Che: Part Two Page #4

with a German priest and a man.

They gave all the information.

They want to talk to the boss.

They gave us some sweets and stuff.

- Inti, have those people seen you?

- No.

Many of your men are not Bolivian.

That's why no one trusts you.

But they trust you.

They asked us to talk to you.

Then tell them that our army

is open to anyone who wants to fight.

They should be here with us.

No, they reject everything

that has to do with violence.

So people in power can use

violence to oppress us,

but we can't use it to free ourselves?

They don't want to join you

and they don't want you here.

You don't have the right

to ruin their lives.

You are going to have peace today

in Muyupampa

on the condition that you bring us

a truck of food and medical goods

by 6 p.m. On this watch.

We'll meet at Nemesio's farm.

We'll pay for everything.

Then we'll go, you have my word.

Okay.

Open your mouth.

They will torture Bustos and Debray.

They'll learn everything.

Ramn.

I think you should change your name.

That's not a bad idea.

Plane! Get everyone out of the house.

- Run!

- Cover yourselves!

Quickly, under the tree!

Get out of here!

Most of these men are Cubans.

Don't be mistaken.

This is an invasion promoted by Castro.

A Communist plot to remove a peaceful,

democratically elected government.

President Barrientos,

what about the Americans?

Are there U.S. Military advisors?

The United States has sent planes,

helicopters and nothing more.

That's their response

to the guerrilla threat?

Our military is entirely capable

of handling this situation.

The guerrilla forces

are on their last legs.

Is Che Guevara leading this group?

I'll say it once.

Che Guevara is not in Bolivia.

Fernando.

The miners are threatening

to go on strike.

Where?

In Catavi, Siglo XX.

The miners are going on strike!

Miners have pledged 50 bolivianos

of their paychecks to our cause.

For them, that's a fortune.

Arturo, report to Miguel at the ambush

and replace Pablito.

I'll go through all of Bolivia

without firing a single shot.

Okay.

Sir, the situation is slipping

through our fingers.

The pope and de Gaulle

are pressuring us about Debray.

Some members of your coalition

are expressing support for the strike

and sympathy for the rebel cause.

We need to take control of this thing.

What do you have in mind?

Tell people about Guevara.

Declare a state of emergency

and crack down on the Siglo XX miners,

the iron fist.

Seal the borders and declare

a national state of war.

And the rebels?

Your main problem, Mr. President,

is the lack of coordination

among your deployed forces.

I couldn't agree more, sir.

What do you suggest?

Divide the region in three zones.

Surround each zone,

cut off its source of supply,

and liquidate any guerrilla forces.

A few minutes ago,

Radio Argentina reported

the sad news about

the Siglo XX massacre,

which resulted in the deaths

of 87 miners.

The families and fellow miners

mourn their loss.

What are they saying

on Bolivian stations?

The same.

They confirm the battle in the mines,

but they are silent about the death toll.

They hit Pombo.

They almost got us, man.

Pour me some water.

Come on, breathe.

The worst is over.

He asked that you hold his watch

until you can give it to his son.

Joaqun.

We can't circle it forever.

This place is crawling with troops.

Ramn told us

not to move out of the area.

That was before

the army overran our camp.

We have no food left, nothing.

If Ramn were coming back,

he'd be here by now.

If we leave,

how are we going to meet him?

If Ramn is not here it's because

the army is preventing him.

I say we find our way to the Rio Grande.

We've got as much chance

finding Ramn across the river

as we do here.

Good morning, miss.

Can you sell me a can of milk?

Ricardo, what's up?

- Shut up and give me your canteen.

- Moron!

Breathe! Now hold it.

- F***!

- Calm down.

Hold it!

Breathe.

How long are we going

to look for these people?

Until we find them.

I agree, but I think

we're moving away from them.

We should try to make contact

with the capital again.

We're at an impasse.

How many more of us have to die

to find the other group?

Chapaco, if you were lost,

we'd do the same thing.

No one abandons anyone in the group.

Is that clear?

Let's go.

Excuse me, Fernando,

but the men are starving

and we have nothing to give them.

We also have nothing for the animals.

They're eating the bark off the trees.

- What do you want me to do?

- Kill a horse.

I'm giving you another shot.

Fernando, with your permission.

I think I could

make it back to the camp

to look for your medicines.

What do you want?

Do you want me

to divide the group again?

I'm not doing it.

And even less, risk anyone's life

for the sake of my own well-being.

We are in a difficult situation.

The truth is, all of us

have made mistakes.

But I made the worst mistake

when I didn't bring my medicines along.

This struggle gives us

the opportunity to become

true revolutionaries,

the highest level of humanity.

To become men

in the purest sense of the word.

Too old to learn.

If the wheel rolls downhill,

let it go.

Come on, let's go up.

Let's go!

- Let's go!

- No, I can hold them!

Go!

You bastards!

They're reporting three hours

of intense combat in Monteagudo

between a group of guerrillas

and the 3rd division.

The army didn't suffer any casualties.

Here's Monteagudo.

They are talking about

one dead guerrilla

named Antonio Fernndez from Tarata.

Pombo, sounds like it was Pedro.

He's from Tarata.

Monteagudo is here.

- Where exactly?

- Here, south of ancahuaz.

This is where Joaqun

and his group are operating.

- So, what we're hearing makes sense.

- We're not far off.

- Good afternoon, sir.

- Good afternoon.

With your permission,

I need to check your house.

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Hello, madam.

Good afternoon.

Don't worry, madam,

we won't do you any harm.

Who's that man over there?

- Sit down.

- No, thanks.

- Who is that man?

- Oh, he's a friend...

Is he all right?

Have you seen the army around here?

He's a neighbor. He has a fever.

We have a doctor with us.

We'll bring him to see you

when we come back.

Do you understand me?

But what about the army?

We need to find a way

across the river, a ford.

You live here and you know

this area well. You can help us.

Get us some food.

There, have some money.

You are seven people, right?

And eight with the woman.

How do you know that we're seven?

I'm slowing everyone down.

I don't know if I'll be able to go on.

Of course you can, Tania.

We'll be back in two days.

Remember, sir, find us an easy place

to cross the river.

Pombo, I've got to talk to Fernando.

Fernando is sleeping.

He's recovering from an asthma attack.

Don't you think he's had

enough worries for today?

Let him rest.

Inti, what's the matter?

Okay, go and tell him.

I think you should speak
