Battle in Seattle Page #2

Synopsis: In late November 1999, masses are descending upon Seattle for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Conference, the first ever held on American soil. Beyond the several delegates, career protesters are also coming to Seattle, they who believe the non-elected organization only exists to support corporate interests at the expense of the poor, working class and the environment among other things. Before the conference, the lead known protesters vow that their demonstrations will be peaceful, while Seattle Mayor Jim Tobin promises that if that be the case that no arrests will be made and no aggressive action, such as the use of tear gas, will be issued. On day one of the conference, tensions on both sides escalate the confrontation between police and protesters, with many innocent people caught in the crossfire. As such, what was promised ends up not happening during the remainder of the conference, where many on both sides work not for the greater good of their side, but rather for their own

Of course, nobody is hurt.

Why does it?

You are strong, huh?

The protests thrills me and

depress me at the same time.

I do not know because it moves me.

Yeah, here we go for 15 minutes,

we will not wait for you.

No, sir!

Good luck out there.

Lucky? They do not need

of luck, if there is confusion.

Give me your arm.

Their number?

A lawyer to help her

If you go to the prison.

I thought you would

the number on my arm.

I think a number

is sufficient.

Okay, kids, talk less,

come, we have to go.

Come on.

- How was it yesterday?

- You gotta see this.

Look at this!

My God, we have to go shopping

for the baby, immediately.

We do not know the sex yet.

Look, the baby is already almost

being born.

We're just waiting, you know.

- So, it is boy or girl?

- We do not want to know.

- It is a police officer?

- Very funny.

Either way, I need you

behind the drum. Here everything.

- That speaks another language.

- Congratulations.

You guys are beautiful!

You are the people!

You are the power!

And we will show today,

who we are.

We are here today,

to protest.

We do not agree.

We are here today,

to divide them.

All right, bring.

Come, come, fast, fast.

They are on top of the fence.

Move, move.

Bring.

Protect your car,

protect the car.

- Jay, we installed here.

- Watch.

Nobody comes... No one leaves...

Nobody comes... No one leaves.

We have already closed the Paramount.

How is it there?

I'm going now.

Okay, see you later.

Go, go, go.

Blocked.

Jane.

What is happening?

- Do you close the Paramount.

- What? Okay, we go there.

I need to go, please.

Go back to the hotel.

I am not the WTO.

The WTO can help us.

Sorry man,

but we can not.

No one leaves,

no one enters.

This could not happen.

- Sir, we have a delicate situation.

- What is happening out there?

Look at this place.

Delegates can not pass the

is protesters on the other side.

- And the police did not stop?

- No, sir.

And why not?

He gave no orders to arrest

Nobody outside the area of the barricades.

The police are to achieve

passage of delegates, but the

demonstrators are united.

What?

They made circles with his hands and

can not separate their arms.

Lord, the chief of police

is on line 1.

Gordon, I told not to leave

anyone passing by barricades.

We could not do anything.

Today the whole center

is a full one.

You tell them not arresting,

even if we wanted to.

- My thought was no violence.

- There has been experiencing violence.

- What do we do?

- I called the forces of the state.

By calling for firefighters

to stop the protest.

But they refused it.

- What options left, then?

- Only one option left.

Gordon.

I will not hurt people, hear?

I gave them my word.

Oh Jim, I think we have no choice.

Mr.

The White House on line 2.

Okay, okay.

Okay, do you have to do and

do it fast.

- Nervous, Johnson?

- Nervous?

Are you kidding me, man?

- With this sh*t I feel invincible.

- I used to feel that way.

We have new orders, listen up.

Are close to the theater and the order is

to use all the techniques.

No arrest is made,

realized?

So stick to the Protestants

suspend the law and we watch?

All right, Johnson,

come on up.

Therefore, we in groups of five,

are ready.

- You can tell because they are here today?

- Well, basically to defend the

species in danger of extinction that

require mechanisms to maintain them.

The WTO is using these

mechanisms for illegal manner.

Well, love of turtles

but we believe that there are problems

most important in the world that

must address.

Do you think the rules of

maintenance of species are

the same for employment,

and quality of the environment

or our food getting worse.

They just want to get their brands.

You think you can sign a

trade agreement, valid.

There is no problem in having trade

that respects human rights.

The interests of the WTO are illegal.

- Thanks, it was great.

Michael, is broken,

we will repair.

Louis?

Louis?

Louis.

- You are on fire.

- Turn back, come, come.

Open your eyes,

open your eyes.

Okay, everybody, listen up

I have heard.

The protests are happening

the boulevard in the city center.

and the police is already in the middle

of the protest.

So relax.

Make a snack.

207, please.

...must do everything to happen...

Can you give me water? And whiskey.

Certainly.

- What?

- Sir, the governor on the line.

Governor? Yes, I have good news.

The White House has offered to negotiate,

with the demonstrators in the center.

- I have the secret service on top,

something must be done quickly,

Call the National Guard.

The protest is not violent,

if the National Guard,

the whole community is going to be alarmed.

- Jim, I have the secretary of state in

hotel and the White House to

pressing urgently.

I understand, but not now

can do anything. The police

is already in charge of the march.

We can not call the National Guard.

You can handle it?

Because we have a potential disaster.

John, please listen, okay?

Take some time to the police.

They are able.

- Give me just a few more hours.

- Okay, I give you two hours, that's all.

Lord, the ceremony of the CMO should

be canceled.

Okay.

It worked! It worked!

Showed where we came from.

We throw them to the ground.

One of the biggest protest in history!

Do the neighbors joined us?

- It seems so, all the neighbors.

Come on..

Do not go there, I need

you in the city center.

Say what you want and we do.

Not so, come down this path.

We are together for

same reason.

This is the strength of the union!

This is the strength of the union!

This is the strength of the union!

This is the strength of the union!

This is the strength of the union!

This is the strength of the union!

Gordon, what is happening?

We made some progress out there?

The residents are marching,

with the demonstrators in the center.

Residents also the march?

How this happened?

- We do not know.

- How do we know?

You said you did not come

the Memorial Stadium.

I know!

Then find out what is

happen, right?

F*** you!

The TV is to cover all

on the protest.

I am that I am pregnant,

let's get this too.

I will find something.

- Better be quick, I am ahead.

I am thinking in something different.

Lambada?

It is a dance.

- I met her in Brazil.

- Do not tell me that.

Was it three days walking.

Let the work, we travel

rather than do books.

Two weeks later, I discovered

I was pregnant.

Took me a promotion.

And never talked about it.

It is better to wait, you know?

- You do not wait, you have to try.

I feel like my life has changed,

and I am not ready for it.

Think you can find

something in this magazine?

You can win their

rights in law.

It can be great.

- At least considered themselves the most.

- They have to do that.

It would be better.

What are you doing?

This woman is pregnant!

Vai have a child? Think they

will like you, at this store
