"I want everything perfect." "It's very important for the future of my son." "I can't kill an innocent man." "If he gave you up, you and your family are dead." "I know how much my head is worth!" "You'll go to Cadiz with the picture." "When you get intercepted, you'll go on board and kill King Charles." "I haven't the soul of a martyr." "Excuse me." "Let go of me!" "Give it to your father." ""I know who you are"." ""Meet me at 19:00 in the Rye Woods clearing"." "Nuño has nothing to offer me." "Maybe I do." "I'm here!" "It's me!" "Come on!" "Show yourself!" "My daughter, you have to find her." "Help me, please." "What has the King to do with it?" "He wanted her to be his lover." "You're accusing His Majesty of kidnapping." "I'm pleased to announce the mariage of Carolina de Izaga, to Nuño de Santillana and Guzman." "Between fugitive and death, please choose fugitive." "We know of your intention to attack our King." "How dare you insult my name?" "When we get evidence," "England will declare war on Spain." "No!" "They're British soldiers, Eminence." "Your father sent me." "No, Master!" "Sátur!" "Drop the knife!" "Who are you?" "She's a friend." "I did my best." "You lie!" "I gave you up." "No!" "I'll make room in my bedroom." ""Always stuck-up"." ""Semper fidelis "." "In Latin it's, "always faithful"." "I don't know what happened or who has the documents." "It's an enigma." "What does it mean?" "Master!" "Here, here!" "I have it." "Here it is." "Is it this where all the answers are?" "All or almost all." "There are unsolved puzzles, riddles..." "It's invaluable." "I'll return it to the Monastery of the Imperial College." "That's where it belongs." "Will you allow me, can I?" "Sure." "How heavy!" "The puzzles, how heavy they are." "God, we've been scammed." "There's nothing more than doodles, here!" "Sátur, it's Arabic." "The book is writen in several languages." "There are parts in Arabic, parts in Latin, Sanskrit." "Ah." "If it wasn't for the treasure and your mother, those templars could go to hell." "May I say that..." "Don't you smell something burning?" "It's coming from over there, Sátur." "What happened here?" "What happened, master?" "It could have been lightning." "The sky is clear." "We haven't had a storm for days." "What are you looking at?" "I don't know of such a large animal." "Neither do I." "They'll look gorgeous, right?" "Quality fabric, eh?" "Those children deserve the best." "Like us, the most favored ones." "With the coat of arms of Santillana." "So they won't forget who helped them." "Some tea, señora Countess?" "No thanks," "I told you I'm in a hurry." "Of course, you must be awfully busy... with the preparations for the charity dinner on Saturday." "The Queen will attend, right?" "And do you think... there could be room for us?" "We'd like it." "Yes." "To enter the association it's not enough to be whealty." "You need to have class and you don't have it, even if you give away your entire fortune." "Señora, I won't accept you talking to us like that." "Who do you think you're fooling?" "Everyone knows where you come from." "Just a while ago you were nothing but... a whore." "Good afternoon." "Señora," "What about the costumes?" "Burn them!" "Mother..." "God." "She told her she was a slut to her face." "I'll keep them for the parish." "Surely they can use them." "My God, burned logs!" "Footprints as big as giants!" "Don't jump to hasty conclusions." "Hasty?" "Look at the tree!" "It's as if it was burned by a tongue of fire." "But that's impossible." "What we are lacking, is a dragon." "Let's flee." "Where are you going?" "The creature may be out there!" "I'm begging you for your mother's sake, let's go!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master, by God!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Excuse me, what does that say?" "The writing isn't clear." "The blacksmith is for sale." "They're selling it?" "Yes, that's it." "Shit." "Cipri." "Have you seen?" "They're selling the place." "Yes, right." "Shall we do a fundraising?" "People don't have a single penny." "Should I take away the little bread they have?" "Commissioner." "What is it?" "He was in the woods." "How did he die?" "I don't know, sir." "He shows no wounds." "Neither does it seem he's been attacked." "He's Fermin, from the bakery." "He died out of fear." "Hey!" "Is anyone there?" "Hey!" "Is anyone there?" "Please help." "I need help!" "My master fell off his horse and won't wake up." "Amir!" "I'll take charge," "Was it a stab wound or a bullet?" "No, it was a blow." "Master, how are you?" "Thank you, I thought he wouldn't wake up." "I'm fine, Sátur." "I'm Eva de Almeida, the owner of the house." "I'm sorry if we caused you any trouble." "No, it's always quiet around here." "A little excitement won't hurt." "The fault is mine." "I came in yelling like I was sticking a boar." "I hope I didn't disturb your husband." "No, he's my servant." "Since I saw him so elegant." "And you are?" "Gonzalo de Montalvo, I'm a teacher in the town." "We were on our way home when the accident happened." "I apologize, we have to move on." "We won't disturb you anymore." "Wait." "Is that better now?" "Yes." "Yes?" "Where did you learn that?" "I don't think you can't ride." "That shoulder needs rest." "You can stay, I have enough room." "No, we're leaving." "Yes, we'll stay." "The señora is right, Master." "You've had a bad blow." "We should stay." "All right." "We'll leave at dawn." "You won't regret it." "Amir is an excellent cook." "Amir." "Help!" "I'm burning!" "I'm Coming!" "I'll drop it, hurry up!" "Gimme, gimme." "Oh!" "My God, how heavy!" "What's this bracelet?" "Give it to me." "Have you stolen it?" "It's the Countess of Abrantes's." "It was in the living room." "Give it to señora Sagrario so she can return it." "Catalina, that bracelet is like fire in your hands." "Give it back." "No." "Have you lost your mind or what?" "That lady has basketfuls of jewelry, no one will notice." "But it has an inscription, look: "Always yours"." "It must have a special meaning for her." "For less than that you can be sent to the gallows." "Nobody has to know, she may have lost it!" "I don't understand you." "You've never done anything like this." "You have shelter and food." "What else do you need?" "Life isn't just eating and sleeping." "You have to return it." "Don't put your life at stake for a bracelet." "You're right." "Holy Mother, Master." "This house never ends!" "Four times I got lost already." "As soon as we find the treasure, we're going to build one like this." "But we'll change the decor." "Who's this fat guy?" "He's Buddha." "A Hindu religious figure." "Ah." "Not that it matters but, we've run into every weirdo there is." "One tends to think that others are like oneself." "Master, come." "That servant with his whole head bandaged." "The lady living alone in the woods." "Surrounded by weird things." "Come here." "What's this?" "It's an astrolabe." "Huh?" "It's used for navigation." "Sátur!" "Sátur." "Thanks for taking care of me." "By the way, how did you change my clothes?" "It took a lot of sweating, to be sure." "One thing I say:" "Don't worry, I have the suit in a safe place." "Hidden." "A burlap costume, that woman deserved." "If you dress the poor like the rich, already they don't seem poor." "Nobody calls a whore, an actress who premiered a Calderon de la Barca, at Corral de Almagro open-air stage." "No one!" "Mother, don't get obsessed." "Don't let this affect us." "We are above that sanctimonious benefactor." "What are you up at this hour with that hair?" "Señora, the hairdresser of the Countess of Abrantes is here." "Show her in." "Did you send for me, señora?" "I was waiting for you." "Fix my hair." "My lady doesn't allow me to work in other houses." "I'll pay you three times as much for just once." "Can you leave us alone, son?" "Fix my hear like that of the Countess." "I like her style." "It won't wear the same hair style for doing charitable works, that I would for a party." "The countess doesn't go to parties." "But..." "Apart from charity meetings she surely does other things." "What does the Countess like?" "Going shopping?" "Playing cards?" "Drinking?" "Sorry ma'am, I know nothing." "Do you want a new case of cosmetics?" "They're emeralds." "They could be all yours." "The Countess has a lover." "The Duke of Uceda." "Do you need anything else?" "No, everything is fine." "Thanks for your hospitality." "Always giving thanks." "Your dinner is in your bedroom." "Amir will accompany you." "I have a bedroom for my own?" "That's right." "With a real bed?" "Excuse me, Master, this I have to see with my own eyes." ""The Arabian Nights"" "An interesting choice for getting sleep." "It wasn't an easy choice." "Your library is very extensive." "And what surprises you, that it belongs to a woman or that it's extensive?" "I'm surprised at so much variety." "There are Persian books, Indian..." "Almost all about trips." "Yes." "My father was a Venetian merchant." "He did the route from East up to the India." "He took me on all his trips." "Since childhood." "It's not very normal to embark a daughter on these trips, with so many dangers." "Well, after traveling so much..." "I don't know what's normal and what isn't." "I do know that I prefer to see the sunset in Bombay, than to learn how to embroider." "Bombay." "From the harbor you see the fort of Bassein." "Many people died at the assault by the Portuguese." "A schoolteacher in India isn't very usual, either." "Not only you, have surprises." "If you need advice, ask me." "I'll let you have dinner." "And don't thank me." "How did it happen?" "He was found dead in his bed, Majesty." "This is their revenge... for the assassination attempt against their King." "We accompany you in your pain." "The General was a man of honour and courage." "He was more than that." "He was my friend." "And that's why they killed him." "Unfortunately, you can never prove it." "We must be cautious, Majesty." "Do we have money enough to declare war on England?" "Majesty, our coffers are not prepared for such extravagance." "I am Philip the Great, the Planet King." "Look for that money!" "Majesty, I must fulfill my religious duties." "Let's continue in the Throne Room." "I want to know where you spend every last doubloon of the Empire." "He's always in a bad mood when talking about money." "Should we start, Eminence?" "When you wish, ma'am." "Eminence, I confess." "I have sinned in thought and deed." "Ah!" "That's very serious, Majesty." "I'll have to force you to a severe penance." "I deserve it." "If possible, I would like to pay the debt soon." "There's a small Inn across the forest of the Negrales." "It will be available to us tonight." "I'll be there." "This is the kind of footprint found in the woods." "What kind of animal is this?" "The rumour started spreading among the peasants, is that it may be a dragon." "Dragon?" "I thought you had better sense." "They exist only in legends." "There were burned logs, now footsteps, and the man who died..." "His heart stopped." "No animal ate him, that I know of." "No, sir." "That dragon seems very tame." "Go back to the forest!" "And slay that thing, whatever it is!" "Sir, must we go back now, at night?" "Do you dare to disobey?" "No, sir..." "Get him in the torture rack!" "Commissioner, he's one of us!" "You heard me." "The turtle!" "No, sir, please!" "Put the anvil on him." "No please, sir." "No!" "Load him until he bursts!" "Sir, no, no!" "So you will understand how these animals suffer." "Come on!" "Come on!" "You heard!" "No, sir, please!" "Don't do it, please!" "No, please." "Turtles have a hard shell." "But inside they're soft like us." "Go into the forest now." "Do you fear more the dragon or me?" "I'm sorry." " No, the fault is mine." "It's not right to enter another's room like this." "Are you okay?" "Yes, it was a nightmare." "You have a fever." "No, sometimes worries lay tricks on you." "And what concerns can a school teacher have?" "Those of an ordinary man." "You're not an ordinary man." "Say it with harsh words, mother." "This Countess spoke her shit at ease in our palace." "The most pious are the worst whores." "Mother, the last one!" "Not until dinner." "Señora, the Countess of Abrantes is here." "How can it be if I still haven't send her the letter?" "I need to talk to you." "Indeed your hairdresser has a loose tongue." "Have you already talked?" "But, what do you mean?" "Yesterday I lost a gold bracelet in your palace." "Was it found?" "This is the first time I heard about it." "For sure I lost it here." "I need it back." "First you call me whore and now you accuse me of theft." "I'm not accusing you of anything," "I just want my bracelet back." "I don't want anything belonging to you." "I can have all the jewelry that I crave." "Please..." "I need to find that bracelet." "It has great sentimental value to me." "Ah!" "Maybe it's a gift from someone close." "From your husband?" "Or maybe the Duke of Uceda?" "This bracelet has an inscription that compromises me." "I need to get it back whatever it takes." "Don't worry, I'll find it." "And you, start looking for a place for my son and me, close to the Queen, at that dinner on Saturday." "A master stroke, mother." "Where's the bracelet?" "That's the only loose end, son." "Some servant must have it, they're all are thieves." "I assure you that if anyone grabbed it, they'll return it." "Good morning!" "And nice goods!" "I'll pay you in due time!" "Hey." "I was told..." "that the inn is for sale." "Do you have money?" "Money, no." "So?" "We have nothing to talk about." "I have other buyers." "Hey, please." "Listen." "It's very important, just a moment." "Okay." "Speak!" "I have something that interests you." "A valuable jewel." "You lose nothing by seeing it, right?" "Okay, but only until this afternoon." "I can't waste any more time." "You won't regret it, thanks." "No, please!" "Don't hurt my baby!" "His Majesty requires an effort to fund his armies." "You are all required." "to contribute to this new tax." "Is that clear?" "Commissioner!" "Do you refuse to pay?" "Sir, we can't even afford food." "I don't care about your miseries." "Pay up." "Is he healthy?" "Then we'll remove his eyes." "No!" "No, please!" "We have no money!" "Therefore I'm going to do you a favour." "A blind boy will inspire more pity when you beg." "Commissioner!" "Commissioner!" "The Queen." "Sir." "What happened?" "Her carriage is in the forest of Negrales." "Completely burnt." "What about her?" "We've searched for her, but she's gone." "Explain at once." "What do you mean gone?" "What about her guard?" "There were bodies beside the carriage." "They'd been burned alive." "Were there footprints?" "Everywhere, sir." "Sir, do you think that thing could have taken the Queen?" "Take your men and go back to the forest." "Keep looking." "I'll go to the Royal Palace to deliver the news." "Hello." "Hello." "You look fine this morning." "Yes." "Sweating is the best remedy for a fever." "Yes, an ancient cure." "How's your shoulder?" "I forgot about that." "Don't even thank me." "I'm hungry, shall we have breakfast?" "I must go now." "Already?" "All right, whatever." "Master..." "Good morning." "Good morning, Sátur." "Good morning." "Master, what happened here?" "I think that's clear." "Oh, Holy Virgin, what joy you give me!" "I shed tears of joy." "Oh, God!" "My legs fail, it's like I've had an orgasm myself." "Make room for me." "No big deal." "No big deal?" "I'm at your service for a long time now." "This is the best thing that ever happened to us." "And tell me." "But..." "How was the approach," "I haven't heard." "I had a nightmare and she came to my bedroom." "That's it." "Good!" "All night long, I guess." "The girl looked... relaxed." "Tell, tell." "What do you mean tell?" "Tell!" "I won't explain the details." "Aren't you going to explain?" "No." "I spent years waiting for it!" "And now you save the details?" "We have to go." "Oh!" "Do you realize that a new era opens up to you?" "You'll see." "It'll be non-stop." "Once you begin..." "If it hurts or stings it's normal after so much... goings-on." "I have an ointment better than a holy hand." "You and your oils." "Start preparing our stuff, do something." "Come on, come on!" "Wily bird!" "What standards will the señora teach us, have we done something wrong?" "You relax, Marta." "She wants the visitors to see how well tamed she has us." "What are you all doing here?" "What is it?" "The señora wants to show us protocol standards for when guests come." "Oh!" "She knows about protocol as much as I know Latin." "What's going on?" "Start on this one." "What?" "Ma'am, what will they do to me?" "What will they do to me?" "I've done nothing!" "Catalina." "No, please." "One hundred lashes." "Some of you stole a gold bracelet." "But you'll return it." "Come on, we don't have all day." "No!" "Señora!" "One moment." "Looks like we have the culprit." "Did you take the bracelet?" "We aren't thieves, ma'am." "I swear we'll search the palace until we find it." "You'll get that bracelet back." "I give you my word of honour." "This afternoon, I want the bracelet." "If not, you'll be the first to die by hanging." "For theft." "What are you doing, Master?" "We have a large backlog of work." "Backlog of work?" "Today is a national holiday!" "I feel like sprucing up the streets." "Come on, stop that." "We'll order a piglet, you must be hungry." "Sátur, we have already lost too much time." "Well..." "Some more than others..." "Wasting time is what you were doing earlier, you were in the dark." "Now what up?" "Nothing, you..." "You stink of female." "Sátur!" "The enigma." "Do you remember?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Now I see it very clear, Master." "Everything that moves, is moved by another." "The woman!" "Eh, master?" "And you didn't notice, after the night you spent." "We must also go to the forest, and learn where the cry that frightened the horse came from." "Whatever you say." "By the way, let's do it big time, eh?" "The mysteries as well." "In pairs." "Father." "Where were you?" "Alonso." "I fell off the horse and had to spend the night in the forest." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "What is it, son?" "Nothing, you're strange." "Your face looks more..." "more relaxed." "Yes, yes." "I'm the same as always." "Well, not just exactly the same." "The boy's right." "Gonzalo!" "Cipri." "Gonzalo!" "Easy... easy Cipriano, we are very relaxed." "Gonzalo it's the queen." "She's disappeared." "What?" "They don't know where she is." "Her guards were burned in the woods." "I didn't pay attention to you." "I'll give myself up." "I'll say that I was the thief." "Catalina, if you do so you'll be hanged." "And if I don't they'll kill you." "And that I won't consent to." "It's your life or mine." "I have to pay for this." "Listen." "Give me the bracelet." "We'll say that it was in the garden or wherever." "And who will return it?" "We'll leave it in a visible area for her to find it." "You think she will settle on this?" "We must try everything before giving up." "You give me the bracelet, I'll deliver it somehow." "I mean no." "Give it to me and let's not waste more time." "Where is it?" "Where?" "What is it?" "The lock has been forced." "I swear I left it there." "Burned, master, charred." "I know that." "What about the footprints?" "They were huge, I saw them with my eyes!" "Sátur, dragons don't exist." "Chimeras, gargoyles, griffins, dragons:" "are mythological creatures that were forged on legend and ignorance." "Now you tell me what happened in that forest!" "So, do you have an explanation?" "Not yet." "So what the fuck happened?" "They have taken our queen!" "The queen of the Spanish Empire!" "We'll find her." "What if I'm right?" "Where's the suit?" " Listen, by God." "What if it's what I think, then a katana is not enough." "It's going to cook you up!" "Don't worry." "Ready the horses... and give me the suit." "But listen to me, Master!" "The Queen has a whole army searching for her!" "This time it's not an orphan, or an innocent victim." "There's no need to go." "I'll find out what happened." "Trust me." "Here you are." "Oh God, what have I done?" "What is it?" "Your Red Eagle suit, the one I took off when you were hurt." "Yes, what?" "I left it at that lady's house, that Eva." "Oh!" ""I can give evidence... of what I'm saying, sir"." "Am I interrupting?" "No." "Do you want something?" "To talk to you." "It's been 2 days since you appeared in the palace." "I was riding." "Since early morning until evening?" "Nuño, you're avoiding me." "I know that what happened the other day wasn't right, but let's not give more importance to things than they have." "For me a kiss is important, Irene." "Erase it from your mind, please." "Let's pretend it didn't happen." "I feel the palace as too big as it is, without you spending your days outside." "I'm sorry." "But I can't forget." "Is something wrong?" "I was talking to Nuño." "Irene dear, don't leave the palace, no matter what happens." "Why?" "Is something wrong?" "Is it because of the Queen?" "Obey." "Will you take care of her, Nuño?" "I don't need anyone to look after me." "I want to go save the queen." "No!" "Stay by her side every single moment." "Master!" "What?" "While I slip in through the back and grab the suit, you can entertain her." "Recalling the evening, stopping at the nicer details... seducing her with a mischievous smile." "In other words, loose the fishing line on her, you understand." "No, Sátur, I'll go in." "No way!" "You have things to talk to her." "I know where the chest is." "That's assuming it's still there." "Oh my God." "What if they found it?" "If they found it we'll know soon." "Okay, you go in." "Gonzalo!" "What a pleasant surprise!" "What brings you here?" "I came to thank you again for your help." "I thought it was clear that I did it with pleasure." "The book "The wonders of the world" by Marco Polo." "I saw it was missing in your library." "Right." "Thank you." "Well, if you don't want anything else, I have to go." "Wait, don't miss the part about Japan." "It's the best." "Sorry, Gonzalo, I'm busy." "I can't receive you." "Eva, are you okay?" "Yes!" "It's nothing, I was helping Amir killing a bird for dinner." "I see you have company." "Thomas, dear." "Gonzalo, the teacher from town." "He came to bring me this book." "Nice to meet you." "Gonzalo was just leaving." "Yes, I'm in a hurry." "Also, I have nothing to do here." "Goodbye, Eva." "Majesty." "They still haven't found her." "What was the queen doing out of the palace in the middle of the night, and with so little escort?" "How could I know?" "My relationship with the queen is strictly religious." "That's why." "You are her confessor." "Where was she heading to?" "Was she seeing someone?" "Your wife is an exemplary Christian." "A discreet and virtuous woman, but that you already know." "Cardinal, I know you're not a man prone to gossip." "What happened in the forest?" "Sometimes, our Lord asks of us tests that we can't understand." "No sermon, Cardinal." "In my humble opinion, all indications lead one to conclude that in that forest there's something... supernatural." "It's Waiting for me." "I must be the one to kill it." "I don't think it's a good idea." "It's extremely dangerous." "Wasn't it St. George who killed a dragon?" "You ought to know." "He was a saint." "It belonged to my grandfather Philip II." "And he gave it to my father." "Brave kings who forged an empire where the sun never set." "Majesty..." "I advise you not to go." "You are a man with big responsibilities." "Don't forget that the Empire rests on your shoulders." "If something should happen to you..." "That is the role of a King." "For some reason God chose me." "Master, by God, don't go, I beg on God's sake." "The dragon fight against the Eagle is not equal." "If it aims its breath at you it'll leave you scorched." "I said that dragons don't exist." "What do you mean they don't exist?" "They were just representations of evil in the Middle Ages." "What about this saint who appears in the windows of the churches?" "St George." "That's it!" "I've seen him driving a spear into the dragon's gullet." "This is only a symbol." "No, master, a symbol is... a coat of arms, a flag." "Not a beast bigger than Burgos Cathedral." "Come on, bring the katana." "Master..." "Master, by God, don't go." "I'm begging for my sainted mother." "For once I beg you." "Sátur, I risk my life every day." "Yes!" "But you know against what you fight!" "In that forest there is something..." "How shall I say?" "That it's beyond human." "For as much Red Eagle as you are," "I'm sure you're afraid to go in there." "Of course I'm afraid." "I don't understand you." "I don't quite understand you." "There's only one way to overcome fear, and that's by confronting it." "But, you're not listening to me?" "You don't know what you might meet there!" "And if I don't go, I'll never find out." "I'd rather know what's in that forest than to remain ignorant." "I understand you not wanting to accompany me, Sátur." "Have you looked in the valley?" "I've checked every cave and every inch unsuccessfully, eminence." "I'm surprised to find you here." "Doesn't the agent of the highest levels hold privileges?" "We all esteem the queen." "You only esteem yourself." "Whoever finds her will be a hero." "The court painter will immortalize the moment:" "the King, the Queen, the dragon..." "and Cardinal Mendoza." "I see, a really bucolic picture." "Bucolic or not, the Vatican doors will open wide for me." "Inform me immediately you learn anything." "Eminence." "Majesty, where's the Royal Guard?" "I came alone." "This imprudence is clearly unnecessary." "If my time has come," "I prefer to be remembered for my bravery, and not for my sins." "Majesty, don't go." "Don't go, Your Majesty!" "It's time." "They'll kill us, they'll kill us all." "Who took that bracelet?" "You promised the señora you would find it." "Come on," "I know one of you has it." "So return it now." "How dare you accuse us?" "What if you're the thief?" "The bracelet was on top of that cupboard." "I put it there." "I was the one who took it." "You?" "Thief." "Because of you all of us will die." "Stop it." "Let her do it, it's the least I deserve." "It won't do you any good beating her to death." "Let's tell the señora who the thief was." "Oh, really?" "And what's the use?" "The señora wants the bracelet and we don't have it." "Who took it?" "Huh?" "Come on!" "Who has it?" "It won't help when we're all dead." "Where are you going?" "To pay for what I've done." "Help!" "Help, please!" "Mariana." "Felipe..." "Felipe, is that you?" "Felipe..." "Felipe, is that you?" "Mariana." "Felipe, is it you?" "Yes." "Relax." "I'm here." "You're safe, eh?" "Relax." "It's okay." "Now!" "Eh!" "Who sent you?" "Mother, our plan is sinking." "I don't know if it irritates me more that they're thieves or so proud." "The servants take what is not theirs, but they also lick the hand of their masters and it doesn't make sense to me that they want to go to the gallows." "What about the bracelet?" "Someone took it." "Perhaps the Countess lost it elsewhere." "But we already had her, we had her!" "Yes, but we know her little sin, so..." "Maybe we can find another way to profit from this." "Even if we tell it they won't believe us." "For the court we're nobodies, no matter how great the title we hold." "We threatened to kill all the household for nothing." "What do we do now?" "At this point, we must hold a firm hand." "Señora." "Why aren't you with the others?" "I have to talk to you, it's very important." "Have you bought the bracelet?" "Then I don't care what you may say." "Even if you beg, I'll be ruthless to you." "Señora, by God, you have to listen." "I'm looking for the Marquis of Santillana." "The one who must identify himself for barging in here, is you." "I am the Count of Abrantes." "I received an anonymous letter." "The Marquis is accused of theft." "He stole from my wife a gold bracelet." "This note is pure slander." "Why would I steal from her if I have whatever I want?" "I'm the Marquis of Santillana." "I want to see your room." "The letter says I'll find the evidence there." "Whoever posted the letter, just wants to mess our name." "It's an outrage, get out of my room." "I want to see your jewelry box ." "No way!" "This is an affront to my privacy." "But..." "I won't move from here until I see it." "Let's get this over, son." "Come on." "Here you are." "I have no idea how it got here." "Thief." "My son is the Marquis de Santillana." "I don't consent to you calling him so!" "There is no other way to call those who steal!" "What do you call those who are deceived by their wives?" "Cuckold?" "What?" "It's a gift from your wife's lover." ""Always yours"." "Nobody calls my wife adulterous." "I demand to clear my honour in a duel." "In a duel?" "I'll expect you at sunset in the Soto forest." "No, but let's see..." "Master, I told you before, this is my job." "Quit that." "Something doesn't fit, Sátur." "If you'd condescend, to clarify to me what happened, because I haven't figured it out." "The tracks had something to do with the man who wanted to kill the king?" "I guess they kidnapped the queen to attract the king." "It's just that I don't get it." "What about the dragon?" "The queen was tied up, that a dragon couldn't do." "But we're missing something." "We're missing something, he says." "We're missing everything." "I don't know who did it or why he did it... or whatever." "What about those men who were burnt in the woods?" "I don't know." "But that means that this thing is still out there." "There's a link between the kidnapping of the Queen and the being of the forest." "Both things happened at the same place, but..." "I don't know." "One thing may be unrelated to the other." "What did the masked man say?" "He killed himself." "Christ be blessed." "Let me clean the wound a little." "Oh God." "What's this?" "Oh, this, it's..." "A button that I found in the garden of your girlfriend." "I thought it was a coin, but it's worthless." "There are some initials: "M. A."" "M.A.?" "Wasn't her name Eva?" "Maybe they're the initials of some servant." "Marco Antonio, or something." "Who would say, that she would be with an Englishman." "Thomas, dear." "With an Englishman." "The Queen has disappeared." "My father ran the Eastern route to India." "Are you okay?" "Oh, yes!" "It's nothing." "They've taken the queen." "Nice to meet you." "Mariana, Mariana of Austria!" "Get up." "Don't ever lose your bearing." "Are you ready?" "Mother, I don't want to go." "To a duel you don't choose to go, you go, and that's it." "They have challenged the honour of Santillana." "If you don't go we'll remain marked forever," "And in life we'll never be anybody." "If I get killed I won't be anybody either, mother." "Take it." "But I've never fired one." "It's the best gun manufactured in Spain." "You can do it." "Mother, I'm scared." "Let's go." "The carriage is ready." "Are you going somewhere?" "I never stay for long in one place." "Venice is lovely this time of the year." "I don't recommend it." "Too wet." "What's this?" "A button." "From the Queen's dress." "You had her here, detained." "That's the trouble with intelligent men, you cause problems." "Who do you work for, Eva?" "For whoever pays best." "And in this case, the English." "They are very angry with your King." "You wanted him to go to the forest." "There he was an easy target, but he had to have a powerful reason." "Why not a dragon?" "A well-known legend." "Suggestion is the most powerful weapon, and your King is very vain, I knew he'd come." "You put the footprints." "It was actually Amir." "He also burned the log." "He did everything I ordered him, so that the legend would come alive." "The rest was easy." "What about the queen?" "How did you know she'd go through this forest?" "I didn't, it was a happy coincidence." "It is a waste that you don't use this intelligence to help." "I have expensive whims, which are not paid with good intentions." "You're coming with me." "I'm afraid not." "To die beheaded is not in my plans." "If it's necessary to take you against your will, I will." "You have no choice." "There is always another option, Gonzalo." "Relax, you're not going to die." "Goodbye, Gonzalo de Montalvo." "It was a pleasure." "Maybe they won't turn up, right, mother?" "Do you remember what you have to do?" "Hey, hey!" "They're already here" "Mother, go away, I don't want you to see me die." "Count ten steps, and shoot as fast as you can, son." "Mother..." "Mother!" "Get out." "Weapons." "Take your weapons." "Take distance." "To your places." "Load weapons!" "one... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten." "Get up!" "I said get up." "Take that gun and get up!" "Take the gun and get up!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Coward." "Psst..." "Master!" "Are you better?" "I'm fine." "When I found you lying there you were stiffer than... than a statue, that's why I ask you." "Truly, you're unlucky with women." "Now that you get to bed with somedody, she turns out to be more evil than a poison." "I must admit that she was smarter than me." "No, it's not a matter of being smarter." "It's the blood that goes the other way and not to your head." "Didn't you notice that the servant was hiding?" "I didn't see him." "You see I'm right." "It goes the other way, the blood!" "You, who hears a bird hundreds of miles away..." "Now, I don't blame you." "She had everything it takes and she had it in the right places." "How to avoid being distracted?" "She could have killed me, but she didn't." "Yeah, that was a courtesy." "That night you must have been sharp as a tack." "It's the first time that someone escaped the Red Eagle." "Nobody is flawless, Sátur." "Well, let's see, everything that moves, is moved by another." "No, by God." "Don't start stressing on that saying, it's like a Chinese torture." "What is it that moves?" "The earth moves, the people." "Sure we move!" "We more than anyone!" "We spend all day drifting from north to south, and sometimes you don't even know where we are." "Huh?" "That's it, Sátur." "The North is pointing south." "What?" "It's upside down." "You have to turn it around." "Our master sends us." "The Count of Abrantes." "You all right?" "Yes, it's nothing, it's just that my father has died." "You've always been with me." "I won't let anything happen to you." "Does nobody in the whole kingdom have enough imagination to entertain his king?" "I'll organize something big, a show like they used to be." "Have you heard of St Peter's finger?" "Why should I care?" "I paid for it to be stolen." "No,No!" "Shut up." "I came to sign up for the show." "Hey, no!" "What are you doing?" "Let go!" "I've lost something important!" "I need money to get it back." "What's going on?" "Where is the relic?" "We must get you out, else it's the end." "No one gets out alive." "What can I do?"
