- Will he apologize?
- Yes, he will.

:58:21
You should know that the Spanish
do have slaves here.

:58:25
They buy them from the Portuguese,
amongst others.

:58:29
- And Don Cabeza connives at this?
- Yes.

:58:35
Profits by it too.
:58:37
Don Cabeza wants the mission territories
to be taken over by the Portuguese. Why?

:58:42
Because the missions are the
only sanctuary left for the Guarani.

:58:46
Without the shelter we provide
under Spanish law...

:58:49
...the Indians have no protection
against slavery.

:58:53
They come to us of their own free will.
:58:56
- Truly?
- Ask them. Ask the Guarani.

:59:01
Nine-tenths of what they earn goes back
into the community, into their lives.

:59:06
Father Gabriel, what do you think
is at issue here?

:59:12
- The work of God is at issue.
- No, what is at issue...

:59:16
...is the very existence of the
Jesuit order, both here and in Europe.

:59:22
And I assure you that
the courts of Europe are a jungle...

:59:27
...in comparison with which
your jungle here is a tidy garden.

:59:30
But is that to stand in our way?
:59:44
Thank you.
:59:55
- But why must I apologize? Why?
- Because I order it.

:59:59
- It was a lie.
- Nevertheless, I order it.
