"I always forget that he is a heretic." "A very handsome heretic." "We can not allow that marriage." "What happens when the sin of the Infanta drags down an empire?" "The man accused my sister of heresy." "If the charge stands my sister is lost." "That father Ferran is my friend." "I can talk to him." "What do you want?" " That you change your statement." "The French said they are planning the wedding with the Princess of France." "Tell your friends I want my necklace or they'll be flayed." "·Write a few verses on the virtue of Teresa de Alquézar and of her husband." "We are prisoners in this fortress and you do not realize it." "This paper is not a diversion from the true faith it is a direct attack." "You lied." " I wasn't aware, María." "Shut up, Diego!" "Look into the eyes of the other." "You kill with the eyes." "That woman, Diego, that woman will end you." "I'd rather die." "Remember, María, to keep your guard high." "Episode 6:" "Among wolves." "What a surprise, señor Minister!" "Did you expect someone else?" "Yes" " Who, may I ask?" "Lucifer." "Not funny." " It's not a joke." "He always visits me at this hour." "To what do I owe this friendly interruption?" "His Eminence has been speaking to our princess about the interest that Prince Charles has in her." "Indeed." " The news from Madrid says that the wedding with the Spanish Infanta is a done deal." "What do you know that I do not?" "The same, but I interpret it differently." "The princess gets impatient and that means that the king is impatient and that's not good." " For whom?" "For anyone." " Don't worry." "Our Princess will become queen of England." "But Excellency..." "Shh." "My guest." "What are you saying?" "You have to be polite." "Oh, Lucifer!" "Lucifer, where have you been?" "Surely with some of the female cats of the Ursuline convent." "Is that Lucifer?" "Sure." "What did you think?" "Bah!" "Good afternoon." "Excellency the Duke of..." " I need to talk to your excellency." "Okay." "A glass, Duke?" "It's Maharaj, Seville." "An excellent wine." "King James wants the Prince to return to England." "What about the wedding?" " What wedding are you talking about?" "You carry on for weeks wasting my time." "At no time have you taken a clear step towards any wedding." "No one has said that it will not happen." "No, please, no more games!" "Games?" "As you know, Duke, the only reason for the delay - we have not received the papal dispensation." "This is what you do not stop repeating." "And until now I have believed." "Do you insinuate that I lie?" "No, I just want you to know that in my country" "There are many who would prefer a war than see their prince married to a Papist." "Three quarters of what is happening in Spain, Excellency." "I'll be clear." "If the prince does not return married with the infanta then war is inevitable." "I think there is a way to marry our young royals;" "no need to threaten war." "Tell me, then." "Before, you must swear to me that nothing that is said here will leave this office." "I swear." "I think, Don Francisco, you're exaggerating." "Exaggerating my balls, Copons!" "I'm short." "Spain is bleeding." "What does the king do?" "Write short works of theater and have parties for the English." "Do you think that these heretics will save us from ruin?" "Don Francisco, the walls have ears." "You're wasting your time." "Don Francisco won't shut up even under the water." "No, I won't be quiet." "I won't be quiet, by gad!" "I will not keep silent even though with the endeavor already topping your puckered forehead you foresee the silence and the fear dawns in you..." "Don Francisco." "I didn't know if I'd find you here but I heard your recitation from the street." "And now, if you please, I beg you to accompany me." "You have an appointment." " I don't remember having scheduled an appointment with anyone." "All the same, it's an appointment." "You don't take Don Francisco without saying where." "Come, Diego, do not fuck with me." "You know that I'm following orders." "Do not worry, Captain," "The Sheriff here will take care that nothing happens." "Right, Saldaña?" "Don Francisco..." "I'll come." " No, Captain." "It's not you they want to see." "With God, gentlemen." "Iñigo." "Where are you going?" "By your mercy, Captain." " No." "Why?" "Didn't you want to be a soldier?" "Well, obey." "Come in." "Leave us alone." "Don Francisco, in court many think that your poem about Alquézar should have cost you at least exile." "But it's in your hands that I turn a deaf ear to their claims." "I'm listening." "What I'm asking is a very delicate matter and therefore must be dispatched in the utmost secrecy." "At stake is the fate of Spain." "Of course, Excellency." "You can count on my discretion." "I want that you organize a plan to marry in secret the Infanta María and English prince." "I see you have perfectly understood my words." "But I'm just a poet." "There is no better candidate." "Of course it's needless to tell you that this meeting has never happened." "Of course, Excellency." "What is it, Captain?" "Today you're not meeting Charity?" "Disarm him." "Carefully." "I know him well." "I said carefully." "I did not expect to see you again so soon, Captain Alatriste." "A small world, Excellency." "What have you heard?" " Probably everything." "Your Excellency knows that I can easily forget." "If you'll allow me, Excellency," "I think the fact that the Captain" "Is aware of our plans is fortunate." "Why?" "Because we need another sword and tactitian." "And there's no one better than him around Madrid." "As you have heard, Captain." "From right now you are under the command of Don Francisco." "And I don't need to tell you that is paramount the safety of the Infanta." "You must not take any chances." "Of course, Excellency." "Don Francisco, I know that your worship is about to start rehearsing a play written by the king in the palace." "Seize this opportunity to speak to His Highness unnoticed." "And if you need help call on the Count of Guadalmedina." "In this, a grandee of Spain can not fail me." "Perfect, Excellency." "Get out of here." "I don't know whether to thank you." "Give me thanks when this is all finished." "If we're still alive." "Lady, you have a stain on your dress." "If I may." " Sure, Angelica." "You would do well to keep Angelica away, Your Highness." "She is not trustworthy." "She's young, Luisa, it is normal to sometimes make mistakes." "Deliberate errors." "Luisa, what you're saying is very serious." "On what do you base this accusation against Angelica?" "I think, Your Highness, she read the letters that you sent to Prince Charles." "Are you sure?" "Don't forget that she's the niece of Luis de Alquézar," "The right hand of the Count Duke." "In court they say that Don Luis has no higher master than his own interests." "Lady, I bring this one for tomorrow." "It is even more beautiful than the other." "Thank you, Angelica." "You can leave." "Luisa, help me undress." "But ma'am, I..." " If I need you I'll call you." "I have something for her highness." "What is it?" " It's from Prince Charles." "I don't know if I should read it." "It is a love poem." "To live is it enough for me to desire you." "To be happy, meet you." "And to see the world, ennoble you." " It's beautiful." "Isn't it too bold?" "It's love, and true love knows no daring." "Do you believe that he wrote it?" " Maybe, but it belongs to Lope." "Well, at least he has good taste." "You will marry according to the catholic ritual." "Once you return to England, an Anglican wedding." "Two weddings, then." "Highness." "I apologize, I did not know you were together." "Ask me." "When can we meet next?" "I'm afraid that will be impossible." "So, when?" "The best for us both would be to not see each other again." "But that's not possible." "I love you." "And I have loved you, Teresa." "But you are a married woman." "Believe me when I say that I'm doing you a favor." "I don't understand." "What's happened?" "Nothing's happened." "It's because of her, right?" "Because of that French." "Please Teresa." "We are not alone." "Comport yourself." "But..." "I have loved you?" "You are a great actor, Steeny." "I almost believed you." "Lords." "Excellency." "By gad, don Álvaro, they spent years negotiating the wedding and now they come rushing." "The first thing is to get the princess out of the palace." "I hope they don't intend that she will marry in the citadel." "No, that's impossible." "It is clear that the most difficult thing is to get her out of the palace." "For example, on Monday, first there's riding then dance, then prayers, then French lessons." "And then more prayers." "As well every day." "However this Friday..." "On Friday the Princess María goes riding with the Marquise de Hinojosa." "Where?" " Around his home." "Can they be trusted?" " No." "The Marquis de Hinojosa is contrary to the wedding." "Nothing will convince him to participate in this farce." "I imagine the palace of the Marquis will have a chapel." "Yes, it does." " The wedding could be held there." "The Infanta would leave the Citadel single and return married." "What about the Marquis?" "Give me six men." " Diego, this is not a war." "You can not plant yourself in the house of the Marquis and take it like a castle in Flanders." "Wait." "I think I know how we can get the help of the Marquis without resorting to arms." "What do you suggest?" "Is it true that he plays?" "Like a madman." "Three, four, five, six." "Sr. Conde, welcome." "Boy, a jug of wine for his excellency." "Come." " We are two." "Would you like a table?" "A game of Capadillo is about to start." "No, thanks." "We want to play at that table over there." "It's the Marquis de Hinojosa." "I'm terribly sorry but there is no room." "So I honor your den with my presence and that is how I'm treated?" "Of course it's an honor Your Excellency visits my modest place." "But understand me, Hinojosa and his friends have, for years." "Señor, I believe that you owe me an apology." "Are you speaking to me?" "Pray apologize." "To the Count?" " No, to me." "Don't you know who I am?" "Please, gentlemen, please stop!" "Diego, it's not the time." "Sorry." "Apology accepted." "Come on, Count, return to the game." "Marquis." " Excellency." "I think I know how you are going to get into that game." "Good morning, señora." "Could we talk for a minute?" "Alone." "News has arrived from the Vatican regarding your marriage." "The Holy Father has said yes?" "I fear that we are worse off than ever." "Not only that, King James wants the prince back with him." "Sick and afraid to die before his son returns to see him." "However, if Rome sees the obligation to give a yes..." "I don't understand." "Who can force the Pope?" "You see, if your Highness and the Prince married secretly..." "A secret wedding?" "Are you mad?" "The Holy Father could not do anything but give his blessing." "I'm an Infanta of Spain." "I will not marry without the permission of the Pope." "Before that, I'd take the vows of a nun." "Your attitude honors you, but know that your wedding would do more for the Catholic cause than 30 years of war." "The prince is willing to convert to Catholicism." "Are you sure?" "He has sworn it to me." "And my brother knows?" "The King knows and celebrates, Highness." "If so, tell the prince that I accept." "Highness, you're doing a great service to your brother, to his kingdom, and our religion." "I ask discretion, Highness." "You should not discuss it with the king." "We can not compromise him more than he is already." "Okay." "We'll finish now, father." "Do not worry, woman." "Here this way I take profit of the occasion to releave myself." "And the captain?" "Working." "Working on what?" "I can't say." "I can only tell you it's important and is engaged with bold people." "Tell me the truth." "Is he with the actress?" "It's too tight here, too." "No, you do not have the face of a pimp." "Will you have it ready for tomorrow?" " What do you think?" "Go change and bring it down to me." "What's the matter, Charity?" "What, I have a face?" " No, no pouting." "Also what happens to you is not seen on the face." "Where else do you look?" " In the soul." "I did not know that the soul was visible." "In some people it's not only seen, it even talks." "And is it possible to know what it says to you?" "Again, the captain." "Maybe." " What happened?" "You'll no longer have to pray for me, father." "From now on I'm in no risk of going to hell." " Why's that?" "Look, father, tonight I don't want sermons so if you mind your business, and I mine, all will be happy." "As you wish." "Father." "Thanks." "Take off that stunned face, Iñigo, it shows how recently you've arrived in town." "Iñigo." " Excuse me." "You do understand what you have to do, right?" "And another thing, you speak only if spoken to." "Listen to me, no flies will enter a closed mouth." "Louis." "Wait a minute." "This is Iñigo Balboa, the boy I told you about." "Here." "Give me that." "He'll teach you about the props." "Go with him." "Wake up!" "Do you have everything you need, Don Francisco?" "Everything is ready, Excellency." "It will be tomorrow in the private chapel of the Marquis de Hinojosa." "And the Marquis?" "Glad to cooperate." "Perfect." "Well, now it's all in your hands." "I hope the next time we talk is at a wedding." "So we shall, Excellency." "It turns out that these two are up to something." "See if you can find out what they are plotting." "Do not worry, uncle, if there is anything I will know it." "Don Francisco." "Can we start the rehearsal?" "Of course, Majesty." "You again?" " Do we know each other?" "Teach some respect to this ruffian." "Stupid as well as rude." "You must know that I am the Count de Benavides." "I see you have forgotten the familiarity." "Quiet, no one dies of a pin prick." "Put something on it, idiot, he'll bleed like a pig." "Who is to protect a poor woman alone?" "Never so rightful the pity than when felt for a ... !" "For who can it be be, María?" "A widow." "Ah, yes, yes, sorry, now I remember." "No matter." "It does not matter." "Breathe, Highness, and continue from "What a pity..."." "So rightful the pity when felt for a widow!" "For if a woman is single" "And... and... widow, María, widow." "What's going on today?" "You are in the clouds." "Sorry, ma'am, I do not know what's wrong." "Leave us alone." "Maybe it's nerves." "Majesty, you and I will read it slowly." "You are very handsome in those clothes." "You and I are friends, right?" "Depends." "I want you to tell me what Quevedo's up to with His Excellency the Count Duke." "You should understand that Don Francisco does not tell me such things." "But you could find out." "I bet you can." "Could." "And you'll do it, because we are friends." "Maybe I will." "Maybe?" "I will." "Meet me tomorrow at the same time." "I hope you will have news for me." "Bam." "To the heart." "I know, in your club there are games in which" "Alvaro de la marca, grandee of Spain, can not play." "Excuse me, Your Excellency." "It has not been easy but I managed to get access to the game of Count de Hinojosa." "You've done it?" "Tell me whether or not I am a lucky man." "If you'll accompany me..." " One second." "If you do not mind playing with this deck." "Your Excellency, in my house?" "Once again you want to grab everybody's attention calling me a cheat?" "But Excellency, how can you even think that?" "Diego." "Will this suffice?" "All were in front of him." "A second of silence." "He drew and... zap, zap, zap!" "It's over." "I was seen and not seen." " Did he kill them?" "Of course, boy, it was him or them." "And you, how many men have you killed?" "Me?" "One or none." "Really?" "A few." "Too many." "In war you lose count." "In peace, even more so." "Charity, wine!" "And when are you going to fight again?" "I heard that they're reforming the Legion." "They say it will reignite the war with Flanders." "I hope so." "I want to be a soldier like you and the captain." "You don't know what you're saying, lad." "Blood, mud, death and misery." "That's a soldier." "Remember your father." "So why did you become a soldier?" "Because it is better to be blown up there than to die of hunger here." "As the captain." "Like your father." "Like all." "Man, father!" "Good afternoon on behalf of God." "That is what you men do best, go killing in the farthest country and leave behind your wives." "You know why they do it?" "Because this scares them more that that." "That's why." "Listen, Charity, maybe it's just my imagination, but... you've fought with Captain?" "To fight with him I'd first need to see him." "I don't suppose you saw him here?" "That's it." "Boy, trust me on one thing." "Never fall in love." "Hey... 'And this color?" "Blood of Christ, the kid is showing his talents." "Leave me alone, Sebastian." "We must start thinking about taking him to the whores." "Sebastian, he's a boy!" " Well, that's why I said it." "Gentlemen: do we bet slowly or play a thrust?" "What a mess!" "I do not understand María." "If she wants to be in the stage play she'll have to know the script." "It is not typical of her Majesty." "She looked very worried." "I don't know what's wrong." "She's very distracted." "There is no choice, we have to keep rehearsing." "Excuse me." "Madame de Brissac, what a surprise!" "Majesty, forgive my boldness, but I've been told how upset you were with the rehearsal and I bring a gift to soothe you." "News travels fast!" "It's beautiful." "Oh, and I bring regards to you from your brother, the king, my lord." "And a request." " What is my brother's wish?" "You see, Majesty, King Louis looks favorably upon a marriage of Infanta María with a Dauphin of France." "Who?" "With Gaston, perhaps?" "But the Infanta is already engaged to the Prince of Wales!" "Sure, Majesty, but you know, high politics..." "What do women know of that?" "Nothing, dear." "If you'll excuse me, back to reading." "Have we finished, or your worship has more to lose?" "No, no, no, it can not be!" "It is impossible, impossible, it must be these..." "Leave me, leave me!" "You have cheated." "You have cheated." "Are you calling me a cheat?" " I am." "It's the softest thing I can think to call you." "Your Grace chooses how this game ends." "And as I see it you have two options:" "die here, now, or hear what I have to say." " I'm listening." "You have a way to recover everything you lost." "Are you interested?" "I'm greatly interested." "Good." "Highness, be still for a moment so I can unbutton your dress." "It was horrible, Luisa." "It is normal to be nervous, your highness." "One does not get married every day." "Do you think that tomorrow I can wear the diadem from my mother?" "Of course, Highness." "It's beautiful." "Oh, I don't know!" "Perhaps something more discreet." "This is all crazy... wonderful." "Hide the headband." "Come in." "Highness." "The queen sent me to tell you that she wants to rehearse again tomorrow." "Tomorrow when?" " At five in the afternoon." "I can not." "I have a commitment." "Your Highness will not want to offend the queen." "Of course not." "Luisa, I trust only in you." "Lords." "Excellency" "The Queen has organized a rehearsal at the same time that the princess had planned to visit her cousin." "Well, you will tell me what to do." "Advance it all." " How?" "Instead of afternoon tea at her cousin's, the princess will have lunch." "There is no other solution." "Tell His Highness everything is moved ahead to 12 noon." "And the English?" "Is there a way to tell them?" "I'll deal with it." "Thank you, Louise." "You're doing a great service for your Infanta." "I don't like it." "You should notify the Count Duke." "No, the less he knows, the better." "You know the orders." "All this I think will be very useful for a new comedy that I'm writing." "I don't know if the Queen will like it." "Lady." " May I know what you were doing?" "I doubted if I should come in because I saw you were together." "What did you want?" " I wanted to know if Your Excellency's coming to bed." "I'm cold." "I have work." "You can go." "As you wish." " Don't come tomorrow." "Your worships will excuse me." "I want to know where she goes." "Follow her." "Grace." "Tell me, daughter, what is so urgent that you had to see me?" "My sister Agnes can not bear any more." "I beg your mercy grant her the grace you promised." "You also promised me something you have not yet provided." "And I guess now you come to pay part of the debt you owe me." "It's the Count." "Today he has met with Francisco de Quevedo." "Continue, my child." "Aren't you a long way from home?" " I've come to ask after my sister." "You were spying on us, and now I find you seeing Bocanegra." "You know I would never do anything to compromise you." "Never?" "Diego, please." "For your life and mine I hope you're not lying to me." "I swear by the life of my sister." "I swear I did not say anything." "You're hurting me." "You'll die." "I've never killed a woman." "Nothing new?" "Nothing." "I don't think I need to remind you that you have a mission." "I know, and I told you that there is nothing new." "About what did you speak with the English, if you did speak?" "Some nonsense." "What kind of nonsense?" "Nothing." "Luis, please leave this." "What do you mean?" "The Duke." "My mission." "You started it." "I was wrong, and you do not know how sorry I am." "I've been a fool." "Luis..." " What?" "I love you." "Look, Teresa," "There are words that between you and I make no sense." "I'm sure you don't cry for me, but for him." "It has been for her, for this slut." "Win back the favor of the Duke or you'll be confined to a convent." "Ave María gratia plena Dominus tecum." "Highness, I came as soon as I could." "Eminence, I need confession." " At this hour?" "Alright." "Ave María Purisima." "Sine concepta macula." "Tell me what you told the princess?" " I don't understand." "Stop playing dumb." "You told her something against me." "This conversation is pointless." "What are you doing?" " Luisa, you don't want me as your enemy." "I'm not afraid." " Well, you should be." "What is happening?" " Nothing important." "A problem with one of the maids." "Come on." "The first thing you have to do is set up the stage." "And then you work on cleaning the gun." "Don Francisco." "This is crazy, it can not work out." "Please have confidence, Highness." "Everything is perfectly arranged." "There is a carriage waiting for you with the guard." "Go ahead then." "Be it for the sake of turning them (English people) back to Catholicism." "Don Francisco." " Not this afternoon, Iñigo." "Why?" " I have a lot of work." "Ay!" " What's wrong?" "It's this pin, it hurts me." "Can you fix it?" "I don't know." " It's very easy." "I'll guide you." "Does not it seem to you that the Infanta was very odd?" "Don't know, I don't know her well." " Oh!" "Sorry." " Be more careful." "What's happening, Iñigo?" "You promised you were going to tell me everything you know." "I do know something, but I don't think I can tell." "That's it." "Iñigo, please." "The princess is marrying." "How?" " With God." "What do you say?" " She wants to become a nun, not marry the prince." "Are you sure?" " Yes." "The Count Duke has asked Don Francisco to make every effort to change her mind." "Of course, that's why they went with so many secrets." "Thank you." "Olivares will burn in hell for this." "Is an abominable, abominable plan." "It is." "How did your grace find out?" "That's none of your business." "I can only say that the source is legitimate." "And you have not been able to find out." "My informants have failed me." " Your informants are worthless." "And I'm thinking that your grace is likewise." "Sorry to keep disappointing you." "You haven't disappointed me, but God." "But with His mediation, we will avoid" "Olivares condemning the soul of our Infanta and with it that of Spain." "Lord." "Your Grace." "Malatesta." "Everything is in place, Grace." "Shit, Sebastian!" "Did you wash?" "This is how to go to a wedding, right?" "Although this matter gives me a bad feeling." "Why?" "There are too many important people abreast." "Simply open one mouth and we all finish hanging." "Nothing new." "Nothing new." "What happened yesterday?" " She went directly home." "I'll wait for news in the Palace." "Diego." "Go with God." "And with the devil." "Excellency." " At last, Captain." "Finally." "Uncle, I was looking for you." "I entrusted a task to you and you have not done it." "You're wrong." "I know what's happening." "Tell me, then." "The princess wants to become a nun." "Are you completely sure about that?" "Yes, the source is very reliable." "And who is that source, if I may ask?" "I've promised not to divulge the name." "I can only say it is someone close to the poet." "But I assure you that it will pass confirmation." " Of course." "They are marrying, Angelica." "That's what's happening." "Your source has lied to you." "You didn't find out anything." "Nothing." "You're beautiful, lady." "Excellency." "These are the guests." "Stay alert." "I was looking for you, don Francisco." "How are you?" "Well, much better, now that our princess has finally gone." "Where has she gone?" "Where?" "To be married." "But wasn't everything planned for this afternoon?" "Yes, we had to advance everything." "because it turns out that the queen has a rehearsal this afternoon of our beloved king's stage play." "You made decisions without my knowledge?" "We advanced things a bit." "Everything is going as planned." "As planned by your grace, not by me." "Don Manuel." "How can you believe I was going to consent to that wedding?" "You don't understand anything, Don Francisco, nothing." "Tell the chief guard to come immediately." "The wedding was just a ploy to keep the English distracted." "This couldn't have happened at a worse time!" "Go with a party of 30 men to the palace of Hinojosa and bring the princess back quickly." "God!" "It's a trap." "No, no, no!" "We have unfinished business, Captain." "Sorry, but I have other more urgent matters." "My sword!" "Luisa!" "Cover us." " Easy, captain." "What do we do, Captain?" "We have to run." "I don't have time for you." "You and you, cover me." "Devil captain!" "You with me." "I need to rest!" "Highness, we must continue." "You are in danger." "Alatriste, we'll rest now." "You have to get to the palace soon." "Please!" "Let's get the marriage over with." "What do you mean?" "We should get married now." "That's a great end to this adventure." "This is not an adventure, it is hell." "No, no." "For the first time we are free." "My father is not here." "Your brother is not here, the Pope is not here." "Just us" "and love." "Infanta," "Marry me." "I'm the happiest man in the world." "Please." "A hermit lives very near here." "Don't waste any more time." "Good boy." "Thank you!" "Shit!" "These people would have finished by killing you." "I know, and we can never thank you enough for the service you have rendered to the crown of Spain." "Yes you can, yes." "We can not stay here." "Come on." "How long has it been since they left?" "It is two hours, Excellency, surely the guard has already intercepted them." "What if they do not, you know what situation you leave me in?" "You know what situation your worship is in?" "Finally found you, Don Francisco." "Majesty." " We need to talk." "It is about the Infanta." "The poor thing is unable to learn two verses, one after another." "Francisco will gladly review the work." "Right, Don Francisco?" " Sure, of course." "Majesty, I will reduce the text." "I thank you." "You don't know where she is?" "Hello." "Hello, is anyone here?" "Look." "This means he will eat soon." "Hello." "Inside." "Don't take a step further." " Aye aye." "Come on." "Alatriste, do you hear me?" "I hear." "I propose a deal." "Release the Infanta." "I give you my word that I will take her to the citadel." "Do you believe him?" "No." "I'm a murderer, I'm not crazy." "I speak of an Infanta of Spain." "You don't want to end up dancing on a string." "The Infanta will not come to harm." "Although I can not say the same of your worship or your companion." "What do we do?" "There is no more than to cross swords." "And trust in God." "Highness, you stay here." "Forgive me." "I love you." "And I you." "What did you decide?" "Be damned!" " Pardon?" "That you depart to hell." "Time to die, Captain." "Or to live." "Highness!" " Let them go." "Our priority is the Infanta." "We'll have to postpone dying to another day." "It's urgent we get the Infanta to the citadel." "Come on." "Highnesses, we must return to the palace immediately." "Who is to protect a poor woman alone?" "What pity so rightful is that that you feel for widow!" "For if a woman is single, ...if widowed, the more." "Okay, fine." "Now, now that you are in your role." "Yes, Your Highness." "Bravo!" "I think that's enough for today." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Thank you all." "We'll continue tomorrow." "Highness." "You knew what your captain and the poet were up to and you concealed it." "I don't know what you're talking about." "I have been made a fool of and you're going to pay for it." "Are you going to torture me?" " No, I know how well you endure physical torment." "You are going to love me." "You are going to love me so much." "Your torment will be worse than spending your life in galleys." "I already love you." "It's still not enough." "Only then you will die." "I should inform the king." "He needs to know what Olivares has hatched, it's our chance to make him fall." "My dear royal secretary, for once, think before speaking." "Do you think your worship and I are concerned that the king knows who has participated in an ambush in which an Infanta of Spain was nearly killed?" "What if Olivares speaks with the king?" "He may not tell about the wedding." "He can accuse us of outrage against the Infanta." "I repeat, think before you speak." "None of us want to show our cards." "We'll be silent then." " We" " Yes." "We know nothing and will say nothing of all this." "Cardinal Massini." "You wanted to see me, Monsignor?" " Thank you for coming." "The secretary was leaving." "Eminence." "There are safer ways to convey information to the king that interests us." "Wait for my call." "The secretary was informing me of the terrible incident that happened in the estate of the Marquis de Hinojosa." "Anything to do with what I told you?" "I'll tell you if you promise not to reveal who has told you." "But what are you doing?" "You lied." "You lied to save your sister." "No." "Not really." "I was going to do it but could not." "Believe me, I did not lie." "You already tried that once." "Kill me right away without hesitation." "You have until tomorrow to disappear from Madrid." "And from my life." "If I see you, I'll kill you." "Your brother may forgive you, but as your king..." "as King I don't know if I can." "She is a famous actress, Excellency." "Well, be discreet and find a place to kill her, but do it now." "And when the English leave?" " I have not spoken to his majesty of that." "The way back can be more dangerous than outward." "I must kill the captain." " Who cares?" "They have put a price on his head." " I also have some wounds." "Where?" "Here." "And here." "Don't you have anything to tell me?" "Is something new happening in the asylum?" "You are pure, like the Virgin." "If you continue to be like that, I'll leave." "Kill them." "Where's Alatriste?" " He's not here." "Tell me where he is, or I penetrate your friend's heart." "You lied, Diego, you've betrayed me!" "For all the times I've served." "I only ask one minute." "A minute!"
