The Portuguese Falcon (2015) - full transcript

Individeos presents:

A true story.

Portugal! The Jewel of
the Atlantic!

A country of adventurers
and explorers,

founded by the fearless
afonso henriques,

the mightiest king western
Europe ever did see.

This majestic nation survived
barbarian invasions, khalifas,

the Spanish hordes and many foreign
threats for thousands of years.

An unstoppable nation
full of courageous navigators.

Whose domain once
spread all over the world.

But defending the homeland
has its costs,



something the Portuguese
do willingly.

Because in every Portuguese beats
the devout heart of a national hero.

However, this paradise
doesn't rule itself.

We owe all this to one man
only: Anténio de Oliveira Salazar!

Founder of the estado novo regime,

and Portugal's leader
for 40 years now.

But who defends the defender?

When danger lurks and evildoers
threaten our leader's security,

we need a hero.
More than a man, an ideal.

The nation's shield.

Portugal, April 1958

My name...

Ils general seagull.

You are here because you're the
cream of the crop of our army.



The strongest,

the fastest,

the most intelligent recruits
available to the Portuguese army.

But which of you...

Is...

The most Portuguese?

Recruit six, what the hell was that?

Why'd you attack your colleagues?

Because being Portuguese is
being the best, sir.

It is acting when others waste
time thinking.

- What's your name recruit?
- Falcon, sir.

No, my young apprentice.

From today on you'll be known as...

Captain falcon.

President Salazar's secret office

Was this information confirmed?

I checked it myself, Mr. president.

- And it's happening right now?
- As we speak.

Goddamn heretics.

Erm...
Mr. president, they're communists.

You can't be a liberal and a
socialist at the same time.

You can't be monarchich and
a republican.

But most of all, you can't be a
communist and a catholic!

Yes, Mr. president.

We need to do something
about this threat.

Mr. president, we need to
act immediately.

- I think I'm the most adequate...
- Nonsense!

What we need is a man of action!

But, you're not saying...?

Yes, agent. Get me captain fal...

You called, Mr. president?

Captain falcon, please come on in.

Good day, captain...

What... what was that for?

Captain, it seems you
haven't met agent Rose,

of the international state
defense police.

I know exactly who he is.

You must understand, Mr. agent,

in my line of work I need to
be extra careful.

Don't worry, captain falcon.

I see you're by yourself, captain.
Where is your partner?

Partridge kid is an expert in the art
of subtlety and disguise.

He's closer than you think, Mr.
President.

Impressive.

And the real agent Rose?

He's safe and sound. Don't worry.

I appreciate your dedication,
partridge kid.

I will sleep soundly knowing you
are protecting me.

He rarely speaks, Mr. president.

A master of disguise should never
reveal his true voice.

I understand. The enemies of the state
are where we least expect.

And that's exactly why I
called you here.

We have confirmed information
that the communists are robbing

the national Portuguese bank
as we speak.

Goddamn heretics.

We don't know for sure
what these savages are after.

Interesting. Usually commies
aren't smart enough

to commit financial crimes.

It's up to us to fight galloping
communism

and the international
proletarian threat.

Then we will visit the
national bank promptly.

And don't worry, Mr. president...
I eat communists for breakfast.

- Captain?
- Yes, Mr. president?

If you already knew your partner was
disguised as agent Rose,

why did you hit him in the face?

Mr. president, I rather be accused of
being overzealous,

than being unpatriotic.

This will be an intricate mission,
partridge kid.

There will be a lot of civilians, so a
complete domain of the art of

diplomacy is imperative.

National Portuguese bank

watch out, partridge kid.
It's possible some

commies are infiltrated
in the middle of these civilians.

Remember your training.

The communist has physical traits that
differentiate him from other citizens

with practice and some concentration,

it is definitly possible to
identify a communist at first glance.

Goddamn commies!

This is the big problem with
communists, partridge kid.

They may have strenght in numbers,

but it's the individual
who ultimately suffers.

Captain, thank you for defending
us from these monsters.

I was so scared.

Captain?

Prevented with success.

Good job. I knew I could count on you.

I suppose nothing
extraordinary happened.

Any casualties?

A female citizen was assaulted.

Inevitable collateral damage.

Do you need me for anything else?

That is all for today, captain.
You've fullfilled your duty.

Then with your blessing I will
retire to my home.

- My family awaits me.
- Of course, captain.

Your family must be dying to see you.

Comrades, it happened as expected.

Exactly as you said.

Captain falcon appeared just in time
to prevent our robbery.

Perfect, comrade. Begin phase two.

Soon we will be able to execute
our revenge on that...

Fascist.

Soon the country will fear our name.

Soon they will all learn of...

The April captains!

How was your day, husband?

Good.

It was good.

I was working in the garden today.

The hydrangeas have
started to blossom.

James! How many times have I told you
it's dangerous to play with cutlery?

I'm sorry father. I got scared

it's just a communinja, James.
There's no need for rudeness.

A correct posture at meal time is one
of the most important

things a man can learn.

Yes, father.

Look at your brothers.

They understand the value of etiquette
when they sit with family.

It's what separates us
from the animals.

It's what makes us civilized men.

Yes, father. I'm sorry, father.

Erm... good evening, captain fal...

Calm down. Can't you see I'm
educating my son?

James, go to your room immediately.

I hope that by skipping
dinner tonight,

you'll behave better by
dinner time tomorrow.

Yes, father.

Good night, father.
Good night, mother.

I apologize for my son James.

He usually behaves better
when we have visits.

I have two kids too,
don't worry about it.

Ah, so you understand my diligence.

Parental work requires constant
attention and vigilance.

But, what brings you here tonight?

Erm...

I came to threaten your family and
take your defenseless wife hostage.

Seems like a good plan, but...

I wouldn't exactly consider my
wife defenseless.

Your wife also knows martial arts?

Don't be ridiculous. The gentle and
primitive brain of a woman,

would never be able to
master self-defense.

What about your real wife?

Don't worry. She's safe and sound.

Damn you, captain falcon.

Only a capitalist would use his
wife as bait like you did.

Hold on a second.

Partridge kid, release my wife.

These communist attacks can't be
isolated incidents.

I suspect a conspiracy.

This is getting more
and more sinister.

We need to consult with an expert.

Professor fethry is a master of
political sciences and occult arts.

He has helped me in many missions,

but I must warn your
he's known for his eccentricity.

I don't know how this meeting will go,

but when we get to his bazaar
you're better off not saying anything.

Oh no! We arrived too late!

Poor professor, now all
that's left is the skeleton.

The world of political sciences
is a dangerous one,

full of deadly traps and
unexpected threats.

What the hell are you
doing in my office?

Good evening, professor.
I apologize for the intromission.

But we though you were working inside.

I went to get some coffee.

We were startled by your entrance.

I thought you were dead,
perhaps victim of some

ceremonial sacrifice or a political
conspiracy.

Don't worry. It's Victor,
my young assistant.

He may not seem very lively,
but he's an excelent typist.

Right. Erm...

Professor, I'm afraid
this visit isn't entirely social.

We need your help with this case
we're investigating.

Great, great. What is it this time?

Demoniacal atheists?
Monarchic vampires?

Liberal werewolves?
What's troubling you?

Everything you mentioned is
very troubling, professor.

But the problem this time is...

Communists!

My god, it's even worse
than I imagined.

More specifically, communist ninjas.

Communinjas!

Those are the most dangerous
communists of all!

That's why we need your help.

Then there's no time to lose.
To the screening room!

In the old days, it was easy to
fight the communists.

They all came from mother Russia and
were easily recognized by the smell

and lack of elegance.

Victor, next slide!

Karl Marx and friedrich engels.
This is where it all began.

Notice the beards and the
criminal gaze.

They are the original commies,
obvious villains.

Then it was Lenin, responsible for the
Russian revolution of 1917.

Notice how this fierce leader already
takes some care trimming his beard.

Josef Stalin.

The great leader behind the red scare,
until his death in 1953.

Pay attention to how the
communist evolves.

Hiding in plain sight.

This one only has a moustache.

They can be among us and we don't
even know.

Mao tse-tung.

My god, this one doesn't
even have a beard!

What kind of commie is this?

It's a new world, my dear captain.
A world full of unexpected dangers.

We need to come up with a plan.
These socialist vermin can't be

walking freely in our country!

If only old general seagull
was still alive!

Checkmate, young falcon.

This is a stupid game, general.
Shouldn't we be training?

Chess helps your
concentration, young falcon.

It develops your sense of logic.

It teaches you to respect orders and
take responsability for your actions.

Captain?

My old master. He would know
what do fo in a situation like this.

It's been many years,

but the general was the smartest
person I've ever met.

Aside from president Salazar,
of course.

He taught me everything I know,
Patridge kid.

Even some things I never understood.

He died in service, like an
hero should die.

How can we defeat this
red scare, professor?

To fight a criminal you must
think like a criminal.

You must act like a criminal.

You must be a criminal!

You're not suggesting...?

You and your partner are gonna have
to dive deep...

Into the criminal underworld!

Remember, partridge kid, from now
on we're just two common criminals.

Act naturally and think
like an evildoer.

Good evening, comrade.
How are you doing?

We just came from terrorizing
innocent citizens.

It was great!

They don't suspect a
thing, partridge kid.

With these criminal disguises
professor fethry gave us,

we're blending perfectly
amongst these bandits.

Barman!

Two glasses of milk, please.

Did I say milk? I meant absinthe.
Two absinthe mugs, big ones.

Partridge kid, I'm gonna sit down.
Take care of the check.

Look at this, partridge kid.
Communists, liberals, thieves,

men of the arts, and women who made
bad life choices.

The country's scum all in one place.

If this wasn't a secret mission,

it'd be the perfect time to
blow them all up!

Good evening, comrades!

It's great to see so many
evil faces here tonight.

Comrades, we are living proof
the criminal underworld is here...

To stay!

Thank you. And now, he have for
you an amazing,

marvelous, mythical magic arts show!

With no further ado, here's...

Lenin, the communist transformer!

This is gonna be good, partridge kid.

My sailor friends have told me
a lot about trans shows.

This is the commie we need.
We must interrogate him,

he's clearly the leader.

Please, get me out of here, help!
Help!

No, partridge kid,
remember we're undercover.

We must hide our identities
at all costs.

Help!

Must...

Abolish...

Private property!

Proletarians of the world, unite!

Cowards.

Yes, it's me, captain falcon.
I was here the whole time,

I heard everything you said.
I know all about your plans!

How dare you attack defenseless
Portuguese citizens and,

transform them into socialists?

Think I'm by myself?
You're wrong!

I brought my faithful partner in the
fight against crime and evildoing.

Partidge kid, reveal yourself.

Partidge kid!

If you were thinking of giving
yourselves up, it's too late now.

Let's do this, comrades.

Watch out, partridge kid.
They're feminists.

There's nothing more dangerous than
a woman who thinks she's a man.

Damn you! Your communist rays
may convert the weak-minded,

but let's see if they work in two
real Portuguese men.

Don't worry, partridge kid.
He's stunned.

No one can take that
much communism.

Fascinating. I've never seen
one up so close.

Good job, captain. No one has ever
been able to capture a live commie.

Have you thought of
what we can learn from him?

I think he should be destroyed,
Mr. president.

He's a threat to public safety.

Nonsense, agent Rose. I captured him
so we could extract information.

We must find out what their
master plan is.

Then let me try, captain.

My training at the state
police was based

in the arts of interrogation
and negotiation.

Your training is based on shutting
up and letting me do my job.

Mr. president, I've developed a
foolproof interrogation method.

With your consent I'd like to
put it in practice on this outlaw.

Cigarette?

Light?

I know this must be very frustrating.

Believe it, I too want to go home.

My boss is all over me
because of this case.

But for that I need your help.

It's not you we're looking for.

Rice cake?

Tell me where your communist
friends are!

Where are you striking next?!

I'll kill you!

I'm dangerous!

Listen...

This doesn't have to be like this.
We're here to help.

We're on your side.

I promise you no one is going to hurt
you if you cooperate.

We're not here to hurt you.

Custard tart?

Come on, you need to eat something.

Tell me the names of your
communist friends!

I know where your family lives,
you hear me?!

I'm going to your house and I'll burn
your children in front of your wife.

I'll kill you! Kill you!
I'm dangerous!

Listen...

We're all very tired.
Stress and all that.

I know you're worried,
but we'll protect you.

We're on your side.
It's not in our interest to hurt you.

Jelly doughnut?

Comrades, once again it happened just
as expected.

Exactly as you said.

Falcon has kidnapped comrade Lenin.

Perfect, comrade. Everything is going
according to plan.

Now it's us who will know where
falcon is,

and this time the fight will be
in our terms.

The April captains will triumph!

I've never seen anything like it.

Such dedication.

Where did he get that many cakes?

It wasn't easy, but we have the
information we need.

I know where they'll attack next.

Jewel expo 68, the biggest jewellery
fair in the world.

Right here in Lisbon.

You think it's their next target?

How can you be so sure?

My interrogation methods never
fail, agent. The villain has confessed

the commies are attacking
at the fair's inauguration.

Why do these punks
need so much money?

They're trying to knock down our
financial strenght, as well as...

The innocence of our citizens.

And I don't think the attack on my
household was a coincidence.

My god, captain. You might be right!

Did you get any more information?
Do you know what's the ultimate plan?

Unfortunately the poor bastard
perished before...

I could offer him more pastry.

Then there's only one thing to do.

Jewel expo 68

I'm feeling a slight deja vu.

Partridge kid, it's important
to keep calm...

In situations involving civillains.

We can't scare them, for the
civillain, unlike the military man,

doesn't have the necessary fiber to
deal with high pressure scenarios.

Attention, citizens. My name is
captain falcon,

and I am here to evacuate you.

Please don't panic, but we have
confirmation that a deadly...

Terrorist attack is to occur at
any moment, right here.

Yes, a lot of innocents will die, but
that's exactly why I ask you to

calmly walk towards the expo's exits.

Don't forget your belongings and try
no to get killed in the inevitable

stampede that is about to happen.

Thank you.

Partridge kid, open your little
slanty eyes. Let's investigate.

Partridge kid, I sense an ambush.

Nice to see you, captain falcon.

But... who are you?

You don't remember your
old colleagues...

Recruit six?

What are you doing here?
Why are you dressed like that?

We're here to defend our
country from it's biggest enemy...

You!

But you're Portuguese soldiers.
Portuguese warriors!

You can't be communists.

We were humiliated, falcon.

You ruined our reputation in front
of the greatest hero...

This country has ever seen.

The great general seagull.

Getting revenge for that disgrace
is the only motivation we need.

And if we need to use communists
as our allies, so be it.

Now everyone will know our name.
We won't be ridiculed no more.

April captains, activate!

Red captain!

Yellow captain!

Blue captain!

Pink captain!

Black captain!

Really?

Black captain? You chose black
as your color?

Get them!

Damn you!

I'm only defeated by the cowardice
of your numerical superiority!

Come on, kill me at once.
You traitors!

Kill you? That would be too easy.

We want you to suffer like we did on
that fateful April morning.

We're gonna turn you into the
thing you hate the most.

A woman? Please, no!

No, you idiot!

A communist.

No, anything but that!

How did this happen?

We don't know, Mr. president.
But he's a communist now.

We must destroy him like a rabid dog.

Impossible, he deserves better.
He's our greatest hero.

We owe him more than that.

That only makes him even more
dangerous, Mr. president.

We must treat him just like
any other prisoner.

Maybe. But we need to give
him one last chance.

What are you thinking, Mr. president?

I'm thinking it's finally time to
see your interrogation skills.

How are you feeling, captain?

Operational, agent.

I had a bad experience
but now I'm feeling much better.

Good. But we'd like to keep
you under observation just the same.

Of course, that sounds fair.

Can you tell me for how long?

A few weeks, surely. Enough to
determine if the captain is or isn't,

a communist!

Communist? No way!

I love a society divided by classes.

And are you sure you're in
condition to work, captain?

Of course I am, I just need you
to release me from these handcuffs.

I'm not sure that's a good
idea, captain.

Agent Rose, don't you trust me?
It's me, captain falcon!

Portugal's greatest hero!

Promise me you'll behave?

Agent, you have my word
of honor.

Die, capitalist pig!

The revolution is here
to destroy your precious estado novo!

Religion is the opium of the people
and I am crazy!

I'm gonna kill you!
I'm dangerous!

Checkmate, young falcon.

We're always playing games, general.
Shouldn't we be training?

Chess helps your strategic
perception, young falcon.

A single piece, no matter
how lonesome,

can be the difference
between victory and defeat.

I made you cocoa cake.

I see.

James. You're the man
of the house now.

It'll be hard growing up
without my presence,

but I'm sure you will
honor my name,

and take care of your
mother and brothers.

James. I also want you to know,

that there's a possibility of your
mother finding another father for you,

now that I'm locked away for life.

Don't be frightened,
it's perfectly normal.

In my office, inside the second
drawer on the right,

is my service revolver.

When this happens, remember:
The first bullet is for your mother!

The second is for the
intruder who took my place!

Do you understand?!

You kill your mother first!!

James!

James!

But... why don't you just
shave your beard?

There's no point, Mr. president.

Now I'm nothing but
a despicable communist.

If it wasn't for this glass barrier,

I would be strangling you
with my bare hands.

I'm very disappointed in you.

I know. I am too.

I suppose I owe you an apology.

But I won't give you one.

Partridge kid,

even though you're not a
purebred Portuguese,

I've always considered you my son.

Not a real son obviously,

but some sort of adoptive son

that washes my motorcycle
and carries my bags.

But now, it's time for
you to forget your old master.

Go back to your family.

Fly, my little oriental bird.

Forget me and this
ungrateful sidekick life.

No. Don't say anything.

Promise me you won't look back.

Fly, my little partridge.

Fly back to the nest
I snatched you from.

Fly, be free!

Free...

It's quite possibly the
best cake ever baked.

What now?

Excuse me, hold on a moment,
I'll be right there!

I'm just finishing a
very important report!

State business!

Just a moment!

I'll be right with you.

Come on in.

What is going on?

Too strong... neck brace...
Prevents movements.

You called, Mr. president?

Hey, can I have your rock?

Yes, of course. Go ahead.

Hey, aren't you that captain?
From the TV? Captain falcon?

That was a long time ago.
I'm not that person anymore.

I know the feeling.

This country doesn't
know how to treat heroes like us.

When you're in the limelight
everyone loves you,

but then they accuse you of
treason and throw you in the slammer.

So you spend the rest of your days
doing god knows what for cigarettes.

You look familiar.
Are you in the military too?

I was an aviator,
long before you.

Back when this country
still meant something.

Portugal doesn't know
how to respect men like us.

If this was a real country,
like england,

we wouldn't be treated like this.

To be successful you
need to make it abroad and all that.

What else can I say?

This country is a disgrace!

I have to go, I need some smokes.

Wait, friend, what's your name?

Back in the day I was a major.

They called me major Alberto.

This is pathetic.

There's nothing good
on TV, nothing!

Variety shows with mediocre
singers... game shows...

And why is this crap
still black and white?

My cousin lives in America
and they've had color TV for 20 years!

"We apologize for interrupting
this program"

We interrupt this program
to bring you breaking news.

It's with great burden on our souls we
inform you that the nation's president

Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, has been
missing for more than 24 hours.

The president's
whereabouts are still unclear

and members of his government
have been looking for clues.

Excuse me.

We just got breaking
news once again.

Apparently those responsible for
the president's disappearance,

have just claimed responsibility
for this terrible act.

It seems they left a film
reel at our studios,

demanding it to be broadcast
and threatning to kill

our beloved president
if we don't do it.

We cannot take responsability
for what you're about to watch.

May god have mercy on us!

Good morning, Portuguese citizens.

We're the April captains, military
men working for the real Portugal.

For far too long now we've seen this
country invaded by fascist vultures,

who do their best to keep
you in the dark.

And the biggest criminal is
none other than the president Salazar.

Salazar...

Yes, we will be accused of treason.

But only a military coup can restore
the democracy stolen from us.

Do not despair, fellow citizens.

This crook will be judged for
his crimes against the nation,

and a new world of Liberty, equality
and fraternity will be waiting for us.

Long live Portugal!
Long live freedom!

Freedom!

Finally!

No!

Portugal!

Freedom!

Communists.

Future of the country... danger!

God... nation.

Family! Salazar!

Liberty, equality, fraternity!

It can't be...

No. Please, no.

- Checkmate, young falcon.
- Please, no.

Where did he get that many cakes?

Cakes, cakes, cakes!

No, no more cakes please.

- I made you a cocoa cake.
- Please, no.

Cocoa, cocoa, cocoa!

No, no more cakes please!

I'm very disappointed in you.

No more, please! No!

My name is afonso henriques,
the first king of Portugal.

And I come now in this time
of need to tell you,

that your country
needs you, captain falcon!

No, I'm not worthy.
The country deserves better.

It doesn't matter what the
country deserves,

it matters what you
can do for your country.

A lot of people doubted I
would be able to kick out the muslims

or end the Spanish reign, but now,
look at me mom!

I have my own country!

I'm not the hero I once was.

I'm a communist, I hate
everything good in life.

Our actions are what
define us, captain.

My parents were Spanish,

but that didn't stop me
from being the first Portuguese ever.

There is no nation
greater than ours.

We're warriors,
adventurers, conquerors!

A Portuguese never gives up!

Are you Portuguese
or are you Spanish?

I'm... I'm Portuguese?

- I can't hear you!
- I'm Portuguese.

Are you Portuguese or Spanish?
Louder!

- I'm Portuguese!
- Louder!

- I'm Portuguese!
- I don't hear anything!

I'm Portuguese!

I'm Portuguese.

I'm Portuguese!

I'm Portuguese! I'm Portuguese!

I'm Portuguese too, shut up!

I'm Portuguese!

Long live Portugal!
Long live Salazar!

Salazar?

I'm all out of Jacks, go fish Victor.

Come on, Victor, don't
be such a sore loser.

What are you doing here?

I ran away from prison, professor.
The country needs me.

I suppose you're not saving
the country dressed like that.

And I suppose you still
have my old uniform.

What now, captain?
Are you rescuing president Salazar?

Not yet. First I need a partner.

Partridge kid!

I'm back. We have a new mission.

These damned April captains almost
defeated me with their propaganda.

I'm going to make them
pay for this dishonor.

I can only hope it's not too
late to save our dear president.

Blessed be the day the professor
installed this radar on our motorcycle

it will give us the
president's exact location.

Thank the lord for
Portuguese technology!

You hit like a woman.

You'll need more than those
light taps to make me sign that.

You will sign this confession!

And admit to every
crime you did to Portugal.

Crimes? My only crime
is being too humble.

I saved Portugal from
financial ruin. All by myself!

With my own two hands!
With no outside help!

I saved the country from world war I
and put us on the map.

There is no unemployment thanks
to me, Antonio de Oliveira Salazar!

Face it, old man.
No one is going to save you.

What was that?

There's only one animal
that makes that sound.

No... itcan't be.

It's show time.

You called, Mr. president?

Falcon.

Yes, it's me, captain falcon.

I came back to teach
you a lesson, you bullies!

Perhaps the last one you'll ever get.

We defeated you once, falcon.
We'll do it again.

Communists, get him!

Stay back, falcon. Unless you
want dictator kebab for dinner.

I thought you were a military man.

But now I see you're nothing
but a miserable coward.

If you're a real manly man...
Then come face me.

Don't worry, Mr. president.

I'm only creating a false sense
of security for the enemy,

it's all part of the plan.

- You got something in your eye.
- What?

My finger.

Portugal!

- Mr. president!
- I'm alright, captain. Don't worry.

- Surely you need medical help.
- Nonsense, it's just a few scratches.

Falcon, you did a good job.
Once again the country owes you.

I'm so proud of you.

That's all I wanted to hear.

Nothing can ruin this moment.
It's the happiest day of my life.

Noooooo!

Checkmate, young falcon.

Yes, it's me, general seagull.
I'm back!

You didn't expect this.

But... you were dead.
I went to the funeral!

I faked my death so I could dedicate
myself to a greater cause...

Saving Portugal from
this fascist regime!

But... the April captains?

My faithful soldiers.

Or should I say... my partners.

Partner...

Partridge kid!

Partridge kid, I'm coming!

Partridge kid, are you ok?
Answer me.

It's only a scratch,
you'll be alright.

Yes? I'm here buddy.
I'm here for you.

My little chinky friend.

I've always hated you, fascist pig.

- Interesting.
- You see, falcon.

Even your sidekick hates
what you represent.

He was hallucinating
with the blood loss.

Who knows what he meant by that.

He meant this country is
being ruined by fascist vultures,

and that has to stop.

But what is going on? You were a hero.
The most patriotic I've ever known.

You were my mentor. You taught
me everything I know.

Taught me how to be a military man!

Before being a military
man I was Portuguese.

And what my country
needs now is freedom.

I staged my death so I could start
a revolution. Quietly. In the shadows.

A revolution which will bring Portugal
to its true destiny: Democracy!

Diabolical!

And what about the communists?
How do they fit in all this?

Cannon fodder. The communist
is an easily manipulated creature.

They believe anything. I promised
them a class-free society.

They took the bait immediately.

And why all the theft? Why steal
money from the government?

Starting a revolution is
expensive, Mr. president.

Besides, money never goes
to the ones who deserve it.

And the April captains?
Were they also Cannon fodder?

You're colleagues died like heroes!

Any soldier's dream!

Now I only got a couple
loose ends to tie.

You coward! What kind of military
man kills two unarmed men?

Where is your honour, general?

I don't need military
lessons from a child!

When you were in diapers I was already
bleeding and fighting for Portugal.

Then if you are a real man,
fight like one.

One last match.
Master and apprentice.

Until death.

Young falcon, I see you learned
nothing from your defeats.

The years weren't kind to you,
general. You're a little rusty.

Never forget: You might be a captain,

But I'm a general.

There's still time to
surrender, general.

You were my chosen one.

Yes, but I chose Portugal.

Come on, join me.

Together we'll save the country
like in the good old days.

The country has never been better.

We're living the best financial
period since the dark ages!

Look at you, falcon. You're alone.

Your sidekick is dead.
Your president hides in terror.

Even the people you so
devoutly protect is against you.

They celebrate outside anxiously
awaiting the freedom we promised them.

That's what they want.

You're all alone, falcon!

No. I'm not alone.

I still have two partners.

Courage and justice.
And you're about to meet them!

Angola is ours!

And don't you forget:
You might be a seagull

but I'm a falcon!

Mr. president!

Mr. president, are you ok?

Nothing a good night's
sleep won't cure, captain.

What about your partner?

Don't worry, I'll find
another Chinese kid.

The dedication you exhibited
today was that of a true hero.

They will write poems about you.

Falcon will be a name as famous
as viriato, camoes, and eusébio.

Thank you, Mr. president.

But, in the end, which
Portuguese isn't a hero?

Those who aren't patriotic,
aren't even considered Portuguese.

It's easy to criticize those above us,
but we shouldn't judge them.

We don't know what kind of
pressure they endure.

We don't know what kind
of difficulties they face.

A patriot defends their
country at any cost,

even when they don't
agree with the government.

Regardless of social, political
or cultural issues,

a true patriot will
always stand by their country!

Even more when it
comes to military men.

To whom the country trusts the sacred
mission of defending us at all cost.

And how dare they speak of revolution
when we live in this heaven on earth?

Who are they to question
our eternal bliss?

The estado novo regime
will never be defeated!

Its legacy will be written
in the history of mankind!

We are invincible!

Long live Portugal!
Long live Salazar!
