- Buenas tardes, compadre Lorca.
- Buenas tardes, compadre.
:43:20
Have you seen the priest?
He was looking for you.
:43:22
- Again?
- He heard about the killings.
:43:25
He said we should have
tried to reason with them.
:43:28
Reason?
Did I build an empire upon reason?
:43:32
Did we reason with renegades,
bandits, corrupt officials?
:43:36
But these are not renegades, nor bandits.
:43:40
- Nor are they corrupt.
- You never tire of being my conscience.
:43:45
"The strong must be
generous to the weak."
:43:47
You know who made up
that rule? The weak!
:43:53
Francisco, I have to talk to you.
Two workers were killed last night.
:43:57
- They were trying to escape.
- But you have no right.
:44:02
Look, Father. I know
your feelings for these people.
:44:05
But would it be a more honourable death
if they fell pulling a plough?
:44:09
- The Church cannot sanction...
- Sanction? You wanted a church.
:44:13
You couldn't pray it into existence
so you came to me.
:44:16
- You chose this place, these methods.
- For a reason.
:44:20
What reason can there be
for killing in cold blood, Francisco?
:44:23
- You wouldn't understand.
- I understand murder, slavery.
:44:29
Look, Father. I set out
to rebuild this church, this village...
:44:34
...and that is what I'm going to do,
with or without your blessing.
:44:37
I cannot stand by
and let this go on, Francisco.
:44:40
- Nothing says you have to stay.
- Everything says I have to stay.
:44:49
He is right, Father.
You should leave this place.
:44:52
- I can't.
- You mean you won't.
:44:54
I mean I can't.
