Original subtitles

"all wars begin long before from firing the first shot "

"and continues long after the latest has completed its mission"

when fascism and communism spread across Europe,

In Spain, established a new republic with a leftist government.

after years of political and social instability in the summer of 1936

a group of generals of the army led an uprising

which became a bitter and lengthy civil war.

Families were broken, the brothers killed each other

they had to swear on the Bible

or spit on it

all faced the same question:

"and you are on which side ?"

THERE BE DRAGONS

This film is inspired by real events

I was a war baby.

but luckily for me ,I hadn't have to fight

in any of the 165 wars that have occurred in my lifetime

my father ,wasn't so lucky

when he was a young man

every one in Spain had to take sides and take up arms

the decision may have taken a second

but the consequences lasted the rest of his life

he never talked about the war

until I was asked to write a book about a dead priest

(Josemaria Escriva)

and then he began to talk and talk

and talk

and that's how I went looking for a saint and found my father instead

I think it was Oscar Wilde who wrote : (Irish-born poet author and playwright who spent most of his career in England, author of "The Picture of Dorian Gray)

"Every saint has a past"

"and every sinner has a future"

Josemaria !

father ! ,quick

quick get a doctor

in june 1976 , the nun was at the point of death

diagnosed with a multiple granulomatous tumor

causing pain

and turning a mass the size of an orange on her left shoulder

cured in a sudden and lasting way

"...servant of Gad (Josemaria Escriva)

"have been invoked"

to my son ,Roberto Torres (delivered after my death)

I was 9

when Josemaria's path crossed mine

a long time ago

Roberto ,you were often told me that I was a terrible father

what I never told you, is that I agree with you

there's so much I haven't told you that you need to know

so if you want to hear about the past I'll tell you

but I warn you : THERE BE DRAGONS

Manolo ,are you ok ?

you got me

I was a little terror like most boys

Josemaria was no saint either

there was one day ,he almost kill me

good ride my boy come on

Paro?

- stop ,stop - no ,come one

drive it like a Torres ,Manolo ! faster

Manolo,are you alright?

are you mad?!

Josemaria,I speak to your father he should give you a beating

I hate this city

I'm tempted to sell everything and go back to Madrid

- can I drive again papa? - no Manolo ,enough

Fairy Tales Dragons II

here is the first one

see ?

there are many kinds of dragons you will have to face

she scares me

don't be scared ,Manolo

- how many dragons are there ,Abileyza ? - many Josemaria

but what matter is how you will face them as you shal see

Josemaria's nany talked about dragons as if they really existed

a quarter of a century passed before I realized she was right

but things happend is Josemaria's life

that ment he underestood this before I did

my baby ,why ?

Josemaria lost three sisters

I lost a baby brother

in those days death was part of life

mama ?

do you hate God now ?

no dearest

I love him very much

will you hate him when he takes me away

come here

I'm sorry about your sister

Josemaria's father owned that chocolate factory

the manager was a strange old guy

O Hon�rio.

we know we like what's here

we know that we want what's here

but what is here exactly ?

just set this on your tongue

for five seconds

now chew ,three times

Manolo ,you taste what ?

armond

armond ?!

- cinnamon - cinnamon ?!

don't scoff

yes ,cinnamon

alright you can go

Josemaria, you stay here

I scolded Manolo for mugging wasn't count experience

not because he couln't experience it

huh ,look at this

ugly ,isn't it ?

just a poor ordinary little bean

yet patient...,

skill ,hard work

and love

end unleash the divine flavors hidden with in it

here

do you understand the lesson ?

but not everyone has taste the divine in it

why is that I wonder...

Manolo!

wait for me !

stop Manolo

my favorite trick in those days

was stealing Josemaria's dad's chocolates

but then his dad went bankrupt and lost the chocolate factory

...and I wasn't allowed to play with Josemaria anymore

my dad thought poverty was contagious

he said that Josemaria wasn't one of us

and my dad could be quite persuasive

my dad had more money

more cars

more houses

but Josemaria had more "dads"

I see the envy began to grow in me

in a child's heart many seeds are planted

you never quite know what will grow

I'm sure he didn't see us

around that time ,Josemaria changed

I'll tell you the story as he told it to me

one cold winter night

Josemaria saw footprints in the snow outside his house

he fallowed him

and then he saw someone

and he felt that God was calling him

it was unusual in those days

for a young man to want to become a priest

like it or not most young men were celibate

at least as a priest ,you got pay for it

the priesthood was an career option

but for Josemaria , it was an secret calling

do you know what are you taking on son ?

yes papa

no one to love ,human love I mean

no family on your own

- no sons - I know papi

and is this the wisest time to become a priest ?!

probably not

is your father's still selling underpants Josemaria ?

backstabbing careerist

you vegetal pig !

what lesson did you drow form this ?

to control my temper

Torres ,what did you call the seminarist Escriva ?

a vegital pig !

and you ,what did you call Torres ?

a backstabbing careerist

sorry monsenior I can't stand this type

a backstabbing careerist

so that defines it ?

what his father is rich so he thinks he can act like a pain in the ass

that's not the somthing I had in the mind Escriva

yet ,isn't someone else his father ?

and yours ?

remember...

the withholding of forgiveness it the one thing that our Lord made clear

that will not be forgiven

so...

do you thing that the two hotheads a "hipcrita" and a "loser"

can be good priests ?

well I think it's possible

I really do

well..

he was wrong about me

your job is to make them to go away

- so that my factory can get back to work - What we can do?

go

- I think that they're just trying to feed there familys ,papa - what ?

your workers

rabble! rabble!

Manolo, when things went too shuffle

a man has only on duty

and that is choosing the winning side

come on

- grat to see you - you too

nice car

where did you get all this ?

they're my dad's files from 50's

- there's more in the hotel - he actcually sent this stuff to you ?!

- yeah - you are making progress

what's the reason for the change ?

I don't know I almost afraid to find out

"Foundation for the sick" God ,such a different world

Josemaria wrote to me once a year until he died

I never wrote back ,but he kept writing anyway

in his letters ,he told me the terms that his life was taking

Hon�rio!

Josemaria!

oh ,look at you

give me your hand

how's my old employer ?

papa died four years ago Hon�rio.

I said my first mass for him

do you remember...

...about the chocolate bean ?

of course

it was a great lesson

I'm sorry ,that won't work

why not ?

because...

...I'm jewish

you know ,the love of my life is jewish

once thought I'd covert

but ,I couldn't disorder my father

Honoring O Parinsis is the sweetest priest of the Novario

and very dear to God but Jesus Christ...

but he won't turn his back on me when I stand before him ,will he ?

what I know for sure is that he loves you very much

thank you

I was afraid of dying here alone

please ,pray with me father

and the love our God

with all your heart and with all your mind

and with all your soal

our father

who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name

we come to Thy kingdom and Thy will be done ...

and this work is to include wemon ?

yes your exellency

they will live separately but all work will include them

and will also be open to married people

living in the same institutin ?

it's not a institution or a movement

it's just a fmily of individuals

and no , married couples will live at home

it's all seems father...

...protestant.

that God is to be found

in a daily life

outside holy orders

no walls

no hobbys

well Jesuse've been most of his life working in a shop

in Nazareth.

God's world is so full of...

God's world is so full of goodness

if we do them for love

each daily task can gave him glory

small but regular acts of love between husbands and wives

between friends , between strangers...

each revealing the beauty of his creation

and you want to open a new residence in Valencia ?

yes

and one day in New York ,Paris ,London...

- and .and Tokyo - it's a long way to Tokyo

and...no money at to speak of?

- well I can provided it - no I didn't come to ask for that

I ask only for your permission

for me and for the work

and you shall have them

father Escriva

I offer you a job as my secretary

in time this will lead you to a career

that might provide you ifluence that you would need

to realize...this dream of yours

so ,what do you say ?

- I said now thank you - Santi...

now it won't be easy I know

but I always see there's a roof over your heads and food on the table ,no ?

actually...I have an idea

"in Latin".

Agustin?

"Pecunia"...

- I can't do it sir - yes you can

you will learn and I will learn to teach you

damn it

I'm sorry father , sorry but...

I can't ,the smell

I can't

how's your Latin ?

go

Bandits! Bandits! How can you do this?

- you know my father's sick - because he's...

damn unions I've always said that they going to kill him

he had a troke ,the doctor has just left

papa ?

good afternoon ,brother

brother ?

Josemaria

I know who you are Josemaria

I heared your sad news Manolo

you have been in my prays

thank you ,but I dont need your

Por mais sincera que seja.

- whatever struggles you are experiences you.. - stuggles ?

well ,whatever doubts you may having

doubts ,struggles

I blindly went into (Saminari) because of my mother

I left because I wasn't priest material

as you know

well mabe not...

but doesn't mean your not saint material

you know ?

my recurring nightmare is that I was partly to blame for your leaving

no Josemaria

unlike you I choose to live in the real world

- but I appreciate your concern - it's not concern TManolo

it's love

our Lord said love and love was what he ment

and we love each other no ?

Josemaria ,the truth is...

that we were born alone and we die alone

all we have in between is a battle that I want to win it

The rest the nonsense

well ,I will leave you

call me

I'll come I promise

you don't give up ,do you ?

it may help you to find some meaning for your suffering ,Manolo

suffering has a meaning it's meaningless

if you can show me otherwise I'll kiss your ass that's my promise

I know what it is to be angry at life

please be careful where that leads you to ,Manolo

sheep

around that time that Josemaria got a call from god

I also got a call from on of old friend of my fathers

huh Toress

good morning

well ?

- a spy ? - yes ,you ?

but I expected somthing more

with the king gone ,Spain has lost center of gravity

which we will now recreate by force if it needs to be

and other means

- but our government is elected it's popular - it's time is over

The Government is a rotten apple, just shake it and maggots appear.

maggots ?

socialists who want a socialist state,

stalinists who want a Stalinist state,

anarchists who want no state at all

- Manolo we want to create a new Spain - a united Spain

- plans with blood ,if it's necessary... - resurrected...great

- and it want's war as before - and admire

Exactly, that's right! Are we clear!

they called us fascists

we called them communists

really ,the war was much complicated than that

but many prefer to see it in those simpelified terms(manner)

three years later ,half a milion people were dead

most of them civilians

but even in times like these,

some people are more interested

in hads and shoes

I thought you were going to buy a new shoes

yes..I was but somthing else came up

what was that ?

- no I met a lady who... - who needed a hat

- and some breakfast - yes ,and some lunch

thank you

sit down please Peter ,Isidore

so ?

This group that moves you from your homes ,what's it called?

we don't have a name mama we just refer it as "Gods work"

in Latin would sound better

Opus Dei.

I know your donkey may like funds

but the work has found it's name

what's next ?

the communist's strike killed my father

now it was my turn to strike

get him out of the cat

Unionist rabble ...

take him

Let us show you how God loke like

where is your gun ?

this is not a game

he killed your father

damn it ,this bastard is shitthing his pants

do it

do it damn it

Pedro

- you're crazy - no I'm not

you are crazy

- he will hate the whole idea - well let's ask him

- ask me ? -this

we gonna put it up all over Madrid

not me father ,not me

- a crusade - yes father

using the cross to incite hate and anger

that's christian ?

well mabe not

but father the government is opening the attack of the church

- no it isn't it's trying to modernize the Spain - come on ,Pedro

if we dont do somthin we are just cowards or worse ,traitors

- traitors ? - yes that's what people are saying

standing by while the church get's attack

how is that being a good catholic ?

Pedro, is it understandable to want to protect the church ?

yes father

- juan, is it uderstandable to want social justice ? - yes of course

good ,so ,the question is how do we achieve both

by feeding the hungry and lunch is ready

so we just let it go

no ,look I'm not gonna tell you what to think

God gave each of you a brain and reasons and conscience

why ? so that you can come to conclusions on your own

and take personal responsible for them

but...before rushing to act

before trying to change the world

first think about changing yourselves

we're building somthing vital here to get...

now ,specially now

we have to be sowers of peac and joy

and lunch mama

father...

they started killing priests

- what ? - it's on the newspaper

oh my God

- where ? - here in Mdrid

let me see

- so what do we do now father - exactly what I just said ,Juan

bless us ,O Lord

and this thy gifts that we are about to recive

for Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord.

What we have here?

- Hello, Father! - Sorry!

- I have work for living just like all you - what for living ??

that's enough ,that's enough

please

- get on the next on - Take it easy ...!

- I'm on your side. - Fascist!

They have prejudices against the enemies of their class.

- that's why I blame them - no ,I know

all part of creating of this new more civilized Spain

exactly

And how the uncivilized bihavior comes out

To make omelets, have to break eggs.

Life is not an omelet, and people are not eggs.

if I was you

I stopped to walk out there with those clothes.

it won't protect you anymore

I don't wear these for protection

you got bolls for a bourgeois

thank you father

from the palaces the bishops said :

"The meek shall inherit the earth"

But the meek were tired of waiting

they took the bishops and their palaces

he was lucky it was only a rock

Juan? Paco?

happy birthday

it's not my birthday

come on

Josemaria ,as your brother

I've been chosen to ask you to celebrate our second year together

by revoming your shoes

behold a simple shoe

- but is it what it seems ? - yes

no

it is in fact...

...a hole

A hole masquerading as a shoe.

A hole surrounded by leather ...

But also a testiment

to 20 kms a day seven days a week

rain and shine

and in pity for this innocent shoe

we have also pulled together for...

down

Santiago!

this is a statement of your government.

There has been a military up rising

The army recruits from the Moroccan colonial forces.

All able spainian who love their country ...

it's remarkably easy to join a war.

I could sneak to a communist brigade.

so far I was enjoying being a spy

There is something inspiring a common purpose,

even when it is not yours.

I can not describe the ecstasy of belonging to a crowd,

even when it's the enemy

There is no feeling like it.

well...

apart from one

cat got your tongue ,brother ?

So many young people!

What do you know about the suffering and death?

how they would told you "is it worth it ?"

they will ask again and again "is it wort it ?"

and what will fill your heart with the answer "yes" ,yes

hater of oppression ? of tyranny ?

hate of those who treat us like animals

denying our hops and stifling our lives YES !

but more

it will be faith

faith

faith ,that our new world will be born from the blood of the old

and comradeship my brothers and sisters

And courage.

courage can break our cases and set ourselves free

to live noble as the eagle hovering of it's mountain beak...

...or die in the attempt!

- name and country ? - Jean. Frace

- name and country ? - Petofi, Ildiko. Hungary, sir.

there is no sir here ,Ildiko

they're just farmers ,factory workers

some like me escaped from prison

but still fighting to be free

as we all used to be

- Ildiko Petofi? - Yes, sir.

- I'll look after them I promise

father ,come one

- Pigs! - Pigs, no Juan.

- men ,like us - men ?! Pedro

what did father Lazaro ever offered them but love ? how could they do what they did ?

cause they see us as part of the system which causes them pain and despair

we have to pray

first for father Lazaro...

and then for his murderers

but they're murderers and they took pleasure in it

what do you want to do with these "pigs" ? truthfully ,right now

what do you want do to them if you clould truthfully ,and wouldn't took pleasure in it

And yet we are no pigs

but its not the same father

no human being ,not one of us...

is free for human weakness no one

our faith is a gift

and God has called us to manifest it in love ,here on earth

an unconditional love ,for every children of God ,no matter who it is

no matter what side , no matter what circumstances

- even if they're wrong - yes ,Juan

even if they are wrong

do you understand ?

for my anger

for the anger of others.

for hate and for those who are killing

Help me to be strong!

long live the Republic!
