"Do you think the eclipse portends catastrophes?" "I want your maximum efforts." "It's not every day we get a visit from the king of France." "We have to go to the shrine of the Virgin of the Truth." "I want to know why my uncle gave me this image." "Be discreet." "It's a private and personal visit." "This Virgin can lead me to my mother." "Maybe it's hiding something." "Louis XIV is coming here?" "He's in town, visiting his father-in-law, king Felipe." "And what relationship do you have with him?" "This dynasty is finished." "I hope and wish that the Bourbons reign in Spain,... and I'll do anything in my power to make it happen." "The Virgin is crying blood!" "The Virgin is crying blood!" "Last week it was the plague of locusts,... yesterday the Virgin, and tomorrow the eclipse." "God's going to punish us?" "The world is coming to an end!" "If the people think they're going to die, we have no way to control them." "Alonso!" "Marry me!" "Tomorrow!" "Tomorrow, when the end arrives,... could you be with me?" "Of course, man!" "Please don't move from here --- I'm going to hunt down a priest." ""You were always special to me... ever since we were kids."" "What happened is that by chance I found a letter, a letter in which you declared yourself." "My Master didn't write it for you." "It was for my sister?" "What you have done is unforgivable." "What are you going to do to me?" "Thirteen paces from the "rock of hope" towards El Escorial." "Here it is, Sátur!" "I'm not sure why, but I'm not able to forget someone." "It was built by the architect for Felipe II." "What's the point of living here if we're going to die of asphyxiation?" "Leave me alone, leave me alone, no!" "Dance, I said!" "What's all this?" "A refuge." "Juan is waiting for me so I get married to him this very day." "They say they've caught the Commissioner." "Martín is dead!" "Where could this man be?" "We won't arrive in time." "And Alonso won't forgive me in this life." "Ma'am." "What happened here?" "I need to know what happened here." "The Red Eagle has prevented us from administering justice." "And now God will really let us have it." "Is he alive?" "God has withdrawn his grace, we're going to die." "The end of the world is nigh." "But what am I doing?" "No fact will save me." "Hey, Murillo, stay right there!" "Get away from the door right now!" "I'm going to look for my mother." "No, no, don't you know how dangerous it is out there now?" "Anything could happen to you, boy, anything." "The people have gone crazy." "I'm sure your mother is all right... in the palace." "Soon she'll come looking for you, you'll see." "Juan, Juan!" "I'm in a rush, Cipri." "Have you seen Sátur?" "No, I haven't seen him, I have to go." "Wait, wait a moment." "I want to ask you something." "Juan, you, you're a doctor." "and...could you give me something so I won't suffer?" "You know,... when the time comes." "I'd like it to end with some sort of peace, you understand?" "You're asking me to give you poison?" "They say fire is going to destroy everything, Juan." "To die by burning is a terrible death." "I have Murillo with me." "He's just a kid, Juan." "Take it easy, Cipriano,... and don't do anything foolish." "Take care of the boy and everything will be fine." "Why, why don't you stay with us?" "And where are you going now?" "To stop me making a fool of myself." "I've been doing that for too long." "Juan..." "I believe..." "I can't hear anything." "~ No." "~ I think he's already gone, I'll go check." "No, no, no, no, no." "Sátur will come with Dad." "Alonso, my love, I have to go, Juan is waiting for me." "You want to die, do you --- is that it?" "Because if you climb out of here, that's all that'll happen to you." "And if the bear's still there?" "And if you can't get back in time, huh?" "You just don't understand that it won't make a difference for me, Alonso?" "I have to be with Juan." "I have to alert him." "But I'll be right back." "I promise you.." "Wait." "~ I'll go." "~ No way." "I'm much quicker than you, Aunt, the bear won't grab me." "Listen, Alonso, enough, you're not going anywhere..." "I won't allow you to go into danger." "Besides, your father'll be here at any moment." "Everything will be all right, don't be scared." "All right, but... if you see the bear, pick up a stick and throw it toward him." "And then run for your life." "If you see he's going to catch up, head up a tree." "Bears are very fat." "Aunt, Aunt, are you all right?" "~ Aunt." "~ Alonso." "Marta, stop crying." "You're fraying my nerves." "Mom, what are they going to do to us?" "I don't know, son, I don't know." "Why did you have to kill him?" "If we first had few chances, now we've got none." "She saved my life." "They didn't want to kill you, Idiot." "They wanted to rape you." "Better dishonor than death, right?" "~ If something happens to my son, I swear, Catalina, that..." "~ What?" "What, ma'am?" "At least you know where your son is,... but I don't." "They killed my nephew in the worst way." "We're in the hands of heartless psychos, and soon the world will end,... so I've got nothing left to lose." "Your life, Catalina, your life!" "My life is worth less than shit, ma'am." "Undress." "Come on, move, we don't have all day." "Let him go." "Let me son leave." "The kid stays." "It's not necessary that he witness this." "Only a coward would let a child view a rape." "We're not going to rape you." "It'll be much worse." "Gonzalo, who hit you?" "Some kids." "Don't go out alone anymore." "Mom said that we have to stay hidden." "I'm scared." "I'll always take care of you, I promise you!" "I'll always take care of you, I promise you!" "Master!" "~ Master!" "~ Sátur." "~ Cipri." "~ I've been looking for you." "You left it." "Have you seen my Master?" "No, I don't know where he is." "I can't stop second thoughts about it, Sátur,... you know, what it would be like when everything comes to an end." "Don't worry, Cipri." "I even asked Juan for poison,... ~ to make the passing easier." "~ What?" "Have you gone crazy?" "Well, it was the best way to avoid suffering." "But he wouldn't give me any, and..." "I left Murillo alone in the inn." "~ If you want..." "~ Go back to Murillo right this instant." "I'm going there right away." "I have to find the Master, it's very important." "~ I'll go looking with you if you want." "~ No, no!" "Well, why not?" "Well, I want to say goodbye to him alone." "I understand, Sátur." "You're right." "I'll wait for you in the inn." "~ Ah..." "~ What do you want, Cipriano, what do you want?" "I've cooked a few hot sausages,... to have a happy ending,... the best we can." "I've screwed up my karma!" "Mother...!" "Everything I do turns out bad!" "What will I do now?" "Master!" "Thankfully, for God's sake, thankfully!" "What are you doing here?" "Enough already." "Stay calm, for God's sake." "How do you expect us to stay calm?" "They're going to kill us." "Help!" "Help!" "Aunt, it's useless, no one can hear you." "They built this to hide the king, so no one would know where he was." "They should have arrived already, Alonso,... hours have passed." "Look, Sátur went for water,... to convince Dad, to look for Murillo, and to come back here." "Right...apart from Sátur, does anyone else know about this place?" "No." "Besides Sátur, nobody." "Not even your father?" "Since he doesn't believe in the end of the world,..." "Well, I hope Sátur knows what he's doing... because we're in his hands." "Sátur won't just leave us here." "He's going to convince my Dad no matter what it takes." "Sure." "Alonso, my love, can you get me some water?" "I'm dying of thirst." "The problem is that Sátur was the one to bring it." "But don't worry,... he's about to come, you'll see." "Why they make us wait around so long?" "Because there's nothing quite so scary as thinking about what they're going to do." "They said they weren't going to rape us." "They said it would be worse." "Son,... listen to me,... and listen well." "When they open that door I want you to shut your eyes and keep them shut until I tell you otherwise." "Whatever happens, my love,... today you do what I tell you." "No, Mom, if they touch you, they're going to pay." "Promise me, Son." "~ Help, get us out of here!" "~ Catalina, Catalina, shut up!" "Silence!" "No one can hear you here." "Rich folks don't like to live next to poor people." "Is that right, Marquesa?" "What are you going to do to us?" "End this right now." "We're going to play something easy and fun." "You'll fight among yourselves with punching,... only with your hands." "Take another." "How can you do that to us, we're not animals!" "Whoever loses, dies,... whoever wins, lives." "It's that simple." "You can begin." "Murderer!" "I forgot to mention it, Marquesa: whoever won't play will also die." "Are you looking for this?" "I've saved your life, don't force me to take it." "If that's what you wanted, you would have done it already." "Today would have been the right day." "You're in no condition to fight." "Don't underestimate me,... you're the one without a weapon." "Master, Master..." "Master..." "You'll fight with him." "~ I say you have to!" "~ Leave her alone." "If you harm her I'll kill you." "The rules are clear, Marquesa." "You know what'll happen if you don't play." "Hit me." "I'll fight with her." "I'll say how and with whom." "Go on, boy, fight...for a few more hours of life." "You can begin." "Fight, I say!" "Come on, Son." "Hit me." "Hit me, my love." "Hit me, my love." "No." "Son, I'm your mother, hit me, please." "I order you to hit me, Nuño, do it." "Hit me." "Master!" "Master, open up." "I'm sorry I'm late, but..." "Who are you?" "Well, who am I?" "Who are you?" "And my Master?" "Leave us alone." "Listen, this is my Master's house, I live here." "But what are you talking about?" "I don't know you at all, go away." "You see, there's a serious mistake happening here." "Indeed, here lives Paco the sharpener, he's my Master." "I've told you, so if you don't mind,..." "There was a sharpener here, but he died more than ten years ago..." "Thus very morning he sent me for stones for sharpening!" "Pneumonia took him to his grave, and I bought this house." "This is my house." "~ Paco!" "~ Asshole, get out of here!" "Paco!" "Come on, neither Paco nor Pepe lives here, go fuck yourself!" "Serafín, what's going on?" "Where's Paco?" "It would be better if you went to pray like the rest." "Or didn't you know the world's supposed to end today?" "Where's Paco?" "~ How should I know where Paco is?" "He's demented." "~ Let me." "He's lost, he's lost in madness." "What happened to me?" "What happened to me?" "Help." "I need help." "Juan!" "I'm glad to see you." "You still don't tie your hair." "Your mother wouldn't like to see you like this." "My mother would have preferred another daughter." "But you look neither like a noble, nor like a doctor." "Good, but the truth is I don't know what you look like." "So why are you visiting?" "I have to tell you that it's still much too cold to swim in the lake." "You still swim naked?" "Where are your manners?" "You're in front of a lady." "A what?" "..." "Lady?" "Lady?" "..." "I still have the scar from the last time we practiced with a sword." "Because you allowed it on purpose, do you think I didn't notice about it?" "Are you going to tell me why you came, or will you go on playing the mysterious guy?" "Well, maybe I've come to see you, nothing more." "Well, at least tell me how you've been all this time." "Well, I don't know how to begin:..." "I live in town,... and I have a small clinic where I take care of my patients." "That's everything." "The town doctor." "A city boy, you?" "Wow, if they knew what I know!" "But there's not much more gossip to tell about me, right?" "You sure?" "I learned of your engagement." "Yes." "I wanted to talk to you about that." "There's no engagement." "It's over." "Where did you find food like this?" "Don't you want something to eat, Son?" "No, they're not coming." "Eh?" "They're not coming." "I'm sure that something bad happened to them!" "Why are you saying this?" "Well, since maybe they just haven't been able to leave town,... or either they've attacked them, or they can't find this place." "And we're out of time." "They're not coming, and we're going to die alone, Aunt." "Alonso, come here." "Come here, come on." "Look at me." "We're going to make through this mess." "I swear!" "Liar!" "Those who are outside are going to die, and us along with them." "Well, maybe they should have already arrived, but for sure nothing's happened to them, you'll see." "I don't want to live without my Dad." "Then what should we do, Alonso?" "Tell me what we should do." "Do we let ourselves die, too?" "Is that right?" "If your father could see you, he wouldn't recognize you." "You're not a coward, Alonso." "What do you have there?" "Where?" "You're bleeding." "No, no, Alonso, it's nothing." "Why do you never tell me anything?" "Because I'm fine, Alonso, don't worry about it." "You need help." "Help!" "Please, help!" "Please!" "Help!" "Help, please!" "Please, help." "Please, help us, please!" "Help us, come help us, please!" "Please." "Please, Dad." "Come and help us." "I'm not going to do it." "I won't fight any more... with my son." "It's not necessary." "This is a game." "I surrender." "~ Then I'll kill you." "~ No!" "Mom, get up." "~ No, I'm not going to do it." "~ Get up!" "I'm not going to fight with my son." "Mom, get up." "Get up, you have to." "Your shit party is over." "Do what you have to do." "~ Back off...back away, son." "~ Hell, no!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Leave my son alone." "Take her to her bedroom." "Madam, madam!" "What's the matter?" "Listen, help me!" "Please!" "Tell me who I am." "Help me, for God's sake." "~ Listen, ma'am, excuse me." "Do you know who I am?" "~ No." "~ Do you know who I am?" "~ No." "Leave me alone, leave me alone!" "Do you know who I am?" "Do you know who I am?" "It doesn't matter." "Please, does anyone know me?" "Commissioner." "Your Majesty, the people won't listen to reason,... they won't obey the authorities, and most of my men have deserted out of fear." "Your obligation is to maintain order." "Do so." "I intend to." "That's why I came here to ask for the help of the royal guard." "I need men to subdue the chaos which has swept over the town." "It's assumed you're a man who can find solutions." "Find them." "And now, if you'll excuse me, I have important matters to deal with." "Your Majesty." "Your Eminence." "Your Majesty, it's not usual for the Commissioner to act like that." "What do you want me to do?" "Maybe tell him that my army's on the run, too?" "I'd reckon not, your Majesty." "Without the royal guard the palace would be just as accessible as any other house in town." "No one should learn anything about this." "Louis XIV, the king of France, is visiting me." "What image would this give of the king of Spain and emperor or the Indies?" "At last I found you --- where were you?" "It seems they entered the house, but I couldn't find Alonso or Margarita, where are they?" "This is madness." "They'd caught the Commissioner to crucify him." "I saved him, like an idiot." "I'm alive by chance alone." "We'll split up --- you look for Margarita while I look for Alonso." "We have to find them." "Don't touch me." "~ What's the matter?" "~ Don't touch me." "What's wrong with you?" "Sátur!" "Why do you know my name?" "Who are you?" "Who's Alonso, who's Margarita?" "Have I met you before?" "Your Majesty, if you'll permit me,... maybe we ought to consider the use of the refuge." "which your late father, may he be with God, had constructed in his time." "It doesn't exist." "It's one of those legends which surround the figure of my father." "Your Eminence,... do you think the end could eventually come?" "The end of time could arrive at any moment,... only divine omnipotence could determine how and when." "Alonso." "Alonso, my love, answer me, please." "It doesn't help to hide your head and sulk." "Don't you get it?" "My Dad and Sátur are out there." "And the ball of fire will engulf them." "And whatever we do, we're dead." "But he's safe and sound, Alonso, he's not dead." "And you don't know what's happening up there, either." "So I don't want to hear any more about it." "Come on, help me." "Come here." "Alonso, please." "Look..." "The wound is infected." "You have to get out the splinter because I can't do it by myself... my love." "Who, me?" "Alonso, if you don't help me I'll get gangrene in the leg." "And you don't want that to happen to me, right?" "Well, we'll see." "You'll have to pull out by main force." "Very strong, don't think about anything, just yank it out." "~ Agreed?" "~ But I..." "I can't." "~ Of course you can, my love." "~ No, I can't!" "Alonso, you have to help me, please." "I trust you." "~ I trust you, right?" "~ All right." "Ready?" "Very well." "I'll count to three." "When I reach three, yank." "Ready?" "At the number three..." "And pull strongly." "Let's go." "One, Two..." "And Three!" "Aunt, are you all right?" "Please, Aunt!" "Aunt, please!" "Help, help!" "Let's settle down here, Sátur." "This room is Alonso's." "And these are the stables." "And you sleep here, next to the kitchen." "Every morning you make us breakfast." "Don't you remember?" "No." "Alonso, my son, is ten years old and he loves you very much." "~ Me?" "~ Yes, you." "Stop, stop, stop, stop." "Stop the wagon." "I don't know whether you've taken me for an imbecile, but I know I've never been here before in my whole painful life." "Sátur, in my room there's a hatch, and it takes us... you know." "You don't remember even that?" "You and I are a team." "The Red Eagle." "You keep an eagle in your house?" "No!" "It doesn't matter what you have or don't have, I have no idea what you're talking about." "I don't know why you're doing this." "But if you wanted to scare me, you've succeeded." "I'm leaving." "Sátur, I don't know where Margarita or Alonso are, so you have to remember!" "Think, maybe they told you where they meant to go." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Don't you understand?" "I don't even know them." "And what you've just done with the knife, I don't like that at all." "Sátur, Sátur, Sátur." "Please, it can't be that you've totally forgotten about us." "I saved your life." "I broke you out of jail." "Do you remember?" "Sátur, you and I are friends." "~ No way!" "~ Sátur!" "You hit me." "You hit me!" "No, Sátur." "~ You're no friend of mine." "~ Sátur." "Sátur!" "Don't you recognize it?" "It's the tree we used to climb in play." "Oh, yes, that's for sure." "Do you know what I remember?" "Your mother screaming for you to get down." "My mother, my father, the maids, the gardener..." "But there's something more." "I saved it the evening they presented me at court" "Everyone thought that at last you'd stake your claim on me." "I'm sure you had many suitors." "I rejected them all." "My first book on medicine." "I thought I'd lost it." "I kept it." "And the letters I sent you from the university." "I gathered everything I got from you, and I saved it." "But now that you're back, I thought it would be better to return it." "Well, and your parents, how are they?" "Well, worried." "What with the end of the world, they went to their palace in the mountains." "We're on our own." "Without a staff, they've all left." "And you're not scared?" "Well, the truth is that until recently the end of the world was all the same to me." "And now?" "Not now." "Now I hope it never comes." "I hope it'll happen quickly." "I'm not going to kill you." "Not yet." "No matter what their station in life, all men want the same thing." "270 lashes." "They hit me so much,... my flesh was hanging out." "I vanished and they thought I was dead." "Do you want me to pity you?" "No, no, no." "I just wanted to refresh your memory." "Of all of us who were in the village that morning,... you had to pick me." "They accused me of raping you." "Don't you remember?" "You hadn't even met me before." "They nearly killed me so the Marqués wouldn't learn how loose a woman you are." "It took me years to recover,... and live a normal life." "I had a son,... who you killed through hunger." "You!" "Can you compensate me for that now, Marquesa?" "Answer me that." "What do you want from me, eh?" "What do you want from me?" "What do you want from me?" "I want you to suffer,... like I did when I saw my son die." "Bring him." "Mom!" "He'll die under the lash." "As many of them as I endured." "Lead him downstairs,... and fetch the whip." "They're waiting for us." "Cipri." "What?" "I'm sorry, Gonzalo." "The boy, he insisted on comming here, you see, even if this mess is coming over us." "I don't know how he got his Dad's knife." "Listen to me." "What do you know about Alonso or Margarita?" "It's impossible to find anyone." "They're all staggering around drunk." "Women are in the middle of the street, on their knees and praying." "There's a fight at every corner." "Cipri, I don't know where they are." "I have to find them." "They say it's almost here, Gonzalo,... that it's going to be more horrible than Hellfire,... and that the flames come out from inside your body." "Juan, maybe she's with Juan, do you know where Juan is?" "Juan left this morning." "He said he had something important to take care of, and..." "Get up, Murillo, stop it right now." "And the mother of this poor tyke doesn't show up, so there's another one missing." "Murillo, what's this?" "It's the box for the people of the future, which Alonso brought." "I'm going to leave my father's knife." "My lesson book." "And a letter from...?" "It's from Alonso." "Alonso said that if we buried it, the fire wouldn't reach it." "If the world should burn, then would nothing be left?" "I don't know, son." "The oceans would remain, and everything underground, I guess." "I don't want to die, Dad." "Murillo, do you know anything about Alonso?" "Have you seen him?" "Sátur told us he'd lead us to a safe haven to save us, but he hasn't shown up." "Sátur?" "He didn't say anything to me." "~ He promised me." "~ Murillo, where is this place, do you know?" "He was going let me die by myself... like a dog." "Attention." "Sir." "And the reinforcements?" "There will be none." "Form up the men, whoever remains." "Excuse me, Commissioner, but... most of them have deserted and gone to their families." "They set them free before leaving." "We're not going to do anything, you understand?" "If the rabble wants to kill each other, that's their problem." "Ignore that." "Do your best so nobody gets in." "Sir." "Let's move out." "Alfredo!" "What are you doing?" "Commissioner, I..." "I have nowhere to go." "I want to be here when everything happens." "Touching." "What's that prisoner doing in the dirt?" "Stuff him into a cell, we're moving out!" "They've already decided to kill them." "They're going to kill everyone." "What are you talking about?" "They stormed the palace." "They're going to kill them." "Where are you, son?" "Where are you?" "Get him undressed." "Now you're going to learn the feelings we poor bear under your whip." "Turn your back." "No, no, please, whip me instead." "Whip me, please, he's just a boy, whip me." "I'll let you do what you want with me." "My son died in his mother's arms, and shortly afterwards, so did she." "Now it's your turn." "That's only fair, don't you think?" "At least let me say goodbye to him." "I beg you, at least let me say goodbye to him." "I beg you, I beg you, I beg you." "Go." "Don't worry, I'll resist, I'm strong." "Agreed." "I love you, son." "I love you so much." "Don't be scared --- drink this." "It won't hurt." "Drink it." "That's enough." "Look at him." "Look at him!" "Start at once." "Here it is." "The end of the world is nigh." "It'll fall down over our heads." "There's nothing to be done." "What will become of me?" "I have nowhere to go." "I don't know anyone, I can't remember where..." "You know me?" "Well, no, if the truth be known." "I thought I did, but I don't know who you are, Sátur." "You said my name." "I never imagined you'd be such a scoundrel... such a liar and so mean." "You promised me." "I promised you?" "What did I promise you?" "I'm sorry, but I don't remember you." "I mean..." "I don't even know who you are." "How can you ask who am I?" "I'm the idiot of the innkeeper, who you were going to leave on his own." "At least have what it takes to admit it." "And what's all this about your having a place to save them?" "Why are you lying?" "Excuse me, but I have no idea what you're talking about." "I've never seen you before in my life." "Now I realize just what you are." "I'll tell you one thing:" "I'd rather die alone than at your side." "Go to Hell." "I'm not surprised that Estuarda and your son abandoned you." "My son?" "I have a son?" "You even deny your own folks?" "Go to Hell!" "A son Four, five, six,... seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen." "It ought to be here." "Listen, listen." "Is your son like this, blond, with long hair?" "Do you know where he is?" "I, well..." "I'm not sure but I think he's in the woods." "He's locked." "It's not possible that you weren't with another man." "I chose you, Juan." "Then I hope I've done it to your expectations." "But I don't know, because I have no one to compare you with." "We have to make up for lost time." "What is it now, professor?" "I don't see anything." "Maybe this very moment everything's burned up and we're the only survivors." "Aunt, please!" "Wake up, don't leave me alone, please." "~ Gonzalo, I can't hear you." "~ No, I'm Alonso." "I'm here." "Relax." "Don't leave me, please, don't go." "No, I'm still here, I'm still here." "I'm very tired." "No, don't die, please, Aunt!" "Don't die, please!" "Congratulations, Marquesa." "The kid has what it takes." "Enough already, please." "Relax, relax." "A short time is left for all of us." "My love..." "Nuño, take care of Nuño." "Shoot." "Hang on, hang on, Nuño, hang on one more moment." "My love, open your mouth, open your mouth." "My love, breathe, breathe." "Open your eyes, my love, my love." "Open your eyes, my love." "That's it, that's it." "That's it, that's it, breathe." "Are you sure it was "the rock of hope"?" "Do you know exactly where it is?" "Well, no." "Look, I've tried." "I'm sorry, but I'm going." "I don't want this end of the world thing... to catch me here, in the middle of the woods." "No, no, no, Sátur." "We don't move from here until we find them." "Don't touch me!" "If you think you can give me a beating every time you feel like it, you're very wrong." "Sátur, please." "You have to make an effort." "But maybe the child I saw isn't even your son, how should I know?" "Murillo said you were going to take them to a safe place." "They were holed up underground, Sátur." "They haven't shown up, that's not normal." "So, please, I beg you..." "Remember." "I don't even know who this Murillo is!" "I'm...recalling things about my son." "The innkeeper says I have a son." "Is it certain I have a son?" "Yes, his name's Gabi." "And is it true that my family abandoned me?" "It's true." "Well, I must have had a bitch of a life if my family ran off." "I don't know whether I want to remember anything." "Please, think." "Where did you take them?" "I just don't know." "If I knew, I swear I'd say so, but... but I can't remember a thing." "The eclipse." "My God." "My God, I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "Cipri,... and my Mom?" "Sir, please, let me in, let me in!" "It's arrived, it's happening!" "The end of the world!" "The end of the world!" "The fire..." "Sátur!" "Relax, Murillo,..." "I'm right here." "No fire...no end of the world, please!" "No, it's already burning me, I don't want to die!" "My God, I'll become a Christian, help me!" "Help me as a Christian!" "I don't want to die!" "Thank You, God, thank You!" "How good is creation!" "Thank you, thank you!" "Sátur, I need your help." "How insistent!" "You and I have nothing in common, I don't know you." "I can't help you." "What do you want me to say it?" "I've forgotten everything." "Thanks for everything, Sátur." "I'd like to do it, but... look around." "Here's there's just the woods,... stone...nothing else." "Dad!" "Margarita." "Margarita, Margarita." "I'm here, Gonzalo." "Sátur, thank God you came along." "Forgive me, kid, but I don't agree with you." "Sátur, what's going on?" "Alonso, we don't have time for this." "We have to get Margarita out of here." "She has a high fever." "They made us fight in a life-or-death struggle." "Thank God nothing happened to us." "At least we're still alive." "Yes, yes." "We are, anyway." "Martín!" "Martín?" "Martín!" "My son!" "My son!" "Thank God you're alive!" "We thought they'd killed you." "We should try to forget this,... as soon as possible." "How is Nuño?" "Resting." "You're not even going to thank me for having saved you?" "Next time try to arrive earlier." "this time we almost didn't made it through." "Irene, go get changed,... your uncle will want to know that you're all right." "Sir, we found this guy hidden,... he says he's the king of France." "Your Majesty, I regret what has happened." "Are all of you insane?" "This is a country of savages!" "Your Majesty, I'll personally accompany you to the royal palace." "And my son?" "How's my son, my Murillo?" "He's fine, Aunt.." "He's with Cipri." "Thank God." "Thank God nothing bad happened, otherwise..." "Are you all right?" "I am, my son, if you're fine, I'm fine." "I'm going back to the prison." "It's an order from the Commissioner, so I'm going." "Aunt?" "Aunt, are you all right?" "Aunt?" "You'll heal." "Dad, it's all the just same!" "There wasn't any ball of flame." "Look at the trees." "And the birds, everything's the same as it was." "I told you nothing would happen." "Well, something did happen." "Look at Sátur,... he doesn't remember us." "Sátur,... is it true you don't know us?" "Not even a little?" "How do you want me to say it, kid?" "In formal Castilian?" "I don't know you." "But, Sátur, I'm Alonso, look at me closely." "I can't understand why you don't recognize me." "No, I don't know you." "Certainly not." "Dad." "Alonso." "Alonso." "Alonso." "Easy, easy, easy, easy." "Calm down, calm down." "Don't move, don't move." "Relax." "That's it." "You're the same on the outside." "Right, right, right." "Let it go, kid, I already explained it to you eighty times." "Maybe, but I still don't get it." "~ You've always taken care of me, don't you remember?" "~ No!" "~ You don't even remember when I shot you by accident?" "~ No!" "Not even the Portuguese?" "No, no, no." "Look, it's better if I left." "Tell your Dad I've left." "Sátur, please, you can't go." "Besides, it's déclassé to go without bidding farewell to people." "And where are you going?" "You don't know anybody." "Thank you for cheering me up." "I'm going." "~ Sátur." "~ What?" "Even if you don't remember anything, stay." "This is your home." "But I don't do it because of you, but because of me." "I wouldn't like to live with strangers." "You're a family, I'm nobody here." "It's better if I go." "Dad, please, don't let him go, it's Sátur." "Sátur, I don't want you to go." "I understand that you want to, but..." "I'd like it if you stayed." "I'd better go." "Even though I know you'll be lucky,... you're a survivor." "Nobody can get rid of you." "You're a good person, you're smart,... you're a survivor, nobody can get rid of you, Sátur." "Why are you so good to me?" "Family is first, Sátur." "Your place is here." "I swear that I'll never forget, never in this life, all that you've done for me." "Master?" "You called me "Master"?" "He does remember...he remembers us!" "If you leave, I don't know what would become of me, Sátur." "That would be end of the world, indeed." "Good evening." "Good evening." "Where is Margarita?" "Upstairs, in her room." "It's Juan, the doctor, do you remember him?" "No." "The fever has abated." "She was locked up in a hideout with Alonso,... for too many hours." "How?" "The ladder broke and they were trapped." "She got a wound in her leg." "Juan." "Juan!" "Excuse me, I didn't mean to wake you up." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "Sleep, sleep." "Juan,..." "Oh, Juan, I didn't get back in time for the wedding... because we were trapped underground." "I couldn't get out, Juan." "We have to treat that wound." "I'm so sorry." "I always let you down." "Isn't that so?" "Juan,... this letter was from Gonzalo to my sister." "Sátur grabbed it... and made a mess of it, you already know all about him." "But I swear to you... that neither Gonzalo nor I had anything to do with this." "I swear to you." "Juan, it's a misunderstanding." "I'm sorry." "Me, the only thing I know... is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "I'm sorry." "Be at ease, my love,..." "I'll heal up..." "I'm really going to heal." "Don't worry." "Why did the Master send me up to the roof?" "In view of the high wind we have here." "Sátur." "It's me." "Why are you all dressed up like that?" "I'm the Red Eagle." "Let's put it this way... we both dedicate ourselves to helping people." "You don't remember." "The Red Eagle?" "Yes." "But dressed like that?" "Dressed like this." "Do I have a name?" "You don't have a name, Sátur." "A costume?" "Not that, either." "Then what's my role?" "Get the horses ready." "We have to go back to the shrine,... to see the Virgin of the Truth." "Where is this shrine?" "Ay, Saturno, Saturno..." "This isn't in this world." "So we can say I'm the squire of a hero, is that right?" "Your sidekick, your man of trust..." "Yes, Sátur, and you're the only person who knows my real identity." "And no one else can know it, not even my family." "I won't let you down, you may be sure of that." "If I don't forget it, of course." "What are we doing here?" "To find out things about my family." "But isn't your family all in your house?" "No, Sátur, my mother was murdered many years ago,... but I'll tell you about that in the lair." "There's a mural on the wall which will explain everything to you." "A mural about your family?" "Oh, my God, what the fuck,..." "I've heard that there are people who have mausoleums and cemeteries, but a mural --- what for?" "What are you doing, Master, for God's sake, don't touch that!" "even if the world didn't end,... the Virgin's still crying bloody tears... and if not, how do you explain this?" "We'd better have her on our side, don't mess with it." "We have to have the fear of God." "Sátur, let me go." "Sátur, Sátur, Sátur!" "Here you have your miracle." "The arrow creased that rat, and the blood fell on the Virgin." "My God, what a mess!" "Think of all the people who died believing that the Virgin cried bloody tears... a mess resulting from an insignificant chance!" "What's that?" "~ A missal." "~ A missal?" "It's my mother's missal!" "Your mother's?" "This page is a bit thicker than the rest." "This is French?" "I'm going to give birth to his third child,... but he doesn't come to see me anymore." "My mother used to meet with my father in the castle of souls." "Because of the authority I have, I have my rights." "And it's said that there's a woman who plays music to attract men." "In three months I'll be great." "We can get married as planned." "~ At the feast of San Isidro." "~ Right." "Last night I saw you feeling up the guard right there in the street." "Rembrandt is here." "Rembrandt?" "The painter!" "He's asked the lady Marquesa to pose for him." "When you said Rembrandt would do a portrait of you... it wasn't exactly that sort of tableau I'd imagined." "You want to get married in the cathedral?" "At San Isidro's." "Doesn't it seem to you it's a special date for a wedding?" "I'm sinking!" "I'm drowning, help me!"
