"Thanks for letting Claudia sleep with you." "Did I have any choice?" "Look, these are the hospitals in town that we've checked out so far." "And these are the ones we still have to visit." "If my mother's still sick, she must be in one of these." "Lucrecia, there's nothing between you and me anymore." "Because you know a lot about swords and jumping around, I'm not saying no, but about women... putting the pirate and your sister-in-law there, sleeping side by side..." "You could talk to Claudia and tell her to at least put on a nightgown." "It's hard enough to sleep with her, but to do it when she's naked, well..." "Sorry..." "I'm just clumsy." "Look at yourself." "You're disgusting." "Master, hear me out." "Your mother is alive and she's in the village." "How do you know?" "I'd rather think that than something else." "When I leave the palace this evening, you'll never see me again." "Just look at us, hiding like two chicks!" "You know I can't go to sleep without seeing you." "I would give everything I have lived for you to stay a second longer at my side." "Excuse me, sir." "Could you give me some food?" "Man..." "No, I don't have any." "Please, I haven't eaten for two days." "So you stumbled, huh?" "I fell." "That's all." "I had forgotten that you are a Santillana, proud to the end." "Master, for God's sake, of course we're going to find your mother." "We'll find her even if it should be under the stones." "You can bet your mother didn't cross my path for no reason." "It's very serious, Laura, a very important secret that our family is charged with protecting." "You should always carry with you." "When you're in trouble, go to the pillars of the bridge to Briñas." "Right by the river, you'll find our treasure." "That was my son!" "Son!" "They killed the governor!" "They killed the governor!" "Is that all?" "We've done everything we could, your Majesty, but..." "These trips cost me more than what you bring back." "Your Majesty, every foray into the jungle loses us many of our men." "Firearms are new to the Indians." "What kind of ineptitude do you have among your soldiers that they can't dominate them?" "It's not just the Indians." "Just getting to the sites is a march of over 50 leagues... in a forest so dense you can barely breathe." "We must break through with machetes and confront mountain lions, snakes, and all kinds of beasts." "I'm not interested in learning what a jungle's like." "The whole kingdom depends on gold taken from New Spain." "We need that gold." "How will we pay for our wars... if this is all the gold we get?" "The royal exchequer is falling more deeply into debt by the day." "Soon bankruptcy will be inevitable." "I will not tolerate a group of indigenous people threatening my kingdom." "He's the tribal chief and he's responsible for the brutal crime." "The others are waiting outside." "I want them to receive an exemplary punishment." "Let it be known in the Americas what happens to indigenous people... when they don't submit to Spaniards." "An act of justice, your Majesty." "Our orphans will see with their own eyes how we punish the murderers of their parents." "We're done here." "Prostrate yourself before the king." "I told you to prostrate yourself." "This is the chief's daughter." "Don't kill her." "Call it compensation for the gold that we have been denied." "This has just arrived, for you." "Prepare my carriage at once." "This evening we'll resume looking." "What?" "This evening, too?" "But we just got here!" "Dear God, the more I think and rethink things, the less I understand." "How come, if we eat the same stuff!" "Where the hell do you get so much energy, if you don't mind me asking?" "Look, today we'll revisit this area." "Stop, stop, stop, stop... slow down, since we've walked over every corner on the map... with no trace of your mother." "Don't you think this is odd?" "No, nothing odd about it." "We could have passed her by without even noticing." "That's true." "But it's also true that we could have missed her because she's gone somewhere else." "After the bad impression that we Spanish caused... it wouldn't surprise me if she has fled to her homeland, France." "I don't know, Sátur." "So we could go to France, too." "Right?" "France?" "How long does it take to get there?" "Sátur, we can't go to France." "Besides, I can't leave Margarita alone just this minute." "So why don't we all go?" "Look, your sister-in-law gets some fresh air, your boy learns French,... that opens many doors, and the pirate... and with the pirate also with us, we'll look like a traveling family of puppeteers." "But remember well, all this is to find your mother, Master." "Are you listening to me?" "Sátur, I was wrong." "What does someone do who wants to catch a murderer?" "Think like a killer." "Sorry, but as usual I don't follow you." "What's this go to do with your mother?" "Well, we've got to think like her." "Like a mother." "Let's think like a woman, sure." "Like an older woman, right?" "Older, and French." "Sátur, let's see: if she allowed herself to be locked up for life to protect me and my brother and sister... now there's no point to being free... unless she'd leave without knowing whether or not we're still alive." "She has to be looking for us." "Well, if you two don't stop moving while looking for each other... then tell me how you'll both be able to find each other." "And all this is done in the dark, because neither of you knows who is who." "I have to go to places where she took me and leave a sign." "We'll start from the beginning." "What?" "Start from the beginning?" "I'm drowning!" "Help!" "I'm sinking!" "Master, isn't there some other way?" "No." "We'll go to the pond." "And hurry." "Let's get there before dark." "To the pond?" "Nothing more or less than the pond?" "Let's...go to the pond." "Miss Irene, why are you still in bed?" "Aren't you well?" "I'm a little tired, I have very swollen feet." "Well, Miss, that's normal the first few months of pregnancy." "But you have to get up,... lest your husband come in and see you sick in bed --- he'll start to worry and summon a doctor." "Let's go!" "I'm getting up." "Come on, take my arm." "Irene, I want you to put on your riding clothes." "We've been invited to a hunting preserve by the lake." "I have to discuss business." "Get on a horse?" "You know how to mount, don't you?" "It's been a while." "Do you really need me along?" "What's your problem?" "If you're my wife, you'll comport yourself suitably." "Sir." "I want you to wear it." "Today I want to flaunt you." "Thanks." "I hope you appreciate it." "Sapphire pieces are highly coveted among the high-born." "It came in the boat just arrived from the Americas." "Holy shit, so many people!" "Irene my dear, I want to talk with the Commissioner." "Uncle." "By your leave." "We made a mistake when interpreting the keys of the Virgins." "I now know where the Holy Grail is." "Where?" "In the bridge to Briñas." "The Templars were referring to it when they spoke of the depths of the Holy Warrior." "The allusion escapes me." "In the 14th century, the bridge to Briñas was known as the bridge of San Jorge,... the patron saint of warriors." "Don't come back without it." "You'll have it, your Eminence." "Cata, I'll bet he's already back." "You'll see how Floro is bringing a better future for you and your boy." "You're shivering, woman, surely out of the desire to see him." "~ Hey, hey, did you come from the Americas?" "~ Yes." "You wouldn't know, by any chance, a Floro Morales,... a man, not very tall, dark, with curly hair?" "~ No, Ma'am." "~ No?" "~ No." "Thank you, go with God." "For hundreds of years our family's been charged with guarding a precious possession." "You should always keep this with you." "Only this cross will help you get your treasure." "Never try to open it without it." "I myself always took care to protect it so no one outside the family could get a hold of it." "Only this cross will help you get your treasure." "You should always keep this with you." "The soil is soggy." "The one who took it can't be very far away." "Search everyone, and kill anyone who resists." "Let's go!" "Do not worry, there are still a lot of people still to come." "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "Don't move, Margarita." "Let me go, I don't have anything!" "What are you doing?" "Let me go!" "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Don't move, don't move." "Hey, we're not taking anything, sir, for God's sake!" "Cata!" "Cata, are you all right?" "Yes, my hand!" "My hand!" "Guard every gate." "Whoever took the Grail won't be able to leave town." "Yes, sir." "What's up, Mariana?" "You know perfectly well." "I assure you I don't know, but I guess you're blaming me for it as usual." "You've humiliated me in front of everyone." "You've been locked up here all day." "I can't imagine how I could have humiliated you." "By now the entire court will know that their king prefers a savage over his queen." "Is this about the Indian?" "I just thought she could stay here and work in the palace." "She's exotic." "Don't be disingenuous, Felipe." "I know that you haven't stopped sleeping with other women after we got married." "By God, your kingdom if full of your bastards!" "I'm sure it's very hard for a woman not being able to produce any healthy children." "I will not leave this room until that Indian out of the palace." "I don't know what fixation has caused you to dive into the pond,... when it would have been so much easier to leave a note there, under a rock on the shore." "I'm sure that if my mother returns to the pond she'll attempt to retrieve the chest where she stashed the medallion." "Then she'll find my sign." "Well, tell me how this good woman will be able to retrieve this casket,... but given that she's your mother I wouldn't be surprised if she had the skills of an amphibian." "Are you all right?" "Yeah, yeah, we're fine." "What happened?" "Some masked men on the bridge Briñas searched everyone by force." "Masked men?" "Yeah, surely they were looking for something that someone had stolen, Gonzalo." "And you, what were you doing at the Briñas bridge?" "We were waiting because we thought that maybe Floro would come in a ship arriving from the Indies." "Well, let's fix you up, we've got to return immediately to the palace." "Are you all all right?" "~ Are you sure you're all right?" "~ Yeah." "~ Did you get any news of Floro?" "~ No." "~ Catalina..." "~ Cipri, I'm in a hurry." "What will happen to us if Floro shows up again?" "If Floro shows up, it's finished between us." "But, Catalina...!" "Cipri, we can't keep on doing this to him." "I don't know what we were thinking." "Mother, I saw a ship arrived from the Americas." "Is father coming on it?" "I don't know, son, I don't know." "Whoever may have taken the Grail can't leave the village, my men are guarding all the exits." "~ I guarantee you, your Eminence, that..." "~ Enough of your guarantees!" "I don't care how you do it, Commissioner, but the Grail has to show up." "Your Eminence." "~ Your Eminence." "~ Lucrecia." "You won't join us for dinner?" "I don't want to sound rude, Lucrecia, but I'm afraid that I'm in no mood to be a good table companion." "Some other time, then." "It seems you're not making your uncle-in-law very happy." "Could it be he was hearing your confession?" "You know I don't share my sins with anyone." "Fine, but not all that long ago you shared them with me." "Ma'am, sorry to interrupt, but a servant of his Majesty Felipe IV wishes to see you." "Have him come in." "Madam Marquesa, his Majesty requires your services." "Prepare my carriage, I'm going to the royal palace." "Hernán, dear." "His Majesty told me to give you this letter." ""Marquesa, a female guest from the Americas wants to live in your palace." ""I'm sure you'll attend to her as she merits." ""I'll come to visit when my obligations allow." ""I, the king:" "Felipe IV."" "Is everything all right, Lucrecia?" "Yes, the king wants me to host a friend just arrived from New Spain." "I'll bet she's the grieving wife of the governor." "Bring her in." "Who's that?" "The best excuse to thank Christopher Columbus for discovering the Americas." "It's all right, you can go." "Prepare a room for her and tell Catalina to bathe her and provide her with clothes in good condition." "Yes, Madam Marquesa." "I commend the taste of his Majesty." "Please, Hernán!" "It's pretty sad to see a man drool at your age." "I see that the King holds you in high esteem." "He committed you to something just up your alley:" "to arrange a bed for him to take care of his guests." "Hernán, shut up." "It's normal, Lucrecia: the best courtesans make the best brothel managers." "You'll see." "You have to be a bastard for having done what they did." "Against unarmed people!" "Look...all this...all this." "For what?" "You tell me: all this, and for what?" "Sátur, are you all right?" "Yes, I think I hooked my foot on a molehill or something." "What's that?" "It's a Tau cross." "Sátur, they're looking for the Holy Grail." "So that means that the cup of Christ may be in there." "Only one way to find out." "Oh, my God, may the Holy Grail be there inside...!" "Do you think that it will grant eternal life?" "Given the state of my life, I'm not so sure I want to prolong it any!" "I can't open it." "How come you can't?" "This can't be, Master, it can't resist you, I've seen you do things much more difficult." "I'll see if I can find something in the saddlebags to use as a crowbar." "Now you find crosses on the ground, there's no longer respect for anything!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master, what happened?" "Master, say something, for God's sake." "Are you all right?" "Master, say something." "Can you work with your hand like that?" "Well, there's no other way." "Marta, who are you preparing the bath for?" "It's for a guest of the Marquesa." "She said to bathe and clothe her." "And how did you happen to prepare the bath for a guest of the Marquesa here in the servants' room?" "~ It's...it's an Indian." "~ What do you mean, "an Indian"?" "~ It's a guest of the king." "~ But I'm not planning on scrubbing a savage." "Don't tell me, it's the Marquesa's orders." "Well, what else remains to be seen?" "Fine, calm down." "How can I relax?" "Do you know what those savages do to us Spanish?" "Catalina, I'm sure that Floro's fine." "I don't plan to touch her." "You can't disobey the Marquesa." "If you want, I'll help you." "Certainly not!" "Even after we give them a religion, language, and clothing... how do they pay us back?" "You should kill them all." "Go on, put her into the tub." "Go on, you, into the water!" "You get into water and take that off, I say, we have to wash you completely!" "Don't you see she doesn't understand?" "Well if she doesn't understand me, then she'll understand this!" "You have to take this off, you piggy!" "My name is Anáhuac." "What are you doing, Catalina?" "Catalina, put the knife down." "Catalina, for God's sake, give me the knife!" "Give it to me." "Catalina, let it go." "Drop it." "So drop it, already." "There we go, that's fine." "Father, I don't like your girlfriend living at home but I don't want us at odds." "Father, I'm asking you to forgive me!" "Alonso!" "What's going on with your son?" "How are you, Master?" "~ Sátur." "~ You still can't hear?" "Oh, my God!" "It was me who should have opened it, so it would explode on me,... that's what I'm your squire for!" "Squire as a shield." "Sátur, I can't hear you." "I still can't hear a thing." "Don't mention this to Alonso or Margarita." "Don't tell him?" "And what if you never hear again?" "What if you have burst eardrums?" "He has to learn you're deaf, that you can't hear him!" "Sátur, I can't hear you!" "I have to go out." "I have to go to the orphanage." "Maybe my mother might be looking for information about my sister." "What?" "Forget it, you can't leave here." "Master, a parent who can't hear is bad enough,... a teacher worse,... but a deaf hero doesn't even bear talking about." "You're disabled." "Disabled!" "Sátur, I don't understand you, I don't understand you." "You can't go out, you can't go out, man, sit down!" "You should be dizzy as Hell from the pain you has!" "Sit there for a while, and now I'll bring you a little bit of cold water to see if you come to your senses." "Relax." "I once had my ears so stuffed with wax that it felt like swords were wedged there." "Oh, my mother, he escaped me!" "He flew away even being deaf." "Did you scrub the Indian last night?" "Yes, Ma'am, and I got her a dress like you said, but she wouldn't wear it." "She didn't even want to give up all that stuff that hung off her." "I won't mind if she doesn't want to get washed again." "I don't think any washing will get rid of the color." "Right." "When you're done here, take up breakfast." "I already did, Ma'am, but she wouldn't take it." "It was just like dinner last night." "She wouldn't permit herself a bite." "Maybe if we gave her alfalfa or a dead rat..." "They say they eat the testicles of animals." "~ And the hearts of Spaniards." "~ Oh, God, how disgusting!" "Ma'am, you know I never ask you for anything, but... but if I could, I mean..." "I'd like to ask...if it can be..." "Spit it out!" "Maybe some other servant could care for the Indian, Ma'am." "In other circumstances I wouldn't ask,... but I'm afraid that Indians may have killed my husband." "My husband went to the Americas, as you know..." "Do I tell you my problems, Catalina?" "Treat her as a deserving guest of the king." "But, Ma'am, I don't know why the king hasn't ordered her death like with the other Indians." "You don't need to know." "The affairs of the kingdom aren't incumbent upon a maid." "Come in." "Ma'am, a servant has brought this from his Majesty, the king." "~ How precious!" "~ Great!" "This day's off to a great start." "Lady, that's the nicest thing I've ever seen." "His Majesty has always known how to reward favors." "Ma'am, don't you want to read the note?" "Yes." "Catalina, bring me the seal of the Marquís and some wax, I'll write a thank-you note to his Majesty." "Yes, Ma'am." ""Tonight I will come see my guest." "Give these earrings to her as a welcoming gift." "I, the king."" "Ma'am, here you are." "Your writing kit with the seal of the Marquisate." "Leave me alone." "~ Ma'am?" "~ Out!" "Yes, Ma'am." "Buy leeks, fresh from the market." "I have the best leeks." "Fresh leeks, the best in the market." "Check out the leeks I have, check them out!" "Careful, stay away!" "The teacher, something has happened to the teacher!" "From here I don't think you can see your forest." "I know you understand me." "My servants have told me that you speak our language." "The missionaries taught you, right?" "You smell like an animal." "I have no unguent to cover the smell of pork." "Put them on." "Open the box." "The king will be visiting you this evening." "He'd like to see you wearing them." "They're for your ears." "Take care not to do it wrong, on account of all the holes you've got." "Put them on, go on." "My God!" "You're able to tarnish even the world's most expensive gem." "What a sin!" "By the way, do you know how to use a bed?" "His Majesty is a bit old to fuck you on the floor." "On the trip they raped me every night." "Then you know what our men enjoy." "Close it." "Excuse me, Commissioner." "What do you want, innkeeper?" "Sir...you forgot to pay me." "I haven't forgotten." "I'm not inclined to pay you for this crap that I've been served." "But, sir..." "I'll pay you when you learn how to cook." "Commissioner, you've been working all night, go lie down." "I'll take care of the search of the Grail." "Good." "Search every house." "Yes, sir." "Alonso, your father --- have you seen him?" "No, and I don't care where he is." "Alonso, listen to me because this is important: when did you see him last?" "This morning we were waiting for him at the school but he never showed up." "He could be there having fun with his girlfriend." "But I don't care if he never comes back." "Alonso, enough is enough!" "You say you don't want us to treat you like a child, then show that you're not one." "Sátur, this morning I asked him to forgive me but he didn't even bother to answer me." "He ignored me." "Yeah, yeah..." "let's think this through." "Let's say that I wasn't supposed to tell you this, but... your father didn't answer you because...because he had an accident and has been deafened." "What?" "Deaf?" "~ Deaf, he's been left deafened." "~ But...but what happened?" "Do you know where the teacher's house is?" "They told me it was in this street." "Here he is!" "What's going on?" "~ Father!" "~ Master." "Father...what's happened to you?" "He's been hit by a wagon." "Father, wake up!" "..." "Father!" "Tojol." "Tojol." "Tojol." "Tojol..." "So many chase after el Dorado, but it turns out it was here." "It would be unforgivable not to treated her as a daughter of our colonies merits." "At the end of the day, the Americas are all Spanish." "Ma'am, a messenger from Felipe IV has come to say that his Majesty won't be able to come tonight." "~ I'll tell her." "~ Easy, I'll tell her." "Holy God!" "When did we stop knocking on the doors in this palace?" "The next time you want to let off steam with anyone you go to a brothel." "Respect my house, Hernán!" ""Father, I've said horrible things recently and I'm scared that this is the last thing you're going to hear from me." ""I can hardly understand that you've met someone who'll replace mother..." ""but I'm not in your position." "It's normal for you to get another woman." ""You shouldn't be on your own forever." ""I'm never going to be able to forget mother." ""It'll cost me to accept that you're with someone else,..." ""but I have to get used to it, Father..." ""you're all I've got." "I love you, Alonso."" "Come on, come here." "Come here." "Everybody outside!" "Let's move!" "Quickly!" "Now!" "Why?" "You can't do this." "Get him out of here and shut the inn." "What?" "Why?" "I haven't done anything, Commissioner!" "You poisoned me." "No, my food is good!" "You can't do this to me, Commissioner!" "It's my home!" "Where am I going to live?" "No, please!" "~ If he tries to come back in, kill him." "~ Yes, sir." "Ma'am, what are we looking for here?" "This is no place for you." "It's very dangerous and we're on our own." "Shut up, Catalina." "Ma'am, don't touch her, she has leprosy!" "Sell me your spoon." "The spoon, Catalina." "But, Ma'am, if I touch it..." "Pick up the spoon." "Let's go." "Ma'am, what do you want it for?" "We're going to teach out guest --- her name's Anáhuac, right?" " we'll teach her eating with utensils." "Come on." "Step aside." "But, Ma'am, do you believe this is wise?" "It is very contagious." "I trust you to attend to our guest and not let her leave her room, Catalina." "Yes, Ma'am, but then what do I do when the king shows up?" "When his Majesty comes I don't think he will crave her company." "That woman soon won't have any ears left for hanging earrings." "You've certainly always been stubborn." "Let's see,... how do you figure to go out on your own without being able to hear?" "You've been lucky." "That you didn't break all your ribs is a miracle." "You can leave if you want, I'll take care of finishing the bandage." "Maybe I can't cook but I know how to do this." "Let's see, ladies --- I've brought a broth for the Master... that'll start giving him the sustenance he needs." "Really, go to bed, get some sleep,... and I'll stay with him, in case he needs something." "I think it's better if I stay." "You work and you have an early morning." "And I say, ladies, why not both of you,... so that the Master will be better for your attentions?" "I'll get more bandages." "I'll get some rosemary alcohol." "It'll be good for the bruise." "Lucky he can't hear, because he has an unholy mess building up." "Put on this cross, in your shape you can use the protection of Christ." "What the Hell are you doing?" "Sátur, Sátur, no!" "Don't plant this on me!" "You know what I think." "You keep up your efforts to deny God,... so no wonder you can dream up so many misfortunes." "Don't be silly!" "Come on, come on!" "Sátur, no, knock it off!" "Now, you've broke it!" "God forgive us, you broke the cross!" "The cross, you broke it!" "You've got to stop committing one sacrilege after another!" "Sátur, where did you come across this cross?" "By the bridge to Briñas." "~ Since you can't hear: the bridge, the bridge!" "~ The bridge!" "Exactly, at the bridge to Briñas, before the explosion." "And what if this was the key?" "What?" "Are you saying that your family has a relationship to the chalice?" "Holy crap, now it'll turn out that you're related to Jesus Christ himself." "Although looking at you closely, you resemble Him a bit." "Sátur, the shield!" "~ Shhh!" "~ The shield." "And "LM":" "Laura de Montignac." "What if my mother took the chalice?" "Maybe it's my father." "Coming!" "I have nowhere else to stay." "Can you tell me what you're doing?" "Master, you may not hear me but you know perfectly well what I'm doing." "A cart ran over you, just because you didn't pay attention to me!" "You can't go out in this condition, and that's final." "Sátur, I'm leaving." "I have to talk with someone who can help me meet my mother." "Talk with someone, you say?" "You can't keep up your end of a conversation, you're stone deaf." "Deaf!" "Fuck my mother!" "What are you doing?" "Do you see it?" "You didn't even smell it!" "The bird is in no shape to fly, he just isn't!" "Even if I shot it softly." "If one of these flying things you can't see hits you, you're dead." "Sátur, I don't know what you're saying, but you have to come with me." "I can ask the questions but I need someone to listen to the answers." "Fuck everything fuckable!" "You already know I can't let you down." "I'm with you, but we won't get out of this one alive." "We're going to need extra equipment." "Good morning." "Sleep well?" "I didn't sleep much." "Me neither." "Don't put those clothes back on, they're very dirty." "I don't have any others." "The rest's in my room in the inn." "Fine, I'll get you some of Floro's." "Catalina, I..." "Thanks for letting me here, to spend the night,... but...you know you're on the other side of the wall, so I can't... it's better if I look for somewhere else to stay." "But where will you live?" "I don't know, but what difference does it make?" "Cipri, hey, I wish things had been different." "I wish." "Wake up!" "Breakfast." "I'm not hungry." "Not hungry?" "Your stomach's collapsed from not eating." "Go on, sit down." "Sit!" "I haven't ripped out anybody's heart to cook it, but I hope it's to your liking." "The Marquise has ordered you to eat it all." "She doesn't like to be disobeyed." "So come on, eat." "Eat!" "No!" "Leave it." "Leave it." "I'll tell you the Marquesa you've eaten it all." "So you're here, young Master." "~ Young Master." "~ Catalina, I've been looking for you for a while." "What can I do for you, sir?" "I want my black suit ready for this afternoon." "I'm going to the execution of these savages." "Your folks are going to suffer just like you made our soldiers suffer." "~ Oh, for God's sake, for God's sake!" "~ Don't touch her!" "Don't touch the spoon." "What's going on, Catalina?" "Why can't I touch the spoon?" "Master at last, I've been asking you for half an hour to stop, to stop, I've dropped a shoe!" "And you, nothing." "Sure, since you can't hear..." "Are you all right?" "Sátur, you've lost a shoe." "May Heaven open for me!" "Can't you tell me where we're going, mostly because if I get lost, I'll know where to go." "No, I'm fine, really, thanks." "No, no!" "Where are we going, where are we going?" "I have to talk to someone." "He might know something about the Holy Grail and how it relates to my family." "He clashed with the Church over his advanced theories and the Inquisition burned out his eyes." "Since then he's lived in seclusion." "At least I have been told to who --- not where, but who, yes." "Now we're in real trouble!" "A deaf man and a blind man..." "I expect it to be as peaceful a mission as can be." "He lives in the forest of Aceveda." "But that woods is filled with bandits, everybody knows that!" "No, man, we can't go there!" "What do you say?" "Sátur, it's just as if I heard you." "Don't worry, these men are the ones who protect him." "But who'll protect us?" "What if they kill us?" "Do not you realize you're deaf as a post?" "You won't see it coming, can't see, won't see!" "No, you understand me perfectly well." "You're very smart and you understand when you want to, even as deaf as you are." "~ Right." "~ "Right"?" "Don't worry." "We'll make ourselves respected." ""We'll make ourselves respected", you say?" "This man doesn't have a clue!" "No!" "What's with you?" "Come here." "You're crazy, where are you going?" "Get right back here!" "Where you going?" "Are you crazy or what?" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "The window is very high, if you'd jumped you'd be dead." "Don't you get it?" "They're going to kill my father." "I want to see him one last time." "Hey, I'm sorry about what they're doing to your father, but he asked for it." "You've killed lots of Spaniards who wanted nothing more than to make your lives a bit easier." "~ No, good missionaries." "~ Sure." "Everything changed when the soldiers arrived." "We only defended ourselves." "You killed the governor!" "They kill women and children by burning." "All the children." "I wanted to die myself." "I didn't want to live anymore." "You'll see your father one last time." "You, have you lost your mind or what?" "The one who lost his mind was you this morning." "But girl, do you realize what they'll do to us if they learn that we have helped her escape?" "I've lost a sister." "I swear I'd give anything for having been able to say goodbye to her." "Leave that window open, and we'll help you escape." "Murillo." "Are you all right?" "So-so." "Yeah, I'm fine." "Don't worry, you can stay with us as long as you want." "It'll be good to have you with us until my father comes home." "The servants are in the stables and the soldiers are changing the guard... it's now or never." "Go on, we can't do anything else for you." "Beat it and head for the woods." "~ Catalina, where are you?" "~ Coming, Ma'am!" " Run!" "Your Majesty, it's an excellent idea to execute them in accordance with their own barbarous customs." "Who lives by the sword dies by the sword." "They deserve every last cruelty we can inflict on them." "I can't allow savages to face down the Throne of Spain." "Your Majesty, I imagine you're aware that the Pope has suffered a relapse." "Yes, I'm aware of his delicate health, but we are now pressed to other duties." "Kill them, kill them!" "Savages, kill them!" "Killers, savages!" "For the horrible crimes committed against our soldiers,... and against the Spanish Crown,..." "I condemn these men to death in accordance with their own bloody rituals." "Proceed." "Protect the king!" "Protect the king!" "Protect the king, move!" "Are you all right, your Majesty?" "Ma'am, her bedroom door was barred, she had to have left through the window." "Don't explain to me where she escaped, I'm not an idiot." "I know she slipped out the window." "What I don't know is why she didn't die trying." "And the guards, how didn't they see anything, Ma'am?" "No." "That useless trash just found this in the garden." "I assure you that if the king starts handing our responsibility, I'm not going down alone." "~ Your Eminence." "~ Lucrecia." "Lucrecia, you have to look out for your guests better." "Where is she?" "Dead." "She wanted to meet with the king without having requested an audience." "She attacked him with a lance." "Is his Majesty all right?" "We see that God has ordained that our king may die only by old age." "Lucrecia, in your position, I wouldn't play with that bracelet." "Indian women extract a vicious venom from it." "Set it aside." "Now I don't think she's going to need them." "Master, if they shoot at us here we won't live to tell the tale." "They say that in this forest bandits fire first, and then don't ask for anything." "They kill you off and if it's a miracle if they don't also fuck you in the ass." "Sátur, you have to be alert starting now." "Whatever you hear, anything, you let me know about it." "Don't worry, I'm all ears." "My God, what a responsibility!" "Let's go." "False alarm, in the end it was just a pigeon." "Master, they're going to shoot you!" "You sidestepped it, Master!" "You sidestepped the bullet!" "You have powers, how did you do that?" "Don't shout, don't cry out." "But how, can you hear now?" "Yeah." "Praise the Lord!" "See how He exists?" "God exists and works miracles." "Come on, let's go before they come back here again, you have to rest." "No, Sátur, I'm fine." "What do you want?" "I've paid enough for my alleged crimes." "Take it easy, we're just here to talk with you." "The last time someone wanted to talk to me I lost my eyes." "We've got nothing to do with the Inquisition." "I just want to ask about the Holy Grail." "Someone found its hiding place." "They've found the Grail?" "Yes." "Listen, where would that person go if she wanted to protect it?" "Why do you want to know?" "Because I need to meet the person who took it." "If that person drank from the Grail she'd be dead by now." "How would she die?" "Doesn't it provide eternal life?" "The Grail is made of a material that poisons all liquids poured inside." "Please, come back home with me." "I know it'll be very difficult to live both under the same roof, but at least we'll be together." "And if he comes back?" "Well, if he comes back...we'll cross that bridge...together." "Where is the innkeeper?" "Where is the innkeeper?" "Why?" "Hey, hey, I'm the owner of the inn." "What is it?" "The Commissioner has ordered it to be reopened." "But why?" "I don't know." "Do you want to go to the jail to ask him?" "Let's go." "Now you don't need to take me into your home." "Not now, it doesn't make sense anymore." "I'm sorry, Ma'am, I didn't see you." "Your drinking cup isn't damaged, eh?" "Give it to me." "I'll see whether I catch something." "Is it necessary to humiliate me like this?" "Juan's coming today." "He'll be telling the truth to Margarita I want to be there when that happens." "Madam, my name is Alvaro Dueñas, and I'm a fencing master,... and I've come to town to be your son's tutor." "Master!" "The Stuart tiara can always be sold, of course, to meet the needs of our troops." "I'm expecting your son." "I never wanted to hurt you." "But that's what you've done." "~ Irene's pregnancy changes nothing." "~ It changes everything, Commissioner." "It has needle scars here, just like Margarita." "Wait a moment here: are you going to save someone or not, that's the thing?" "It seems Christian." "It's just crystal." "They've stolen the tiara." "I'm glad I hired a teacher who brings such passion to his job." "I've cheated on you with another woman."
