than anyone could even dream.

And now you turn your back

on the people.

How do you expect me

to respect that?

Answer me!

You want my answer?

Here's my answer!

We take up our swords again.

The plan is already agreed on.

l'll go to Cartagena,

l'll go to Venezuela.

From there l'll march on Caracas.

We will finally take the power

away from that traitor.

Urdaneta stays here in Bogota,

in charge of the capital.

Sucre goes back to the south

and recaptures it.

We'll reunify the Republic, maestro.

When?

l have to go, Simon.

Have a good trip, Mariscal.

Why?

l would be much more help with you

than here.

You're the only person l can trust.

When this is over,

l will come back for you.

Good-bye, my love.

Good-bye, Manuela.

Simon. . .

Your enemies are spreading around that

you have tuberculosis.

They must be up to something.

Be careful.

-Stop!

-Stop, soldiers!

l have a message for the Liberator!

General! Liberator!

What happened?

The general Sucre, General. . .

Deliver the message, dammit.

General Sucre, sir. . .

. . .was murdered.

He was ambushed in the forest

in Berruecos.

He died from three gunshots.

Get my horse ready.

Our enemies are cruel and powerful.

Much more than we imagined.

But we must stay strong,

and protect the unity

of the republic at all costs.

Simon Bolivar, the Liberator.

Have this letter delivered to Urdaneta

as soon as possible.

-Yes, sir.

-Okay.

Hello, General.

Fernando, leave us alone.

Fernando.

l need you to get a ship. A brig.

We have to transport

a dozen soldiers.

Yes.

We have to move fast

without attracting attention,

all right?

Get everything ready.

General.

Fernando.

lt's all taken care of, General.

Who does the ship belong to?

Joaquin de Mier.

A Spaniard loyal to our cause.

Check out the ship.

You and rest stand guard.

Yes, sir.

Why are you alone?

Don't you have a family?

l've got a brother and two sisters,

but they're very young.

And you take care of them?

Yes.

Your father must be proud of you.

My dad died in the war.

-What's your name?

-Simon Bolivar.

El Liberator?

No, l'm not the Liberator.

l was named after him.

They say

he passed through here once.

-Really?

-That's what they say.

Fernando, watch the door.

Put down the sword, General.

Let the boy go.

Run.

Run, l tell you!

Now, throw down the sword.

Pick it up.

Who sent you?

The General has many friends.

Your ship's ready.

Everything's been arranged.

Bon voyage, Liberator.

Fire.

Fire!
