I want no part of it. 我不想加入其中
If we fail, Captain, then you can pull the gun to Santander by yourself. 如果我们失败了，上校，那么你就可以自己把大炮拉回桑坦德
The Duke of Wellington. 惠灵顿的公爵
Captain, there are some things you cannot change. 上校，有些事情你无法改变
- And Miguel is one of them. - That's unfortunate for all of us. - 米凯尔是其中之一 - 我们很不幸
- You are taking no part in this, are you? - I have no desire to commit suicide.
Listen to me. I know Miguel is difficult. He's stubborn...
That's an understatement, if I've ever heard one.
Nobody knows him better than I.
But you, you act as if you were on the deck of a ship.
Miguel has never seen one. He is fighting the only way he knows, as a guerrillero.
- You think he's right, don't you? - All of us do.
But even if he's wrong, we will go with him.
I hope you will too.
Why?
Captain, I have an idea you'd like to act more like a man
than a cold piece of English mutton.
We are ready. You stay here with Maria and him.
I'll need five men.
- For what? - To get their powder.
Get him the men.
Guerrilleros! Guerrilleros!
Get these powder kegs away from here. Come on! Come on! Quickly! Quickly!
Quickly.
Out! Out!
It's going! Jump! Jump!
Je ne fais pas partie de I'閠at-major. Je n'ai aucune information.
He's a field officer, not a staff man. He doesn't know.
Tell him to search his memory, quickly.
Essayez de vous souvenir, vite.
Je n'ai rien ?dire. Je suis pr阾.
(gunshot)
Dites-leur ce qu'ils veulent savoir. Vous pouvez sauver votre vie.
- What did you say? - I'm trying to stop you murdering him.
I told him to talk. Allez, parlez.
Je vous jure qu'il n'y a aucune formation entre ici et 羦ila.
J'ai une famille, et je ne veux pas mourir.
He swears there's nothing between here and 羦ila. He doesn't want to die.
They were lying.
I'm surprised you bother to wash your hands. That kind of blood won't come off.
- So? - I refuse to watch cold-blooded murder.
Then do not watch. Stay out of the way. You interfere too much.
- If not for that cannon, I... - You would do what?
- I'd leave and let you fire it yourself. - Then leave. We do not need you.
- You know I have my orders. - This is my order.
Leave, Captain, or the next cold-blooded murder will be yours.
You're insane.
There's a British ship in the harbour at Las Cruces. Get on it. Go!
All right, I'll go tonight.
Go now, Captain.
I hope you're satisfied.
The British won't get the gun, he can't fire it, so that's the end of your 羦ila.
- He's still going there. - Then he's a fool.
And I am going with him. You can't understand that, can you?
It's none of my affair now.
You won't understand this either, Captain.
My father and brother were sentenced by General Jouvet to be hung.
The general admired me.
I went to him.
He hung them anyway.
In the hills with the others, I had one prayer - to die.
I had no hope, no purpose.
Until a man who was the son of the shoemaker came.
He gave us a reason to live, to fight. That was Miguel.
Well, then, I'd say you've been grateful long enough.
- I am staying with him. - You mean you're living with him.
But you don't love him. That's the part of you that's cheap.
The British captain and the guerrillero's woman - not a very good match.
I'll take my chances.
Enough to fire the cannon?
He said he'd do that himself.
Miguel doesn't always mean what he says.
I won't apologise to him.
You won't have to.
I have already done that for you.
How much French cardboard can a man eat?
Three days, this and water.
To pull this gun, a man needs food.
- You are not a man yet. - (laughter)
He follows you anywhere, and you make fun of him.
Jos? they are only teasing you.
I can do as much as any of them. You know it.
More.
You are young and brave and strong and handsome.
All any woman could desire. And, besides, you're intelligent. And...
All right, Juana.
That's enough. I give up.
(shouting)
Excelencia. Excelencia, please! Excelencia! Excelencia, please!
There are children in the village. Give us back our food. We will starve.
At least the bread. Leave us something.
Miguel. And cognac!
- What is the matter? - I doubt if you'd listen.
What is it?
- We need the food, don't we? - We need the peasants more.
- What do you know about peasants? - Obviously I know very little.
But I know you expect thousands of them to meet you at 羦ila.
Let me worry about the peasants. I'm tired of you and your ideas.
Every village we come to will hide their food.
And when we need help with the gun, they'll disappear.
All right. You are in command. I give you permission. You handle the peasants.
Go get the money and pay them. In pounds sterling.
He's wrong. You'd better tell him so.
I know peasants. I live with peasants. I do not need anybody to tell me about them.
- Of course not. - You think he is right?
- I think perhaps... - You think too much for a woman.
I think you are right, Miguel.
Miguel. Tell him you are sorry for what you said.
Jos?
Wipe your nose.
An entire encampment wiped out.
Pretty picture - the invincible French army running with our nightgowns on fire.
And still they elude us.
We are strangers in their house, General. They know where to fight, when to hide.
They're hiding now someplace.
They will move again, and I think I know where.
- They have help. - Ah, peasants.
Not only peasants. There's a British naval officer with them.
And a British man-of-war in the harbour of Las Cruces. Here.
Very well.
I want every road and trail into Las Cruces blocked, day and night patrols.
We will see if you are right.
Carlos! Carlos!
The wagons!
Where are the wagons?
- Well, where are the wagons? - Well, I don't know.
I don't know what happened to them.
They're in the village. I sent them back.
You sent them back?
Miguel.
- Carlos will kill him. - I will only let him kill him a little.
Carlos, enough.
It isn't too bad. In a few days...
In a few days I can remember I killed that man with a knife.
- Miguel didn't mean it to go that far. - Of course not.
It was simply an entertainment.
I'm sorry. Really.
Don't be. Don't imagine this has anything to do with those wagons.
He's jealous, and he has reason to be.
I told you I would go to 羦ila to fire the gun,
and, no matter what he does, I'm going.
But not for him. And not for orders.
He knows the reason, and so do you.
We saw infantry, Miguel, on the other side of the river.
This is open country. We mustn't be caught here.
We won't be. The Cano is too much to cross.
- There is a bridge. - There is no bridge. I know the Cano.
The French have made one, on boats.
- How many boats are there? - 15, 16.
I'll need at least 500lbs of powder.
You'll need...?
All right. Unload the powder wagons.
Anthony.
Take Jos? He worked in the mines. He knows powder.
Take him. I will tell Miguel.
How old are you?
They think I am 20.
I'm really 18.
Are you afraid?
No.
I am.
Do you know why Juana sent me with you?
- To help. - Sure.
Also, she likes you.
I was lying.
I am afraid.
But don't worry. I can do it.
I think it's time to get our feet wet.
(splash)
(horse whinnies)
Arr阾ez!
I was looking for you. I wanted to tell you I'm sorry about Jos?
You couldn't help it.
Juana.
For all my life I've been afraid. Nothing ever lasts.
I'm afraid that tonight is just a dream and it won't last.
It will. I promise you.
Some other time, some other place, you might not even look at me.
All right. Do you want to hear me say it? I...
No.
I mean it might be different in England.
In England I'd keep you locked up in an ivory tower, guarded by trusted servants,
and I'd have the only key. A gold one.
You can't afford that on a captain's pay.
I'll be an admiral by then. We'll have our own carriage.
And when the king commands, we'll go to the grand ball.
I will need a very special dress.
Yes. And a blue cape to match my uniform.
I'll have to be careful when I bow. The trousers are very tight. They can split.
It happened once.
Anthony?
Yes?
- Who were you with? - When?
When your trousers split.
As I was saying, the king will want to meet you, of course.
And you can tell him how once, long ago in Spain, you met an English captain
and made him the proudest man in the world.
I love you, Anthony.
Juana.
Yes?
All of us here are Spanish,
and we know what we want and what we will have to pay to go to 羦ila.
I understand that, Miguel.
But you want more. You are thinking of after 羦ila.
Yes.
That part, I do not know.
But we have been together a long time, Juana.
You have lived with me, and I cannot even read or write my own name.
And when I cannot say the words I want to say, you have said them for me,
and I have felt equal to any man.
But, inside... inside myself, I know I am less.
Did you think I cannot feel in my heart that a woman wants more?
I can only repay you with what we started out for - 羦ila.
If this is not enough, tell me, then.
The attempt of this staff to locate a handful of rabble
will go down in military history as a monument to ineptitude.
Your ambitions and careers dissolve in these cannon tracks across Spain.
It has now cost us a bridge and a full company of men
to find out exactly where that cannon is. Here.
Huh?
A long way from Las Cruces and the sea, Colonel.
Yes, sir.
They're in these mountains. There is a pass. Here.
They will come through it. I intend them to.
I don't think they will come out this time.
Well?
There are French cannon up there. Everybody knows that.
- And I know it too. - How can you think of going through?
- Do you know another way? - We said we'd help, not kill ourselves.
They'll catch you in a crossfire.
They may not hear us. We'll muffle the wheels and hooves.
You guarantee every Frenchman is stone deaf?
If we get halfway through before they hear us we'll have a chance.
Do you think being a mule is all that's expected of you?
We left our shops and our farms.
If they opened your veins, do you know what would come out? Not blood.
You see, we have to go south to get to 羦ila.
To go south, we have to go through here. You do understand?
Yes, Captain, we understand it perfectly.
We may be a little ashamed of it,
but we all have wives and children, and we are not ready to die for this gun.
- But we must have your help. - Ah, we go without them!
His astonishing charm has won the day again.
- Do you want me to get on my knees? - If it would do any good, yes!
- But we need them, Miguel. - Not that much.
50 Greeks once held a pass like this against 1,000 men.
- We're about to try it the other way round. - Captain.
I do not know history.
But I do know this -
that I will stand before the statue of Santa Teresa in 羦ila.
(slams)
(donkey brays)
(distant cannon fire)
Cease fire!
They are out of range, but every road is blocked.
Ready!
They are not at either end, and the pass is empty.
Hold your position until further orders.
Log! Log!
Pull! Pull!
You said you knew these hills. We can't go down there.
- We came up, we can go down. - It'll pick up too much momentum.
There's a ratio between velocity and mass.
If it weighs five tons coming up slowly, going down fast it can weigh 10-15.
We wouldn't be able to hold it.
Up or down, it weighs what it weighs.
Turn the mules.
Keep turning! Move, quick!
Bring up the log! The log!
Captain.
Log! Log!
Get out! Get out!
Cut the mules loose!
Jump!
(bleats)
The barrel's broken off the pivot.
We cannot go up, we must go down.
Brilliant.
Um...
It was heavier coming down.
There's a village near here called Maneciras.
Man-e-ciras.
I suggest we go into Maneciras and find a place to repair the gun.
We need tools, a forge, a place where the French can't find us.
Miguel, if there are any French there, he cannot wear that uniform.
No.
Who do you suggest this time?
Take your pick.
You, unfortunately.
Spanish fleas, Captain. They wouldn't dare bite an Englishman.
(bugles)
- (man) You have our permission for that. - (Miguel) There is something else.
- Yes? - The gun.
My son, the power of the Holy Office is great,
but we cannot turn a cannon into a penitent for you.
If we could hide it, Your Grace, and bring it into the cathedral and take it apart...
- Inside of the cathedral? - Just for a night.
This is Holy Week. You can't defile a sanctuary.
Soldiers and guns belong out there.
This is the house of God, not an arsenal.
You ask too much.
Your Grace!
You cannot refuse them.
"Cannot"?
It's useless wrapping yourself in authority and quoting rules to these people.
It's not enough to say that a gun doesn't belong inside their cathedral.
This isn't merely a gun. It's the only symbol of resistance left in Spain.
Do you know how many of them have given their lives just to drag it this far?
You should have looked back and seen a mountain pass covered with dead as I did.
For what?
If you don't know the reason, you're Spanish, you're a man of the church,
you can feel it.
You mustn't refuse them.
Very well.
The Holy Week procession starts tonight.
Bring your cannon in then.
Holy Mother, thank you for answering my prayer.
He understands now.
And I love him even more.
I know I've sinned in your eyes.
Only, for the first time since I was a little girl, I dared to dream.
But there is Miguel.
There is his dream - 羦ila.
And I am a part of that forever.
It's too much to ask that you grant my wishes for both.
Only listen,
and find it in your heart to forgive me when I choose.
This is for Miguel and 羦ila.
And this is for the love I have found with another.
Inside the cathedral?
Yes. The cannon is there, sir.
- You're either mad or drunk. - Both.
I swear I saw it.
All right. We'll have a look.
So... our visitor has finally arrived.
It is larger than I thought.
Indeed it is.
Do you think it can breach the wall?
Yes.
If it doesn't blow up in their faces. How many would you say are out there?
Around 10,000. And more coming.
Too big a risk for cavalry.
(sighs)
Everything's a little too big today.
How these Spaniards love their moment of truth,
this compulsion to die, to drench the ground with their blood.
Why?
Probably because it is their ground, General.
All right.
Do you want me to tell you how it will be done?
Do you want a miracle?
There are no miracles. Only the gun.
You tell them the truth, eh?
In the morning, the gun will be fired at the wall from a range of 1600yds.
The cannonballs weigh 96lbs each.
At impact they will be travelling fast enough to weigh 9,000lbs.
I think they can make a breach in the wall.
What about the French guns?
You will all be out of range until you get within 1,000yds.
Then it will begin.
I've counted 80 cannon on the walls.
When you get within 1,000yds, they will fire grenades.
These will explode in the air and the cannonballs inside of them will reach you.
At 500yds, it will be grapeshot - pieces of metal and chain.
And when you're closer, massed infantry fire.
By the time you've reached the wall, your losses will be at least 50 per cent.
Do you understand?
We understand, Miguel.
These people have died before.
Good night.
What I told them, what it will be, is true.
Yes.
Juana, I want you to stay with me at the cannon.
- But all the others will not be able to. - I know.
But if you love me, you'll promise.
I love you, Anthony.
Then promise.
I promise.
I think you should tell Miguel.
I will not have to.
He will know.
It's... it's so quiet now.
Yes.
All those people back there, waiting.
Thank you for helping them, Anthony.
Was that your reason for coming?
I'm so afraid.
I am afraid for them and for us.
The walls are so far.
There's nothing for us to be afraid of.
That is what is tearing at me.
They are the same as we are.
They want to live and be loved too, and yet tomorrow they will risk it all.
You can't change that.
Anthony... I cannot keep my promise.
- You're not going with them. - Yes.
- You can't do this. I won't let you. - Anthony...
I've prayed I could stay with you. I want to stay with you.
You must! You don't have to go with them.
One girl among 10,000, what difference can it make? Why?
Because everything you mean to me, and it is so much, is not enough.
I'm Spanish.
I'm part of 羦ila.
You're part of me too.
For all my life.
But God help me, my darling, I'm going with Miguel.
Juana.
Hold me, Anthony.
Tell me you know I cannot help myself.
Tell me you love me.
I did not think that you would come back.
I am here, Miguel.
It's a...
It's a sad thing that I could never put into words what you mean to me.
Forgive me.
(cheering)
The guns are firing too slow. Hurry them up.
Fall back. Mass your rifles in the square.
Fall back!
General!
- I said mass your rifles in the square. - But, General...
Quickly!
Juana.
I'm sorry, Anthony.
I asked for too much.
You didn't.
I wanted to see Miguel in 羦ila.
And to... to love you.
