(Αρσενικό αφηγητής) Η μεξικανική επικράτεια είναι το σπίτι για χιλιάδες έποικοι των ΗΠΑ.

Οι εντάσεις αυξάνονται καθώς Comanche και Karankawa

παλέψει για να κρατήσει τα εδάφη τους.

Παράνομοι περιφέρονται ελεύθερα,

και οι σκλάβοι που αλιεύονται σε διασταυρούμενα πυρά.

Ο Πρόεδρος των ΗΠΑ Andrew Jackson

διστάζει να παρέμβει,

και το Τέξας δεν έχει άλλη επιλογή

αλλά για να δηλώσουν το ίδιο ανεξάρτητο έθνος.

Λιγότεροι, Γενική Σαμ Χιούστον

Δημοκρατία Στρατού Τέξας

και σκόπευσης εταιρείας Steve Ώστιν

είναι το μόνο που στέκονται ανάμεσα στην τυραννία Σάντα Άννα

και την ανεξαρτησία.

Τέξας στις φλόγες? η Alamo σε στάχτη.

Πρωτοπόροι, Μεξικανοί, Texans,

Ινδοί, στρατιώτες, δεν έχουν άλλη επιλογή ...

την καταπολέμηση της ή να πεθάνουν.

Got to get your rest, Sam.

You're so peaked;

General.

Any word from the rangers?

No, sir.

I have an army of untrained, undisciplined,

ill-equipped men and not enough of 'em.

That's why I can't sleep.

You got this wound 20-some odd years ago,

and it still festers?

Damn it.

Huh? Yes.

1814-- Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

Musket ball.

Caught a red stick arrow in the groin there too.

Thanks to the Great Spirit, my manhood remained intact.

[chuckles]

Little chips of splintered bone

still working their way out.

I sent Bowie to Travis with an order

to blow up the Alamo, abandon it.

I can't imagine what a trial it must be

to live with this.

Sir, Baker and Sherman

are still waiting to see you.

Much obliged.

"Here to be seen seeing me" is more like it.

Αντιπροσωπεία έφτασε να πει, «Επίθεση των Μεξικανών.»

(Χιούστον) Huh, αντιπροσωπεία του!

Λοιπόν, από τον Θεό, έρχονται σε αυτή την στιγμή, αν όχι νωρίτερα.

Υπάρχει Juan SeguÃn πάρα πολύ, κύριε.

Λαμβάνοντας δεόντως υπόψη τον επείγοντα χαρακτήρα της κλήσης σας, κύριοι,

Ελπίζω ότι δεν σας πειράζει μου απαντήσετε σε μια κλήση της δικής μου.

Γενικά, εννοούμε καμία κακή σχέση.

Είμαστε απλά περίεργοι για το τι το σχέδιό σας είναι.

Έστειλα Κωφών Smith και rangering η εταιρεία του

να υποβάλει έκθεση σχετικά με την κατάσταση Alamo.

Μέχρι ακούω πίσω,

θα ήθελα να είναι βλασφημία ανόητο να καθορίσει σε οποιοδήποτε σχέδιο.

Υπάρχει μόνο ένα σχέδιο.

Επίθεση το Alamo.

Mosley, πιστεύω ότι με ξέρετε καλύτερα από μένα να αντιμετωπίσει

σαν να είμαι κάποια χαζή κάθαρμα.

(Sherman) I cannot imagine your intention

is to abandon those men, sir.

It's what Davy Crockett's promising

to keep their spirits hopeful.

Juan, how many men are we?

(Seguín) 374...

by this morning's count.

What are our supplies?

Two days of beans, no meat,

and we're certainly short of muskets, powder, and shot.

Let me understand this.

You think we ought to attack 5,000 well-armed,

well-fed Mexican veterans supported by artillery.

We do have the element of surprise, sir.

(Houston) Huh!

It does not matter how many there are.

They are only Mexicans.

Juan!

You're a fool, Mosley.

I should let Seguín here cut your tongue out.

General, what of Colonel Fannin's relief column?

George, tell them the status on Colonel Fannin.

Our courageous colonel

was on his way to the Alamo

when two wagons broke down betwixt and between.

So he decided to change course and return to Goliad.

That is all the more reason

we need to reinforce Travis and Jim Bowie.

Sam, what would your

personal compunctions lead you to do?

I will tell you what I'm not gonna do.

I'm not gonna sacrifice what little army I have

by charging pell-mell into Mexican lances.

I will not fight Santa Anna the way he wants us to fight,

nor the way you think I should.

Gentlemen,

Texas is struggling to break free

from an oppressive regime.

No.

We must fight for our independence

like George Washington and our forefathers

fought for theirs-- with speed and mobility.

Fall back.

Live to fight another day.

Deaf Smith and his rangers have the right idea.

As your commander,

I will decide when the day is right to do more.

Now that you've been elucidated,

get the hell out!

General.

- Juan. - General.

If it means anything,

your amigos at the Alamo call out to me in my dreams.

(Santa Anna) About 20 years ago,

my first campaign was in Texas,

serving with General Arredondo,

who put down a rebellion much like this one.

[bird squawking]

I call this bird Arredondo.

He's never known defeat.

Look at his eyes.

Almonte, they are mad.

I remember once, Arredondo slaughtered

over 1,000 of American pirates and wayward Tejanos,

then left their corpses to rot in the field,

unburied, for all to see and smell.

We left all of Texas

covered in tears and ashes

as a warning to whoever again

might raise their hand against Mexico.

At the time, some of us young officers

thought the general too ruthless,

you know, too unnecessarily cruel.

But we know now we were wrong.

Arredondo was not harsh enough,

and this is why we're fighting today--

because he was not harsh enough.

I will win this battle.

Θα το κερδίσει για σας.

Έτσι, σε 20 χρόνια από τώρα,

δεν θα πρέπει να οδηγήσουν τους γιους σας βορρά

για την καταπολέμηση και πάλι αυτόν τον πόλεμο,

γιατί Santa Anna, όπως Arredondo πριν από αυτόν,

δεν ήταν αρκετά άντρας για να κερδίσει μια για πάντα.

Δεν αγωνιστεί για το Τέξας.

Δεν με νοιάζει για την πολιτική.

Τότε γιατί σας αγώνα;

Είναι στο αίμα μου, όπως και αυτό το πουλί.
