00:00The Americas, let's cross the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Once upon a time, there were the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:11From Cyprus to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Pursuing their dream of freedom
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often the heroes refused to accept their fate.
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:47They all took up the torch, going further, going higher.
00:53And their dream of seeing it come true
01:01The Americas are now here, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, which we have all dreamed of one day.
01:13May everything work together, to reach the end of destiny.
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:45And if these newcomers are our gods, then we must welcome them with dignity, go and prostrate ourselves before them.
01:51No, they are men, invaders, we must fight them, annihilate them.
01:54They possess formidable weapons; they have mastered lightning.
01:57This could be very dangerous for our people.
02:00They are but a handful, and our army is numerous and powerful.
02:04If we must fight them, we will defeat them easily.
02:06Let's not waste any time, let's attack them
02:07Yes, they're asking for gold, always gold, it's rather disturbing.
02:10Don't you think so? Gold is the metal of the gods.
02:12No, it's only because they are greedy.
02:14I understand your passion, a product of your youth.
02:16Dear nephew and son-in-law Kouotemok
02:19But we, the elders, whom only wisdom should guide,
02:22We need to ask ourselves all these questions
02:24There were omens
02:26The solar eclipse, comets in the sky
02:29Meteor showers
02:30And now our volcano
02:32The catepelt popo that spits fire
02:35The prophets told us that beings would come from where the sun is born.
02:39That's where they come from
02:41And they offer us green stones, messages from the gods
02:45Are they not their emissaries?
02:47What does our leading expert think?
02:48Lord Doucarrero brought one of his servants to me so that she could tell me about her dream.
02:52And it seems to me that you should listen to his story.
02:54The goddess Cuero, mother of the gods, appeared to me in a dream and she said to me
02:58You must abandon the practice of human sacrifice.
03:00Stop beating the drums, otherwise everything will be broken tomorrow.
03:03There will be no more temple or sacred pyre.
03:06Before long, everything will become deserted again, for here come other men.
03:09The divine Quetzalcoatl, our kind and gentle lord, had the same headdress, the same pale complexion, the same beard as
03:15the newcomers
03:16And he had said he would return in the year of the rose gardens to re-establish his authority
03:19And this is precisely the year of the rose gardens.
03:22Our gods hated violence, let us not anger them once again.
03:28A temple, a stone building constructed on the water – it all looks like an enchanted fairy tale.
03:32There is no city like that in the entire Western world.
03:35No, no, such things had never been seen or even dreamed of.
03:39Besides, weren't we ourselves dreaming?
03:41Ahead !
04:13Did you see that?
04:16Oh !
04:17Oh !
04:22Well, I never!
04:25Come on !
04:34Oh !
05:01MFP subtitles.
05:10The king welcomes you and all your friends.
05:13This is indeed the symbol of conquest, of spun glass against a pure jewel.
05:37To house Cortez and his men, Moctezuma will put an entire palace at their disposal.
05:44Put two men on the terrace.
05:45Go on! Hurry up, you dawdler!
05:51Put a cannon there, Pedro.
05:53Yes, Hernando!
06:13No way, my fish!
06:18Oh, hello, come and taste my chili peppers.
06:22A tunic ball?
06:25That's very interesting. So, what do you think?
06:29When we arrived, as we had never seen anything like it,
06:32We were amazed by such a multitude of goods and people.
06:37And of the order and organization that reigned in everything.
06:40Once, twice, two hundred to the left for the beautiful slaves.
06:45What is a banana?
06:50Oh, don't give it to me!
06:53That's disgusting!
06:56Wait !
07:00Ah, go to hell, let's walk!
07:03A turkey!
07:04A turkey!
07:13A turkey!
07:13A turkey!
07:13Two of adons, two of adons!
07:14Two of adons, two of adons!
07:16Oh!
07:20Oh!
07:22Oh!
07:24Oh!
07:26Oh!
07:28Oh yes!
07:42Vici Lobo had a broad face and deformed eyes.
07:45Horrifying, that was his body, the gigantic serpent.
07:48As for Tesca Tepuca, who was the god of the underworld,
07:51he wore what looked like little devils around his body
07:54whose tails resembled snakes.
07:56I want you to tell His Majesty that these gods seem very wicked to me.
07:59We worship our gods and we consider them good
08:02as surely yours are, Lord.
08:04If you would allow us to erect a cross here and place the image of the Virgin,
08:07You would see the fear of your idols.
08:11Lord Malinché, if I had known how to guess your dishonorable words,
08:14I would never have shown you our gods.
08:16Now, I ask you to withdraw.
08:21We'll put the Virgin's hotel here, but it's quite strange, it sounds hollow.
08:41Oh !
08:42I forbid you to take anything.
08:44That would be theft; this wall must be closed.
08:47We'll find another way.
08:50Wait, I've suddenly had a good idea.
08:52This is the plan we are going to put into action.
08:58Greetings, Your Majesty.
09:00I have learned that some of your men have attacked my garrison in Veracruz.
09:03And the guilty parties must go to Mexico City to answer for their actions.
09:07In the meantime, Lord, it is fitting that you come to our palace.
09:10We will serve you obediently.
09:13I refuse. I don't care if I have obedient Juliens.
09:16You don't have to argue, you have to obey.
09:18And if you raise your voice, you are a dead man.
09:23That's good, it's probably the will of the gods.
09:31The guilty have been punished, Lord.
09:35Now you must swear an oath of allegiance to our Catholic majesty.
09:47This is Istaxinatel, priestess in charge of maintaining the sanctuary of our gods.
09:51Don't talk to me about your gods, they are bad idols.
09:53When will you agree to praise our God, made of mercy and goodness?
09:57Give us time to understand your mysteries and your gods.
10:00We know ours well and, whether you like it or not, they seem good to us.
10:03That's not true; only the devil, Satan, would accept human sacrifices. It is necessary
10:07That it stops.
10:14We must dare for God.
10:16No, wait, but what are you going to do?
10:25You were wrong, Malinche, to attack our gods. He now orders us to wage war against you.
10:30to destroy you all.
10:32So, if I have one piece of advice to give you, Malinche, it's to leave without delay. Leave this city where you will be
10:36all massacred.
10:38Moreover, 18 of your ships have just reached our shores. You will be able to leave with your brothers.
10:42Yes.
10:451300 of Velázquez's men have just landed to take us back to Cuba.
10:49Narvaez is in charge of them. I sent him an emissary to explain the situation.
10:55What did he reply?
10:57That they would immediately set out to attack us.
10:59What do you decide, Captain?
11:01We will attack them at Sampola with the help of our Totonac allies.
11:05Bernal, send messengers to Sandoval to join us with all these men.
11:10You, Pedro, will stay here. You will hold the city with a garrison.
11:13But calm down, I don't want any trouble.
11:15You can count on me, Captain.
11:17No...
11:19Ah...
11:25Ah...
11:27Well, that's fine!
11:41Okay, boss, let's go. Let's go.
11:47Forward, my friends, suck all these damned pagans.
12:04Why did you do that? All those people had done you no good, no harm.
12:08They were just singing and dancing peacefully.
12:11I sing about all savages and pagans.
12:13Stop it, you pagans, you savages, so good riddance.
12:16Oh God!
12:21So many of our own were killed.
12:22They weren't even armed.
12:23White men are bad.
12:25We're not going to let ourselves all be massacred.
12:27The culprit is Moctezuma. He let himself be fooled by those devilish foreigners.
12:30We must drive them out of our homes and kill them one by one.
12:43Ahead !
12:48Quick, buddy of a buddy, bring out all the guns and show no mercy to these savages.
12:53So, you fool, what are you waiting for to use it?
13:00Look!
13:00She is doing it.
13:02She's doing it everywhere.
13:04Follow me, we're going to pay.
13:06To the attack!
13:18Cortés returns!
13:20Save us! We are saved, I tell you!
13:26I knew we would win.
13:28These fools only understand force.
13:36Their leader has returned. I recognize him.
14:03The men of Narveille have agreed to follow you.
14:05Why? How did you do it?
14:07I promised to share Mexico's gold with them.
14:10But we're not there yet.
14:11What did you do to make them so angry?
14:14I wouldn't be surprised if you played a trick on them in your own way.
14:17That's 112 of the pagans and savages.
14:18Alonso, fire the cannons.
14:20Bernard and Pedro, follow me.
14:22We're going to attempt an outing. Get ready.
14:26Fire !
14:34Santiago, follow me!
14:46Wait a minute!
14:48Quickly, comrades, let's retreat! Back! Back!
14:53There have been far too many losses. We won't succeed like this.
14:57I believe it would be wiser to involve Emperor Moctezuma.
15:00Yes, you're right, Bernal.
15:06Stop these fights!
15:07These men are more than brothers to us.
15:10They are gods.
15:11They massacred our women and children.
15:12They are savages. They are not gods.
15:15Demons that we must destroy.
15:20Brothers, let us no longer listen to what this Spanish woman tells us.
15:23He's a city man. He must be punished.
15:27Yes, that's it.
15:46Here, we have nothing but enemies. We won't stand against this raging mob.
15:51We must leave as soon as possible, otherwise we will all be massacred.
15:53That was quickly said. They still have power, they've cut all ties.
15:57Bernal, I'm putting you in charge of having a portable bridge built.
16:00You will need 150 soldiers to maneuver it.
16:03Sandoval, with 100 men, you will clear the way for us.
16:06200 men and 200 Indians for the artillery.
16:09Alvarado, you will provide the rearguard with about a hundred men.
16:12Alonso, you will stay with me, in the center.
16:14with 200 men to provide assistance to all those who need it.
16:18Is that understood?
16:19But first, one last thing to settle.
16:23Mr. Cristobal de Guzman, treasurer to the king.
16:26Here is the fifth of the treasure that belongs to His Majesty.
16:28Please put it in a safe place and check it.
16:30Take care of it. Take it away.
16:39As for the rest, help yourselves, gentlemen.
16:41Oh yes, go ahead.
16:43Take as much gold as you like.
16:45Oh, I've never seen so much gold in my life.
16:48I don't know what, joy.
16:52Delors!
16:54Delors!
16:55Delors!
16:56Mountains of gold!
16:57Long live gold!
16:57Long live gold!
16:58Mountains of gold!
17:25Mountains of gold!
17:30My gold! My gold!
17:41Look over there.
17:45Raise the alarm.
18:04Careful, we're at the back.
18:43How can I give an idea of what that night was like to someone who didn't see it?
18:47Of a sad night.
18:50What can be said about the multitude of warriors who were pouring down upon us?
18:54From these channels that led our companions towards sacrifices.
18:58From this terror that surrounded us.
19:04As soon as a horseman charged against the Mexicans,
19:08They jumped into the water,
19:10they killed the horse with blows from long lances,
19:13then they crushed the rider.
19:14Under these conditions, without firearms, without a crossbow,
19:18Plunged into the pitch black, what could we do?
19:21Otherwise, charge sword-wielding towards the shore.
19:23Having barely reached dry land, near our Indian allies,
19:25Cortés turned around to come to the aid of the stragglers.
19:28Unfortunately, they didn't get very far.
19:31Alvarado, what became of your other men?
19:33Alas, Captain, they are all dead.
19:35We are the only survivors.
19:36There's no need for you to go any further.
19:38At these words, Captain Cortés' eyes filled with tears.
19:41In six days of fighting, we had barely covered 40 kilometers.
19:45All our men, without exception, were wounded.
19:48As for the losses...
19:49We lost 600 of our men and two-thirds of our Axcaltec allies.
19:53But my determination remains intact.
19:54We will return to Mexico City.
19:59The men continued to fall,
20:01And as we passed by, the Mexica shouted to each other,
20:03"Come on, dog, come on! Death awaits you!"
20:08Chief, chief, we saw them, there are thousands of them, it's incredible!
20:11There were approximately 200,000 of them in front of Totumba.
20:14All that remained was to commend our souls to God.
20:17It was then that Cortés made this incredible decision.
20:19Forward, gentlemen, let's charge at them, for God and for the king!
20:22It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good!
20:53Our friend, Governor Velázquez, was kind enough to send us reinforcements.
20:59Tlaxcaltecs have remained loyal to us.
21:00All we need now are boats to attack Mexico City via the lagoon.
21:04Would you be willing to take care of it, Bernal?
21:06You're a good carpenter, Martin Lopez, I'm counting on you to build ships for us.
21:10What are you saying to each other?
21:11You want me to build ships in the middle of the land, how, like this?
21:14They will be built in separate parts and transported on men's backs.
21:17What am I going to use to make them for you, huh?
21:20You see that forest over there? Well, it's made of trees.
21:22Trees are used to make beams, planks, and ships.
21:24Yeah, that's all very nice, but where am I going to find the carpenters I need?
21:28How many do you need, Lopez? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?
21:32Oh, that's it then.
21:46Onward, everyone to Mexico City, everyone to Mexico City!
21:551521, Cortés is back in front of Mexico City.
22:02Gentlemen, our objective is to besiege the city.
22:05We will divide our troops into four companies.
22:07The riders will attack three by three or five by five to support each other.
22:10Instruct the infantry to close ranks.
22:13Alvarado, for your part, you will cut the Chapultepec aqueduct,
22:16which supplies the city with drinking water.
22:21We will attack with the brigandas through the lagoon.
22:24and we will prevent their canoes from supplying the city.
22:27We will starve them.
22:31Sub-parades, please, for the jungle.
22:34Sub-parades, please.
23:05No, no, leave me alone! No, not that! No, no, no!
23:13All men are falling like flies. What is this disease, master?
23:17This disease was smallpox brought by the white people, and also the plague.
23:22Oh, you're missing out! The white people have offered an honorable surrender. Can't you accept it?
23:26White men are lying. It's better that we die than be at the mercy of those who
23:30They will make us slaves and torture us to find out where the gold is.
23:34A truly prophetic statement from Bernal Diaz.
23:50Cortés!
24:09Despite their heavy losses, they continue to resist. We won't succeed like this.
24:12We're going to change tactics. As we progress, we're going to destroy everything in our path.
24:17I came for the good of my people. Take this dagger and kill me.
24:31Cortés did not kill him immediately. He first tortured him to force him to reveal where
24:34was gold.
24:36Because he persisted in remaining silent, Cortés had him strangled.
24:39The fall of Mexico-Tenoctitlan would mark the end of the Aztec civilization.
24:43A magical, albeit cruel, world will be succeeded by what we call Western civilization.
24:49Cult of wealth, exploitation of indigenous people, slavery.
24:52What do you want? We were short-staffed.
24:54The indigenous population, decimated by wars and diseases, had fallen from 20 million to 1 million souls.
24:59For the Hidalgos, who came from Spain, in this vast already conquered country, they worked with their own hands.
25:04Oh, how awful! In Madrid, meanwhile, after this conquest, they are plotting against Cortés.
25:09He will embark on a voyage to try to justify himself to Emperor Charles V.
25:14Seven years later, he still hasn't been able to meet him.
25:17And one day, on a road near Valladolid...
25:30Who is this man?
25:32I am the one who gave your majesty more kingdoms and cities than you have
25:36inherited from his ancestors.
25:57This is the story I told you.
