My compliments, lbrahim.
Because of you they know where to look.

1:03:35
- Who ordered you to ambush that convoy?
- I thought you'd be pleased.

1:03:38
I wanted to show that you taught us well.
1:03:40
You lost a machine gun,
disclosed the direction of withdrawal...

1:03:43
...and brought back no information.
1:03:45
They wore funny caps and boots,
like yours.

1:03:47
Paratroopers, but which outfit?
1:03:50
My good friend the mayor in Gafez...
1:03:55
...he told me they were expecting
the 10th regiment.

1:03:57
The 10th, I never heard of that one.
1:04:01
Let me make a raid into town tonight
and throw a few grenades...

1:04:04
...to give them a welcome.
1:04:07
Stop it!
1:04:10
My plan is that we hide out.
1:04:12
We must keep the French busy
hunting us down.

1:04:14
Do we stop fighting?
1:04:15
No. But you will avoid all contact
on your own:

1:04:18
Only sorties under my direct command
will be made.

1:04:21
In five weeks time help is coming
and this will turn the tide.

1:04:25
Our people will rise up
from one end of the country...

1:04:28
...to the other and push the French
back into the sea.

1:04:30
Then, we'll give ourselves a treat
with all their wives and daughters.

1:04:38
Do you want to win your independence?
1:04:41
Do you want to feel the equal
of any Frenchman?

1:04:45
Then you will have to become soldiers...
1:04:47
...real soldiers with discipline
as good as theirs, better.

1:04:50
The trouble with you, Mahidi...
1:04:52
...is you still think
you are in the French army.

1:04:55
Ahmed, I'm ordering you back into Gafez.
You leave now.

1:04:59
My time is running out in Gafez.
