For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada Page #5

be generals. Hmm?

Of course, we didn't know

you would be fighting so close.

Did you know that you drove

the federales right into our camp

when we were completely unprepared?

You were completely unprepared?

And this is my fault?

I'm saying we should

be working together.

[ sniffs ]

Under whose command?

The League appointed me

commander.

Well, I don't know anything

about any League, Padre.

I'm fighting for Cristo Rey

y la Virgen de Guadalupe.

And I'm responsible

for my own men.

Together,

we would be much stronger.

We'll stay out of your way.

We're going to Autln.

Jose, women are here

with ammunition.

Bring Adriana in.

The what?

The women

with the ammunition.

Que viva Cristo Rey, Padre.

Que viva.

I also brought three nurses.

God bless you, Adriana.

God bless you,

and thank you, ladies.

You are as important

to this war as any soldier.

- Gracias, Padre.

- S, Padre.

God bless you.

Padre. Excuse me, Padre.

You think that's right to involve

the women like this?

Our Catholic sisters

are a big part of this war.

Without them bringing

ammunition, food,

taking care of the wounded,

all would be lost.

Ah.

[ chuckles ] All right.

Do you need ammo, guns?

No, no, no.

You keep the ladies'

ammunition, Padre.

We've got plenty from

the federales we've killed.

[ glassware clinking ]

TULITA:
What is the occasion?

Hmm.

- Salud.

- Salud.

An attorney for the League

representing the Cristeros

came to see me today.

They want to hire me

to command their rebellion.

You?

Yes.

Well, how ironic.

You cannot fight for something

you don't believe in.

I may have issues with the Church,

but I believe in religious freedom.

And I believe in you.

And if I'm successful,

the church bells will ring freely again,

and our girls,

they can continue their catechism.

You are really considering this?

Yes.

Tulita, I have asked them

for 3,000 pesos a month.

That's twice what

the federal generals make.

Plus 50,000 in insurance

for you and the girls.

They've agreed to everything.

I'm not gonna die.

So you have it all figured out?

And where do I and the girls fit in this?

Tulita, listen to me.

I'm dying here.

I'm a military man.

You knew that when you married me.

You a Cristero?

You are an atheist.

GOROSTIETA:
Are you awake?

Yes.

You were right.

It would be hypocritical.

I'm going to turn 'em down.

You may have nothing you believe in, but I do.

I believe in what you would be fighting for.

Maybe by doing it, you will, too.

Just come back to me, General...

to us...

to the loving man I married.

I promise.

CALLES:

The American secretary of State--

Cmo se llama el gringo ese?

Mr. Kellogg.

Kellogg...
