"One of the Infant's nurses will leave the royal palace, and their royal Majesties will seek a replacement thereafter." "Nobody calls the Earl a cuckold without paying for it." "My father just died." "They brought him here from Florence." "He didn't take care for us in his fucking life, and now he sends me this miserable inheritance?" "Can it be that no one in the whole kingdom has imagination... enough to entertain their king?" "The king has canceled all engagements in honour of his saints day." "I'll organize something big:" "a Roman circus." "A key." "What the hell does it opens now?" "How will we get the king to accept?" "No Roman circus is complete without an emperor to preside over it." "You must take it to the jeweler for him to engrave our names." "Yes." "And this is for my mother, for leaving her to die alone." "And this..." "Sátur, Sátur!" "Where is your father's coffin?" "Have you heard of San Pedro's finger?" "You mean the relic stolen in Italy last month?" "The person who stole it, was to bring it to me in a carriage from Florence, but there were problems in the exchange." "The crown, I left it here, it's been stolen." "Don't tell me that!" "I mean it was stolen!" "I introduce to you those who will die in the arena, son." "And where did you get them?" "They're my prisoners." "Take them to the dungeon." "Yes, sir." "Who would take the coffin of a servant?" "It makes no sense." "Let it be, Master." "I lost the golden crown that they were going to give to the king." "They looking for actors for a performance to be held tomorrow." "Roman Circus." "Sounds good." "I came to sign up for the show." "Hey, no, no!" "What are you doing?" "Let go!" "Let go of me!" "I lost something very important and I need money to get it back." "No!" "Why are you locking me here?" "What will they do to us?" "Can you tell me what's wrong with you?" "Nothing, ma'am." "She didn't notice." "The señora didn't, but the king will." "It's just some iron covered with gold leaf, Catalina." "Sátur." "Where is the relic?" "Remember this?" "You had it here." "If you happen to remember where the relic is, tell my men." "Help!" "I present to you one of the candidates to be the nurse of our child:" "Beatriz de Lens." "What a chore you've got, to wash Master Jacobo's underpants!" "Yes, and you see how much effort it's taking to make them clean." "It has the poop stains well incrusted, since he it does nothing but eat chickpeas..." "Come on, good..." "let's go to the palace, the señora will want you to dress her." "But how can I leave you here alone?" "I'll wait." "Hey, don't worry, go on." "Okay, I'm going." "Don't stay too long, the weather is getting very bad." "Go on, see you later." "Give us everything you've got." "But I have nothing, I'm just a servant!" "Well, we won't leave empty handed." "Please!" "Take her." "No, no, please!" "Help!" "Help me!" "Are you okay?" "Yes, thank you." "You're welcome." "I'm Captain Patrick Walcott." "I'm Margarita." "A pleasure." "You want me to take you somewhere?" "No thanks, it isn't necessary." "Really, I insist." "I don't want anything else happen to you." "Here, I bring you your morning wash, master." "It's that you get here just after getting out of bed, and... you end up smelling like a tiger." "How come that face of frustration?" "No matter how much I look at it it's worthless." "I don't even know what I'm looking for." "Do you want me to ask Paquita, the gypsy?" "No Sátur, no." "Because this woman in addition of offering intimate services... they say she cures the jinx." "And for us, who are looking for the noble beggar, she comes in handy, and then this key, which we don't know what it opens." "We have to find out if we want to find the treasure." "Holy cow!" "Master!" "What is it?" "The key... it opened the chest." "It also works for this one." "It's a master key." "The mother who gave birth to the templars!" "But how can it be a master key?" "It opens whatever's locked." "But Master, if it opens them all then we have nothing." "How are we to know which lock hides the treasure?" "It's seems like someone prepared this, someone who's following us to cackle over the journey we're on." "Wait." "What?" "Here, it seems to be an inscription." "What did I tell you?" "and on top of that an inscription." "And what does it say?" "Fontem veritatis." "Fontem veritatis, the fountain of truth." "No Master, no!" "They say a man killed his son there... and since then that fountain is... cursed!" "You can hear the baby's cries, and also you can see him... reflected in the water." "We'll go." "What?" "I'm still excited about your entry in the palace gardens." "In top of that, that horse, with that wonderful Englishman." "Yes, luckily he was passing by the lake," "I don't know what an Englishman is doing in Spain." "But girl, how come you didn't ask him... when you were there, perched on his back?" "Ah, it's that you were focused on other things." "I understand." "Hey, what do you think we did?" "Because he just brought me here." "Man, I'd say so because you were pawing him..." "Me?" "No, I was gripping him to keep from falling from his horse." "Ah. that will be why, not to fall!" "Let's start working, it's too early in the morning... for me to start imagining what happened and get excited." "You say you can't go on?" "But you only spent 10 minutes on it!" "Get back right now," "I'm not paying the best arms instructor in the court for you to waste it." "Mother, fencing isn't that important, eh?" "For you, it is." "Someone of your position has to be able to manage in this type of situations." "Mother..." "You shut up." "You don't even know how to keep upright on a horse!" "Mother, I'm not for battles and quarrels, I have other talents." "Well you tell me which ones." "Look, son, I have bore you, and it hurts me more than anyone, but the true is:" "you're nothing special." "Señora, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her." "It's you who killed her." "My mother..." "hanged herself." "But what do you mean, señorita?" "You accused her of adultery, and she couldn't stand it." "She hanged herself." "Mother, she's the daughter of the Count of Abrantes." "She was hanging in her bedroom, wearing her wedding dress." "You've killed her." "It's you who killed her." "You've killed her." "You killed her, mother." "Nuno de Santillana and Guzman." "Majesty, thank you for receiving me." "Lucrecia's son is always welcome in my palace." "Why have you requested an audience to see your king?" "Majesty, I want you to send me to war." "You have the courage of Santillana, there is no doubt, but you're too young." "Excuse my insistence, Majesty, but I've spent years receiving instruction." "I'm ready." "I'll resort to you when I need to." "In war experience is very important and you still must acquire it." "I'll prove to you that I'm ready." "Majesty." "You're dismissed." "Majesty." "Eminence." "The King of England... informs you that he's traveling through Spain bound for France." "with his future wife the Infanta Catalina of Portugal." "If he wants to step on my territory, he shouldn't inform me, he should ask permission." "Certainly, Your Majesty." "An affront like this could be a reason to declare war, but as you know the kingdom's coffers couldn't afford that." "The money can be supplemented with intelligence." "Excuse me, Your Majesty, but..." "I don't understand you." "What do you mean, exactly?" "I'll organize some friendship games between the English and Spanish." "King Charles won't come out them alive." "Given the escort and bodyguard, that usually accompany the king, even simply approaching him could be extremely difficult." "I know his greed;" "he'll never refuse a valuable gift, and that... will lead him to his death." "Father." "Father, have you heard?" "What?" "The king has organized a joust against the British." "Those jousts shouldn't be held, all they'll do is to increase the hatred between the two kingdoms." "But for me it would be an honour to participate." "And teach a lesson to the English." "The boy is right." "Those guys need someone to teach them a thing or two." "Where were you?" "We must go to the fountain of truth." "I had a little errand to do." "It's that I fear, that when I tell you what I was doing," "You'll yell at me so much as to leave a ringing in my ears for days." "It's that I've signed you up, to the joustings." "You've done what?" "Signed you up as a representative of the people." "Don't you know that there has to be one?" "You know I can't do it." "What do you mean you can't?" "We Spanish people deserve some joy." "As pay back for what those English did to us in the past." "And who better than you?" "Sátur, I'm the towns teacher, I don't fight." "So you aren't going to do anything?" "No." "But, has it been erased from your mind, the incident of the Armada, when the Spanish nation fell to the English?" "By stirring up the past we won't get anything good, just open old wounds that were already healed." "Healed?" "Tell that to the grandfather of my friend Pedro." "They cut off his legs and he had to crawl like a snake all his fucking life." "Tell that to him and to all those who suffered the war, that the wounds are healed, tell him." "The war has nothing to do with the joustings." "Master, the memory of those dead will only rest in peace... when us Spanish... when us Spanish feel..." "How the hell do you say it?" "Revenged." "Revenged!" "You wining these joustings, that's all we have." "You still don't understand, right?" "My son's life depends on people thinking I'm a coward." "This shouldn't ever have happened." "Mother, why not confess?" "It was an accident, they must understand." "The Count of Abrantes hates us, he'll never believe that we killed his daughter by accident, ever." "Okay, mother, but what if we get caught?" "If they catch us, we're dead." "We'll take her out the palace tonight." "She'll be found in the forest." "Let them think that someone has done something to her." "It's the commissioner." "Open up, open." "What do you want?" "The daughter of the Count of Abrantes has disappeared." "This morning when she said goodbye to their parents... she told them she'd come here." "Have you received her?" "Yes, that's true, but she left a while ago." "Did she mention where she was going?" "No, no, no." "She was very distressed." "Well, she said she wanted get some the fresh air in the forest." "Isn't that so, son?" "That's it." "To the forest." "Her horse returned alone to the palace." "Something happened to her." "Oh... no!" "If we can do something, Commissioner..." "That you're here is sufficient, for if I need you." "My men are already looking around the palace." "I... will question the servants." "Very well." "Mother, with the palace full of guards, how will we get her out?" "I don't want to bother you," "But I've withdrawn you from the jousts." "Thank you." "Well, I just wanted you to know." "I'm going home to sweep up, that's my thing." "Sátur." "What?" "No need to go." "Whatever you say." "As I can't make any decisions for myself, then..." "No, I didn't say that, I said you should be careful." "You should know that habit causes us to lose fear and let down our guard." "To let down our guard?" "And you say that to me, who sleeps with one eye open and one closed since I first met you?" "Really, I mean it, I don't sleep." "The Child, the baby!" "Sátur, there's nothing here." "You mean I don't feel, or hear, or see, or suffer." "Because I can shit, otherwise what am I, a turnip?" "Let's see, there has to be a lock here to put the key in." "I only see this hole, here." "Wait, maybe the lock is inside." "What do you doing?" "Sátur!" "Master!" "Master, it's full of snakes." "Get me out of here, by God." "Don't move." "Where are you going?" "Don't leave me alone." "Master, by your mother, get me out of here!" "Here." "There's something down there." "Don't tell me you're going in there, Master." "Don't, by God, come on." "[If everything is to your satisfaction, your Majesty.]" "[I shall prepare the friendship games against the Spanish.]" "[It is not the only thing you must prepare, Captain.]" "[But how will you ensure the Spanish King participates in the jousting?" "]" "[They're here, Your Majesty.]" "Welcome, Your Majesty." "It's always a pleasure to meet with my counterparts... from the courts of Europe." "With the permission of your Majesties, it's very reassuring to see how you leave aside... the small differences that have arisen lately, to enjoy the games before us, obviously." "The friendship games are an excellent opportunity, to strengthen the harmony between our nations." "Here's to them." "Whisky, unlike your Spanish wine but men's drink, no doubt." "different from your Spanish wine, but a men's drink, undoubtedly." "I hope you like it." "I present to you:" "Captain Patrick Walcott." "If you want to bet on someone in the jousts, go with him." "The English always so keen to invest their money in the game." "You may find it more stimulating than a simple bet... to participate yourself in the joustings, to fight against me." "It will be a pleasure to meet you tomorrow." "May the best man win." "[You understand Spanish pride well, Your Majesty.]" "[You knew he would accept the challenge.]" "[To refuse would be an unthinkable sign of weakness.]" "[No King would ever do that.]" "[If the Spanish King happens to be injured in the jousting,] [and dies sometime afterwards,]" "[no one will suspect that the lance was poisoned.]" "And if they ask us, what do we say?" "Because I know nothing." "The best we can do is to stay calm, so the commissioner see that we have nothing to hide." "Anyway, I saw her go upstairs, but not down." "Catalina, what did they ask you?" "If I saw the daughter of the Count of Abrantes leave the palace." "What could have happened to that poor girl?" "Well I don't know, but God forbid, nothing." "Señorita Irene, are you okay?" "The horse threw me into the pool." "Bless me Lord." "Come on, get up to your room," "I'll send someone to prepare your bath." "Take off that shirt, you'll catch a chill." "Yes, first dry yourself." "Sit there." "I'll fix you a drink, at least to warm up your body." "That's it." "Sit down." "Come on, drink." "Wait, I'll hand you a towel." "Here you go." "Thank you." "God!" "I'd better go get dressed." "Margarita, look what they've brought for you." "It's beautiful!" "Hello, my love!" "Hey, who's this from?" "What a beautiful thing!" "Oh, how beautiful!" "How very nice!" "Oh, my love!" "Hello." "How very nice!" "Oh, he wants kisses!" "Go." "Well, what?" "Hey, who's this from." "From Captain Patrick." "He says he expects me at the lake at eight, he's delighted to know me." "Sure, the rascal, and he'd like to know you more thoroughly!" "Now, do you know what I mean?" "He seems very good to me." "that joy you bring to your body." "What are you saying, Catalina?" "I won't do that!" "That's not appropriate." "Ah, it's not appropriate." "And who's to say what's appropriate and what's inappropriate?" "I think in this life, we bear too much pain, to on top of that, impose rules on ourselves." "You go to the lake and enjoy yourself." "The joy of today will be the tears of tomorrow." "Don't you know why the soldiers come here from foreign lands?" "They promise women the sky and the moon, and before they realise it they're alone and pregnant." "So you're going to make me work more than necessary:" "you didn't see the daughter of the Count of Abrantes leaving the palace." "Do you know what I think?" "I think that you or one of the unfortunates... who work with you took her... and went too far." "Perhaps the darkness will enlighten your mind so you give me an answer." "Take him, then keep searching with those working outside the palace." "Yes, sir." "Come on!" "Have you discovered anything, Commissioner?" "None of the employees saw her leaving the Palace." "And how can that be?" "When I'm done interrogating the grooms and the gardener, I'll be sure, but it seems she didn't leave here." "That's impossible, I showed her out myself." "If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work." "Close the door, hurry." "Shut the door!" "They'll discover us, mother." "What are you doing?" "What's up?" "Help me get her clothes off." "Remove her clothes?" "What for?" "Relax, you have nothing." "Maybe so." "If you got a snake bite I assure you that you'd notice it at the time." "Well, then thank you very much, master." "And now, if you don't need me, I have something to do." "Where are you going?" "To sign up for the jousting." "Since you won't go and no one's signed up, someone has to represent the people." "Sátur, you've never fought, you'll not endure a single strike." "Yes, I know I've never wielded a lance, that in the war, I just learned the art of playing the drum, and not how to fight, but I'm going to do everything in my power." "The joust isn't a game." "Do you know the force a lance carries?" "What's up, you won't fight and won't allow others to, either." "No, all I want is for you to live." "If you get hit you'll be smashed inside." "What's up with you, is that you're not patriotic, you care the same for China or for France." "But not me." "The world is Spain, for me." "If I lose my life in defending it, so be it..." "Okay." "Genaro, the baker's cousin, has forged them for you." "He didn't sleep all night." "Then he lost sleep for no reason at all, because he won't fight." "How can it be, when the neighbors are so excited?" "They even did a fundraising to pay for it." "I'll go myself." "You?" "Yes, me." "What's the problem?" "I'll fight." "Come on, girl, you have strange ways, too." "What are you thinking about, leaving the boy planted there like a mushroom, and not even giving him the benefit of the doubt?" "Don't, Catalina," "I don't want to go to the lake, or be with any man, nor bring any joy to my body," "I want to be alone." "If that's what you think, you should stop living your life and become a nun." "Well, see, I might think about it." "Do you know what's wrong with you?" "That you don't want to be happy, that's what's wrong with you." "Like I said." "Good night." "See you." "Bye." "My father taught me to do things the right way, and with you I've done them wrong." "I'll start again." "My name is Patrick Walcott," "English captain." "Born in York, I'm the youngest of three brothers," "I'm single, and not looking for a one night affair." "Oh, no?" "But I thought you soldiers used to leave a woman in every port." "I wasn't educated that way, and I see you aren't, either." "No," "I don't go around saying yes to any stranger who asks me to go to the lake." "Work leaves me little time for what's important." "I apologize." "I've been too direct." "Such a scolding I got for signing you up!" "However when Cipriano told you, there you go and jump straight in." "Am I being heard?" "Then, if you didn't want to, why did you invite me to go for a walk?" "I'll tell you tomorrow." "What's the señora doing with an Englishman?" "Good Evening." "Hello." "Gonzalo, this is..." "Patrick, Captain Patrick." "He saved me this morning." "This is my brother-in-law." "Saved?" "You didn't tell me a thing, Margarita." "Okay, I'm going." "Tomorrow I must get up early, I'm participating in the jousting." "So will do my master, too." "See you tomorrow." "Good bye." "Margarita, what happened?" "Are you okay?" "Yes, this morning, they tried to rob me, but I'm fine." "Good night." "Good night." "Damn!" "Having a hero at home, and saved by an Englishman." "The shoemaker's son always goes barefoot, Master!" "(Proverb)" "No, and by the way, we have to get to the blacksmith, to see if he'll lend us a stone to polish the edges of the shield." "Maybe he's taking a shit, or making love to his wife, and we're disturbing him." "He cut his wrists." "It's impossible that no one saw or knows anything." "The Count has lost his wife and daughter on the same day," "I can't tell him that I can't find the culprit." "We must do something." "B.A." "Beatriz de Abrantes." "Whose is this?" "Answer: whose is this?" "The gardener's." "Bring him." "He lied." "What have you done with the daughter of the Count?" "I know nothing, sir." "Have mercy." "Did you force her?" "You killed her, and you stole her underwear, keeping it as a souvenir." "You're a heartless." "No, sir, I haven't done anything." "Oh, no?" "No!" "The next time you're skin will fall off in shreds." "Do you want to think about it a little further and answer?" "No, I swear!" "Where can this man be?" "It's an hour until the jousting, and we still need to dress him." "Alonso, be more generous with the bacon." "See that your father doesn't lose his erergy in the struggle." "Bigger!" "Good morning." "Master." "Father, I'm fixing breakfast for you." "Fine." "You eat fast, there's no time." "I am very proud of you." "Thank you, son." "I'll saddle the horse, meanwhile you eat breakfast." "I don't mean to disturb you, but it's the first time the boy feels proud of you." "I know that." "What's wrong with you?" "The boy tells you he's filled with pride, and you pull face like that?" "I attended the blacksmith's wake." "No, no, no, no, no." "Don't lose focus, stay sharp for the joust, we're not in the mood for mysteries." "One man is dead, I can't overlook it." "Look, Master, don't think I'm insensitive," "I'm sorry about poor Thomas, too, but don't complicate things, he committed suicide, period." "No, there's something odd here, Sátur." "But what's strange or odd?" "Have you ever committed suicide?" "No, right?" "Do you know what a regular suicide is like?" "No." "So spare yourself of such speculation." "Wait, Sátur." "The wound on Thomas's wrist was from inside out." "If it was him, it would be from outside to inside." "He was killed." "Master, please, there's no time." "You're the only representative of the people, so fight, win for those people, and if you want to find something out about poor Thomas, do it, but not today, tomorrow." "Irene," "I'm writing this letter to tell you that I love you." "I feel like I'm betraying he who has been like a father to me," "I can't do that to him." "I want to go away from here as soon as possible." "Nuño." "If you'll excuse me, I have little time." "I remind you that it's me who manages your time, Commissioner." "Close the door." "Have you heard of the Trojan horse?" "The Greeks used it as a decoy against the Trojans, penetrated their walls and killed them." "Similarly us Spanish will kill the king of the English." "This is the picture of the gold bull, with which our king will award today during the friendship games, to Charles II of England" "The blacksmith forged it, that's why you had me kill him, so he wouldn't talk." "Our plan is as follows:" "a man will hide inside, two guards will escort it from my residence to it's destination." "After the jousting, the same night our man... will sneak out from inside the bull, as did the Greeks from the Trojan horse, and shall slay the monarch." "And who will be the one?" "Choose one of your men, but hold his mother until he completes the mission." "Hello." "Have you come to see me?" "No, I came to see my brother-in-law." "So you're not going to wish me luck?" "Between family and..." "And a stranger..." "Come with me to England." "That's what I wanted to say." "My king calls me." "I'm leaving tomorrow at noon." "I'll be waiting for you where we met." "From the ignorance that haunts me," "I read in a book of chivalry to use the shield... to always protect the chest and heart." "Relax, I know what I have to do, but thanks for your advice, Sátur." "Let's do a recap." "We're all set, right?" "The suit, you're wearing it, the helmet," "I took the ointment for the itchings, and water..." "Shit, the water was to be brought by Cipri!" "Where is he?" "I'm here." "What about the water?" "I forgot." "You forgot the one thing I ask of you..." "Then start looking for it, even under the stones, Cipri." "Gonzalo." "Is that you?" "I've never seen you dressed like that." "I don't know if I'll shine as much as Captain Patrick will, but..." "Well, he's more of a military man, and you're more of a teacher." "Yes." "Be careful, Gonzalo." "I will." "Mother, where were you?" "I've looked..." "What are you doing here, so calm?" "And why would I be nervous?" "We have great weather, the coffee is to my liking, and they've already found the culprit." "What do you mean they've caught the culprit?" "Yes, it was the gardener, and the idiot left evidence of the crime in the log basket." "Mother, you've the mind of a criminal confined in the body of a woman." "Why is the chimney boarded up?" "Well, everyone knows that the flue of the stove was in very bad shape." "But it worked fine!" "No, don't ever touch it!" "Mother, have you put the body in there... of the Count's daughter?" "And what could I do?" "They're still searching for the body, it was the only way to hide it." "Commissioner, thank you so much for finding the culprit." "Now all that remains is for this bastard to get a fair punishment." "I'm afraid the Count of Abrantes has already seen to that." "The Gardener's masculine parts are already food for the vultures." "Excuse me, sir, Father Eusebio wants to see you." "Commissioner, sorry to bother you, but I must say something about Francisco, the gardener." "That poor man is paying for something he didn't do." "Are you implying that I made a mistake doing my job?" "It couldn't be him, he spent all morning in our monastery." "He comes when he can to help us with the garden." "He's a good man." "Are you sure he couldn't have left at any time?" "I was with him side by side, throughout the day planting seeds." "He didn't leave." "You can go." "Excuse me, Commissioner, again, but it's urgent." "Come to my palace immediately." "Something wrong, Commissioner?" "The daughter of the Count of Abrantes died here." "Before beginning the joustings I'd like to present you with a gift." "The Spains must be proud:" "not only do they have a courageous king, but also magnanimous king." "I appreciate your words." "His Majesty, King Philip IV, officially declares the start of the friendship games, between Spain and England." "The Duke of Zafra and Sergeant Wells, will be the first ones to challenge." "This one isn't the supply store, either." "Let's go." "Cipri wait, we just arrived and already you want to go." "Let me have a look." "Come on, let's go." "What is it?" "Oh, Cipri, you know, among so many uniforms and lances..." "I'm imagining you dressed as a knight..." "Dressed that way I'd gain very little style compared to what they gain." "Hey, little style my foot, since you're great, Cipri, awfully great." "You think so because you see me kindly." "I really thought of signing up for the joustings, but since that's not my thing..." "But you're still recovering, Cipri." "Of course you'd sign up, but you can't while in this shape." "Where are you going?" "[...seemed rather confident]" "[Well Captain,] [we must make sure that we wipe the smile from there faces]" "[Indeed we will]" "[And remember to reinforce your left flank, your Majesty.]" "[Philip the IV knows his enemies' weakness, he's a good soldier.]" "[And I, your King, am not?" "]" "[Of course, your Highness, I did no mean...]" "[Captain,] [if trickery wins me the battle] [it makes me a better strategist,] [not a worse soldier.]" "[Of course.]" "[Put the poison on the lance.]" "[Your Majesty...]" "[God and England are on your side.]" "You sent for me, Your Eminence?" "Yes." "I've been informed that the person... responsible for killing the English monarch, was found unconscious in my stables." "Someone's discovered us, Commissioner." "Who else... have you informed of our plans?" "Nobody." "Only the one going on the mission, and he hasn't spoken." "I'm holding his mother, as you ordered." "If the British learn about it they'll declare war soon." "Do you know who our monarch will blame?" "Did the man see his attacker?" "He was masked, but... he could see he was blond and he ripped this button from him." "NS." "It can't be." "The assailant may have heard our conversation, in his own palace." "NS, Nuño de Santillana." "I know he wanted to ingratiate himself before His Majesty, so he'd send him to war." "He is the one inside the bull." "I'll stop this madness." "No." "His Majesty is not aware of the incident, yet." "Let's go ahead with our plans." "I won't consent that." "Commissioner!" "What don't you consent to?" "The situation is perfect:" "if the boy manages to kill the English king, we'll have achieved our goal." "Failure to do so, and it will be considered a child's prank, and Spain will be free of all suspicion." "He's a boy." "He's not prepared, you know they'll kill him." "So little you trust the instruction you gave him?" "You'll have to shoot." "Guards." "That you go with him to England?" "He expects my answer tomorrow, in the place where he saved me." "Well, you see, where you saw bad intentions, he was only wanting to go straight to the point." "Yes, and so straight to the point!" "Margarita, if you leave I'll miss you a lot." "But hey, I'll understand, because finding a man who respects you, who loves you, that's not easy." "I'd like for once in my life that normal things happened to me." "I don't know why everything always has to be so complicated." "Well, welcome to life." "Come on, let's get a place to have a good view of the joustings." "May he who falls, stand up with honour." "So be it." "Luckily it was just a prick." "None of the Spanish have been up to expectations, Master, we have only you." "I'm not attacking, I'll just defend myself." "What do you mean you won't attack?" "No, no, you can't play weak in this situation." "Sátur, I'm just a teacher." "Do you remember?" "I've never wielded a lance." "Give me a break!" "On the bad fate we're getting!" "Master, by God I beg you, get out there and revive the Spanish pride." "For Spain!" "[My lance!" "]" "No Master, no, give up, by God, give up." "Let go, let go, let go!" "A ghost!" "I killed you!" "You were dead!" "I killed you, I killed you!" "Mother, are you okay?" "Have some water." "Relax and tell me what's wrong." "I had a nightmare." "Nightmare?" "What I can't understand is how you could even get to sleep." "Has the commissioner discovered something new?" "No, not yet, but he knows that the girl died here." "It's a matter of time before they find out." "We must get her out of here." "You shut up." "But, mother..." "You shut up!" "Mother, we must get her out..." "Neither you nor anyone else... will touch that fireplace." "Is that clear?" "Is that clear?" "Yes, mother." "[The generous king that gave me this lies ill in bed.]" "[He will never get up again.]" "[This victory deserves a toast." "Do you not think?" "]" "[For England.]" "I haven't seen a thing, I swear." "I know nothing." "[On your knees.]" "[On your knees!" "]" "Please, don't, please." "[Shut up, man.]" "I haven't done anything, I swear." "I haven't done anything, please..." "[Here.]" "[Let us drink.]" "[To England!" "And you will enjoy the piss of your King.]" "[To England!" "]" "Come on, say it:" "For England!" "For England." "Louder." "Louder:" "Long live England!" "Long live England!" "And now drink." "Drink." "You will be executed at sunset." "Please don't kill me, please!" "No, don't kill me!" "Please!" "Don't kill me!" "Please!" "[Bring me my betrothed.]" "[And make sure that we are not disturbed.]" "[Yes, Your Majesty.]" "Release me, release me!" "Release me!" "It's amazing: you won the joust, father, you won." "You should have seen him, compared to him El Cid would look like a circus puppeteer." "What's that?" "Fireworks in your honour, father, everyone is celebrating the victory over the English." "And it'd be a miracle if they don't name a street in your honour." "Are you sure you're okay, Father?" "Yes, don't worry, it's just an injury from the blow." "Go, go remove the saddle from the horse, he's earned a good rest." "Damn, that doesn't look too good!" "He may have he splintered the bone, that was a hell of a hit." "The strange thing is that I've got pins and needles in my arm." "Someone once hit me so hard here in my leg, as to make make it sleep for two whole days." "This could be the same thing." "No, it feels like when that snake bit me." "No, Master, no." "Don't say that, by God, then come the sweats, fever, and being unable to move." "Gonzalo?" "Gonzalo, are you okay?" "I'm fine, I'm fine." "No, no, he's not okay." "He's bad, that demon of an Englishman left his arm in bad shape." "Yes, the king also bad, too." "The cook's sister works at the royal palace, and says... that after the joustings he fell ill." "My lance." "The lance that struck the king, is the same one that captain Patrick used against me afterwards." "I think it was poisoned." "What do you mean poisoned?" "Margarita, put the kettle on." "I must clean the wound." "Yes." "So what do we do now?" "Do you want me to suck your arm to take out the poison?" "No, Sátur, it'd be of no use, the poison is already spreading throughout the body." "Also, without knowing what we have been infected with, we can't know the cure." "Then, master, if they poisoned the king that means... it wouldn't be to make him bedridden, but rather to... to kill him." "That means that you..." "Cipri, Gonzalo." "Hey, has Cipri arrived home?" "It's not the right moment, Catalina." "But Sátur, the last time I saw him, he was at the English King's tent looking water, and he didn't return." "I said that this isn't the right time, Catalina." "Don't worry, Catalina, he's surely delayed by returning on foot." "And how are you?" "I'm fine, I'm fine." "He insists that he's fine!" "Don't worry, We'll notify you when he returns." "Alright, let me know, eh?" "See you soon." "In truth, Master," "Cipriano never returned with the water." "Let's go." "[Your Majesty, wake up!" "]" "[Wake up!" "]" "I don't want to die." "I don't want to die." "Let me go." "Let me go!" "Sorry." "He's a noble, he has the right to a fair trial." "A fair trial?" "He nearly killed my king." "[Carry on with the plan!" "]" "Run!" "Run!" "Why didn't you run away?" "I'll be with you until the end." "I won't leave you alone." "[Prepare your weapons!" "]" "[Aim.]" "Nuño... there's something you need to know." "What?" "I..." "You have to get out of here." "I know I saw that book." "I saw this book about poisons and how to cure them." "It must be around here." "Master!" "Master, how are you?" "Are you better?" "I'm fine, Sátur." "No, no you're not fine." "Sit down." "Sit down, by God." "You're starting to get dizzy." "The poison is beginning to spread throughout the body." "It will soon reach the heart." "No!" "No, no, that can't be, Master." "Surely one of your books... tells how to cure you." "There was one around here that said it," "But I can't find it!" "Sátur..." "Sátur, Sátur!" "Master!" "Master..." "Whose is that dog?" "I don't know, mother, but look where he is." "He smells the corpse." "Don't you see where he is?" "He doesn't move from there!" "Dead dogs don't bite." "Pass the biscuits." "Damn you!" "Margarita." "Because of you the king and my brother-in-law are about to die." "That has nothing to do with what I feel for you." "Oh, no?" "To kill my brother-in-law has nothing to do with me?" "Do you think that I like to put innocent lives at risk?" "And then, why do you do it?" "Because I'm a soldier and I have a duty to my superiors." "But don't you ever think or act for yourself?" "You're only loyal to a position?" "For me, the only loyalty I know is that that I owe to my family." "Margarita, I received an order." "I must fullfil it." "Understand." "I owe it to my king." "Your father, who taught you to do things well," "What do you think he'd think of you, now?" "Wait." "I know how you can save them." "Are you sure that what Aunt Margarita said will work?" "He's been a long time that way." "Is he breathing?" "Of course he breathes!" "Your father's breathing during sleep is light, not thunder-like." "See?" "Father." "Are you okay?" "I'm all right, son." "Sátur, the King!" "We must bring him the cure." "Don't worry, I've already done it." "But are you alright?" "Do you feel all the parts of your body, the bigger and smaller extremities?" "I'm fine, Sátur, I feel them all." "Let me look to see if it's true." "Let's see." "Stay still." "What are you doing?" "The mother who bore me!" "Indeed he's alright, yes." "Sátur, sorry, but it was your own fault." "Luckily I already notified the king, for if I had trouble getting in with these nails, imagine it this way, hunched, hands in the balls." "I have to tell this to Gabi." "Can I?" "Go on, go." "Go." "Are you okay?" "What are you doing?" "The stone we found in the fountain of truth." "It's amber." "Amber?" "Forgive me, master, but is that treasure or a trinket?" "I ask mainly so I don't delude myself." "Let's call it treasure." "But how can it be treasure?" "Does that mean... that the treasure is out there, scattered everywhere?" "Because it's God's way that treasures should... stay packed in just one place, I say." "There seems to be something inside." "What's that bug?" "A beetle." "How did the poor thing get inside there?" "The amber fell on it and it got fossilized over the years." "It's an Egyptian species." "Egyptian?" "Master, come on!" "Don't tell me that you and I must now go there, to Egypt?" "Catalina?" "Wait, wait, wait." "Stay there." "Should I stay still?" "Don't move." "What is it?" "What's this?" "I've made it for you." "But, why for me, if my birthday isn't until May?" "What do you mean why?" "Come on, sit down." "Are you aware of what you've done?" "You didn't save just anybody's life, Margarita, you saved the king's life." "And they didn't erect a monument to you." "Well, your friend made a cake for you, so come on." "You shouldn't have bothered, Catalina." "Come on." "Okay." "In the end the Englishman behaved well." "He saved the live of your king, and he did it for you." "What more proof of love do you need?" "Damn...!" "What the heck does she want now?" "Coming, madam!" "Go on, because I don't know how long I'll take to deal with her." "Don't wait for me." "I wanted to thank you for what you've done." "I know you risked a lot and..." "Dear Gonzalo," "I write this letter because I don't have the courage to tell you face to face." "I'm leaving with Captain Patrick to start a new life." "She left with the Englishman?" "It's a question of time to find the corpse of the Count's daughter." "and when I do, your heads will roll on the town square." "I'll look for a priest." "We'll marry in this castle." "The mother who bore me!" "Don't you have any normal enemies?" "I met a contortionist;" "she raised one leg, and then the other, and everyone saw her..." "Sátur!" "We get the idea." "Get me out of here!" "Help!" "What are you doing here?" "Stop, stop immediately." "Stop!" "I'd rather die than face my fate."
