"I brought the ammunition without difficulty, sir." " A million cartridges?" " Yes, sir." "Hello." "One moment." "The War Ministry wants to speak to you, Colonel." "We asked to have sent over the firearms ammunition." "Nothing has arrived yet." "Has it been sent?" "We didn't send it because we need it here." "Do you realize that this is insubordination!" "In due respect I must say, and you know why, that I cannot hand over arms and ammunition to someone who will use it against Spain." " As you wish." "But you know that Toledo is only 70 km from Madrid." "If you persist, we'll come and get them!" "Do as you like, sir!" "Gentlemen, you have heard." "It was asked to hand the arms over to the enemies of spain." "I refused." "I think I acted on behalf of everyone here." "We are all with you." "Now we must be prepared for everything." "Madrid will send troops and planes against us." " We will resist!" "We'll oppose the first resistance at the entrance of Toledo." " The Tavera hospital." " Exactly." "The Tavera hospital towers above the street that gives access to the city." "You shall take over its defence." "Thank you." "But I can only give you a few men and a few arms." " That will do."

""Art. 2°:" "Everyone who is opposed to this order"" ""will be judged by a council of war."" "Who is it?" "It's me." "Open up!" "Hurry!" "Take everything that you can and come with me!" "Where?" " To the Alcazar." "We have prepared a state of siege." "The town is no longer safe." " My God!" "Don't be afraid." "But how can I take all my dresses with me?" "You won't need them." "It's just for a few days.." "What about auntie?" "She's ill!" "She will come with us." "Go on, do as I say!" " How are you feeling, aunt?" " Good." "It's a little damp." "And it's very crowded here." "Don't worry, ma'am." "It's just two or three days..." "I've brought you my spring mattress." "I hope you'll dream of me." "Why did they put us in these horrible cellars?" "Isn't there another place in all of Alcazar?" " Yes, but not as safe." " I'd prefer the danger." "How can I sleep in this crowd?" "Can't you find a screen for me?" "A screen?" "Yes, perhaps in the physics room." "Good, go fetch it." " It's the third errand you make me run!" "I hope it will be the last." "Some men would agree to walk around the world for me." " But they haven't done it!" " Smartass!" "Paolo!" "Can't you find me a softer pillow as well?" "This isn't a pillow." "It's a rock." "I'll have it stuffed with swansdown.." "3 guns for Revenga and 35 for Capitain Casale:" "And the automatic guns?" "10 for the defense of the Alcazar and 3 for the external defense." "Captain, I need your help." "What's wrong?" " I have been placed together with all the others." "Where do you want to be placed?" " I want some privacy..." "Privacy?" "This isn't a hotel." "Well, let's see." " Here it is." " And you're complaining!" "?" "You have been spoiled, miss!" "Sorry, but this spring mattress will have to go back." "What?" "You're taking it from me?" "They're few and should be reserved for the hospital." "So you want me to sleep on this dirty floor!" "Like anyone else, miss." "And you'll have to share your mattress with another woman." "That's the last straw!" "I'd never have come if I had known." "I'd have gone back to Madrid at any cost." "I don't think that would have been such a bad idea." "Here's the pillow!" "I haven't found a screen yet." " Did you bring this bed here?" " Yes, sir." " Bring it back where it came from." " Yes captain sir." " Villain!" " Not so willing to walk around the world for you!" "Halt!" "Juanita!" "Juanita!" "Pedro!" "Pedro!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Aunt!" "Carmen!" " Carmen!" " Conchita!" "Carmen!" "I'm afraid!" " They seem numerous." " About 4000." "And we're 60." "Good odds!" " But they won't pass." "Don't fire until they're close." " Good." " We don't have much ammunition." " Only make sure shots." " Understood." "Don't shoot." "Nobody fire." "Nobody fire." "Aliaga!" " Commander." " Relocate to the machine guns." "The first remains here, the second to the third window in the back." "Move this gun too!" "To the second window!" "I was wrong, try to cover on the left." "Fire!" "Impossible to advance, on the streets near the hospital." "We need to ask Madrid for larger artillery." " You ask them." " Yessir." "Won't be easy business." "The hospital has an exceptional strategic position and the defenders are fighting well." "They can't resist more than 24 hours." "The hospital isn't a fortress." "Its walls are not strong enough." " Hello." " How are things going, Villanova?" "Enemy pressure is very strong, but we carry on, sir." "If you give up, Toledo is lost." "Nobody is passing now and nobody will be passing." " Keep track of all." " Understood, Colonnel." "Armored cars!" " How many?" " I spotted three." "We must stop them!" "Quick!" "The hand granades!" "The air force!" "To the yard, quick!" "Hey, you!" "Call the others, have them come here right away!" "Hello?" "Major Villanova?" "One moment." "Villanova here, what is the situation like?" "They want to cut us off by their artillery fire." "We can't get sufficient food and ammunition." "The roads to Toledo are all under enemy fire." "But our morale is good and we'll resist." "I expected nothing less from you!" "I know you'll resist." "My regards to you all and may the luck be on your side." "The situation is bleak." "They can't resist much longer." "Hello?" "Colonnel, sir, it's the Chief of General Staff." " Hello!" " A moment." "General, sir." "Good evening, Colonnel." "Please listen attentively." "I am speaking to you as a friend, not as your chief." "I understand your attitude, but it will lead to a disaster." "You cannot resist..." "Surrender!" " No, we'll not surrender!" "It's for our and General Franco's Spain." "General Franco won't ever be able to join you!" "My advice is to surrender." "Nothing will happen to you, word of honor." "You were trained in this academy like me, have you forgotten what the honor of an officer is?" "We won't surrender." "We won't be the first to give the walls of Alcazar a sight of cowardice." " He won't surrender!" " He's mad." "Who's to decide who's mad?" "THE CIVIL HOSPITAL HAS FALLEN REBUBLICAN TROOPS HAVE ENTERED" "TOLEDO." "THE REBELS ARE ENTRENCHED INSIDE THE ALCAZAR" "You still believe they'll shell the Alcazar without hesitation?" "It won't be the respect for a monument of art that will make them hesitate." "They'll attack without mercy." "We must prepare as well as we can for a siege.." " Food supplies?" " Not good, Colonel." "Just enough for the children and the wounded." "And we are 2000 in here." "We are numerous, it's true." "125 officers." "1000 men of the Civil Guard, the troop and the Academy." " And 200 falangists and civilians." " A village in itself, Colonel." "Francisco!" " Will you be away much longer?" " Only a few minutes, wait for me." "I've never seen you so happy." "At a time like this!" "I know, nobody knows where it will end." "Still, help me God.." "I feel so happy." "You see, I want to live where he lives." "If you only knew what is to see him, talk to him every day." "You'll know, when you fall in love." " I've been in love often!" " But never in a serious way!" "That's different." "Real love changes everything." " One feels happy, confident.." " Nonsense!" "Love just means that one finds a man interesting, my dear." "That's what it meant to me up to now." " And it has changed?" " No." "However..." " However?" "Just a moment." " Hello, Captain." " Hello, miss." " Can I tell you something?" " Of course." "I know that you took part in the defense of the hospital." " It must have been terrible." " Yes, they made us move out." " You must have a bad opinion of me." " Me?" "Why?" "Because of what I said the other day!" "I am the lady who was looking for privacy." " Ah!" "I had forgotten." " Your opinion is so very important." "You're not like other people." "Oh, I'm just a soldier, sometimes a rude one." "Would you do me a favor?" "Help me become a nurse at the hospital!" " You?" "A nurse?" " I'm a trained nurse!" "No special merit." "A doctor interested me.." " Let's hope that's changed." " But I want to be a real nurse now." "This permanence makes you start to wonder." " I think so too." "The artillery is firing perfectly, General." "I'll report to Madrid." "Tell, me General, when can the infantry attack and finish off these rebels?" "For now we leave the action to the artillery, Deputy." "General, we got a phone call saying everything is ready." "Deputy, we're having a feast in your honor in Toledo." "Very good!" "If the guns continue to shoot, victory is imminent." " True." "These bishops had magnificent facilities." "I have chosen this Archdiocese as headquarters because I found everything in order." "I also left the sacred images on the walls, they're decorative!" "True." "My officer friends!" "You have accomplished a great task!" "Toledo, the cradle of Spanish civilization, has been freed." "The triumph is to be completed with the imminent conquest of the Alcazar!" "In this moment, the mighty voice of the cannons that has accompanied our dinner assures us that this last relic of infection will be shattered!" "I am alluding to those few, dominated by the madness of a traitor," "who have locked themselves inside the walls of Alcazar.." "hoping that our respect for a monument of art will save them." "We should, indeed, respect works of art" "Our general just gave us an example right here." "But faced with a human life, no work of art has value!" "Alcazar doesn't count." "If every work of art must disappear in order to crush the fascists.." "we will build another that will be much greater." "That of civilization, to which we toast!" " Good!" " Bravo!" "Incredible:" "Five hours of intense shelling and the Alcazar still stands." "Medieval walls were constructed thicker... than those made today." "I have to conclude that the artillery is impotent." "No, but it takes time and effort." "Perhaps we need more artillery." "You speak as if we had time to lose." "Do you realize that the proletariat needs a victory right now?" "We announced to the world that the capture of the Alcazar only was a question of time." "If the artillery can't do the job, send the infantry!" "Why wait?" "How can they pass without a breach?" "Deputy, if the artillery can't open breaches." "we cannot make the assaults." "What will I tell Madrid, then?" "And the press?" "What is it?" " Is that reliable news?" " Yessir." " Where did they catch him?" " In Toledo." " Have you told the chief of the militia?" " No sir." " Inform him right away." " Yes sir." "You can send a message to Madrid announcing that the Alcazar will be in our hands tonight." " What?" "The Alcazar is ours?" " Without a canon shot, without the loss of a single man!" " Three dead" " And six wounded." " Doctor!" " What is it?" "I'll be there right away." "Then Lieutenant Glauso, 3 guards, Fernandez, Rodriguez." "Good." "A soldier, Vincenzo Moreno, Antonio Suarez." "Any badly wounded?" " None." " Thanks, doctor." " Hello." " Hello." " Captain!" " Oh, is it you?" "I'm here thanks to your intervention." "If I had known sooner, I'd asked the doctor for you." "In order to know if I have done my duty?" "I have no doubts about that." " You look tired." "Take a rest!" " I'm not tired." " There's always lots to do." " Unfortunately." "Do you think this will go on much longer?" "They'll try everything to make us surrender." " But we will not!" " Your spirits are high!" " You're not scared of the bombs any more?" " Much less." "Soon I'll be like you." "I'm trying to follow your example when it comes to being courageous." "You seem another woman than the one I met some days ago." "I am." "I'm trying to forget the woman I was." "And I want you to do likewise." "The current and water have been cut." "Two bad blows." "We have water in the underground wells, but without current the radio's dead." "and we'll have to fight without news from the outside." " We can and will resist, Colonel." " Thank you, I know." "The Alcazar keeps on resisting." "Its walls and its defenders resist." "Even the women, after short fits of panic, stay calm." "God helping us, nothing shall make us give up." "Hello?" "It's for you, Colonel." "This is the commander of the republican militia." "occupying Toledo." "I demand the immediate surrender of the Alcazar" "I give you 10 minutes to surrender." "After 10 minutes, we'll shoot your son, who is in our hands." "You think me capable of such a thing!" "We'll let you talk to him." " Dad." " What goes on, son?" "They're going to shoot me if you don't surrender." "But don't you worry about me.." "If they do shoot you, die like a good Christian and a patriot." "Shout: "Long live Christ"" "and "Long live Spain!"" "I will, dad." " Good-bye, son of mine!" " Good-bye, dad." "5 of the 10 minutes are gone." "What is your choice?" "I make you a present of the remaining five." "Attention, attention, stop obeying your treacherous leaders!" "Pass on to our side!" "We won't shoot, but welcome you as brothers." "Surrender!" "For us at the Alcazar, the word "surrender" does not exist!" "Hey there!" "You at the defense, answer!" "Is Fernando Ramirez there?" "Answer!" "Hey, Fernando!" "They call you!" "Hey there!" "Answer!" "Tell him to come to the window so that his wife may talk to him!" " C'mon!" " Fernando!" "Fernando!" " Clara!" " Don't trust them!" " Clara, what's up?" "How are you?" " She greets you and is great!" "You have a beautiful wife, Fernando!" "Beast!" "Fernando!" "Fernando!" "Fernando!" "Each man to his place!" "Each man to his place!" "Bring the sand bags here!" "Take him to the infirmary." " Sister, I need this bandaged." " Go to the young lady over there." " Which one?" " That one over there." "Miss?" " Pedro!" " Carmen!" "What a surprise!" "You here as my nurse!" "I learned not to be surprised about anything anymore." " What happened?" " I'm hurt." "Can you wrap it up?" "Strange that we didn't meet yet." "I have been closed in here since the start." " Too tight?" " No, it is a splinter that hurts." "How did you get that?" "The blow from a tango." " A tango?" " Somebody outside sang out of tune this morning." "I wanted to teach him, and to thank me..." "Bang!" "But I can thank him now, because I got to see you." " You're still the same!" " How happy I am to have found you!" " Me too." " Remember our last dance in Madrid?" "You had a dress of pink tulle that enthralled me." "Your friend, the doctor, was there too." "He was very jealous," "Didn't leave you for a moment." " Not too tight?" " No, it's good." "But I would have done the same." "It was the evening of our first kiss." " Pedro, please..." " So what?" "Those are memories." "Captain, it's not as bad as it seems." " Thank goodness." "I heard that you are hurt." " A trifle." " Let's see the doctor." " Thanks, but it's nothing." "Go distribute these." "The Alcazar is finished!" "The Alcazar is finished!" "Last edition!" "Alcazar is finished!" "Last edition!" "Wait a minute!" "The Alcazar is finished!" "Last edition!" "The Alcazar is finished!" "Last edition!" "GENERAL NEWS" "Good, you made it quick, I'm hungry." " Today mule, not horse.." "It's a noble animal as well." "No, the difference between the two is that the horse neighs in the stomach, while the mule kicks!" "Bless you, for still being capable of joking." " Mom, bread, bread." " Here, here." "They're always hungry and they've cut rations again" "I do not care about the meat, but for the bread..." "For two days I and her father din't eat in order to give it to them." "If they cut them again what shall I give them?" "And what shall I give this creature?" "Since yesterday I have no milk." "The stores are all empty." "I have reduced the consumption of flour but when there's nothing left, there's nothing left." "What little remains of coffee and potatoes is reserved for the sick." "There are still mules and horses?" "Even that is decreasing." "Even if we proceeded to cut down on consumption, without the new support of food, it will only last a little while." " Conclusion?" " These are the facts." " Yes?" " If God doesn't help, we'll be starving." " I must speak to the Colonel." " He's busy, come again later." "I need to talk now!" "If he knew about the news I bring, he would surely meet me." " And what are these news?" "Bread!" " Bread?" " Yes, bread" "There is grain in the storehouses of the Agricultural Bank." "It is the grain that farmers gave as collateral for loans." "One of them is very near the Alcazar." "Do you realize the importance of what you are saying?" "If what you say isn't true.." " It's true, Colonel." "I saw them unloading it in the magazines.." "It may be that there's no more left, but I don't think so." "Very well." "Tonight, a patrol shall go there." " And you will guide them!" " Yes sir, Colonel." "If it's true, God has come to our rescue." " Nothing.." "Madrid, always Madrid." " But we should get a foreign station, the batteries are charged.." "Unless the problem is a plug." "Everything is in order." "Let's change to be sure." "Listen!" "Rascals!" "The little rascals!" "Continue to listen." " The Colonel?" " He'll be here soon." " What's happened?" " Very serious news." "If Madrid broadcasts the news, I shouldn't worry." "A lot of lies." "This too is a big lie." "But listen to what they said!" ""The Alcazar rebels have been arrested by government troops"" ""the officers and cadets have been disarmed and marched out."" ""The situation in Toledo is now completely calm."" "Here we are cut off from the rest of Spain." "If our troops, whom we can't inform, believe what Madrid says, they will not come to Toledo to liberate us." "We must tell them!" "I will ask the colonel to let me leave the Alcazar." "Radio Madrid has announced that the Alcazar has surrendered." " What?" " Look at the head of my note." "There are no limits to their lies." "May I go out of the Alcazar tonight sir, to spread the news to General Franco that we have not surrendered, but will continue fighting." "I want to go too, Colonel." "Thank you, but that's a one-man job." "The risk will be smaller and you'll be more likely to make it." "We need a man in good shape, who is intrepid and very familiar with the countryside." "In that case, I think I am most qualified, Colonel." " I think so too." " Thank you, Colonel." " Do you have a plan?" " The simplest there is:" "I'll take the cards and the red uniform of a prisoner." " Good." " You can go, all is quiet." " And the guards?" "How changed you look!" " I truly look like a militia." " You could make a career!" "Could you do me a favor, commandor..." "This ring..." "If I fail to come back" " What are you saying?" " Sure I'll get back, but you never know." "If we don't meet again, when you get out of here ..." "If we do!" "You are sure to get out." "Give this ring to my wife and tell her to say a prayer for me." " Good-bye." "See you soon!" " Break a leg!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Someone does not want to sleep." " Like you." " Right." "A night owl like me." "I never go to bed before dawn." "And sometimes I even go out to work when the sun rises." "Say, did you ever fallen in love.." "afterwards...?" " Afterwards?" "After having finished with a girl." " No, that's surely not pleasant." " You realize too late that you've been a fool and understood nothing." " And what you've lost.." " Whom are you speaking of?" "Nobody." "I can't sleep." " Thinking of him?" " Why has he changed?" "We used to meet, we talked.." " He's very busy." " I know." "Still, he always made a quick visit to the hospital." "Don't fool yourself, he came on duty, not for you." "Did he ever say something else?" "No, nothing." "No, but I felt that he came because I was there." "That can't be explained." "I'll explain:" "You're really in love!" "And I thought you were never serious; incapable of love." "Less serious than you could imagine." "I had not ever realized, but in here I understand." "Let's hope that he'll come back tomorrow." " Why, where is he?" " You don't know?" " Francisco didn't tell you?" " No." "What happened?" "Vela ordered an excursion tonight." "The cadets accompanied him." "Francisco was with them, I heard it at the hospital." "Dear God!" "What for?" "They are trying to get some grain." "Holy Virgin!" "Protect them!" "Quick!" "You tied the rope?" " Yes." " Go!" "Guys!" "There's grain!" "Grain!" "Guys!" "Tomorrow we'll be eating!" "Fill the sacs!" "Hi fellas!" "Going to Talavera de la Reina?" " No, to Torrico." " Same for me." "Can I join?" "Sure." " What are you doing in Talavera?" " I'm off to see my girl." " You're on leave?" " Yes, for 10 days." "Lucky you." "That Alcazar keeps us busy." "We take care of the shells for the artillery." "Two trips a day!" "Perhaps more now." "Because they'll also shell at night." " At night?" "How?" " By using searchlights." "I saw them put them up on the houses around Alcazar." " So the shelling won't stop." " I already stopped sleeping." "What we need is more artillery." "Artillery?" "if I could decide, I would do it more effectively!" "Some poison gas and the Alcazar would go down, both men and mice." "Wonder if we'll do that some day." "Why not now?" "We should reconnect the Alcazar's water pipes." "They would be able to drink again." "But with poisoned water, the drinker croaks!" "And that way the "liberation" would come true!" "Giovanni, a drink for a militiaman on leave!" " How are you, Captain?" " Are you talking to me?" " Yes, to you!" "how are you?" " Are you making a joke, friend?" " I'm not a captain." " You don't remember me?" " This is the first time I see you." " Just a moment." "Even if you don't remember me, I remember you." " You're Captain Vincenzo Alba." " Captain just like you are a general." "My name is José Fernández, look at my papers." "Papers, schmapers!" "You're Captain Alba..." "I recognize you well." "And you remember me." "I was a recruit in your company." "In the 7th infantry regiment in Madrid." "You don't know what you're saying, nutcase!" "Tell the truth!" "Friends, this isn't a militiaman, but a spy!" "If you have any last wishes, you're free to express them." "Between old comrades in arms.." "Well then..." "Bon voyage." "Get ready!" "Fire!" "Those guns make a lot of noise!" "We used to be able to listen in at night." "But now not even that is possible anymore." "But I ought to succeed sometime!" " I wish it were over." " Don't be afraid, calm down." " Everything will be fine." " Hope so... hope so..." "Raffaele!" " Raffaele, it's a boy!" " A boy!" "Yes, a boy!" " Handsome?" " Very." "Where is he?" "I want to see him." "The mother wants to see the boy." "Bring him over here." "Maria, look." "How cute he is!" "We'll call him Salvatore, that will bring good luck, right?" "A pencil!" "I've got a foreign station." "Italy!" "Radio Milano, finally!" "Write down!" ""The campaign of the national forces in Spain proceeds successfully."" ""The army of the south has taken Badajoz,"" ""Troops under Colonel Yage"" ""are marching towards Toledo!"" "Our troops!" "Advancing!" "General Franco marches for Toledo, we heard it on the radio!" "Our guys are marching for Toledo!" "Our guys are marching for Toledo!"

"No doubt." "You can assure the Minister that" "I'm sure of the result." "Alright." "We'll speed up." "Bye." "They're losing patience in Madrid by the day, they think that taking Alcazar is indispensable to winning the war." "Naturally, because the others are advancing." "If not stopped, they will be here in 10 days." "They'll never get here in time." "It will be over by then." "To think that inside.." "I feel bad about the women and children." " There're there!" " No." "There're there!" " There is a noise." " Where?" "In here!" " There's a noise in the wall." " Where?" "In here." "What's everybody doing at the wall?" "There's a noise!" "Where?" "In here." " There really is a noise!" " A noise?" " What is it?" " A noise." " A strange noise." " What can it be?" "The stones are shaking." "It's a continual noise, as from a machine." "Excuse me!" " You can hear the noise there." " Silence please." " What is it?" " Nothing." " What is happening?" " It's a mine." "Two mines." "At two different points." "There's no doubt, Colonel." "The noise comes from the drilling." "They resort to dynamite because they can't capture with guns." " Killing women and children!" " They're not soldiers, but murderers!" " Cowards!" " Scoundrels!" "Gentlemen, calm down." " Where can the noise be heard?" " In the south-west dungeon." "The tunnels of the mines start in the houses near here." "I cannot say exactly but I think they run in this direction." "This is the enclosure of Alcazar." "Here is the south-west dunjon." "The mines ought to go from this point and by going through here arrive at these two points." " Is the danger imminent?" " Not yet." "The noise is far off" "The tunnels aren't finished yet." "It will take 4 or 5 more days for them to finish." "And to think that our aid is perhaps 10 days away!" "Can you tell me where they start?" "Not more than 100 meters from here I think." "When will you know where the start for the two mines are?" " I can tell you tonight, Colonel." " Good." "As head of the citizens," "Clear out the houses next to the mine." "Transfer the women and the children to the North-East cellars." "Arrange for a platoon of volunteers to destroy the entrances of the tunnels." " Auntie sleeps." " She's worn out." "Poor thing, all this pressure at her age." " You have water?" " Yes." " Give me some." " What for?" " I want to wash my face." " There will be less to drink." "I prefer being thirsty to feeling dirty." "Well, seen him?" "No." " What are you waiting for?" " I'm afraid of what he might answer." "I wouldn't know how to start and I'm afraid of what he might say." "I'm intimidated and can't act." "What?" "You afraid of a man?" "Seem strange, right?" "I who laughed at those things." "It was easy when nothing made me feel like that." " And now!" " There will be plenty of time if we survive." " And if we die instead..." " Have you lost all hope?" "God could not allow the death of so many innocent people." "We'll be saved." "Francisco also said that we shall be saved." "Francesco and I are going to marry when we get out." "When Francesco is an officer we'll live in Madrid." "Think about it:" "Madrid!" " Madrid!" "What's become of everyone I knew there?" "Don't worry, I'm sure they're doing fine." "I hope so." " What's the time?" " I must be around ten." " It's late, I must go." " Bye." "Hello." "Hello, Pedro." " I'd like to speak with you." " I'm late." "Just 5 minutes, please." "Don't say no." "Will you marry me?" " Don't you feel well?" " I feel fine." " Will you?" " Now, at death's door?" "Arm in arm with you I'll be more welcome in Heaven." " Answer:" "Will you marry me or not?" " We marry?" "Why not?" "What's wrong?" "So many people marry!" "Now that Spain needs new Spaniards... marriage is an act of patriotism!" "Can't you be serious for a moment?" "You wouldn't believe me." "If I told you that this climate has changed me, that I'm not the man I was... that if I can get out alive from these glorious walls" "I will remain changed for life would you believe me then?" "I'd believe you." "I believe you now." " So let's marry." " No, Pedro, marriage would be nonsense." "We avoided it a year ago when I wanted to and you didn't, and this time we'll avoid it too." "What's his name?" "Who?" "I know you." "If you speak like that, it's because you love someone else." " It's Captain Vela, right?" " Yes." " You like him a lot?" " I love him." "I got to know him here." "I started to love him here." "Perhaps I'll leave here without having spoken to him and told how much I love him." " You say this with bitterness." " With regret, Pedro." "Just one day of happiness is all I wanted." " Nobody's missing?" " No, Captaino." " How many are we?" " 40." " Does everyone have a hand grenade?" " Yes, Captain." "Good." "Don't let them see my arm." "Attention!" " Rest still." " Rest still!" "Our fate depends on the success of your action." "Franco's troops are in the Toledo province." "You go to destroy the entrances of the mines to retard their explosion and to permit our advancing troops to liberate us." "Good luck!" " Can we take off, Colonel sir?" " Yes." " Go on, Vela!" "Go on, boys!" "With 5 men, there!" " Where did they get you?" " In my belly." "Go on!" " Now I'll turn back." " One moment, Captain." " I need to speak to you." " Quick, what is it?" "I can't breathe." "Thank you." " Carmen, you know..." " Who?" "Carmen Herrera?" "Give my greetings to Carmen." "She loves you." "I tell you, because she never will." "Marry her." "That's good advice." "The best" "I ever gave in my life." "Captain!" "A very serious abdominal wound." "First sortie for the mine." "Perforated lung, serious business." "Third sortie for the mine." "Useless sacrifices..." " The mine's still there." " We had to try." " Yes... we did our best but there's nothing we can do now." "Attention, Alcazar!" "Will you receive our representative?" "Colonel, the enemy is sending a representative." "I repeat:" "Alcazar!" "Once more." "Will you receive our representative?" "to negotiate with the Alcazar Command?" " Tell them to send him over." " A megaphone!" " What time?" " Tomorrow, from 9:00 to 10:00, second regulation." "Yes sir." "The Colonel will receive your representative..." "Tomorrow, from 9:00 to 10:00," "Hostilities are to be suspended during this hour." "Answer!" "Agreed." "Our representative will show at the Cappuccini Place between 9:00 and 10:00." "Hostilities will be suspended during this hour." "Remove the band." " Colonel, sir..." " Be seated." "I should like these two officers to be present in our conversation if you permit." "I'll allow it." "What's your mission?" "By the authority of this paper I have the authority to discuss conditions of surrender." "Cigaret?" " Long time since you had one?" " Some time, yes." "Keep them, we have plenty." "Why not surrender?" "Resistance is suicide." "We don't agree." "It's not our job to discuss these matters." "The Colonel is discussing this with your superior right now." "These are issues they'll decide on." "This window is finally an ordinary window again!" "You can watch freely:" "Look at the sky, the fields." "Breathe the fresh air without fear." "Too beautiful to be true." "Even the silence seems true." "To think that in an hour hell will start again." "Once out of here and I'll be married to Conchita..." "We'll rent that cottage." "On the Tago." "Do you see it?" " You're not going to Madrid?" " When I'm an officer." "In the meantime I'll stay here." "For the moment 3 rooms will do, as long as there are no children." "for me and Conchita it will be more than enough." "Francisco!" "Damn!" "They don't even respect the truce!" " I refuse!" "Here's the answer." " Is that definite?" "Yessir." "Sorry, now we'll be forced to use all means." "I know, the mine." "Tell everybody.." "that we prefer the Alcazar to become a cemetery rather than a pigsty." " And the women and children?" " If they should get out... will they be allowed to go?" " They will be freed immediately." "Can you give me your word of honor that no retaliation will be exerted on them?" "That they will not be used?" "Let me know, without going into painful details, if they will be used as elements for further persuation?" "Then my mission is ended." "Ended indeed." "May I shake your hand, sir?" "Tell me one thing." "If you have a priest sentenced to death, send him!" "We'll need him." "I promise to do my best to grant your wish." "I hope that mine will explode at night, so I won't notice it, how about you?" " Always this mine, it's an obsession!" " Don't you think about it?" " Yes, but I don't rave on about it." "Mom, it is true that when we get home you will buy me a gun?" " Yes, son." " And a box of soldiers?" " Yes, love." " A doll for me, mom." " Yes." " Mom, when are we going home?" "Soon." "The baby we were hoping for is here." "And now" " And now?" "A miracle will happen." "I'm sure of it." "You say it, but you don't believe it." "He woke up." "How do you feel?" "No change." "He can't speak." "Tell me the truth, what did the doctor say?" "No, I don't want to know." "I know it's serious." " But there's hope, right?" " Certainly!" "Relax." " Still serious?" " A matter of hours." " His girl doesn't know?" " She doesn't want to." "She looks after him as if she is begging him not to die, poor thing." " Francisco was her whole life." " Yes." "When your whole existence is centered on one person, losing him is.." "You have to have lived it in order to understand." "You speak as if you'll lose someone dear." " Yes, I'm afraid of losing you." " Me?" "Why do you say that?" "Because I love you." "Vela, I beseech you... you have no idea what it means for me to hear you say this." "It's true, Carmen." "I love you." "And I would like to devote the life that rests to live to declare it." "How I've waited to hear those words!" "Now I feel that everything I did here every pain that I felt, all I could do in here, made me earn this moment." "No, it will be more than a moment." "Death may be near, but a miracle may still happen." " May God hear you." " God will hear me." "Calling Alcazar!" "The priest you asked for is coming over." "Thanks you, father, for having come to bring us comfort in this moment." "I fulfill my ministry with the entire Christian faith... even under these lay clothes." "You will find the priestly vestments here." "I have come to you to speak the word of God." "They are needed in these supreme moments of preparation before your soul is to be handed over to him." "He opens his arms, and in his divine goodness, he absolves all your sins as you have forgiven the sins of others." "In this concluding and heroic moment of your life, turn away from earthly things and raise your spirit to the eternal truth." "That of God." "The short time accorded to me prevents me from listening to your individual confessions." "I invite you to pronounce an act of contrition to prepare your souls for the acquittal." "Repeat after me:" "My Lord, Jesus Christ." "Given the extraordinary circumstances in which we find ourselves, I will absolve you collectively." "For the repentance of your sins:" "Ego vos absolvo a peccatis vostris, in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen." "Colonel, where are the most heavily injured?" "The last 6 beds to the left." "He want to marry in extremis." "With who?" "With me." "What is your name?" "Conchita." "And his?" "Francisco." "Conchita, do you want to marry Francesco?" " Yes." "Francesco, do you want to marry Conchita?" "Ego vos in matrimonio coniungo." "ln nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, amen." "Tomorrow morning we'll proceed to take the Alcazar." "At six the mine will be blown up." "Toledo will be immediately evacuated and at 6.25 the troops will begin the assault." " Long live the Republic!" " Long live!" "Calling Alcazar!" "It's your last chance to surrender." "Tomorrow morning we will blow you up!" "Answer!" "Answer!" "Excuse me." "Come here!" "Here you can see very well." "There it is, the Alcazar!" "It is time to put out these poor deluded." "1/60 aperture and no talking." "Put cotton in your ears, too." "You'll understand!" "It is to shield yourself from the noise of 600 tons of dynamite!" "Not 600, 6 tons of dynamite!" " Do we have to wait for long?" " No." " One minute." " Here we are, then." "Now!" "Go!" " Now?" " No, wait!" "Now!" "Step inside and fight back!" "Come here!" "The ladder, quick!" "Amid the smoking ruins, the surviving defenders continue to fight." "It seems like all women and children are buried under the rubble." "The resistance of the Alcazar is mira- culous." "The fortress will not yield." "After 5 days of violent assaults, the situation remains unchanged." "Can they free the defenders of the Alcazar?" "Another one gone." " One by one they all run out." " The tanks are coming back!" "They're too strong." "It's too much for us to fight." "68 days of siege." "Our troops so near, and all this in vain." "By God, don't let them take us alive!" " Get some more bandages." " Right away." " How will this end?" " Only God can save us." " Not even God!" " Don't blaspheme, God will save us." "Everything here is a miracle." " The mine would have been enough." " You still have faith!" " And yet you lost Franceso." " I didn't lose him, he's in me." "I won't let anyone break me." "He gives me that faith." "He and all the others cannot have died in vain." "Their battery are veering about, sir." " Are you sure?" " Yes sir, I saw it myself." "The reds are moving away, our troops are coming!"
