the freedom of trade and therefore an end

to foreign domination in all Latin America.

But what England does not want, however...

and what I think

you yourselves do not want...

are these revolutions

carried to their extreme consequences.

Men like Jos Dolores

and Toussaint L'Ouverture...

are perhaps necessary to ignite a situation...

but then after that, they become

very dangerous as in Haiti, for example.

Yes, you certainly have got a point there.

So, gentlemen, as you can see...

I think our interests coincide,

at least for the moment...

and they also coincide with progress

and civilization.

And for those who believe in it,

it's important.

And you? Do you believe in it, Mr. Walker?

Yes, Mr. Prada, I do.

It's time.

I don't know how

I'll be able to go through with it, Sir William.

Well, it always seems that way

the first time...

but you'll see, it's actually rather simple.

It's only a moment.

Very simple moment, and then it's over.

Come on, men. Forward, follow me!

Hurry!

Go out there, show yourself. Say something.

Long live Queimada.

Long live Queimada!

Freedom!

Freedom!

Ingls!

Ingls, when did you get back?

Me? I never left.

I've been here all the time.

Here? And the boat?

Never existed.

And the gold?

Back in the bank.

Sure, and I'm still a porter.

It's all the same as before, eh?

If I had told you, Jos,

to start a revolution...

you wouldn't have understood me.

To rob a bank, yes, that was possible.

First, you learned to kill

in order to defend yourself.

And later you had to kill to defend others.

And the rest came by itself.

And you?

What do you get?

Nothing.

Salary from the British Admiralty.

A rather modest one.

And England, what is her part in this?

Portugal is England's enemy...

and if the English ships

were not in the port of Queimada...

the Portuguese

would already have returned.

And how many English ships are there?

Don't be too ambitious, Jos.

No, I just asked.

Ramn, Pedro, Andrs,

that's enough now. You dance in town.

It might be better if you camped here, Jos.

It would be better.

But they have fought and suffered,

and they have won, Ingls.

They have a right to go to the city.

Well, they'll have plenty of time for that,

all the time in the world.

Gentlemen, I would like to present

General Jos Dolores.

Mr. Prada.

Augusto Anguilar.

Fernando Gabriella.

Allow me to present Gen. Dolores,

Mr. Teddy Sanchez.

He directed the rebellion here in the capital.

It was he who killed the governor...

and he is now the president

of the new provisional government...

whose first act it was, to abolish slavery.

General, you have our admiration.

Your help has been invaluable. Thank you.
