"Margarita." "I came to bring you this." "It's from Carmen and Arturo, they're inviting us to the wedding." "How nice." "His Holiness Pope Alexander VII, is ensconced in one of our cells." "The resemblance is amazing, right?" "Isn't he?" "The Pope?" "No." "I'm not going to that wedding." "Margarita, I don't want to go, either." "I just saw how they kidnapped the Pope." "Mother, have you been drinking again?" "What does this mean?" "We wanted to ask you something." "That you be our best man and bridesmaid." "That you be our best man and bridesmaid." "I don't want to see a single prostitute... in the town for the duration of the Pope's visit." "If you have to use force, do it." "They're going to kill us." "Guards!" "Alonso, she got into your house." "What?" "We have to warn the guards." "Hush." "Irene, you'd better have a man always close to defend you." "You're... beautiful." "Thank you." "Love is not envious, it does not boast, does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth." "Where were you?" "Under the straw." "You're more beautiful when you smile." "It's the first time that some men treated me so well." "She called us men." "Gonzalo!" "She's the maid who came with me this morning." "They wanted to kill me, they made a mistake." "He has the bullet inside, you have to take it out." "We'll take it out." "Why are you doing this to me?" "I am the representative of God!" "You want to approach the king dressed as a nun?" "The only thing that the king will do, is to reward us." "No!" "Nobody breaks up with me, especially the daughter of a peasant, like you." "Father!" "Alonso!" "Thank you very much for everything." "No!" "Get him!" "I don't want to go down in history as the man who killed his Holiness." "Christianity needs men like me." "You're safe, Father." "Thanks be to God." "If this isn't the smell of man, this is need for water." "Who are you, and what are you looking for in my house?" "Master, it's me, I'm back." "Sátur!" "Yes!" "Hey, I thought you were a burglar." "No, no, it's my fault." "Since it's so late I thought all of you were sleeping." "What a joy to see you again, Master!" "You don't know how much I missed you!" "Me too, Sátur." "Well, how did the trip go?" "How have you left those poor people?" "I left them there, at the "end of the world", between mountains and goat paths." "The good news is that no one will find them there, they'll be safe." "Now I only have to care for Estuarda and Gabi." "They're fine." "You'll see them." "You stink." "You needed it." "If you don't mind, I was about to go through a "Polish"." "A what?" "A Polish:" "feet, balls and armpits." "Go on." "I don't mean to interrupt you." "To look out of the corner of your eye to compare is curiosity, but staring is a vice." "No, Sátur..." "What..." "You have..." "Of course I have!" "No, you have a pustule there." "A pustule?" "I heard a noise, and..." "Sátur!" "What are you doing like this?" "It's okay, Cipri." "Are you okay?" "I'm a little uncomfortably really." "And how about you?" "Sátur, it could be the plague." "Plague?" "Do you have the plague?" "No, it's not the plague, it's not a disease at all, that's the rubbing of the pants," "I've one there, next to the asshole, which at anytime will start talking!" "Well, I'll go to bed." "Tomorrow morning I have to do the shopping for the month." "Good night." "By the way, Gonzalo, I've taken money from the jar." "Okay." "You should go to bed, too." "You must be exhausted." "I sure am, I even lost my will to bathe." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to Devil's Mouth." "To Devil's Mouth?" "Come on, master, let's recap." "We don't even know what these guys were doing here, or who they were." "End of recap." "Sátur, some light over here." "Okay." "I have an itch here, in the groin, as to...!" "Let's see." "There's another skeleton under the table." "What could he be doing there?" "Kneeling in front of the other guy and under the table..." "I don't think he was praying." "Sátur,..." "What is it with these templars!" "Very temperate for many things, but for others you were piping hot." "Bring the torch near." "Yes." "Forgive me, master." "I'm Sorry." "Forgive me." "In top of it, I burned you." "I'm fine, Sátur." "Are you okay?" "Yes." "Bring the water." "Where did I leave the water bottle?" "Oh, God, he's seen your face, master." "Dammit, he's seen your face." "I hope this will stop the pain syphilis is causing me." "Damn this disease and who infected me." "Come in." "Majesty..." "The blood that my enemies have failed to shed... gets spilled by my doctors." "Precisely what I came to speak about, your Majesty." "Of blood and enemies." "Excuse my crudeness, Majesty." "This head belongs to an emissary of the English crown, which was intercepted by my men." "Apparently the King of England journeys towards Portugal... in order to marry the Infanta Catalina." "A union between England and Portugal?" "Portugal will be strengthened... and will no longer be ours." "Not if the marriage remains unrealized." "The English sovereign could suffer a terrible accident." "We don't know which path he has taken to Portugal." "Don't worry, Majesty." "I have in my possession the maps showing the route of the English ship." "We must kill him at sea." "It'll be done according to your orders, sir." "Cardinal..." "Who is the martyr to carry out this plan?" "Someone, I trust completely." "Majesty..." "Holy and blessed God..." "What a horrible thing." "Okay, but it's a Rubens." "He's a very famous artist." "He may be as famous as you want, but come on, how can you compare this, to a good still life painting with its fruit, its bread, its good jug with spout...?" "What's this?" "They brought it early this morning for the Commissioner." "Oh, Very well." "But contemplative life is over." "The Duke of Izaga is coming this afternoon with his daughter." "It's very important for the future of my son." "So I want everything perfect." "I want splendour, stuffed animals... and gold, lots of gold, so it becomes evident that here we have class." "The Duke has to leave here with the best taste in his mouth." "Go on." "By your leave." "Quick, out." "Excellence!" "A pleasure to meet you." "Thank you, but I'm not here to see you." "In any case, it's an honour to have you here." "Commissioner, you get pretty big gifts." "Do you have a secret admirer, Commissioner?" "Commissioner," "King Charles of England is traveling to Portugal... in order to marry the Infanta Catalina." "We must stop that marriage and you are in charge of preventing it by eliminating the English king." "This picture hides some documents... that you must give to the English financial officer, he's an ally of ours and will certainly favour Spanish interests." "Do you realize you're asking me to kill King Charles of England?" "You will travel to Cadiz with the picture." "The English have spies everywhere, so you should keep the documents in a safe place." "Once in Cadiz you'll take the documents, and board a ship that will leave you at sea on a boat." "You'll make believe you're a castaway." "When you get intercepted by the English ship, you'll get on board, and kill King Charles." "That's suicide." "I won't be able to get away." "Sometimes you have to sacrifice one life to save many others." "Didn't our Lord do so?" "I don't have the soul of a martyr." "It is a direct order of the King." "You are obligated to do it." "It's in your hands whether..." "to die like a hero, or as a traitor." "It had to happen." "It had to happen some day, master, and it's all my fault." "God, God, God!" "Calm down." "How can I calm down?" "We spent all night going back and forth... watching all the places where he could denounce you." "We haven't found any trace of the man." "Now what the hell do we do?" "Where should we look?" "On leaving Devil's Mouth I found a tray, which he must have dropped." "He must work in the gold mines." "Ah, that's that." "Let's not rest on our laurels, come on!" "Where are you going?" "To get the señora and the boy, to bring them to the inn of your friend Pedro Toledo." "Don't be affraid, I know what I have to do while you kill that man." "Sátur, I won't kill him." "Are you saying you won't kill him?" "He saw your face!" "I can't kill an innocent man." "What do you mean?" "That was the first thing you said to me when I saw your face:" ""I'll have to kill you."" "But I didn't." "I can't do it now, either." "Master..." "It's not the time to aquire Christian morals." "If that man has betrayed you, then you and your family are dead." "Don't you see where the balance is tilted?" "What if he doesn't want to give me away?" "What if he's a good person?" "It honours you a lot to believe in the nobility of mankind, but not all of us human beings are good." "You and your family can't rely on a..." ""Perhaps he's a good person." What if he isn't?" "At the moment, he hasn't give me away." "But he may be doing it at this very moment!" "I remind you that your head has a price on it, in case you forgot." "In these times money is very sweet." "I know how much my head is worth!" "So what will you do?" "No, look at me." "What will you do?" "Wait until the very second before he denounces you, and everything goes to hell?" "Master..." "Master, listen to me." "You can do whatever you want, even not kill him." "Now, I beg you for God's sake, take the kid, the señora, get them on a cart and flee." "They'd have to be on the run for a lifetime." "And you and Gabi." "And Catalina and Cipri." "I know they'd come after all of you." "I can't do that to you." "But I don't care." "All I want is for you to stay alive." "Faced with a choice between fugitive and death, choose fugitive, please." "I'm looking for a man who works here." "Did any of you fail to come today?" "Only one of us is missing today, he said he had something important to do." "I need his name, and where he lives." "I don't know that." "Here, we're just numbers." "Señora..." "I bring food for the reception with the Duke of Izaga." "Quail Skewers with prickly pear." "The cook has done her best." "Disgusting!" "Tell that fat cook, that if she doesn't prepare something delicious." "she'll be the one to end up with this stick up her ass." "Go." "Mother, you wanted to talk to me?" "I was trying on new clothes, but the seamstress has taken the measurements from a circus dwarf." "Right." "What do you think of this picture?" "I've been thinking and I've decided that I'll keep it." "But mother, this is the commissioner's property." "The fortune we get out of it will be ours." "I'll buy a copy, I'll make the switch..." "The Commissioner will notice, and have our heads." "That guy?" "That guy couldn't distinguish a Zurbarán from a turd." "I wanted to talk about something else." "Come, sit." "Look, son, you're of an age... when you have the urge to find someone of your level, who values your gifts and with whom to start a family." "I have this in mind, don't worry." "So glad you've thought about it." "Today, the Duke of Izaga is coming." "I've been meeting with him." "It seems that you are going to marry his daughter." "Marry, me?" "What do you mean, marry?" "This matter is already on the very right track." "What you see as on track, I see as precipitate." "I don't know this lady, I don't know if I'll like her." "Of course you'll like her!" "It's very difficult to find nobles on your level." "The list got reduced to two:" "this one, and the amorphous daughter of the Earl of Nuñez." "Even so, I should have been consulted." "I'm not a wimp to have you looking for a wife for me," "I'm the Marquis of Santillana!" "And I'm the mother who bore you!" "Son, you have to get married and have children soon." "If anything happened to you before procreating," "Nuño would inherit everything." "Mother, I remind you that to perpetuate, you don't need to be married, just take your case as an example." "The Duke comes at 15:00." "Dress like God intended." " Master, hurry, by God." "If this man didn't go to work it's because he is denouncing you." "Don't worry, the carriage and the horses are ready." "Remember to bring water." "We just need to get Alonso, who's with Gabi, and collect Margarita at the palace." "The señora, well..." "What about her?" "To convince the boy will be easy:" ""Get in the car, I say so, and I'm your father"" "but the señora..." "Remember during the pirate affair, she declined to accompany you." "But it's different now, her life is in danger." "She doesn't know!" "What will you tell her?" "What will you say?" "She won't believe the first false story you tell her." "I know that, so I'll say that someone's after me." "I'll lie on the who and the why." "You'll say they're after you?" "Yes." "A school teacher?" "And who's after you, the mouse gnawing the books in school?" "Not even swearing it, she'll believe that." "Master, for God's sake, convince her by telling her the truth." "Tell her that you're the Red Eagle." "I can't tell her that." "The señora won't get in the cart even if you yell "Fire"!" "Tell her the truth, by God." "Gonzalo de Montalvo." "That's me." "No, master." "Sátur!" "Don't take him away!" "Drop the knife!" "No!" "Sátur!" "Sátur, lower that." "Drop it." "No!" "Drop the knife, please." "Drop it." "Take him." "Let's go." "Tell Margarita the truth." "You have to take what's in the den, and that can connect us to the Red Eagle." "Take care of Alonso." "Give him the letter in which I explain who I am." "Tell them the truth, I trust you." "If I get caught they would retaliate against my family." "You can trust me completely, sir." "Sátur..." "Thanks, buddy." "Excuse me, a man has brought a letter for you." "Have him give it to you." "I won't receive anyone." "It's from señora Marquise." "Bring him right away." "Where's the Marquise?" "When did she give it to you?" "Answer!" "If you don't talk, I'll kill you." "Answer!" "Go." ""Hernán, I didn't expect to contact you until I gave birth, but fevers and pains, stronger every time, make me see that I may not survive the birth." "So I'm sending a signed document, in which I give you the legal guardianship of Nuño." "I know you'll make the best decisions for my son." "Take care of him." "Lucrecia"." ""That's suicide." "You are obligated to do it." "I won't be able to get away." "You are obligated to do it." "That's suicide." "It's a direct order from the king."" "Commissioner..." "I thought we could take the horses and go hunting." "And so spend a couple of days together." "What do you think?" "I have to make a trip." "I can't." "Okay." "What if I join you?" "No, no." "We've never done a trip together." "It's not possible, Nuño." "No." "Commissioner, I don't want to be left alone." "It's a work trip." "This time I can't take you with me." "Well..." "Then when you come back, we'll do the hunt." "Sure." "When I return..." "No, please..." "By seeing your daughter suffer you'll pay for what you've done." "Someone gave us your name." "I'm solely responsible, my family doesn't know anything..." "Gonzalo!" "Gonzalo!" "What is it?" "What are you doing here?" "Gonzalo, good thing they found you." "You have to tell them I work for you." "He was arrested for disturbing public order." "They tried to steal the money for the food." "On accusing a man, I ended up fighting." "Cipri..." "I vouch for him." "Can you let him go?" "He must pay a fine, for the damage caused in the street." "I'll pay it." "Thank you, Gonzalo." "Thank you..." "I'm sorry." "This corner is poorly decorated." "Bring the golden vase that was here." "Excuse me, but if you add more gold, when light enters the room your guests will be blinded." "That's the idea, to dazzle them." "What could you know about style." "My palace has to be like Fontainebleau, not like the Inn of the One-armed-man." "Come on, go get it." "Come on, go, go." "Oh, come here, let me see you." "Oh..." "What's that smell?" "I've put on a little bergamot scent." "The duke's daughter bloomers will drop down when she sees you." "You look like Adonis." "And speaking of beauty, look at this picture." "I told you not to touch this picture, if the commisioner finds out..." "Well, I've already switched it, and you haven't even noticed." "The Duke of Izaga and daughter." "Come, come." "Duke!" "Señora Carolina..." "What a joy to see you." "Welcome to my humble abode." "In addition to this palace and those at Santander, what other possessions has the Marquis of Santillana?" "Lands in general and a mansion in Soria in particular." "But I say again, the fertility of these lands has skyrocketed." "We had more profits than ever." "Always a pleasure, Duke." "It's been a while, Hernán." "We could have a drink for old times sake." "There's an important matter that I'd like to discuss with you." "Yes, but do it later." "We were going to talk now." "The weather is great today." "Perhaps the Marquis and the señora want to take a walk." "Yes, go take that walk." "Gentlemen..." "I understand that you've come to formalize the marriage... of your daughter to the Marquis of Santillana." "You know the Marquis has been raised between rats and filth." "What accounts for this sudden interest in the marriage of my daughter?" "To the fact that perhaps you confused brothers." "Nuño?" "He has nothing to offer me." "But maybe I do." "I've heard that you're having serious problems with your lover." "Women can lose their minds when they're expecting a child." "I guarantee the silence of your lover if Nuño de Santillana marries your daughter." "Hey..." "Don't worry, these herbs will surely heal your stepfather sores." "Yes..." "But they won't make him walk again." "Do you think Lola will be okay?" "I hope so." "I've never seen a woman so beautiful." "What about you?" "Never." "I'm going to finish my homework, okay?" "Goodbye!" "Excuse me." "Get off me." "Give it to your father." "Alonso, come to the palace as fast as you can." "Sátur." "Look out, look out!" "How come that Margarita isn't here?" "Well, when will she be back?" "I don't know, she's gone to town for fabrics." "Now there are daily orders." "I'm asking when she'll be back!" "How long since she left?" "Well, aproximatelly..." "Not aproximatelly!" "There's no time left!" "Don't you get it?" "Forgive me, it's not your fault." "It's just that this is very important." "Oh..." "Sátur!" "What is it?" "Why was it so important for me to come?" "What is a cart full of our stuff doing out there?" "It's that..." "We're going on a trip." "What?" "Yes." "Such a rush just to go on a trip?" "Yes." "Hello!" "What is it?" "What are you doing here?" "Did something happen?" "Alonso, go, go." "Go see if there are enough warm clothes in the cart." "A man at the street gave this to me." "It's for Father." "Come on, come on!" "Sit down, señora." "What's up, Sátur?" "I have to tell you something very important." "What?" "You know that the master is not much given to talking," "Though because of books and literature stuff he may seem lazy and sissy, sometimes people are not what they seem." "What do you mean?" "He's not a teacher?" "Not that, he's indeed a teacher." "He's a teacher, especially by day." "What happens is that..." "Gonzalo de Montalvo is..." "He's a hero, señora, he's the..." "He's the most amazing master I had in my damn life!" "That's what I wanted to say." "What's the matter?" "Nothing, just that I raised his wages." "Oh..." "I really don't understand a thing." "Margarita!" "Doña Sagrario is looking for you." "She's the mood of a hydra... because of the golden vase she asked Catalina to get." "Coming." "See you." "Bye." "Cipri had been arrested, for getting into a fight." "They led me to the jail so I could vouch that he works for me." "Damn Cipri and the mother who bore him!" "I've been on the verge of spitting it all out." "Well, if that man hasn't given me away yet, maybe it's because he won't do it." "There are still good people, Sátur." "Yes.." "Whatever you say, but I haven't seen these good people." "By the way, your son gave me this note to you." ""I know who you are." "Meet me at 19:00 in the Rye Woods clearing"." "Oh my God..." "Oh, Holy Mother, Nuño." "How you've grown!" "Catalina?" "By God, what a scare you gave me!" "Where have you been?" "Where could I possibly be?" "Here, fulfilling the wishes of..." "Her Majesty, the tyrant." "Didn't she forbid us to enter here?" "She even asked you to give her the key." "Sure..." "And I gave it to her, but I have another one." "If she founds out, you'll get in trouble." "Sure." "And if I don't bring her what she wants when she wants it, I will as well." "If what she wants is here, I must have another key." "Also true." "Overall, it's nonsense." "If you have all the keys, why shouldn't you have this?" "Oh, here, here." "Here's the damn golden vase," "I don't understand the obsession she has about golden things." "She wants everything golden." "Certainly she wants to be ordinary." "Hey, girl." "How is it that she's thought of taking this here upstairs?" "No..." "When I went to the salon, it was down there." "Was there another one down there?" "With them being so expensive, Why did she buy two alike?" "No, they never make two alike." "That's why they're so valuable." "This has been forged." "What do you mean forged?" "But what for?" "What for, do you ask?" "Because someone wants to keep the original." "And it has to be this one, that's why it's locked up." "Someone?" "No." "Not just someone." "Her..." "señora Sagrario." "That's why the fuss about giving her my key, and forbidding us to go in here." "Holy Mother, what shall we do?" "What could we possibly do?" "Take the vase and go." "Don't, girl." "And when the commissioner finds out that they switched it?" "Then Sagrario will be in trouble." "No, not Sagrario." "Sagrario will deny it, and she'll cast the blame on us, the servants." "Master, by God I beg you, don't go." "You're an Eagle, sure, but I have some street dog ways and I smell danger from afar." "I have to." "What you have to do is get out of here in a flash!" "The boy already knows you'll leave, just get in the cart and go miles away." "If he wanted to give me away, the guards would be here already." "Don't you realize it's a trap?" "He already gave you away!" "What he wants now is to serve your head on a silver platter." "Listen to one thing," "I'll go to the forest." "No." "It's me who he expects." "That's why, he won't suspect a thing!" "I'll be able to get close enough to kill him." "Sátur, I won't let you do that." "But he's seen your face by my fault!" "You're not a murderer!" "I know that!" "But I'd rather have the guilt of being one than of your death." "Don't make me carry that load." "Master, for God's sake..." "Please I beg you, I know I can deal with him." "It's my problem, not yours." "Forgive me my rudeness but damn it." "You granted me my life when we met." "I'm indebted to you for it so it's my problem, too." "Sátur, I said no." "Stay here and if I'm not back before dinner... you know what you have to do." "Master, you've been set a trap, and your going to get your head into it." "Sátur, today I'm preparing dinner." "Can you help me?" "Already dinner time?" "But what time is it?" "That's funny, Sátur..." "You always say that your guts are like clockwork." "As soon as you skip a meal they start to creak." "Ah!" "What happened, Alonso?" "It's nothing, Sátur." "Don't worry." "I'm here!" "It's me!" "Come on!" "Show yourself!" "I'm here!" "Sátur!" "This is ready, it's been an hour over the fire." "An hour?" "Are you okay?" "You don't look well." "Yes, yes, I'm fine." "I'm fine, don't worry..." "Sátur!" "It's me!" "Why did you make me come?" "What do you want of me?" "I need your help." "Speak." "My daughter." "She was the best thing I had." "But the night of San Juan she was taken away." "You have to find her." "I don't understand a thing." "Why should I trust you?" "Help me, please." "Help me." "Who could have taken her?" "She went to serve at a court hunting." "On returning home she was excited." "She had met His Majesty, and he invited her to the palace." "What has the king to do in all this?" "He wanted her to be his lover, but she refused." "And, the next day..." "They took her." "You're accusing His Majesty of kidnapping." "I know what it means." "So I can only come to you." "We've done the right thing." "Right, Catalina?" "Yes, women." "Now let's pray that señora Sagrario doesn't notice anything." "You must have good eyesight because it's identical to the other one, even from behind." "I don't want to see anyone idle!" "The Duke of Izaga sent an emissary... saying he wants to see us immediately." "Come on, go." "Mother?" "Mother?" "Yes?" "What could have happened to the duke to suddenly be in such a rush?" "Not the duke, his daughter got the rush." "Ater the walk in the palace gardens, she became captivated by your charm." "Indeed it could be so, I've thought so myself." "At short distances I can be very charming." "Oh, son..." "I see you, and I can't believe you're getting married!" "I still remember it, like it was yesterday." "the day you spoke your first word:" "bacon." "I wished rather for you to say "mother", but that doesn't matter anymore." "The Duke of Izaga and daughter." "Señor Duke." "Have a seat, please." "Briefly we'll savour a delicious dinner in your company." "No, we didn't come to dinner." "Ah, you prefer to get right to the point?" "Great." "That's it, as soon as we're all here." "I don't think anybody's missing." "What is it?" "Why is it so important that I be here?" "Relax, Nuño." "Señor Duke, Sagrario." "Now that we are all here," "I am pleased to announce the marriage of my daughter Carolina de Izaga, to Nuño de Santillana and Guzman." "Master, I thought I wouldn't see you again." "Sátur, what's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "No, I've just sneezed out the last snot I had... just from worrying that I wouldn't see you again." "But I'm better now, thanks." "I'm much better and happy now you've got rid of that bastard." "I haven't killed him." "His daughter was kidnapped." "He wants me to find her." "Why did he ask you for help?" "You're nobody's babysitter." "That's what the guard is for," "Let them do it!" "That's the problem." "He believes that the king ordered them to take his daughter." "The King?" "Does that mean that you have to confront the king?" "That can not be, Master." "I must try." "The Red Eagle helps people, right?" "But what people?" "What people?" "That bastard doesn't deserve a thing." "He's just a cheap blackmailer." "He didn't say it that way." "He begged me for help." "He seems to be a good person." "What if you don't find his daughter?" "And if then he finally threatens you?" "Or even worse, you find her and he forces you to keep doing favours for him." "No Sátur." "He's lost, he doesn't know what to do." "Put yourself in his place." "Upon my word I do!" "Look, if the king, for whom I would die, did something to my wife or my son," "I'd just..." "I'd do any crazy thing." "But it would be my problem, Master, not yours." "I'll find this man's daughter." "But don't you realize?" "While someone knows who you really are... you'll never be safe, Master." "God!" "Señorito Nuño..." "You had us very worried." "Can it be that you were riding all night long?" "You know that your mother..." "My mother's not here!" "I'm alone here." "Out!" "But..." "I said go!" "Yes, sir." "This is my palace and I'm not going anywhere." "You're already a man." "This scene isn't necesary." "I won't accept being taken away from here." "It's the best thing to do." "The Duke has offered a beneficial marriage for you." "I'll be a mere consort." "I'm the Marquis of Santillana, and I already have my palace." "I won't leave it." "Is this is your bedroom, señor Marquis?" "A bed full of fleas and surrounded by cobwebs?" "The best thing for you to do is marry." "If you stay here alone, Sagrario and Jacobo... will do everything to get rid of you." "I'm not alone, you're here." "I won't be here forever." "I know, but there is still a lot of time until that." "I'll never abandon the palace where I was born." "And you're not going to force me." "Your mother gave me a power of attorney to do it when I saw fit." "But..." "Why?" "Why did she?" "Because it's the best for you, Nuño." ""Girl found dead in the woods." "Her parents fear that she was murdered by her fiance."" ""Missing girl." "Was contacted by her family after marrying a young man"." ""Missing woman in Cebreros." "Comes home after spending three days lost in the bush." "Her family spent days looking for her." "A girl tries to flee from the convent of the Order of St Clare on June 25"." "One day after the night of San Juan." "Gonzalo." " Cipri!" "I got you something to eat." "I've been listening to you all night shuffling papers about, and this will come in handy." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "Correcting your students homework?" "Yes, and preparing lessons." "I'll leave you, you're very busy and I have to clean the dung in the stables." "It's not a brain racking task like yours, but it's my chore." "Thanks for getting me out of the dungeon." "And forgive me." "I owe you this one too." "Cipri!" "Thank you for helping me take care of this family." "Tell Sátur to come, please." "He's not here, he didn't sleep at home." "What do you mean he didn't sleep at home?" "Where is he?" "No idea." "I ran into him this morning when I returned from the market, but... he didn't seem to notice me." "He walked sort of distracted, continually asking about a man." "Duke of Izaga." "Ah, doña Sagrario." "Excuse me, but I have to go..." "It's just a moment." "Sorry to address you this way but I wanted to know, why you changed your mind." "About what?" "On the wedding." "Ah, yes, okay." "I don't owe you any explanation." "If I may, I'm in a big hurry." "What do you mean you owe me no explanation?" "Me and you had a deal." "You've slammed the door in my very nose." "Your son does not have enough class to marry into my family." "My son what?" "What you heard." "There you have your explanation." "Damn sniffy you!" "Take your class and nail it up your ass!" "Oh, excuse me." "Excuse me, I got excited and couldn't stop." "But understand me, he's my son." "It's not easy to kill an innocent man." "Master, I..." "I just wanted to protect you." "I know that." "I found out where the man's daughter is." "Let's go." "Majesty." "Forgive the intrusion, but a British military man wants to see you urgently." "It is customary to ask for an audience to see the king." "Isn't this protocol customary in your country?" "Not when something is urgent, Your Majesty." "I'm Sir James Wilshore," "English army general." "I'm here to tell you that we know your intentions, to undermine our king." "Where did you get such a fallacy?" "Who has dared to insult my name?" "The Spanish, always so dramatic and tragic." "Deny it, we have evidence." "I don't know what you intend, but this outrage will not go unanswered." "We know you have a map of the itinerary of our king, and also precise orders to your spies in England." "Very clever of you to hide these documents in the back of a painting." "I don't know what picture you're talking about." "I won't keep listening you so leave, now." "My men are on their way to get that painting right now." "As soon as we get the evidence," "England will declare war on Spain." "Your Majesty." "Poor thing, having her there locked in the convent against her will, without any contact with the outside world." "So young without living her life or anything..." "Could you bring me the bottle of essences?" "I'm going to wake her." "I must admit, Master, that... making her unconscious during the rescue has been spectacular." "When she wakes up..." "Don't worry." "We'll give her a logical explanation." "Then better you do it, because explanations and logic are not my strong point." "Hey, one thing..." "God forgive me, for what I'll say is very nasty, but..." "The poor little nun looks poorly gifted as to satisfy the wishes of a king." "Of course, on account of the age of the monarch..." "I bet his bar gets lower and lower." "She's waking up." "Where am I?" "Who are you?" "Relax, we're not going to harm you." "We found you unconscious in the forest and no one was with you." "Are you okay?" "Do you need anything?" "If you tell us where you live we'll accompany you home." "I have nowhere to go." "I'm an orphan." "What do you mean orphan?" "My parents died two years ago." "My aunt forced me into the convent." "Can I drink some water?" "I'm very thirsty." "Yes." "We'll bring it right away." "I'll get the water." "Oh God, we've got the wrong girl, Master." "This isn't his daughter." "What do we do?" "Now back to fix all this." "What a grind of getting gold up and down!" "We still have to pack for the commissioner." "No, I did it this morning." "Anyway, he's taking just a bag." "I think he's not in the mood for a trip." "This morning he didn't even have breakfast." "He's sort of languid, sort of distracted." "Hand me the little cups." "You're still like this?" "Didn't I say I wanted all this clean before I returned?" "Yes, ma'am." "We'll finish right now." "I'm sorry, ma'am." "Excuse me, really, I'm..." "I'm clumsy." "Madam, please!" "Señora!" "Get out of here!" "Marta, Marta..." "Out!" "Yes Señora." "Guard your back." "Everything will work out fine." "Sorry." "Don't worry." "It's normal, you're having a hard time." "I have to go." "What are you doing here?" "Were you stealing?" "No..." "Don't tell me no, the clothes you wear are mine." "It's that..." "Don't make up excuses." "Come on, take off that dress and give it to me." "Come on!" "Margarita!" "No." "She's no thief." "Then who is she?" "She's a friend." "Ah, so she's a friend?" "Yes." "Well," "I guess I must make space in my bedroom again." "At least this one doesn't dress as a man." "Her dress got torn and you're both the same size." "You don't need to explain." "I have a lot of work and I must go to the palace." "You can keep the dress." "Sorry for the confusion." "Don't worry." "Thanks for the dress." "Do you need a ride?" "No, no." "Thank you." "I don't know where I'm going, but... any place will be better than that prison." "Freedom should be a right for everybody." "Yes, it seems it only applies to men and not women." "But I must be grateful, I fared better than others." "What do you mean?" "Has something happened to any of your companions?" "There was a girl who was locked in a tower." "They have one of you locked up?" "Where?" "She tried to escape the convent, but was held in a watchtower on Mount Nebral." "Now only Sister Mary sees her when she feeds her." "Relax." "I was sent by your father to get you." "Come on!" "No!" "Quick, he's in the tower!" "This isn't the right time to give way to melancholy." "Don't worry." "I don't fear death." "You should not lose your faith, only because of it miracles are wrought." "Irene is going to be a widow." "Praiseworthy consideration." "But don't worry about that." "My niece is very young, she'll recover." "Who knows?" "Maybe she'll find another husband." "You must go." "Not yet." "You must leave immediately." "I'll be there on time." "Wait..." "What should I wait for?" "Catalina!" "Sir?" "Has Nuño returned?" "No, sir, he went out to ride." "When he gets back tell him..." "What, sir?" "Nothing." "Come on." "What does this mean?" "They're British soldiers, eminence." "English?" "How do you tell a father that his daughter is dead?" "There's no good way to say that, master." "That father is execting you to bring his daughter, and instead his daughter is dead." "That, no father's heart can stand." "That bullet was meant for me, Sátur." "Some hero I am!" "No, no, master." "Don't go that way," "I won't consent to it." "You risked your life for that girl." "Ah." "Prepare the horse." "I'll tell him what happened." "I asked you to save her and now she's dead." "Sorry." "She wasn't free, but she was alive." "Now I can only mourn her among the dead in the ground!" "I did my best." "Don't lie!" "I know what happened." "They brought my daughter's body." "You'll pay for it." "I gave you up." "One of those men is heading for the dungeons with a letter... in which I tell everything." "When he reaches there, justice will take care of you." "No!" "They were British soldiers." "I thought they had discovered the switch." "Well, that's it, it's over." "I don't understand what they were looking for in the painting." "Even the English were looking for it." "I don't know," "I just hope we don't get connected to it." "I won't touch that Rubens even with forceps." "Leave us." "If they were to discover those documents, the war between Spain and England would be a fact, Commissioner." "What could have happened?" "I'm as confused as you are." "I don't understand what could have happened or who has these documents." "I'll find them." "Commissioner, if you get someone to investigate, it could raise suspicions about you or me." "Best you do it alone and unnoticed." "I'm not so foolish, Eminence." "I remind you that my life is in danger, too." "Next time consult me before sending me to a certain death." "Next time I'll do what I think is best, commissioner." "Eminence." "I think I have something that belongs to you." "How did you find them?" "It was a fluke." "I was alone in the room, angry at having to marry and leave for the palace of Izaga." "So I approached the painting." "Have you read them?" "That was a suicide mission, that's why you wanted me to marry the noble girl, so not to leave me on my own." "Under no circumstances, comment on these documents to anyone." "I know that, but I want something in return:" "not to marry the daughter of the Duke of Izaga." "You are a worthy son of your mother." "I'll Cancel that mariage." "Mother, what are you doing?" "Mother, I've been looking everywhere for you." "Some British Soldiers stormed the palace looking for the painting." "I thought we'd been discovered." "Some soldiers?" "What did they want with the painting?" "I don't know, I was out buying some candy, but... it seems they thought the painting was hiding something." "In the end they found nothing." "If even the English crown is interested in it, it must be valuable." "They didn't found a thing." "Because what they seek is here, in the original, not in the copy they saw." "Come on, help me." "Open it, open it." "Pull." "Let's see..." "But what is this?" "There's nothing in it!" "There's nothing here!" "At least we have the picture which is a genuine Rubens." "Less provides a chestnut." "No!" "No, no, no." "This isn't the original." "When I bought the copy they told me they'd write a sign... behind the canvas." "Why is the counterfeit here?" "We ourselves brought it down!" "I don't know why it's here!" "I don't know!" "I don't know!" "I don't know!" "Calm down, mother, please." "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone." "We should have rested a bit before returning here." "Sátur, have you properly locked the entrance?" "Yes, master, yes." "This time I did." "If you'd condescend to explain what we're looking for, maybe I could be of some use and not go drifting from here to there without any sense." ""Semper fidelis"." "What?" "Always stuck-up." "No, you don't have to swear, these people certainly look so stuck-up..." "No Sátur. "Semper Fidelis," Latin for always faithful." "It is an oath of eternal loyalty to the order." "And so eternal!" "Since they have left their whole life here." "Sátur, watch out!" "Forgive me, master." "I don't know what's wrong with me lately," "I'm more dangerous using a torch than a monkey with a musket." "Here's something, Sátur." "What?" ""Everything that moves is moved by another."" "This is an enigma," "I have to find out what it means." "Another puzzle?" "Oh God, we have entered a loop." "We're like dogs that chase their tails, there again and again until they get dizzy and fall down exhausted." "Turning round and round and round, and turning round endlessly." "Burned trees, giant footprints..." "What we lacked: a dragon!" "Nobody calls my wife an adulteress." "I demand to clear my honour in a duel." "For me a kiss is important, Irene." "It's not normal for a father to embark his daughter on such trips." "That a teacher has been to India, either." "Help, please!" "Master!" "Do we have enough money to declare war on England?" "That bracelet implicates me." "They can lead you to the gallows." "I'm going to get that bracelet back." "If my time has come," "I prefer to be remembered for my bravery, and not for my sins." "Sorry, but I can't forget." "Is something wrong?"
