Opening Up New Country in the Argentine Page #3

---

they're about to meet Fidel Castro.

No, now listen to me.

Ral wasn't really wounded. We were

the ones surrounding the army.

And those bastards escaped.

Boy!

Come on, motherf***er.

Give me a hand.

How are you?

Here.

Welcome.

- Where did you get those peasants?

- Those are my troops, man.

They're working out all right.

I don't speak out loud

because they'll get big heads.

We've missed you.

Some coffee?

Hey, Joel.

Fidel asked me why I

hadn't made you lieutenant.

I told him because you didn't know

how to read or write.

Well, I want to learn.

But I need someone to teach me.

Then get a pencil

and a pair of notebooks...

...and put them in your backpack.

Look, Che.

This is the new recruit I wanted

to introduce to you.

Doctor Martnez Pez.

Pleased to meet you.

I have a present here.

From now on...

...I stop being the medic

to become a guerrilla.

What, are you giving up your job?

Yes, sir.

- Who are they?

- Chibs and Pazos.

They're signing an agreement.

What agreement?

A political alliance.

I would say that

the only conflict we had

was with Batista and his allies...

We differed in our tactics.

They wanted to oust Batista

with a general strike...

... and we wanted to overthrow him

with an armed struggle.

As you can see

our method proved effective

for removing Batista.

All right, gentlemen.

The provisional government, first...

...will free all political

prisoners, civilian and military.

Second, it will guarantee freedom of

information for the radio and press...

...and individual and political rights

established in the 1940 Constitution.

The provisional government

will also establish terms

for the Agrarian Reform...

...leading to

the distribution of public lands.

Have a good trip.

Excuse me, Fidel.

I can't understand how you can meet

with those clowns...

...and much less, how you can make

an agreement with them.

They're fighting against

the same enemy we are.

No, you're fighting,

they're negotiating.

They have lots of followers, Ernesto.

People I can't afford to turn away.

Let's see how it goes.

But I'm sure that if we win the war...

...those guys will

hand the keys over to the U.S.

Listen, when this war is won, no

one's handing any keys to anybody.

I'll guarantee you that.

Come here, I need you

to sign something for me.

It's a letter

of condolence for Frank Pas.

They killed his brother in Santiago.

They killed his brother?

Sign as "Comandante."

Sign as "Comandante."

I'm forming a new column in

the eastern side of Mount Turquino.

You'll have three captains...

...Lalo Sardias...

...Ramiro Valds...

...and Ciro Redondo.

You have to wear out

Mosquera's troops...

...harass them constantly.

Don't let up on them.

Don't even let them breathe!

You cannot give them a break.

I want you to establish a base

at El Hombrito.

Got it?

No one can leave a wounded comrade

on the battlefield.

Right?

If any of you leave weapons behind

during battle or anywhere else...

...you'll have to go back for it, alone.

And if anyone falls asleep on guard

duty, he won't eat for three days.

Is that clear?

Thank you, Ciro.

I want to say something else...

...to make myself clear.

We respect the peasants...

...so no one is allowed

to touch their harvest...

...or mess with them...

...ortheirfamilies.

If anyone does...

...he will be punished to the full

extent of the revolutionary code.

Luis!

Come here.

Here you go. Take care

of it like it's your girlfriend.

Thank you, Comandante.

Do you need help, Comandante?

No.

- Gustavo.

- Yes, Comandante.

Take your math notebook out

and do some work.

I'm exhausted, Comandante.

Okay.

Love.

Let me tell you something

at the risk of sounding ridiculous.

A true revolutionary is guided

by great feelings of love...

... love of humanity,

justice

and truth.

It's impossible to conceive

of an authentic revolutionary...

... without this one quality.

Don't move, a**hole!

Freeze! Don't shoot!

I'm a doctor.

Che, they're shooting mortars!

How many men are in your troops?

One hundred forty.

Under whose command?

Merob Sosa.

- Mortars!

- Let's go.

- Tell me.

- Ramiro.

Go back and keep shooting until

Lalo Sardias' squad has passed.

We'll do a second line of resistance...

...up there, on the hill,

two hundred meters away.

- See you.

- Let's go, gentlemen.

That's Gustavo!

No, Roberto! Roberto!

Friends?

It would be very difficult,

it would take a long time.

By this I mean

with the U.S. government...

... because we have nothing

against the American people.

There's not even a trace of hate in

our country for the American people

Comandante, there's a page missing.

- How is this possible?

- The fourteenth.

Here is the page. It's torn out.

Excuse me, Comandante.

There's a small problem.

- What did he say?

- There's a bomb threat at the U.N.

They called the station

Hector, you go with Pedro and the

Cuban delegation in the second car...

...and I will go in the first car.

I think I should go with you.

I didn't ask your opinion.

Comandante, with all due respect...

...I came here to protect you.

And I'd like you to give me

that opportunity, at least.

- That way we'll die together if...

- No one is going to die.

Traitor!

Go away! Traitor! Murderer!

Not only did you desert

with yourweapon...

...and terrorize the area,

stealing from the poor...

...in the name of the revolution...

...but also,

because of your betrayal...

...peasants were tortured

and murdered by Batista's army.

Why, Esteban?

The punishment for treason is death.

And you...

...boasted of your authority

as a messenger for the Rebel Army...

...and passing yourself off

as Comandante Almeida...

...you raped

Juan Carlos Estvez's daughter...

...a teenager...

...and this also

deserves the death penalty.

Bring him here.

Would you like a sip of rum?

Roberto, give him a swig.

Do you have a last wish?

Let me confess to Father Chvez.

We can't bring you the priest.

He's far away, we have no time.

- Something else?

- Then give me another swig.

Give him another.

Ready.

Aim.

Make sure everyone knows I asked

for my last confession.

Fire!

Mr. President, fellow delegates...

The world has developed a great deal

in this political arena...

...but American imperialism,

above all...

...has led people to believe

that peaceful coexistence...

...is the exclusive right

of the world's most powerful nations.

Cuba, my fellow delegates,

free and sovereign...

...with no chains

tying it to anyone...

...without foreign investments

in its territory...

...free from occupant military bosses

determining political status...

...can stand tall at this assembly...

...and demonstrate the correctness of

the cry with which it was baptized.

Free territory of America!

The United States

intervenes in Latin America

claiming they defend freedom.

One day this assembly

will acquire enough maturity...

...to demand equal rights for blacks...
