Battle in Seattle Page #5

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

You have the power

to make a difference.

It is no longer time for people

have more value than the profit?

It's the same music corrupt.

All sing note for note.

Do not worry.

Be happy.

Do not worry, be happy now.

Come on!

That is, is still the same world,

we're just stuck.

At least the world is still the same.

What is wrong with you?

Something wrong

between you and Jay, right?

- What do you mean?

- Oh, you know, Django knows.

I realize me everything.

- I saw how he looked at you, baby.

- What looked?

That look, you know.

In other words, had not seen the look

a girl so long ago.

- I did not see any look!

- Okay, so I have not seen.

Maybe it was the teargas and

those things that affect your eyes.

About the arrested trying to

save you and Sam.

Good, because he can not

be arrested.

- God, was close.

- Yes, love.

If it were arrested had gone.

What do you mean, gone?

He already has two cases

against him.

One more and is out of here.

I mean, life.

It is not funny! Do not you say?

- No, he did not tell me.

- Oh, it's true.

1998, 1997.

In the forest.

Almost ran out of the balls.

Even balls that are organic.

San balls!

Come on!

The police were in

center again,

mixed with the demonstrators and

residents on Broadway and Pine streets.

Finally the patience

Police eventually.

And the battle begins on Capitol Hill.

Police recover Capitol Hill.

And some say it was with

Tear gas,

and rubber bullets that

have lost their credibility.

For many of the violent climate battle

on Capitol Hill, was the strongest.

Get ready for long vacations.

The latter group was pushed

from the Paramount Theater

Pine on the street, even outside of Capitol Hill.

F*** you, boy! What the hell!

Son of a b*tch!

Crap!

He was mijado.

- What the f***!

- Go upstairs!

Go upstairs!

- Get out! Go!

- Son of a b*tch!

Get back!

Where the hell is all staff?

You started the violence!

This was a peaceful protest!

- Come on!

- Back off!

They are proud of yourselves?

Come on, damn cowards!

They think they are very brave?

Dale, what are you doing, man?

What do you have?

- I do my job.

- Come on, he is a child!

You threw in his own son?

You shoot on your child or

use a knife?

- Get this.

- What?

Dale, who the hell are you doing?

Hold on!

- I'm not working.

- What?

Open the door!

Son of a b*tch!

Get up!

Let him go!

Let him go!

Let him go!

Let him go!

Look at me!

Let him go!

You okay?

Look at me,

Look at me.

Rest a little.

I do not gift,

I am not present.

Can you walk?

I do not gift,

I am not present.

Get up, come on.

Turn your back.

From back, please.

Open your arms.

Thursday, December 2

Where will all the staff?

There are hundreds of our prisoners,

not believe them?

This is not done yet!

We can not leave them there,

but are to rot.

What do you think we can do?

Look, I will ask for a hamburger!

- Lawyers are here?

- It was what I heard.

Who will take us from here?

Anybody here know Jay?

Nobody saw him.

So let us talk,

with someone from outside

we will not have idea with

what we're dealing with.

Its portfolio.

I need for cigarettes and

phone too.

All personal items

to be delivered, we will.

Stop on your right.

What the f*** are you looking at?

Excuse me, can do a

phone call?

- No, sit down.

- I got the number right here.

You know what 'no' mean?

A call?

When you decide to say your name

then give their rights.

Jay?

Jay!

Jay!

What the f*** did he?

His damned pigs!

Ms. Clayton, the president

will see you now.

Take a chair.

It has a great responsibility

dealing with... how many?

- 600 people?

- 600 innocent people, Mr. President.

I am the first to admit

who make mistakes.

But these demonstrators are

in prison because they broke through the law.

We know they are arrested

people without trial.

This is an archive of

demonstrators, who are in prison.

If you agree, for 2 years,

not participate in the demonstrations,

will be released immediately.

Never agree to take,

civil liberties acquired.

Not me, Mr. President.

I think I should give them an option,

considering the consequences.

- What exactly are?

Its customers are in a

precarious situation,

especially those with

criminal chips.

First of all, the rules of

the country were raped,

not giving access to prisoners

to their lawyers.

Second, access to lawyer

is not subject,

to meet with the police

questions as:
What is your name?

And finally, you do not have

resources to achieve a jury

and public defender for each

them in that prison.

Therefore, we will not do more bluff.

I want my clients

be released without fines;

no orders for compensation,

and without charges.

It's hard to help their customers

if they do not speak.

Their voices must have been taken

and took their rights.

You're kidding.

I want to see the prisoners now.

I suggest you go back in two days

when more calm.

Thank you.

Do not think that will

It was very calm.

Especially for you, Mr. President.

Thank you.

Ella, Dale on the phone again.

Say that again and within 2 days.

Jay, are you okay?

Looks like it was worth it,

after all.

It is true.

- Sorry.

- Everything is fine.

I did not know.

What?

Everything is fine.

I did not know you were

in you too.

- What?

- That voice.

That you do not stay and fight.

All that is beautiful is

caught you.

I just wanted to escape.

I feel so much.

Give me your hand.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine.

Crying like a baby.

Come on, girl hard.

- You are not alone!

- You are not alone.

The people are protesting with us!

The people are protesting with us!

- In 30 cities in the world in contact.

- In 30 cities in the world in contact.

All we are with you!

Until they are released!

The people united will never be defeated!

The people united will never be defeated!

There they are!

The people united will never be defeated!

The people united will never be defeated!

The people united will never be defeated!

Friday, December 3

Sorry Mr.

I think I would like to connect the TV.

Channel 7

And increasing the protests in prison.

How are you going?

I came to apologize to me.

I passed the line.

My wife and I lost

our baby.

I know that is no excuse, but it's just...

Really sorry.

Really, really, sorry.

Sorry.

I do not blame you.

I mean, I blame, but...

This is not the problem.

You just was doing

his work, I suppose.

Many people were

trying to fight.

You know, there are many who

like to destroy.

They touch so many lives.

Not only one, but millions.

And nobody Ihes pointing a gun.

They seem so unbelievable.

Untouchables.

We screwed,

you and me is that we must fight

...thousands of protesters

still in front of the prison...

Mr.

The lawyer of the unions is

to threaten a general strike

if the demonstrators did not

are released.

- Greve general?

- Yes, sir.

...the demonstrators demanding the release

of the 500 people arrested...

Tell me that I see evil.
