General Luna Page #5

---

Bastard.

I'm thirsty.

Am I not enough

to satisfy your thirst?

My god. What happened?

Work.

Were you shot?

Why is it that after making love,

you start acting like my mother?

You got shot, didn't you?

Just a scratch.

You liar. This is not a scratch.

Now you sound like a nagging wife.

Antonio,

Your married to war.

I'm just a mistress.

Hey, it's cold.

Go to hell.

I'm in hell everyday

when I'm not with you.

Lying again.

You think

I enjoy fighting?

Yes, because you are a sadist.

War is not my wife,

it is the cross I bear.

Is this really our last night together?

Isabel.

We can't keep seeing each

other again like this,

correct?

Correct.

We Do not have time for things

we cannot sustain.

Our duties in this war

are more important

than our feelings for each other.

The next time we meet,

you are a soldier

and I...

a woman of the Red Cross.

Isabel.

General.

Mister President.

Mister President, the Schurman

Commission wants to meet with us

to discuss some terms.

Terms?

There are no terms!

What do you mean, no terms?

Wait.

Quiet! Let him speak!

They are offering some kind

of autonomy for the Republic.

To be a protectorate...

under America.

That would bet reason!

Treason!

According to our constitution,

sovereignty rests only

with the Filipino People.

You are a traitor

for proposing annexation.

I am not proposing it.

I am merely reporting it.

How can you trust him?

He worked for the Spanish government.

With people like these,

we don't need enemies.

America...

is the strongest nation in the world.

Think of the advantages

for trade and economy.

How long are we going to keep fighting?

Our casualties are mounting.

We are short on money,

arms and ammunition.

But not inspirit.

My men are committed.

Even Sr. Jose Rizal...

How can this Assembly consider

something this treasonous?

Are you calling me a traitor?

And a coward.

I remember I saw your son in battle.

He deserted his post while

his comrade slay dying.

There are no cowards in my family.

My son never joined you in battle

so you have no right to insult

my family, Antonio.

Was I insulting you?

I was merely stating the fact

that cowardice and treason

are in your blood.

You really are like your brother.

If Juan had been tried

in this country

for the murder of his wife,

he would've been hanged.

You are true to your name:

Luna...

Lunatic!

Enough!

Calm down.

Calm down!

That's enough!

By the authority granted to me

by the Philippine Republic,

I order the arrest of this traitor.

And you too.

Why me?

It is within his rights.

Captain, Major,

arrest Buencamino.

Colonel, Roman.

Assist me.

Lam not a traitor!

This is unconstitutional!
