When are you going
to get a real knife?
You can keep this.
Who has
your papers?
Right here.
Good morning,
my children.
Well, come closer.
Come closer.
Here are the names,
my president.
Now then, my children,
what's the problem
you've brought me?
Well, someone has to tell.
You must have come
for something.
Yes, my president.
We have come for something.
Well, you. You tell me.
You know that field?
That field with the big
white rock in the middle,
just south of Anenecuilco?
My president, our delegation...
They've taken our land away.
Who took your land away?
My children,
when you make accusations,
be certain you
have the facts.
Who took your land away?
The big estate there.
It's bigger than a kingdom.
They've taken
our green valleys.
Left us only
the rocky hillside.
We can't grow
our corn there.
That's right. There's a
We can't feed our cows.
by that white rock?
They burned those!
They're planting sugarcane in our corn land.
Can you prove that
you own this field?
We have a paper
from the Spanish Crown.
We have a paper from
the Mexican Republic.
Well, if this is true,
you have no problem.
My children,
I'll send you to
my personal attorney.
But before you see him,
I urge you to find
your boundary stones.
Check them against
your grants and titles.
Verify your boundaries,
facts.
Facts.
Now, my children,
I have many other matters
to attend to.
I've been your president
for 34 years.
It's not an easy job
being president.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, my president.
Thank you, my president.
Thank you.
What's next?
We can't verify the boundaries, my president.
The land is fenced
They're planting sugarcane
The courts will settle...
With your permission...
Courts?
Do you know of any land suit that
was ever won by country people?
Has your land been taken?
My father's land was taken
long ago, my president.
My children, I'm your father,
your protector.
I'm of your blood.
But believe me,
these matters take time.
You must be patient.
With your permission,
my president,
we make our tortillas
out of corn, not patience.
And patience will not cross
To do as you suggest,
we need your authority
to cross that fence.
I cannot possibly
exercise such authority.
But you advised it.
I can only advise.
Then naturally, my president,
we will do as you advise.
Thank you.
With your permission.
You!
Yes, my president?
What is your name?
Zapata.
What is it?
Emiliano
Zapata.
There you are.
Thank you,
my son.
My pleasure, Father.
Come here!
Here! Here! Here!
Go back!
Get him! The one
on the white horse!
That's the one we're
supposed to bring in!
That's the one!
The one on the white horse!
That's the one!
Come on!
Zapata!
Emiliano Zapata!
Zapata!
Emiliano Zapata!
Zapata!
Emiliano Zapata!
The stupid.
He's still coming.
Who do you
think he is?
Stranger.
Look at his clothes.
Emiliano, shall I kill him?
No, shoot in front
of him again.
Careful,
don't hit him.
When I wanna hit him,
I hit him.
When I wanna to
miss him, I miss him.
Man has been known
to die of a close miss.
Zapata!
Emiliano Zapata!
He's more stupid than I
thought. He's still coming.
He's crazy.
You know it's not nice
to kill crazy people?
Emiliano, shall I try him
again? A little closer?
A little closer?
How can you come closer?
Maybe he has a message.
Look, maybe it's a trap.
Why don't we kill him? It's so much
easier instead of so much worry.
What does it cost?
One little bullet?
No!
What do you want?
I'm looking for
Emiliano Zapata.
He's not here.
His friends sent me.
Who are his friends?
People of the village.
He's not here.
I have no weapons.
What's this?
Writing machine.
Sword of the mind.
I thought you had
no weapons.
Don't you dare break that!
Put it down!
Put it down!
Hermano!
Put it down.
You're Emiliano Zapata.
I come with news of Madero,
leader of the fight against Diaz.
Give me some water.
Why do you come to me?
Give me some water
while I talk to you.
Fernando Aguirre.
Pablo Gomez.
I want to talk to you.
Talk.
I want you to listen.
Well, talk.
"The despotism of Porfirio
Diaz is unbearable.
"For more than 34 years he's ruled
with the hand of a ruthless tyrant."
Yeah, Blanco.
Pretty soon now.
Listen. "The true meaning of democracy
has long been forgotten in Mexico.
"Elections are a farce. The people
have no voice in the government.
"The control of the country
is in the hands of one man.
"And those he's appointed
to carry out his orders."
Who wrote that?
Francisco Madero.
"If we are to bring back to Mexico the
freedom that goes only with democracy
"we must unite to drive
this tyrant from office."
Who's Madero?
Leader of the fight
against Diaz.
Where is he?
Right now, he's in a part
of the United States. Texas.
A fine place to lead
From Texas he's
making preparations.
Now he's ready to move.
He's sending out many people
like me to spread the word,
search out leaders
I was sent to
the state of Morelos.
Careful.
The smell of a mare came in on the
wind this morning and he's restless.
So am I.
The people in
the town told me...
Don't believe
what people tell you.
Hey! Hey, you!
Come on. Eat.
Go on. Eat.
Madero?
Yes. You remember I once read to
you about him in the newspaper?
You promised to
teach me to read.
I will, I will.
Let's talk to this man
more about Madero.
Maybe he has a letter.
No, anybody can
write a letter. Even you.
I'd like to look
at Madero's eyes.
Then go to wherever he is
and talk to him. I can't.
Why not?
No.
I know why.
I want you to go to Madero
and look in his face
and tell me what you see.
Me? He's in Texas.
Well, then go to Texas.
How far is it?
Who knows? Go and see.
You know I've never
been out of our state.
Now you will be. I want you to
go to see if we can trust him.
I like his face.
But a picture is
only a picture.
All right.
When do you want me to go?
Now.
Now!
Right now. Cinch up.
If you like what
you see in his face,
tell him about
our troubles here.
And tell him that we recognize
Where is he going?
What?
Where is he going?
I don't know.
He didn't say.
Now he's going.
Where is he going?
I don't know.
He didn't say.
What's the matter
with him?
Woman. What else?
Where are you going?
What else?
What about her?
She can take care
of herself.
This is all
very disorganized.
Police.
Josefa,
I must speak with you.
Federales are after you.
I know. I risked my life to come here.
When may I speak
with your father?
What for?
To ask permission
for your hand.
No, don't do it.
