Today, I'm going to talk to you about the importance of listening

to music.

The world needs love.

The only way to buildising an independent world is with love.

After that, it's very thin.

It's never of such quality.

Cicero.

Did you hear anything?

Nothing.

We have two weeks to harvest.

You pass the word.

It's not the time to be nice.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero.

Cicero.

You're a real bastard.

I'm Kolen.

Who are you?

I will be.

I will be.

What happened?

I've been through a lot.

I have to let Antelope know.

She's going to love us and support our family.

It's not easy to leave.

But I hope she'll understand.

I'll be a seamstress.

At his first flight, the maroon will be marked with the flower

of Lys.

When he arrives, we'll put it on his head.

I'll be a seamstress.

If he recedes, he'll have his ears and jaw cut off.

I thought you were smarter.

Why do you think that?

I don't know.

The evil ones never try to escape.

It's you, the Wolves, who force me to act like this.

You've broken the third rule.

What's the matter with you?

We're going to kill you.

It's stupid.

It's the law.

There's never been an execution on this land.

Make sure it never happens.

No one's ever been here.

You're the only ones here.

You're the only ones here.

What's the matter?

Shut up.

What's the matter?

Tell me what's happening.

I've been waiting for you.

I've been waiting.

Good-bye.

Greetings, my lord.

It's okay.

You don't have to go.

In the name

of God, Ram Majili, If I see you again, I will kill

you!

Father, love...

Love!

Let's go.

I will send Agne.

Don't do it!

I will send Agne.

I will tell him that you have returned.

You have returned.

You have returned.

I'll do everything to forget you, to forgive you, to love you.

Nabil!

Give me your hand.

I don't have it.

I won't give you my hand.

I won't.

You have it.

You're too young.

You're learning your trade.

If you don't want to go, you can work for them.

They don't have any money, and no one will hire you.

And if they do, we'll take care of you.

I'm going.

Your Excellency.

You're 12.

Don't give up so easily, like they did.

I'll leave it to them.

I bought a cane grinder, like they have in America.

We'll soon surpass the bourgeois.

How many slaves do you have?

Very few.

On my land, I only have three flowers and two cut ears.

My system works.

We'll see about that.

Let your slave in.

SIX MONTHS EARLIER Mr. Seron.

Our new governor wants to visit us a few days after he

arrives.

He wants to meet you.

You're the slave who speaks our language.

Will you help me understand your peers?

Of course.

Good.

Do you think the Negroes should be free?

We Negroes were created on the fifth day of creation, at the

same time as the beasts.

You, our masters, were created on the sixth day.

So we have the duty to serve you.

That's right.

Isn't it?

Tell me, Eugène, why does a slave so educated work in the

fields?

Shouldn't he be a house slave?

Sisséron has a crucial role in the Haricot organization.

And most importantly, he knows the mood of his peers.

He's precious, very precious.

The King of France appointed me to fight the Maronites.

Can you explain why so many slaves are fleeing?

I don't know.

You must have heard things.

Speak without fear, Sisséron.

Tell me.

Maybe...

labor or fatigue.

I thought you were beasts and had to work like this.

Answer me, beast.

Lower your eyes.

Lower your eyes, Negro.

Sisséron.

Leave this room, please.

I forgot to apologize.

A Negro so insolent is against nature.

How did he become literate?

I taught him everything.

Honored.

Let him continue, please.

I grew up here among the slaves.

I soon realized that some of them wanted to rise.

Sisséron was a prodigious student.

He convinced me that African Blacks belonged to the human race.

Do you know who Madame La Victoire is?

The Maronite hunter.

Who doesn't know her?

Like me, she knows the Blacks very well.

Maybe she doesn't share your views.

I don't know her level of humanism.

Spare me this word.

I've only heard of her in Paris because of the Illness of

Light.

The real illness is your blindness.

Enough.

You're a man of the past.

You're a man of the past.

How dare you?

The sons observe their father and act like them.

Your lands belong to the Crown.

You only have the concession.

What do you know?

Under my rule, there will be no more room for the front

-liners in Île-de-France.

And I hope that your bastards are better off than your son.

I'll see you soon.

You'll only think of yourself, without worrying about the consequences.

You can be proud.

Look at me.

Look at me.

We'll find Cicero.

Everything will change tonight.

From now on, you'll have no contact with each other.

I'll take away all your privileges.

You'll cut the rope like the others.

You'll no longer live with your daughter.

She'll come here, under my roof.

I beg you, Master.

I haven't heard from you in six years.

Out of my sight.

Marius.

Marius.

Take him to his cell, and come back with Colette.

I beg you, don't do this to my daughter.

You'll kill her if you insist.

I beg you.

Colette, the doctor wants to see you.

Yes.

Pati.

Pati.

Pati.

Pati.

Pati.

Let's go!

You're useless!

We lost him.

Go for the victory.

Yes, Master.

Do you understand that it is essential that you participate in this

hunt?

That the whole island is aware, even the governor.

You know my ideas, father.

You can not ask me that.

You will have it.

We have left everything for this land.

At my death, it will come back to you.

We can not afford to lose it.

And then your mother, would not she have preferred us to stay

in the woods?

I do not know.

Very well.

I will go with them.

For you, for your land.

And when I bring back Colette, renounced to punishment by the disgrace,

also think about what my mother will think.

Give me your mother.

I grant you.

And for Cicero?

Come on, you're going to finish talking?

Hero, go on.

Harder.

What are you doing, man?

Eat!

Madam.

The accountant.

You can keep your money.

Your mother no longer works for her own account, but for the

public good.

The King of France gave her a monthly pension of 600 pounds.

How long has your slave been on the run?

Ten years.

Eleven hours.

On foot or horseback?

On foot.

Which way?

The commander kept him in the Black Forest.

And who is he?

He is his father.

He refuses to speak.

Come on.

Yes, Madam.

Is this the first time your daughter has run away?

Yes, Madam.

Do you know where she is going?

No.

You don't seem to understand.

If other hunters find her before me, they will kill her.

As proof of her death, they will try to bring her head

back.

It's the custom.

For my part, I always bring back my living marrons.

Because I believe in the virtue of punishment.

For those who receive it, as for those who contemplate it.

Yes.

Then tell me where she is going, because you know it.

Well, I don't know.

I swear.

Who was she close to?

Fibomedia Midoge!

Bring me the fugitive's clothes.

She went southwest.

What do you mean?

Phibomédiame Nidogué, a legend who works for the slaves of a gang

of marrons in the south-west of Lille.

Your man will take the road with us to identify her.

Tell him to take us to the last place where she disappeared.

The police want to take over.

He's going to slow us down.

Let me ride a horse, madam, and you'll judge.

Yoro, you're coming with them.

He's running.

He's crossed the road of a man.

No, he's lost his mind.

He's calmed down.

They're going to continue their journey together.

She's no longer alone.

They're still in the same place.

They're still together.

He's calmed down.

The police have arrived.

He's in Lille now, His thoughts are all that matters.

He's lost his mind, They will end up coming out of their

hole.

Let's win this python and watch the wings around.

It's time to go.

We're wasting our time.

They're already far away.

I'm joining Joseph's life.

Be patient, my son.

Is this how you eat?

Are you a nigger too?

If we don't put manners in each of our actions, who will?

Who will show the way to the wild?

Whatever the cost, we'll serve you.

Whatever the cost, we'll serve you.

In Jesus' name.

It's time to pray.

Amen.

Amen.

These prayers make so much sense to you.

You doubt it?

You don't have to go through your opinions.

I don't have to do anything.

These prayers saved my life.

Every time I dared to doubt our Lord.

Every time I thought I didn't deserve to live.

They brought me back to the light.

And in those moments, the angels of heaven had the face of

my sons.

You know, Madam, I know your story.

I know you...

If you say another word, I'll cut your tongue.

Leave it.

I want to hear this story.

I know you were abused when you were just a child.

I know as a teenager you were forcefully married to a man

you hated.

And that you were the first woman on this island to divorce.

That's right.

Among all the settlers on this island, you may be the only

one who has known in his flesh a pain comparable to that

of slaves.

You should be the first to know that no being on this

earth deserves such horrors.

I don't know anything.

I obey my king, the law, and heaven.

The most eminent theologians have argued that African blacks had no soul.

I should question the conclusions of the Holy Catholic Church.

I know you doubt and the cry haunts you.

But ignoring them won't change anything.

Everything will be fine.

If I were you, I wouldn't be here.

I would be in my mother's arms.

I wouldn't listen to her.

If I were you, I wouldn't eat this salad.

I would burn it.

I can't.

I can't.

Sonia, stop!

Sonia!

Sonia!

We have to go back.

Trust me.

Where are you going?

They spared

me.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I work for the whites.

I'm looking for Fubu-Mujamidore.

I'm looking for my daughter.

Sit down.

Eat.

Thank you.

It's a form.

Where did you find it?

It's a form.

It's mine.

I had everything, my friend.

Everything.

I shed my blood for the whites of France.

I shed my blood here, in these islands.

And they made me a citizen.

For the whites of France.

They love me so much.

Why did you kill Marron, then?

They burned the pope who gave birth to me.

He could have killed me.

He should have.

He saved my life.

Like a good Christian would have done.

The Lord encourages us to spare him.

Like he would have spared me.

No one has ever found Fubu-Mujamidore.

Your daughter will end up abandoned.

She will want to take her mother.

Change yourself.

Pilate.

Pilate.

Pilate.

Pilate.

Pilate.

Pilate.

A branch breaks every 20 years.

The Marrons who leave for Madagascar are the ones who show the

way to others.

At the end of the road, you will find fishing boats.

They steal the whites.

And they take the sea.

The Lord walks with us.

He knows that we are on the path of the virtuous.

We should have no more doubts.

Joseph, you are right.

The Marron is here, very close.

I can feel it.

He probably joined his daughter.

And we are going to track them down.

I would not kill a Marron who spared me of his hand.

The Lord showed himself to me.

Tonight.

His hand spared you.

No.

The face of the Marron was there.

In front of me.

I read everything in his eyes.

It was his decision.

Stop.

I will stay as I am.

A Frenchman.

A black hunter.

And your son.

This trail is no longer mine.

I will bring myself back to honor his father.

And I will wait for you at home.

What are you doing?

Stay here.

Stay here.

Stay here!

You abandon me for a black man?

You abandon your mother for a black man?

You coward!

You abandon your brother?

Goodbye, she

is finished!

You come back tomorrow.

I will give you curves...

for your perfume.

Go away!

You stole my love!

Thanks.

Crossing my fingers that my eyes might catch you.

All night here.

I am afraid of Bruce Lee.

I've got all the time in the world, so tell me, do

you want to be a maroon?

Talk to me.

I can not speak.

I am a caprimon.

A caprimon is not afraid of the knife.

Where did you find this uniform?

I served the king of France.

And you, Diablesse, what taste has your life?

A taste of shit.

The sea is the pride of our island.

Our island.

Even underground, it's our island.

Not yours.

Joseph!

It's okay, it's okay.

No!

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Come on.

You have to listen to me.

I'm going to tell you what's going on.

If my lady is right, Mathie, I'm looking for my daughter.

I'm looking for my daughter.

What?

My daughter.

I'm looking...

I'm looking for my daughter.

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm not going to tell you.

I don't know what to do.

Come on.

Let's go.

I don't know what to do.

To the wall.

Let's go.

I don't know what to do.

Father, what should I do?

What I'm telling you is the truth.

I have to go back to my mother.

I'm not going back until I've told you.

I have to go back.

it's up to you.

I'm telling you, your mother has nothing left for me.

We're going to be alone.

I'm going back.

But I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

I'll see you, Sadako.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you, Sadako.

I love you.

Attack!

Attack!

Be careful!

I know my boss.

He's a good man.

Don't worry.

I'll help you.

There are other people who will help you.

Brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

My love!

I've never seen you like this.

Me neither.

What's wrong?

To Mubaï.

Do you have a phone?

I don't have a phone.

I love you.

I love you.

You are

mad.

You give me everything I have.

Can't you see me?

No, I can't.

I'm afraid.

Just like you, I'm afraid.

But all men, they are afraid of me.

I'm afraid of you.

I'm afraid of you.

I don't want to kill you.

I don't want to kill you.

Because We don't know anything about his whereabouts.

We'll find him here.

Speak.

I'm looking for Masamba Fala.

The man you told me about, Bayou Madi.

I'm looking for him in Kadjor.

He's a man of honor.

He's a man of honor.

His name is Akram.

My slave.

He's a Nasara man.

He's a fatou.

He'll kill anyone who stands up to him.

He's a man of honor.

A man of honor.

He's a man of honor.

I'll take my son, and kill him.

You're brave.

You've got a lot of courage.

You're a strong woman.

I'm not afraid of death.

I'm not afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of my children.

My mother told me not to be afraid.

I want to raise him.

One day, he asked me to give him my document, a picture

of Ramatou.

I told him I wanted to give it to him.

My mother gave it to him.

Women, children, all of them.

Wherever he went, my mother was with him.

We were together.

We saw each other.

My mother didn't want me to go to sleep.

She didn't want me to go to sleep.

She didn't want me to go to sleep.

She was speaking to me.

She was telling me, The one who has to die is the

one who has to die.

So we were together.

We were together.

That's why I know he'll be back.

That's why I know he'll come back.

That's why I know he'll come back.

I don't need to be afraid.

I just need to pray.

I don't need to be afraid.

I just need to pray.

I don't need to be afraid.

I just need to pray.

I don't need to be afraid.

I just need to pray.

Surrender!

You'll keep the mission.

The Governor is promising it to you.

Who are you?

We are your brothers!

Let's go.

It's time to go.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Come!

Let's go!

On your knees!

Let's go!

Didn't you bring to didn't bring your wet bread?

My koudromon and her Hand are dirty don't drink Bye

bye
