00:01:12 It's the Boxer.
00:01:24 He's dead alright.
00:03:04 Pull over!
00:04:18 - Can I get in?
00:04:21 - No room?
00:04:29 Climb up here.
00:04:34 I'll stay here, thanks.
00:05:40 Driver.
00:05:41 Papers.
00:05:48 - Where are you going?
00:05:50 Where is your home?
00:05:52 The coffee plantation further down,
00:05:55 There used to be a roadblock here.
00:05:59 Yes, I think I did once.
00:06:02 - How much?
00:06:06 To those thugs?
00:06:07 No wonder they act above the law!
00:06:10 I had to get through. Everyone pays.
00:06:14 That's what breeds corruption.
00:06:17 Because of people like you,
00:06:39 Can I sit down, sir?
00:08:53 To those ensconced
00:08:56 Wake up.
00:09:00 Herbs that tone your muscles...
00:09:07 and render you
00:09:09 invisible
00:09:11 and invulnerable.
00:09:31 Madame Vial!
00:09:35 This is your last warning!
00:09:38 You have to leave immediately!
00:09:53 Madame Vial!
00:09:55 The French army is pulling out!
00:09:58 You'll be totally cut off!
00:10:02 Think it over, Madame Vial!
00:10:04 Think of your family!
00:10:11 We're pulling out!
00:10:22 You must leave immediately!
00:11:12 SURVIVAL KIT
00:11:16 These whites, these dirty whites.
00:11:20 They scorn us.
00:11:22 We risk our lives for them!
00:11:24 They're a bunch of upstarts!
00:11:27 Pretentious, arrogant, ignorant.
00:11:31 They don't deserve
00:11:34 They can't even appreciate it!
00:13:26 GOD DOESN'T GIVE UP
00:16:44 What are you doing?
00:16:48 - Where are you going?
00:16:51 You can't leave. We just started!
00:16:54 Let's go back.
00:16:55 You know it too! You can't stay.
00:17:00 Just listen!
00:17:01 I just need one week.
00:17:05 Five days is nothing.
00:17:09 Your foremen...
00:17:11 Ange and Maurice? I doubt it.
00:17:13 They are! And so are we!
00:17:16 This is getting bad.
00:17:17 Let's go!
00:17:23 Hold on!
00:17:27 Stay here. Why are you leaving?
00:17:30 Suffering and war everywhere!
00:17:33 - One week! Just one week!
00:17:55 Ange!
00:19:03 You can't go, Maurice.
00:19:07 We need a week. You saw the crops.
00:19:10 One week at the most!
00:19:14 One short week.
00:19:16 All of a sudden you can't stay?
00:19:21 It may be less dangerous...
00:19:27 We don't have to be terrorized.
00:19:31 That copter didn't come for fun.
00:19:33 It came for you and your family.
00:19:40 André is right.
00:19:41 Coffee's coffee.
00:19:48 Where are your kids?
00:19:50 Out of harm's way.
00:19:53 Out of harm's way! Open your eyes!
00:19:55 You have a son.
00:19:57 Get him out of bed!
00:19:59 Let him go pick!
00:20:00 You have no right to criticize Manuel!
00:20:03 Get lost! Never come back again!
00:20:06 Never! You hear me, Maurice?
00:20:21 André?
00:20:30 André isn't here.
00:20:40 André, André...
00:23:35 I knew it.
00:23:38 Not you, not the Boxer!
00:24:02 I used to say...
00:24:04 if ever I could meet the Boxer
00:24:07 and fight for him...
00:24:10 I'd ask God for nothing else.
00:24:43 Where is it from?
00:24:46 - Where?
00:24:52 It's just white material.
00:25:14 Get up, Manuel, please. I need you.
00:26:04 Who's there?
00:26:18 What are you doing here?
00:26:20 Waiting for my uncle.
00:26:26 - Are you Jean-Marie's nephew?
00:26:31 Does he know you're here?
00:26:34 He'll be glad to see me.
00:26:42 Are you thirsty?
00:26:45 You want something to eat?
00:27:27 Lucie!
00:27:31 - Where are you going?
00:27:34 I'll go. I need to hire workers.
00:27:37 I'll get José after.
00:27:39 - You don't get it!
00:27:45 - You take it.
00:27:51 Who opened the safe?
00:27:52 Why do you ask?
00:27:54 Look, it's a mess inside.
00:27:59 Ask André instead.
00:28:02 I don't have the keys.
00:29:41 Okay, man!
00:29:45 Leaving?
00:29:47 Just for the village.
00:29:49 It'll be 1 00 dollars.
00:29:51 You're my son's gym teacher.
00:29:53 I'm Maria Vial.
00:29:55 Never saw you. It's 1 00.
00:29:59 Cut it out. It's 1 0 if I go,
00:30:02 You know who I am.
00:30:10 I know all of you.
00:30:12 Peter Nembo, François-Joseph.
00:30:15 Your father sells seeds.
00:30:16 Why mention his father?
00:30:18 You pay and you go.
00:30:21 If she doesn't pay,
00:30:22 I'll waste her!
00:30:51 Hello, Bernard.
00:30:54 Hello, Christine.
00:30:56 That's serious protection!
00:30:59 I'm not so sure...
00:31:07 Mr. Vial's medicine.
00:31:11 Except for the oxygen.
00:31:13 André will pick it up later.
00:31:15 Got a pen?
00:31:17 We prefer cash now. Dollars.
00:31:21 I see...
00:31:28 Take this.
00:31:31 Can you break these bills for me?
00:31:38 Many things are to be found
00:31:44 But go about it gently.
00:31:47 Everyone is entitled his share.
00:31:49 And don't ever forget...
00:31:52 what fate has in store for us,
00:31:56 no one can take away.
00:31:58 You should leave.
00:32:00 Beware of imposters,
00:32:04 As for the white material,
00:32:09 No more cocktails on shaded verandas
00:32:11 while we sweat water and blood.
00:32:16 They're deserting.
00:32:18 They're right to run scared.
00:32:21 Our rulers are already trembling,
00:32:24 their valises filled
00:32:28 while you were starving.
00:32:51 Hello. Is your Daddy here?
00:32:53 Daddy's not home.
00:32:56 Goodbye.
00:33:20 THE MAYOR KEEPS HIS WORD
00:33:39 She'll be stunned
00:33:44 You're betraying her.
00:33:49 I'm protecting her from herself.
00:33:53 We no longer turn a profit.
00:33:56 No use getting massacred
00:33:59 The plantation isn't worth a thing.
00:34:05 I'm glad to hear
00:34:08 I keep you alive.
00:34:10 Without me,
00:34:15 Come on, don't overdo it!
00:34:27 André...
00:34:29 It's falling apart. Beyond hope.
00:34:33 In six months it'll be raining inside.
00:34:36 It was already too late
00:34:40 That's when you should have left.
00:34:44 At least with your wife and José.
00:34:47 It's a nice piece of land.
00:34:50 But still...
00:34:51 If I add up everything you owe me,
00:34:54 I should, first of all,
00:34:58 And second,
00:35:00 kick you out.
00:35:04 And you'd still owe me
00:35:14 Enough...
00:35:17 Get your father's signature.
00:35:26 Have your Fanta.
00:35:29 This is my Fanta.
00:35:33 Is this what you want?
00:35:41 These are my men.
00:35:44 They can take you to the frontier.
00:35:47 Pay them cash. Keep it between us.
00:35:51 Got any gas left?
00:35:54 Yeah, a little.
00:36:05 Where do they come from?
00:36:09 My personal militia.
00:36:12 Your personal militia...
00:36:17 Is that how you intend
00:36:22 - Everyone here?
00:36:24 - Anything to say?
00:36:26 - What is it?
00:37:37 I have work to be done,
00:37:41 Do you have any men?
00:37:43 To come and work at my place.
00:37:47 Wait here.
00:37:53 Wait.
00:38:40 So it's half up front,
00:38:43 the other half after.
00:38:45 Three meals a day... and cola nuts.
00:39:29 It's quiet. We've never had trouble.
00:39:34 Shall we go?
00:39:39 TAKE DOWN THE BOXER!
00:39:45 Why "take down"?
00:39:47 They say they killed him.
00:39:50 Now it will get even worse.
00:40:38 STAND FIRM
00:41:15 Start running, now.
00:41:17 Things are getting dangerous.
00:41:19 Get going now. It's bad.
00:41:22 We can't get caught between
00:41:27 How can he judge the danger?
00:41:30 If we start believing the radio...
00:41:34 After this job,
00:41:42 My daughter is sick.
00:41:45 She's too young.
00:41:46 No choice but to stay.
00:41:50 What's wrong with her?
00:41:53 I don't know. She's in bed.
00:41:59 Did you try the clinic?
00:42:03 It's too late now.
00:42:17 I need to pick someone up.
00:42:40 Are you his mother?
00:42:43 - His stepmother?
00:42:47 You have to tell me who you are.
00:42:49 I'm his father's ex-wife.
00:42:54 Listen, I'm in a rush.
00:42:59 Go yourself.
00:43:00 I should go?
00:43:02 Thank you!
00:43:08 José, I'm taking you home.
00:43:11 José, gather your belongings.
00:43:17 José, hurry up!
00:43:29 Soon it will be empty here.
00:43:31 - Have many kids left already?
00:43:38 Your mother wants you at home.
00:43:40 School's of no interest.
00:43:44 I don't know, José. I really don't.
00:43:48 I just hired some workers.
00:43:49 They're in the truck.
00:43:52 Will you help out too?
00:43:54 No problem.
00:43:58 No problem...
00:44:00 With you there's never any problem.
00:44:03 You make it all seem easy.
00:44:11 Why are you here?
00:44:12 I came to pick up José.
00:44:14 I didn't know you'd be here.
00:44:17 You had to hire workers...
00:44:19 Everyone left, even Ange and Maurice.
00:44:22 I found the gate open.
00:44:24 Ange and Maurice are gone? Damn...
00:44:28 You don't seem upset.
00:44:46 Lucie said you could get gas.
00:44:49 That's right.
00:44:56 Your son?
00:44:58 Not him, but I have a son too.
00:45:34 Are you the boss?
00:45:36 Yes, I mean...
00:45:39 In a way.
00:45:41 Nothing's mine but I'm in charge.
00:45:44 When it's not yours...
00:46:33 You scared me.
00:46:37 I thought I'd die last night.
00:46:39 Don't say that.
00:46:43 Tomorrow we'll put you in
00:46:46 It's air-conditioned.
00:46:49 Maria...
00:46:51 I was born here.
00:46:54 That old place of yours
00:46:57 It's where I feel best.
00:47:01 The plantation is yours.
00:47:03 It's all yours.
00:47:53 See, I didn't need it.
00:47:55 Did Manuel come and help?
00:47:57 Your Manuel? He's a good kid.
00:47:59 A little sluggish.
00:48:01 A lousy picker.
00:48:02 Ripe or unripe, he doesn't care.
00:48:06 Don't badmouth my son,
00:48:11 I don't mention yours.
00:48:14 Mine is a different story.
00:49:02 Manuel, get up.
00:49:06 - Get up!
00:49:08 Watch your mouth!
00:49:11 I don't know what to do.
00:49:16 School's closed anyway.
00:49:18 Nothing interests you.
00:49:21 We can't even talk.
00:49:23 It's like we don't exist.
00:49:25 No need to talk.
00:49:28 I'll send you to France.
00:49:33 Move it, Manuel! Get up!
00:49:38 I don't know what happened.
00:49:41 I can't believe you're my son!
00:49:43 I feel like a total failure.
00:49:46 If I met a woman with a son like you,
00:49:50 "Lousy upbringing. Such a waste."
00:49:55 Okay, I'm coming.
00:49:59 I'll get dressed. Where's the fire?
00:50:01 Losing a crop is worse than a fire.
00:50:05 Letting yourself go, Manuel,
00:50:07 is the vilest thing a boy can do.
00:50:12 Come on, get up!
00:50:13 Okay, I'm coming.
00:50:15 I'm coming!
00:51:08 Why did you scream?
00:51:10 I thought I saw something.
00:51:27 It'll be fine, my son.
00:51:29 It'll be fine.
00:51:38 Listen up, rascals,
00:51:41 Listen to my words.
00:51:45 Fearless young rascals...
00:51:48 The Boxer is back.
00:51:54 Go find him.
00:51:57 Get out there and find him.
00:52:46 Go on, Manuel. Get dressed.
00:52:53 We need to crack down. He's inert.
00:52:56 School's out of the question now.
00:52:58 They're all closed, and for good.
00:53:01 - You know what I just saw?
00:53:02 Two kids with a machete
00:53:07 I'll tell Jean-Marie tonight.
00:53:10 Where is Jean-Marie?
00:53:11 Anyway, I'm sure he hasn't left.
00:53:17 Help me down.
00:53:20 Those two kids...
00:53:25 - I thought they'd...
00:53:27 I don't know. Attack Manuel.
00:53:32 I'm going.
00:53:37 We won't even be able
00:53:41 You're becoming defeatist.
00:53:43 If we harvest it,
00:53:46 What if we all went back to France?
00:53:49 Why did you see the mayor?
00:53:52 He formed a militia!
00:53:54 I asked him for protection!
00:53:56 Why not tell me?
00:53:57 Tell me these things first!
00:53:59 And you can't take money
00:54:58 Yellow dog.
00:58:51 Manuel? Manuel!
00:58:55 It came from here. Follow me!
00:59:19 Look.
00:59:21 We never check here.
00:59:30 There are footprints, right there.
00:59:34 Left by kids...
00:59:37 It must be young shepherds...
00:59:40 who wanted to...
00:59:43 run off with a sheep.
00:59:52 Armed young shepherds.
01:00:02 It's nothing. I hurt my foot.
01:00:04 Show me.
01:00:07 Ride on the tractor with me.
01:00:08 We'll get the trailer.
01:00:11 We'll manage. It's nothing.
01:00:17 Climb up.
01:00:25 Don't stand there, José.
01:00:31 What did you do to your hair?
01:01:15 He says happiness
01:01:21 I have nowhere to go.
01:01:26 You're my son.
01:01:31 You know I won't let you go.
01:01:51 Manuel?
01:02:36 From Sylvie S., for her parents
01:02:42 "Leaving devil's lair.
01:03:20 From François and Vincent M.
01:03:26 "We'll pry you from their dirty grip.
01:03:30 "Get ready. We're on our way. "
01:05:30 Drop the rifle.
01:05:34 Drop it!
01:05:36 You're crazy!
01:05:38 Go away! Beat it, filthy dog!
01:05:40 This isn't your home.
01:05:46 Get lost, little shit!
01:05:50 Get lost.
01:05:57 You're sick!
01:06:04 The patriots will kill you all!
01:06:07 All of you!
01:06:29 Shut it off when it's full.
01:07:59 Is Manuel back?
01:08:00 Yes.
01:08:03 What are you hiding?
01:08:07 Let go!
01:08:18 You're insane!
01:08:20 Totally insane!
01:08:23 Know what this means?
01:08:24 Do you have any idea?
01:08:29 We'll all die.
01:08:52 Push it all to the centre.
01:08:55 Keep them out from the corners.
01:11:32 Not a good sign.
01:11:35 We often have power-outs.
01:11:41 This always gets stuck.
01:11:51 You crank this...
01:11:52 Don't worry, I'll manage.
01:12:01 There's not much gas left.
01:12:04 We know everyone here.
01:12:09 We've been rooted here for years.
01:12:11 Here we go...
01:13:47 They're dangerous, very dangerous,
01:13:53 I saw the army of child soldiers.
01:13:55 Notjust boys, girls as well.
01:13:58 They're orphans.
01:14:01 Some have walked 150 kilometres
01:14:04 in search of the Boxer.
01:14:07 Why did you lie to me? Why?
01:14:10 Manuel never came home.
01:14:14 He did something awful.
01:14:16 He hurt Elisabeth.
01:14:18 Did she say that?
01:14:20 What a liar!
01:14:22 She ran off.
01:14:23 She's not a liar.
01:14:25 He took my rifle. He's gone mad.
01:14:27 Shut up! I won't discuss my son
01:14:31 The wires were cut!
01:14:35 So I'm keeping the gas
01:14:38 To leave.
01:14:40 Cherif will help us.
01:14:42 In exchange for what?
01:14:46 He's our friend.
01:15:07 Manuel?
01:15:24 There's everything you need.
01:15:28 You can cook. There are beds...
01:15:31 You'll be safe here.
01:15:34 That's for us to decide.
01:15:36 Here's the flashlight.
01:15:40 See you tomorrow.
01:15:44 There's the water pump.
01:15:48 Okay?
01:16:09 We have lots of old bones here.
01:16:14 - You won't abandon me?
01:16:21 Sign here.
01:16:24 And here.
01:16:27 And the money?
01:16:30 What money?
01:16:35 Who's paying?
01:16:42 Cherif's very smart, you know.
01:16:45 Smarter than you.
01:17:13 You okay, Jean-Marie? All well?
01:17:16 Fine.
01:17:20 Good to hear it.
01:17:28 You won't leave?
01:17:34 I'm too old to start all over.
01:17:39 I couldn't get used
01:17:44 For you, it's not the same thing.
01:17:48 Not at all.
01:17:49 You don't want anyone
01:17:56 Maybe you're right.
01:17:59 - I cooked some rice.
01:18:05 Shall I turn on the generator?
01:18:09 We need gasoline.
01:18:15 I saw a relative of yours today.
01:18:25 He needs some time.
01:18:36 Have you seen Manuel around?
01:18:49 Okay, I'm going.
01:20:08 Your son...
01:20:10 I can see he's changed.
01:20:15 It's hard to get through to him.
01:20:20 He's grown up.
01:20:23 It's not just that.
01:20:27 His mind runs all over the place.
01:20:33 He's become a dog.
01:20:38 Insane?
01:20:50 He's half-baked.
01:20:54 He's unfinished.
01:21:07 Half-baked...
01:21:16 Manuel?
01:21:19 You're here?
01:21:21 You're wounded.
01:21:26 What can we do?
01:21:29 Give me that bottle of water.
01:21:44 It's no longer safe here
01:21:48 For someone like you either.
01:21:55 This is my son's room.
01:22:09 Why didn't you leave with your son?
01:22:12 I'm a good fighter too.
01:22:14 How could I show courage in France?
01:22:16 It would be absurd,
01:22:20 I'd slack off, get too comfortable.
01:22:27 You're hot.
01:22:31 I'll get medicine tomorrow.
01:24:19 We now have the situation
01:24:23 The rebels no longer control the area.
01:24:27 The Northern sector has been purged
01:24:30 and we'll continue to clean house.
01:24:34 A reliable source has informed us
01:24:36 that the rebel soldier,
01:24:39 the Boxer,
01:24:40 is hiding out amidst foreigners
01:24:44 who rip us off and use our land
01:24:47 to grow mediocre coffee
01:24:52 Their accomplices will be eliminated.
01:24:55 What good is money if you're dead?
01:24:57 I paid in advance!
01:24:58 Yes but...
01:25:01 I hear you hide rebels!
01:25:03 It's not safe. We want our money!
01:25:06 - Plus a bonus!
01:25:09 - We must finish!
01:25:11 We want our money!
01:25:15 Hand it over!
01:25:21 - The money's gone.
01:25:23 Look, the safe is empty.
01:25:26 Someone stole all our money!
01:25:28 Rotten luck!
01:25:30 Can't you see?
01:25:34 I'll get more. Here's 200.
01:25:36 Is that all?
01:25:38 Give it to us!
01:25:39 I'll pay you tomorrow.
01:25:42 Take us home. We won't wait.
01:26:10 Everyone, get out! Out!
01:26:27 Get out!
01:26:30 No money. We're poor.
01:26:31 Empty your pockets.
01:26:34 Everything!
01:26:38 You can't! We're poor!
01:26:41 You're crazy! You're crazy!
01:27:09 Christine, Bernard!
01:28:10 Go away! He's dead now!
01:29:31 I know where the Boxer is!
01:29:33 He's at my place!
01:29:37 Wait for me!
01:29:45 I know where the Boxer is!
01:31:54 Please, sir! Can you pull over?
01:31:59 This is where I get off!
01:32:01 Driver,
01:32:05 I'm not stopping here.
01:32:07 That's where I'm going.
01:32:10 I won't stop here.
01:32:12 It's dangerous here now.
01:36:43 Are you going that way?
01:36:45 Are you heading back?
01:36:48 How long till you leave?
01:36:57 I have to go home.
01:37:01 - Where do you live?
01:37:05 I know it.
01:37:06 Marida!
01:37:08 - My son is there!
01:37:20 Take her to the Vial plantation.
01:37:22 - The old white guy's place?
01:37:25 Can't you take me?
01:37:35 I'm tired.
01:38:03 Manuel took my bike
01:38:06 Help me find him. He can't cope.
01:38:10 He's defenceless without me.
01:38:17 Extreme blondness brings bad luck.
01:38:20 It cries out to be pillaged.
01:38:26 Blue eyes are troublesome.
01:38:32 This is his country.
01:38:35 But it doesn't like him.
01:38:43 The Boxer is hiding at my place.
01:38:46 I know.
01:38:56 Stop the car.
