Servant

Will you deliver Spain from bondage?

Soldier

Perhaps it is a trap.

Tomas

It is.

Soldier

Then what do we do?

Tomas

We break through.

Tom

I don't know! I'm trying! I don't know how!.

You do, you will.

Tom
[smiling]

I'm going to die.

Death is a disease. Its like any other. And there's a cure, a cure — and I will find it.
