there a troop
at the Hacienda?

My Captain is up front
with a cavalry squadron.

Keep going.

Petty delinquents, Madame.

However, you could
lead them more humanly.

You can give the bums a carriage
if you want them to be comfy.

So far I haven't seen the bums
losing their right...

...to be in a carriage.

Furthermore, I think they're the
only ones that have that right.

You have the most charming way
to say the worst things, Madame.

Nobody would dare
not forgive your sarcasm.

I appreciate it.
Keep going, coachman.

How I missed the Mexican air!

Everything is
so primitive and wild.

The spectacle we just witnessed
is now unique in the world.

Is it not delicious we preserve
such original traditions?

Holy Mother of God.

Amen.

- Holy Virgin of the Virgins.
- Amen.

- Jesus Christ the Martyr.
- Amén.

Let's see what
Dr. Herrerías tells us.

Let's figure out a way
that these injustices...

...don't remain without protest.

I will tell you everything
that happened, Tata Agustino.

May God be with you
and be good to you, my son.

The only protest remaining is to
go to the mountains, raise arms.

You mustn't feed
anxiety, my son.

The best thing is to wait for
the advice of Dr. Herrerías.

Go to the deceased's
house, Guadalupe...

...and tell me when
Gabriela gets back home.

I've got to wash
the damn woman with soap.

All right.

- Mother of the Divine Grace.
- Amen.

- Mother of the Creator.
- Amen.

- Mother of the Savior.
- Amen.

- Virgin of the Virgins.
- Amen.

Attention!

Attention, gentlemen! Attention!

Our charming Luisa
is going to raffle a kiss.

Gentlemen!

Gentlemen, deposit
your pledges...

...over here!

- Here's my watch. My watch!
- Gentlemen.

Don't miss this opportunity.

I'll give something, here.

For the burial of
the deceased. Thank you.

For the burial of the deceased.

Thank you.
For the burial of the deceased.

Thank you.

For the burial of the deceased.

...in my body His holiest body.

Jesus Christ was
brought down from the Cross.

Grant me this wish my Lord.

With the death
of Guadalupe Martínez...

...let his soul
rest in eternal peace.

And why didn't you do
the same thing?

Come here, girl.

Gentlemen, musicians...

...take your music elsewhere!

We're having so much fun.
Right, my Captain?

So much fun, my friend.

Dr. Herrerías is not home.
They say he went to Tehuacán.

To see Mr. Madero.

Then we'll have to
go get him right away.

I can go, Tata,
if it's all right with you.

You know I don't mind
taking risks.

You won't be able to come back.
They'll figure out why you went.

Someone will have to go,
either way.

Today they killed our Guadalupe.

Tomorrow they will
continue with us.

If I go to Tehuacán,
you'll know which way to go.

Wait for news from me here.
Nothing else matters.

It's been decided, then. We'll
start saving for your trip.

I can handle that.

Everybody will donate willingly
when they know what it's for.

Friends!

The Master's orders are
everybody goes to the Big House.

The women to grind corn and
the men to kill cows and pigs.

The visitors from the capital
are very important people.

The Master wants them to have
a pleasant stay here.

The family of the dead may stay
to give him Christian burial.

But the rest, let's go! Now!

Then we'll leave
together, Felipe?

How are we going to leave,
Gabriela, if we're not married?

Besides, I have to do it alone.

I'm sure that
the money they gather...

...will barely cover me.

I want to go wherever you go.

I wouldn't leave you
for anything.

They say you will not return
from your trip.

I'll send for you, Gabriela.

We'll get married and fight for
life the way we're supposed to.

Right now, Felipe.

You and I were born
to never separate.

If you leave me
we won't see each other again.

I have the money.

Look.

- Look at this mound of silver.
- Where did you get it from?

Come on, Felipe.

We won't tell anyone. They won't
be able to do anything later.

Where did you get that money?
Answer, Gabriela!

It's mine! I gathered it.

Take me where you are going.
Later we'll go to Mexico.

I don't want to see you
dead, like Guadalupe...

...between four candles
and a bullet in your head.

You can't leave me, Felipe.

We'll get married later.

We'll always have time for that.

You know something, Felipe?

It's like I'm burning up inside.
You too. You know it, Felipe.

- You know it.
- I know it, Gabriela.

I know it well.

And I spend days and nights
thinking about that.

Let's do what you say.
Let's do the mission together.

Give me the money and
go home to gather your things.

Meanwhile I'll get Máximo.

What else can happen to us?
We're already so unlucky.

Wait for me in your house.

Give me the 50 pesos that
you stole from me, Gabriela.

I don't know what you're
talking about. Get out!

You have nothing in this house.

Don't lie, don't lie.

You stole the money
from the Master.

But I can keep quiet.

You'll steal their money
in a way that I know.

And I don't think
it'll be unpleasant.

Leave me alone! Let me go!

I said let go! Let me go!

Damn you!

You'll pay very dearly
for all of this.

Obviously, you
don't want to fix anything.

Arrest this damn woman!

It's no good to involve
our women in our affairs.

If I don't take Gabriela,
I won't see her again, Máximo.

You know what you're doing.
But it doesn't look good to me.

Don Cosme!

The thief of the 50 missing
pesos from the store last night.

So she was the thief?

He's lying! He wanted to take
advantage of me and accused me.

Shut up!

She was left alone in the store
when the troop came yesterday.

I'm sure she was the thief.

I almost didn't catch her.

She was already
packing to take off.

She had this from
the Hacienda, empty.

But as far as the money goes,
not a trace!

Lock her up until the Master
says what to do with her.

Don't get involved, Felipe.
Remember what you have to do!

Let her go!

She doesn't owe anything.

I stole that money
to take her away. Here it is.

So it was you,
damn Indian thief.

It's not true! It's not true!

Felipe is not to blame
for anything!

Take this crook away.

Let him go, please!

Silence, and go do your work.

Don't cover up for that man. Who
knows what will happen to you.

Get out of here and
get to grinding with the others.

You too! What are
you waiting for?

I've come to ask you
to let my Felipe go.

I stole the money, Master!
Felipe doesn't owe you anything.

I don't know what you're
talking about. Who's Felipe?

What's this all about?

The Indian thief that stole the
money from the store, Master.

It was me, Master!
I'm the only one to blame.

Don't arrest him, please.

That prisoner is your man, girl?

He was going to be, ma'am. We
were going to marry these days.

Captain!

I have no accusation
against that man.

Just make him join the line.
It'll be a lesson.

He'll also learn
to be a useful citizen.

It's the most
I can help you, woman.

Two years marching is not much.

But if they send him to
the National Valley...

...you may not see him again.

Felipe is innocent!

And don't think I'm thankful
at all for what you did.

Don't you think the insolence of
that creature is magnificent?

Una muchacha preciosa.
Congratulations on the find.

And for being able
to delegate justice.

If I don't come back, Gabriela?

If you want
I'll kill myself, Felipe.

I'll throw myself
before the train right here...

...so you can see me and you
don't have to worry about me.

Wait for me, Gabriela.
Wait for me to come back.

Two years will fly by.

Gabriela!

Good-bye, Felipe!

Máximo!

Tuerto!

Arenas!

Tata!

I came back!

It's me!

Dressed like a Fed
you don't look the same.

How goes it, Manco?

- What'd you got to say, Salomé?
- I'm good, Sergeant.

And you, kiddo?
When are you gonna grow?

How are you, Tuerto?

What's new, Máximo?

I'm taking off this damn uniform
so you look at me nice.

I'm licensed, but
I'm not going back to the Feds.

I have a plan
I'll tell you later.

The government is sending lots
of baldies around these parts.

Who knows what evil
intentions they harbor?

They are all from
the troops of General Garza.

The new governor who'll drive
Porfirio Díaz to scandal.

They're afraid
there'll be risings around here.

The snowball already
started in the North...

...headed by
Don Francisco Madero.

They're sending these ones
against Zapata.

Someone beat us, because they're
up in arms around Zacatelco.

Yes, I know. That's why I came.

To see how we can
come to an agreement with them.

It would be good to gather
all the friends at night.

Well, now excuse me.

You have a very important affair
that you may already figure.

Let's see if Gabriela
recognizes me dressed like this.

Wait, my son!

It's useless for you to go.

What happened to Gabriela?

Tell it to me straight,
no matter how bad it was.

Even her own Tata
I think died of sadness.

And her? What happened to her?

She left after
they took you away.

She left with
the fancy people...

...God knows where, we haven't
heard a word from her.

So she didn't want to
wait for me.

- She left with them.
- With who?

With someone,
but no one knew who.

She must be rolling around. What
else would they take her for?

You'd better
forget about her, my son.

Leave me alone, father.

Later I'll catch up to talk
and see what there is to do.

But now leave me
alone for a while.

We are muleteers

We just keep on walking

And everyone

Will get what they deserve

The Revolution
has spread everywhere.

General Villa in the North,
Emiliano Zapata in the South.

Now I think we'll get ours.
They're townspeople.

Same as us.

Right, son?

I didn't hear your words, Tata.

But I do know that the sooner we
finish with those damn fruits...

...that cause
our misery, the better.

You'll be relieved to know
that while you were out...

...we the men of Vergel
were not sleeping.

Come here and see.

These are the few
weapons we've got.

And a few more at Dr. Herrerías'
there at Tlaxcala.

He'll hand them over
when the time is right.

Count on me, Tata.

Excuse me if I assumed
you had your arms crossed.

Hello, Tata Agustino.

What can I help you with
at this late hour?

My Captain comes with
an urgent matter.

How come there's so much
people gathered in here?

We're here for the joy of seeing
my son, who just came back.

How come you are not
wearing your uniform?

I have a license, my Captain.

It says it here.

- You got to Sergeant.
- But no honors, my Captain.

I still have
many levels ahead of me.

OK.

What I came here for.

Orders from the top.

All the men in the Hacienda
must gather tomorrow...

...at sunrise
in front of the Big House...

...to go to Tlaxcala
to receive the new Governor.

My Division General,
Nemesio Garza.

See that you're not missing
any of your men, Tata Agustino.

Whomever doesn't show up
will be severely punished.

That goes for you too, Felipe!

We should distribute the weapons
right now among the laborers...

...and take over the Hacienda
and not suffer this humiliation.

We must have patience.

Pretty soon everything
will be reversed.

Let's go.
In case they come back.

You asked me for love

And I loved you

You asked me for...

Calm down, son. Stop thinking.

And after all

You leave

All right, leave

And may the sadness

Be with you
Like it is with me

We are muleteers

We just keep on walking

If you want
I'll kill myself, Felipe.

I'll throw myself
before the train right here...

... so you can see me.

You didn't do it, damn you.

- Long live General Garza!
- Hooray!

- Long live General Garza!
- Long live the General!

Welcome to the Hacienda.

It's very nice of you to come.

We hope there's only glory
in everything you do.

Your country welcomes you.

Are you afraid of your memories?

That's absurd.

For me the past doesn't exist.

It's more than dead.

Gentlemen.

I, as a soldier,
have had one motto in my life.

Order and work.

Order and work is what I seek
to implant and develop here.

It's so silly that Garza
accepted this position.

He doesn't want to understand,
it's a political maneuver...

...to keep him away from Mexico.

It's what I detest about coming
back to this place I hate.

Think of it as a transition to
which you must resign yourself.

It looks like
I don't have a choice...

...while I convince Garza
that now, precisely...

...he must and can aim higher.

- ¡Long live General Garza!
- ¡Hooray!

Tlaxcala has the honor to host
of the hero of the Yaqui War.

Thank you, Mr. Ariza.

Mr. President of
the Justice High Court.

Mr. President of
the Local Congress.

Mr. Tax Collector.

This way, General.

I understand that Garza
must play the harmless card.

But there's no need
to exaggerate.

Time is more important
now than ever.

All of Mexico is talking about
the President's resignation.

You ended up being more than
I thought in the beginning.

Now you take me, and I follow.

It wouldn't be unlike you to be
the First Lady of the country.

Even if you had to be a
clandestine First Lady.

Clandestine?

Who knows?

In due time,
I would expect marriage.

The man won't have a choice.

The carriage awaits, Gabriela.

I'm afraid it'll have to
wait a little longer.

Everybody has
their way of escaping.

I don't know if Hortensia's
is the most advisable.

But I forgive her.

The poor thing gets bored.

Not you.

I think you don't lack reason.

In my case, boredom
is a necessary evil.

You could also find
a way to escape.

I'm not trying to escape
from anything.

Is it possible that
you truly love the General?

Definitely not.

Absolutely not.

I love you
desperately, Gabriela.

I'm crazy about you.

I like you Colonel.

I'm telling you this with
my most sincere cynicism...

...but I'm not the sort to ever
take small risky adventures.

You'll never be able to love
anyone in your life, Gabriela.

No one.

Well, my Colonel.

I have loved
like you can't imagine.

Help me out with Hortensia.

Before I get more sentimental.

Wasn't the Governor a widower?

Then she's his pastime?

As far as war efforts...

...we hace reduced
in Tlaxcala...

...the group of troublemakers
that operate Zacatelco.

They're ignorant Indians
with no significance.

There's lots of
ignorant Indians in Mexico.

In spite their ignorance, they
have been a constant headache.

I know. I fought against
the wild Yaquis of Sonora.

I assure you that was no picnic.

They're nothing but
troublemakers and drunks.

They just want to rob and kill
with no plan or principles.

Really?

Then how come they defeated the
forces of the 11th Battalion?

Speak to me clearly, Ariza.

Are they isolated outlaws
or are they a military problem?

Learn one thing, Ariza.

For politics, war,
for everything.

Never consider an enemy small.

We're going to
shred them to pieces.

A message for you, my General.

Don't think being in a place
like this is a sacrifice for me.

I don't mind it
one way or the other.

I don't believe you.

Although I would prefer
some champagne.

If I were you,
I'd try to have a little fun.

Colonel Montero
wouldn't be bad at all.

This is not Paris, Hortensia.

This is the land to be governed
by the unbeaten Patricio...

...whose name is
blessed by history...

...and whose motto is,
"Order and work".

I find it amusing that you make
fun of my investiture.

But I'm not amused at
the life you led in Paris.

Come on. Don't tell me
you're jealous of the past.

I'm going to have to leave you
here in Tlaxcala a few days.

I received a telegram from
Puebla's Governor asking me...

...for an urgent
political interview.

I'll leave tomorrow.

OK. What do I do
in the meantime?

The narrow-mindedness
of these provincials...

...has a few peculiarities.

You know we barely arrived here.

They're already talking about
me having a hidden one.

A hidden woman.

That's what they call me?
The Hidden One?

Charming.
Especially because it's true.

I wouldn't have told you,
but you understand...

Of course, of course.

It's not important whatsoever.

What will I do
while you're gone?

A little knitting?

Take music lessons?

Or look for a lover?

Gabriela!

Don't give me that fierce look.

Don't you worry
leaving me alone.

The Hidden One, First Lady of
the State, will grow used to it.

Please, Gabriela.

You know my situation
will change in no time.

Then we'll do whatever you want.

- Everything I want?
- Everything you want.

- Everything?
- Yes.

Well, you may start by
handing me the towel.

Excuse me, is the doctor in yet?

He said that after the hospital
he'd come here.

- That you should wait for him.
- Thank you.

Sit, Tata.

The congress systematically
supports the Executive in all...

...to avoid any
conflict in power.

Correct, my dear delegate?

And as President of Congress,
to avoid messy negotiations...

...I see that the delegates
approve with their signatures...

...the initiatives
of the Executive.

This way we skip useless
sessions and red tape.

That's a very sensible attitude.

It's even patriotic.

You were talking
about Dr. Herrerías.

In spite of his social influence
he doesn't do politics, right?

However, I hear he doesn't do
our politics, but his own...

...with a certain stench
of Maderista opposition.

- Is that right?
- Right.

Herrerías likes to
boast of his independence.

- Is he here?
- He didn't come.

- He's against being noticed.
- We'll make sure of that.

I'll have him called to make
him define himself today.

- Let's go to the table.
- Excuse me, General.

The President of
the Court of Justice...

...wants to submit
for your consideration...

...his speech for the banquet.

I want to start a government
with no speeches.

My motto is... You know it.

You shouldn't commit the same
imprudences than in Zacateco.

I hope your impulses don't take
you to sterile sacrifices.

I sincerely advise you to wait.

There's a considerable political
change that will allow us...

...to accomplish
our goals peacefully.

Excuse me, doctor.

I think that the ones on the top
will not listen to reason...

...unless we make them
see it forcefully, with guns.

It's important to have
patience for a little longer.

Three or four months.

If after that
we see no change...

...l'll be the first to hand you
the weapons for a serious move.

Whatever you say, doctor.

But I see that my son's words
are well thought out.

They speak of our desire,
those who feel in our flesh...

...the suffering of the people.

Doctor.

What do you want?

An officer is looking for you.

Let him in.

The Governor requests
your presence...

...in the palace immediately.

Tell the General
I'll be right there.

Are they going
to arrest you, doctor?

Don't worry, Felipe.

The Governor calling me
is significant for our plans.

If they wanted to arrest me they
would've done it already.

Wait for my return.

If I take long,
look for me tomorrow.

The Doctor's words
don't sit well with me.

Gabriela!

Gabriela!

We'll rise, whatever happens!

Let's talk once and for all to
those that have already agreed.

Máximo, go to
Carolina's factory.

My Tata and I to Vergel.

And you tell everyone in
the Concepción Hacienda...

...that they're also one of us.

Let's join the ones in Zacatelco
to see how to make the move...

...right here in Tlaxcala.

We won't lose.

Bring your weapons!

With what we have, we'll revolt
and find them wherever they are.

What are we doing?
There's nothing to do here.

Let's go!

Speak, woman.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with you?

I asked you
several times. Answer.

We'll leave tomorrow for Puebla.

Then to Mexico right away.
Whether he wants it or not.

I won't remain here
one more minute.

Prepare our things.

Let's go, Tata!

Tell me where you're hiding
The woman I love

The woman I love

I love her because I love her
A little more than my own life

Even if you hide her well
I'll find The Hidden One

I'll find The Hidden One

The poor look after the Copper
The rich after our disdain

The love of The Hidden One
Is for damned men

Take it easy, Gabriela. You let
yourself be too impressionable.

I hate all of this!

Felipe surrounded by smoke.
Like a ghost out of his grave.

Like a remorse, an accusation.

It's this awful land.

The loneliness you
feel in the weight of the air...

...and this
never-ending landscape...

...that makes me feel defeated.

I had never seen you
lose control like this.

You need a drink.

I'd be calm knowing
Felipe was far...

...or maybe even dead.

Yes, dead.

Like everything else
I wanted to leave behind.

We'll leave it behind
again, Gabriela.

This is but a passing incident
that must not worry you.

You're right, give me a drink.
I'm very shaky.

I think you are wrong, General.

My pride in my life is to have
always remained independent.

It is the insistence on that
independence of opinion that...

...shortens lives, doctor.

I'm about to turn 50.

It makes me think that
if I have lived this long...

...I must be
an exception to the rule.

Only to a point, my friend.

I must tell you, if I wanted
you to join me in this trip...

...it wasn't to hear
your ingenious phrases...

...but to have you close to me.

Virtually a prisoner.

You may do as you wish,
my General.

Don't take things
so tragically, doctor.

You are to be a special prisoner
whose life I am to respect...

...at all times, in hopes that
you go from being a prisoner...

...to an ally, friendly
and of course honorable.

I could never
consent to anything...

...that could nauseate
my conscience.

Good.

This is our friend
Cosme from Vergel.

He says that
some of the now armed...

...have been your protégés.

Therefore, you have a certain
moral influence among them.

I want to use this influence
to try to pacify them and...

...to avoid bloodshed.

In such case, you know
you can always count on me.

That's right.
I expected no less from you.

What's happening?

What's going on?
Why have are we stopping?

General, some criminals
destroyed the rails.

We can't keep going.

May I impart my opinion,
my General?

I think it would be better
to go back.

Go back?

Lieutenant Morales,
return to your post.

They're people from
Vergel, my General.

Brought by the old Agustín
Rojano and his son Felipe.

Do you see them, doctor?

Do you know them, doctor?

Yes, General.

Would they respect
a white flag in your hands?

Naturally.

Like I said,
I seek no bloodshed.

Waive it.

The bastards want peace.

Either they have no protection
or there's few of them.

I think there's four.

Who knows? The one with the
white rag is Dr. Herrerías.

Now we must trust him
less than ever.

When we see that he's with them.

When you no longer believe in
the sincerity of good men...

...you no longer believe
in the Revolution.

I'll go first.
Everybody else, stay here!

What should I propose to them?

First let him get closer.

Machine gunners! Fire!

Go back! Go back all of you!

It's a trap!

LUGGAGE

Go back, you said?

Cease fire.

Traitors!

Cowards!

Assassins!

Surrender, Felipe Rojano!

Put your hands up
and come closer!

Do you hear me, Rojano?

Nemesio! Nemesio!

Calm down, dear. It's all over.

A slight quarrel with a bunch of
bandits that fled like rats...

...with a couple of shots.

I'll be with you right away.

Where's the rest?
Who's the boss?

Where did you get
the weapons? Answer!

So you don't want to talk.

Now I'm asking you politely.
You don't know what awaits you.

Captain Romero.

Take this man,
and look for a good guard.

- I don't need to tell you how.
- Yes, my General.

- You know how to do it.
- Very well, my General.

Take the prisoner.

Get going!

General, in spite of
the troop's help...

...the rails will take time
to be ready.

The detached piece
is very large.

Do whatever you need to finish
as soon as possible.

Yes, my General.

It's the last chance you have
to answer my questions.

Otherwise we'll leave you
to be eaten alive by vultures.

You can't do anything
with this stubborn Indian.

Let him rot!

What's wrong with you?
Aren't you ever going to finish?

There's only one more piece
to secure, my General.

Now we'll go ahead
and try the bridge.

We're moving, Hortensia.

This means that
everything's been fixed.

Felipe.

Felipe!

Felipe.

What are you doing here?

Go back to your place!

Give orders to start
the train immediately.

That's what I came to tell you.

The whole crew
abandoned the train.

Go back.

My General, the standing crew
has taken to the machine guns.

Change of plans.
The mob will get here soon.

You must not fall
into their hands alive. Here.

To defend yourself
would be useless.

That bullet is for you,
at the very end.

When there's
no other alternative.

Shooters, stand-up position!

Get ready...

...aim...

...fire!

Who's gonna pay respect to them?

I think they are
are the only ones left.

I put the advances
in all the points, boss.

They're finishing up
the burial of the dead.

So whenever you say,
we'll get the train going.

I think we just have
enough to go to Verger.

We won't have enough people
to go to Puebla y Tlaxcala.

Fine.

It's what I thought.

Tell them to bury
all the dead very deep...

...so the coyotes
won't dig them out.

Did you kill all of them?

All of them, Felipe.

I just wouldn't be able to tell
you first and last names...

...because we couldn't
really gather a proper list.

But next time I'll make sure
that formality is taken care of.

No one is still alive?

I know what
you really mean, Felipe.

I left her alive for you.

I wouldn't have the malice
to keep her from you.

You must be eager to kill her
with your own hands.

Who are you talking about?

Gabriela, of course.

Who else?

We found the other one
dead inside.

She'll finally get
her punishment.

Where's Gabriela?
Where's that woman?

I gave her the Express carriage
for a prison.

There's your weapon.

Give her what she deserves.

Later you can
heal me more, Tuerto.

Right now I need to
alleviate my soul.

Felipe is a piece
of man, really.

He loves that wretched woman...

...and it will be very hard
to keep him straight.

Leave.

Kill me once and
for all, Felipe.

I'm right here.

Gabriela.

Felipe.

Your bed must be made of stone

Of stone your grave must be

The woman who loves me

Has to really love me

Heart, why won't you love?

The day I get killed

I hope it's five shots

And to be close to you

In your arms

Heart, why won't you love?

I want a straw mat
Instead of a box

Instead of a cross
I want myself

To write over my grave

My last good-bye
With a thousand bullets

Heart, why won't you love?

Let's go!

The Feds! Here come the Feds!

There's a train
coming the other way.

Get them ready for combat!

Tuerto! Everybody
in their places!

They want to repeat
their betrayal.

They must think
we're real stupid.

We should open fire, Felipe,
so they're not ahead of us.

None of that, Máximo.

If he comes out alone,
I'll come out the same.

Colonel Octavio Montero.

Felipe Rojano is my name. I'm
listening, Colonel. What is it?

My General, Porfirio Díaz,
has resigned to his presidency.

There's a provisional government
with whom Francisco Madero...

...has signed for peace.

The Revolution has ended and is
triumphant in the whole country.

How can you prove to me that
this is not yet another trap...

...from the federal agents?

It's here, in these documents.

And if it's not enough, I've
been told to follow your orders.

Our respective contingents
will enter Tlaxcala together.

This will demonstrate
Tlaxcala's attitude.

Finally there's a signed peace
and harmony amongst Mexicans.

No tricks, my Colonel?

I will disband my troop
to let you through, Colonel.

I'll meet you at
the Gutiérrez Junction.

We won, boys! We won!

Don Porfirio fell!

Long live the Revolution!

Long live Madero!

Long live Mexico!

They must have
tricked Mr. Madero.

I don't understand how they can
ask us to stop fighting...

...before we get
anything we're fighting for.

Now that Mr. Madero
is President...

...he'll start giving
the people everything we want.

They won't abandon the Feds.

How can the Feds prosecute us
like animals yesterday...

...and kill our brothers and now
behave like helpless lambs?

I think that there's something
rotten in all of this, Felipe.

Good-bye. Go your way.
I'll follow mine.

Máximo! I demand that
you follow my orders!

I'm your superior.

My only superiors
are the people I fight for.

Them!

All the barefoot
and hungry Indians...

...that want to be treated
like Christians and be saved.

I'm going with my people!

Then you want to
become my enemy.

Speak, and our souls
will be divided.

Be careful, Felipe.
You may regret what you do.

They are my people.
And we won't shed our own blood.

The Revolution is too large for
us to pretend to be above it.

Leave, then, Máximo.

And thank you for
giving me a hand.

Had you or I been missing...

...who knows what would've
happened with all of this.

I want you to know that
I am not leaving as your enemy.

But we have chosen
opposing sides.

That has nothing to do
with friendship.

One thing is clear.

If I find you again
making this little sense...

...either you shoot me
or I'll shoot you.

That's the law
of these things! Let's go!

Had you killed him today, no one
would've moved a finger to help.

It's the the kind of thing that
imposes one man over the rest.

But you missed your chance.

God doesn't want me to kill him.

Gabriela.

Help me put this on.

I can't believe
that we're together.

It couldn't be any other way.

While there's still
One last hope

I'm going to enjoy
That happiness

While there's still
Music in my soul

I will love you

Love of my life

While I can still
Breathe this air

While there's still
Blood running in my veins

While there's still
Life in my brain

I will love you

Love of my life

You'll see
That you'll be

What no one else
Has ever been to me

Because you
To me

You are my soul
My soul, my love and my faith

Who is it?

- Tuerto, my General.
- What do you want?

General Montero
is looking for you.

I'm coming.

May I help you, General?

Your former 2nd Lieutenant
Máximo Tepal...

...attacked the Vergel
Hacienda yesterday...

...and exterminated
all its inhabitants...

...indulging in all sorts of
excess, according to the record.

Maybe that's what
the record says.

But I say that Máximo
delivered justice.

You don't know how they
mistreated us peons in Vergel.

Things can no longer be judged
from that standpoint, General.

Even less now. You're part of
a legally established regime.

I don't know about those things.

But if Máximo didn't second me,
he must've had his reasons...

...just like I have mine.

Trust me, they're both valid.

Máximo Tepal, as a
revolutionary chief who...

...to the authorities is still
part of your forces, General...

...has violated the Peace Pact
and has become a traitor.

For you haven't yet dismissed
him publicly and officially.

Otherwise, if you don't fight
him as instructed by...

...the War Department...

...you yourself
will be considered a traitor...

...and I will be forced
to apprehend you!

You won't be forced to
do anything!

Because I'd shoot you first.
I give the orders here!

According to the Pact
you mentioned...

...here I represent
the Revolution!

Leave my presence immediately!

General, my forces are here
in the Palace on the alert.

Think about your decision...

...and I'll be back in an hour
to find out what you resolved.

I'm under your orders.

Conceited bastards!
Always the same!

They screw everything up
with words.

I understand that Máximo
thinks different from me.

But we both help the people.

We're revolutionaries
and fight for the same things.

What Máximo did in Vergel
we were going to do together.

For that he had my approval.

Now this General Montero
comes to tell me that...

...Máximo has become a traitor.

Máximo is my traitor,
not theirs.

Calm down, Felipe.

You have to see things
how they really are.

You don't seem to understand
what's been happening.

What? I'm not understanding?

They want me to fight
against Máximo. It's very clear.

I fought with Máximo
because he wouldn't obey me.

They're sending me to fight him
for reasons that aren't mine.

I can't allow that, Gabriela.

There's something much more
important you must understand.

That you are, we are prisoners.

What are you saying?
You and I? Prisoners?

There's a Pact,
signed by Mr. Madero.

Then those bastards
deceived us again!

If that's the case,
let them shoot me, but fighting!

Don't do anything crazy.

What you have to do
is meet with Máximo.

Otherwise, here they will
consider you a rebel.

Don't fight him.

Go talk to him and convince him
to come back with you.

I'll stay here, to assure them
of your good intentions.

Felipe.

If you decide to stay there...

...l'll go meet with you.

Wherever you are...

...and however you are.

Even if it's in Hell.

Because you and I have
one and the same destiny.

Gabriela.

Attention!

No, Felipe.

It's not just you and me
and the people of Vergel...

...that want to improve things.

It's all the poor of Mexico.

It's all the Mexicans.

We must accomplish this,
no matter who falls.

What do we gain
if I become General...

...and I dress like you?

With the same uniform than
those that killed your father.

The Revolution was triumphant
when Mr. Madero recognized it.

Later the rest will come.

The handing over
of the land, justice...

That's what
Dr. Herrerías thought.

And look at how he ended up.

Very well.

I can see that my reasons
are not convincing you...

...nor yours convincing me.

It hurts me to think that
even if you don't fall...

...you'll end up an enemy.

Because if today
they sent you against me...

...tomorrow it'll be another, to
shed the blood of your brothers.

See how people
gather from all over?

They're peons
from all the Haciendas.

Many of them are just like us.

Everybody!

Let's go take Tlaxcala!

Now we're stronger than ever!

Now nobody can stop us!

- Long live Emiliano Zapata!
- Hooray!

Manco!

Give him your horse to
my General, Felipe Rojano.

From now on he's our boss!

Long live Felipe Rojano!

Long live Emiliano Zapata!

Todos! Viva Felipe Rojano!

Whenever you say, Felipe!

- Let's go to Tlaxcala!
- Let's go!

And long live Emiliano Zapata!

Manco! Tuerto!

Take 100 men
and attack that train.

It looks damn pretty in flames.

Tuerto and Manco
really deserve their promotion.

They're true bad guys.

Felipe, Gabriela
is on that train.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Gabriela!

Gabriela.

You asked me for love

And I loved you

You asked me for my life
And I gave it to you

After all you're leaving

Go ahead, leave

I hope sadness

Fills you like it fills me

We're muleteers

FIN

We just keep on walking
