They support us.

Che needed somewhere

to train for six months...

...where he wouldn't be bothered.

How is that ancahuaz region?

It's a very remote place.

Life is hard there.

In fact,

the few peasants who live there...

...don't trust foreigners.

The Soviets won't allow Monje

to make a deal.

No.

We have some money

that we want you to take to Bolivia.

And we need to find out if

there's anything else...

...that we need to send.

We also found a cave

which could be useful.

Good morning.

I told the men that I'm going back

to La Paz today.

I'm resigning from the party.

My mission...

...is over.

- Okay.

- The jeep arrives this afternoon.

Why don't you stay in the camp

until the jeep arrives?

I would like to be alone.

I'll wait at the zinc house.

Fine.

I'll return on January 10th,

with my decision made.

Okay. Monje, we'll be here.

Coco, find Moiss Guevara.

Tell him I want to talk to him.

We're leaving in a few days

on a training march...

...for about 20, 25 days.

I'll go to the mines.

I'll be back between the 4th and

I'd like to come back earlier,

but it's Carnival season...

...La Diablada in Oruro.

My men will be all spread out,

it'll be difficult to gather them.

You are our primary

connection to the outside.

Your cover needs to remain intact.

You can't come back to the camp.

There may be a strike at Siglo XX.

And your husband?

How are things? Did you

get the trip straightened out?

I arranged everything so that

he could go study in Bulgaria.

What about Barrientos?

What happened there?

We've been in contact.

- What happened?

- I think he likes me.

I know he likes me.

- Should I try to see him again?

- Yes.

Tania, when this thing heats up...

...your job will make the difference.

Here are provisions?

Sugar, eggs, flour? What's needed.

The new employee, is he Bolivian?

Yes.

- How much do I owe you?

- No, keep your money.

- No, keep it.

- We are neighbours now.

- Take it.

- I'm not doing this for the money.

I want to take part in your project.

I have relatives in transportation.

You can rely on me for everything.

Okay?

Go with Tuma to see our neighbour...

...and tell him we need his help.

Involve him without offering much.

Tell him that we'll pay

for what he carries in the jeep...

...and nothing else.

Tumaini.

Put a little fear in him.

And explain to him that if he

betrays us he'll pay with his life.

You can drive back and forth

to town in your jeep...

...so you can buy the food we need

and we'll pay you well.

Yes, sure, whatever you want.

- Good.

- I have to tell you something.

In private, because it's something

I would only say to a friend.

Okay, fine.

You want some more?

There were two

little birds who lived in a tree.

One was quiet, the other liked to

fluff his feathers, and sing and sing.

One day a hunter came by.

He heard him sing,

then put him in his sights and shot.

But the other bird, the quiet one,

nothing happened to him.

He saved his own life.

It's a nice story.

- It's good.

- It's good. I liked it.

I really liked it.

I know what you mean.

You junkie son of a b*tch.

We'll see.

Good morning.

- How are you?

- Good morning.

This looks beautiful!

I see the factory is doing well.

- Good morning.

- Come with me.

Can we come in? Show me the house.

I see you are really busy.

Soon. I don't know when, but soon...

...we will confront the enemy.

Our contact

with the outside will be limited.

Some of us will die, and it's

sad to see your comrades die...

...because you can't help them

with your limited resources.

Food will be scarce.

Sometimes we won't have

anything to eat.

And if all of this weren't enough...

...we'll have to

endure the harsh weather.

By the end...

...we will have become human waste.

That's all I can promise you.

Think it over.

You still have time to go back home.

Afterwards it will be too late.

In closing...

...I would like to repeat...

...what I said to Monje.

Me? I'm already here.

They would have to kill me

to get me out of here.

I will be at the side

of those who stay, until victory.

How much corn can you

sell us right now?

There's not even enough for us, sir.

At least sell us a pig.

They're piglets, just little ones.

How am I going to sell them?

Besides, they belong to the missus.

How much is your pig, madam?

I can't sell them,

they're only sucklings.

I'll pay you 30,000 bolivianos.

I'm not sure.

How about 40,000?

Should we sell or not?

Make it 50,000, okay?

Okay.

What conditions do they live in?

Very bad.

Do they have children?

They have six kids.

Barefoot, all full of ticks.

One of the little boys

has a badly infected eye.

How old is the peasant?

About 40, 50 years old.

I think he's a bit older, you know?

And when you offered the money,

how did he react?

His eyes sparkled

when he saw the money.

Hello.

Good day, Honorato.

Come, I want to talk to you.

We want there

to be schools for your children...

...and hospitals to take care of them...

...and roads to be built...

...so trucks can reach here

and you can sell your products.

Don't you want all these things?

Well, yes, that would be nice.

But in order to do this,

we need your help.

Two...

...and three.

Look.

You are a big man.

May God repay you.

- It's all right.

- May God repay you.

Okay.

- See you.

- Bye, madam.

- Goodbye.

- May God repay you.

What are you doing?

That's communal food.

No one helps themselves without

being given permission to do so.

Understood?

I'll let you off this one time

because you don't know the rules yet.

- Everything belongs to the group.

- But we're hungry.

We're all hungry, Daro.

But one can feed six for breakfast.

There's one missing.

I have no radio coverage

with the main camp so I'm going back.

No, big guy.

You're not going anywhere.

Stay with us until six, then you

can tell Ramn how far we've gone.

No, I'm going now

while it's still light out.

Hey, I'm giving you an order!

Stay here until six.

- I'm leaving now.

- You're not leaving, can't you hear?

You listen to me, I'm f***ing going.

You'll have to

go through my machete first!

- Hey!

- What's wrong with you?

Hey, Miguel!

What's going on here?

Listen, listen!

Miguel, look at me!

Hey, you're comrades.

"Comrades" for what?

He has to follow orders!

That's enough!

Miguel, you have to control yourself...

...and give orders with respect...

...like a boss.

You cannot threaten

or hit anyone here.

That's not

permitted by the guerrilla.

And you know that better than anyone.

And you...

...lied.

Miguel never hit you with the machete

handle. He didn't even touch you.

The one thing I won't tolerate here...

...is a liar!

One more incident like that, Pacho...

...and I'll send you back to Cuba

with a dishonourable discharge.

Incidents like this destroy group

morale and our readiness for combat...

...not only of you, or you...

...but of the entire group.

If anyone feels weak or discouraged...
