"DISCLAIMER-ACTUAL MOVIE STARTS AT 3:26" "DOOMED LOVE" "MEMORIES OF A FAMILY" "FROM THE NOVEL BY CAMILO CASTELO BRANCO" "EPISODE 2" "I'm Rita. the youngest of 3 sisters and 2 brothers." "The youngest of the two, Simao Antonio Botelho, that's his name, is who cares more for the parents." "Simao's 15 years look like 20" "He's built and beautiful with mother's features... and complexion but another character." "The oldest, Manuel, earthed by Simao's tackles leaves Coimbra, where they're both college students, and before vacations goes to Viseu complain to father." "Simao Botelho left from Coimbra to Viseu arrogant convictions of his bravery." "One day, my brother proclaimed, theories of the french revolution, a band of archers, disarming him, took him to the academic jail, where he left 6 months later... thanks to fathers influences and mothers relatives." "The academic year lost, he went to Viseu." "In 3 months time a wonderful change happened in Simao's customs" "He dismissed his bad influences." "Went out rarely, or only with me, her favorite sister." "My brother loved by a neighbor, a girl 15 years old." "Rich heiress, regularly pretty and well bread." "She loved him as well and with more sincerity than her age would tell." "My father of these loves... and talking from the same window where his sons would date... insulted Tadeu de Albuquerque, Teresa's father." "Tadeu de Albuquerque who also didn't want Teresa married to Simao... called his nephew from Castro Daire, Baltazar Coutinho, and prevented him from his path for him to conquer Teresa's heart... and marry her." "But Teresa loves Simao and didn't want her cousin Baltazar." "Father, Kill me but do not force me to marry my cousin." "Violence is unnecessary 'cause I won't marry." "You'll marry!" "I want you to marry." "Want!" "If not you'll be cursed forever." "You'll die in a convent." "This house will go to your cousin." "No hound will put their foot on my grandparents carpets!" "If your a vile soul... you can't be heir to honorable surnames, for the first time insulted... by the father of that wretch you love." "Wait in your room for them to force you to another, where you won't see a single sunbeam." "Teresa stepped serenely into her room." "Tadeu de Albuquerque went to meet his nephew, and told him he could not give him his daughter 'cause he had none no longer" "Batlazar, who ate his uncles advice was a complex of excellencies," "Has only one weakness: the absolute downfall of honor." "Baltazar did not approve the seclusion in a convent... and advised uncle to let her be at home." "Teresa marveled at the unexpected calmness of her father, and suspected of the incoherence." "She wrote to Simao." "Nothing she hid from the happenings." "Not even Balazar's threats." "She finished hurling her suspicions of some new plan of violence." "The academic, arriving at the threat stages... had no longer bright light to decipher the rest of the letter." "he trembled seizure like, and his frontal arteries heaved protruded." "It wasn't fright of an impassioned heart." "It was the arrogant nature that scalded his blood." "Going from there to Castro Daire to stab Teresa's cousin in his own house, was the first thing fury and anger whispered to Simao." "In this purpose he sprang." "Rented horse and retired to wear himself to the occasion." "Simao Botelho re-read Teresa's letter two fold." "When the muleteer knocked on the door, he no longer thought about killing the man from Castro Daire." "Asked if he knew a house in Viseu where he could spend a night or two, without fear of being denounced." "The muleteer responded he had a 1/4 of a league from Viseu a cousin blacksmith." "Teresa's Birthday were fro the first time celebrated with a bang." "the lady say then what was the minuet of the court... and certain games of presents in which the time was eased in that era... without fatigue of the body nor distaste from the morale." "Baltazar Coutinho took notice of the unrest of his cousin, and had the immodesty to imagine that she'd be offended by his offense." "Generous to the pardon, the squire of Castro Daire addressed Teresa." "I'm sorry cousin for my coldness... but she's like the mountains." "Has volcano's inside and snow outside." "Sorry cousin for not noticing it." "Simao?" "Simao?" "What do you have my child for you already left 2 times and look so abuzz?" "Is anything upsetting you Teresa?" "I have and ache." "I need to go take a breather every once in a while." "It's nothing father." "Tadeu believed her and told everyone she felt some pain." "He just didn't tell his nephew 'cause he didn't find him and knew he had left." "That's when Teresa faked she was going to search for him." "Resolution which satisfied the old man a lot." "Leave." "Come tomorrow at the same time." "There's no path here." "What is your business?" "Almost looks like I open your mouth with a bullet." "What do you care who's here?" " Do not get near!" "If I have a secret, like you seem to have around these places," "I'm obliged to confess it." "This wall belongs to a house where only one family lives and one woman." "In this house, tonight, there's more than 40 women." "If you await one, I can await another." "Who are you?" "I don't know the person who ask nor wish to." "Let's just stay incognito." "Good night." "Tadeu de Albuquerque's nephew entered the room without reporting any altered state." "Saw Teresa who observed him, and knew how to blend soothing her." "The blacksmith had a daughter." "girl of 24 years of age, pretty shaped, a face both beautiful and sad." "Simao noticed the glances she took contemplating him... and asked her about the cause of that melancholic stare." "I don't know what my heart tells me in respect of your lordship." "Some misfortune is yet to happen." "You wouldn't say that without knowing something about my life." "Some things I know" "Did you hear it from the muleteer?" "No sir, my father knows you." "and a while ago I heard my father saying to my uncle... that the muleteer who came with you had his reasons to know some misfortune was to happen." "Why?" "For the love of a noblewoman of Viseu that has a cousin in Castro Daire." "With your permission." "Dear nobleman." "Excuse me for coming with short sleeves," "but I didn't find my jacket." "Fine Mr Joao." "Mister, I owe your father a favor." "A special favor." "One day some mess happened here because of a male horse of a crippled carter that hit a horse I was shoeing." "and in such a good hour it was it broke right here." "I had there a hammer and couldn't sustain myself from hitting it on the male." "Went down right away." "The muleteer who was great got his hands on a rifle and fired upon me without hesitation" ""Oh damned Soul!" I said." "Can't you see you're male injured my horse?" "which cost 20 pieces to his owner and I have to pay?" "and you shoot me because I stunned your male?" "And the shot hit you?" "It did, but your lordship would know It didn't kill me." "Hit me here on the left arm with two shots." "And I enter my house, go to the bedside table, bring a rifle and shoot upon him." "The muleteer fell like a bird and no peep was even heard." "They locked me up and I went to Viseu." "In the prison there was a man carrying out his sentence." "and he told me the inspector had much devotion to the 7 pains of "Our Lady"." "One time he was going to church with his family, I told him:" "Mr. Inspector, I ask you by the 7 pains of "Our Holy Lady"... that you ask me to your presence to explain my guilt to your lordship." "On the other day I was called." "Your father heard me and said:" "Leave and I'll do what I can." "The case is, my nobleman, that I was absolved." "when many people said they would see my hung at my door." "Please let me know if I should walk where your father has." "Mr Joao has motives to be grateful, no doubt about it." "Now please listen to more." "Before being blacksmith I was raised in uniform in the house of Castro Daire." "That was Mr Baltazar." "Do you know him?" "Oh if you do!" "By name only." "It was him who gave me 10 gold coins for me to set up." "But I paid him back, praise the Lord" "6 months will pass since he called me to Viseu, and told me he had 30 pieces for me If I did the job." "What you wish nobleman." "He says he wants me to take a man's life." "This tore me up inside." "'Cause telling the truth one who kills the other the job... is no professional." "I think....isn't it so?" "Right." "Who was the man he wanted dead?" "It was your lordship." "You didn't even change colors?" "I'm baffled!" "And you didn't accept the task, I see." "No sir." "And right as he told me the name... my wish was to hammer him to a corner." "And did he tell you the reason?" "No, my nobleman." "I'll tell you." "The next week when I knew Mr Baltazar..." "God damn him..." "Had left Viseu" "I went to speak with the magistrate telling him everything going on." "The magistrate thought for awhile and said:" "Your lordship will forgive me for telling you word for word what he said." "Say it!" "Your father began to rub his nose and said:" "I know what that is." "If my moron son Simao had honor he wouldn't look at that murderer's daughter." "The bastard thinks I'd consent my son linking himself with the daughter of Tadeu de Albuquerque." "he said more which I do not remember." "But I ended up knowing all." "Here is what happened." "Now your lordship showed up here, and last night went to Viseu." "You should forgive my trust," "But you lordship went to meet that lady." "I almost decided to follow you, but since my brother was going, who is man for three I was at ease." "If you return there, Mr Simao, be prepared for something bigger." "I know very well you're not fearful." "But from a betrayal no one escapes." "If you want me to go as well, I'm at your disposal." "And the rifle which sentenced the muleteer is still here and It fires below water." "Says the other." "Thanks my good friend." "I'll accept you good services when I need them." "This night I'll go like last night." "Master Joao da Cruz did not reply." "From there he went to inspect minuteness the rifle... and agree with his brother in law about necessary precautions." "While he unloaded the weapon and re-loaded it with some special shells, which he called " Pinpoes nuts"." "So?" "Is it certain the departure?" "Yes, why not?" "Well "Our Lady" goes in your company." "It's not convenient be near this door." "If the man falls dead suspicions arise over me and my uncle." "Stand back and beware the the horses sounds." "Then hurry until you find him so the gunfire will be done far from here." "But who knows if yesterday he came on horse and today on foot?" "Right!" "If he comes by foot I'll be wary so you can follow him until you have him in firing range." "But do you know the vicinity?" "Yes sir but If he leaves from his father's... and enters without giving us time?" "I told you he's not." "Enough of talking." "Go hide behind the church and don't fall asleep." "It's Joao da Cruz or the devil!" "What does he do here at this hour?" "I know!" "Do you suspect anything?" "No, If he would entered It'd be through us." "Don't you know he worked for our master?" "." "I also know he mounted the store with Baltazar's money." "So what are you afraid of?" "Nothing." "I also know it was the magistrate who rid him from being hung." "What of it?" "the magistrate doesn't bother with that." "He doesn't even know his son's here." "Maybe but I'm not very happy." "He's the devil!" "Let him be." "Either the bullets hit him or the other." "No news but know, your nobleman, he could already be under the horse... with four holes in the chest." "Is it you Joao?" "Yes I came before you?" "Give me your hand.I wanna feel in mine the hand of an honored man." "Men are known on the occasions." "Let's go. no time to talk." "The doctor has someone waiting." "Do I?" "Behind the church are two men I couldn't meet, but I'd swear their Mr Baltazar's servants." "Jump off the horse 'cause there's gonna be mustard." "I told you not to but you came..." "Now we only have to look forward." "Care that I don't tremble, Mr Joao." "I know but faced with the enemy we'll see." "I'll head up with my brother in law." "You'll follow us at twenty paces." "I told you:" "I'm not afraid." "Do what I say nobleman." "Let's go toward them for they passed to the church's other side." "Enter now Doctor.We'll return to guard your exit." "Look." "He went in." "Now he's safe." "If he doesn't stay inside." "But there come two men, and come straight at us." "Prepare your rifle." "better to retire." "We have nothing to do with these." "You run, cowards?" "Halt!" "You talk." "I don't want to be recognised." "Who orders to halt?" "Three shotguns." "Delay them so the doctor has time to exit." "We already stopped." "What do you want?" "I want to know what you're doing here?" "And what about you?" "I don't admit questions." "Who are you?" "Tell him if he takes one step you'll blow him away." "If you take one step I'll blow him away." "Don't speak more Mr Joao da Cruz." "Come with me." "They know me." "Don't follow them!" "Go!" "Teresa!" "Go!" "Go!" " Goodbye Teresa." " Goodbye Simao." "Write!" "Yes." "Is the marriage decided?" "There's no time to lose." "Go back where you came and don't look back." "I'm gonna identify those vultures." "Don't think about it!" "Go fast." "We'll be with you later." "Go through were you want." "We'll go outside the path." "The shortcut is over there." "You'll pass through there or already have." "The street is right over there." "The men will shoot over there." "Let's make haste!" "We won't get in time." "The men will shoot on you 'cause the horse fell behind." "The men are gonna shoot." "Let's shout here the doctor to not proceed." "No time." "If they kill or not when they come back they're ours." "Here they come." "Here we are." "Sit down as well for I'm not in the mood to run after them." "Shoot that one!" "Is it you nobleman?" " It is." "Didn't they kill you?" " I believe not." "This moron let the guy escape." "But mine went down.I'll like to see his ugly mug!" "Devil." "If I had two shotguns he wouldn't be going alone to hell." "Let that bastard 'cause doctor is wounded!" "I saw two heads peaking and cared it was you." "I stopped my horse and said: "Any news?"." "Had no response." "I jumped quick to land but still had my foot stuck when they shot." "This is just a scratch!" "I know of this nobleman." "I'm an expert in curing wounds." "On the donkeys Mr Joao?" "On the Christians as well, sir." "There was a king in Portugal who wanted as a doctor none other than a veterinarian." "I should show you my body, which is a web of stabbings." "Is it that he's arming himself?" "What is he doing there all trembling?" "He's there." "Hand me a gun Mr Simao!" "he's splitting wood like a pig mountain." "Brother in law!" "Beat down this bush with some rocks." "I wanna see the boar com out fro the bush." "Be careful!" "..." "Don't happen to shoot me." "The nobleman already walks?" "Then the siege is closed." "I'll be the ferret." "If this one escapes nothing is safe in this world." "He was not mistaken." "Baltazar Coutinho's brother in law when thrown helplessly in the bushes... dislocated a knee and fell stunned." "dragged himself until finding a dense wall of wild trees... thinking there he might escape." "Light up some fire and throw it in the woods." "This thief will die roasted." "Forgive me." "I was obligated by my master to this disgrace." "Don't hit a kneeling man like that." " Get up son." " I can't sir." "I have a broken knee and I'm injured for life." "This rascal is still alive?" "Don't kill the man Mr Joao." "None of it." "I'll tear him apart." "The nobleman wants to pay me with the gallows the favor of me helping you.Huh?" "With the gallows?" "Right!" "Do you want this man to live to tell the tale?" "thins it's pretty?" "Your lordship, as son of a minister wouldn't be in danger," "But I, who am a blacksmith, can say I have the chord already on my neck." "It doesn't suit me. let me be with him." "Don't kill him Mr joao." "It's me asking." "One witness can do no wrong." "What?" "Your lordship as a doctor should know well... but of justice you know nothing, and you shall forgive my forwardness." "One sole witness can lead justice to betrayal." "When you get going, one eye witness, other four of hearsay... plus the nobleman from Castro Daire moving some strings..." "It's certain death." "Like 2 and 2 make 4!" "I'll say nothing!" "Don't kill me!" "I'll never go to Castro Daire again." "Le him be Joao da Cruz." "Let's leave." "Yes, call Joao da Cruz so this scoundrel can take accounts with him." "I don't know what to think of your lordship wanting to leave alive a soul from the Devil," "who fired upon you with intent." "Well, yes." "You're right." "But I don't know how to punish fools who surrender." "And If I had killer him?" "Would you punished him?" "Respond sir." "Let's leave." "Let's leave?" "!" "Let's go." "Who a enemy spares in his hand dies." "My rifle was left by the bushes." "Get going." "I'll be right back." "There's Joao taking justice in his hands." "Leave him my lord." "He knows what he's doing." "You're cruel, Mr Joao." "I'm not." "The nobleman is mistaken." "It's like the proverb:" ""Dying for the sake of dying let my father die because he's older"" "It's the same killing one or two." "When you already have your hands tied doesn't matter tying an archer or three." "Things should be finished or, better yet, not even to start." "Now my conscience is clean." "Let justice prove it, if it wants to, but It won't be those two,who I gifted the Devil, who'll tell her." "Simao had an instant of an assassin's horror... and regret for being bound with such a man." "Simao Botelho's suffering was delicate." "Bandages sealing his blood were all over." "More than the pain or fear of amputation," "The was mortified by the anxiety of hearing from Teresa." "May God permit you have arrived without danger at the house of those good people." "I don't know what's going on but there are mysterious things I cannot guess." "My father had been the whole morning closed with his cousin... and doesn't let me even leave the room." "Ordered to take the ink cartridge away but I was prevented with another." ""Our Lady" wanted the poor to beg under my room's window." "If not I had no way of signaling her to await for this letter." "I don't know what she said..." "She spoke of dead servants but I couldn't understand." "Yous sister Rita is waving me behind the windows of your room." "Your sister just told me that my cousin's boys had shown up dead near the street." "Now I know everything." "I was going to say you were there but they gave me no time." "My father, on the hour, passes through the corridor and frees some heavy breaths." "Oh, My dear Simao." "What is of you?" "Are you injured?" "Am I the cause of your death?" "Simao responded wanting to calm Teresa's heart." "Of his injury he talked so briefly that one would think not even a bandage was needed." "He cheered her to call him... right after the convents threats became real." "Teresa had finished reading and hiding in her breasts Joao Botelho's response, that the beggar handed to her at dusk... when her father entered her room and ordered her to get dressed." "The girl obeyed taking a cape and a scarf." "Dress like who you are!" "Remember you still have my surname." "I cared it wasn't needed for me to dress better to step out at night." " And you know where you're going?" " No sir." "Then get dressed and don't bother me." " But my father, hear me..." "Do tell." "If your idea is to force me to marry my cousin," "And if so?" "I won't marry." "I'll die and happy but won't marry." "Nor she wants." "your lady is unworthy of marrying Baltazar Coutinho." "A man of my blood cannot accept as a spouse a woman... who walks at night speaking to her lovers in the garden." "Dress yourself quickly." "You'll go to a convent." "Immediately, father." "That fate I asked you aplenty." "Spare me of thoughts." "Be here in a little while already dressed." "Your cousins won't be long to accompany you." "Simao de Albuquerque was accomplice against the life of Joao Botelho." "It was his suggestion when his nephew denounced the cause of" "Teresa's turmoil on the night of the ball." "To both the elder and the squire befitted to erase any hint that could involve them in the mystery of those two deaths." "The servants didn't deserve to have gone through so that would involve a fate befalling their masters." "Teresa tore up in tears and wanted to write Simao." "At that hour who would take the letter?" "She called for the Virgin who she had made confidant of her love." "Then got dressed, crushing against her breasts a package where she took ink, paper and a bundle of Simao's letters." "My father, I ask your permission to take with me that devout image." "It'll go." "If you'd have as much shame as devotion, you'd be happier than you shall." "Lady, it was still in your hand to give remedy to the disorder of this house." "What remedy?" "Tell your father you don't refuse to wed brother Baltazar." "Cousin Baltazar doesn't want me." "Who told you that Teresinha?" "My father." "Let your father talk for he's confused with the love he has for you." "Want me to talk to him?" "What for?" "To remedy this way all of our misfortune." "You're joking cousin." "I'll be your sister in law the day I have no heart." "Your brother is certain I love another." "I wanted to live for him." "But If you want me to die for him I'll bless all my saints." "You can tell this to cousin Baltazar." "Tell him before you forget." "Shall we go?" "I'm ready father." "I'm freer than ever." "What do you say?" "The heart's freedom is everything." "What do you say?" "I said I feel at ease here "my lady"." "Don't say "my lady"" "What should I say?" "Say "Our mother superior"." "Very well, mother superior." "I said I felt at ease here." "But who comes to these houses of the Lord doesn't come to feel well." "No?" "Who comes here miss... is to mortify her spirit and leave outside mundane passions." "Here you have our mother master of novices... who's task is to direct you." "Teresa didn't reply." "Made a gesture of respect and followed the path mother superior indicated." "When the mother entered her chambers... told Teresa she was her guest while there." "and added that she didn't know if her father would choose this or another convent." "What does it matter one or the other?" "Depends." "It might be you father would want you to profess in rich Orders" "Profess?" "I do not wish to be nun here or anywhere." "You'll be what you father wishes." "Nun?" "That no one can make me." "That's true but as the lady has a year of novice... time would not be of spare to get used to this life and you'll see there's none... better for the body nor healthier for the soul." "Our mother already said nobody comes here to feel well." "It's a way of speaking miss." "We all have our mortification's and obligations." "for the spirit isn't always in a good mood." "You see?" "But in comparison with what goes on in the whole convent is paradise." "Here there's no passions nor cares that take away our appetite." "God bless..." "We live with each other like God with the angels" "Well, here I leave you... with out organ master, and out mother of novices, who can tell you better than I what is the virtue in these holy places." "Impostor." "And so stupid!" "Lady mustn't trust her, and see if your father gives you another companion while here, for the mother superior is the biggest schemer in the convent." "After being 60 she speaks about the passions of the world as if she knew them so well." "while young she was the most scandalous nun." "now old is the most ridiculous." "Teresa, despite her pain couldn't help smiling remembering God's life with the angels that the wives that lived there said as told by the prioress." "What do you say to these religious" "that stayed with you?" "They seem OK." "What's done is done." "they're not the worse but could be much better" "Let's go miss." "Here's two chicken legs and a soup fit for angels." "END OF EPISODE 2"
