When they touch one miner, they touch us all!

Yes!

Nobody's going down!

What's going on?

- We can't work, sir. - What's the matter?

Company thugs tried to kill Lantier, a miner from Voreux.

I didn't know that, and it's deplorable,

but I have nothing to do with the company.

Aren't they good here?

We are in solidarity.

- Are we in solidarity or not?! - Yes!

We can't work while our comrades are being trampled on.

Yes, I understand.

In Voreux they have women, brothers, it's important.

But I am independent!

Do you know how much I've invested in this mine?!

If you stop working, I'm going straight to ruin, and so are you!

And you will no longer be miners in solidarity,

they will be unemployed in solidarity, starving!

You and me.

We will not move.

- We will not move! - We will not!

Going once and going twice!

That's it!

More, more!

The strike is over!

There's an agreement: today you work! Take all that away!

- You will die! - You will die!

Careful, big guy, you don't know who you're messing with.

From Etienne!

I'm gonna get you!

Careful with your toy, you might hurt someone.

So we murder our own?

They are signing their death warrant.

Death?

Death is not what it used to be.

What's the matter?

You're not happy to see me, are you?

We have a message for your bosses:

- there is a general strike. - General strike, yes.

Nothing will stop us now.

- Let him go, Bouteloup. - How?

Will you let him go with what he did to you?

And the money in the box? Now you'll see.

- Yes. - No!

We are not like them.

Let him go.

- Get out! - You son of a bitch!

- Get out of here! - Get out of here!

Etienne!

- I need to sit down. - I need to sit down.

Virgin Mary,

pray for us.

Jesus, the Messiah,

your son God.

When your wrath

our faults he punishes...

It is urgent.

Excuse me, father. We'll continue later.

There's a strike again.

And this time it's a general strike.

The wells are stopped, even Jean Bart.

Lantier is back.

I will send a telegram to Lille

and call the army.

It won't do anything.

I beg your pardon?

He doesn't work for Jean Bart, as far as I know.

I don't think he understands the situation.

If the strike spreads like an oil slick,

it will reach all the towns in the region.

This is already beyond us.

I don't want to know what he did to end the strike,

but it has failed. It should instill a little humility in him.

We'll settle the score,

we must avoid contagion and restart the work.

On the contrary.

Jean Bart on strike, that's the only good news in this story.

Deneulin does not have the means to hold it.

- You want to force Deneulin to sell? - That's it.

We let the strike settle on Jean Bart.

and then we negotiate.

Obviously, I have underestimated it.

He's not the only one.

And now keep your eyes open and let me know when anything moves.

I think that...

act for the good of the company, but isn't it too much?

It will end badly.

Not if everyone takes his place.

Your aunt and Cecile are going into town, you should go with them.

- But I'll be more useful here. - No.

You'll be doing laps here.

I need calm.

Very good.

I don't know how you make the broth taste so good with nothing.

It's really good.

Did you hear that?

At least acknowledge my merits.

It's the fever, he's delirious.

Do you have the courage to come?

Please. I wanted to see how you were doing. I wanted to see how you were doing.

Come on in.

Here, I'll take it.

Thank you.

Sit down.

How are you, comrade?

You scared us, you know?

What scared you is that I would have gone with the box.

I'm not proud, Etienne.

I apologize.

Good.

It's a thing of the past. We're on the same side.

I've been thinking.

We should report what Bressan did to you.

If I go to the gendarmes, they will accuse me of disturbing the peace.

and they will lock me up.

When did Jean Bart stop?

No.

- It's the last thing to do. - It's your turn to wake up.

There's a general strike, comrade.

The chimneys are out.

And this time Hennebeau will give in.

A general strike?

- You know they won't allow it. - There is a right to strike.

Yes, but on paper. They will call in the army on any pretext.

Let's cut the telegraph.

Yes, that's a good idea.

It may work.

Can run.

Enter.

- You called me? - Yes, Antoine. Sit down.

Are you going to buy me off with a drink?

I saw you among the strikers.

You tend to have your feet on the ground, don't you?

It's not against you.

It's not against me?

You do it against yourself.

What is this?

It was...

an ascent.

Your promotion

to the position of foreman.

Do you see it?

Your name.

The undersigned, Victor Deneulin, owner and operator,

appoints Antoine Chaval to the position of foreman.

I just had to sign.

What do I do now? Throw it in the fire?

I don't know what to say to her.

Look, Antoine, when you're single,

cologne is the best.

But I saw you with young Maheu, and she's serious.

Soon there will be a wedding. And then, children. She won't be able to work for a while.

And a salary, with three or four mouths to feed.

Better to be a foreman than to be unemployed, right?

- I can't decide for others. - Talk to them, they will listen to you.

You have authority over them. I want you as foreman.

I'll raise five cents a wagon. Five cents! They won't turn it down.

Paul, what a surprise to have you join us.

Yes, I'll be your chaperon, in a way.

I didn't make you a lover

of lace

and fruit.

There are many things you don't know about me.

That's good to know.

Henri, faster! Come on!

- What did he want? - To get back to work. I accepted.

Are you kidding?

I got a raise for everybody:

five cents more in two months.

And he promoted me to foreman.

No. Are you crazy?

What's that? An opportunity like this is not to be missed.

And did you think about those from Voreux?

What will I tell my parents?

- They're counting on us to break them. - I don't care about the Voreux!

They'd kill for what I got!

- You're hurting me! - I'm doing it for us!

For you!

Don't leave me now.

Don't leave me.

Guys,

gather round!

There's smoke!

There's smoke at Jean Bart's!

They'll be damned.

- Oh, shit! - It can't be.

They just don't care.

Comrades, let's go!

No.

No way, you won't see the dress before the ceremony.

Come on, you won't stand outside like a soul in pain.

It's all right, I'll take a walk.

I'll be back in an hour?

Perfect.

That'll be two, more like.

Back to work at Jean Bart's!

They haven't kept their word!

Are you sure?

Yes, the picket men went out to beat them up.

It's going to get ugly.

What are you doing? You're barely standing.

Etienne, what are you doing?

- I'm coming. - We'll go with you.

Here you go.

Are you all right? Are you all right?

Go home!

Comrades! Comrades! Leave it!

Let him go! Let him go!

Comrades, stop!

Drop it! Drop it! Comrades, stop!

- Stop! - Comrades!

Calm down! Comrades! Bouteloup!

- Let him go! Let him go! - What?! You're traitorous pigs!

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

Let him go! Let him go! Etienne! Deneulin! He's coming!

Out of the way. Out of the way!

Are you Lantier?

Let him go.

Are you proud?

Your henchmen sabotaged the ventilation and the elevator.

They won't let me set the alarm!

- What did you do, Levaque? - They're traitors!

There will be deaths, they will be yours.

- And Catherine is downstairs? - All of them!

Levaque, follow me! Out of the way!

The alarm! The alarm! The alarm! The alarm must be triggered!

Are you crazy? The alarm must be triggered!

Chaval has betrayed us! He deserves to die!

- My daughter is trapped! She will die! - She chose her side!

Souvarine! We must warn them! We're not assassins!

- Go ahead, Maheu! - No!

Catherine! Catherine!

She'll be fine. It'll be fine. Breathe.

Breathe.

Come on, let's go.

Catherine, get up. Come on, let's go. Get up. Come on!

They've cut the elevator cables!

There's no ventilation! The ladder! Hurry up, the ladder!

Antoine!

Catherine!

Antoine!

I won't let go of you anymore!

Out of the way!

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

We have to climb! We have to climb! Can you hear me?

Catherine! Come!

I can't, Antoine! I can't feel my hand!

You have to be able to, there's no choice! Get out of the way! Climb!

- Look ahead and don't stop! - Come on, Catherine!

You have to gird your loins.

See, that's better, isn't it?

It doesn't suit me, I look like a barrel.

You exaggerate!

A little less candy until the wedding and you'll be fine.

I was talking about the dress.

I'm sorry.

Pardon me.

These corsets are from another era.

Wow, Paul didn't pick you for your diplomacy.

And who says he chose me?

Move on!

Keep going! Climb. Climb!

Climb!

Go!

Quickly!

Catherine, keep going. We're here, let's go.

Come on! Keep going!

Don't look down. Don't look down! Climb!

Keep going, don't stop!

Don't stop!

Catherine! Move forward!

Catherine!

Let's get the harnesses ready with the ropes!

You can't go down, it's dangerous. We don't help traitors.

I don't care about your revolution, I'm going for my daughter.

Let him go, Maheu.

Dad!

Here you go.

- I'll come down. - No! You stay here.

More! More ropes!

Take it.

Is there more?

Rose?

- Sir, sir? - Come in, come in, come in.

Are you coming from the village?

Yes, sir. For the puff pastry, the pastry chef will pass...

Everything was normal?

I mean, you saw nothing, nothing particular?

No. Everything was normal. Why?

No reason, my dear, no reason.

Hippolyte, have you seen Bressan?

No. He's in town, I think.

What are you hiding?

I beg your pardon?

Yes, I must go and put them away.

The lady surely.

Since when?

I don't understand.

Since when did my wife and nephew...?

Pack up your things, I don't want to see you anymore.

- But sir - Get out of here!

You're fired.

You can fire us all, it won't change anything.

Everybody knows it.

Traitor!

We bring the traitors!

Maheu!

Let her go, let her go! Let her go!

Come on. Catherine. Catherine. Water!

Water! Water!

For him there is a more effective method.

See what we do to traitors!

- Stay here! Stay here! Stay here! - Let go of me! Let go of me!

Stop!

Stop, let him go! Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!

Etienne, Etienne, I beg you, do something!

I beg you, Etienne! Etienne! You saved my life.

I beg you.

Let him go!

Let him go!

That's enough! He got what he deserved!

He fooled us!

We are miners. We do what is right.

As for you, traitor,

if you go back to Montsou,

I won't be able to do anything for you anymore.

Thank you.

Gather everyone together.

The telegraph line is cut with Montsou.

Cut?

I just came from the post office, they think a pole has fallen.

- What are you worried about? - I saw some miners with an ax.

Let's go back.

- But... - Now!

Thank you.

Jean Bart's Miners.

In one day they have achieved

more than we did in a month of fighting.

But if Deneulin gave them that raise...

it is precisely thanks to the general strike.

It is because the other wells in the region are closed.

and coal prices are going to go up.

The five cents they have gained

are not due to Deneulin,

but to the miners in struggle.

To their children,

his brothers,

their mothers.

- We didn't know that! - Who is speaking?

We didn't know that.

They tell us not to go down and we don't go down.

They tell us to go down and we go down. We are miners, not schoolteachers.

It's true, they didn't know that,

but now they know it.

What one miner gains on one side another miner loses on the other.

The only solution for the bosses to respect us

is the union of the miners.

Now that they know,

they can decide:

or they are with us

or they are with the bosses.

There is no middle ground.

Those who want to join the fight

raise your hand.

- What a nice socialist democracy. - I just saved their lives.

Comrades!

Spread the word to the colonies in the region!

Let them join us in Montsou!

We'll see if Hennebeau won't listen to us now!

All to Montsou! All to Montsou! All to Montsou! All to Montsou! All to Montsou!

What are you looking at?!

Look out! Get back!

Oh, God.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry, but you have to come down.

What's going on? What does this mean?

General strike, that's what's going on! We shut everything down!

What are you doing? Stop! I'm not going alone, there are ladies on board.

unless you want to play the horse.

I know them, they won't hurt us.

- Come on, let's go! - Let's go down.

- Let's go, let's go! - Let's go!

- Let go of him. - My bag! Let go of my bag!

But what's in here?

It's beautiful.

Whose is it?

Answer! Whose is it? It's mine.

It's very well done, isn't it?

How much does it cost?

20 francs?

It doesn't reach 50, does it?

I'm getting married. I don't shop every day.

La Mouquette,

we know each other, don't we?

I think we even like each other.

He didn't stand up for us when his bullies were beating the crap out of us!

When I look at them,

like this,

so well dressed,

so very clean!

It disgusts me. While we

In fact, it doesn't change anything for you.

Die below or die above!

As long as they can go on with their lives as if nothing happened!

- Listen - No! I don't listen anymore!

You know what I ate this morning while you were out shopping?

A leather belt!

Please.

Let the ladies go!

Did you hear that, Dad? A real gentleman!

Don't worry, we'll just share a meal, like good comrades.

The mouth.

- Open your mouth! - Open it!

Open your mouth!

Now chew.

Chew!

- Now the ladies. - Mastica!

- Let her. - Let her chew!

- Let it go. - I don't see you chewing!

Open your mouth! That's it!

Chew!

Mastica!

Chew!

- The countess's mouth! - That's it!

Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew.

Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew.

Let's go home.

Antoine, we can't go.

If they see you in Montsou, they'll lynch you.

I said home.

Antoine.

Antoine, Etienne wasn't kidding.

Etienne? Now it turns out that you obey his orders?

What's that?

Are you kidding me?

I've been following you forever,

even though I knew it would end badly.

But not that, it's too dangerous.

When I say we're going, we're going!

Is that clear?!

Up!

Is that clear?!

Come on, let's go!

Let's go!

What did I do wrong?

I beg your pardon?

You tell me.

Didn't I do everything

so that God would grant me a little of his help,

of his help,

at least once?

Of course.

And why is that?

Why is that?

Every day I have prayed,

I have turned the other cheek, I have trusted in him.

And look what a reward.

You must not give in to anger.

If God submits you to this test

is that he trusts you.

We do nothing fruitful in this world

if we refuse to carry our cross.

Overcome.

To be a Christian is to find in oneself the strength to persevere.

Is Hennebeau here?

I can't let him in.

- He's under my protection. - Joire, send him in.

- I've been looking for you. - Well, you found me.

- Sit down. - But don't you see?

The miners are coming here, from all over the region.

We can't control it. We have to call the army and get to safety.

Only an idiot leaves the game before taking his winnings.

What?

This is all a game. Business.

They don't come here to break everything, they come here to negotiate.

Your currency

is fear.

Ours

is the money.

It's absurd. Hennebeau, it's not in its normal state.

On the contrary.

I have never felt so lucid.

Be calm

and you'll see.

Everything will be all right.

Prepare the rifles!

We stand guard.

Go to Marchiennes for the gendarmes. Have them come at once.

To Maigrat's tent!

Comrades! Comrades, wait! We can't do it. Wait!

Not now! Comrades!

It's Maigrat's store! What difference does it make?

With what he did? He abused women!

He raised prices when we were starving!

We can't afford looting!

As soon as there's violence we'll pay for it in spades!

Savages! That's how they'll describe us in the newspapers!

They're hungry, you can't ask them that.

Let's hope that cockroach had the good idea to run away.

Etienne!

Go on, tell him what you said.

Hennebeau, I've seen him. He's not at home. He's at the church.

Hennebeau is in the church!

To the church!

Maheu, help me.

Help me up.

Listen up, folks! Quiet!

Listen to Etienne!

Comrades!

Comrades!

We are here to demand justice from the company!

And I said justice, not revenge.

Let us not taint our movement with acts of violence.

Let us continue to be dignified and organized.

I'm going to enter this church

and at last we are going to get justice for all.

Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice!

Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice! Justice!

- You can't stay with that scum. - Forget Bressan!

Nothing will happen to me in church.

Our biggest problem is the mass. It can't get out of control.

It is crucial.

Do you understand?

I'm coming with you.

Well, I'm counting on you.

Lantier!

You guys are right.

I'll talk to him.

He will listen to me.

They can't get out of here without an agreement.

- Thank you. - I'm not doing it for you.

I went to the Crimean campaign,

I know what a hungry people can do.

- What? I have to tell my parents. - I have to warn my parents.

Your parents have nothing to fear. They're after my husband.

- They've come for us. - Explain to him that they have nothing to fear.

I do not obey your orders! I know what I saw and I will go and warn them.

Have you gone crazy?

Bressan and his men are in Montsou.

- There's more security! Think about it! - He worries about his parents.

And I worry about my husband.

Your uncle.

But...

she will be my wife.

Very good.

Then I'll go alone.

- Philippe. - Victor, are you all right?

- Did they treat you badly? - I'm fine.

On the other hand, the mine...

Let's not talk about it.

We'll see that later.

He still has his sense of hospitality.

Do you tolerate this in your church?

Gentlemen, this is a peaceful negotiation, not a hostage taking.

Although the line is very fine.

Philippe, there are things to negotiate.

Nobody wants a bloodbath, Lantier first. I'll vouch for him.

- He tore up your mine. - No, he didn't.

In fact, without his intervention, my men would have died.

Do you remember what you told me when I came to you for help?

Well, you were right.

This is all just a game.

Madame Hennebeau!

What the hell, the bitch!

Get the hell out of here!

Shit! Go home, bitch!

Get out of the way!

- What are you doing here? - I'm going home!

I must be with my husband.

We'll take you to see him, he's in church.

- In the church? - Yes, she's in the church.

Monsieur Hennebeau, it's time to negotiate.

That's not for you to decide.

- He will not shirk his responsibilities. - Philippe!

God, I've been so scared.

Where is Paul?

And she left you alone?

She was terrified. We were attacked by pigs...

I don't want to know.

You're dirty.

You stink.

Gentlemen!

Let's go.

Coffee! Coffee!

Sugar!

Yes, a cabbage!

Cookies, cookies!

As a consequence of the brutal methods

and illegal methods of the company,

the miners of Montsou have declared a general and unlimited strike.

Not a single piece of coal will be extracted.

until the bosses agree to our demands:

we want

a wage increase of five cents per trolley car

and the withdrawal of the measure related to underpinning.

Maigrat is here! He's here!

He's in the warehouse!

The pig! You're here!

They'll have nothing.

What?

Thanks to your action, the company will buy Jean Bart at a low price.

and everything will be back to order.

Your threats are useless.

- It is madness. - Monsieur Hennebeau,

I think you are not calibrating the situation properly.

I've got hundreds of angry miners out there.

No time left for their power games!

What's your answer?

What is the answer?

You filthy pig!

This fucker was hiding in the warehouse!

What's wrong with you today, pig?

Don't you feel like playing?

- For the women you have raped. - I beg you!

Here, you scum!

And for my niece, whom you got pregnant!

Now she's playing a whore in Lille, poor thing!

- Mercy. - Mercy?

Mercy.

Mercy.

Mercy? Mercy?

Death

to the rapist!

Down with the abuser!

Things are getting ugly.

Five cents per wagon.

Be reasonable, nobody wants a butcher shop.

If I go out

and I tell my men he won't accept it,

I will no longer be able to protect him.

The exit is there, Lantier.

Can't you hear them?!

Your wife!

You! You're all going to die!

Etienne,

let it go,

he won't change his mind.

Do you have a gun for me?

Wait! It's Etienne! It's Etienne!

Get back! Get back!

Break it up! Give us some room!

- You all right? - We're good.

Good,

what did he say?

- Tell us, Etienne! - Count it!

They won't budge.

That's what he said.

They treat us like garbage!

Death to the bosses! Death to the bosses!

By the way,

you left this in Paul's bed.

Here they are.
