How whiter you were, the better your position.
as mestizo was large, the probability you were treated as slaves.
Escape was impossible, because Curacao is an island. You can not get off there.
For the murder of the colonial, schoolmaster Sabre...

Tula? How long has Quaku coughing all?
There is nothing wrong with him.
Slaves in the field heels if their lives depended on it.
And on Sundays.
The trade routes open again.
Counting on it. Soon there again ships for trading.
What an absurd idea.
Since the war, the trade is stopped. And will probably remain so.
On Sunday slaves to work is a violation of the regulations slaves.
Ah, the slave regulations...
All paper waste.
A good slave is a slave working.
Praise the Lord. Bon Hende.
We are so glad that we can see your face. I mean, I'm glad you 're here.
Do you have any more than God's word?
Only his word and Holy Communion. Bread and sweet tea, not wine.
That's enough, Father.
Hey, Jantji. - Day men.
Man, you look dignified demeanor. - Not bad for a house nigger.
God bless you, Koro.
You see, we have on Sundays works of the master.
I just wanted to know... Who is going to hell for this?
That 'll be fine for you.
Mom.
Tula?
Would you do not have holy communion?
I have no interest in Whatever your God has in store for me.
Thanks for your hospitality, William. - Always a pleasure, Father.
Bye, Willem.
Thanks for...
one time.
Come on, Quaku.
Quaku, you do nothing.
Tula, he looks like shit.
I'm fine, Louis.
Arise, Quaku.
Stand up.
Go back at work.
Quaku?
My brother is sick. I want him to bring old Mama. They can help him.
I said : Go to work.
I think he 's going to die.
Sorry.
Forgive me, Lord, please forgive me.
Forgive me.
No god forgive someone which not only can forgive himself.
There is a shadow over you. We need you as you were.
The problem lies in that rotten war with France.
We have nothing to do with it, but it costs us everything.
Now that war has lost Holland, We are suddenly among the French.
Those French...
Why Holland is turned on his back to France?
While the French that nigger disagree could defeat the General Rigaud...
and his black peasant army.
When they hear here that the French have abolished slavery...
and that black suckers in Haiti have released...
What was that?
Listen Tick play, huh? What have you heard?
Nothing at all.
I stumbled. I've heard nothing, master.
I know better.
Keep it that way.
And more than that mess.
Tula, they are free.
They have freed themselves. the French have abolished slavery.
What did you say? - In Haiti, they are free.
Did you really hear correctly? - Word for Word.
Soon we are free.
The future looks good. - How good?
Good enough to get married.
Tell me when, where...
Give me an hour for a dress and I 'm yours forever.
You look at me, boy?
I would like to talk to your father.
That is not there. What do you want?
Come on.
Master, we can not go on. The land does not yield.
Soon no one has anything. Let me explain.
My father has no time for such nonsense. Get out to that field.
Do I need to remind you of your place?
Tomorrow we start with sunrise.
The master wants everything freshly painted.
Everything should look good for his birthday.
Where are you from? - I had to go to the bathroom.
Pedro, that's an hour ago. - He's a bucket of shit.
Tula, the master wants you.
What have you done? - I did not say anything.
Aside Louis. I'll kill him!
You're going to murder anybody.
Calm down.
Bobo, grab the ointment.
Come, let me some ointment rub your back. Sit down.
The point is nothing that you are accustomed to.
You can not even against whiplash. You have to eat every day needs.
None of you is a real go-getter.
I was not.
Pedro, you stand to lie?
I can not stand if my grandson is lying.
I was not.
Tula, What inspires you? - Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing? Be angry but, fine. But the right way.
Is there a right way to be angry? - Grab a white and chop his head off.
I 'm ready.
How angry are you?
Do you still want to talk, boy? - That would be a waste of time his master.
What did you say?
I heard that the French Holland have given. ass
We now live under French law.
Neither you nor your father can do something for me.
Tula... - No, Shinishi.
Are you crazy? - No, you know.
The French defeated the Dutch and have abolished slavery.
By law, we are free.
The French are the boss here.
Now you have to obey someone.
We all wait until you obeyed.
Obey?
Stay here.
I thought you had heard anything?
Shinishi...
Bring Speranza...
to Santa Cruz. - No.
Tell the master there that they are not suitable in order to work in the house.
Say...
she steals and not to be trusted.
Tell him that she is a thank you for the jam that his wife sent to me.
Now get out, boy.
Before you really pisses me off.
Go away.
We need to talk to them.
With who?
The master.
About what?
We can not go on. We are entitled to our freedom.
What are you planning?
Chat with him and drink a cup of tea?
He must understand. - The master must not...
just be blank and eventually die.
That man does not understand what is not clear.
So put that out of your head, boy.
The master says that we have enough indigo.
He says this is the only good piece of land.
He said: We take the indigo on...
and move the cane from there to here...
and indigo from here to there.
No.
What? - I said : No way.
What does this mean?
I thought I was clear. - Yes.
But I might not, so at this :
We set foot in those fields.
I want to know why we are still slaves while the French ' t have abolished.
Legally, we are the same, you and me.
Ridiculous. You'll never be my equal.
What you think, does not matter. The French make the shots here.
Keep your hands to yourself.
This issue is my power to above.
This is something for the governor. - The governor?
Yes, you must issue raise him.
What? Are you serious?
If you're right...
He might want to listen to you.
Yes, you 're free to talk with the governor.
Go but plead your case.
You have my blessing.
You're going to hang.
Come on, Tula - No, let him go. Louis, let him go.
I always wondered what was on the other side of the hill.
And?
There is nothing to other side of this hill.
It feels good to stretch the legs. - Hopefully you think that way about your neck.
Are we hung? - You do not have to come with me.
I 've started So I take it off.
I'll talk to the governor.
I think it's crazy, but I will not let you go alone.
Seriously...
he who doubts can still turn around now.
That's not a shame.
Well, let's go to the governor.
But first I have to go to Santa Cruz. - Why?
If I hang tomorrow, I can tonight use some love.
Silence. Silence.
I demand order in the hall.
Go.
Twenty slaves refused morning to go to work.
They said they wanted to be free.
And rather than address them You did what?
I referred them to you.
You referred them to me?
And now those slaves on the road?
Maybe we should have a feast before they set up, right?
Send a regiment of forty soldiers and ten negro soldiers...
to address them. slaves
What happens here in hell?
It looks like a sign from God, is not it?
That you would not even recognize as Jesus would drop. 's On top of you
We stand behind you. - For what?
We stand behind your rebellion. - Sure, God's character.
Shut up, Louis. Speranza, What's going on?
William drove past yesterday... here
and told that you are in our master raid are. He mentioned your name.
He said you were the instigator...
and that you have destroyed. his plantation He said he could just escape.
He 's gone to town and make soldiers out here...
to every nigger he sees murder.
Said that our master? - Word for Word.
He'll kill us all.
You see. You had me his throat have to cut...
Do not worry. We stand behind you. - Where do they come from?
We're from San Nikolas. We join the uprising.
Where is the one they call Tula?
Silence, silence...
Silence!
We just throw our lives, from our mother, wife and children away?
Why should a man so fast raise his fists...
before he extends his hand or opens his mouth for peace?
I 'm not saying that we have no reason have an uprising.
Reason enough, but this is not the way.
Tula, the soldiers are already underway.
With everyone gathered here We have a great opportunity.
I agree with you. This is our best chance for freedom.
But the only thing I ask everyone...
to be able to talk with that man.
If the governor does not want to listen and wants to murder me right away...
Fine, rebel as hard as you can.
Does anyone have trouble with? - Good luck with your rebellion.
And with your conversation with the governor. - You can not go back.
You said the move we could go back.
Sorry for the late reply. - We doubt it.
We go. - No, it's not safe.
After all the lies of the master.
If she 's a ship with soldiers Send wink, no one is safe there.
Louis, in the morning you take a horse and drive back to Cut.
Get everybody and everything. Food, horses, carts...
Everything. We will ' t need it.
If you have anyone, We meet again at Port Marie.
I let a horse set up.
Aqua di juramentu...
is a sacred brew for strength and protection.
You should not deal lightly.
It contains the will and power of our ancestors.
Before you take a sip, hold a moment of silence...
to get your mind and your soul...
concentrating. our task
Do you have anything to say, Tula?
Freedom...
equality and fraternity.
Liberty, equality and fraternity.
Speranza? We have to go.
I'm coming.
We would only take what is needed?
What? Like 'm not beautiful? - Yes. You look beautiful, but...
I Just wanted to know if it's necessary. - That's it, Tula.
I am a free woman who does not in slavenlompen out the door.
We're going.
Have Pedro seen anywhere? - No, I have not seen him.
Do you need help?
Holy shit.
Let them go.
I 'm Pedro and his men seek. You wait here.
Hurry up, Louis takes us
Louis could burst.
And Tula that matter.
They behave like a master.
They can go to hell. - You're right.
I'm going to find something fun for Anna.
Or for the house where we to live as we are free.
Shut up about Anna.
What are you doing?
Come here.
Louis, nice to see you.
I know that the man you nothing is done, do you?
No, nothing. - Pedro...
What inspires you? - What's wrong with you?
You're always talking about killing whites.
Yes, the ones that I have done something.
This man you touched with a finger.
Here, you are responsible for. All of you.
Tula, welcome.
My lady is waiting for you.
Welcome to my home, Tula.
Tea?
You have to perform. Huge task
I was not out this rebellion.
Yet you are in it.
I just want to talk to the governor.
Explain that we should be free.
Listen.
I can only in the background help, but I do what I can.
You can use my house if you make sure. It's yours.
As long as needed.
Goodbye.
Why you help us?
Because that's good.
I 've spent my life such beds made.
I never thought I would sleep in it...
let alone my husband would love it
You worry. - More than that.
How could it get so out of hand? - The time was ripe.
What I had thought?
How I became responsible for runaways from three plantations?
If someone has the responsibility wear. I know of no one better than you.
All those slaves have anything what they did not have yesterday.
And that they were yours.
Paradis.
Present.
Bring these conditions. Take four niggers.
Then they see them with their own kind fight.
Four of you.
Come with me.
Tula, come quickly.
What? - Come and see.
What is it? - Look for yourself.
Look, the slave plantations of eleven have joined us.
Good Lord, I 've never seen so many seen black people together.
I'm so glad to see you.
I am also glad to see you again.
Come Kletsu.
Where are you going? - We're going to dress up.
She has established the good things already built up, you know how greedy who are half-breeds.
Have everyone can pick like? - No problems.
What 's wrong?
I have to tell you a thing. - What then?
Pedro has killed a white man.
You're barely off the plantation and then you do that?
You put all our efforts in jeopardy.
If you kill a white man, they think it is a rebellion.
Pedro...
You 're very quiet. Normally you talkative.
Here is your signature. Say something.
There's nothing to say.
Sorry. We were drunk.
It got out of hand. - Ran out of hand?
No, something is getting out of hand if you got a plate breaks. Not if you kill a man.
I said : sorry. - Me too. Here you gonna pay for that.
You are detained and transferred to the Dutch, as soon as I get the chance.
I'm sick of you.
Always pretend you 're better than the rest.
No, Koro
Everyone may think you are a great are revolutionary, but it is not.
You are a slave, just like me. From the same plantation.
Who are you to carry me over? Or to lead all those people
Think you can do better?
Go. Lead these people, talk to the governor.
You are much better than me. Go ahead.
Pedro, come on. Bring order to this chaos.
Shoot.
Do not.
Come on, Pedro. It's that simple.
: Since you say your sixth I can not stand the sight of Tula.
This is your chance. Get him!
Get him!
Hacha, Bastiaan, lock them.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
I know that the gun was not loaded.
If you want freedom, then to behave.
Because from my position I freed one of you.
If you are legally to advocate your freedom...
then you're welcome to stay.
But if you mess comes stairs and do what you want...
then you are kindly requested to hooping.
So understand me when I say :
If you want to stay and want to continue with us...
then you do that peacefully and in accordance with the law.
Anyone who does not respect addressed.
Check here.
A person is very good at this.
Wait a minute.
You said you a few things had to say. What was that?
Almost forgot.
So we not only kill whites, but we collect them too?
These soldiers manning forts along the way.
I took them. They do not attack us...
and they can testify our good intentions.
And if the conversation about freedom does not go so well...
I also have a car full of weapons and ammunition.
Impressive. - I have my moments.
Give them to eat, let them freshen and put them in one of the bedrooms.
We have to take care of, but with continuous monitoring.
What do you do in that dress, Mama?
That's got nothing to. The question is what you do.
If you come, you go...
Mom, you look beautiful.
If your mother were here she would have been proud.
And I almost burst with pride.
Tula, I know that this is not occurred in your plans.
But you should know that for currently placed in the cradle are.
Before you really could walk, I knew you would be. to great things
In official regulation Governor Feather...
All slaves instructed to return to their plantations. directly back
Any slave who observe...
will not be penalized.
Slaves who refuse will be heavily be punished.
I repeat, all slaves now immediately return to their plantation...
will not be punished.
Are you going to follow this? - When I spoke with the governor.
I think... The Governor not negotiate with slaves.
If he changes his mind, we are here to 'm waiting.
Sir.
Tell me, Paradis. Go there today darkies dead or not?
The slaves will decree Failure to comply with the governor.
Their leader would first speak to the governor.
What an arrogant assholes.
Gather the men. we must murder a few niggers.
Bastian. They're coming!
After him!
In line. Fire.
Fall back, fall back.
Back!
Why do not you go out of your roof, like all the others?
There 's nothing to celebrate.
The Dutch attacked us. They think this is an uprising.
Speranza, do not you understand?
The law is no longer important. We are already condemned.
There is no time to talk. - We won.
There is nothing gained. There were only 50 soldiers around.
As a slave, you learn it best to pick from each positive detail in your path.
You should know. What happened today was good.
There are only a few wounded. And that 'll be fine, said old Mama.
Maybe you do not have a reason to celebrate, but I like that smile of yours?
A half grijnsje then?
Since we first test well have stood?
May I offer you a ride, Father?
Ms. Lesire, you heaven sent.
How'd it go?
As expected, the council agreed. I may try to get... the slaves
but I fear that it is in vain.
You can Tula as well as I do. He is stubborn.
He is a good man with good intentions.
Maybe you should not Tula, but the governor convinced.
If he has motherhood Tula What to say... - And then?
No, that ends in violence.
That's a shame. - Sin?
Who, Father?
For your followers whether the government maintains that the church?
Mrs. Lesire, the two are interchangeable.
One can not exist without the other.
Without slaves on land go bankrupt plantations.
As well as the community and the church.
Slaves set at liberty is as big a mistake as they murder.
You 're here, Father.
But we have not yet... - If you fail to get their rights?
They are part of your flock They come to you for advice.
Their lives and souls go me had on it, Mrs. Lesire.
But I am a man of God. I believe he is for everyone...
a place on this earth has determined.
I hope you find your place do not forget. Day.
Come on.
Lieutenant.
Travel through to the old St. Marie. We set up camp.
Inventory
Where do you go, Father?
I'll talk to the slaves.
You can not in your own walk in darkness.
You will be murdered. - I have to speak urgently.
I know them, I am their pastor.
I 'm safe. - I like to send an escort with you.
God is my escort.
If I'm around noon not be back...
Oh, you have no doubt your instructions.
Hello?
I am, Father Schink.
Father Schink.
I am alone.
I need to talk to Tula.
I bring you to Tula. - Nice.
Reverend.
What are you doing here?
Unfortunately, I'm here on official title.
On behalf of the Governor, I ask you in order to go to the plantations back.
So I ask you, accordance with governmental decree...
to promptly return to you plantations.
No. - No...
I thought so
Would you like something to drink?
I'd love to. - Come on.
So hear every slave on the island to be free, legally.
I must admit that I am proud of the position you take.
The pursuit of freedom is the highest goal in history.
Then...
How proud I am, to all of you, I can not...
I do not want anyone is hurt, you know?
I would be remiss if I now not wise to some hard truths.
I listen.
The government is determined to force you back.
The army is deployed when you not agree with their proposals.
You do not. Survive such an attack
My son...
you can not... this
You can not win this fight.
Father, we do not all stem of a mother and father off?
Adam and Eve.
There has long been our done much wrong.
We want to hurt anyone.
We only want our freedom.
I'm really sorry.
I can not do more.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
People can have some here Use protective prayers.
Want Old Mama help?
With pleasure.
We are gathered tonight... here
to every god that we know, old and new, to call...
to protect our path...
during our freedom march.
Holy Mary, hear our prayer.
Holy angels...
I 'm kneeling at the feet of the Virgin.
Di ki manera uh
Di ki manera nos ta biba ki
after mundo
Saint Rose, first holy flower in the new world, hear our prayer.
Nos. haci coupon
Pekado di nos a haci malu
Hora mi a si malu Peka dota ma mulami
Jesus, hear us.
Peter, give us the key the gates of heaven.
Ago, Ago yey.
The road to Legba.
We are here to see if we the road to Legba may stabbing.
Here we are, Dad. To see...
or we can stabbing about.
Oh, my King.
Can I use the governor to say something?
Tell him that we only want our freedom.
I will pray for you.
We do not want to fight.
I am assuming that you are willing are you going to plantations back.
I 'm willing to give it to the governor discuss.
That childlike fantasy never becomes reality.
Send everyone home. Then everyone stays spared.
This is your last warning.
I do not think the governor bloodshed...
prefers a peaceful conversation.
That is how the world works. Whatever you do, do not change.
You 're better off if you realize that and make something of your life.
A life without freedom, captain, is not life.
I'll leave you to your fate.
Are you ready?
Company A, fire.
Fire.
Company B fire.
Go back to the house.
Tell him Bastiaan women brings safety. I love it here.
Company C fire.
My god, they keep coming.
Back, back.
Retraction.
Koro, Pedro, do something you will have a lot of fun.
Kill a few whites.
Bastiaan has women away? - They are gone. We see them at Fountain.
Thank God.
I do not want to die...
That's not what I want.
Help me, please.
Calm down.
Everything will be fine.
You do not need to be afraid.
Relax.
Let it go.
Let 's go...
everyone could choose.
We chose to partner to enter the fray.
We knew the price of freedom.
Freedom is a right of everyone. This price is too high.
We have done what to do.
We would not have done otherwise.
How many deaths and injuries? - Twelve dead, Captain.
How many casualties is unknown, but there are certainly some.
Reinforcement? - Along.
The ships that get injured, return with reinforcement.
What are your orders?
We'll stay here until we know more. Give peace troops and supplies.
Rather wait and send a battalion to the salt flats.
I do not want to be attacked in the back. - Got it.
With all due respect, you should not be here. It's not safe.
With all due respect, Captain. You can keep your mouth.
This is my land and I will not let me say what I should do or not.
No offense, but they can attack any time.
An attack?
The last time I saw them, they seemed a very peaceful group.
I bet you was attacking. Or not?
Well, I'm going to the state of my house but look at it.
You will ensure that it is clean if you leave, right?
Brave breast.
Yes, ma'am.
Westerholt.
Uytrecht of which I owe this honor?
My involvement in this case is not small.
That nigger, Tula, is one of mine.
I like to see this resolved.
We talk to them, master of Uytrecht.
Nothing more. - Of course.
To everyone who cherishes life, I call to drop the weapons...
and return to your plantations back.
Wear the instigators of this rebellion on...
so that the consequences of their betrayal can experience...
and everyone is spared. - Save yourself the trouble and go.
We do not go into the field. Not today, not ever.
You can not win. Later Will you kill people.
Make me the governor get to speak.
I can not.
He would have no freedom, all I could do.
It's over, Tula. Give it up and at least let your people go home.
Would you do that?
Back to the filth, hunger, and the whip?
To the question of whether you live or not.
Shoot, shoot!
No! Not so hasty. Your chance will come.
We have today have bleeding heavy.
We have many fine brothers lost...
husbands...
waders...
ZONE "...
I did not want this fight.
But we are forced To save this path...
nilly, and God help me, I will finish this.
And know this, brothers...
Whether we win or not...
each one of you...
every man, woman and child...
that's here tonight...
You are already free.
Equality.
Freedom. Brotherhood.
Equality, freedom, brotherhood...
We must take them by surprise. I was thinking...
to name a few on the roof putting.
How should it continue? There is little troops, food and ammunition.
Those soldiers are a well equipped.
It has to work with what we have. - I would not know how.
But we do.
Our camp is already behind the hill.
The women are safe on the plantation.
The steep mountainside is a natural buffer against any army.
You can see them from miles away. A perfect place.
We firing from there and there.
The path is very suitable for fast withdrawal and supply of material.
Impressive. - There are still a few surprises.
Well done. maybe we do have a chance.
That we have. - And we're in trouble...
we flee for Seri Christoff.
Louis, firing.
Down there.
No!
Grandfather!
Grandfather, do not die. Please
Get Bastiaan, two men and care for women and children.
Fall back, fall back.
We continue, to San Juan's house.
Put it on the camp, Lieutenant. - At your orders.
We go to San Juan's house. The ships pick stocks.
Trapped and injured can are brought to the city.
Every rebel you see along the way, you need to capture.
As they work against...
kill them. - Got it.
Pedro.
Do not shoot. We are.
This is far enough.
We stay here tonight.
How? There is nothing.
Where the children sleep? - We have to stay here.
We do not know where the army and our men are not there to protect us.
Jantji.
Jantji stop.
Grandfather always asked me why I was not like Tula.
Pedro, I'm sorry...
Why should I blame you of his death?
Thanks to you, he died a free man.
You know how he his last hours spent?
Liegend how many whites he had killed.
How much?
246.
Help me to bring. Them to the carriage
Can he walk?
Careful.
Where are the others? - No idea.
We were attacked from all sides.
Everyone has fled.
Things are getting worse with him. It's probably gangrene
Cold Fire? Are you sure?
Damn. This has gone on long enough.
Plegher, where are my ships?
There is no new.
Tomorrow you take the boat to Punda and ask the governor where they remain.
And the rebels?
Those are the Mondi fled. We tried...
The excuse is known to me. We know where they are hiding?
The largest group is fragmented.
The rebels are everywhere in the Mondi, from here to Seri Christopher.
It is difficult to attack. and chasing them in the bush is futile...
We starve them.
It looks deserted.
We have pots and buckets needed, look in the kitchen.
I'll get water.
Assholes.
You're alive.
Still.
And Hacha?
Louis? - Tula...
Burn the warehouses. they poison wells, from here to Santa Cruz.
I know where we can get food. - Where?
We get it at the soldiers.
Fled to the West?
So you have to rebel again can not overpower?
We have hunted them, at Port Marie and later at Fountain.
We have taken many prisoners, but sooner or later we grab them.
The captain only fears that they there can keep. hidden for
That's why he wants the supply cutting off supplies.
He wants to know if he ships may expect.
There are no ships.
This rebellion may do not last long.
Otherwise, get the blacks on Banda Ariba perhaps ideas.
Tell Of Westerholt that he should resolve the issue. quickly
Hold him. Give him more gin.
Just hang.
Hang in there...
Almost...
Gotcha.
Pour gin into the wound and connect it directly.
Do not shoot.
Be vigilant.
Plegher, control units to surround the mountain.
Here it stops.
This will ensure a safe trip to your plantation. That way.
This only insures a safe journey to your plantation.
What do those idiots out there? - No idea. Should we shoot?
But then they shoot back. - No.
Wait... Look.
They let them go.
They let us go.
Again, each slave who wants to surrender...
must throw down his arms and steps from the Mondi.
Each slave with a weapon is immediately shot.
It's over. There are many dead and the spirit is gone.
I know. But my freedom, I do not. Give them
I think that too.
We have lost the battle, but I still feel combative.
So do I. - You know that I love to fight.
So... we go through? - As long as we can.
We have to hurry, then we are back in time with the women.
Pedro and I address What address is.
We see each other in the women's camp. - Be careful.
You too.
Come Pedro, let the whites go harass.
Goodbye.
There will be a next time.
I hate that you have to leave.
Then you do not like it What I am about to say.
What then?
I want you surrender.
Not without you.
Speranza, I can not stand vomiting. They know me.
If I do that, I'm dead. - And I'm dead without you.
If you think you can put me aside when the going gets tough, you do not know me.
What should I do? - What you do best.
Maybe you freeing no slaves in 1200.
But the two of us. And maybe a few others.
We can in a cave sit at the ocean.
We make fun for the two of us.
For three of us.
I need to Louis and Bastiaan far, before sunrise.
When I return, We'll talk about our cave.
Do not be afraid. You have nothing to fear.
All women, children and the elderly received a license...
and must immediately return to their plantation...
on pain of death.
It's over.
Tula can take care of themselves.
He would not want you wandering to find him.
If he can, he will come to you.
You have to find a place that he knows.
I should have gone with him.
I will not go back.
I do not, honey.
Neither do I.
So Mrs. Lesire, I 'm curious what does the governor thereof.
Where is everybody?
Stop. Do not move.
Koro, what are you doing here?
I was lost.
Koro, it's over.
Louis and I were in the women's camp. They are all gone.
We were ambushed and have had to divide us.
I do not know where everyone is, but we must move on.
Come on.
Tula, sorry about that prop.
But my head can not talk to you. You make me confused.
My mind is made up. They offered me a deal.
I you just have to transfer...
and then I'm free.
A free man.
Koro, we only take your statement.
My What?
Say what you said. Against us earlier
The accused in front of the complainant and the indictment of openness.
Come on.
Well, I...
Look at me.
What? - The plaintiff looks to the accused.
I am the accused, Koro.
Koro.
Look at me. Tell what I did.
Look at him and say, What you said to us.
None of us this Wild.
We did not even the plantation road.
Tula and Louis and others forced us with a gun...
and said :
" You fight or you die."
We had no choice.
They were only to a revolution.
They wanted to take over the island...
like the blacks in Haiti.
Properly.
That 's it.
This...
you are officially...
a free man.
You 're a credit to your species.
Thanks for your help to solve this mess.
Go...
and do what you feel like your life.
After careful consideration of the available evidence...
The board came to a decision.
Silence.
I will be very clear.
We do not think lightly about these things.
Pressing guilty is found...
the hiding rebels or provide assistance to them...
then all taken your property seized and banished from the island.
Let this be a clear warning.
Very clear, governor.
Remember that.
This could have ended worse if Jantji had not confessed...
he was forced to to help the slaves.
Jantji has admitted that?
That he himself fast and painless death worried.
You can go.
I 'll save you.
We need names, Tula.
There were probably more.
I do not know.
My head is spinning from all the blows, you know?
Your friend Mr. Mercier was much more helpful.
Louis was arrested this morning...
and proved to be a smooth talker.
Louis has directly stated that you could pot.
Indeed, until we his knees edited with a hammer.
Then his tongue came loose. He told us what we needed.
But why do you ask it to me then?
We want you confirm his statements.
Then we can close this miserable chapter.
I also confirm that you can go to hell.
Up there.
I do not want blood on my carpet.
During the interrogations has shown that you, rebels...
wanted to seize power.
You wanted to commit a coup.
Thus the revolt a revolution...
and you as a leader, a danger to the state.
No penalty is high enough.
But...
What bothers me the most...
is that all this occur can be had.
I understand now that the slaves of Cut were addressed. too strict
No eating, working on Sundays...
But that is no reason for an uprising.
I wish you had come toward me.
My God, man.
Know your gee " Would?
Make the prisoners ready for the judgment.
As the leader of the revolution...
Tula will slave to the Cut - plantation To be hanged. two crossed poles
Being broken every bone, from the feet upwards.
His face is burned, then he beheaded...
the head is placed on a stick.
What 's that noise?
Let them come out...
what happens to naughty people happens. Go.
Bastiaan Carpato will execution his chief witness...
and the same fate.
For the murder of the colonial, schoolmaster Sabre...
Pedro is about Wacaaw execution grounds dragged by a horse.
Are his hands cut off, and his head is crushed with a hammer.
Louis Mercier.
You will be hanged follow to the death.
Mom, what are you doing?
Have I made ​​you cry?
Tula, sweetheart. I was thinking earlier.
Things to remember may be.
We eat, before there is nothing more.
Tula 's opposition gave his people not freedom...
but better working conditions on the plantations.
slaves regulations were strictly respected by the government...
to prevent. new stands
Tula's son was 68 years...
when slavery was finally abolished.
