All language subtitles for La Bataille De San Sebastian (1968).eng

Get away.

Pick him up.

Stop.

This man is in the house of god.

This is Leon alastray.

A rebel, a thief and a murderer.

I order you
to turn him over to me.

Only god gives orders here.

Come on, pick him up!

Leave him!

The house of god is a sanctuary
for all men.

So, we're talking Latin now.

Very well. Fine.

I'll bring you someone who
speaks it even better than you.

It's a great honor, monsignor.

Father Joseph, you have done
a most Christian deed

in giving sanctuary to a sinner.

A sinner I may say who has
sinned against the governor.

Even against the king himself.

Thank you, your excellency.

But the custom of sanctuary
although sanctified by time

has grown somewhat out of date.

Try to understand, father Joseph,
we cannot impede justice.

Look, father,
this man's a rebel.

What's more, he's a deserter.

So, he concerns only the army.

I must request
that you deliver him to us.

But it was god who offered him
refuge, your excellency.

How can we turn him out?

Father Joseph... We can
be concerned with his soul,

but his body,
let the captain take care of it.

If the states' rights are
greater than those of the church,

if the king is more powerful than
god... No one is suggesting that.

Captain calleja,
you must be patient.

We will find a way to see
that justice is done.

Meantime,
surround the monastery.

Once more, father Joseph, you
have followed the dictates of your heart

which truly loves all men.

The church is very proud of you.
Very proud.

But such a big city as ours,

it offers so few opportunities
for such an eager soul as yours.

We have decided to
send you to San Sebastian.

Do you know the place?

Father Ignacio and Francisco
and like yourself is in-charge.

For a long time, we have been
without news from him.

Take him your apostolic flame.

Let god's will be done.

Our thoughts will go with you.

Father Joseph,
I have the governor's promise

that Leon alastray
will have a fair trial.

I swear it.

Do not impede
the justice of the state.

And I promise his excellency
will revoke his decision

to send you to San Sebastian.

I will try to be
worthy of my task there.

Well, merchant,
what do we have here?

Nothing but pottery,
I swear by the virgin.

Well, move on.

Here is the priest.

Quite a load, father.

- You're going some place?
- San Sebastian.

San Sebastian?
Never heard of it.

Excuse me, father,
not that we mistrust you, but it's orders.

Can you tell me
what happened, my son?

We are looking
for a group of rebels.

Three of them have already been
arrested or killed,

the fourth one has found refuge
in a monastery.

Oh. I see.

That's why priests come
under suspicion.

Let's see under the canvas.

You'll find some food for the road,
hay for my burrow and a little straw.

Is that all you have
in your cart?

Yes. That's all
that I have in my cart.

Well, father, move on
and have a good trip.

Thank you, my son.
And god watch over you.

My son, this is the last village
before the long desert begins.

Fortunately, I know a priest here
who will give me a bed for the night.

Good.

I'm sure he'll welcome you too.

No, thanks,
I, I know a good bed.

Well... I guess this is
the parting of the ways?

Oh.

May god watch over you, my son.

Thank you. Well... Goodbye.

Oh.

You really going to that
godforsaken place?

No place is godforsaken.

Wait until you see
San Sebastian.

Hey, are they sending you there
because, because of me?

There might be a connection.

Then you're a fool.

Perhaps.

But what should I have done?

You should've handed me over
to the governor.

God placed your life in my
hands and I obeyed his will.

Then god is a fool too.

No, god must see
some good in you.

Though I Grant he has
very sharp eyes too see it.

Well, tell him to
keep his eyes shut tonight.

Come, Leon, wake up. Wake up.

Come on.

Will you let me sleep?

Oh, just a minute, Leon.
Just a minute.

Listen, listen.

I wasted enough of my life
in this dreadful place.

And the governor... Well,
he and I... Even before I became a widow.

Well... The good news is I'm
marrying the governor next month.

That was a fast promotion.

And of course the governor will
be persuaded to give you a pardon.

That's nice.

And there will be
a fine position for you.

Hey.

Did you, did you see an old,
an old priest, he was...

- He stayed here last night.
- Father Joseph?

- Yes, that's right.
- He's just down the road.

Oh. Oh, thank you.

Priest! Hold on!

Wait!

- Well, good morning, my son.
- listen...

- Listen, old man.
- What a magnificent surprise.

I came to tell you,
listen, old man.

I must keep going, my son.

I still have a long ways to go,
you know?

Listen to me.
Don't go to San Sebastian.

The yaqui's will
cut you to pieces.

They will play ball
with your head.

- That is for god to decide.
- Look, old man...

That cart will never make it.

That mule's gonna die,
and you will die!

The buzzards will eat you.

If you had listen to me we
wouldn't be in this, in this hell hole!

You are an idiot!

I should've let you come alone.

I should've let you die.

What the hell am I doing here?

You are troubled, my son.

Is that you're a tormented man.

I'm hot, I'm thirsty,
and I'm stupid to be here.

- My son.
- What?

Here, put this on.

It will protect you
from the sun.

Thank you.

And who knows, perhaps it will
bring you a little faith.

Hey. Oh, I had plenty of faith
the other night.

Hey, priest, do you wanna hear
my confession?

No, thank you.

Come on, it'll make you feel
ten years younger!

- Or perhaps older!
- yeah.

How much further, my son?

One and a half day.

We still have a long walk.

You thought we were there?

I warned you.

We'll go on... As soon
as I catch my breath.

You want some?

Wine?

So what?

You drink it every morning
when you say mass, don't you?

That's different.

Why?

Because you call it
the blood of Christ?

Priest? Look.

Thank you, god.

Well, priest?

You still say there's no
godforsaken place?

What the hell are you doing?

Christians always respond
to the sound of a bell.

What christians?

Rocks? Lizards, shakes?

Perhaps someone is still alive.

Please, you ring the bell.

I am too weak.

Here, hold this.

Oh, I feel stupid.

Oh, that's enough.

Hey, priest... look!

A Christian!

No, no. There.

Doggy, doggy.

Hey.

Doggy.

Come here.

That's a good dog.

Nice dog.

Hey, dog?

Don't do that, my son.

Don't do what?

You are strong enough
never to die of hunger.

Listen, you worry
about your prayers.

I worry about my stomach.

Hey, dog!

Dog!

Hey, dog!

You see, you made me lose him!

Dog!

Get inside!

Priest? Get in!

Hey, priest!
This one is no Indian.

Come on, priest.

Easy.

I think... The end has come,
my son.

I think so too.

Here.

Tell me,
my son... Why did you shoot at us?

Son... Do you hear him?

Tell him why you shot.

Listen,
you son... You must confess.

Confess.

Confess!

Come on, son.

Confess.

Listen,
you bastard... The old man is dying.

When he stops
breathing... You will too.

He is not a very good Christian.

He will not confess.

My son all my life I've never
asked anything for myself until now.

Please bury me the way
I... Came into the world.

Without my cassock.

With nothing...
Like a franciscan.

Are you happy now... With all that,
all that bell ringing?

Is that the Christian
you were calling?

Let the man go.

What?

Let him herd
his cattle in peace.

Tsk! Father you're delirious.

That's the bastard who shot you.

Promise me... To let him go.

I promise.

The moment you are
dead I will let him go.

I thank you,
my son... But let him go now.

What's the matter?
Don't you trust me?

I trust you, my son.

Let him go.

Al right.

Get the hell out of here.

Out!

Get out, you bastard!

Are you satisfied now?

Tonight, that bastard,
he will drink to your health.

This is the priest
who kicks people?

Yes, him!

I am no priest.

You still want to hear
my confession, priest?

- Is he dead?
- I don't know.

He's been shot.

Who are you?

He's been shot,
but there's no wound.

He's been shot,
but there is no wound.

Who are you?

Don't talk, father.
We heard the bell.

He's alive!

You take a long time to die.

What's the matter?
Wouldn't your god open the gate?

Well, don't worry. We'll let you
knock again, priest.

I am no priest.

Did you hear that?

He says he's no priest.

If you're wise you'll
go back to the hills!

Every time you have a
priest here the Indians come!

Teclo, priest or no priest
the yaquis will come again

no matter what you do to
him because we are christians.

No. No, you are wrong.

There are no christians here!

And this place
is no longer a church!

Goats and wild pigs use it.

It's a home for the bats
and scorpions.

Teclo speaks for me.

I trusted this man's god
and the yaquis killed our son!

Please, agueda.
Don't be part of this.

To kill a priest... And your son
was not the only one, antonito.

We are not christians anymore.

You fools!

You think that's why
the yaquis attacked

and killed our people
because we were christians?

They attacked because
our corn bins were full.

And teclo, you know it.

Since you moved into the hills
have the yaquis attacked you?

Teclo speaks the truth.

Hang the priest
from the tree again!

Pedro, tie him.

Listen to me, everyone!

If you let them kill the priest then
you are no better than the yaquis.

She is right.
To kill is a mortal sin.

Teclo, let him live.

Please.

I'll do this for you... Once.

Priest... You have one day
to get your strength back

and one day to
get over the mountains.

If not... on the third day...
Just like your book says...

You will rise, priest.

I have... I have a
terrible terrible fault.

I don't like to take orders.

I will get out of here.

Maybe tomorrow...
Maybe next week.

But I will decide
that... Not you.

Don't!

Your San Sebastian
was with you today.

Look.

Look... a miracle.

A sign from god!

On your knees.

On your knees, agueda.

Kneel, wife.

It's a miracle.

A miracle?

Then give me my son back!

Look.

Look!

- I want to tell you something.
- father!

Father!

Listen to me. Let me talk!

Father.

Father, we are unworthy.

So, you all want miracles?

Bleeding statues
don't build houses.

And they don't plant the corn.

Get off your knees and be men.

This is your village.
Protect it!

Fight for it.

That is my first sermon
and my last.

And now get
the hell out of here!

Father? Leon: Yes?

Is it sacrilege
to bring food into the church?

No, no. Of course not.

I'll... I'll bless it.

The people... You made
them feel very ashamed.

Yes.

They're not bad people.

Just frightened.

They were very impressed
by the miracle.

The only miracle I've seen
today... Are these beans.

Father... Once I... I
thought of becoming a nun.

What made you change your mind?

Well... To tell you that you
would have to hear my confession.

Would you?

Would I what?

Hear my confession?

Sure.

If you'll hear mine first.

I don't understand.

I'll make it short.

I'm not a priest.

If you ever need money..

There's a prize on my head.

No, it's not true.

That's my confession.
You wanna tell me yours?

So you're leaving?

Where are you going?

What difference does it make?

A man goes from the place
he is born to the place he dies.

If you find you miss
me try hermosillo.

There is nowhere you can go for
you're needed as much as here.

You've given us hope.

Oh.

So, you liked my, confession?

We must have a priest.

Only a priest in our church
can bring this village back to life.

And right now, you're the only
one who even looks like a priest.

But I don't feel like a priest.

No one knows about you but me.

And I can teach you to say
mass and the sacraments

until a real priest comes.

I've another confession.

What?

I don't believe in god.

You have condemned
this place to death!

Oh, father!

- You have come to greet us.
- Well, I... We are honored.

But the bell. Who is that?

- Oh...
- We were afraid it was you.

No, it wasn't.

Last night,
in the hills, we talked.

- You should've been there.
- Oh, yes.

We decided
to come back and fight.

But of course,
some denounced you as a... a troublemaker.

Oh, they did?

Some as an explorer from Spain.

Oh, Spain? Trouble... But most of us,
as you see are with you.

Here.

Take the monstrance.

We saved it from the yaquis.

My wife has the cassock.

Father Ignacio was a
big man but of small size.

But my wife will alter it.

- Yes, but listen...
- Here is your incenser.

Complete with chain.

- But...
- To the village, friends.

Father?

You see how fine
San Miguel looks?

Oh, yes, he looks fine.

But,
isn't he... Isn't he missing something?

Of course, the broom!

Father, a Lance.

San Miguel chasing
the dragon with the Lance.

Oh, I know. The Lance!

- He's making fun!
- see. Of course.

A Lance with a point of gold.

The yaqui chief has it now.

That's why he's called
golden Lance.

Oh.

What we need is a Saint
with a shovel.

Father, father! Teclo is coming!

Teclo is coming!
Father, teclo is coming!

Quick, father,
hide in the church.

No, hide in my house.
It'll be safe there.

Once for you..

Hot twice.

Priest, I gave you three days.

Yes, well,
I... I was invited to stay and I...

And I don't like to be impolite.

Teclo... We,
talked together and... We... we have...

We have decided that
this priest will stay.

Oh..

Now you have two
strong fighters to lead you.

A man who trembles when
he speaks to me and the priest.

But you will be lying here with
yaqui arrow in your stomach

and he will be in there mumbling
prayers and you will watch your wife

being raped by these yaquis.

And he will being there
burning a candle for her.

Because he is a priest!

You are a priest, no?

If you want to call me father
you have my permission.

Then you believe in turning the
other cheek as your god preached.

If that's what my god preached.

You see he turns
the other cheek.

But to live as we must
live is to be ready to kill.

And he has no taste for it.

You slap very hard.

Why don't you kill me?

Let me kill him, teclo.

You see?

He can do it.

Because he's an animal.

But if I'm gonna be killed,
I want you to do it.

But you won't and
another and another.

And they will ring the bell.

And these people will answer...
Because they want to believe.

And that is his problem.

How to stop you
from wanting to believe.

You see,
teclo... You'll have to kill them all.

You pray for him?

Take him!

I give him to you for a present.

Al right, let's get back to work.

Come on, come on, back to work.

- Father.
- Yes?

We use this as a Lance
for San Miguel.

Would you like to place it?

We'll get the real one back.

What the hell are you
supposed to be growing here?

Corn. But it has been too dry.

We only have one crop a year.

We need water, father. Water.

Well, what about the stream
at the foot of the village?

We can't count on the stream.

Sometimes it is dry all year.

Father, believe us,
we know the problem.

We can only count on rain.

Al right,
we'll follow the stream.

All we have to do is build
a dam at the top.

It's good, a priest who builds
a dam instead of a church.

Come in.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Yes?

Father, they've come back.

Well, good.

We can use some strong backs.

Won't you, please?

You'll make another miracle
with your dam?

Kino, the only miracle is this village
is coming back to life. Come on.

We hope that you're right
in what you're doing.

I... I hope so, too.

We gave up the safety
of the hills, priest.

- Teclo's protection.
- Protecting what?

For you to live like dogs?

But when we have a priest
and houses and bins of corn

the eyes of the yaquis
are upon us.

And the soldiers from the city
come too.

To take it from us.
Teclo has warned us.

Teclo's right.
You want a full belly?

You want a roof over your head?
You have to pay the price.

You have to fight for it.

We'll build the dam.

Rake the corn.

But teclo says the yaqui fight
the holy war.

And if he's right...
We die for no priest.

Well, if the yaquis come
for a priest... They will kill me.

I'll take the risk.

Look, the donkeys are loaded,
I have to leave for the dam.

Make your choice
and make it now.

Come on.

Another log!

Well, father, the last log.

Well, let's place it.

I never thought
this day would come.

- Me neither.
- father.

- Aren't you going to bless it?
- Bless what?

This log, the last one.

Oh, yes, of course.

Come on.

Move it in.

I see you have brought your
patron Saint from the church.

Do you celebrate the death
of this water fall?

Where there was music
now there is silence!

- You have killed it!
- You are right, teclo!

The sound of a water fall
is beautiful.

What about the sound of
a child crying from hunger?

- I'll kill you!
- No, father!

No, father!

No further!

The yaquis!

The yaquis!

You! You and your dam
and your corn!

Look at your village now.

It's dead!

Father! Come!
Father! Father!

Don't look. Please, agueda.

Please, agueda. Calm, please.

For 30 years my husband took care of
your church and the yaquis killed him!

Why?

- Agueda, I can't explain.
- Get out of here, priest!

We want no prayers.

No bells.

I understand.

Pablo, pour some water on that
wagon before it catches fire.

Did you hear me?

Go and pray somewhere else.

To hell with you.
Get out of this village, priest!

Look what you've done to us!

Now, get out!

They're right, it's my fault.

Don't blame yourself.

I was so close.

All my life I've been so close.

And always I have failed.

- You didn't fail!
- you call this success?

I can't stand sniveling.
Stop your sniveling!

I wanna tell you something.

Have you ever wondered
why I stayed here?

Was it because of that...
That crazy old priest?

Was it because of a god
I... I don't even believe in?

Oris it because... Because
for the first time in my life I...

I felt important.

And I like the, the
"yes, father.” "no, father."

"God bless you, father."

Or is it because of you?

I think it was because of you.

It's good to feel like
a man again.

I've been a priest too long.

Get out. Come on, get out.

Take my mule.

You cannot walk
across the desert.

If 1 ride off,
you won't see her again.

That's my present... For
the vision you gave us.

Thanks for the mule, old man.

But remember... You
won't see me again.

Not in San Sebastian.

Perhaps in heaven?

I promise you, not in heaven.

I brought you food and water.

Old Miguel said
you left with nothing.

You came to save my skin?

I felt that... I had to
come after last night.

Last night was last night.

Live for today.

It's less misery.

- I have to ask you.
- What?

- Last night...
- Yes.

The way you,
the way you kissed me and touched me.

Was it because you love me?

You know, kinita,
last night I was drunk.

You know,
w... when men are drunk they...

People say drunk men
tell the truth.

People say a lot of things.

Don't believe what people say.

And most of all,
don't believe... Kinita...

Do you know
what you really want?

You want words.

Pretty words.

And I can't say pretty words.

Wait. I brought your robe.

You keep it as a souvenir.

Look, how far do you intend
to follow me?

What the hell
do you wanna hear from me?

Nothing.

Just take the robe.

I told you, I don't want it.

You're a wanted man,
the first town you come to

they'll see your soldier's
pants and boots.

Take the robe.

I want that horse, catch him!
The white one.

Teclo and golden Lance together,
I can't believe...

Your people cursed me
and spat on me.

All because of that bastard.

We've got to tell the village,
they'll understand now...

They wouldn't believe you or me.

You go back now.

Look.

You say nothing.

Will you be safe?

- I know the hills.
- Al right.

What're you going to do?

Look, I don't like promises.

I love to travel.

Perhaps for our honeymoon,
the governor and I will see Europe.

But... So many problems here.

- What? What is it?
- There is a priest outside.

He requests an audience
with you.

A priest?

Oh, these priests.
Another charity no doubt.

Sunday's are not
enough for them now.

Well, give him some money,
what ever he wants.

He does not want money, senora.

He says he is your confessor.

My confessor?

He says he would like to
see you about a certain poopy.

Oh.

Excuse me.

- Leon!
- Father Leon.

Let me see.

Oh, what a clever disguise.

Oh, yes, yes it is, isn't it?

But, darling I'm in the middle
of a very important dinner.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- But... Tonight, between 11 and 12

there is a back gate,
I'll see you.

I came for something else,
poopy.

Oh, first of all,
don't call me poopy here.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Now, Leon.

If it's about the job I promised you...
- Felicia. - Well...

Felicia, you found
another stable boy.

- Well, you know my husband...
- But anyway.

I want much more than that.

More?

What more can you want?

I want to talk to your husband.

Leon, I warn you.

This place is filled
with soldiers.

I will tell the governor
you have a price on your head.

And I will tell the governor
you have a beauty spot on your...

Leon! You wouldn't dare
ruin all this for me.

Wouldn't 1?

What do you want?

You want a Cannon?

Fifty kegs of powder.

Two hundred muskets.

And 50 cases of ammunition.

- Exactly, sir.

Is this man a priest
or a general?

Oh, darling,
he was my confessor.

Well, what such a sweet,
innocent little dear have to confess?

Oh.

A devout Christian.

San Sebastian,
isn't that the place

where I sent the contingent
three years ago?

- I believe I...
- Yes, a major disaster.

Pardon me, were you ever
a chaplain of the army, father?

No, no, no, I was never
a chaplain in the army, my son.

My men where massacred before
they even reached the place.

And you expect me to send
troops again just for a few mud huts?

Those huts, sir,
belong to your people.

And I'm not asking you for
troops I'm only asking you for...

But, darling, he's only asking for
some guns and some silly bullets.

Felicia, please, I married you to
be my wife not my military adviser.

- Oh!
- Governor.

Can we get back to what we were...
- Back to San Sebastian? - Yes.

Well, I'm sorry, father, but you
put me in the most difficult position.

Governor, there are 75 souls
on San Sebastian

who'd be delighted to change
positions with you.

- You're a most unusual priest.
- Well... Most unusual.

Well, old man.

Did she, did she behave herself?

Fine. But don't expect her back.

A present is a present.

Now, what the hell is this?

Oh, this is San Sebastian.

Captain, tell your men to place
the Cannon over there and...

We've been riding 14 days
across the desert

to bring two wagon loads of arms
to an empty village?

Oh, the people are in the hills but,
they will be back.

I refuse to abandon an arsenal
to a priest and an old idiot.

As an officer, I must make
decisions that fit the situation.

The guns go back.

Men, dismount,
we leave tomorrow morning.

- Well, goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- Happy dreams, my son.
- Thank you.

I suppose we're leaving
before sun up?

We? We leave?

Well, I must face my bishop,
and you the governor.

And report our failure.

What failure?

Our mission.

I didn't fail in my mission.

I was told to proceed to
the village of San Sebastian

with arms and munitions,
number one.

- Right.
- Number two.

Deliver the guns to the
population of San Sebastian.

Number three, return immediately

to Garrison headquarters
upon completion of the mission.

Where have I failed?

Number two.

We did not deliver the guns
to the population.

But there is no one here.

Oh, that's true.

But the orders do not say that
the population is in the village.

Father!

Well, father,
I've accomplished my mission.

You saved both our necks.

I will recommend you
to the governor.

Well, you've got
everything you've wanted.

Although,
god knows why you bother?

I don't know.

I leave this hell hole to you.

Thank you.

Lancers, forward!

So, you force us to return.

Now your soldiers are going,
priest.

How will you hold us?

Well, agueda, I hope
you will all stay because...

Because y'all choose to stay.

When your protectors are
gone we will kill you for this.

Diego, you will kill no one.

You are a coward,
like all the rest.

Why don't you call for help?

Your soldiers
can still hear you.

I call for no help.

You are the weaklings
always crying for help.

For years you hide behind
teclo and his 17 vaqueros.

You run to the hills
and you hide like animals.

I fight my own battles.

Straighten up!

Al right, kneel.

Rifles up!

Aim!

Fire!

Back the line.

Kneel!

Rifles up!

Hammers back.

Aim!

Fire!

What about the wall?
Do I have to build it alone?

No, the governor didn't
send you here to work alone.

Men, will you help Mr. cayetano
with the wall?

- Father.
- Yes.

This, father,
is just a rough sketch.

I see.

But soon you will see
a finished plan.

What I am going to build for
you will be worthy of ancient Egypt

and imperial Rome.

My friend, all I want is a wall.

Just a, a simple wall.

Simple wall?

A simple wall!

Renaldo, careful.

Slowly with that dirt,
not too much water.

Hey! Over there!

They need some stones
over there!

Pascal! I asked you
for some tree trunks!

Work's not going up very fast.

Father, for more than 20 days
and nights I have not shut my eyes.

Listen, cayetano, I didn't
bring you here to sleep.

Double the work time.

It's workers I need!
Not corpses!

I burned the village, but the priest
came back with guns and soldiers.

You see, it's always the same.

They build a house and then the
priest comes and he builds a church.

And soon all around
the church, there's a village.

After the priest
come the soldiers.

They put up a flag and say,
"now this belongs to us."

And they steal the food,
they steal the horses.

And more, they take the women.

They make a race of half-breeds.

- Like you?
- like me.

When the harvest is ready,
we will attack.

Then we will have our corn.

And you will have your people
back in the hills.

Kino, how soon
can the corn be picked?

Three days. Four at the most.

Cayetano, how soon
can you finish the wall?

Fifteen days. At least.

The corn is growing
faster than your wall.

Three weeks, earlier
than the other years.

The grains are bigger, sweeter.

Thank to your dam,
they had enough water.

We will be the first
village the yaquis will attack.

Cayetano,
I want the wall finished

before golden Lance gets here,
you understand?

I'm a master builder.

You're telling me to hurry!

Why don't you tell
golden Lance to wait?

You tell him.

He's not a man who will listen.

And I know he wants
that white horse.

Maybe we'll make a bargain.

Hiya!

Pacho. Hey, hey, pacho.

How's your horse coming along?

Better than your wall.
Hey, hey, hey.

I'll have it finished
before you tame that horse.

You wanna bet?

Hey, pacho. Hey, pacho.

Come on, boy!

Yeah. o0h!

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

I've come to see golden Lance.

Golden Lance, I've come
to talk... peace with you.

Do you understand?

I understand you very well.

You speak much about peace
than your language.

Especially when
the other side is stronger.

I, I chose to come alone.

No one forced me.

Priest, look at these rocks.

Five thousand yaquis were
massacred here by your soldiers

in the name
of your god of peace.

I was a child.

I saw blood running down
these rocks... like a river.

I come in the name of no god.

I come as a man,
who does not wish

to see his village destroyed
in the name of your gods.

You lie!

Your village is full of
soldiers, ready to kill us.

There are no soldiers
in my village.

If one day you want to come as a
friend you will be greeted as a friend.

If you need food,
we will share it with you.

Golden Lance... I have... I have
brought you a gift... In friendship.

This horse.

If you accept,
there need be no bloodshed.

If you refuse,
let the first blood be mine.

How can your trade
your pride for a horse?

How that sly priest
must be laughing now.

He is thinking the yaqui
is so easy to cheat.

And from far away,
they seem like lions.

But with a few words and a
horse he turns them into sheep.

Hey!

Come on, you men, help unload!

Father! Father! Look!

You see, father, you can't cross
the land like golden Lance.

At least he's honorable.
He warned us.

Call the people in
from the fields.

Diego, pass up the muskets
and that powder.

- Yes, father.
- timoteo.

Take some men
and place the canon.

Father... do we have time
to finish the wall?

I don't think so, cayetano.

When will they attack, father?

I wish to god I knew.

Could be any moment.

And many of us will die.

Yes, Luis there's
a great possibility.

Carlos! Hurry with the wagon!

We have been busy building vans,
walls and harvesting the corn

but we have never
heard you say mass.

Well, you know,
as the Bible says... Before we die.

Many of us would like
to hear mass, father.

Please.

- Well, I... I don't know...
- Please, father.

Al right.

Gather the people in the church.

What are you going to do?

I will... say a mass.

My friends... You have
come to hear mass.

I know you want to hear words that
will make the coming battle easier.

I wish to god I knew the words.
I don't.

You see, a few months ago,
I came here with an old man.

His name was... father Joseph.

He was a real priest.
I don't know..

Maybe he was a real Saint.

Anyway, he died
for what he believed.

Then... Well, then,
I put on his robe.

I hope I have not brought a
dishonor but I must tell you...

I am not a priest.

Now it doesn't matter
who I am or what I am.

You're not fighting for me,
you're not fighting for the robe

you're fighting for yourselves.

You've a right to believe,
what you want to believe.

Now if you still wanted your
mass... We will have it at the wall.

Everybody down!

Don't fire.

Maybe they won't attack.

Fire!

Fire.

Rifle!

Rifle!

Rifle! Man 4: Look out!

Carlos!
Bring the wagons and powder!

Powder!

Alvarez!

The barrels!

Everybody down!

Al right!

Kino!

- Ready!
- Ready!

Do you think they'll come back?

Golden Lance will return.

He'll never accept
being defeated by a wall.

All this was not enough.

How much ammunition do we have?

- Can't we beat them?
- Two hours of ammunition.

Maybe. Five barrels of powder.

Then we are finished.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot!

It's me, Pablo.

Come on. Come on!

You little fool
sneaking out like this!

I've been crazy looking for you.

I told you
not to leave the village.

I saw the Indians.
I saw their camp.

I saw them getting guns.

I don't care what you did.

Ageuda, leave the boy alone.

Pablito, tell me,
wh... what did you see?

Guns, many of them. Teclo and
Pedro are handing 'em out.

- You're lying!
- He's telling the truth.

You're right, teclo.

That's what it is.

I should have killed you
the first day I saw you.

The way things turned out,
I think you're right.

Tell me this, half-breed.

Does the Spanish half of your
blood always betray the Indian half?

I've seen a lot of blood
running in my life.

Blood is blood,
it's all the same.

But there's always a teclo,
trying to make a difference.

Now what you do? Kill me?

Then kill me!

Oh.

But this church is in ruins.

Yes, but your excellency,
the wall stands.

We had to finish the wall first.

Must I report to the bishop that the
people of San Sebastian built a wall

when your church is in ruins?

The village was saved
because of the wall.

- Saved from what?
- The yaquis!

It was the duty of your priest
to save your souls.

- Where is your priest?
- There is no priest here.

The last one
is buried down below.

He was an old man
and... And a little crazy.

He saw guiding people and
not in the stones of the church.

As I say he was a little crazy.

Oh, yes. I'm beginning
to understand.

Father Lucas,
god has sent you here.

This is your new parish.

Stay and rebuild the church.

More beautiful
than it was before.

A victory was won here but remember
it was not because of walls and men.

It was because it
was the will of god.

Tomorrow, I will say mass,
my children.

Father, may I present myself?

Felipe cayetano, architect.

I will build for you
a cathedral.

A masterpiece.

Thank you, my son.

But first, there are more
urgent matters.

God knows his house can wait.

I imagine a young priest
staying in a village like this

has to give up hopes of ever
wearing purple robes and fancy rings?

Come, my children.
Enough for all.

I've never cared much about
robes or rings.

In a few days, he will forget
that San Sebastian exists.

And he will forget you too.

The sooner the better.

By the way, this belonged
to that... That crazy old priest.

Take him alive!

Gentlemen, are you by any chance
following me?

Where will you go?

This time only...
Only god knows.
