"If we touch any nerves, we could leave him an invalid." "Or kill him, but I'm prepared to take the risk." "we'll perforate the skull, and then extract the clot." "What if it goes wrong?" "We can't do anything." "Go and fill this." "We were just hunting birds." "Holy Virgin...!" "Hunting Birds, in these hard times?" "Come on, bring that water!" "Brother!" "No...!" "He's dead." "The Countess of Narbonne has arrived and she expects to stay." "Lucretia, dear!" "Countess of Narbonne!" "He's my husband." "I'm Javier Uceda, a pleasure." "Father Javier!" "He just drank, started screaming and collapsed." "He's starting to get numb!" "The symptoms relate to the effects of a poison." "The grail is made of a poisoning material;" "any liquid poured inside..." "I think it's the holy grail." "Sorry, but you're too fond of mysteries...!" "It's a very old, it could be more than 1500 years old." "Will he be okay?" "I don't know." "Juan, please tell me the truth." "He may never wake up." "If I give up my priestly vocation would you run away with me?" "Now your vocation are the elderly?" "I waited for hours by the lake!" "I wasn't able to go." "But there was nothing I wanted more." "You didn't have the guts!" "You didn't lose me!" "Gabi, Gabi!" "Hey, Gabi!" "I'm sick of always doing what my uncle wants!" "From now on I'll take my own decisions!" "It's the holy grail." "What will you do?" "Store it." "You must destroy it right away, Master!" "My son is as he is because of that thing!" "Sátur, we can't destroy it." "The grail is related to my mother." "I will donate the bulk of my fortune, to the Hospice of St. Michael." "He wants to kill her!" "Wants to kill who?" "Don Javier." "Why else would a young man like him be with an old lady?" "For the money!" "Look, as a Christian I know it's a very serious thing to destroy the cup of the Last Supper." "Your brother died because of this." "This is a secret between us." "No one else can know, okay?" "It's the holy grail." "I tried to disrobe but someone stopped me." "If you really wanted, nobody would stop you." "Yes, if that someone is one of the most influential cardinals, besides being your uncle." "Lord, I hope you understand." "It was my fault, father, because I took the cup home!" "I took the holy grail, father!" "Let's go!" "What do you want?" "Where do you keep the cup?" "Release her, please." "If tomorrow at noon... you don't take the grail to the forest of rye, your son will die." "What did you do with the grail?" "Wait!" "What about the boy, Master, where's the boy?" "Are you going?" "Yes, I'm leaving town." "Listen, listen." "Come with me." "Please come with me!" "He's leaving town." "How about dinner?" "If it's not the true grail, we'll know where to find you." "Ah!" "It wasn't me, I didn't kill her!" "I'm sure it wasn't Javier." "We were together all night." "Kill him!" "No way!" "I've taken steps to arrange your marriage... to the heiress of the Marquis de Uriarte." "I'll say that you were with me last night." "They'll destroy your life." "It wasn't him!" "I found this in her bed!" "Tell whoever pays you... that the Red Eagle has custody of the Holy Grail now." "I was just told that your husband... has fully recovered." "I think the grail is trying to tell us something!" ""Balinium Fides," the Bath of Faith." "What does that mean?" "Legend says that the grail is the key to the Templars treasure." "We're rich!" "I got you!" "Master..." "I've been shining up the Katana and it turned out more polished than... the pot of His Majesty, you'll see." "Careful." "Damn!" "Such a habit you've got of sitting here!" "Oh...!" "Being that they invented a thing as comfortable as chairs!" "Besides, what are you doing?" "Thinking." "Thinking?" "Do you already know where the treasure is?" "I won't keep looking for it." "It's over." "It's over?" "What's over?" "It's too many years now, Sátur." "And too many dead behind my back to try to know who I am." "And after all..." "What does it matter?" "Oh, God..." "What does it mater, you say?" "Master, we haven't time for this crisis you've got!" "It's my life, I've thought it through." "It's just that we... we've spent years looking for your origins!" "And what for?" "Besides, now... we're about to discover the... the treasure that will change our lives forever?" "Money isn't the most important thing." "It isn't?" "Why, you know what I mean?" "That if you won't care about us, I will." "I'll look for that treasure, of course I'll look for it... and I'll find it!" "Sátur." "Don't, please, it may be dangerous." "So?" "That treasure... will fix up my life, and my son's, and Alonso's, and Margarita's!" "And maybe even yours." "You don't need to do anything for me." "I know, but I want to!" "What do you think I am without you?" "I'm nothing." "However, before starting," "I would ask you to lend me a hand with the maps." "Because, let's see, this wavy thing..." "What does this mean, are they mountains or...?" "Come on, Sátur, bring the map." "All right." "We'll find the damn treasure." "Really, Master?" "Yes." "Thanks!" "Then come on, let's go...!" "Let's get into the house, here." "There is a tile that's starting to get intimate with my butt." "I thought tonight you should stay here." "Now that Spain has its heir," "I prefer the comfort of my rooms." "You know that the health of our son isn't as strong as we wanted." "I pray for him to recover, daily." "It's our duty as Christians and parents." "But in case God's will is not that, there should be another male in the chain of succession." "I suffered enough by seeing a daughter and two sons die!" "A small sacrifice being Queen of Spain, right?" "I don't want to have a child in my arms that I'll lose later." "Not again." "Perhaps you should take some distance, you're right." "But you can't until we find a nurturer for Little Carlos." "What if I name the Marquise de Santillana?" "Lucrecia?" "It's a possibility." "Lie down." "This execution is not public." "And only his body will be exposed through the streets of the town." "I offer the fortune of Richard Blake in exchange for his life." "Let her go." "I'll do whatever you want." "That's what I wanted to hear." "You've come to your senses, at last." "You'll leave for Cadiz immediately." "There's a frigate waiting for you." "You'll go for the gold and you'll bring it." "You have six months to do it." "Otherwise, you'll never see your wife alive again." "Let's go!" "I'll be back." "He'll come back." "I know him." "He'll be trying with all his might." "I'm sorry." "Dinner is ready." "Yes, it's true, it's ready." "I'll give the soup one last heating so... it won't cool down... the dinner, I mean." "Come on in." "With your permission, Your Majesty." "Excuse me, but... the matter which brings me is paramount." "From time to time, Cardinal, you should come in... at a normal time, and bring good news, for a change." "What is it now?" "A diamond was stolen from the English." "The fact the English allow themselves to be robbed is not my concern." "Of course, Your Majesty." "But it turns out to be the largest raw diamond ever found." "And was stolen by a Spaniard." "I will not allow the British to soil the name of the Crown." "The Spanish are not thieves." "It was the Count of Montano." "We learned he's in Spanish territory... trying to sell the diamond." "Peace with England is hanging on a thread," "I never want to see their boats again on our seas." "Find him." "Your Majesty." "I know that it's long since we had news on each other." "But those who shared a bed never get separated." "Accept this gift as a late apology." "He carries with him something that will benefit us both." "I'm sure you'll find it and save it until my arrival." "Let the light show you the way." "Always so mysterious, Earl!" "What are you hiding?" "Every day you do more extravagant things." "But you don't live alone." "You should take the trash out." "It's a present from an old friend." "It will be good to have a slave." "If you say so..." "I had no idea you found it so hard to satisfy yourself." "Oh, Hernán, don't make me mention your deficiencies, please!" "Ah!" "I'm sorry, señora!" "Clear up this mess right now." "Come on, Catalina, what are you waiting for?" "He is a slave and he'll work here!" "So you can start getting used to his presence." "But, señora..." "Couldn't he be dangerous?" "They say they eat people." "Oh, all commoners are the same!" "You truly ignore important facts, but your head is full of gossip." "and if it's not an indiscretion, have you thought yet... what his chores will be?" "Because blacks aren't very smart." "Neither are you, Catalina, and are long serving here!" "It's quite fortunate for you, for the little you do..." "And you want us to provide him a more appropriate attire or to wash something, maybe...?" "No need." "Follow Me." "Come on!" "Come on!" "This way." ""Balinium Fides"." "The Bath of Faith." "Good morning, Master!" "I wanted to talk to you." "Go ahead." "Yes, because of course, being your squire and having me fooled, no way...!" "I don't understand." "I believed... that the engagement with the buccaneer was a ploy, but it seems it's not, there's something there!" "No, it's still a ploy." "You don't need to justify yourself, Master." "But I feel pity for Mrs. Margarita" "I've seen her there..." "all hurt." "But I understand you, you've been accumulating wheat into the barn for too long." "Sátur, it was a misunderstanding." "Nothing else." "You can call it what you want but the rest of us call it a kiss." "Look, she took me by surprise and that's that." "Otherwise..." "Surprise my foot," "I've seen you dodging bullets!" "If you didn't want it, it wouldn't have happened." "We've all dodged a kiss sometime in life." "I didn't mean to." "But it's no big deal." "Yes it is!" "Yes, until Margarita saw that kiss, you could have explained to her it was a plan." "But now..." "Now there's no way out!" "Well, that's not important now." "I'll explain it to her in due time." "But the time was now!" "Taking advantage of Juan leaving... it was now!" "Well, let's forget about the wrongs of life and..." "Let's forget it!" "Do you know where the treasure is?" "Yes." "The Bath of Faith was a Roman spa of the third century AC." "III Century!" "Damn, Master, we move ever closer to the solution of the mystery!" "The Romans were here 1400 years ago." "1400...!" "It's too long." "The Bath of Faith may not even exist anymore." "Oh yes, man!" "Yes, these people, when they built things, they made them to last." "I remember myself... once I fought bulls in a square in Rome... we now call the... the Colosseum..." "Coliseum..." "Well, something like that!" "Sátur, after the Romans, the Peninsula was stepped on by Visigoths, Muslims and us." "And each one has built on top." "Then let's go there with a shovel!" "You may live comfortably in the humblest austerity but I..." "I like more... ostentation and I much prefer the luxuries." "Well, what?" "Are we going there to take a look?" "Okay, prepare the costume!" "The work suit?" "Yes." "Have you scrubbed him well?" "Yes." "Let's hope it's enough." "See how nasty they are, barefoot all day, they leave footsteps behind...!" "I also burned incense." "He smelled a little weird, strong." "Not strong, he smelled awful," "Marta, that's how they smell, all these coloureds." "Sure, in the Savannah with beasts..." "So much?" "Girl, not that we always smell of roses, but that's why we dress up, to avoid spreading the smell." "Why is he here?" "Here?" "To steal our jobs." "He doesn't charge." "As many of them start to appear you'll see us asking for charity in churches." "If the Marquise fires us we'll find something else." "Like what?" "With these bad times!" "But we have hands and we do the job right." "Margarita, by God, you hit a tree and hundreds of maids fall down!" "Then we'll leave the village if necessary." "But where to, America?" "I wouldn't like to move away from my family." "Of course not, nor me." "What about you?" "Would you leave the village, leaving the kid and Gonzalo?" "What if I did?" "How strange!" "Have you argued with him." "No." "No?" "Catalina, the queen's carriage is entering palace." "The Queen...?" "The Queen, the wife of His Majesty?" "But what's up with her, to come without warning?" "I think it's not here." "No." "You see?" "No wonder you're the hero, the master." "And I... the squire." "Because I can't even understand a map!" "Just once I guide and we get lost." "The hot springs aren't around here." "Wait, wait, wait..." "Could it be that I'm looking it upside down?" "No." "This is the area," "They must have build the castle on top of the Bath of Faith." "I just told you... it's been too long." "Then the thermal waters are down there?" "Probably." "Then let's just dig, right?" "And don't worry, I'll do it." "The road to Ronda, I dug it by myself once I was captured." "No." "Once inside, it could fall in on us." "It's too dangerous." "We better go home." "Go back, no way!" "The danger lasts only a little while, and the treasure makes us rich for a lifetime." "Sátur, the terrain of this area is unstable." "It's dangerous even to try to enter." "Well, let's blow it up, so as to make sure!" "I don't think this is more dangerous that the bull ring or that pool..." "Do you remember?" "I remember, Sátur." "We've come here, we can't do more." "I'll think of another way to find my mother." "But is it possible...?" "No, Master, no, you tempt me with the treasure and now you deny it me!" "And that's not good Christian ways!" "While that, for you, is almost a compliment." "It's hard for me to accept too." "You don't give a shit for anything I say, right?" "You could listen to me just once!" "You won't be less of a hero for doing something good for us!" "You won't be thinking of others!" "The treasure is for the boy, too." "So you carry something that will benefit us both?" "I'm sure you'll find it and save it until my arrival." "Majesty, it's an honor." "Yes, they've repeated it several times since I arrived." "I want to see the Marchioness." "Yes, ma'am." "Let the light show you the way." "The light!" "Oh...!" "Stupid riddle!" "Madam, you can wait for her in the lounge, while testing our cook's blueberry cake." "I'll notify the Marquise, she might be in her bedroom." "Is this going to be the first mansion where I must wait?" "Of course not, Your Majesty." "The Queen never waits." "My time is very valuable." "I just want to make clear to the Marquise, that under no circumstances, will I let her educate my son." "This way?" "Yes, ma'am." "You always liked games, Count." "Look under his robes." "Under his robes." "What have you got there?" "Secret." "So you can talk?" "Do you understand my language?" "Secret." "Secret, okay..." "you've already said that." "Can you say anything else?" "What have you hanging on that cord?" "Ah...!" "Holy Virgin!" "Majesty...!" "This is disgusting!" "Nothing else we can do..." "Nothing else we can do, he says." "The treasure's there poking it's tail out, and we can't do anything." "Why, that's what I say?" "That sucks!" "But... with a little gunpowder... the gold is ours." "Here." "That's it..." "Oh, God!" "Shits!" "Saturno, you have the heartbeat of a drummer, you've even lost your ability for stealing." "Now I've left a big trail." "The master has more smelling skills than a retriever dog." "Let's see." "That's it... that's it." "That's it." "Let's go." "What do you want, Eminence?" "I guess you didn't summon me here to pray." "You know?" "Your insight is sometimes a bit comical, commissioner." "The king has entrusted me with the mission of finding the diamond thief." "In order to deliver his head to the English." "So... it's up to you that the king and I get satisfaction." "Have no doubts, Eminence, it will be done." "Commissioner..." "I hope you won't make me the depositary of your ineptitude... because if so, I'll indeed see you pray, so to end soon your ordeal." "The Marchioness and her tongue." "Marquise de Santillana they call her, prone to raise her robe, a black thing got into her home and she handed him the rod." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Who wrote that?" "It wasn't me, sir." "You don't know how resourceful I can be myself." "You know what you've done?" "Yes, ma'am, and I'm sorry." "You've put me, your mistress, in shame." "Perhaps you've forgotten who your loyalty is to?" "No, ma'am." "I'm loyal to you, but I couldn't answer Her Majesty." "And to me either, stupid!" "The next time you let someone in without announcing them, be it the queen or the Holy Spirit, I'll break your neck." "Yes, ma'am." "And now finish fixing me up." "I have to go and clarify all this with His Majesty." "You..." "Out!" "Leave." "Yes, ma'am." "Amusing morning you had, Lucrecia." "Hernan, I must go," "I haven't time for your trifles." "Entertaining scrawl." "I wouldn't take it so lightly." "Just simple gossip, Hernán, you know what the starving of the town are like." "They get bored, so they make up things to amuse themselves and fool the stomach." "This time they're not the cause, the information comes from the Queen and no one doubts her word." "Are you aware of the consequences this can bring?" "I've been the subject of gossip before." "I don't think you know the world you live in, Lucrecia." "In court they may accept certain things, but not that you laid with an animal." "You've destroyed your reputation." "And what is worse, you've dragged Nuno along." "Nuno saw it?" "Your name is the gossip of the town." "What do you think?" "It's the Marquise!" "She's holding his willy." "What is it?" "What are you looking at?" "Nothing." "What are you hiding there, commoner?" "Nothing." "Hey, hey!" "Enough, enough!" "Alonso!" "Nuno!" "Stop it!" "What happened?" "What happened here?" "All of you go to hell, fucking scum!" "Who brought this?" "What's going on?" "Wait." "Where did you get this?" " Damn!" "Have you seen this?" "It's everywhere, father." "Come on, everybody out!" "Come on, out." "I heard she didn't just go to bed with one black, but two, they made a french soup." "Sátur, that is the private life of the Marquise, and you know you shouldn't believe everything you hear." "I didn't say anything!" "But when the river flows it gushes." "And when it gushes..." "The thing, in the case of the Marquise, is that the river is overflowing." "But father, is it true... that the Marquise slept with a black?" "And if so, what's with that face?" "Yuck!" "Not yuck, nauseating!" "Doing it with a black is worse than with a dog." "What are you saying, Sátur?" "I say what I say!" "That blacks are... animals." "They don't cover their parts, they shrink heads to the size of a chickpea, and make stew of their neighbors..." "And I don't go on because the boy is here." "Okay, and we, white people...?" "No." "Don't we do atrocities?" "No." "Haven't you seen what we can do in the town." "Steal, kill, torture?" "Is it any different from what you say?" "You're an educated man, you can't compare killing your neighbor by shooting him, to eating him with your own teeth." "There are barbarians everywhere, because one of them is, it doesn't mean they all are." "I feel sick just talking about blacks..." "What was that?" "It was in the master's house!" "Easy." "My hands!" "Sorry, but..." "I'll get..." "Gonzalo, Margarita!" "Cipri, bring cold water, quickly." "What happened?" "The fire exploded in her hands." "How did that happen?" "Fire doesn't explode, right?" "I picked up a vest to shake the dust from it and it exploded in my hands." "This is Sátur's." "What the fuck did you keep in the vest for it to explode?" "Sátur, I'm talking to you!" "She almost lost her hands!" "I don't know how this happened..." "But..." "It really hurts, Gonzalo." "Easy." "What are you doing here, Marquise?" "This is not a correct way to come to the palace, I'm busy." "I know, Your Majesty, and I apologize for that, but it's very important that you receive me." "More important than ruling a kingdom?" "Of course not, Your Majesty, that's not my intention." "You came to talk about the rumour." "Majesty, for the sake of the friendship we share, I beg you," "I beg you to do whatever is in your power to stop it." "That gosip is not true." "Are you trying to suggest that my wife, the Queen, lies?" "You should better assess with whom you measure your power." "I wouldn't dare confront Her Majesty, or you," "I just say it was a misunderstanding." "The slave was naked before you," "What else could you have been doing with him?" "You see, in fact, Majesty..." "Don't try, Lucrecia." "The rumour is already all over town and look, I agree with you:" "Rumors spread like the plague and as such, we must eradicate them." "But, Your Majesty..." "Your presence is no longer welcome in the palace." "Get a doctor to examine you... they transmit all kinds of diseases." "Guards..." "Show the Marchioness to the door." "Majesty." "The Duchess of Caldas has returned your invitation to Monday's banquet." "And the same with the Counts of Valmasedo." "The palace has fallen from grace on account of me." "You couldn't do otherwise." "If I'd known that the Marchioness was pleasing herself with the black." "Catalina, it was the Queen... and Queen's... the Queen." "I don't care if it is Her Majesty, I'll cling to her petticoats... so they can't even get me apart using boiling water." "Mrs. Irene, do you want something?" "Yes, a little water for these flowers," "I've picked them on the way back from mass." "Señora, I don't want to think I'm into gossip, but... coming from outside, did you hear much out there?" "The pastor's sermon wasn't heard because of people's whispers." "What do they say?" "They're surely draging the Marquise's name through the mud." "Worse than that." "People are mean and very spiteful." "Oh, God, please, let us get out of this!" "Whoever plays with fire will burn themselves, Catalina." "God isn't going to listen now to whom didn't attend to his words." "I still don't understand how the powder made it onto your vest," "What the hell did you do?" "In the next bend turn left." "Would you answer, at least?" "I slipped." "And look at the road!" "Your nonsense could cause another tragedy." "Where the hell did you slip to get dirty with gunpowder, since it's not like sand, to be found everywhere?" "Cipriano, turn right and stop there." "Just her hands, poor thing." "And Margarita works with them, they're her livelihood, her talent." "Even more, luckily the vest had little powder, because you could have blown her up." "That I know, Cipriano, I know!" "I'm sorry for what happened." "Are you going to remind me the rest of my lifetime?" "No, of course not, Sátur..." "If I could I'd give her my hands." "But I can't do anything... only apologize and take care of her the best I know." "Well, then?" "Will you help me gather herbs to heal her hands or... are you staying there, like a ceramic cat?" "I'll help, I'll help." "Why are you standing there as fools?" "Get to work!" "Don't hurt me!" "He wanted to help." "Very well." "Damn black." "Sir, what are you doing?" "!" "Get out, or I'll kill you too." "Fuck off!" "My God, sir!" "Sir, my God!" "Sir..." "Sir." "Gonzalo asked for..." "verbena and lavender, we have to find enough." "In a few days you'll be fine, you'll see." "Does it hurt much?" "No, not so much." "Margarita, you don't need to act tough to me," "I know it hurts." "I know you very well." "Like when you broke your ankle, you said you were okay." "Do you remember?" "Not really." "When you fell into the river and you twisted your foot but you kept saying no... you were alright." "The past is past, Gonzalo." "Let it be." "I'm going to my room." "No, Margarita, stay here." "You'll sleep better, more comfortable." "No." "I'd rather go to my bedroom." "I won't upset your girlfriend." "Margarita, I'll sleep in the stable, that's why I said it." "You're better off here, with the whole bed to yourself." "I'd rather go to my room, Gonzalo." "Well, I'll walk you, but I'll fix you some milk" "Or do you prefer a broth?" "Gonzalo, let it be." "That's it." "What if I can't use my hands again?" "Are you going to feed me, dress me, sew for me?" "Margarita, that's not going to happen." "You don't know that." "You and I are not related." "So you have no obligation to take care of me." "How is she?" "Overwhelmed because she can't use her hands, but the burns will heal." "I'm glad." "Gonzalo..." "Last night, the kiss..." "Mariana, don't worry," "I understand." "You miss your husband and..." "you feel alone, it's nothing." "Gonzalo, I didn't kiss you because I feel alone." "Nuno, son..." "Nuno, you okay?" "Yes?" "Don't get up yet, you can get dizzy." "Don't touch me!" "Are you going to desert me too?" "You've slept with a black man." "Nuno..." "Believe me... sometimes things are not as they seem." "Oh, no?" "So you're not behaving like a whore?" "I won't allow you to talk to me like that." "I'm ashamed of you and that you gave birth to me!" "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." "If you promise not to scream I'll let you loose." "Hello, Lucrecia, how long's it been." "You're crazy!" "You could have scared me to death." "Once upon a time you would have loved my triumphant entrance." "We'd have even celebrated it." "As you said, once." "It is true, now we're just partners." "Partners?" "Where is the slave?" "He's fled." "I know you, Lucrecia, don't try to fool me." "It's the truth." "Why would I want to?" "Because you want to keep the diamond he was wearing." "So that's what the slave hid." "Don't play the innocent with me." "Tell me where he is, Lucrecia." "I repeat that I have neither slave nor stone." "The king has asked for my head." "I didn't pass by all his men, just for you to keep the diamond." "Tell me where it is!" "Come on." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "Why did he want to kill you?" "He's the Count of Montano." "His slave has the Englishmen's diamond." "The dogs smell the presence of a black in your house," "Why, did you hide him?" "If I find out you helped that monkey, you're dead." "He says that the smell may have stuck to him, while working with the slave in the palace of the Count of Benavides." "Okay, don't free him until we check it's true." "Search the streets, and then the forests and rivers." "Let go of me!" "Devil!" "Don't move!" "Sátur, drop that." "He wanted to hurt the boy, he's a dangerous animal." "He's a devil!" "He's asking for help." "Alonso, go away." "What will you do?" "Back!" "Don't move." "Sátur, stop that." "Easy, we won't hurt you." "Sátur they coming after him, we have to hide him." "Don't let him in the house." "If we don't hide him he'll be captured." "Don't you hear the dogs?" "Don't worry." "My name is Gonzalo." "Think about what your doing, it's a black and a fugitive." "Enough!" "You'll never learn to listen to me." "If I may ask, Eminence, have you informed the king that it was me who found the Count?" "Of course I did." "How else could I explain such folly?" "Folly?" "The king asked for the head of the Earl of Montano, and I have given it." "Indeed, and he will deliver it the English, but that is not enough, Commissioner," "I remind you that the Count was not the goal, but the means to find the stolen diamond." "My men are looking in the forest, in the area where he was found dead," "I assure you he wasn't carrying it." "I know." "I know." "I took it upon myself to make a thorough inspection of him." "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, eminence." "Please, marquise, sit." "Nice earrings." "I always thought that you have a commendable taste." "As much as you strive to prove otherwise with your exotic escapades." "Thank you, Eminence." "Nevertheless, it's curious..." "What's curious, Cardinal?" "I don't understand." "That the late Earl of Montano, carried hooked between his robes a ruby... exactly like the one missing in your earring." "I believe this belongs to you." "Me being with the Count means nothing." "Of course, marquise." "But don't make it harder on me, surrender the stolen diamond before nightfall, otherwise I'll have the obligation... of giving you up to the king." "You can't accuse the Marchioness of anything, she doesn't have the jewel." "Maybe you're associated with the Marquise to betray the king?" "I'm afraid on this occasion you have poorly chosen your allies, Commissioner." "Having it or not, she has conspired against the interests of the Crown, and even if it were not so..." "Count Montano and the Marchioness... were lovers in the past." "That was many years ago." "Tell me, who'll the King believe;" "a rundown noble... or a faithful servant of his Church?" "If you give me up, the King will ask for my head." "You know what to do, Marquise." "I hope you have a good day." "Commissioner." "Eminence." "I've already locked the coloured in his room, as you ordered." "Now you hear the dogs..." "You should have thought of something better." "What are you doing?" "Are you going to put on the work suit?" "You see, you and I haven't talked about... about the accident." "Well, about Margarita's hands, I mean..." "Sátur..." "If you'd killed her..." "If I'd killed her, I'd kill myself!" "Never..." "Never take anything from this hideout without my permission, do you hear me?" "Let me go find that treasure, for God's sake." "You still haven't had enough?" "You don't understand." "I don't care if I die in the attempt!" "If I don't bring it here and fix her life, what I've done to Margarita will have been for nothing." "Let me try, Master, please." "Forget it." "You have to take care of the African." "No, no." "I won't lift a finger for that black." "I have to bring the treasure, Margarita deserves it." "What you did to Margarita has no solution, but for him, you can still do something." "I won't do anything for him!" "I won't endanger my life for...!" "For an animal!" "He's a person..." "No." "Like you and me." "No, no, no." "You're going to help him." "No, Master." "No." "He doesn't know our language, he doesn't know where he is, if we let him go back by himself to Cadiz he'll die." "If he doesn't survive, bad luck, it can't be helped." "That's your problem;" "you only think of yourself." "What about you?" "So much chirping and..." "What do you intend to do for the black?" "When you change his clothes, I'll take his pants as a decoy, for the dogs to follow me, instead." "Come on, there's no time to lose." "You're forcing me to do something against my will!" "So much speech about Masters and slaves... and blah blah blah..." "And in the moment of truth you're just like everyone." "It's not that," "I just want to check if you can do something for others." "Even just a little." "If you don't come... never enter this house again." "Very well." "May I know what you're looking at?" "You even make fun." "But Africa is very far." "Back in the world's ass, more or less." "Africa?" "No, Gaul!" "Of course we're going to Africa." "But I'll take you to Cadiz, so you ship and make a living on your own." "What are you doing?" "Little beast, what the fuck do you want a stone for?" "Off, man, off." "I won't keep it, who knows how long it was there sweating with your clapper." "Damn!" "Yuck!" "Leave the stone and get on the cart, if someone sees us we'll lose our hair, come on." "I don't want any gift." "Shit!" "Let's see how I can explain it." "I...with you...don't want to be, so..." "Stop it, I said." "No." "Stop it!" "Shit!" "What stench is this?" "Catalina!" "Señora." "You smell it too, right?" "But what is it, ma'am?" "I don't know... but find it and sort it out immediately." "Yes." "It's horrible." "God!" "Catalina, I mean today!" "Maybe your house smells this way usually, but I can't stand it." "Madam, I don't know..." "Who did it?" "I don't know ma'am," "I'll gather the servants to see if anyone saw anything." "This level..." "you've brougt our name." "It was you!" "This is how we'll be treated from now on." "As if we were shit!" "Don't further humiliate your mother." "You owe her respect." "She humiliates herself." "And the worst is that she humiliates me, too." "Enough, Nuno." "Catalina, collect those sheets." "Yes, sir." "Señora..." "If you want I can burn them." "Do what you think best." "I want them out of my sight." "Yes, ma'am, right away." "Señora, they've..." "They've spotted the slave near the Alamillo forest." "Let's go and find him, if it gets dark he'll have more opportunities to escape." "Get back..." "Did you think I'd let a beast like you escape?" "Make sure he suffers before you kill him." "Come on." "You heard the commissioner." "Have fun." "Where is this man?" "Shit!" "Bastards." "Oh, Margarita, if God gave me your hot body," "I'd be such a fever for men." "Have you seen how I am?" "Look what goose-like neck." "What do you want hands for with this anatomy?" "Because I'm a seamstress, Catalina, I need them to work." "Careful, don't get them wet." "If Juan were here, for sure he'd examine your hands and find a medecine to cure them." "Yeah, but he's not and won't return." "Such negativity, light is shining on you and all you see is shadows!" "You'll see you'll soon fix up your life." "Yes." "And soon Gonzalo will marry and form a family," "What am I going to be?" "What will you be?" "What you are now, the aunt." "Yes." "The crippled aunt who lives with them... and they'll have to keep out of pity, that's what I'll be." "I don't want to be a kept woman." "Oh, God!" "you have too much time to think, and thinking so much is not good." "You could pay more attention to what happens around you," "Many people are in worse condition than you are." "Get up." "The black, without going any further, angelic one, they caught him in Alamillo forest and they'll kill him." "That's a problem." "Sorry, I'm bringing a little more hot water." "No need, we're done." "Thank you." "Well, I'll leave it here, just in case." "Look, the teacher got flushed." "Let's cut off his toes, so he won't run anymore." "God!" "Hey!" "Is this the way to Cuenca?" "Wow... a dwarf and a monkey." "We've assembled a circus." "Go on, get out." "If I go back without him... the trainer gets upset, you know?" "What's up?" "Are you friends with blacks?" "No." "Come and join him." "Come on, I mean today!" "Yes, I'm coming." "No, please, have mercy." "For Christ's sake, have mercy." "Do you know how to pray?" "Then pray..." "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, pray for us..." "Don't die, don't die." "You didn't have to die." "You didn't have to die." "Are you okay?" "Help me, let's bury him." "You're right." "Although this man didn't reach his homeland, he may at least receive Christian burial." "Man?" "Sátur, you said man." "Yes, I said man, yes." "I learn at my own pace, late and wrong, but I learn." "When we finish, we'll go back to the castle." "To the castle?" "You said castle?" "Yes." "Did I miss something or have you changed your mind?" "Sometimes to see things clearly one has to look elsewhere..." "And you've made me do it." "Me?" "But what have I done to change your mind?" "Oh, Master, don't make me feel guilty..." "Because for the anger I had at your stubbornness," "I've done nothing but curse you behind your back." "I beg your pardon, forgive me, by God's sake." "Without you I'd never have understood that if I want to find my mother" "I must keep running risks." "That's it..." "Do you see?" "You just disarmed me... with this golden mouth you have," "I can't argue, just... admire you." "Let's go." "Here is the precious stone." "So solid as I hope your discretion to be." "Of course, Marquise." "Although I doubt that the king remains fullly satisfied in the case of not managing to recover it." "What?" "Aren't you going to deliver it?" "I won't be the one to change the Lord's designs." "So that some win, others have to lose." "Such is life." "But, Eminence..." "His Majesty will not forget it." "He has a conflict with the English." "The king... has been advised by his advisors, among whom I am." "That issue will be resolved... in a more convenient way." "Lucrecia." "Eminence." "Eminence." "You saved your head..." "But your son doesn't speak to you and your reputation is in tatters." "Hernan, I remind you who you speak to." "I have fallen many times and as many I got up," "I'll get out of this one." "Why doesn't it blast?" "Be patient." "What if the powder is wet?" "Damn, the blast caught me with my mouth open!" "Are you okay?" "Sátur, you have to be careful." "Don't worry... chewing strengthens my jaw." "Although I don't know if it's as good... for the head." "Sátur, come on." "But, look at you." "How do you do it?" "I wear dust up to the ass and you're pristine." "While wearing the right suit for the occasion..." "Don't change the subject." "You're right, we're looking for your mother and eventually... get rich." "But you could give a second thought to the suit thing, won't you, Master?" "Well..." "I hope the hole is sufficiently deep to get in." "What, inside?" "Come on." "Sátur..." "What?" "I know don't need to say it but... if something happens to me, take care of Alonso and Margarita." "Yes, master, yes." "No, wait, wait." "Wait..." "I'll go in, not you." "No, it's dangerous." "You don't understand..." "Now it's the other way round." "It's me who takes the risk, and you take care of Alonso and Margarita." "Sure... after a long time I've come to understand, yes..." "You didn't understand, I'll go down." "Lately, you're fond of opposing me, but don't be stuborn." "Sátur, I'll go in, you, watch the horses." "Don't look at me like that, Master, you already know that I'm not one for watching from the sidelines." "Fine, but don't touch anything." "You could cause the ceiling to collapse." "Look at these columns." "All this is more than a 1000 years old." "I already told you, the Romans build things to last." "Good base and foundation, of course." "So much history contained in this site!" "If only these walls could talk." "They'd tell us what happened to the treasure." "Because here not even the water of this fountain shines." "You can't see anything." "What are you doing?" "Search for clues." "And it's not a fountain, it's a pool for bathing." "Didn't you see any hot springs when you were in Rome?" "The truth is that on that story I have some gaps." "Because among those Roman and those not Roman..." "I mean the women, not the baths." "Nice... women, the Romans, slender and graceful." "And I tell you, I met some at a bacchanal." "At a bacchanal?" "A bacchanal, yes, a bacchanal." "Don't you know what a bacchanal is?" "Shit." "Sure, so austere as you are with food and the other thing, no wonder you don't know them." "I'll explain..." "Sátur..." "I know what a bacchanal is." "Forgive me." "The fact is that this was one fornication of all with all, so if you weren't cautious you couldn't tell if you were eating cod or venison." "These screwed Romans, they knew the high life, right, Master?" "I'm bored, I'm so very bored." "Summon the other ones." "Your wish is my command, my lord Saturno." "Sátur..." "Call me Sátur." "Sátur..." "Sátur..." "Sátur!" "Sátur!" "Huh?" "What up?" "I'm talking and you don't hear." "I was obsessed with the Roman civilization." "sorry, what did you say?" "That I'm going in." "You're going in there, what for?" "To see if there are any clues." "What have you lost there?" "Wait, it seems there's a symbol here." "Are you sure?" "It seems to me that rather than a symbol it's crap." "No, it's an anchor." "Man, there's water here." "But it seems to me, that not many ships have docked." "No... the anchor is a symbol of Christian doctrine, representing hope in eternal salvation." "A Christian symbol you say?" "Do you also know about this?" "But you're not even Christian." "Not believing in Christian doctrine doesn't mean I reject it in full." "Basically every belief talks about how those people see the world, so I'm interested." "Master, you're a well of wisdom." "Did I say a well?" "A pool, I mean, taking advantage of the situation." "Careful, Master!" "What is it?" "I don't know, something moved here behind you." "Sátur, there's nothing here." "There it is again!" "There, Master!" "Get out of the water, for God's sake!" "Sátur, there's nothing here." "Get out of the water!" "Look at them, look at their clothes." "We are much better than them." "Why are you doing this, mother?" "My hairs still standing on end, Master." "Holy cow!" "We're the laughingstock of the town." "I won't hide." "It belongs to a child." "Sátur!" "Help!" "What good is the title now?" "What happened to me, Master?" "You fainted while looking at the skeleton." "Sátur!" "Sátur?" "Sátur, What's wrong?" "We must find out who the child was, and why he was there?" "Are you okay?" "With your games you endangered Nuno's life." "Those savages did it." "I returned to the forest, and I took the skeleton of the child, it's in the hideout." "I'm Rafael Valverde." "The best bullfighter in Spain." "What do we owe the honour of your visit?" "I invited myself." "He'll stay a few days in the palace." "And I found this:" "The emblem of the town orphanage." "the same one you were in." "I admit that when you invited me, I felt some curiosity." "A queen, a Marquise and a black slave." "In court they talk of nothing else." "That kid was locked in that hole for days." "It can't be, it's impossible." "No food, no water and in complete darkness." "He shattered his nails trying to get out." "What is it?" "There is a complaint against Margarita Rando, for practicing witchcraft." "Let go, I'm not a witch!" "What do you want of me?" "For us to announce our engagement tonight." "Shoot, by God!" "Shoot!" "Get out!" "I saw scratch marks in the pit, that child was buried alive."
