"Help!" "They've looted the royal treasury." "The whole kingdom depends on that gold!" "How was your first day off?" "Sátur, you're back!" "~ Who are you?" "~ I'm your brother." "Don't you know this place is dangerous for a woman on her own?" "I can take care of myself." "Where's my son?" "Don't worry." "You're not going to find him." "I won't let you take him to Vienna." "I don't have a brother." "That's what our bitch of a mother made you think." "Why are we stopping?" "We have no time to waste on a beggar." "Ma'am, I just wanted to tell you that I've decided to go with you to Vienna tomorrow." "Someone has to pay for the shit life I've led." "We should bring our daughter's dowry to the Count von Olsen before he leaves town tomorrow." "You're going to live my life and I'm going to live yours." "But are you crazy, boy?" "How did you dare think of coming here to the Marquesa's bedroom?" "Catalina, I'm going with you to Vienna." "While watching I was remembering when we were kids and working in my father's barn." "I don't know why he didn't throw me out on the first day." "Well, he wanted to, but I convinced him to keep you on." "I beg you to cancel my wedding to Count von Olsen." "You'll marry the Count and take care of the welfare of my daughter Margarita." "Have I made myself sufficiently clear?" "Of course, your Majesty." "The Red Eagle!" "He's going to discover him, my God!" ""Your Majesty, the Commissioner is responsible for the theft of the gold." "I have the evidence to prove it."" "~ Give us all your money." "~ I don't have any." "~ Look, landlord, we know you just sold the inn." "~ Son of a bitch, I'll break your face!" "I've discovered the little secret of your master, the Red Eagle." "You've guarded it well." "You've seen wounds on his back?" "They looked old, scars, and Sátur didn't have them before." "What am I going to do here now?" "I don't have anything." "It's a pity I have to kill you." "Can you imagine what would have happened had I not been with his Majesty when he received this letter?" "Margarita!" "Don't go." "Kill him!" "Shoot, Master, shoot!" "Master!" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "We've lost a shoe, Ma'am." "May God save me, sir!" "We're not half a day on the way and already we have setbacks." "Ma'am, a horse, it's lost a shoe." "Reshoe him at once." "Nuño is at the monastery waiting for us to pick him up." "But, Ma'am, it's not that simple." "They need a blacksmith to do it." "How clumsy!" "Ma'am, the trip to Vienna is long and tiring, if you want... you can rest in that nearby abandoned farmhouse." "A farmhouse?" "Do I have a look of a sheep, Catalina?" "The cold is unbearable." "My cloak." "Yes, Ma'am." "Get the carriage off the road." "Margarita, the lady's cloak." "Ma'am." "Catalina, have one of the guards take the horse to the blacksmith." "Yes, Ma'am." "Also, have this note taken to the Commissioner." "Please, don't go." "I'm going, Gonzalo." "Master!" "Are you sure the charge will be enough?" "Yes, Commissioner." "I've put in enough explosive to send him flying straight to Vienna." "Remember, the Count von Olsen's carriage is the only one who carries the shield of the royal house of Austria." "I know, sir." "I've arranged for a man fire two shots into the air to warn of their arrival." "Only then will I block the way." "Don't confuse it with the servants' carriages." "They departed in advance, they must be about to arrive." ""...those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers,..." ""and know that I am the Lord..." ""when I wreak My vengeance upon them."" "Ezekiel XXV, 17." "Your reading gets better each time,... but you're not getting better with the rest of the subjects." "You ought to apply yourself more." "I will." "You're the best Master I could ever have." "Who dares enter my room in such a manner?" "His Majesty, king Felipe IV." "Your king, and that of all Spain." "It is an honor to receive you in my palace, your Majesty." "My daughter, it may be more appropriate to continue with the lesson later." "What is it, sir?" "A monk has made a discovery that could bring down the Christian religion as we know it." "This is a serious event." "What is it?" "The fifth Gospel, written by Judas, which the heretics called "The True Bible"." "Your Majesty, these texts and their search are totally forbidden by the Church." "I'd have been warned if so." "It seems you don't have as good a control as you think over members of your clergy." "These writings should not reach the ears of the people." "Do we know who's behind it?" "He's a Franciscan, a Father Alejandro." "I've ordered his arrest." "Do whatever you have to to make him surrender the Gospel." "Master, you might have been killed!" "No, it nearly killed me, too, it almost stopped my heart in shock!" "I was just practicing." "No!" "No, when you practice, you don't fall headlong to the ground." "That's not training, that's reckless!" "I'm sure that it's because you know you've lost Margarita forever." "Let's go." "Sure, run off if you want, but don't try to deny it!" "I'm hurt, too, but that's that." "Are you sure you said everything you could to Margarita to try to make her stay?" "I don't know if you understand me." "Look, Sátur..." "Look out." "They're in a hurry, right?" "Let's go." "The Marquise has left a few things in the palace for the school." "Have you noticed, Master?" "That rider dropped a book." "Leave it." "Why leave it?" "Two masked men loaded to the gills with books, riding like the devil was after them and you're not even a bit curious?" "You said it yourself." "They're just books." "Let's go." "I sure don't understand, Master." "Let's go, I sure don't know the standard you set for what's suspicious and what isn't." "You've had me riding until my butt melt like burnt sugar for less significant things before." "This has turned into a vice." "Have you noticed?" "There are several books about chivalry and adventure." "You'll see how much fun we can have with them." "Are you sure you told Aunt Margarita everything you could so she wouldn't leave?" "I should have gone as well." "You left these two." "Ah!" "Thanks." "If you need help, the doctor hasn't yet forbidden me to carry loads." "Are you pregnant?" "Yes." "Hernán and I are expecting a son." "Well...congratulations." "Thank you." "Fine." "Alonso!" "Let's go!" "If you don't need anything else, they're awaiting me with some urgency." "Don't worry, we know the way out." "Alonso, let's go!" "~ See you." "~ Later, then." "Sir." "A dangerous murderer escaped from the asylum of San Carlos while he was being transferred." "We'll catch up to him, sir." "A note has arrived from the Marquesa, Commissioner." "You may retire." ""Dear Hernán, I have need of you once again." ""I forgot about beautiful black sapphire earrings in my chambers."" "Commissioner!" "Help!" "Sir, it's Doña Irene." ""The Count von Olsen will stop by for them." "I beg you to hand them over." ""In the end, he stayed in town for a few days and kindly provided me with his carriage to make me more comfortable on the trip to Vienna."" "I didn't want to say it while the Marquesa was in earshot, but why don't you go back?" "Just because, Catalina." "I've decided to go along." "I'd rather think about the future rather than about what I left behind." "But left your heart in town!" "As I see it, since you shut poor Gonzalo's mouth,... now it's no wonder it's killing you." "It's normal." "What wonder, Catalina?" "What doubt?" "Whether we've brought suitable clothing for traveling the Alps?" "This wonder: what would Gonzalo have told you?" "Maybe he wanted to tell you that he loves you." "Ma'am." "Disgusting." "Let's go." "Ma'am, give me two minutes and these will be like sprays of gold." "Go on, sit down." "It's not the same as your French "chaise en lounge" but for a short time...curl up and rest." "This is disgusting, Catalina." "I'd rather wait in the carriage and not have to endure this plague." "Guards!" "Guards." "Guards!" "Shut the door!" "What's going on?" "Here, give me the bar, you!" "Hurry, Catalina!" "On three, push on three!" "Ma'am, what's going on out there?" "Well, that sure took a while, Master!" "What's up in the palace?" "The Marquesa, she wanted to leave me some books." "And the Commissioner is going to be a father." "And you spit it so uncaringly and unexpectedly?" "We'll have to give them some of Alonso's old booties or something as a shower present." "Sátur, Sátur, I'm the only one who knows we're family." "Right." "And me, of course." "It took the Commissioner a while, didn't it?" "Because I'd take Miss Irene into the paddock and..." "You want to put the nephew into the tree drawing?" "No, let it go." "Are you sure?" "Look, there's a nice gap here in the place for your sister,... and it's sure been a while since we learned anything new about her." "Let's see: we've got some people in hiding, some people leaving, and just a few left behind." "Soon we'll all be gone!" "Sátur, I've got a lot of work just now." "Agreed?" "Master, before you concentrate on the reading, I want to show something." "What now?" "For the first time I took the initiative and I went for the book that the rider dropped on the bridge." "It has traces of blood." "Well, Sátur, someone will have gotten a paper cuts, that's all, whatever." "Master, Master, I understand that right now you are more a lover than a hero, but you have to..." "Sátur, yes, Margarita's gone!" "And maybe I won't see her again, but you don't have to repeat that every single minute." "All right, sorry, sorry if..." "I've offended you, but, Master,..." "I don't think this was done by turning the pages." "Right?" "This is from the Franciscan monastery." "From the Franciscans?" "Are you going to tell me that the Franciscans have gotten involved in slaughtering pigs?" "Or is someone slaughtering them?" "!" "I always thought that eventually you'd end up giving up these revolutionary ideas you had in the seminary." "But look at you, you're furiously biting the hand that feeds you." "Perhaps you've forgotten, dear friend, that the only cure for a rabid dog is their sacrifice." "The years have treated you well, Cardinal." "You know that gluttony's a deadly sin, right?" "Of course, I can't forget the deadly sins." "I enjoy them daily." "It was nice to see you again, Francisco de Mendoza, but I won't ever hand over The True Bible." "If you don't, this book will cause irreparable damage to our parishioners, will deprive them of their faith,... of what they need to believe." "The people need to know the truth, to know that Jesus was not a god, but an ordinary man." "An interesting point of view, no doubt, but hardly original." "Just last week the Holy Inquisition set on fire a man with similar ideas." "When The True Bible is made public, no one will need fear punishment by the wrath of God." "They'll lose their fear, and you'll lose your wealth." "If you don't surrender this Bible before this evening, you will die." "Guards." "Your disciple will attest that I'm deadly serious." "Let's see if the people and the truth matters more than your own life." "Let him say goodbye to him and then take him away." "I don't want the palace to reek of death." "How's my son?" "Irene's bleeding a lot and has started having contractions." "If they don't stop... ~ Could he die?" "~ It's too soon to say that." "Do whatever's necessary to save the life of my son." "Sorry, came to place some flowers and didn't know you were here." "Better that I come back later." "Wait!" "I have to talk to you." "The doctor's about to leave, he has a lot of work to do." "I'll see you later." "What can I do for you, Sir?" "Which maid is responsible for scrubbing the floor of the palace?" "Sir, we all take turns." "Whose turn was it today?" "I'm sorry, I was on other duties." "So gather all the servants in the kitchen." "There's nobody here, not even God." "It's a figure of speech." "Forgive me." "Don't take me seriously." "Sátur, look out." "By the mother who bore me, Master!" "These books are centuries old." "They are invaluable." "This is where the monks translated and copied them." "Pardon my ignorance, but isn't copying a capital offense rather than charity?" "I don't think that...that the author..." "A-ris-to-tle, Aristotle, would like his work to be copied." "They didn't do it for the credit, they did it to share knowledge as widely as possible." "Aristotle?" "Wasn't he the one with that trembling illness?" "No, no." "Master!" "Holy Christ, Master!" "What a massacre!" "How lucky!" "Father!" "They've grabbed Father Alejandro and his servant." "Why?" "What do they want with him?" "He found it." "Father, what did he find?" "The fifth." "The fifth." "Father, Father!" "What's he saying about the fifth?" "The fifth what?" "He's stopped." "Has he gone?" "Don't be an idiot, Catalina." "Get back." "He's thinking about how to get in." "If he returns and comes in, we'll defend ourselves by any means." "We're three against one." "Right." "And with what weapons?" "The guard had his skull split in two with an ax." "That's not a man out there, it's an animal." "We won't defend ourselves with our fists." "Then we'd better look for help." "Help, help, help!" "Margarita, Margarita!" "They won't hear us." "We're pretty far from the carriage and the road." "What will we do, Ma'am?" "What Margarita said." "We have to seek help." "Catalina, you go." "But, Ma'am..." "But, Ma'am, if she goes he'll kill her." "Please." "Have you forgotten who I am?" "I'm your mistress, and you're my servant." "If you don't go, I'll kill you myself." "~ I'm going with you." "~ You stay here." "You stay right here!" "Margarita, please!" "I'm just going to look, all right, I'm just going to look." "Help me." "~ There's nobody here." "~ Go, go!" "Madam, please!" ""The fifth"...there are lots of things that come in fives, lots." "Five..." "Five..." "Are you sure you said "fifth" and not "red wine"?" "The clergy really knows how to find the bottom of a cup, Master." "I already know why they've taken Father Alejandro." "What, have you solved the riddle with that book?" "And I was proud of finding the blood on the book...!" "Father Alejandro has spent his life studying what some have called "The True Bible",... and it contends that there were five Gospels." "The fifth, that's what the monk was referring to." "Wait, wait, wait." "How can there be five?" "How can there be five Evangelists, if for my whole life there have only been four?" "Saint Matthew, Saint Mark, Saint Luke and Saint John." "Where did the fifth come from?" "He was always there." "What happens is that we cover it up:" "Judas." "Judas, the kisser, the traitor?" "What Father Alejandro defends is that at first there were five Evangelists,... but the Church published them all but that one." "Hardly surprising, considering whose hand wrote it, that they suppressed it." "No, that's not why." "They rejected it because it implied that Jesus was the son of a man, not of God." "Stop, stop, stop..." "Jesus was what?" "This writing says that Jesus was just an ordinary Joe Blow like Cipriano or me?" "What about the miracles, then?" "Sátur, the Bible should be interpreted." "Not everything that it says should be taken as literal truth." "Master, Jesus walked on water, raised Lazarus, multiplied the loaves and fishes,... and that's as true as there is a sun!" "Miracles as such don't exist." "Of course they exist!" "God exists!" "So does Jesus, as His son." "And they exist because we need hope." "Life is already screwed up enough and full of calamities." "We need to know that afterwards...afterwards there is something better." "And also to know the truth." "Don't tell me that having suffered so much you haven't wished that one day you'll meet your wife up there in heaven." "We must go back to the monastery." "Maybe there's something that'll lead us to Father Alejandro." "Yeah, rescue Alejandro, help him publicize the Gospel for Heretics,... and if you want to shatter the lives of all mankind, but me...don't count on me." "~ Have you seen María?" "~ No." "I already saw her this morning." "María, María, you have to get out of here." "The Commissioner is coming down." "He wants to find out who spilled the water which caused Doña Irene to slip." "But I didn't do it!" "I just scrubbed the hall floor!" "That hardly matters." "He won't want to listen to you." "You have to run off as far as you can." "If he catches you, you're dead, María." "And where am I going to go?" "I think he's here." "Run, scram, go!" "Stop what you're doing." "You all know about the unfortunate accident that has afflicted my wife." "I want to know which useless scum was washing the floor." "Sir, there are lots of us, it's hard to know who did it." "This here is a matter of order." "All right, this is easily fixed." "He's number one." "You'll be number two." "No, please!" "No, Sir, no!" "It was María, she did it!" "I don't see anything, but I know he's out there." "Lurking like wolves prey." "He'll soon return." "Madam!" "Are you all right?" "~ Are you all right?" "~ Yes." "A pistol!" "And it's loaded." "We can defend ourselves." "Thanks be to God!" "Stop your prayers, God's not going to like seeing this." "When that bastard comes through that door I'll blow off his head." "Idiot!" "What are you doing?" "~ Leave it." "~ No, I won't leave it." "Who do you think you are to treat us like this?" "We're not in your palace, we're in a shelter on the point of death,... and being the Marquesa de Santillana isn't going to be of any use to you here." "~ Margarita..." "~ Death will treat us all the same." "Who do you think you are?" "Margarita..." "Margarita!" "Help!" "Oh, Ma'am, help me!" "Ma'am, help me!" "There, let's go, take it." "Leave me in peace!" "Please!" "Shut up or I'll kill you!" "Please, please, sir, no, no!" "Please, please!" "Quiet!" "No!" "Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name..." "Cipri!" "It's all over." "Calm down, you're safe." "Let me see." "~ Are you all right?" "~ I think so." "~ Let's walk." "~ What are you doing here?" "Well...to go with you Vienna, under the carriage." "What?" "That's it:" "I was hiding under the carriage." "Relax, my love, don't worry." "I made sure the coachmen were asleep before I came out." "And the lady, and Margarita?" "He beat them." "They're in the shelter." "My love, look, I can't let them see me, I have to get back under the carriage." "Come by a little later." "You got it?" "Wake up the coachmen and ask for help." "Excuse me, I didn't see her." "Are you all right, is something the matter?" "No, nothing." "You remind me of someone." "Please, please, let me go!" "Let me go, it wasn't me!" "Sir, sir, it wasn't me!" "Arrange everything to hang her." "She dies at dusk." "Sir, Sir, please, it wasn't me!" "I just left the bucket on the floor, please, sir, help, it wasn't me!" "It wasn't me, please, help!" "This is less than you deserve." "If my son dies, your whole family dies as well." "Drag her along." "Help!" "See you." "Ave María Purísima." "Skip the formalisms, Cardinal." "How was Father Alejandro able to escape?" "No reason to worry, your Majesty." "It's true that he has escaped, but he'll return to deliver the fifth gospel into our own hands." "Explain." "As you well know, family is the Achilles's heel of every man worth his salt." "It has been a pleasant surprise to discover that Father Alejandro's elderly mother lives in a village in the mountains." "You think he'll trade her for the Bible?" "Yes, and at this very moment, my men have invited her to leave her home." "I hope so." "If that Bible is delivered to the people, they'll begin to doubt the existence of God,... and then they'll begin to doubt the legitimacy of the monarchy." "Leave this in my hands, your Majesty." "The monarchy and the Church are united in their common purpose of preventing the people from thinking for themselves." "Fine." "Do whatever's necessary." "Ego te absolvo a pecatis tuis in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritu Sancto." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, like always." "Don't, Hell, no!" "As if I can be here chopping turnips without wondering whether you're destroying the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!" "Sátur, Mariana can hear you." "Don't worry, I haven't found the fifth Gospel." "No, finish the sentence." "Finish the sentence." "~ What?" "~ You haven't found it YET." "Yet." "Besides, you're a bit stubborn and won't leave it at that, for sure." "~ I'll keep looking for it." "~ Aha." "And I want you to help me." "Sátur, you have the chance to learn the truth." "Don't you want to?" "But the truth is what's believed by most people." "If not, see, why would they believe it?" "Listen to me: you always say you wanted Gabi to live in a better world than you have." "And don't you think it would be better if it were better informed, less ignorant?" "Here we go." "As soon as you run out of reasons, you go for blackmail!" "Sátur, I know the truth is more important to you than you'll admit." "You went back this morning to find that book." "You're the one who discovered the book we're making our way through now." "Fine, that's that:" "I discovered it, I'll get rid of it." "It's over." "But we'll see whether I'll be the one to bring down our Lord!" "I'm not talking about God, much less telling you what you should or shouldn't believe." "I just want you to have as much information as possible, so you can look into things for yourself." "But I don't want to look into things!" "I'm happy with the way things are and how I am!" "That I have enough for a broth,... or go out to the streets to see the sun shine, like everyone else." "Sátur, you're not like everybody else!" "Most folks won't care if they can't read, but to get the most out of you, you try get better at it every day." "You cadge a book from me every night a book to learn more, Sátur,... and only those who want to get a bit better as a person every day do that." "Surely you know how to talk...!" "All right, I'll help you find that Bible." "But wait and see what we do with it then!" "~ Here, it was under your pillow." "~ Thanks." ""They're going to kill an innocent woman, Father,..." ""but I was the one who spilled the water in the Marquesa's palace..." ""and the Commissioner's son is going to die." ""I ought to go turn myself in." ""I love you."" "For God's sake, and the Son and the Holy Spirit..." "The Commissioner isn't with his wife, but wait here, I'll check the stables." "Good, but hurry, it's important." "What are you doing here?" "You see, when she slipped, the floor was wet." "How do you know?" "Alonso!" "What the Hell are you doing here?" "The Commissioner's wife is recovering." "Go on home." "Wait!" "He was about to say something to me." "Father, what he's going to do is wrong, he needs to know." "Yes, Alonso, yes." "My son, like me, doesn't believe in corporal punishment." "Get out of here, beat it!" "Irene..." "Irene, are you all right?" "The doctor, fetch the doctor!" "It's over, it's over!" "Good thing the farmer saved your life." "Don't you know where he is?" "I want to thank him." "He already left." "Real heroes don't hang around waiting for a reward." "Let's go!" "Oh, clumsy!" "Get on in." "Wake up!" "You should have checked the shoes before leaving." "On arrival in Vienna you'll receive your punishment." "I won't overlook this." "Madam Marquesa, you can be sure he prepared everything as best as possible." "Stuff happens." "It's his fault we were nearly killed." "Your death may be insignificant, Margarita, "stuff happens", as you say, but not my death." "Guards, kill him!" "No, Ma'am, for God's sake, please!" "Are you satisfied, Margarita, or do you want some more?" "No, for pity's sake, for pity's sake!" "Get in, Margarita." "Nuño's waiting for me." "I don't understand why we come to school at all, if everything you teach is a lie." "I need you to understand." "I can't!" "It's my fault but I won't even be punished?" "Look, Irene's fall was an accident." "Accidents happen." "I know, but an innocent woman'll die, and I feel like I killed her myself, so I have to do something." "~ No." "~ Father, let me go!" "Listen to me, listen to me!" "You're right, it's not fair." "But, please, I can't lose you now, too." "Your mother died unjustly, and now you've saved yourself." "It's like...it's like life has given you back." "Even if you don't understand." "~ But Father..." "~ Please." "Please." "Come here." "Even a child knows that what I've done is totally contrary to everything I've been taught." "Master, it's a right fuckup, but it's what growing up takes." "The child must learn that sometimes you have to be selfish, even when it goes against one's principles." "I don't know, Sátur." "I do, since I don't have your principles, so I avoid many problems down the line." "Although you have a backup: the Red Eagle, who will save the maid, right?" "Right." "Though when I do, she'll have to leave town and everything she has, and never come back again." "As a hero you're generous enough with the people,... that's one thing, but it's something else to be a martyr." "You've done well." "I hope so." "What's this?" "I found it in Father Alejandro's desk." "It's blank." "No, it has some holes." "Oh, right, yeah, sure." "There have to be termites in a monastery, right?" "Sátur, wait." "Don't even budge." "What is it?" "It's a formation." "Like an army?" "~ Yeah." "~ Of what?" "A formation." "That means that we're going back to the monastery, right?" "No, not you, I'd rather you keep a stern watch on Alonso." "Right." "A formation?" ""Father Alexander, do you enjoy your freedom?" ""My men will be waiting here for you before the sun sets." ""You'll hand over the gospel or your mother dies."" "Good afternoon, Commissioner." "What are you doing here?" "Some matters to discuss in court have delayed my departure." "So you won't leave today for Vienna?" "Probably tomorrow, when they've fixed the Marquesa's carriage." "I imagine the Marquesa has delayed her trip." "She went on ahead in the greatest comfort, she left in my carriage." "Your carriage?" "That's right." "If I may, I'd like to collect the earrings left behind." "Help, please, help!" "Please, give me that knife, this way won't get you anywhere." "My wife doesn't deserve to die." "She didn't spill any water." "Order them to let her go and I'll free your wife." "Don't you dare hurt her." "Quiet or I'll kill her!" "Listen to me, you're not a killer --- please!" " you're a good man." "Please, let her go." "She didn't do it." "She didn't spill any water." "You're going to kill an innocent woman, is that clear?" "If you harm her you'll see your wife die and follow her on directly." "Alonso!" "Where is this child?" "What's going on, son?" "Easy." "Easy." "This is what you're looking for." "The Gospel according to Judas." "Yes, woman, yes, Alonso, a blond kid, about my height,... well...more like you, with a hint of a mustache,... who came this morning for some books." "Yeah, yeah, the teacher's kid." "I haven't seen him since he left with his father." "~ Are you sure?" "~ Quite." "Where the Hell is that kid?" "And the Commissioner?" "Is the Commissioner at the dungeons?" "No, he's in his suite." "Wounded." "~ Wounded?" "~ Yes." "What happened to him?" "He was stabbed." "A horrible thing." "They killed my mother because of me." "Much too high a price." "Sometimes the best way to hide something is in plain view." "I've changed the cover." "Guard it." "It's you, who risk so much to protect common people, who'll better know when to unveil it." "Are you sure?" "Whoever is looking for it will go after me." "Sir?" "Sir, how are you?" "Wait, wait, wait, don't move." "I'll bring you some water." "~ Sir, I came to inform you that..." "~ The Marqués..." "The murderer from the asylum has been found dead, sir." "The Marquesa's carriage." "The Marquesa?" "Sir, I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean." "She's being threatened." "The Marquesa is in danger." "Her carriage is going to be blown up." "No reaction." "Quick, call a doctor." "Master!" "The book." "But we haven't managed to capture your Father Alexander." "No, not "Father Alejandro"." "Simply Alejandro Avendaño." "They excommunicated him." "Should we continue the search?" "Of course." "You may retire." "Living a whole life in a religious order, to die like a common man!" "What a let-down!" "It's beautiful." "Is it really for me, Your Eminence?" "All good work is rewarded." "You've worked on learning to read and that's your prize." "I've never had any new clothes before." "I can't thank you enough." "Don't thank me, "quid pro quo"." "Do you know what that means?" "It's a phrase in Latin which means "one good turn deserves another"." "No, stop." "Come here." "I want to read to you." ""Hapesarot meet juda"." "That means "The Gospel according to Judas"." "Fucking heretic!" "My son!" "My son, my son!" "No, no, no!" "No, no!" "Halt!" "Stop!" "Stop the carriage, stop!" "Halt, stop the carriage!" "What's going on?" "Let's go, out!" "Everybody out of the carriage!" "The carriage is going to blow up, out!" "Out of the carriage, hurry!" "Let's go!" "~ Come on, son!" "~ Enough!" "Let's go, let's go!" "Cipri!" "Cipri's under the carriage!" "Out, come on!" "~ Help!" "~ Cipri!" "Move!" "Help, please!" "Get going!" "I can't, please, get me out of here!" "Help!" "Let's get going." "May the Lord have mercy!" "Cipriano was trapped under the carriage" "He could be dead, the old fool!" "But what was he looking for under there?" "He wanted to start a new life in Vienna." "Another one for Vienna!" "But, but...why are we losing everyone to there?" "Have you seen Alonso?" "Yes, Master, yes." "I thought he'd gone back to the palace but he was at the river." "Now he's in his room, quieter than a shoe." "Praying, but then you're going to take away his God." "To make decisions you need knowledge." "No, don't come at me with phrases which make me think, just don't." "Don't." "Well, what?" "What, where is it?" "Where's what?" "Not "what", "who"." "Where is "who"?" "What, have you done it again?" "He's done it again, mother of God, he's done it again!" "If you're referring to Margarita, she's in the palace." "In a while she'll be on her way again to Vienna." "She's leaving again?" "Surely it's God's doing that you and I should be on opposite sides lately!" "You're not moving a finger about it!" "Now what's happened?" "Answer:" "Why didn't you bring her back?" "Margarita is very clear that she wants to leave." "No, Master." "Opportunities are like sunrises, if you're late, you miss them, and you already missed two of them." "Do you want to live your life in twilight?" "I won't insist on something I already know the answer to." "Go after the windmill!" "You know you're badly off without Margarita!" "Very badly, very badly indeed!" "Or don't you even see it?" "Even your Eagle mouth cover is drying up!" "Do me a favor: go and find her, talk to her, but do it well, and bring her back." "I can't, Sátur." "I have to go save the maid and her husband from the gallows." "Ah, no, no, no!" "Don't hide behind your work, those won't meet their fate until later on." "So you've got plenty of time." "I beg you for God's sake, go fetch her." "I have to go." "As you will." "You're always going off on tangents." "And living in loneliness." "I might be your companion, but..." "I'm not the plump body you go to bed with every night." "Certainly not!" "No way!" "Lucrecia!" "Wow, looks like you're really surprised to see me!" "You didn't expect me to be alive." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You were on the verge of killing your son, Hernán." "I couldn't lose Nuño." "If you hadn't changed their coach nothing would have happened." "Damn you." "Count." "~ Is everything all right, my dear?" "~ Sure." "We leave in half an hour." "Everything is ready, you should prepare yourself." "Agreed." "Wait while I freshen up." "I come to say goodbye, Commissioner." "I want to leave as soon as possible, Spain is no longer a safe place for me." "I can't let you leave with that impression." "My best men will accompany you to the frontier." "I would be very grateful." "After a robbery and an attempted murder...we can't be too careful." "Even more is called for, with the Marquesa involved." "All this surely affected her delicate situation." "Delicate situation?" "What do you mean by that?" "Well, the situation of the Marquesa, that of..." "Sorry, I thought you knew." "Tell me what's happening." "I guess you've noticed the sudden mood swings of the Marquesa." "They result from her illness." "From the Portuguese disease." "Syphilis?" "Commissioner?" "Master." "You've already saved the maid and her husband, right?" "Yes, Sátur, someday somebody'll hear you." "Now that you've finished..." "What are you doing?" "No, every time I try to talk about this you vanish like a puff of smoke." "Now sit down." "Do me a favor, sit down." "All right, what's on your mind?" "Margarita." "You have to go see her while there's still time." "Sátur, don't push it, not again." "No, sit down, for God's sake, sit down." "I'm going to help you." "If you want, we'll write down what you have to say." "What you have to say." "Here, for example: "Don't go"." "No, no, that's already been said." ""Stay here"." "No, that's the same as the other one, just like it..." ""Without you I'm nothing."" "No, better not, it's too classical." "Margarita." "You're not on the way to Vienna?" "It turns out we're not going." "Do you mean the trip's been put off until tomorrow...or for a few days?" "~ No, I mean..." "~ She's telling you she's staying." "The lady's staying, it means she's staying." "The Count von Olsen has called off the wedding with the Marquesa." "He decided to marry someone from his own country." "Margarita Hernando?" "Yes, that's me." "Thanks." "Is something up?" "No, nothing." "I have to go out." "But Master, she's leaving again!" "Could it be that the Count von Olsen has changed his mind!" "?" "It's not worth it." "I know." "What do you want from me?" "I'm going to live in Italy, Margarita." "But before I go I want to give you this." "Why give it to me?" "It was my engagement ring." "It belongs to Juan's family." "You'll need it more than I will." "To make decisions you need knowledge." "Let's see what nonsense you wrote, Judas." "I can't see a thing, it's too dark here." "Oh, no!" "For God's sake, no, what have I done?" "What the Hell are these sticks?" "Leave it." "Sir, I think it's important." "This is the Holy Grail." "Tell me about it." "I saw a woman under the bridge go down to the village." "A Chinaman!" "Hell, there's nothing we don't stumble with...!" "Can you believe no one has come to see her?" "Neither her husband nor the Marquesa." "Where am I?" "The Chinaman's woken up." "Easy." "Do you need someone to carry the fruit?" "I can work from dawn to dusk at whatever's needed, I need work." "Give me a task, whatever it might be." "He's looking for his daughter." "She escaped with a Spanish merchant despite being engaged to the emperor." "Do you really care so little what happens to your wife?" "The only thing I asked you to do was save my son." "Is that Hernán's estate?" "If Irene were to die, the Commissioner would become the most interesting widower in the Spanish court." "I don't have any money." "I have nothing." "I have to find that girl." "But why do we need to expand our business?"
