"Don't take her away!" "Kill the Red Eagle and you'll have a place among us." "He'll be in my hands even if I have to look under every stone in the city." "The only thing that's certain, Augustín, in this life, is that I want to avenge the death of my wife." "The plot goes much deeper, Gonzalo,... it's not just about the murder of your wife." "I'm Sátur, Saturno." "The servant." "You already know I already have some regard for my son's teacher... that's why I worry about who sleeps under his roof." "Our plans are coming to a head." "The king's days are numbered." "Baloa is the only one who can reveal the murderer of my wife." "Hold her tight!" "Please, I beg you!" "See if you can be a bit more careful with the costume..." "You returned from the missions turned into half-a-man." "This woman has done much harm in the past and she can do it again." "Gonzalo, how are you?" "Lucrecia, you remember my sister-in-law?" "Margarita, I didn't recognize you with so little clothing..." "Our affair doesn't matter anymore." "Gonzalo will never forgive me." "Looks like the teacher really loved his sister-in-law." "The revival of things is just a matter of time." "This is just what they're not going to have!" "...that Gonzalo and you are still in love." "It's up to you." "Long ago I was locked up in a dungeon like this." "Just the idea that I wouldn't see you again made me able to escape from there." "If you'd look at me like you look at him just once... that would be enough!" "Confess that you're Red Eagle!" "I'm Gonzalo de Montalvo,... schoolteacher." "There are hidden forces conspiring to seize power." "This 17th century has been going on too long!" "Why is this meeting so urgent?" "We're killing the king tomorrow." "And Felipe de Baloa will occupy the throne of Spain." "They are members of the lodge." "It's awful, these are all the nobles of Spain!" "One of the men on this list murdered my wife." "I've found the first Capuchin monk on the list, and I know where he is." "Who murdered the teacher's wife?" "!" "The commissioner." "Don't worry, Mom, I won't give up until I've got your killer." "Where is the commissioner?" "Out of town." "Where?" "!" "On the way to Segovia." "Middle Valley Hill." "For the love of God!" "They've got enough men to dominate the town for months." "They're ready to move in at a moment's notice." "How are we going to stop them?" "The contents of that bag, in contact with water,... will emit a lethal gas." "The end of the Asturians is in your hands, Marquesa, so don't let us down." "Gonzalo is my brother-in-law, nothing more." "I want to be with you." "You don't know how happy you make me!" "Marry me." "I'm already married." "Margarita, married?" "Her husband's been gone for years --- chances are he's dead." "And if he isn't?" "We still bury him." "Juan, I don't like to butt in... but Margarita is my sister-in-law,... and I won't let you hurt her." "It bothers you, doesn't it... that in the end, Margarita has chosen me?" "Gonzalo, please!" "I received a kiss but didn't give one." "I'm married." "This document attests to the death of your husband." "Now it's all up to you." "I had to talk with you." "I've got something to say, too..." "I'm going to marry Juan." "If the friar hasn't informed the king, what a mess!" "He should die." "Augustín!" "Killing your mother's killer won't bring her back." "But at least I'll be able to sleep in peace." "Your mother would be ashamed of you." "Who killed her?" "Why won't you even tell me that?" "There's a gas." "Will you really dare kill me?" "I have to." "Do you know who it is?" "Open up!" "Close your doors and windows and hide at home!" "The king is dead!" "I claim the throne of Spain." "You're under arrest for conspiracy... and treason against the throne of Spain." "My mother's killer isn't going to get away with it,... someone has to do something." "Don't do it." "He's your brother." "I want to see every place searched for the Red Eagle... even if you have to burn every house to the ground." "Yes, commissioner." "Open the door!" "Don't open." "Open the door, ma'am." "There's nothing here." "Get out, in the name of the law." "Hey, buddy, you haven't seen a blonde boy, maybe... my height...?" "Let's head off." "There's nobody here." "What's going on here?" "Climb on the roofs." "Check in the cellars!" "No, no!" "Careful, a shot!" "They've shot at the commissioner." "Don't let him escape, catch him!" "Guard the commissioner!" "Close all the exits." "The assassin's here...up there!" "Everyone up!" "Help, for God's sake!" "I heard something there --- up to the roofs!" "There's no one here." "Keep looking, he has to be there." "Christian charity!" "Check in the inn." "Hands against the wall, quickly!" "He came in here." "Whoever shot the commissioner has to be one of these." "Check everyone, he has to have the gun." "Get up there." "We haven't seen anything." "Is there anyone else?" "Anyone up there?" "What were you doing?" "Search everywhere!" "Look up there well." "He has to be here." "He killed one of the commissioner's guards!" "It's the Red Eagle!" "Shoot!" "After him!" "Hurry up!" "Surround him!" "Reload!" "Attack him, you cowards!" "There's no one here." "What happened here?" "The Red Eagle, sir." "He helped him escape." "She doesn't want it, she's ordered that she not be bothered." "How strange, have you seen who was with her?" "She left in person to receive him." "Nobody saw him?" "That's a big fish." "But very bold!" "Catalina..." "What scare you've given me, I nearly dropped the bottle." "Juan has asked me to marry him." "Yeah, you already knew that." "Margarita, I know you." "Tell me you told him yes." "Yes!" "Great, Margarita has finally decided!" "We must hurry to organize the wedding." "We'll do something simple." "Well, don't worry, we'll work something out." "Where will you both live?" "Because when the youngsters start to arrive...how many kids will you have?" "Catalina, talk about putting the cart before the horse." "It's still too early to think about that." "Very soon, she says..." "How evident it is that you're a newbie!" "Housing is essential,... and the neighborhood is totally expensive." "And you can't live in Gonzalo's place." "Good..." "Good night." "I'll escort you home." "We were talking about where to live." "I don't know whether you're aware that we're ruined." "Lenders are putting the boot in." "And surely, people are struggling..." "No, relax, Catalina." "We already have a home." "How do we have a house?" "And since when?" "Well, I know of a site in the suburbs." "By coincidence, I wanted to ask you if you're willing to go with me to see it tomorrow." "Tomorrow would be just fine for me!" "I'm offering to help." "You are still very innocent." "What time will we go?" "Good God, this won't stop bleeding!" "I'm bleeding to death!" "I think I'm done for!" "Sátur!" "Have I killed you, Sátur?" "It's nothing, kiddo." "Careful with the wound, boy!" "Red Eagle saved me!" "He jumped off the roof." "Sorry, Sátur, where did I hurt you?" "Right in the bull's-eye --- good shot, boy." "Father, I did something horrible." "He's left me a eunuch." "I shot at the commissioner." "What?" "He killed Mom and you were doing nothing, so I had to!" "Alonso, violence isn't the way forward." "Your mother's killer is already dead, so drop it." "He was executed, he was one of the nobles who conspired against the king." "Alonso, son, this is very important:..." "Did anyone see you fire off a round?" "Sure?" "~ Sátur?" "~ No!" "I got this burn when I shot, from the powder." "Master, if you can,..." "I need help, I'm bleeding to death." "Run, get water to clean the wound, hurry!" "Come on, lay down!" "What are you doing?" "Why do you keep lying to the kid?" "It was the commissioner who killed your wife." "What are you thinking?" "You realize my son has been waving around a weapon?" "Did I realize, you say?" "The kid is brave,... he wanted to do something for his mother." "Careful, by God, Master!" "Quiet, Sátur, the bleeding's stopped." "It's just a scratch." "There's something I don't understand." "Why not kill him yourself?" "If you had a chance..." "Because he's my brother." "I forgive you your sins, daughter." "In the morning I have an audience at the royal palace." "I'd heard that some people have come from Italy just to see me." "But why come back after so many years?" "Each thing at its turn,... but first I have to talk with the king." "Lucrecia, I have to ask a very important favor." "Sure." "If it's in my power." "And what is it?" "You'll find out tomorrow." "What's going on?" "Let's get out of here!" "Don't hurt us, please!" "Murillo!" "Quickly!" "Move!" "I'm going to ask a very simple question." "If you answer it, you can go back home in peace." "Who shot at me?" "It's impossible that no one saw anything." "Don't look at me, commissioner,..." "I saved your life." "Did you see anything?" "How much more would I'd like to see of that wretch... who shot at me." "I don't want the ins and outs." "If you find him, send him to me." "Excuse me, commissioner,..." "I'm going to turn your lives into a living hell... until we nab who did it." "You can be sure of that." "It's unfortunate that you'll have to suffer so much... just to arrive at the same place." "The commissioner is a filthy beast... my son's still trembling." "Not to mention the door, who's going to pay for that?" "Someone has to control this bastard." "I wouldn't like to be the one who shot at him... because he'll be flayed to within an inch of his life." "Well, we're going to mind our own business --- there's nothing else we can do." "Maybe it's none of my business, but how much farther is it?" "We still have some leeway." "You don't mind that the house is in the suburbs?" "Me?" "No!" "If you've got four walls and a roof,..." "I'd be quite satisfied." "My love, no, not just whatever!" "The important things: a decent house, no rats, and that the roof is supported... that the windows close, and the door opens --- the basics." "I think it has the basics, all right." "Who would imagine!" "The seamstress and the doctor." "How happy I am, Margarita!" "We're going to have a wedding that's top-of-the-line." "Yes, as long as you have a house on the top-of-a-hill..." "You own only the clothes you're wearing, if you'll forgive my intrusion." "Make way for Cardinal Mendoza!" "Thank you..." "It's Cardinal Mendoza, a fine gentleman." "Charity is a great virtue, my daughter,... but to give them gold coins seems a bit excessive." "His Majesty is expecting me." "Coachman, quickly!" "He's been living in the Vatican for a long time but now has returned." "And how do you know all that?" "because I pay attention, and many things can be heard at the palace." "And I remain discrete." "What nerves!" "The first time I went to see a house with Floro..." "I almost pissed myself." "Don't look at me with such hate,..." "I have my reasons, Gonzalo." "Come on in." "Who is my true family?" "I can't tell you." "Quit with the games, Augustín." "You've been manipulating me all this time." "Why?" "I want answers." "You'll have to kill me." "I can't say anything, I'm not authorized." "Authorized?" "Authorized by whom?" "This case is overweaning, and it's much more important than you think." "Augustín, tell me who I am!" "Who am I?" "Have I been mourning for parents who weren't really mine?" "Do you understand?" "It's all lies!" "~ Help me!" "~ I can't, not this time." "At least tell me who my mother was." "At least give me her name!" "Laura." "Your mother was named Laura." "Why did they kill her?" "Meet me this evening in the forest." "Augustín, don't leave me without answers." "You're going to learn something, brat!" "We're shut!" "I can't believe that everything happened in your inn, yet you saw nothing!" "Arrest him." "His Eminence, Cardinal Mendoza." "Your Majesty." "Welcome home, my friend." "It's an honor to be at your service once again, your Majesty." "Come, I want to show you something." "Leave us." "Velásquez." "A shame about this plague which is killing him." "My family." "I still don't know where to put it." "Tell me, what news do you have from Rome?" "I'm afraid things aren't good, your Majesty." "The Vatican bears the stink of immorality and corruption." "The Pope is very ill." "He'll die soon." "The Church will need a new Pope." "It won't be easy --- the right candidate must embody so many qualities." "I am that candidate." "How come?" "I am prepared to bear the burden of this responsibility,... with the support of your Majesty, of course." "What you're asking is impossible." "I don't even think of bucking the Vatican,... they're helping so much in the matter of Portugal." "and then there are my alliances throughout Europe." "If I may say so, maybe you should reconsider this decision, your Majesty." "I won't reconsider,..." "I am the king." "Only I'm convinced that a new Pope... from Spain in Rome... will be very helpful to your Majesty." "It would be convenient, in this regard, that you be on my side." "A horrible crime of sad memory." "A past like this should not be exposed to the light of day." "So the stability of the kingdom depends on your support." "A masterpiece, without a doubt,... but that's not your family,... not all of it." "Some people are missing." "You ought to protect this with your life." "One of your sons is very close to the truth." "Do you grant me your permission to tell him who he really is?" "No one can attack authority." "The poor nobody defends." "And if that person had been a noble, what then?" "No one would yank him out of bed." "The commissioner just does his work." "If it had been me, I would have hanged the lot of you." "The commissioner only wields justice." "Justice doesn't exist." "Justice does exist!" "You're saying that he's right?" "Alonso, what would you do if someone hurt a friend of yours?" "Kill him?" "That's just what the commissioner does." "Be careful --- watch out." "Make sure you don't become someone just like him." "And if someone'd killed your mother?" "That's justice?" "No." "But if you keep on killing, and the son of one of your dead kills someone else... and so on, only one thing will happen:..." "No one will be left --- no mothers, no children." "Only hatred." "Come on and sit down." "Son, the killer of your mother is dead,... and it's time to let it drop." "I'll never be able to forget her!" "Hey, Master!" "The commissioner has taken in Cipri for questioning." "Relax, he doesn't know anything." "If he knew anything he would have said so last night." "I'm sure that one hasn't seen anything." "Cipriano will spend the day in prison, that's all." "Master, if you stir things up, you'll only make them worse." "So relax." "There must be a mistake, commissioner..." "I haven't done anything." "Quiet, innkeeper." "We're only going to chat for a while." "Sure, commissioner, but..." "I invite you to the inn with a good wine..." "Here we'll be more at ease." "Commissioner, I didn't see anyone come in." "I still haven't asked you that." "But I want you to know it's so." "The tavern was full, you saw that." "And I was carrying jugs of wine upstairs and jugs of wine downstairs." "Nothing out the ordinary, then?" "Not at all." "Trust me on this." "Lots of drinking, you see..." "Very well." "Are you sure you're not lying, that you're telling the truth?" "No, of course not, commissioner." "I'd never lie to you, I have respect for authority." "You know that." "Can I go now?" "Thank you, commissioner." "You're lying." "Your hands are trembling and you're sweating like a pig." "No, please!" "I don't know anything." "Don't hurt me, please!" "Pain is part of life." "You've got to buy another horse, since this house is so far off..." "More expense!" "Well, don't get too worried, I'll speak with the blacksmith and see if he can provide us with a donkey, at least." "Hey, what do we do about the Marquesa?" "Well, today with all our comings and goings, we've run through the day." "Don't worry, I've spoken with her and it's all arranged." "Margarita, you already know I'm here for you." "Take this." "It's not much but it may help." "Catalina, you're worse off than I am!" "May you have a good day..." "What polite people we have here, right?" "Well, people of the countryside are much more humble." "Whoa!" "Well --- we've arrived." "Arrived where?" "Juan, they have hired us here?" "You as a doctor and me as a seamstress?" "Juan, tell me for God's sake." "Lord Juan, what a joy to have you here again." "The lord of what?" "It's a pleasure, Rodrigo!" "Have you prepared everything?" "Yes, Lord Juan." "My name is Juan de Calatrava,..." "Duke of Velasco y Fonseca,... noble of Spain,... the owner and lord of all this land." "Catalina!" "I don't know why must I dress like this." "It's even worse if it's just to meet a curate!" "It's not a curate --- rather, it's Cardinal Mendoza... a very important person indeed." "I prefer to command in town, like the commissioner." "They shot at him yesterday, I heard the news at school." "Do you know if he's alright?" "I think so." "Are you going to invite him to dine today, too?" "Now is not the time to talk of this." "Madam..." "Your Eminence..." "Marquesa..." "My son Nuño." "Nuño..." "What's the favor?" "Frankly, your Eminence, you have me in ashes." "It's right in front of you." "My niece Irene." "I want her to live here in this palace for a while with you." "Gladly." "I didn't know you had family." "Don't worry, my dear, things will be just fine here with us." "We'll present you to everyone, we'll go to all the parties..." "First, though, you must get used to living in this household." "Escort Irene to the guest rooms, quickly." "Well, then, no parties?" "So parties aren't really her thing." "Any further advice?" "Irene is accustomed to living among nuns in a convent,... where they lead strict lives." "It would be best if she doesn't go out until I order it." "Then she's come to the right palace." "You've got a very elegant dress there." "I made it just for your eyes." "Thank you." "So the friar didn't say anything?" "Only that my mother was named Laura." "But the commissioner is your brother, that's for sure." "Of the same mother and father,... of the same blood." "How creepy is that, master?" "Let's see if I got it straight: they first killed your mother,... and then they separated the brothers... and later the brother killed your wife,... who was his sister-in-law,... and then, your son... took a shot at his uncle." "What drama in your family, Master." "Augustín will give us the answers we need." "I hope so." "God!" "Master, I know it's not relevant to your case or even very important,... but not all that long ago, every morning I'd get up... so hard that I could make a hole in the wall." "Have you got problems with pissing?" "No, I think I haven't explained myself well." "I can't rise the flag." "Even if I concentrate..." "It's not going up." "You've got problems with erections?" "No, not that." "The thing is I'm not getting any." "If you take away the one joy you have left... you can see..." "Augustín should already be here." "Don't worry, he will have gone to ask permission, from whomever it is." "Master!" "It's blood!" "Who shot at me?" "I don't know." "I swear, I don't know." "Dunk him." "Commissioner,..." "Raise him." "In the end, you forced me to come here to find you." "It's my workplace." "They told me they shot at you last night." "You already know who it was?" "No, but I'm on it." "What do you want?" "That things went back to how they were before." "Nuño misses you very much." "Let's end this once and for all." "Dunk him!" "No, please!" "Back into the air." "Let him suffer some more!" "A child, it was a child!" "It was a child?" "What child?" "I don't know." "You neither, right, Master?" "I haven't slept a wink all night." "I dreamed all the time about the friar hanging there." "I'm sorry, he was like a father to you, wasn't he?" "But don't worry because he'll pass on to a better life." "In heaven, I mean to say." "Since he was a friar..." "I still don't understand why they killed him." "And with such blind fury." "The matter has to be huge to have people going around crucifying other people." "Master, hey, who are you?" "I don't know,... and I suspect I'll never get to know." "The sky is like a map,... but you only have to know how to read it." "Look, there's Polaris." "It shows which way is north." "With it in view you're never lost." "You're a sage." "About you, Gonzalo, yes, I know everything about you, indeed." "Remember that: you'll always find the answers in me." "Careful!" "You've saved my life!" "~ Are you alright?" "~ Yes." "You always show up when I need you again." "Well, it's nothing, I'd do it for anyone." "That's not true." "From childhood on, you've taken care of me and guided me --- why?" "You're a good boy, Gonzalo,... but keep this in your head:... you'll always find the answers in me." "You tell me that all the time,... and I never understand." "You'll understand when the time comes." "I have to examine Augustín's body." "Let's go, surely they're still at his funeral wake." "What?" "No, no way." "You already saw it as it was, stiffer than a staff, the poor guy." "Besides that, if I see it again, I won't sleep a wink all night." "And then, besides that, there's my problem with my wedding tackle..." "Oh, God, this is messing with my head!" "I'm hearing voices, Master." "Don't get absent minded again." "Can you hear singing, or am I going mad?" "¤ When the clouds conceal the sun,..." "¤ and the way defeats your feet... ¤ if the wind is burning the skin of your face..." "¤ always remember I'm waiting for you. ¤" "She sings just like Mother." "¤ When you hear the heat of battle... ¤ or if you see a friend fall..." "¤ if the blood... ¤" "Gonzalo, I didn't hear you." "Cristina used to sign this song." "Yeah, Mom taught us that when I was small." "How are things with Juan?" "Just fine." "Well, surprised, since it turns out he has a palace." "Out in the suburbs along with all the other palaces, right?" "Isn't that all for the better?" "Yeah, I guess." "We'll see." "Master, you're either very silly or very holy... to stop trying to keep a woman like her from escaping." "Have you finished with your prayer?" "Don't look at me like that." "My house isn't a convent and I'm not a Mother Superior." "You're old enough to see the world of adults." "Come with me." "Oh, for God's sake!" "Horrible." "But how can you breathe with these necks?" "It's what I've always worn." "Take this out, I don't like these." "What do you see?" "I don't know, just me." "We live in a man's world, dear... it's not enough to feed them and raise their children... or look after their small sword." "That's what's unique to us, my dear." "Conceal it while you can." "Unfortunately, it doesn't last forever." "Excuse me for a minute." "I don't want to interrupt your mourning,... but what exactly are we doing here?" "Looking for answers." "But what are you doing?" "I already know that you're very worried, but... this can't be done, it's a heresy." "I have to know who I am." "This is why you're getting him naked?" "The pain is dulling your senses." "Don't you see that Augustín's dead... what answers can he give you, man?" "He always told me to come to him... and that's what I'm doing." "Master, I'm worried about you." "worried a lot." "It's one thing to give him a goodbye as God commands, but quite something else..." "Help me turn him over, come on!" "In spite of the bond I used to have with him..." "I'm going to miss even the scars he used to give me." "On the other side." "What's written there?" "Even God can't understand it." "It's written in Chinese." "This means "your origin"." "You know Chinese?" "And these stars... are the escutcheon of the Carmelites." "Sátur, we have to go to this convent." "Help me." "Thanks for everything, Augustín." "Thank you." "Go with God, Father." "Hide, they've said it was a child, quickly --- the commissioner's coming." "Run!" "Let me go!" "Grab them." "I want all these brats locked up by the end of the day." "Ma'am, open the door!" "Run!" "No, not here!" "Don't let any house go unsearched!" "Let me go!" "They're coming for me, they know it was me!" "They're looking for a boy but they don't know who." "Sir, who are we looking for?" "Check their hands,... novice gunmen don't know how to shoot." "The brat who tried to kill me must have a burn right here... on one of his hands." "~ Catch the bastard." "~ Yes, sir." "Let's go, quickly!" "Ma'am, open the door!" "He's going to find me." "He's going to find me and kill me." "Don't say that." "The convent's in ruins!" "Calm down, Saturno,... there's no reason to panic." "Master!" "Master, are you there?" "What a fright!" "What on Earth is he doing?" "Master!" "What a shock!" "One day I'll bust a gut, man." "Nothing over there." "~ Have you discovered something?" "~ Yes... that I don't like anything about convents... and if there aren't any novices, it's even worse." "If Augustín sent us here, he did so for a reason." "And if those who killed him were the same ones that tattooed him?" "To grab you!" "No one but you knows of my relationship with him." "The tattoo hints at the origin and it points to this convent." "Maybe what he was saying is that it's his origin." "Remember that Father Augustín was a curate." "What's going on?" "Hey, Master, wait --- where are you going?" "We don't know who it is." "I need your help." "Don't touch this!" "Master, don't touch that!" "Cipriano!" "They wouldn't let me see you, Cipriano!" "What have they done to you, my love?" "~ Run!" "~ Guards!" "Let me go!" "~ Let's go!" "~ What good aim, Alonso!" "Are you going to tell me what's going on?" "Nothing." "Why do you ask that?" "Because since we arrived yesterday, you haven't said a word." "Don't you like the house?" "No, it's not that." "Of course I like it, I've never seen such a grand home in all my life!" "It's only that somehow I was picturing something different." "Well, if you don't like the furnishings, we can redecorate... exactly to your taste." "Juan, it's..." "I'd be more comfortable with a more humble abode... like I've had all my life." "Like that?" "Gonzalo has nothing to do with this,... it's only that I wasn't expecting it, that's all." "Juan, I won't be able to change from a servant to the lady of the manor overnight." "No, and don't do it,... you're perfect just like you are." "Stop, the guard!" "The commissioner's gone nuts, he's arresting everyone!" "If you tried to kill him, you'd be better off dead." "~ If he finds him..." "~ Good God!" "Well, a noble of Spain with a button like this?" "Come while I stitch this for you." "~ I have to close the pharmacy... can you bring it later?" "~ Of course." "Where are you going like that?" "Where have you been?" "What's up with you?" "It's me who shot at the commissioner." "~ What!" "?" "~ Yeah, it was me." "Where's your Dad?" "No idea, he went out this morning." "The commissioner's looking for me, look!" "I have this burn mark!" "If he finds me, he'll kill me!" "I'm on it, buddy, relax!" "Hop onto the horse." "If you come with me, he'll kill you, too." "My love, get on the horse and we'll head off." "No, I don't know any Father Augustín." "~ And a man named Gonzalo de Montalvo?" "~ No." "~ Maybe Hernán Mejías, the commissioner in town?" "~ No." "You were born a cloistered nun?" "No, of course not." "But you don't know anybody!" "This woman hasn't been out of here since God knows when!" "Could you help me along?" "I'm getting old,... and sometimes I stumble." "I come here every day to bring flowers to the Mother Superior." "Why is that tomb there so different?" "She wasn't a nun, a friar brought her for a Christian burial... after she was already dead." "Do you remember the name of this woman?" "No, Lorena... ~ Lourdes...?" "~ Laura?" "Yes, she was named Laura." "Master, I share your feelings... it must be hard after all these years... to discover your mother like this." "Don't tell anyone you've seen me,... or I'm dead!" "You know what?" "When they brought this woman,... the convent had fallen into disgrace." "They killed all the sisters... the only ones left alive were the baby and me." "What baby?" "Laura's baby." "When she came here she was pregnant." "We helped her deliver... and she vanished... but she said she'd be back for the child." "You say she gave birth?" "Yes." "The next time we saw her,... the friar brought her here... and she was already dead." "Have you got another brother?" "What became of that baby?" "I left it in the orphanage in town." "I'm sorry!" "Don't leave!" "You should try one of these massages, they're delightful!" "Catalina, don't be a prude." "Come closer." "No one knew that Cardinal Mendoza had family." "Where did you come from?" "I was born in a small village near Toledo." "Very well." "And your parents, who are they?" "I never knew them,... the Cardinal never told me anything about them,... he said it was better if I let it drop." "They were sinners and led a horrible life." "The Cardinal is always so moral... --- ow, Catalina!" "What's wrong with you today?" "Farther down." "Not with your nails!" "Will you be in town for long?" "As long as my uncle and God consider right." "I don't think God has anything to do with it." "You may retire." "Continue, Catalina, farther down." "It's none of these, let them go." "What reason would a kid have for killing me?" "You, let's go, move it, go home to your mother." "I don't have a mother, she was executed." "I've got nowhere to go." "I haven't done anything, please, let me out of here!" "There's no one here." "There aren't any horses." "Hey, have you seen a boy passing by here?" "Two men to Toledo!" "Everyone else, let's head back!" "Commissioner, look!" "Go back to town and wait there,..." "I have to take care of this matter by myself." "For me, life holds new surprises every day." "And yours --- it doesn't count." "You believed you were the only son..." "But it turns out you have brothers like mushrooms." "No." "As of today, my only family is my son... and Margarita... and you, too, Sátur." "You, too." "Let's go!" "What happened here, Master?" "What happened?" "Cipri,..." "Cipri, what happened?" "Who did this?" "The commissioner's men." "I'm sorry, Gonzalo,..." "I couldn't help myself." "I couldn't help myself, I'm sorry." "Cipri, what?" "They came for your son." "What?" "What an awful day it's been!" "Stop right there!" "Halt!" "Stop!" "Quiet!" "Your Eminence..." "Thanks for coming..." "I have a new task for you." "But I already have my life,..." "I have a family." "Your whole life belongs to me." "Stop there!" "Stop for the guards!" "Quit it, you bastard, enough!" "Stop now!" "It's the Red Eagle!" "What good aim you have, Sátur!" "Where's the commissioner?" "!" "Hey, please, I'm going to puke..." "We're already safe here, my love..." "Where's your shoe?" "I don't know, it fell off." "Where?" "I don't know." "Fine, let's go." "No." "He'll kill you, too." "But what are you saying, Alonso?" "I'm not going to leave you alone." "Never." "Everything will be alright, kiddo." "All we have to do now is flee, as far away from the town as possible." "It's my fault, I don't want anything to happen to you." "Alonso, we don't have time for this,... we'll talk about it later." "You save yourself, I can handle things myself." "Alonso, everything's alright, and I won't leave you here alone." "So let's get moving and stop wasting time." "Mom!" "Mom!" "What is it?" "Run!" "No, please!" "So finally --- a reckoning!" "On your knees." "Kneel!" "Commissioner!" "Any more foolishness and I'll kill you first." "Aunt Margarita, I love you very much!" "Forgive me, and take care of Father." "He's going to be very angry with me." "Tell him I'm sorry." "Head down!" "Lower your head!" "Kill me, please!" "Do it quickly, please!" "Kill me, please!" "Out of the way!" "He spared their lives." "Inés!" "Matilde?" "Inés!" "Matilde!" "Father?" "Is he your father, the father you've never known?" "Yeah." "And this, this is the baby?" "You're the first person I've seen making a family map to learn who he is." "Don't you have any remembrances?" "No, just one image... that stopped me from killing my brother,... the commissioner." "Right, but I'm talking about your mother... about your real mother." "No." "You know what?" "Sometimes life bites you in the ass, giving you a prime set of problems,... and we chose... to hide them deep in our inner being,... but, when they escape, they truly fuck up our life." "So, if you go on this way... then there'll begin to appear nieces and nephews, more nephews, in-laws and more in-laws... you'll need the wall of a cathedral for the family map." "And what are we going to do with the commissioner?" "Now that he's spared Alonso, I'd say you're all square." "Now we have to decide what our mission is, if in fact we even have one..." "Yes, to find that baby." "We'll begin a search of the orphanages in town." "I knew it." "If I were in your boots, I'd just let it go." "Hey, you've seen how the older brother turned out." "At worst, the youngest one is just a son of a bitch." "I meant, twisted... revolting,..." "I shouldn't have ever said that!" "Who am I?" "That's precisely what I want to know!" "Who am I...who am I?" ""Yes, I'm going, Cipri." ""I'm sorry, try to find happiness."" "You like it?" "It's great!" "We're instituting a new tax to raise 3,000,000 Ducats." "Set a deadline and you'll have your millions." "His father and your aunt are going to get married!" "Bring everything here or you'll share his fate." "But you've already taken our entire harvest!" "I present to you your new daughter-in-law, Margarita." "We forbid you to marry that beggar." "I hope you know the price of deceiving the authorities." "~ My nephew!" "~ I have to find information about my brother." "I need to know why someone is so determined to keep me from finding any clue about my brother." "There are many things you don't know about me." "How high do you want to reach, Mendoza?" "!" "Only to the Vatican, your Majesty." "Justice to the people!"
