In the Time of the Butterflies Page #5

No, we are very well treated here.

Have you any complaints at all?

Only...

...that I want to be at home

with my family.

Minerva and Maria Teresa Mirabal.

- The men? Any word from them?

- No.

Minou.

Come on, let's go. Thank God.

I'm so proud of you.

This is not forever. You'll get better.

- You've got to come out of this room.

- I can't. It's too much.

- Too much?

- Noise, light, life.

Minerva, you have to be strong again.

We need to get our husbands back.

Corpus Christi.

Long live the Butterflies.

God bless the Butterflies.

Seora Minerva? Good morning.

I have some good news for you.

I just learned that your husbands

are safe and well.

So I made some inquiries for you,

and I found out...

...that they're all being held

in different prisons.

I pulled some strings, and they're

all being moved to Puerto Plata.

El Jefe has granted you permission

to visit them.

Can you please tell El Jefe that

we are all very thankful for his generosity?

You're gonna be able

to thank him yourselves.

He's gonna be stopping at your place

on his way to San Julian...

...to hear your words of gratitude.

Minerva, what's wrong?

We all know what's wrong.

People look up to us now.

If we welcome Trujillo in our home

and pay tribute to him...

...as if nothing has happened,

we're gonna send the wrong message.

You don't have to believe in

whatever you might say to him.

It's just going to buy us

some peace of mind.

But for how long? How many more

humiliations do we have to take?

Jefe.

Seora Mirabal,

you have a beautiful daughter.

Thank you. Go get your grandma.

It is a great honor

to have you here in Ojo de Agua.

I love to drop by on people.

See how they really live.

I am very happy to have this opportunity

to thank you for our release from prison.

Now that you've gotten

your second chance...

...what are you plans for your new life?

I'm afraid I will need your help

one more time.

I've known you for many years.

You've done pretty well without it.

I think we both know that's not true.

You're relentless.

Fighting so bravely for a lost cause.

But then again,

maybe I'm fighting a lost cause, too.

Can you please help us

get our husbands out of prison?

I will do everything I can

to end your troubles.

Take care!

I'll look out for them, Doa Mercedes.

You can rely upon me.

Bye!

It's so good to see you, so good.

Don't let everyone see

how you're making me crazy.

Mate, I can't believe I'm seeing you.

Don't worry, we'll soon be together.

Look at Minou.

Already so big and beautiful.

Just like her mother.

Minerva, if anything happens to me...

Nothing will happen to you.

Every night they take men out,

and they never come back.

We know they're being killed.

Be invisible. Don't let them notice you.

There are rumors.

The goat will be killed.

- When?

- Soon. Very soon.

Be careful. Please.

I will.

- I love you, Minerva.

- And I love you.

It was so good to talk.

Only, Pedrito looks so thin.

We'll get them home and fatten them up.

We are being followed.

Step out of the jeep, all of you.

Just a moment, I have my papers.

Move!

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be all right.

Let's go.

Help! They're gonna kill us!

Tell people they killed the Mirabals!

You don't have to do it.

I know you don't believe in this.

Please let us go.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

"He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures... "
