00:00America, let's cross the Atlantic
00:04These are the Americas
00:06Once Upon a Time in the Americas
00:09This is the story I'm going to tell you.
00:12From Siberia to the Pacific
00:16The elders began to walk
00:19They etched oceans
00:23They crossed continents
00:26Pursuing their dream of freedom
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic
00:36Often this was the end of heroes
00:39It's not easy, but it's magical.
00:43To make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:46They all took up the torch for a time.
00:50Going further, going higher
00:53And their dream came true
00:59Oh oh, the Americas!
01:01The Americas are now here
01:04Just as you imagined them
01:06These are the Americas
01:08It's up to you to create this fantastic world
01:11Something we've all dreamed of at some point.
01:13That everything works hand in hand
01:18To go to the end of destiny
01:21On this land
01:24Without hoping
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:37America
01:38She therefore gained her independence
01:40It is important at the end of this century
01:415 million souls
01:425 or civilians
01:43Scattered all along the coast
01:45Already deserves that name
01:47Philadelphia, of course
01:48With 46,000 inhabitants
01:49new York
01:50With 33,000
01:51Baltimore
01:51Boston
01:52Charleston
01:53Just a few thousand
01:54But the country will experience
01:56Rapid expansion
01:57Thanks to intrepid men
01:58Lovers of wide open spaces
02:00One of those
02:00Was Daniel Boone
02:03Even as a young boy
02:04He was not lacking in character
02:06As for you, Daniel
02:07At 12 years old
02:07You don't even know how to write your name
02:09What interests you
02:10It's running through the woods
02:12You're driving me to despair.
02:13Go and herd the flock
02:14That's all you know how to do.
02:39Where did you just type?
02:43I waited
02:43Crippin'
02:47Oh la la la la
02:47I don't even know anyone
02:49M multitude of
02:49There the car
02:49…
03:01conductor
03:15Daniel Boone thus grew up in the forest
03:17learning about the animals and the Indians who lived there.
03:28Father! Father!
03:30Oh!
03:32Look what I hunted today.
03:34You don't know how to do much, Daniel, but you're a good hunter.
03:38Wait, I'm going to give you a present.
03:48Thank you, Father. Thank you so much. It's a splendid weapon.
03:56They are magnificent.
04:17Hello to you, my friend.
04:18Hello to you, my friend.
04:20Oh, I see you have two rifles now.
04:22Yes, you can see that.
04:24Here, well, this is for you.
04:28Okay, now let's both go hunting.
04:36Who knows, we might encounter lots of little creatures.
04:40Oh, and maybe even big ones.
04:42Look, the anointing black.
04:45The king of the forest.
04:55Oh, I don't know.
05:00Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:02Oh, oh.
05:06Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:09Oh, oh, oh.
05:12Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:14Subtitling by Radio-Canada
05:50This is a great deal, sir; you won't be disappointed.
05:53260 hectares of Carolina panthers and all that, all that for the modest sum of 50 pounds
05:59I don't know if you realize
06:00Do you think you'll like it here, Rebecca?
06:03With you, my friend, I would be happy anywhere.
06:19Daniel Boone thus established a home and built a beautiful farm.
06:23But the call of unexplored lands was becoming irresistible.
06:32My darling, I've finished bringing in the harvest and all the livestock are locked in the pen.
06:36I'm going to head out to explore that way, towards the west.
06:39I'll be back soon.
07:00Rebecca! Rebecca!
07:03But what is it? It's a...
07:06No, it's a boy, his name is Israel
07:12My darling, I've brought in the harvest
07:14I'm going back out to explore a bit.
07:16Yes, of course Daniel, but please take good care of yourself.
07:23How wonderful! It's a...
07:25No, this time it's a girl, Daniel, her name is Sarah
07:31Listen, my darling
07:32I know, the harvest is in, the livestock are locked up
07:34And you will head back west.
07:49This is my last trip, my darling.
07:52We still have debts and I have to bring back a lot of hides
07:55But this time I won't be alone
08:22The bison are our friends, white men.
08:24They must be killed when their flesh and skin are needed.
08:27You killed far more than necessary.
08:29We enjoy hunting and we kill them for pleasure.
08:32And as for their hides, these animals belong to no one.
08:34The bison belong to everyone and everyone must respect them.
08:37There, that's how I respect them.
08:42White men need to understand that animals should not be slaughtered
08:47They are like the sky, the clouds, and the wind of the plains to everyone.
08:50Otherwise...
08:56No, but did you see where I threatened that whitewashed evil?
08:59I am wild
09:03We got it, we got it, let's see
09:06And where is the other one?
09:11I've killed more animals than all of you, I'm entitled to a bigger share
09:14Yeah, that's true, we've killed more animals than all of you combined, it's only natural that we
09:18have a larger share
09:19No, I don't agree.
09:21We are a group and we must share the proceeds of our hunt fairly.
09:25I disagree, don't you?
09:26Wait, say what you want
09:30I believed the nonsense, our friends
09:32Explain to me why you're attacking us, great chief
09:34That man killed one of my sons who wasn't threatening him.
09:38And your massacres of our animals are a crime.
09:40Since you were our friend, we will let you go back to your family, Daniel Boone
09:45But we're keeping everything
09:56Daniel Boone and other pioneers will discover many territories and the country will expand
10:01The new capital, Washington, is inaugurated, where vacant lots predominate.
10:06That same year, Vermont joined the Union
10:08Then Kentucky
10:09Tennessee
10:12But to go further, there is unfortunately an obstacle
10:15Louisiana, which belongs to France
10:17And Jefferson, then president of the United States, will try to buy back New Orleans
10:24Talleyrand, try selling these Americans not only New Orleans but all of Louisiana
10:29You see, Talleyrand, we don't know what to do with this country.
10:35Well gentlemen, all of Louisiana is yours for $20 million
10:39What? You're trying to sell it to us for 20 million?
10:42But we don't have the authority to... to carry out such a transaction, 2 million for New Orleans, 3 million but
10:49no more
10:50I'll go as high as 19 million
10:52But that's way too much, let's say 4
10:54No, 18 million
10:55That's way too expensive, 5 million
10:57No, not 5, 17
10:58Let's make 6 million
11:0016 million, at a stretch
11:037
11:0315
11:04Yes
11:0414
11:059
11:0613
11:07So, let's say 10
11:08I'll go down to 12
11:10I won't go to 11
11:11That seems reasonable to me.
11:1411 to 10
11:15And Louisiana was thus sold to the United States for $11 million.
11:19That's about 10 cents per hectare
11:21The price of a box of matches
11:24It was a good deal
11:25One could even say it was a fantastic deal
11:28Because overnight, the American territory will double in size.
11:31And its population is growing because new immigrants arrive every day.
11:35The country will expand westward, ever westward.
11:46They will now join the union
11:48Ohio
11:49Louisiana
11:51Indiana
11:53Mississippi
11:54Linois Island
11:56Alabama
11:57Maine
11:58Missouri
12:01Well, if I'm not mistaken, that makes 24
12:0324 states in the union
12:05But there was a big difference between them
12:08But what difference are you talking about?
12:10Would you say that only in half of these states were all men free?
12:14And in the other half...
12:19Come on, come on!
12:21Come on, come on, faster than that, you lazybones, don't dawdle!
12:24Anyone who fails to fill these two bags will have their day whipped.
12:29Whipped, that's right.
12:39My son !
12:40Your son tried to run away, but it's going to cost him dearly.
12:43No, no, don't hurt him, he's just a child, he didn't know
12:46But so what if he dies, that way he'll know
12:48He'll run slower with that
12:50And there was another problem
12:54We need to resolve the problem of the Indians.
12:57The Cherokee settled in Georgia, whether they moved west beyond the Mississippi
13:01You will have them sign this treaty which grants them a territory where they will be at peace
13:07What? Black Falcon and his tribe fled their reserve? They even crossed the river?
13:12They didn't have enough to eat on their reservation, President Jackson
13:15Send the militia to escort them back across the river.
13:18I don't want any more Indians east of the Mississippi, and Chonise
13:23They migrate, Mr. President, they migrate
13:40We will sign 350 treaties with the Indians
13:44Virtually none of them will be respected by the Americans
13:47And thousands and thousands of redskins
13:50They will lose their lives in these forced migrations westward.
13:56Arkansas joins the Union
13:58Beyond Louisiana, the Americans will advance into Texas
14:02Which then belongs to Mexico
14:03The situation there is fluctuating.
14:14Freeze this
14:15Yes, that's it, I don't know.
14:17And this must be the new government, since the old one is leaving.
14:21It is the old and new governments settling their scores.
14:31Lord, rock climbing is not allowed in Mexico
14:33Lord, I ask you to release these men
14:36We have a dealership here in Mexico.
14:38And I'm going green, American style.
14:40General Santana, our president
14:42You might not be happy when you find out about this
14:44You summoned me, Mr. President?
14:46What's happening in Texas is unacceptable.
14:51Unacceptable, all reports confirm it
14:52Americans believe they can do anything.
14:54General Coz, take a detachment
14:56And go and sort all this out.
14:58In a way, General President
15:09The Americans are here
15:10They are not very numerous
15:11With our army, we'll make short work of them.
15:28I am Burleson, the American commander
15:30I am ready to let you go home freely.
15:32If you give me your word that you will no longer wage war on the Texans
15:36Word of honor
15:40Word of honor
15:43Incapable, cowardly
15:44Chiffes, molles, carambas, tunnel, coulees, paillassons, serpillères, pain de nouilles
15:49I'm going to show these gringos what I'm made of.
16:03Colonel Trevis, Colonel Bowie
16:06The Mexican army arrives
16:07They are thousands
16:09How many men can we have at our disposal, Colonel?
16:12Barely two hundred, David Croquette
16:13We are at your command, Colonel Trévis
16:16Thank you, Colonel Bowie
16:17Women and children should stay away
16:19La la la la la la
16:34La la la la la la
16:37La la la...
16:53Texan, you don't stand a chance!
16:56We are a thousand strong and you are not far away! Meet up! You will have your life safe and
17:01You will be able to go home!
17:03No way! If you want the strongest love, come and get it!
17:06Alright !
17:12Fuego!
17:23Come on, you busybody!
17:31The Texans will hold out for two weeks.
17:341500 Mexicans will pay with their lives for the capture of the Alamo.
17:38Only five wounded men will remain, and they will be finished off.
17:42A few years later, the United States would declare war on Mexico.
17:45Following in Cortez's footsteps, General Scott will conquer Mexico
17:49and America will be enriched by Texas, New Mexico, and California.
17:56And New Mexico, Utah, and California will join the Union.
18:00Only one region remained unexplored: Oregon.
18:04Here too, the pioneers would soon flock in.
18:07Saint Louis on the Mississippi!
18:10Everyone off!
18:14Do you know where the Oregon Trail is, Captain?
18:18What? You too?
18:19You go up the other river, the Missouri, for 400 kilometers,
18:24up to Independence City, the trail beyond.
18:27You'll only have 3000 kilometers left to travel.
18:29So, good luck, you'll need it!
18:49Let's go!
18:50Let's go!
18:52Let's go!
18:54Let's go!
19:00I am looking for a carpenter and a herdsman.
19:03He must know how to cook and chop wood.
19:06Leaving for Oregon tomorrow morning.
19:07Oh, me?
19:08I'm in, sir.
19:10I may not know how to do everything, but I am strong and full of goodwill.
19:13No, I will accompany you.
19:15Cooking is my specialty.
19:18And I know how to shoot a pistol, that might come in handy!
19:20To kill redskins or in case of trouble with other pioneers.
19:27If our destiny is to spread across the continent, I want to do it with peace in my heart.
19:32I have no intention of killing Indians or getting into trouble with settlers.
19:36I like you, boy, what's your name?
19:39Peter, so you're hiring me, sir?
19:41Okay, Peter, I'll hire you.
19:42By the way, my name is Williams.
19:44Come on, let's go celebrate.
19:51So, friends who are voting for me to be the convoy captain,
19:54I'll take that one as my second.
19:56He's an excellent shot.
19:57Yes, Williams, well done!
20:00He's our captain.
20:07Go West, onward, friends!
20:23Here we go...
20:44Good
21:05The Rocky Mountains are coming soon.
21:28Oh, beautiful cover, oh!
21:41Come on, Peter, push!
21:44Push, Peter!
21:49The risks were hit by a snowstorm.
21:51We're going to camp here until things calm down.
22:07You only had to be captain and we would have been kings!
22:10You should have helped me become captain!
22:12You should have stood up for yourself!
22:13You should have just scared people!
22:25Could we have a little bit of coffee?
22:27And a little sugar!
22:29And a packet of biscuits too!
22:30There's a bit of a guy there, though!
22:31Hey you two, how come you don't have any supplies or tools?
22:35work ?
22:36We don't need tools! We're property developers!
22:41I didn't understand, are these promotions?
22:43I understand your ignorance, it's a new profession!
22:45Real estate developers, don't you see?
22:47We're going to take possession of the land!
22:49We're going to sell them!
22:50Then we'll buy even more land!
22:52Sell them, buy them back, sell them back, buy them back, and so on!
22:57We raise pigs and we have bacon, we know that, but with the product of the harvest,
23:01Let's make some pancakes!
23:02What you want to do doesn't seem very useful!
23:05Especially since all the land is free!
23:27Sell them, sell them, they're ready!
23:30They're ready to resell them!
23:30No, no, no!
23:32Go ahead!
23:55One of your men killed one of ours who came in peace!
23:58Give us the culprit and we'll leave immediately!
24:01I can't do it, but I promise you he will be judged and we will provide you with blankets.
24:05and axes!
24:07No, the life of a brave man cannot be bought, and since you refuse, we will return to do justice!
24:33Let's go!
24:43Let's go!
24:47Let's go!
24:50Let's go!
25:03We will build our house here, on this promontory, and there we will grow wheat and corn!
25:08These are ideal pastures for livestock!
25:10You can see right at the foot of the hills!
25:12Later, you can build your own house!
25:15There's no shortage of space!
25:17Let's get to work!
25:20The pioneers of Oregon were more than 3000 kilometers from any civilized place!
25:25Their lives were difficult, dangerous!
25:33And yet, it is these farms, these hamlets, that will be the cities of tomorrow!
25:37350,000 pioneers would take this route in the 1850s!
25:42Others, Mormons, will go towards the Great Salt Lake!
25:45Others will head to California!
25:49And then, one day, near Sacramento!
26:00Gold! Gold! I found gold! Gold!
26:04Gold! I'm rich!
26:07America, crossing the Atlantic!
26:13Here are the Americas, from North to Pacific!
26:20Here are the Americas!
26:21If I were once the Americas, this is the story I told you!
26:28Once Upon a Time in the Americas!
