1
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:22,690
In 1853, a small group of Americans
journeyed to Sonora, Mexico.
2
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:27,111
Their mission was to free that country
from a corrupt dictatorship.
3
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:30,906
Their leader's name
was William Walker.
4
00:01:09,612 --> 00:01:13,157
Walker's forces
will never slip away to the rear.
5
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,326
His men would rather die first.
6
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:25,795
Turn and fight!
They're only men and scared!
7
00:01:38,766 --> 00:01:44,772
Be prepared to sacrifice yourself for freedom,
for justice, for religious convictions!
8
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:49,610
Stand up and fight!
Fight, you pigheaded bastards! Fight!
9
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:51,862
Fight!
10
00:01:55,574 --> 00:01:58,953
What the hell are you doing?
Get back in, you bastards!
11
00:01:59,954 --> 00:02:01,747
Shit.
12
00:02:01,831 --> 00:02:03,374
Aw, fuck!
13
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:21,892
Brigade! Atten-hut!
14
00:02:23,144 --> 00:02:26,689
Men of the
1st Independence Battalion.
15
00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:32,278
We came to Sonora with the boldest hearts
and the loftiest of intentions.
16
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:36,866
But I will not
dissemble with you.
17
00:02:38,659 --> 00:02:41,495
Reinforcements
have failed to arrive.
18
00:02:42,997 --> 00:02:45,624
We are without food or water.
19
00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:49,587
We're trapped.
20
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:55,593
Only an act of God
can save us now.
21
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,121
Crocker, prepare the men for departure.
We're returning home.
22
00:03:24,205 --> 00:03:27,374
Yes, sir!
Mr. Fry, follow me.
23
00:03:27,458 --> 00:03:30,211
This is a magnificent moment
for me!
24
00:03:30,294 --> 00:03:33,380
It is a privilege to be at your side
at this great time.
25
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:38,260
Even if we are defeated, it doesn't matter.
We will live on in history.
26
00:03:38,344 --> 00:03:39,929
Mon frère.
27
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:45,267
Don't be so silly, man.
28
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:11,293
Walker led his men
to the American border.
29
00:04:11,377 --> 00:04:16,507
Unjustly accused of violating the neutrality
of Mexico, Walker was put on trial.
30
00:04:21,095 --> 00:04:24,014
- Order! Order!
- Quiet!
31
00:04:24,098 --> 00:04:26,308
I demand quiet!
32
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:35,150
Does Mr. Walker
wish to make a statement...
33
00:04:35,276 --> 00:04:37,861
...before the jury
decides on a verdict?
34
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:39,571
Yes, Your Honor.
35
00:04:48,122 --> 00:04:53,335
Unless a man believes that
there is something great for him to do...
36
00:04:53,419 --> 00:04:55,337
...he can do nothing great.
37
00:04:56,338 --> 00:05:00,551
A great idea
springs up from a man's soul...
38
00:05:02,094 --> 00:05:05,014
...agitates his entire being...
39
00:05:05,723 --> 00:05:07,766
...transports him
from the ignorant present...
40
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:11,020
...and makes him feel the future
in a moment.
41
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:17,985
It is the God-given right of the American
people to dominate the western hemisphere.
42
00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:22,823
It is our moral duty to protect our
neighbours from oppression and exploitation.
43
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:27,536
It is the fate of America
to go ahead.
44
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:32,499
- That is her manifest destiny.
- Hear! Hear!
45
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:34,752
Yeah!
46
00:05:40,799 --> 00:05:45,179
Your Honor, we find the defendant,
William Walker...
47
00:05:45,304 --> 00:05:47,097
Not guilty.
48
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,767
...not guilty.
49
00:05:53,354 --> 00:05:55,481
Hey, where do we go next,
Colonel?
50
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:12,998
We must move southward.
51
00:06:13,082 --> 00:06:17,169
Only by expanding can we hope
to avoid a civil war...
52
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:21,256
...and save those institutions
we hold most dear.
53
00:06:21,382 --> 00:06:26,345
I assume you're including slavery?
Are you not, Mr. Squire?
54
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:30,224
I most certainly am, sir.
We must not be Sentimental...
55
00:06:30,349 --> 00:06:34,561
...if we hope to preserve
that which is most precious to us.
56
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:38,982
- My sentiments entirely, Mr. Squire.
- Why, thank you, Mr. Morgan.
57
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:41,402
How absolutely right
we both are.
58
00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:44,655
Screw your institutions!
59
00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:45,989
Pardon me?
60
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:49,952
Miss Martin says that perhaps not all
of our institutions are worth saving.
61
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:51,995
Well, perhaps not.
62
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:55,165
However, I'm sure
the little lady will agree...
63
00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:59,545
...that we must preserve
our way of life at any cost!
64
00:06:59,628 --> 00:07:04,842
Otherwise, the barbarians will surely
stone the gates, and then where will we be?
65
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:06,593
Exactly. Well said.
66
00:07:06,677 --> 00:07:08,470
Please have patience.
67
00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:12,850
Go fuck a pig.
68
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,727
Pardon me.
I didn't get that.
69
00:07:19,481 --> 00:07:21,775
Miss Martin has
a rather different view.
70
00:07:21,859 --> 00:07:26,822
She positions herself rather on the side
of change rather than cultural preservation.
71
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:28,282
Well, that is very interesting,
my dear.
72
00:07:28,407 --> 00:07:31,493
I didn't say that!
You can all go to hell!
73
00:07:32,161 --> 00:07:34,788
Ellen. Please, Ellen!
74
00:07:36,206 --> 00:07:37,708
Ellen!
75
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,214
I'm afraid she's not herself.
The strain of my recent trial.
76
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,967
Plus our approaching marriage.
77
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,891
If you'll excuse me, gentlemen.
Doctor, will you please take care of our guests?
78
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:55,517
Yes, William.
79
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,106
Gentlemen, the renowned Walker
has prepared a Statement...
80
00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:04,776
...in the form of a quote
from President Buchanan.
81
00:08:05,444 --> 00:08:08,822
"Expansion is the future
of our country...
82
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:12,201
...and only cowards
fear and oppose it."
83
00:08:12,284 --> 00:08:16,121
Mr. Cole, will the Colonel
be returning to Mexico?
84
00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:21,293
Mr. Walker has no plans for the moment
except to pursue his private affairs in peace.
85
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:25,506
You never represent me.
86
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:29,134
You're always paraphrasing
everything I say.
87
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:31,428
Censoring me.
88
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:34,431
And look at all your shit
in my house!
89
00:08:34,515 --> 00:08:36,225
I hate it.
Get it out of here!
90
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:38,852
But I don't have a house.
91
00:08:40,812 --> 00:08:42,356
Ellen...
92
00:08:45,526 --> 00:08:50,656
I'm so desperate
whenever I'm around you.
93
00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:54,535
Sweet Jesus, Ellen,
have mercy!
94
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:59,081
That man is no longer welcome
in my house... ever!
95
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:00,374
Don't be absurd.
96
00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:04,044
Ephraim Squier is important.
Crucial!
97
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:06,672
He works for
Cornelius Vanderbilt.
98
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:09,967
If I run for office,
I'll need his support.
99
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,260
Who cares?
100
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:15,597
I hate all this talk
about Manifest Destiny.
101
00:09:15,681 --> 00:09:18,767
It's a cover-up for slavery.
102
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,061
Ellen...
103
00:09:21,144 --> 00:09:24,940
You know I despise...
I despise slavery!
104
00:09:25,857 --> 00:09:30,487
Anyway, I thought you were going
to stay with me.
105
00:09:30,571 --> 00:09:32,114
I am.
106
00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:34,658
But I can't avoid
political discussions.
107
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,411
I'm a public figure, after all.
108
00:09:37,536 --> 00:09:39,830
I don't trust you.
109
00:09:40,622 --> 00:09:43,875
Ellen, please.
I promise I'll never leave again.
110
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:48,589
Please, Ellen.
I can't stand it when you're like this.
111
00:09:49,381 --> 00:09:52,050
So what are you going
to do about it?
112
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,123
Walker! Walker!
113
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,081
In the flurry of excitement
following his acquittal...
114
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:07,834
...Walker received an invitation
from that famous captain of industry...
115
00:11:07,918 --> 00:11:10,253
...Cornelius Vanderbilt...
116
00:11:10,337 --> 00:11:14,299
...considered by some to be the richest
and most powerful man in the world.
117
00:11:27,646 --> 00:11:30,148
Colonel Walker,
I'm so pleased to see you!
118
00:11:30,232 --> 00:11:32,484
I can't tell you how happy
this will make the Commodore.
119
00:11:32,609 --> 00:11:34,111
Give him some water,
would you, please?
120
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,738
Every day he's been asking,
"When will Colonel Walker arrive?"
121
00:11:36,822 --> 00:11:39,241
- Is my horse going to be safe with that man?
- Yes, he'll be fine.
122
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:42,160
You have been very much
on his mind.
123
00:11:43,370 --> 00:11:45,872
Central America, Colonel.
124
00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:49,918
There's land,
and all of it there for the taking.
125
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:56,299
Think of it, sir.
From ocean to ocean. This way.
126
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,720
And the women, Colonel...
127
00:12:00,470 --> 00:12:02,931
My God, the women!
128
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:05,100
Bare-breasted beauties...
129
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:07,978
...under trees laden with fruit.
130
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:13,191
Think of it:
Seven to every man.
131
00:12:13,275 --> 00:12:15,068
If you please.
132
00:12:21,158 --> 00:12:25,620
By the way, Colonel, have you had an
opportunity to read my book on Nicaragua?
133
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:26,455
No, I have not.
134
00:12:26,538 --> 00:12:31,001
Well, then I will present you with
a signed first edition when next we meet.
135
00:12:31,084 --> 00:12:35,005
It's my understanding you were educated
in Edinburgh, Scotland and Paris, France.
136
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:38,258
- That is correct.
- Good. The Commodore likes educated men.
137
00:12:38,341 --> 00:12:41,887
And there he is,
the most powerful man on earth.
138
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:47,934
Don't be nervous, Colonel.
Just remember three things:
139
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:52,189
Do not sit unless he invites you to,
always address him as "Commodore"...
140
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:55,859
...and, under no circumstances,
ask for any personal favors.
141
00:12:56,693 --> 00:13:00,697
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
may I present Colonel William Walker?
142
00:13:00,781 --> 00:13:01,656
Colonel of what?
143
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:03,825
The American phalange
in northern Mexico.
144
00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:07,913
- You caused quite a commotion down there.
- We had a shortage of supplies.
145
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:10,165
No help from our government.
Otherwise we would have succeeded.
146
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:11,833
You fucked up, Walker!
147
00:13:11,917 --> 00:13:13,960
Next time pick on a country
your own size.
148
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:17,047
Are you entitled
to wear that uniform?
149
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:20,133
I'm entitled to do
anything I want.
150
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:25,305
Mr. Vanderbilt, I came down here
on your invitation.
151
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:28,016
I did not come here
to be insulted.
152
00:13:28,099 --> 00:13:30,393
- If you'll excuse me.
- Sit down!
153
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:32,437
Please. Colonel.
154
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,524
- Please.
- Sit down.
155
00:13:37,067 --> 00:13:41,279
- Does Nicaragua mean anything to you?
- Nothing at all.
156
00:13:41,363 --> 00:13:45,575
Nicaragua's a fucked-up little country
somewhere south of here.
157
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:50,705
This worthless piece of real estate
controls the overland route to the Pacific.
158
00:13:50,789 --> 00:13:54,459
I now control
all transportation in Nicaragua.
159
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:59,714
But in order to continue to do so,
I need stability.
160
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:01,800
What's this
got to do with me?
161
00:14:01,883 --> 00:14:07,597
Nicaragua's a divided country, sir.
It is in the midst of a terrible civil war.
162
00:14:07,722 --> 00:14:09,766
- It is imperative...
- What I need is for some man...
163
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:12,018
...to go down there
and take over.
164
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:15,939
I want that country stable.
I want it done now!
165
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:21,695
They, uh... they tell me
you're a clever man, Walker.
166
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:24,489
Doctor, lawyer, surgeon ...
167
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:28,493
All that Renaissance rubbish
they talk about these days.
168
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:47,262
Well? Can you handle the job?
169
00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:53,852
That's not the issue.
170
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:56,354
I plan to get married...
171
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,815
...start a newspaper.
172
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:02,903
Then you would be wasting
one of life's golden moments, sir.
173
00:15:02,986 --> 00:15:07,157
It is not every man who is offered
the chance to have a country of his own.
174
00:15:13,163 --> 00:15:18,460
Walker's goals involve a higher purpose
than the vulgar pursuit of personal power.
175
00:15:22,923 --> 00:15:26,468
Do you prize democracy, Walker?
176
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:28,887
Universal suffrage?
177
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:32,390
The principles
of our founding fathers?
178
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:35,060
Yes.
179
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:38,521
More than my own life.
180
00:15:45,403 --> 00:15:48,782
Nicaragua needs democracy,
Walker!
181
00:15:50,533 --> 00:15:53,370
They need a canal as well.
182
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:57,248
I'm interested in Nicaragua, Walker,
and so are you...
183
00:15:57,332 --> 00:16:00,251
...whether you know it now
or not.
184
00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:03,129
Well, I'm sorry,
but I cannot oblige you.
185
00:16:04,547 --> 00:16:07,050
- Good day.
- Now, Walker.
186
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,386
- Please!
- I like him.
187
00:16:10,261 --> 00:16:11,846
Get him a new hat.
188
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:00,520
It was the cholera.
189
00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:07,318
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for our sins...
190
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,779
...now and at the hour
of our death. Amen.
191
00:17:21,124 --> 00:17:23,877
She's with God now, my son.
192
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,963
Don't talk to me about God!
193
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:30,216
What do you know about God?
194
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:32,093
Get out!
195
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:36,556
All of you, out! Get out!
196
00:17:36,639 --> 00:17:38,141
Now!
197
00:18:00,914 --> 00:18:03,249
But... how? How?
198
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:07,378
Oh, God...
199
00:18:10,298 --> 00:18:12,300
I can't...
200
00:18:14,094 --> 00:18:17,680
I don't...
God, you bitch!
201
00:18:47,836 --> 00:18:53,091
Walker determined not to look back
but to face only the future.
202
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:57,470
He accepted Vanderbilt's proposal
and set sail for Nicaragua.
203
00:18:57,554 --> 00:18:59,430
With him were 58 men...
204
00:18:59,514 --> 00:19:04,144
...whom the popular press saw fit to term
"Walker's Immortals."
205
00:19:04,227 --> 00:19:06,187
I am
Captain Siegfried Henningson...
206
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:09,065
...late of the Corsican campaign
and the Balkan fiasco!
207
00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:11,693
I am well-schooled
in military matters, sir...
208
00:19:11,776 --> 00:19:14,279
...having studied with Josef Penn,
Lubitsch and von Koch!
209
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:17,490
I would be honored, sir,
if you would accept my services.
210
00:19:17,574 --> 00:19:22,078
I will, of course, provide for my own needs
and will require no financial assistance.
211
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:23,872
What is your name again, sir?
212
00:19:23,997 --> 00:19:29,169
Lieutenant... Captain Siegfried Henningson
at your command, sir!
213
00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:31,671
- You are now Major Henningson.
- Sir!
214
00:19:31,754 --> 00:19:32,881
Cast off then!
215
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:38,052
Never have I seen a collection of such
brave men assembled under one banner.
216
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,805
God bless them all.
217
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:03,912
The American phalange landed
at Realejo, Nicaragua...
218
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:08,124
...where we were met by distinguished
representatives of the Nicaraguan Liberal Party.
219
00:20:08,208 --> 00:20:11,669
- My brother, William Walker.
- How do you do, sir?
220
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:14,631
These natives
were to be our guides.
221
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:23,223
Start drumming, Mr. Turley.
222
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:40,240
From the day the Americans
landed at Realejo dates a new era.
223
00:20:40,323 --> 00:20:44,452
Not only for Nicaragua,
but for all Central America.
224
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,556
What are you doing?
225
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,183
Move it!
226
00:21:07,684 --> 00:21:10,353
You're on my shit list, Washburn.
227
00:21:31,207 --> 00:21:34,961
We paused at the small,
unregenerated hamlet of Realejo...
228
00:21:35,086 --> 00:21:38,214
...to await the arrival
of the leaders of the Liberal Party:
229
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:40,842
Generals Munoz and Castellon.
230
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:45,179
Proverbs, chapter 11,
verse three.
231
00:21:45,263 --> 00:21:48,308
"The integrity of the upright
shall guide them...
232
00:21:50,351 --> 00:21:55,815
but the perverseness of transgressors
shall destroy them."
233
00:21:55,898 --> 00:22:00,236
Soldiers, we are now embarked
on a glorious destiny:
234
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:05,158
Nothing short of the entire
regeneration of this republic.
235
00:22:05,241 --> 00:22:10,079
Ours is a sacred trust,
and any man who betrays that trust...
236
00:22:10,163 --> 00:22:14,459
by creating an act of transgression against
the hospitality of the Nicaraguan people...
237
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:18,379
...will be judged
and dealt with accordingly.
238
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:22,633
There will be
no excessive drinking...
239
00:22:22,717 --> 00:22:26,554
...no seducing
and no swearing in public places.
240
00:22:26,637 --> 00:22:30,391
- That mean we can swear in private?
- Quiet! The Colonel's talking!
241
00:22:30,975 --> 00:22:32,602
Gentlemen...
242
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:36,481
...we are honored guests here.
243
00:22:37,774 --> 00:22:41,319
And we will act that way
according to the moral dictates of God...
244
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:44,155
...science and hygiene.
245
00:22:44,238 --> 00:22:46,824
- Hear. Hear.
- That is all, Captain.
246
00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:48,368
Dismissed!
247
00:22:50,370 --> 00:22:52,372
What hygiene?
248
00:22:54,457 --> 00:22:56,918
Hey, stop! Stop, stop.
Stop, stop!
249
00:23:31,411 --> 00:23:35,331
Sanders, I know what you're thinking, but
believe me, even you can do better than that!
250
00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:39,669
Achilles, you just stay out of this!
The Colonel says this is a democracy.
251
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:48,970
Walker realized that he would need to keep
a firm hand on the moral conduct of the men.
252
00:23:50,012 --> 00:23:52,056
Immortals!
253
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,270
Aim!
254
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,610
Fire!
255
00:24:07,363 --> 00:24:09,073
Men...
256
00:24:09,198 --> 00:24:11,325
...as of this moment...
257
00:24:12,326 --> 00:24:17,290
...we do hereby, under God
become citizens of Nicaragua.
258
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:23,546
If there is any man who would say no
to this great privilege...
259
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:25,798
...let him step forward.
260
00:24:31,387 --> 00:24:36,559
It is our mission to introduce into the family
of enlightened & civilized nations a new sister.
261
00:24:37,393 --> 00:24:39,812
To help us in our just cause...
262
00:24:39,896 --> 00:24:42,523
...are two of
Nicaragua's Liberal Party...
263
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:44,984
and defenders of democracy...
264
00:24:46,194 --> 00:24:47,778
Generals...
265
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:50,615
Generals...
266
00:24:51,616 --> 00:24:53,784
- Damn it.
- Castellon and Munoz.
267
00:24:53,868 --> 00:24:56,370
...Castellon and Munoz.
268
00:24:57,038 --> 00:25:00,750
Three cheers for the Generals!
Three cheers for democracy!
269
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:03,836
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray...
270
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,214
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray...
271
00:25:06,297 --> 00:25:09,050
- Hip, hip!
- Hear! Hear!
272
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:11,302
We march for Rivas.
273
00:25:11,385 --> 00:25:13,888
As God is on our side...
274
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:17,099
...victory will be ours.
275
00:25:17,225 --> 00:25:19,018
Hurrah!
276
00:25:54,762 --> 00:25:57,306
It's a parrot, sir.
277
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:13,072
Aw, shit!
278
00:26:23,374 --> 00:26:24,417
What the hell?
279
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:28,296
You chaps do crash about a bit.
Lost your way, have you?
280
00:26:28,379 --> 00:26:30,506
- We're marching to Rivas.
- Really?
281
00:26:30,590 --> 00:26:31,882
What on earth for?
282
00:26:31,966 --> 00:26:34,635
We're liberating the country
for democracy.
283
00:26:34,719 --> 00:26:38,014
How very peculiar.
You must be American.
284
00:26:38,097 --> 00:26:41,392
Not no more.
We're Nicaraguans now.
285
00:26:41,475 --> 00:26:43,436
- You draw that?
- Yes.
286
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:44,812
Why?
287
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:04,582
- What do you think, Captain?
- I think we ought to...
288
00:27:04,665 --> 00:27:09,253
- What do you think of these new guns?
- I like them.
289
00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:12,131
Six shots,
and good-lookin' too.
290
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:13,549
I wish we had them
for that firing squad.
291
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:15,176
We wait until nightfall.
292
00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:18,929
Then we attack from the south
and from behind the church.
293
00:27:19,013 --> 00:27:21,557
- We will go straight in.
- That's right, Colonel. I'm with you all the way.
294
00:27:21,641 --> 00:27:24,393
Just jump right in and grab them by the throat.
Don't give them a chance to get set now.
295
00:27:24,477 --> 00:27:28,105
Excuse me, but haven't we just been assured
by Generals Castellon and Munoz...
296
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:29,774
...that we're to be met
with no resistance?
297
00:27:29,857 --> 00:27:32,443
Castellon
is an indecisive old man.
298
00:27:32,526 --> 00:27:34,654
Munoz is a conceited troublemaker.
299
00:27:34,737 --> 00:27:37,239
William, forgive me,
but these men are our allies!
300
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:38,574
At any rate...
301
00:27:38,658 --> 00:27:40,910
...we will go in hard
with our eyes open.
302
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:43,162
First impression in a country
is very important.
303
00:27:43,245 --> 00:27:46,374
Forgive me, but this is idiotic!
304
00:27:46,457 --> 00:27:49,251
I prefer the last impression.
305
00:27:50,127 --> 00:27:52,630
First and last
are often the same.
306
00:27:52,713 --> 00:27:56,050
I didn't know you were a pedant,
Henningson.
307
00:27:56,133 --> 00:27:59,095
History never smiles on pedants.
308
00:27:59,178 --> 00:28:03,182
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Lieutenant, may I have a word with you?
309
00:28:04,975 --> 00:28:08,896
That pig! I, who have studied
military strategy with Lubitsch...
310
00:28:08,979 --> 00:28:12,274
Colonel, sir, could I have a word with you
one moment, uh, alone, sir?
311
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,485
- Certainly.
- Shut up, Henningson!
312
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:16,070
What seems to be
the problem?
313
00:28:16,153 --> 00:28:18,614
Well, there's no problem, sir.
I was just wondering though...
314
00:28:18,698 --> 00:28:22,952
...perhaps maybe if I could be excused
tomorrow from being the drum major.
315
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:26,664
It's just that every time I've seen
pictures of battlefield scenes...
316
00:28:26,747 --> 00:28:31,127
...and, uh, I always see the drummer boy
lying dead next to his drum...
317
00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:34,922
...and, uh, if it's all the same to you, sir,
I'd like to trade my rifle in for a drum.
318
00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:37,800
I mean, I'd like to trade
my drum in for a rifle.
319
00:28:39,260 --> 00:28:43,055
As long as you are under my command,
no harm will come to you.
320
00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:45,975
Lieutenant!
321
00:28:47,643 --> 00:28:49,520
Straighten up.
322
00:28:55,693 --> 00:28:57,903
You wanted to see me, sir?
323
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,825
Some men abandon all reason
before going into battle.
324
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:08,164
They become so seized with fear that
often the battle is lost before it's begun.
325
00:29:14,712 --> 00:29:18,090
I know this will not
happen with you, Timothy.
326
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:22,011
Thank you
for your confidence, sir.
327
00:29:24,472 --> 00:29:27,933
Sir, uh,
I feel I have to tell you...
328
00:29:28,017 --> 00:29:31,812
The men are awfully confused about just
what exactly we're fighting for here.
329
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:35,566
I mean, I know, and they know,
that the liberals are our friends...
330
00:29:35,649 --> 00:29:41,530
...and the conservatives are our enemies,
but, well, to tell you the truth, sir...
331
00:29:41,614 --> 00:29:44,450
...I can't tell them apart.
They all seem the same to me.
332
00:29:44,533 --> 00:29:48,579
That is no concern of yours, Timothy,
nor of the men either.
333
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:54,835
All you have to remember,
is that our cause is a righteous one.
334
00:29:57,797 --> 00:29:59,215
I know that, sir.
335
00:30:00,090 --> 00:30:02,301
I hope you do, Timothy.
336
00:30:05,554 --> 00:30:07,056
I sincerely hope you do.
337
00:30:12,686 --> 00:30:14,271
Get some sleep.
338
00:30:16,023 --> 00:30:17,775
Yes, sir.
339
00:30:35,793 --> 00:30:38,212
Turley, move them out!
340
00:32:03,547 --> 00:32:07,927
Let's go, boys! They won't know
what to do without us! Come on!
341
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:50,177
Colonel, what are you doing?
342
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:52,471
I'm doing the only thing
I know how to do... advance!
343
00:32:52,596 --> 00:32:54,765
You dumb shit!
344
00:32:54,848 --> 00:32:58,268
There's no reason for you
to talk to me that way, Timothy.
345
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:00,980
Sorry, sir.
346
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:07,778
It's just you're going to get yourself
and everyone else killed.
347
00:33:16,412 --> 00:33:19,373
Then we'll be together again,
won't we?
348
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:03,834
- We must get into a house, Colonel!
- For God's sake, why?
349
00:34:03,917 --> 00:34:06,545
What?
For our own protection.
350
00:34:08,047 --> 00:34:10,132
Yes. Yes.
351
00:34:11,258 --> 00:34:14,470
- Good idea, Major.
- Come, please! Come!
352
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:23,812
- So, Dr. Jones, how is your day going?
- Just fine, William.
353
00:34:23,896 --> 00:34:26,398
We have 11 dead,
several wounded.
354
00:34:26,482 --> 00:34:28,567
- How 'bout yourself?
- Well, thank you.
355
00:34:28,692 --> 00:34:31,403
Now that we have a plan, I feel sure
there will be a successful outcome.
356
00:34:31,487 --> 00:34:33,614
Splendid, William!
357
00:34:34,448 --> 00:34:36,450
- After you.
- No, no, no. I insist. After you.
358
00:34:36,533 --> 00:34:38,452
- No, please.
- Well, let's go in together.
359
00:34:38,535 --> 00:34:40,120
Very well.
360
00:34:47,252 --> 00:34:51,006
- Colonel! There's a room back here!
- Is there a piano?
361
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:52,549
Yes, sir!
362
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:57,429
Take care of the window!
363
00:34:57,513 --> 00:35:01,391
- Get your fat ass out of here, Washburn!
- But I'm hungry!
364
00:35:01,475 --> 00:35:06,230
Why don't you serve him
if you admire him? Follow him!
365
00:35:06,313 --> 00:35:08,649
God! I'm hungry!
366
00:35:10,067 --> 00:35:12,861
You heathen! Come here!
367
00:35:12,945 --> 00:35:17,825
- I'll shoot your eyes out!
- What's with that music?
368
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:24,498
Get him out of here!
369
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:28,293
Move it! Get him out!
Get him to a doctor!
370
00:35:28,377 --> 00:35:32,131
We need somebody to dig through the walls.
It's our only way!
371
00:35:32,214 --> 00:35:34,216
We don't have time.
We have to charge them bastards!
372
00:35:34,299 --> 00:35:36,218
- Rout them out like we did before.
- Dear God!
373
00:35:36,301 --> 00:35:39,221
We have repeating rifles!
They have muskets!
374
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:42,599
- We shouldn't stand a chance!
- We're soldiers!
375
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:45,060
- We kill people for a living.
- Yes, sir!
376
00:35:45,144 --> 00:35:46,728
Shit!
377
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:49,439
The Colonel's leaving!
378
00:35:50,274 --> 00:35:52,442
Move out! Come on!
379
00:35:53,527 --> 00:35:54,820
Men!
380
00:35:54,903 --> 00:35:58,157
- We must leave immediately!
- What about the wounded?
381
00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:00,617
The wounded will have to
take their chances.
382
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,661
Go out the back when
the charge goes off!
383
00:36:02,786 --> 00:36:06,915
You are not in command here!
We need another diversion.
384
00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:08,500
The men'll charge
through the hole after the blast.
385
00:36:08,584 --> 00:36:10,752
Nay, the powder
will be enough of a diversion!
386
00:36:10,836 --> 00:36:13,922
That is not my
considered opinion, Major!
387
00:36:14,006 --> 00:36:16,133
You men!
You, you, you, you, you!
388
00:36:16,216 --> 00:36:18,093
After the blast,
charge through the hole!
389
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:19,887
- I'll go when you go!
- Everyone else, out the back!
390
00:36:19,970 --> 00:36:23,515
- We'll meet outside the town!
- Damn it! Fuck you, Colonel!
391
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,268
Benito's not going through
no goddamn wall!
392
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:47,372
- Major.
- What?
393
00:36:47,456 --> 00:36:50,042
No way.
Oh, wait, wait, wait! Wait!
394
00:36:50,125 --> 00:36:53,128
- Open the door!
- The fuse is burning!
395
00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:38,090
What happened here?
396
00:37:38,173 --> 00:37:40,175
What went wrong?
397
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:43,136
Sons of bitches!
398
00:37:43,220 --> 00:37:45,305
Cowards! Murderer!
399
00:37:45,389 --> 00:37:52,562
Our American brothers came here
bringing peace, democracy and liberty!
400
00:37:52,646 --> 00:37:54,773
And you killed them!
401
00:37:58,402 --> 00:38:00,195
My God!
402
00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:07,035
Protect these Americans...
403
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:09,246
...who came to our country...
404
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:13,250
...to improve our civilization...
405
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:16,295
...and strengthen our economy.
406
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:21,800
Long live Nicaragua!
407
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:26,680
Long live the United States!
408
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:31,226
Suffering a temporary setback...
409
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,313
...and wishing to protect his men
at all costs...
410
00:38:34,396 --> 00:38:39,526
...Walker decided to make a strategic
withdrawal to the seaport of San Juan del Sur.
411
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:43,905
As always,
his men's spirits remained high.
412
00:38:44,906 --> 00:38:46,533
Dr. Jones...
413
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:50,996
...when you were a little boy...
414
00:38:51,455 --> 00:38:56,043
...did you ever have a moment
when you were sitting outside on the lawn...
415
00:38:56,126 --> 00:39:02,007
...and you picked up a blade of grass
or a beetle, and you just looked at it?
416
00:39:04,634 --> 00:39:09,306
And it was whole and perfect
and totally outside of time.
417
00:39:25,697 --> 00:39:27,199
William!
418
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:32,496
Colonel, sir!
419
00:39:32,579 --> 00:39:35,624
You're late, Cole!
You were supposed to come by sea.
420
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,377
But, Colonel,
I brought new recruits.
421
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:41,004
Prussian troops from Ecuador.
422
00:39:49,304 --> 00:39:53,392
Magnificent tactics.
I commend you, General.
423
00:39:53,934 --> 00:39:57,020
What do you mean, "tactics"?
Who is this man?
424
00:39:57,104 --> 00:40:00,565
Victoire, mon général!
I'm Bruno von Namzer.
425
00:40:00,649 --> 00:40:03,693
À votre service.
Je vous salue.
426
00:40:03,777 --> 00:40:09,449
- Now, I take it, you will invade Granada.
- You mean you don't know?
427
00:40:09,533 --> 00:40:10,867
Know what?
428
00:40:10,992 --> 00:40:14,830
You have inflicted such heavy casualties
on the enemy that he has abandoned Rivas.
429
00:40:14,955 --> 00:40:18,291
His troops are racked
with dysentery and cholera.
430
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:20,544
You broke their spirit,
William.
431
00:40:20,627 --> 00:40:24,256
You are victorious.
You have won.
432
00:40:24,339 --> 00:40:25,882
We won!
433
00:40:32,139 --> 00:40:36,268
- We racked them with cholera & dysentery!
- Now is the hour of my destiny arrived.
434
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:39,187
- We have won!
- I cannot lose.
435
00:40:40,522 --> 00:40:44,484
Determined to end the civil war and
reconcile the divided nation...
436
00:40:44,568 --> 00:40:49,197
...we marched upon Granada,
a bastion of conservative power.
437
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:54,035
The American phalange
entered the capital at dawn...
438
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:57,289
...where we were welcomed
as liberators.
439
00:41:02,252 --> 00:41:03,712
Captain Hornsby?
440
00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:06,756
Immortals, charge!
441
00:41:15,891 --> 00:41:17,559
Watch it! Watch it!
442
00:41:17,642 --> 00:41:21,104
Here...you must...
Goddamn it! My arm!
443
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:27,402
Captain Hornsby,
I must protest...
444
00:41:27,486 --> 00:41:29,154
Tag them and bag them!
445
00:41:35,744 --> 00:41:38,455
Quiet, you ammo firers!
446
00:41:38,538 --> 00:41:41,583
Listen up!
Colonel's about to speak!
447
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:43,251
Dismount the prisoners!
448
00:41:44,294 --> 00:41:46,338
Citizens of Nicaragua!
449
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:52,427
Today the city of Granada and the entire
country of Nicaragua have been liberated.
450
00:41:52,511 --> 00:41:57,182
It is our sacred duty to join together
and unify this great nation.
451
00:41:57,807 --> 00:42:01,436
Today, however,
is a day of celebration.
452
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,271
Tomorrow we must...
453
00:42:06,775 --> 00:42:10,111
Shoot the prisoners.
Kill them! Kill them!
454
00:42:30,924 --> 00:42:34,261
It is not my time to die!
455
00:42:34,344 --> 00:42:37,347
It is not his time to die!
456
00:42:41,184 --> 00:42:43,103
The assassin's bullet...
457
00:42:43,186 --> 00:42:48,650
...has struck correspondence from that
great Nicaraguan patriot General Castellon!
458
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,947
It is he
who has saved my life...
459
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:58,702
...as it is I who shall save the life
of this country!
460
00:42:58,785 --> 00:43:02,163
Clearly this is
no ordinary asshole.
461
00:43:02,247 --> 00:43:04,541
He has taken my town.
462
00:43:04,624 --> 00:43:06,710
What am I going to do?
463
00:43:08,003 --> 00:43:10,171
You'll do what you always do.
464
00:43:10,255 --> 00:43:12,340
You'll make a deal.
465
00:43:14,759 --> 00:43:16,845
Come on. Get ready.
466
00:43:21,558 --> 00:43:27,606
Colonel Walker, we are here to thank you
from the deepest of our hearts...
467
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:34,738
...for the ending of our civil war...
468
00:43:38,908 --> 00:43:42,829
...and bringing us
the precious gift of freedom.
469
00:43:42,912 --> 00:43:44,497
- Hear. Hear.
- Hear. Hear.
470
00:43:44,581 --> 00:43:46,666
- Hear. Hear.
- Hear. Hear.
471
00:43:46,750 --> 00:43:49,002
What are we doing here?
472
00:43:54,633 --> 00:44:01,264
What are your intentions
toward the office of the presidency?
473
00:44:01,348 --> 00:44:03,892
Turn it down
and offer it to Corral.
474
00:44:03,975 --> 00:44:06,436
You'll own him,
and everyone will be happy.
475
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:10,732
Tell them you'll take
commander in chief of the armed forces.
476
00:44:16,279 --> 00:44:18,823
I am deeply grateful
for the extraordinary privilege...
477
00:44:18,907 --> 00:44:22,035
...of being offered
such an exalted position.
478
00:44:23,244 --> 00:44:25,997
However,
I must regretfully decline.
479
00:44:28,917 --> 00:44:30,919
It would be more beneficial
to the country...
480
00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:34,047
...if Walker were to protect
the democratic process...
481
00:44:34,172 --> 00:44:37,342
...as commander in chief
of the armed forces.
482
00:44:38,551 --> 00:44:40,303
- The army...
- Yeah!
483
00:44:40,387 --> 00:44:42,931
The army...
Now we're talking.
484
00:44:43,014 --> 00:44:48,561
I would therefore like to nominate
as president a great hero and patriot:
485
00:44:56,319 --> 00:44:58,446
General Ponciano Corral.
486
00:45:38,403 --> 00:45:40,155
Your country is primitive...
487
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:44,617
...but it's full of possibilities
for democratic advancement.
488
00:45:47,287 --> 00:45:51,040
I have a weakness
for small men.
489
00:45:51,124 --> 00:45:54,544
Small puritans
obsessed by power.
490
00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:58,548
We must first establish agrarian reforms
before we proceed...
491
00:45:58,631 --> 00:46:02,343
to equalize the social classes,
and above all...
492
00:46:02,427 --> 00:46:03,678
Of course.
493
00:46:03,762 --> 00:46:07,724
...We must separate church and state.
Don't you think?
494
00:46:09,392 --> 00:46:12,312
I like to bring them
to their knees.
495
00:46:13,146 --> 00:46:15,023
Gently...
496
00:46:16,483 --> 00:46:19,694
...but always
in the proper position.
497
00:46:20,779 --> 00:46:22,280
Yes.
498
00:46:22,363 --> 00:46:27,911
We must make English the official language
so as to end discrimination against Americans.
499
00:46:27,994 --> 00:46:30,538
We will end conscription.
500
00:46:31,164 --> 00:46:35,043
Release the natives from the army so that
they may resupply the labor force.
501
00:46:35,126 --> 00:46:36,669
The Amer...
502
00:46:38,546 --> 00:46:40,548
The American phalange will...
503
00:46:41,549 --> 00:46:44,844
- ...be responsible for national security.
- So you like my country.
504
00:46:44,928 --> 00:46:50,767
And I do think we should provide for
free elections within the next 6 months.
505
00:46:50,850 --> 00:46:53,019
If you think that's possible.
506
00:47:03,279 --> 00:47:06,699
You are in my house,
Colonel Walker.
507
00:47:06,783 --> 00:47:09,202
And you will do
what I want.
508
00:47:09,327 --> 00:47:12,372
You must be patient with me,
Doña Yrena.
509
00:47:14,582 --> 00:47:17,544
I'm a shy man
in these matters.
510
00:48:30,283 --> 00:48:31,576
Look at that!
511
00:48:31,659 --> 00:48:36,122
Walker's Immortals initiated various
cultural and civic reforms...
512
00:48:36,205 --> 00:48:40,001
...including the construction of a theater
in the traditional European style.
513
00:48:40,084 --> 00:48:42,837
I went to that shanty
you calling a house.
514
00:48:42,921 --> 00:48:45,924
I went to give the girls a bath.
There was no water.
515
00:48:46,007 --> 00:48:48,426
No water on Tuesday?
516
00:48:48,509 --> 00:48:52,263
There was also no toilet paper,
no beer.
517
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:56,893
- This is Managua?
- No, this is Granada.
518
00:48:56,976 --> 00:48:59,479
- Look at them flogging those kids!
- Come on!
519
00:48:59,562 --> 00:49:03,942
Walker, seeking literacy
above all other gods save hygiene...
520
00:49:04,025 --> 00:49:06,986
...started a newspaper,
"El Nicaraguense".
521
00:49:07,070 --> 00:49:10,073
I know that guy.
He owes me 7 bucks.
522
00:49:10,156 --> 00:49:13,076
Next thing you know,
they'll be instituting slavery.
523
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:18,122
It's the same racist, macho, sexist shit
we turned our backs on.
524
00:49:18,206 --> 00:49:21,417
It doesn't have
the feel of victory in it.
525
00:49:22,043 --> 00:49:24,879
It should be glorious and proud,
like the French revolution.
526
00:49:24,963 --> 00:49:27,882
- Yeah, I think so too.
- But that's the way it was.
527
00:49:27,966 --> 00:49:30,468
- That's beside the point, Mr. Doubleday.
- Well, what do you think?
528
00:49:30,551 --> 00:49:33,721
- Shall I send a copy to the Commodore?
- Yes, absolutely, Byron.
529
00:49:33,805 --> 00:49:37,433
- And ask him for more money, if you would.
- James, come on.
530
00:49:37,976 --> 00:49:41,521
- Come on, come on!
- Hey, Billy, my man!
531
00:49:41,604 --> 00:49:45,108
Top gringo
and heavyweight Generalissimo!
532
00:49:45,191 --> 00:49:49,195
- We're his brothers.
- Really? I didn't know he had any brothers.
533
00:49:49,278 --> 00:49:52,782
- Well, he does, okay?
- William, we came down as soon as we heard.
534
00:49:52,865 --> 00:49:56,244
Everybody's talking about you in the States.
You're famous, man!
535
00:49:56,327 --> 00:50:00,289
Yes, James.
Well, that's all relative, of course.
536
00:50:02,125 --> 00:50:03,960
If you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.
537
00:50:04,711 --> 00:50:06,337
Well, wait just a minute.
538
00:50:06,462 --> 00:50:11,551
You know, we've been on the road for months
coming down here to help you out.
539
00:50:11,634 --> 00:50:14,012
And all you can say
is you have a lot of work to do?
540
00:50:14,095 --> 00:50:16,723
Yes. That's all I can say.
541
00:50:19,559 --> 00:50:21,644
If you will excuse me.
542
00:50:21,728 --> 00:50:23,646
Come on, come on, come on.
543
00:50:23,730 --> 00:50:26,315
Maybe when you get
some time, huh?
544
00:50:28,901 --> 00:50:31,154
It's good to see you, James.
545
00:50:32,113 --> 00:50:33,698
You too.
546
00:50:50,548 --> 00:50:52,216
Ellen...
547
00:50:54,886 --> 00:50:56,637
Oh, Ellen...
548
00:50:57,055 --> 00:50:58,973
Oh, Ellie...
549
00:50:59,057 --> 00:51:00,683
Williams...
550
00:51:04,896 --> 00:51:06,522
- Oh, Ellie...
- No...
551
00:51:06,606 --> 00:51:11,569
Williams, don't be sad.
You were very good last night.
552
00:51:13,237 --> 00:51:17,283
Not great,
but for a gringo good enough.
553
00:51:18,117 --> 00:51:19,786
Williams...
554
00:51:44,143 --> 00:51:47,188
But why?
They were your own men.
555
00:51:47,271 --> 00:51:50,900
One must act with severity
or perish.
556
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,198
What are you... Hey! Put that down!
What are you, some kind of hick?
557
00:51:58,574 --> 00:51:59,826
And don't give me that look!
558
00:51:59,909 --> 00:52:02,370
I bring you down here
to the Paris, France of Central America...
559
00:52:02,453 --> 00:52:06,916
...and you're behaving like you're still
in some hamlet in the woods some...
560
00:52:10,169 --> 00:52:11,462
There's power for you, huh?
561
00:52:11,587 --> 00:52:15,091
Man doesn't even recognize
his own brother.
562
00:52:15,883 --> 00:52:18,553
- What about Honduras and Costa Rica, Byron?
- Hey!
563
00:52:18,636 --> 00:52:20,680
- Don't you think they need democracy too?
- Hey!
564
00:52:20,763 --> 00:52:23,474
Try to pay attention
to the matter at hand.
565
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:25,393
- Vanderbilt's plans are with Nicaragua...
- Hey, hey, hey!
566
00:52:25,476 --> 00:52:29,814
Who the hell do you think you are, Willie?
I'm your goddamn brother!
567
00:52:29,897 --> 00:52:33,067
You throw me a bone,
for Christ's sake!
568
00:52:33,151 --> 00:52:36,320
Don't you ever talk to me that way
in public again.
569
00:52:36,404 --> 00:52:38,781
You are welcome here
only if you contribute.
570
00:52:38,865 --> 00:52:41,159
I have many brothers here,
and they're all equal in my eyes...
571
00:52:41,242 --> 00:52:43,035
Don't give me that bullshit!
572
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:45,705
I don't believe in equality,
and neither do you!
573
00:52:45,788 --> 00:52:49,167
You make me an officer
and give me some money...
574
00:52:49,250 --> 00:52:52,086
...or, by God,
I'll stink up the place.
575
00:52:54,755 --> 00:52:56,465
Yeah! Yeah.
576
00:52:56,591 --> 00:52:59,677
You and James will be lieutenants.
Nothing more until you earn it.
577
00:53:03,014 --> 00:53:05,391
What about the money, Willie?
578
00:53:05,474 --> 00:53:08,477
Put me in charge
of the treasury!
579
00:53:08,603 --> 00:53:09,896
Get out of my way!
580
00:53:12,231 --> 00:53:15,860
Boys, he made me a General!
You're a Corporal.
581
00:53:18,196 --> 00:53:22,658
Walker realized that he
could no longer trust his former allies.
582
00:53:22,742 --> 00:53:27,330
In particular, he determined to keep a
sharp watch on so-called President Corral.
583
00:53:33,085 --> 00:53:35,213
You must sign, Ponciano.
584
00:53:35,296 --> 00:53:38,716
It's the only way
of getting rid of Walker.
585
00:53:38,799 --> 00:53:41,761
I thought this Walker
was a friend of yours.
586
00:53:41,844 --> 00:53:44,013
He has confiscated
my hacienda in Masaya.
587
00:53:44,096 --> 00:53:45,848
Given it to his men.
588
00:53:45,932 --> 00:53:48,309
The mad gringo
is ripping us off.
589
00:53:48,392 --> 00:53:50,728
First our land...
590
00:53:51,687 --> 00:53:53,648
What next?
591
00:53:55,024 --> 00:53:56,442
Our mistresses?
592
00:53:56,525 --> 00:53:58,653
For God's sake,
don't be childish.
593
00:53:58,736 --> 00:54:01,906
You don't want to see him do that,
do you, Ponciano?
594
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:06,869
What are you doing, papa?
595
00:54:06,953 --> 00:54:08,412
Nothing.
596
00:54:11,123 --> 00:54:14,043
I have an interesting
letter here, sir.
597
00:54:20,174 --> 00:54:26,013
"Lost is Nicaragua. Lost Honduras,
Salvador and Guatemala too...
598
00:54:26,722 --> 00:54:29,976
...unless we all unite
against the gringo."
599
00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:40,486
I want you to arrest Corral.
600
00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:42,738
Of course, sir.
601
00:54:44,490 --> 00:54:46,659
Assure him he will
receive a fair trial.
602
00:54:46,742 --> 00:54:49,036
Don't worry, Colonel.
We'll take care of him.
603
00:54:53,249 --> 00:54:54,709
William...
604
00:54:55,293 --> 00:54:57,503
...want me to join them?
605
00:54:58,504 --> 00:55:00,339
You'd better hurry, James.
606
00:55:14,353 --> 00:55:18,899
Execution souvenirs,
medallions.
607
00:55:19,358 --> 00:55:22,945
Corral was found guilty
of treason and sentenced to die.
608
00:55:23,029 --> 00:55:25,990
The entire country
rejoiced at this news.
609
00:55:26,073 --> 00:55:29,869
There was no doubt in anybody's mind
that justice had been served.
610
00:55:33,622 --> 00:55:35,291
William...
611
00:55:43,632 --> 00:55:47,511
General Walker,
Corral is like a father to his people.
612
00:55:47,595 --> 00:55:51,098
Then he is a tyrannical father
who would betray his children.
613
00:55:51,182 --> 00:55:54,226
He was calling on foreign troops
to start an insurrection.
614
00:55:54,310 --> 00:55:58,022
Treason must be punished.
I have no choice.
615
00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:18,167
Doña Yrena says that it's...
it's a terrible mistake to kill Corral.
616
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:23,297
A mistake, General.
In this case, I entirely agree with her.
617
00:56:23,381 --> 00:56:29,178
Morally, as well as politically, you will lose
everything you have gained... up to now.
618
00:56:29,261 --> 00:56:33,391
She said something else.
She called me a name.
619
00:56:33,474 --> 00:56:38,562
- What did she call me?
- She called you "a dog's asshole".
620
00:56:41,107 --> 00:56:43,317
You know they are right,
William.
621
00:56:43,401 --> 00:56:46,404
If you persist in this,
everyone will hate you.
622
00:56:46,487 --> 00:56:48,322
I cannot help that.
623
00:56:48,406 --> 00:56:52,827
Sometimes a leader must listen
to a higher law.
624
00:56:53,411 --> 00:56:56,122
What you say may be true, but it is not,
in the final view, important.
625
00:56:56,205 --> 00:56:58,999
- Listen to reason.
- I ask you never to speak of this matter again!
626
00:56:59,083 --> 00:57:02,044
- If you want my opinion...
- Enough!
627
00:57:05,464 --> 00:57:09,051
General Corral shall not be
executed today at noon.
628
00:57:14,181 --> 00:57:17,268
He shall be executed
this afternoon at 2:00.
629
00:58:27,004 --> 00:58:28,255
Fire!
630
00:58:59,620 --> 00:59:03,374
- That son of a bitch has taken off.
- Probably Costa Rica.
631
00:59:03,457 --> 00:59:07,711
- We need to find him and bring him back.
- A few rides after his funeral...
632
00:59:07,795 --> 00:59:09,922
Do you know what it's like
out there in that damn country?
633
00:59:10,005 --> 00:59:12,550
I may not, but I know
what it's like here...
634
00:59:12,633 --> 00:59:14,176
...and I know we're in trouble
without a president.
635
00:59:14,301 --> 00:59:16,345
Gentlemen,
if you want my view...
636
00:59:16,428 --> 00:59:19,390
I don't, actually.
And neither does anyone else.
637
00:59:19,473 --> 00:59:22,434
No need to get a wild hair
up your ass, Mr. Cole.
638
00:59:22,518 --> 00:59:25,396
I was only making a suggestion.
639
00:59:26,272 --> 00:59:29,692
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
640
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:35,406
Perhaps the time has come
for an election.
641
00:59:35,489 --> 00:59:38,534
There has already been
an election.
642
00:59:41,495 --> 00:59:43,247
I won.
643
00:59:56,051 --> 00:59:57,303
Gentlemen...
644
00:59:58,262 --> 01:00:00,973
- ...the morning paper.
- Thank you, Mr. Rudler.
645
01:00:01,056 --> 01:00:02,474
Yes, sir.
646
01:00:04,101 --> 01:00:05,644
Congratulations, Mr. President.
647
01:00:05,728 --> 01:00:07,229
James!
648
01:00:09,315 --> 01:00:12,192
What has this man
done to my newspaper?
649
01:00:24,413 --> 01:00:27,333
We must send word
to Honduras.
650
01:00:27,416 --> 01:00:30,044
Ask Guardiola to intervene.
651
01:00:30,127 --> 01:00:32,713
Guardiola?
Guardiola is a butcher.
652
01:00:32,796 --> 01:00:35,215
We need outside help.
653
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:38,552
- But we need guns more.
- You can't be serious, Yrena.
654
01:00:38,636 --> 01:00:40,721
Arm the peasants?
655
01:00:41,221 --> 01:00:45,017
- That's all we need.
- We must arm everyone...
656
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:47,728
...including our neighbors
in Latin America...
657
01:00:47,811 --> 01:00:51,398
...if we really want to get rid
of these crazy gringos.
658
01:00:52,274 --> 01:00:53,651
Son of a bitch
659
01:01:11,126 --> 01:01:14,672
You're quite a hero
back in the United States, General.
660
01:01:15,214 --> 01:01:19,093
- Do you have any plans to go back?
- Nicaragua is my country.
661
01:01:19,176 --> 01:01:21,553
As long as I am needed here,
I will never leave.
662
01:01:21,637 --> 01:01:26,600
Your country is in a state of chaos.
Guerrilla wars are taking place.
663
01:01:26,684 --> 01:01:30,771
And yet, you refuse
to engage the enemy. Why?
664
01:01:30,854 --> 01:01:36,318
A protracted war against scattered guerrilla
groups would not only be disheartening...
665
01:01:36,402 --> 01:01:37,444
...and dissatisfying...
666
01:01:37,528 --> 01:01:39,988
...but it would be too exhausting
for our American troops.
667
01:01:40,072 --> 01:01:42,324
Have you anything to say
to the American people?
668
01:01:42,408 --> 01:01:44,159
I certainly do.
669
01:01:44,243 --> 01:01:48,247
"Climb on board Commodore Vanderbilt's
steamships and come on down and see us."
670
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:49,623
The truth is, President Walker...
671
01:01:49,707 --> 01:01:52,751
...that Cornelius Vanderbilt
is taking advantage of you.
672
01:01:52,835 --> 01:01:55,087
His transit company,
which guarantees overland passage...
673
01:01:55,170 --> 01:01:59,091
...from the Atlantic to the Pacific
is not paying you what they should.
674
01:01:59,174 --> 01:02:03,929
He is, to put it bluntly,
exploiting you and the entire country.
675
01:02:04,054 --> 01:02:05,681
Shame, shame.
676
01:02:07,391 --> 01:02:09,727
- Why are you telling me this?
- Simply put...
677
01:02:09,810 --> 01:02:13,856
...we propose to start a new company
and make you an even better offer.
678
01:02:13,939 --> 01:02:19,194
But to do this, you must revoke Vanderbilt's
license and grant our company one instead.
679
01:02:19,278 --> 01:02:21,572
On most favorable terms,
of course.
680
01:02:21,655 --> 01:02:25,367
You're telling me that Vanderbilt
has not been paying me what he owes me?
681
01:02:25,451 --> 01:02:27,953
There's no question about that.
682
01:02:28,078 --> 01:02:30,664
- That is inexcusable.
- No doubt.
683
01:02:30,748 --> 01:02:36,253
But we mustn't forget that without Cornelius
Vanderbilt we wouldn't be here today.
684
01:02:36,336 --> 01:02:40,174
That's true. Whatever good fortune
we have, we owe it to him.
685
01:02:40,257 --> 01:02:44,845
Not only that, but he would be
a terrible man to cross.
686
01:02:52,603 --> 01:02:54,980
I hardly think...
687
01:02:55,105 --> 01:02:56,732
...gentlemen...
688
01:02:58,484 --> 01:03:00,819
...that Commodore Vanderbilt...
689
01:03:01,445 --> 01:03:05,741
...is responsible for my great...
our great victories in the field.
690
01:03:05,824 --> 01:03:09,953
May I have a word with you, please, William?
I mean, Mr. President.
691
01:03:10,078 --> 01:03:13,874
Certainly, Byron.
Anything you wish to say, you may say here.
692
01:03:13,957 --> 01:03:17,669
Walker does not resort
to whispers and subterfuge.
693
01:03:19,671 --> 01:03:23,050
Our great victories
notwithstanding, William...
694
01:03:23,133 --> 01:03:25,928
...we are utterly dependent
upon Cornelius Vanderbilt.
695
01:03:26,053 --> 01:03:28,138
His ships are our lifeline
to the United States.
696
01:03:28,222 --> 01:03:31,850
They provide us with money,
munitions, medicine and men.
697
01:03:31,934 --> 01:03:35,145
We cannot risk
incurring his displeasure.
698
01:03:37,189 --> 01:03:39,691
Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
699
01:03:53,455 --> 01:03:54,957
Gentlemen...
700
01:03:56,083 --> 01:03:58,126
...it was granted to me
in our recent constitution...
701
01:03:58,210 --> 01:04:03,590
...that I have the authority and the autonomy
to do whatever I want. Don't I?
702
01:04:07,678 --> 01:04:10,597
- Don't I?
- Absolutely, Mr. President. Absolutely.
703
01:04:10,681 --> 01:04:13,350
- Don't I?
- Ja. Yes, sir.
704
01:04:14,101 --> 01:04:15,853
Don't I?
705
01:04:15,936 --> 01:04:18,355
Yes, you do.
706
01:04:21,358 --> 01:04:24,987
I will not be betrayed
by a man as vulgar and insidious...
707
01:04:25,112 --> 01:04:27,573
...as Cornelius Vanderbilt.
708
01:04:28,866 --> 01:04:31,994
I will, therefore,
revoke his permit.
709
01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:34,913
I will also commandeer
his vessels.
710
01:04:34,997 --> 01:04:38,292
From this day on, they will be
the property of the Republic of Nicaragua.
711
01:04:38,375 --> 01:04:40,919
- You cannot be serious!
- Want to bet?
712
01:04:41,003 --> 01:04:45,507
Surely, President Walker, it might be more
advantageous to be a little more diplomatic.
713
01:04:45,591 --> 01:04:49,636
Not to use force,
but rather diplomacy.
714
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,349
For you, perhaps, but not for me.
Excuse me, gentlemen, I have work to do.
715
01:04:54,433 --> 01:04:56,768
Forgive me, sir, but I must contradict you.
Your work is here!
716
01:04:56,852 --> 01:04:59,271
Sir! Come back here!
717
01:04:59,354 --> 01:05:02,774
I've had it with you,
foreign weasel!
718
01:05:02,858 --> 01:05:06,778
You have the nerve to come over here
barely speaking the language.
719
01:05:06,862 --> 01:05:09,406
Taking our jobs!
Pole axing our women! Take that!
720
01:05:09,489 --> 01:05:14,161
And that! And that!
You bastard!
721
01:05:14,244 --> 01:05:18,957
I cannot help noticing, sir,
during the time I've spent with you...
722
01:05:19,041 --> 01:05:24,546
...that you've betrayed every principle
you've had, all the men who supported you.
723
01:05:25,422 --> 01:05:27,549
May I ask why?
724
01:05:27,633 --> 01:05:30,385
No, you may not.
725
01:05:31,011 --> 01:05:36,391
I'm still not clear
on what exactly are your aims.
726
01:05:37,184 --> 01:05:41,521
- The ends justify the means.
- What are the ends?
727
01:05:41,605 --> 01:05:43,649
I can't remember.
728
01:05:44,733 --> 01:05:50,030
You two scumbags went behind my back
and cut into my action!
729
01:05:50,113 --> 01:05:54,117
Nobody does that!
Do you understand?
730
01:05:54,242 --> 01:05:57,579
Nobody fucks with Vanderbilt!
731
01:05:58,038 --> 01:05:59,790
We are both sure,
Commodore Vanderbilt...
732
01:05:59,873 --> 01:06:01,875
...that we can reach
some sort of accommodation.
733
01:06:01,959 --> 01:06:06,630
- After all, we are all civilized men.
- Civilized men?
734
01:06:06,713 --> 01:06:10,884
From now on,
you're going to be shoveling shit!
735
01:06:10,968 --> 01:06:15,389
And if your mouths are not too full of it,
you'll thank me for the privilege!
736
01:06:15,472 --> 01:06:16,139
Thank you.
737
01:06:16,264 --> 01:06:19,977
- Thank you, sir.
- That's how civilized I think you are!
738
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:22,312
- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.
739
01:06:25,899 --> 01:06:29,403
You've not only betrayed the Commodore,
you've betrayed yourselves...
740
01:06:29,486 --> 01:06:33,740
...by putting faith
in that lunatic extremist Walker.
741
01:06:33,824 --> 01:06:37,953
Now look.
You've upset the Commodore.
742
01:06:38,036 --> 01:06:39,621
What were you thinking of?
743
01:06:39,705 --> 01:06:44,001
Did you seriously imagine this pathetic
madman was in charge down there?
744
01:06:44,084 --> 01:06:48,171
- No, of course not. We didn't...
- Get out of here! Both of you!
745
01:06:50,424 --> 01:06:53,301
What should we do about Walker?
746
01:06:56,680 --> 01:07:00,058
No one will remember Walker.
747
01:07:01,268 --> 01:07:06,314
No one will remember
men who lose.
748
01:07:14,698 --> 01:07:17,117
Look at that fat cat Walker.
749
01:07:17,242 --> 01:07:20,495
Strutting about
as if he was a king.
750
01:07:21,038 --> 01:07:25,125
One thing he didn't ken,
it's Vanderbilt that's running the show.
751
01:07:25,792 --> 01:07:30,088
If he ever opposed the bloke,
we'll be up to our necks in shit.
752
01:07:31,048 --> 01:07:33,300
What have I got, Doctor?
753
01:07:35,135 --> 01:07:36,511
It's cholera.
754
01:07:46,104 --> 01:07:47,981
What means this shouting?
755
01:07:48,065 --> 01:07:51,485
I fear the people choose
Caesar as their king.
756
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,030
While men...
757
01:07:55,113 --> 01:07:57,074
That's mine.
758
01:07:58,617 --> 01:08:00,327
Another general shout!
759
01:08:04,081 --> 01:08:09,002
I do believe that these are for
some new honors heaped on Caesar.
760
01:08:09,086 --> 01:08:14,299
Why, man, he doth bestride
the narrow world like a colossus.
761
01:08:14,382 --> 01:08:16,426
Hey, bring on the darky!
762
01:08:18,845 --> 01:08:20,472
And we petty men...
763
01:08:20,555 --> 01:08:24,559
...walk under his huge legs,
and peep about...
764
01:08:24,643 --> 01:08:27,145
- ...to find ourselves...
- Where are you going?
765
01:08:27,229 --> 01:08:28,563
You bastard!
766
01:08:28,647 --> 01:08:31,817
We are in crisis on all fronts.
We must have your attention.
767
01:08:31,900 --> 01:08:35,487
Is there no way you could not have
waited till at least intermission?
768
01:08:36,905 --> 01:08:40,575
The men are going mad.
They're defacing the cathedral...
769
01:08:40,659 --> 01:08:43,495
- ...pillaging the precious artifacts.
- The priests must take their chances.
770
01:08:43,578 --> 01:08:45,664
- This is war.
- Mr. President...
771
01:08:45,747 --> 01:08:47,791
...the men are
on the point of mutiny.
772
01:08:47,874 --> 01:08:51,670
- No, they are not.
- Are you all right, sir?
773
01:08:51,753 --> 01:08:55,006
Vanderbilt has diverted
his steamships to Panama...
774
01:08:55,090 --> 01:08:57,717
...cut off our supplies!
We have no new recruits...
775
01:08:57,801 --> 01:09:01,263
- ...no money, very little ammunition!
- Very little ammunition!
776
01:09:01,388 --> 01:09:04,057
We have lost control
of León, Masaya...
777
01:09:04,141 --> 01:09:07,394
- Chinandega, Matagalpa...
- ...and every major Nicaraguan town.
778
01:09:07,477 --> 01:09:10,063
- Rubbish!
- Defeatist nonsense!
779
01:09:10,147 --> 01:09:12,983
Pure unadulterated horseshit!
780
01:09:13,066 --> 01:09:15,235
- Food!
- Booze!
781
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,237
- Money!
- Justice!
782
01:09:17,362 --> 01:09:20,657
Food! Booze! Money! Justice!
783
01:09:20,740 --> 01:09:23,743
Food! Booze! Money! Justice!
784
01:09:28,456 --> 01:09:30,208
- You...
- What?
785
01:09:30,292 --> 01:09:33,170
- ...are a disgrace!
- I'm a disgrace?
786
01:09:33,253 --> 01:09:37,591
This whole operation is
a fucking disgrace, Your Worship!
787
01:09:37,674 --> 01:09:39,176
You are stripped of your rank.
788
01:09:39,259 --> 01:09:41,761
You can either stay here as a private
or you can leave.
789
01:09:41,845 --> 01:09:43,930
Hey, private this, Willie!
790
01:09:46,766 --> 01:09:47,934
Anderson.
791
01:09:49,603 --> 01:09:51,479
- Holy shit!
- Hey, hey, hey!
792
01:09:53,231 --> 01:09:54,733
Ah, shit!
793
01:09:54,816 --> 01:09:57,319
Give me his medals!
Give me his medals! I want his medals!
794
01:09:57,444 --> 01:09:59,321
Mother never liked you anyway.
795
01:10:01,198 --> 01:10:04,492
Let me have men
about me that are fat.
796
01:10:04,576 --> 01:10:07,454
Yon Cassius has
a lean and hungry look.
797
01:10:07,537 --> 01:10:11,249
He thinks too much.
Such men are dangerous.
798
01:10:16,254 --> 01:10:17,714
Men...
799
01:10:18,632 --> 01:10:21,635
...I have found a solution
to our problem.
800
01:10:23,803 --> 01:10:25,639
- Slavery.
- Yeah!
801
01:10:30,644 --> 01:10:32,646
What do you mean?
802
01:10:34,522 --> 01:10:37,859
- We don't need no slaves!
- We need money and weapons.
803
01:10:37,943 --> 01:10:39,611
- And medicine.
- Fuck you, Walker.
804
01:10:39,694 --> 01:10:41,196
Silence!
805
01:10:42,614 --> 01:10:44,950
We will introduce slavery
into Nicaragua.
806
01:10:45,033 --> 01:10:47,786
The South will have no choice
but to rally to our cause.
807
01:10:47,869 --> 01:10:50,163
That's pure nonsense!
808
01:11:52,559 --> 01:11:56,604
There were rumors that several neighboring
countries had invaded Nicaragua.
809
01:11:57,230 --> 01:12:00,400
Walker sent out agents
to see if this was true.
810
01:12:00,984 --> 01:12:03,069
None of the agents returned.
811
01:12:04,029 --> 01:12:08,950
"The Indian of Nicaragua in his fidelity
and docility and in his capacity for labor...
812
01:12:09,034 --> 01:12:12,579
...approaches nearly the Negroes
of the United States.
813
01:12:12,662 --> 01:12:16,791
In fact, the manners of the Indian towards
the ruling race are now more submissive...
814
01:12:16,875 --> 01:12:20,503
...than those of the American Negro
to his master."
815
01:12:30,430 --> 01:12:36,144
"The advantage of Negro and Indian slavery
in Nicaragua will therefore be twofold.
816
01:12:36,227 --> 01:12:39,898
While it will furnish a certain labor
for the use of agriculture...
817
01:12:39,981 --> 01:12:41,775
...it will also tend
to separate the races...
818
01:12:41,858 --> 01:12:45,445
...and destroy the half-castes
who cause the disorder."
819
01:12:59,542 --> 01:13:04,547
"The Battle of Rivas,
June 29, 1855.
820
01:13:06,674 --> 01:13:11,679
Not more than a dozen went out
to drive away upward a hundred.
821
01:13:11,763 --> 01:13:15,141
And their charge swept
the enemy completely away.
822
01:13:15,934 --> 01:13:18,395
There was no thought of rank.
823
01:13:19,187 --> 01:13:22,107
But each one went forth
with his revolver...
824
01:13:22,190 --> 01:13:26,111
...ready to do the part
of a true man in the fray.
825
01:13:28,696 --> 01:13:33,576
Never have I seen a collection of such
brave men assembled under one banner.
826
01:13:35,787 --> 01:13:38,289
God bless them all."
827
01:13:47,424 --> 01:13:49,092
I have studied with Josef Penn!
828
01:13:49,175 --> 01:13:51,803
I have studied with Lubitsch
and von Koch!
829
01:13:51,886 --> 01:13:56,307
And you have the presumption
to talk to me of military tactics.
830
01:14:07,152 --> 01:14:09,904
Bruno... and the Germans...
831
01:14:10,905 --> 01:14:12,490
...they have a vision.
832
01:14:15,118 --> 01:14:17,745
Always be
a straight shooter, James.
833
01:14:17,829 --> 01:14:19,956
I like the sound of that.
834
01:14:46,316 --> 01:14:47,942
I must speak with you.
835
01:14:49,694 --> 01:14:52,780
- I don't understand.
- There is no time.
836
01:14:52,864 --> 01:14:54,073
You speak...
837
01:14:54,157 --> 01:14:58,912
I have spoken to you in many ways,
but you have not heard me.
838
01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:05,376
But now you must, Williams.
Everything depends on it.
839
01:15:08,963 --> 01:15:11,049
Did you see this?
840
01:15:14,719 --> 01:15:18,139
I beg you. Please!
841
01:15:18,223 --> 01:15:22,227
If we have a lot of death,
we will have a revolution.
842
01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:25,438
We must not have that
if we are to survive.
843
01:15:25,522 --> 01:15:27,857
We are both aristocrats.
844
01:15:29,317 --> 01:15:31,236
I am not an aristocrat.
845
01:15:31,819 --> 01:15:35,240
I'm a social democrat.
What's the matter with you?
846
01:15:36,658 --> 01:15:39,369
I only want what is best
for the Nicaraguan people.
847
01:15:39,452 --> 01:15:41,496
I'm surprised at you.
848
01:15:42,705 --> 01:15:45,041
Now leave me alone.
I have important work to do.
849
01:15:45,124 --> 01:15:47,794
- Are you quite sure of that?
- Absolutely!
850
01:15:47,877 --> 01:15:50,672
- And shut the door on your way out.
- Okay.
851
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:04,686
God...
852
01:16:04,769 --> 01:16:07,188
Yrena, what are you doing?
Bruno!
853
01:16:33,965 --> 01:16:36,593
Instruct the men
to burn the town.
854
01:16:39,429 --> 01:16:40,847
Yeah...
855
01:17:11,461 --> 01:17:13,254
What are you doing? Idiot!
856
01:17:13,338 --> 01:17:16,424
You are an idiot!
Idiot! Idiot!
857
01:17:16,507 --> 01:17:18,176
What is this?
858
01:19:44,238 --> 01:19:47,450
Walker! Walker! Walker!
859
01:21:16,581 --> 01:21:20,459
You men, get the Colonel's brother's body
out of here.
860
01:22:12,511 --> 01:22:15,473
- Mr. President.
- It's been a long time, Doc.
861
01:22:15,556 --> 01:22:17,808
It doesn't seem like it.
862
01:22:21,437 --> 01:22:23,731
- Mr. President!
- Yes.
863
01:22:23,814 --> 01:22:26,859
Granada has been put
to the torch.
864
01:22:27,818 --> 01:22:30,821
- How many have we lost?
- Nearly all, sir.
865
01:22:30,905 --> 01:22:32,782
We must leave immediately.
866
01:22:33,699 --> 01:22:35,368
I will speak to my men
one last time.
867
01:22:35,451 --> 01:22:37,078
- Immediately!
- I insist, Major.
868
01:22:37,161 --> 01:22:39,497
Sir, I... my arm!
869
01:22:42,625 --> 01:22:45,086
Immortals, attention!
870
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,557
Unless a man believes that there is
something great for him to do...
871
01:22:58,641 --> 01:23:01,102
...he can do nothing great.
872
01:23:01,602 --> 01:23:04,563
A great idea springs up
in a man's soul.
873
01:23:04,647 --> 01:23:07,191
It agitates his entire being.
874
01:23:07,274 --> 01:23:09,360
Transports him
from the ignorant present...
875
01:23:09,443 --> 01:23:12,446
...and makes him feel
the future in a moment.
876
01:23:13,990 --> 01:23:18,119
Reduced to our present position
by the cowardice of some...
877
01:23:18,202 --> 01:23:21,288
...the incapacity of others
and the treachery of many...
878
01:23:21,372 --> 01:23:23,416
...we are yet writing
a page in history...
879
01:23:23,499 --> 01:23:26,460
...that it will be impossible
to forget or erase.
880
01:23:30,548 --> 01:23:34,343
You all might think
that there will be a day...
881
01:23:34,427 --> 01:23:38,389
...when America will leave
Nicaragua alone.
882
01:23:38,472 --> 01:23:41,892
But I am here to tell you,
flat out...
883
01:23:41,976 --> 01:23:44,353
...that that day
will never happen...
884
01:23:44,437 --> 01:23:47,565
...because it is our destiny
to be here.
885
01:23:47,648 --> 01:23:50,776
It is our destiny
to control you people.
886
01:23:51,444 --> 01:23:54,947
So no matter how much you fight,
no matter what you think...
887
01:23:55,531 --> 01:23:57,366
...we'll be back...
888
01:23:58,159 --> 01:24:00,286
...time and time again.
889
01:24:02,121 --> 01:24:05,875
By the bones of our American dead
in Rivas and Granada...
890
01:24:06,542 --> 01:24:10,671
...I swear that we will never abandon
the cause of Nicaragua.
891
01:24:12,965 --> 01:24:17,053
Let it occupy your every
waking and sleeping thought.
892
01:24:19,597 --> 01:24:22,641
From the future,
if not the present...
893
01:24:22,725 --> 01:24:25,728
...we may expect
a just judgment.
894
01:24:47,750 --> 01:24:50,377
- What about the prisoners?
- Shoot them!
895
01:24:50,461 --> 01:24:53,964
You heard the Colonel.
Shoot the prisoners!
896
01:26:01,365 --> 01:26:05,536
I have been instructed
by the State Department of the USA...
897
01:26:05,619 --> 01:26:08,539
...to return all American citizens
to their homeland.
898
01:26:08,622 --> 01:26:10,416
I'm an American!
899
01:26:12,585 --> 01:26:16,172
Yes!
Sorry, only U.S. citizens.
900
01:26:19,508 --> 01:26:21,051
Only U.S. citizens.
901
01:26:21,635 --> 01:26:25,014
That's it.
U.S. citizens! U.S. citizens.
902
01:26:25,097 --> 01:26:27,850
Get your hands off me!
Goddamn it, get them off!
903
01:26:30,144 --> 01:26:32,479
Shoot him! Shoot him!
904
01:26:36,734 --> 01:26:37,735
My arm!
905
01:26:46,577 --> 01:26:47,786
What is your nationality, sir?
906
01:26:47,870 --> 01:26:51,081
I'm William Walker, president
of the Republic of Nicaragua!
907
01:26:51,165 --> 01:26:53,125
I'm sorry, sir.
908
01:26:54,335 --> 01:26:55,878
Move it out!
909
01:27:09,225 --> 01:27:10,809
Colonel!
910
01:28:27,845 --> 01:28:31,348
Let me say to those who invoke
the memory of Vietnam...
911
01:28:32,933 --> 01:28:38,147
...there is no thought of sending
American combat troops to Central America.
912
01:28:42,484 --> 01:28:44,403
Maneuvers designated
Operation Big Pine...
913
01:28:44,486 --> 01:28:48,115
...are being conducted less than 10 miles
from Honduras' border with Nicaragua.
914
01:28:48,741 --> 01:28:52,036
Nicaraguans consider the exercise
a serious act of aggression.
915
01:28:52,119 --> 01:28:55,873
The United States insists
the maneuvers are purely defensive.
916
01:28:55,956 --> 01:28:59,251
This maneuver is designed to help
the Hondurans to defend their own country.
917
01:29:00,461 --> 01:29:05,591
And it doesn't... it doesn't envision
any involvement of U.S. ground forces.
918
01:29:07,134 --> 01:29:11,555
So far, 80,000 U.S. troops
have participated in the maneuvers.
919
01:29:11,638 --> 01:29:13,724
Those leading the exercises
say it's all being done...
920
01:29:13,807 --> 01:29:16,518
...for the sake
of peace and self-defense.
921
01:29:16,602 --> 01:29:21,357
The political side of the U.S. presence
here was not lost on some of the troops.
922
01:29:21,774 --> 01:29:24,610
It's kind of to show it to,
like Nicaragua.
923
01:29:28,113 --> 01:29:30,407
Yeah, I think we're sending
a message to them.
