1. Nothing.
Copy !req
2. What are you going to do?
Copy !req
3. Let's see what we can find in town.
Copy !req
4. How did it go?
Copy !req
5. - Bad. No work anywhere.
- Or fish.
Copy !req
6. I went to La Ensenadilla yesterday
and this is all I could find.
Copy !req
7. Miguel, my son is really sick.
Copy !req
8. Do you need anyone else to work?
Copy !req
9. Hold on.
Copy !req
10. Any work for Zurdo and Miro?
Copy !req
11. Not even for one of us?
Copy !req
12. - No.
- Too bad.
Copy !req
13. Go see Don Anselmo Herrera.
Copy !req
14. He might be able to help you.
Copy !req
15. No, Miguel.
Copy !req
16. I'd do anything
not to have to ask him a favor.
Copy !req
17. There's still no fish.
Copy !req
18. The season is late this year.
Copy !req
19. Should I buy another ice machine?
Copy !req
20. Excellent!
Copy !req
21. Thank you.
Copy !req
22. Good-bye, uncle, and take care.
Copy !req
23. - Good morning, Don Anselmo.
- Good morning.
Copy !req
24. I would like to ask you something.
Copy !req
25. - What?
- My son is very sick.
Copy !req
26. If he doesn't get to the hospital soon,
he'll die.
Copy !req
27. Lend me enough for the trip.
Copy !req
28. I worked in your fish market last year.
Copy !req
29. I will work to pay you back.
Copy !req
30. Business is bad, expenses are high.
Copy !req
31. There's no way for me to help you.
Forgive me.
Copy !req
32. It's not right for a child to die...
Copy !req
33. because his father
couldn't pay to cure him.
Copy !req
34. - Where did you get those?
- In La Ensenadilla.
Copy !req
35. Look, the best of the year!
- Let's go see Santiago.
Copy !req
36. Put the nets down there.
Copy !req
37. Out of the way, let us work.
Copy !req
38. Put your hands down.
Out of the way, let us through.
Copy !req
39. That's fine.
Copy !req
40. Unload the fish.
Copy !req
41. I'll see Don Anselmo
and hear what he has to say now.
Copy !req
42. Thank you!
Copy !req
43. Come on, guys. Let's go.
Copy !req
44. Miguel, now we'll make our money!
Copy !req
45. You'll see!
Copy !req
46. I can't do anything today.
Copy !req
47. If they elect me,
you know how things will go.
Copy !req
48. But you need money for these things.
Copy !req
49. Yes, I agree,
Copy !req
50. but the fishing is not going well.
Copy !req
51. Good day, Don Anselmo.
Good day, sir.
Copy !req
52. - What's the latest?
- There are plenty of fish.
Copy !req
53. Good.
Copy !req
54. Use the big boat
and the new fishing net.
Copy !req
55. Don't tell me
you need to buy something else.
Copy !req
56. I just need people, boss.
Copy !req
57. Fine. Hire some and hurry.
Copy !req
58. You know that when the catch is good,
your commission is good.
Copy !req
59. That's why I'm the chief.
Copy !req
60. Excuse me.
Copy !req
61. What do you say now, Don Anselmo?
Copy !req
62. We'll see.
Copy !req
63. Where did you get the money
for luxuries?
Copy !req
64. I worked in the mangrove swamp
cutting the stalks for Don Andres' wife.
Copy !req
65. Well, you got luckier than me.
Copy !req
66. I'll wait for you,
so you can buy me root beer.
Copy !req
67. I don't need anyone else.
I've got all the workers I need.
Copy !req
68. Do you want to fish with me?
Copy !req
69. Come to the lighthouse.
We're leaving soon.
Copy !req
70. See you there.
Copy !req
71. - Could I come too, Mingo?
- Yes, but I'm not waiting for anyone.
Copy !req
72. How are you, Miro?
Copy !req
73. - How do you think?
- You've been unlucky.
Copy !req
74. Would you like to fish with us?
Copy !req
75. Yes, I need work.
Copy !req
76. Come on, then.
The boat is by the lighthouse.
Copy !req
77. - Forty-three kilos.
- Forty-three kilos.
Copy !req
78. Fifty-eight kilos.
Copy !req
79. Lower.
Copy !req
80. We worked hard today, boys.
Copy !req
81. If we carry on this way,
I'll buy a house for Helena.
Copy !req
82. Who's more stupid? Man or fish?
Copy !req
83. Who knows?
Copy !req
84. A man who lets himself be caught
hook, line and sinker by a woman.
Copy !req
85. Well, yours definitely caught you good.
Copy !req
86. Thirty kilos, no more.
Copy !req
87. Come on, they're going to pay us.
Copy !req
88. Come and get your cut.
Copy !req
89. - How much did they bring in, Mingo?
- 340.
Copy !req
90. Good.
Copy !req
91. At six centavos per kilo,
each person gets 72 centavos.
Copy !req
92. What are you waiting for?
What are you doing?
Copy !req
93. Same as always.
Seventy-two centavos for 10 hours' work.
Copy !req
94. All so that the rich get richer.
Copy !req
95. You shouldn't be complaining.
Copy !req
96. Be grateful you've got a job.
Copy !req
97. Look at him, he's young and strong.
Copy !req
98. He's happy.
He doesn't complain.
Copy !req
99. Happy?
Copy !req
100. Have you ever lost a son
because you couldn't afford medicine?
Copy !req
101. No, I have never been that unlucky.
Copy !req
102. You call it bad luck.
Copy !req
103. I call it misery.
Copy !req
104. Yes, I agree,
the world isn't perfect,
Copy !req
105. and working conditions aren't ideal,
Copy !req
106. but if you vote for me,
I promise I will improve the situation.
Copy !req
107. Do you think we're idiots?
Copy !req
108. We know you would say anything
to get us to vote for you.
Copy !req
109. Not me, and I promise to make you lose
as many votes as I can.
Copy !req
110. We are tired of false politicians.
Copy !req
111. While we're talking of promises,
Copy !req
112. I'll make you one and I'll keep it.
Copy !req
113. I don't care about your promises
and they don't scare me.
Copy !req
114. Relax.
Copy !req
115. Let's go, Miro.
Copy !req
116. You know the big fish always win.
Copy !req
117. Why argue? This is how it works.
It never gets us anywhere.
Copy !req
118. Yes, but we're not fish.
Copy !req
119. What a great fishing net.
No holes for it to escape.
Copy !req
120. Who? The fish, or us?
Copy !req
121. Us and the fish.
What do you want us to do?
Copy !req
122. Take poison.
Copy !req
123. Don't be stupid.
Copy !req
124. When you're my age,
you'll know less than you do now.
Copy !req
125. Maybe.
Copy !req
126. After working 25 years on the sea
for few centavos,
Copy !req
127. a man's brain gets wet
and his heart dries out.
Copy !req
128. If you'd ever gone to church,
you wouldn't talk like that.
Copy !req
129. Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
130. I don't have to give my money to others
to get a place in Heaven.
Copy !req
131. And besides,
I don't plan on going there.
Copy !req
132. We know you don't believe in anything,
just what's in your glass.
Copy !req
133. At least that way I can forget them
Copy !req
134. and their damn nets and boats.
Copy !req
135. They who have everything
and who give you nothing.
Copy !req
136. That's God's will.
Copy !req
137. Yeah, and mine
is to take my knife and -
Copy !req
138. No, that's just mindless destruction.
Copy !req
139. Listen to me.
Copy !req
140. Listen to me, everyone!
Copy !req
141. We must do something, but not this.
Copy !req
142. This will get us nowhere.
Copy !req
143. We must call a meeting, today,
Copy !req
144. to decide what we should do.
Copy !req
145. I need to tell you something.
Copy !req
146. We should make a plan
to defend ourselves,
Copy !req
147. but all the fishermen need to go.
Copy !req
148. You go and tell them on the pier.
Copy !req
149. You tell them at La Trocha,
Copy !req
150. and you at La Ribera.
Copy !req
151. How's it going?
Copy !req
152. Have you heard the latest?
Copy !req
153. What?
Copy !req
154. I found a man named Albino
running to a meeting.
Copy !req
155. What meeting?
Copy !req
156. To make a statement
about how little you pay them.
Copy !req
157. I see. It is serious, then.
Copy !req
158. I told you so,
Copy !req
159. and it's more serious
for your business and mine.
Copy !req
160. I trust I can count on you to -
Copy !req
161. Good word of mouth
can do wonders, as you know.
Copy !req
162. And even more with a bit of...
Copy !req
163. Fine.
Copy !req
164. Here's 200 pesos.
Copy !req
165. Come back for the other half
when this has been sorted out.
Copy !req
166. I know these people.
Copy !req
167. Yes, but don't forget time flies.
Copy !req
168. Friends.
Copy !req
169. How long do we have to put up
with this slavery and poverty?
Copy !req
170. Who of you in any given year
earns more than 40 centavos a day?
Copy !req
171. Who can feed their families
with so little?
Copy !req
172. Who has money for medicine?
Copy !req
173. We all know it's unfair,
Copy !req
174. but we know
it doesn't have to be this way.
Copy !req
175. A few exploiters take everything,
Copy !req
176. to satisfy their greed.
Copy !req
177. They did not make the sea,
the rivers or the fish
Copy !req
178. and they didn't make the canoes,
boats or nets either.
Copy !req
179. Nor did they make us.
Copy !req
180. They didn't give our arms
the strength with which to work
Copy !req
181. or anything else.
Copy !req
182. Why can't we exchange our fish
with those who breed cattle,
Copy !req
183. with those who harvest corn,
Copy !req
184. or with those who make fabric?
Copy !req
185. Who prevents this change?
Copy !req
186. Those with money have taken over
the boats, nets, transport.
Copy !req
187. They control everything,
and they pay us whatever they like.
Copy !req
188. We know what happens for eight months
of the year, when there is no fishing,
Copy !req
189. and when we can fish,
they take half for the boats and the nets.
Copy !req
190. The exploiters pay us six centavos a kilo,
Copy !req
191. and they pay the chief his share
plus two centavos per kilo.
Copy !req
192. They resell it for three centavos
with ice and for 12 in crates.
Copy !req
193. If it costs 26 centavos,
they sell it in Mexico City for 80.
Copy !req
194. Poor folk elsewhere can't eat fish
and we can't eat vegetables.
Copy !req
195. Poverty is not the law of nature,
nor is it God's law.
Copy !req
196. Bravo! Bravo!
Copy !req
197. The exploiters are strong
because they unite to exploit us.
Copy !req
198. They agree to pay us the same,
Copy !req
199. and they shackle us all
with the same chains.
Copy !req
200. Let's unite, as only then will we be
strong enough to protect ourselves.
Copy !req
201. Bravo! Bravo!
Copy !req
202. We ask only
for what is rightfully ours,
Copy !req
203. the fruit of our labor.
Copy !req
204. But we can't do it alone.
Copy !req
205. We only want to be paid
what is right.
Copy !req
206. If there is no work,
there's no fish.
Copy !req
207. Let's suffer together.
Let's stick together!
Copy !req
208. Friends, the battle begins tomorrow,
with the first catch!
Copy !req
209. Bravo! Bravo!
Copy !req
210. Fishermen! Fellow citizens!
Copy !req
211. I'm speaking to the sons
of this glorious state,
Copy !req
212. which upholds exemplary traditions
of value and glory,
Copy !req
213. to the honorable fishermen,
always conscious of their duty
Copy !req
214. and of their obligations as citizens
of a democratic republic.
Copy !req
215. To those who appreciate the value
of institutions and the power of a vote.
Copy !req
216. To those who do not heed
the words of the rebellious,
Copy !req
217. who are unaware of the majesty
of revolutionary conquest.
Copy !req
218. I invite you, my friends,
to consider the problems of this nation
Copy !req
219. and those of our dear town.
Copy !req
220. We must never forget this,
Copy !req
221. as this is the only way
Copy !req
222. we will be able
to reach a truthful conclusion,
Copy !req
223. a divine truth,
Copy !req
224. the only one we must seek,
Copy !req
225. the only light on life's dark path,
to aid us in judging our hesitations.
Copy !req
226. - What's wrong, Miro?
- So Mingo didn't say anything?
Copy !req
227. He said you were unwell.
Copy !req
228. Sure...
Copy !req
229. after he kicked me out this morning.
Copy !req
230. So now what, Mingo?
Copy !req
231. I received an order from Don Anselmo.
I have nothing to do with this.
Copy !req
232. Let's go weigh this fish.
Copy !req
233. So, are we in this together, or not?
Copy !req
234. Of course, we're still in this together.
Copy !req
235. In that case, come on.
Copy !req
236. Mingo?
Copy !req
237. What do you want?
Copy !req
238. The boys want good money.
Copy !req
239. And who asked you?
Copy !req
240. They did.
Copy !req
241. It makes no difference.
I don't put a price on the fish.
Copy !req
242. Then go and talk to Don Anselmo.
Copy !req
243. Tell him if he doesn't pay better,
we'll throw it in the river.
Copy !req
244. Here come the others.
Copy !req
245. We refuse to deliver the fish
until we get paid a better wage.
Copy !req
246. You should all do the same.
Copy !req
247. It would make no difference.
We won't get anywhere.
Copy !req
248. If we hold on together,
we can win this.
Copy !req
249. And what do we eat in the meantime?
Copy !req
250. Let's go, boys.
Copy !req
251. Don't give in!
Copy !req
252. Come here.
Copy !req
253. Let's go quickly.
Copy !req
254. Here come the soldiers.
Copy !req
255. It's nothing.
Copy !req
256. Let's bring him to the boat.
Copy !req
257. Why don't you search everyone here?
Copy !req
258. Shut your mouth!
Copy !req
259. They're not armed.
Copy !req
260. Nothing has happened to the fish.
Copy !req
261. These men are loyal.
The guilty ones have already run off.
Copy !req
262. In that case, I will find them.
Copy !req
263. This matter seems unimportant.
Copy !req
264. We'll investigate.
If you'll excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
265. - Please, go ahead.
- Many thanks, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
266. Don Anselmo said that
you protected the fish,
Copy !req
267. so you deserve the others' share.
Copy !req
268. Put it in here.
Copy !req
269. Come with me.
Copy !req
270. Mingo.
Copy !req
271. Where are you off to with the boat?
Copy !req
272. None of your business.
Copy !req
273. What do you want now?
Copy !req
274. Don't worry,
Copy !req
275. we're here for another reason.
Copy !req
276. I'm guessing it's not just to see us?
Copy !req
277. It's not just that.
Copy !req
278. Is there suddenly another reason?
Copy !req
279. Yes, there is.
We see things differently now.
Copy !req
280. When you left they paid us.
Copy !req
281. - I smell a rat.
- I don't think so.
Copy !req
282. Let him talk.
Copy !req
283. They paid us less than yesterday...
Copy !req
284. and they tried to buy us
with your half of the money.
Copy !req
285. We won't be bought
and we are not thieves.
Copy !req
286. Here is your money.
Copy !req
287. Money? That's all you care about.
Copy !req
288. Have you forgotten him?
Copy !req
289. - Dead?
- Yes, dead.
Copy !req
290. Because of your lack of unity.
Copy !req
291. No.
Copy !req
292. That's not it.
Copy !req
293. What happened today woke us up.
Copy !req
294. We must punish those who killed him.
Copy !req
295. We must follow what he showed us.
Copy !req
296. Let's follow his path all together!
Copy !req
297. We will achieve
what Miro wanted to achieve.
Copy !req
298. This is the beginning.
Copy !req
299. When we have the boats, ice and nets,
Copy !req
300. we will work for ourselves
and we will have won.
Copy !req
301. That's right. Let's go into town.
Copy !req
302. Let's show everyone
what oppression really is.
Copy !req
303. Let them join us.
Copy !req
304. THE END
Copy !req
