:54:06
That is here.
Above the falls, in Spanish territory.
:54:10
No, that is territory which used
to be Spanish. Now it's Portuguese.
:54:14
- That is for His Eminence to decide.
- No, that is a state matter.
:54:19
It was decided by the Treaty of Madrid
and concluded by Spain and Portugal.
:54:25
But surely the missions will remain
under church protection?
:54:29
That is what His Eminence
is here to decide, Father Gabriel.
:54:40
Continue, Father.
:54:46
Your Eminence, below the falls,
the jungle, if it has to be divided...
:54:51
...may be divided between
the Spanish and Portuguese.
:54:54
But above the falls, it still
belongs to God and the Guarani.
:54:58
There's no one else there.
And they are not naturally animals.
:55:02
- They're naturally spiritual.
- Spiritual?
:55:06
- They kill their own young.
- That is true. May I answer that?
:55:11
Every man and woman is allowed
one child. If a third is born, it is killed.
:55:16
But this is not some animal rite.
It's a necessity for survival.
:55:21
They can only run
with one child apiece.
:55:24
And what do they run from?
They run from us.
:55:28
- That is, they run from slavery.
- Rubbish.
:55:31
- It is well-known...
- Rubbish. Your Eminence?
:55:35
Your Eminence?
:55:36
Rubbish. Rubbish.
:55:39
Silence.
:55:43
In the territories covered by Spain,
there is no slavery.
:55:47
That institution is permitted
in the territories of our neighbors...
:55:51
...the Portuguese, and is, to my mind,
much misunderstood.
:55:55
But here, in Spanish territory...
:55:58
...we run our plantation in accordance
with the laws of Spain...
