00:00Quite right. I do hate the rich, but I hate the church even more.
00:05And I want the American people to know that. You tell them.
00:08I'd also like to tell them why, General.
00:11Because of what they, together, have done to the poor.
00:15My family were peons, and they worked themselves to death for the rich.
00:20Oh, they threw a centavo to us every now and then.
00:24But they gave gold to the church.
00:27Do you know why, gentlemen?
00:29To keep the people drugged with all their mumbo-jumbo.
00:33And afraid. Always afraid.
00:36Well, it is the end of all that.
00:39Today, a fresh wind is blowing through my country.
00:42No more rich. No more church.
00:45Is that clear, Mr. Weiler?
00:47Yes, General. Quite clear.
00:49Now tell me, why is Humbert in jail?
00:54He's in danger.
00:55There's no real charge. They can't prove anything.
00:58The lawyer from the League is trying to get him out.
01:01But what did he do?
01:03Remember your idea about the balloons?
01:06That crazy joke? That I said would annoy el General?
01:10Yes, well, Humberto decided that it was a good trick.
01:13But how did they know he did it?
01:15Without meaning to do any harm. People talk, Miguel.
01:18Yes, I see.
01:21Have you been to Senora Altera's in Concepción since you've been here?
01:25We were afraid it might mean trouble for her.
01:28How terrible that my being a priest should bring danger to all who are close to me.
01:36Prisoner Pro, step over here.
01:41A few questions in reference to the balloon incident.
01:45Here, Juan.
01:49If you want to know what's inside them,
01:53you'll have to tell me what's inside them.
01:57Here, Juan.
02:01If you want to know what's inside them,
02:05catch one.
02:27Coco!
02:29But what are you doing here?
02:32Thinking how I can get you out.
02:34But you can do nothing.
02:36Get out of here and fast. They know you're back.
02:39One of the officials here knows us from before, Carlos Lorea.
02:43There must be someone that I can contact.
02:46The League's lawyer is doing all he can.
02:49Leave well enough alone. Now get out of here!
