00:
16:41,233 -- 00:16:43,701
It was me who committed the crime.
113
00:
16:43,701 -- 00:16:46,702
I stole the rice,
but I'm not a Viet Minh.
114
00:
16:49,241 -- 00:16:52,241
Stealing rice means that
you are Viet Minh.
115
00:
16:52,644 -- 00:16:55,644
Understand, you son of a b*tch!
116
00:
16:57,583 -- 00:16:59,884
So, it was you?
117
00:
16:59,884 -- 00:17:01,652
How dare you bite the hand that feeds you?
118
00:
17:01,652 -- 00:17:04,422
I've been so blind.
119
00:
17:04,422 -- 00:17:07,423
For God's sake,
you listened to the Viet Minh.
120
00:
17:07,760 -- 00:17:10,061
You stole our rice!
121
00:
17:10,061 -- 00:17:11,029
You bastard!
122
00:
17:11,029 -- 00:17:11,963
Damn you!
123
00:
17:11,963 -- 00:17:14,964
Who did you steal for?
124
00:
17:14,964 -- 00:17:17,201
Are you mute?
125
00:
17:17,201 -- 00:17:19,037
Your crime warrants death.
126
00:
17:19,037 -- 00:17:21,606
Guard, tie him up.
127
00:
17:21,606 -- 00:17:23,341
Give him a hundred lashes, immediately!
128
00:
17:23,341 -- 00:17:24,421
Whip him!
129
00:
18:40,319 -- 00:18:42,253
Let's get those French puppets.
130
00:
18:42,253 -- 00:18:43,454
If we don't seize
our national liberation now,
131
00:
18:43,454 -- 00:18:45,456
if we don't gain our independence,
132
00:
18:45,456 -- 00:18:47,992
then we'll be enslaved forever
and never be free.
133
00:
18:47,992 -- 00:18:49,193
Let's get the Governor!
134
00:
18:49,193 -- 00:18:52,194
Let's get the Governor!
135
00:
19:21,260 -- 00:19:24,260
Sir! The Viet Minh are attacking!
136
00:
19:25,297 -- 00:19:28,297
Open the door!
137
00:
19:30,369 -- 00:19:33,369
Guards! What's all the noise about?
138
00:
19:35,974 -- 00:19:38,809
Let's get the Governor!
139
00:
19:38,809 -- 00:19:41,379
What's going on? Guards...
140
00:
19:41,379 -- 00:19:44,380
Down with the Governor!
You've taken our rice fields,
141
00:
19:44,816 -- 00:19:46,284
left us starving and miserable.
142
00:
19:46,284 -- 00:19:47,818
You've betrayed the people and ruined
143
00:
19:47,818 -- 00:19:48,986
the country for your French masters!
144
00:
19:48,986 -- 00:19:50,154
Get them out of here!
145
00:
19:50,154 -- 00:19:53,155
Let's burn them alive!
146
00:
20:02,134 -- 00:20:05,134
I beg you, misters and madames.
147
00:
20:06,471 -- 00:20:09,471
Burn them alive!
148
00:
20:10,342 -- 00:20:13,342
My husband...
149
00:
20:16,448 -- 00:20:19,448
How did this happen?
150
00:
20:20,852 -- 00:20:23,852
Burn them alive!
151
00:
20:24,790 -- 00:20:27,790
Who killed you?
152
00:
21:13,438 -- 00:21:15,072
Damn you, take it easy.
153
00:
21:15,072 -- 00:21:18,073
Are you trying to break my toes?
