"Sátur, I lost my mother, but I'll find my father." "The most beautiful woman in the kingdom will be chosen, she will be rewarded with a lavish dress" "and a trip to France." "The diplomacy is over." "When the bearer of the garment pays obeisance to the French Prime Minister, an explosion will destroy everything." "If the problem is that there are no Spanish women in the Americas..." "We will send them." "They are carried thousands of miles from home." "And treated as slaves." " Do not touch him!" "Forgive the misunderstanding, Monsignor." "When did this happen?" "Last night." "It is clear that one of them killed him." "Oh yeah?" "How?" "We were all tied." "I will win that contest." "If you win you will be sent to France and you've just come home." "No doubt you've missed me." "These women do not deserve to be taken." "And why do not we take up swords, their parents, all of us?" "You're still very weak." "You think so?" "Yes." "My name is Adrian Vega." "Can you understand me?" "Don't talk to me like that, I'm not crazy." "Carmen!" "It's my niece!" "I'm here to enter the contest, for the most beautiful woman in the kingdom." "Wait." " Do not touch me!" "You talk about dialogue because you are afraid." "I'm sorry if I disappoint you." "Here is the tower of Solitude." "The women are going there." "Still alive?" "Why is he here?" " Survival." "No, no, no!" " What will happen to her?" "Do you know where they get hair for noble's hairpieces?" "This is the most humiliating thing I have done since I entered your service." "You're the best suited to camouflage well among them." "Ha!" ", now you rub salt in the wound." "I have a trick to remove signs of exhaustion." "I'm Satur García and I've come to rescue you." "Strip!" "Mercy!" "Cut it flush with the skull." "Let her go, I want her for me." "I want her perfect." "Ah!" "Do not hurt me!" "I'm here to help." "We've been looking all night." "Perhaps Alonso has returned home by now." "And if it isn't so, I know that you are not much for hitting, but I'd slap his face until it looks like bread dough." "I know my son." "The letter made his intentions clear." "Maybe he got lost, you can't tell." "Boys nowadays are a bit reckless." "Where are you, Alonso?" "Where?" "Have you seen something, Master?" "There's blood here." "And here there are signs of struggle." "It may not be Alonsillo's." "Maybe the guards encountered bandits." "This doesn't belong to Alonso." "It's Gabi's." "It's Gabi's?" "Are you sure?" "Certainly yes, I gave it to him myself." "It's full of blood." "Sátur." "It's not them, Sátur." "Not them." "It doesn't matter, Master," "They're dead anyway." "Why do you say that?" "Because you know as well as I that there is no hope." "A guard would not leave anyone who killed his companions alive." "I beg your pardon, Majesty." "I thought you'd be alone." "The sultan of Morocco has always had a taste for gifts..." "Is there any news of our shipment to France?" "I came precisely to inform you of this." "Everything follows the established plan." "Next week they will spend the night at the inn." "Majesty." "What is it, Your Majesty?" "The Queen has a lover." "That is a very serious statement, sir." "Does the document state who it is?" "One of the generals of my own army." "Gaspar Téllez," "Duke of Uceda." "Last night they were spotted at an inn outside Madrid." "Perhaps the visit was of another nature, sir." "What else could it be?" "I'll be the laughingstock of the kingdom!" "I'm going to kill him." "You can not end the life of a war hero like that." "You would set the people against you." "He has to die." "Of course, Your Majesty, but we must be more careful." "We'll organize a competition attended by the best riders of the kingdom." "Of course, the Duke of Uceda will be invited." "Now you want to give him an award." "Yes, Your Majesty an award at the height of his betrayal." "The Duke will not leave that challenge alive." "From now on, I'll have breakfast in a convent." "The nuns with their vow of silence make better conversation." "We're not here to entertain you." "But if you are interested, I am going to attend the horse race organized by the King." "Dear, will you join me?" "Of course." "It is expected that you are invited, being one of the best riders of the town." "You were always a great rider," "However I think lately you've neglected training." "I'll also participate." "No way, you're injured." "Has it affected your head?" "You can barely move..." "It's my choice!" "I know what I'm doing." "Nuño, you are not able." "Don't interfere." "I forbid it." "You can not." "I'm your mother and you will obey." "What's happening here?" "We'll see." " I won't tell you again." "Lady..." "Shut up." "Nuño Nuño...!" "Don't ever leave me with the last word, Nuño!" "Lady, a royal footman wants to talk to you." "Well?" "The Queen wants to see you urgently." "The Queen?" "I'll accompany you." "We need more weapons." "We don't know how many guards we face." "We have to find them." "Sátur, there's no time to lose!" "It will be useless, the children are already dead." "Not until we find their corpses." "And what about the shoe?" "It's a shoe, not a body." "The blood may be from a wound, come!" "No." "That's not what happened." "They're dead." "And all for defying God." "What has God to do with this?" "If you had not sought the successor of Christ..." "But Gonzalo de Montalvo has to know the truth." "You and that damned truth of yours." "This has nothing to do with God." "Everything in life has to do with the Almighty." "You've pissed Him off and His anger has fallen on our children." "Things do not happen because a god is angry." "There, you keep on blaspheming." "You deny it because here there is another truth that you do not want to hear." "I will not waste time discussing it." "You are afraid to hear the truth, but I'm going to say it." "Your son and mine are dead, because of you;" "It's your fucking fault." "Do you hear me?" "Dead." "I have to go to look for them." "Wait here." "Beautiful, isn't it?" " Majesty." "Such an instrument can emerge only from the mind of a man." "Have you seen it before?" " Yes..." "I saw an engraving." "Then you already know how it works." "When these doors are closed, the spikes dig into your body." "But you do not die immediately, you writhe in pain for days." "But I have not summoned you to talk about horrible things." "I have a favor to ask." " Of course, whatever you want.]" "The King mistakenly thinks I have a lover." "I want to dissipate any doubts about my honesty." "I do not know how I can help you in this matter." "I do." "You must sleep with the Duke of Uceda." "So the King is reassured." " It is not an agreeable order." "You'll get over it." "I am sure that he has loyal handmaidens who could do the job better." "Not one with your popularity throughout the kingdom." "I want a public scandal." "I beg your pardon?" "You will do it in the place that I tell you." "I will do no such thing." "Sure you will." "Nobody wants to have a Queen as an enemy." "Majesty, I beg you." "There are other ways to do it." "None so effective." "You must hurry," "Your lover is waiting." "Majesty." "If you are going to follow me, stand beside me." "There you are an easy target." "Did you find anything?" "No." "No tracks of carts or anything." "They went in another direction." "Surely they were alerted when we rescued the women from the tower." "What will you do now?" " Keep looking." "It is impossible to follow all paths." "It would take you months." "Do you still think they're dead?" "I still think everything I said." "Then why are you here?" " Because I need to see them." "Everything else does not matter to me." "I need to see them, even if they are dead." "Me too." "They are going to execute them." "Look, master." "Maybe they caught them..." "It's them, Master, I'm sure." " Sátur, Sátur..." "That's my Gabi." "That's him." "Ah!" "Ah!" "Come on, come on!" "You can go, go on." "Help..." "Master!" "Master!" "Quiet!" "Do you remember me?" "I'm Gonzalo de Montalvo." "You're in my house, quiet." "What happened to me?" "I found you in the forest." "It is very important that you help us." "How did you get to the road?" "Were there any kids with you?" "One had long hair, brown and the other was shorter." "They're called Alonso and Gabi." " No, no..." "There was a fight and shooting..." "I don't know, it all happened so fast." "Are they alive?" " They hurt one, the small one." "Gabi..." "Gabi... she's talking about my Gabi, Master." "There was a lot of blood." "Where were they taking you?" "I do not know, I want to go home, please..." "It's very important that you remember." "Their lives depend on it." "My son is bleeding!" " Sátur!" "It's not her fault." "You're right, Master, I don't know what came over me." "Easy." "We stopped in a clearing." "What was it like?" "Was there anything that you remember?" "Yes, there was - like a cross and a guard said it was" "Weeping Cross." "I know where it is." "Do you think we'll be in time?" "There's only one way to find out." "Well?" "Any news about Archbishop Adrian?" "He left the palace in the early hours of the morning." "And where did he go?" "We do not know." "We lost him in the forest." "Useless!" "Useless!" "You are useless!" "Is everything ready?" " Majesty!" "Excuse me, sir, you have come ahead of schedule." "Eh..." "Luis." "Yes, sir, the Duke of Uceda has confirmed his attendance at the race." "What I want is to know is how he is going to die." "We have prepared a trap on the edge of the road." "And one of my men, in the heat of the race, will push him." "A fall?" "I had hoped for more... sophistication." "Oh, take heart, sir, the horror that awaits in there is hardly describable." "Ah, yes?" "I'll show you." "Luis!" "We will leave him several days without food." "Thus he will learn to behave more faithfully." "When the duke falls in the pit he will have no chance." "What are you doing here?" " I guess the same as you," "I reconnoitre where the race will be." "It was one of your first lessons." "My first lesson was to not risk your life if it is not necessary." "Does your mother know you're here?" "I don't need permission from my mother or yourself." "True, you're old enough to make your own decisions." "It's a pity they are so stupid." "Insulting me will not convince me." "I see nothing will change your mind." "The wound is bleeding." "Don't touch me!" "If you don't change the bandage, the wound will fester." "I'll do it back in the palace." " What's gotten into you?" "Nothing." " Have you forgotten who I am?" "I know you better than anyone, you can not fool me." "You treat me as if you hate me, like a rival." "For now, you are." "I'm going to win that race." "This cannot all be about this stupid race." "There is something more and you are going to tell me." "Commissioner!" "The Marquise." "If it wasn't that I know that I would die of hunger," "I would leave here right now." "Praise the Lord!" "Fucking in the house of God." "She was found astride the Duke." "Like a bitch in heat." " Say that again!" "Repeat what you said!" "Lord Commissioner..." " Hernán!" "I've told you not to bother the servants." "Leave us alone." "Is it true?" "Is what true?" "I'm not very good at puzzles." "That you were found coupling inside a church." "That's none of your business." "What's the matter?" "Could not you have waited to find a bed?" "I found the right man at the right time." "Harlots tell me the same when I take them to jail." "You've lost respect for everything." "The church is a sacred place and you've taken it for a brothel." "This is the place." "But they are gone!" "We must find the tracks of the cart." "Please, Lord, return them to us healthy and safe." "They have been burned, Master." "They have burned them." "They have burned them." "They have burned our kids." "A client gave this to you?" "No, Father, they just appeared by themselves." "Have you tried to treat them?" "Yes, but they came back." "What will happen to me, Father?" "No one wants to be with me so I'll starve." "We didn't have to have come, but she is so stubborn... she'd rather be dead than "hiding."" "Everything out of pride." "Fresh news makes a sensation." "No, this will not be forgotten for years." "Lady, wouldn't it be better to buy fabrics another day?" "I can bring them to the palace." "Do you think I should hide like a rat?" "Is that so?" "That's the last time you'll insinuate anything; get away." "Open!" "No!" "Lady!" "Leave me!" "Leave me!" "Lady!" "Bitch!" "Whore!" "Let me through!" "Out!" "Death to the witch!" "Witch!" "Let's go, to your homes!" " Into the fire with her!" "Do you know what I think?" "It was dark and you thought you saw the Marquise, but it was not her." "You're asking me to lie?" " Yes, that's right." "But you can clear your conscience with pious works." "I will not lie, what this woman did was a mortal sin, it is the House of God." "Is amazing that something so small can cause so much damage." "I'm not afraid, Commissioner." "I have reached an age and am prepared to die." "I answer only to God." "Go ahead, I'm ready, you can kill me." "But justice will be done." "Leave." "Hey!" "Haven't you heard the screams?" "They just attacked the Marquise." "They have left her naked." "How awful." "What?" "Gonzalo, can you hear me?" "Why don't you answer?" "What's the matter?" "Gonzalo..." "Are you okay?" "And Sátur and Alonso?" "You're scaring me , Do you want to talk?" "Talk to me, you're scaring me!" "What's up?" "What?" "Sátur?" "Sátur?" "What's happened?" "Tell me, what happened?" "Sátur, tell me what happened!" "What?" "I don't understand why you're wasting time getting dressed;" "With clothes on, you must feel uncomfortable." "Hernán, if you like watching, your wife is two doors away." "Go to her and leave me alone." "I just came by in case you needed anything." "I saw you entering the palace naked and it surprised me, even for you." "Some men stripped me naked in the middle of the street." "Do you think I'm in the mood for jokes?" "After showing your charms before God, this must seem a pittance." "I'm the Marquise de Santillana, I'm untouchable." "I want you to find these men and tear their skin to shreds." "I want their bodies to decorate the doors of the villa." "Lady, you can not enter!" "I'm sorry, ma'am." " I am the Duchess of Uceda." "The wife of your lover." "I know exactly who you are." "How dare you break into my palace?" "Your reputation in the court is doing you justice, Marquise." "You are a slut, a cheap tart." "You shattered my life." "Your husband has collaborated very much in this, lady." "And passionately." "And now, unless you have any more complaints ..." "I just came... to tell you that you can stop looking for those responsible for what happened." "It was my idea." "A small token of gratitude." "Yours?" "Now you know as well as I how it feels to be sullied, naked before the eyes of the people." "Enough!" "Enough is enough!" "Cipri, what are you doing here?" "What's up?" "Cheer up, Sátur." "Courage." "Alonso..." "Alonso..." "Why?" "Why did you do this to me?" "Why me?" "Sátur!" "Sátur!" "Sátur!" "No, Master!" "Do not do it!" "Do not." "But, what were you going to do?" "Eh?" "What the fuck were you going to do?" "I think you know." "Well I will not let you do it, I will not let you." "Can you hear me?" "You can not give up now." "Sátur, leave me alone." "But, don't you see?" "You are..." "You are the brave one, the hero." "You can't leave the scene without fighting." "First it was Cristina, now Alonso." "Now I have nothing left to lose." "Nothing worthwhile." "Or me, Master." "Nor me." "But that is not the solution, believe me." "Everything I was, was buried last night with Alonso." "I do not want a life without him." "They, Master... our children would want us to continue living." "That we struggle to overcome this." "I can not." "I can not." "Well if you want to kill yourself... you'll have to kill me first." "Okay, Sátur." "Either way, death will find me." "What are you talking about?" "Tomorrow I will depart." "We won't see each other again, Sátur." "No." "Master, God, you can not leave me alone now." "I just want to leave." "And die far from here." "In the end, of the two of us, maybe you're the hero." "Are you sure that you have what you say you have?" "I won't ask what's happening here, Lucrecia." "You're on the verge of insanity." " You can leave." "Ay!" "Hernán, dear, why not rattle chains?" "Since you court me like a ghost, at least that way I'll hear you coming." "What do you want with this boy?" "You don't mix with the rabble if you can't get some profit out of it." "The Duchess of Uceda seeks a groom for her favorite palfrey." "Have you seen the body of this boy?" "The Duchess will not only want to ride her horse after seeing him." "What do you mean by this?" "I'll explain it like you're a child, Hernán." "Young boy suffers from the French disease, young boy romps with Duchess, the Duchess becomes infected." "This disease gives terrible fevers, the hair falls out." "Your revenge is out of proportion." "That harpy humiliated me in public." "What do I care about proportion." "Lady, a footman brought this letter from the archbishop for you." "Bad news?" "They want to excommunicate me." "How I can prevent it?" "It's an ecclesiastical order, you can not." "There has to be some way to stop it." "What you did in that church is very serious." "I will make donations, there is nothing that money can not solve." "It's not a matter of ducats, but of faith." "You have sullied the symbols of Christianity." "Forget the sermon." "Do you know what it will mean if I am excommunicated?" "You only think of yourself." "Do you know what it will mean for Nuño?" "Did you think before lifting up your skirts?" "Now accept the consequences." "I was trying to put some order in all this." "It has not even been a day and you are already removing my son's things." "I was trying to spare you doing it yourself." "I'm sorry." "Margarita..." "Sorry." "I came to tell you that I'm leaving." "Where are you going?" "Far, Margarita." "Where every corner... does not remind me of Alonso." "What about me, Gonzalo?" "You can not leave me alone now." "You can not." "You can not." "No..." "I am a man of the world, I've seen everything." "But in a confessional..." "In addition to being a grave sin, it must have been quite uncomfortable." "There is no scandal that can not be silenced." "Not this." "You know that we had to burn the confessional?" "None of my faithful wanted to approach within 20 paces." "Since when do you pay attention to the rabble?" "Since their faith gives me all the luxury that you see." "The same faith that will give Lucrecia martyrdom according to her sin." "Martyrdom?" "Isn't excommunication enough?" "On the recommendation of the archbishops and order of the Inquisition, the Marquise de Santillana has been sentenced to wear a chastity belt." "Lust has its price, Commissioner;" "The people will be satisfied with this decision." "No." "No need to saddle the other horse." "One is enough." "And how will I go?" "Walk?" "Do not look so, Master." "I plan to go where you go." "No." "It's time that our paths separate." "I have made an oath as a squire and as a right hand man" "I will not abandon you at the most difficult moment of your life." "Sátur, look at you." "You are going through the same thing and only worry about me." "You're free." "My decisions no longer affect you." " No, no!" "No, master, it does not work that way." "The ties don't... don't disappear this way, when you feel like it." "And now more than ever." "Together we have lost our children." "And together we will go to the end." "Sátur, I am going to look for death." "I'll embark to fight in any war." "All the more reason to go with you." "To find that death so long sought later rather than sooner." "No, Sátur it's dangerous." "And you want to live." "You're not coming and there's nothing more to talk about." "Yes, we must speak." "I will not let you pass that door alone." "I'll go with you." "And I will put myself in front of the bullet of a musket, of a cannon, to save your life." "By my eggs I'm going to do this." "No." "Sátur!" ""No Sátur" my foot!" "I won't leave you alone." "Because more than your squire..." "I am your friend." "And I will not allow you to die." "I will not allow it." "Good choice, you look devout." "Just what we need right now." "Cardinal Mendoza always liked this dress." "He'll be happy to give me another chance as a parishioner." "I've come from talking with him, Lucrecia." "You can not do any more." "Don't underestimate me, Hernán." "I did not rise to Marquise from maid for my skills in the kitchen." "I know." "And it's those virtues that have brought you condemnation." "I know that they will excommunicate me, it's not necessary that you remind me." "You don't know everything, Lucrecia." "The church has decided to make an example of you." "Example, how?" "Speak, Hernán." "Will they take away my Palace?" "My land?" "They intend for you to wear a chastity belt." "It must be made public in the court of the Inquisition." "I'm sorry, Lucrecia." "This afternoon they will come to carry out your sentence." "How long will I have to wear it?" "They intend you to wear it for the rest of your days." "Leave me alone." "Drink a little." "You are going to drink and later you are going to eat." "Yes you will, and then a bath.." "And when you are ready we are going to pick up all of this, we two together." "Alonso is dead and everyone is gone." "Leave me, please." "Yes, Alonso has died, but you're still here and so am I." "If you fall, I'll be there to lift you." "Why are you doing this, Cipri?" "Because..." "When was I was doomed, this family saved me." "And I will not leave you now." "If you do not want to eat, do not eat." "But I'll be here giving you this dish every day." "I will not allow you to leave too." ""Come on, go on." "Take a mug of warm milk." "Come on, dad, we'll be late." "I haven't put on the jerkin that mother made for me for nothing." "I will not let my mother come back..." " Hush!" "Father." "Where do you think you're going?" "Up, take it to the cart" "Did you hear that?" "Aren't you going to do anything- That's an injustice?" "I'm not the Red Eagle anymore." "Sátur, go." "No, Master." "Why are you going to meet death so far away." "If you want to die, at least do it defending your own people." "What is it that you have not understood?" "I said get out of my way." "Now.." "In the end your son was right." "You are a coward." "A fucking coward." "Wait there." "I brought this with me." "Your sword and your suit." "Take this lie with you." "Take it." " "After what happened between the Duke of Uceda and the Marquise de Santillana, postpone the horse race until further orders." "Perhaps we should make sure of the true nature of the meeting between the Queen and the Duke."" "I have traveled the dunes of the Sahara" "I've seen the sunrise in the Rif, but never found anything as splendid as you in that land." "Retire." "Majesty." "You have to help me, please." "If you've come for my clemency, you're wasting your time, Lucrecia." "I won't intercede with the Church when the punishment is fair." "The scandal for which i am condemned, Majesty, was not my idea." "Speak." "It was... was your wife, the Queen, who suggested I do it." "She did not want you... that you should discover" "the Duke of Uceda was actually her lover." "The Queen of all Spain has no lovers!" "How dare you?" " Majesty..." "I swear I'm telling the truth." "I command you to stop sullying the name of your Queen." "Go away, now." "Majesty." "Pardon!" "Forgive me!" "Bring him." "Where are you taking him?" "The slave buyers will not give us anything for him." "No, he's still alive!" " Get rid of them..." "He's alive, please!" "He's alive!" "Gabi!" "He's alive!" "Gabi!" "Gabi!" "Gabi!" "Gabi!" "Gabi..." "Are you okay?" "In the last two days I've been called harlot slut, whore..." "Go ahead, son, I think i can withstand what you have to say." "I came to see how you are." "I am not one to judge." "You're innocent, fair good..." "You do not take after me, son." "We are more alike than you think, mother." "Nuño, get out." "Have they arrived?" " They will soon." "The Marquise de Santillana I have always known always converts difficulty into an opportunity." "Forget the success stories." "How would you feel if you were castrated?" "That is what they will do with me." "I just wanted to say that you'll still be alive." "And what am I going to do?" "I won't find it fun sitting at a spinning wheel." "The most gallant men have passed between my sheets and I have enjoyed them." "I don't want your pity." "If you need anything, I'll be outside." "Hernán... last time." "Lucrecia Guzman," "Marquise de Santillana?" "Leave her." "Aunt..." "Alonso!" "Alonso!" "My God, you're alive!" "You're alive, it can not be!" "You'd better go in." "You have so much to talk about." "Look;" "I've been given sticks in this life, but this intense suffering we've gone through;" "the fact is that it has no name." "Sátur... thank you." "Thanks for what?" "You made me go back." "Otherwise they'd really be dead and it would have been my fault." "It was a really tough matter, Master." "We have shed enough tears to make a little flood." "There is no worse thing than to lose a child." "Fucking shit!" "Sátur, what are you doing?" "I have pain in my..." "Even my thoughts are in pain." "I don't even know what I'm doing." "Sátur; who do you think the charred corpses were?" "Some kids less fortunate than ours." "Where you going now?" "To get candles, handfulls of them," "I'll build an altar to the Lord Jesus Christ better than the Cathedral of Sigüenza and the Burgos together." "Master!" "You're not human, it's four in the morning." "What are you doing here burning the midnight oil?" "I could not sleep, Sátur." "As I was lying in the cot a nice image has come to me, Master" "Imagine: the whole family, including Cipriano, travelling all the way to Santiago de Compostela." "Sátur, I will not make any pilgrimage." "Something must be done." "The kids are alive thanks to the Almighty." "I have looked at records of birth, death ... There is nothing." "As if the people who appear here had never existed." "No, master, no, don't stress me again with that stuff about our Lord and his kids." "Sátur, my family is related to this list," "I can not put it aside." "I propose thanksgiving and you start with this heresy!" "Sátur!" "I'm sorry, Master!" "Forgiveness." "I'm sorry, did I stain a name?" "It's the symbol of the Black Gate." "What gate?" "Speak in Christian." "Sátur, this is the symbol of the Black Gate." "According to legend, it leads to a cemetery of books." "Can books die, or what?" "Behind that gate are works that hide the secrets of mankind." "Slow down, Master, we do not have enough clues, and there are loads of gates." "The door being black doesn't help narrow down the search." "No one has seen that gate and no one knows where it is." "But you know what?" "We'll be the first ones to find it." "These are human teeth." "Lucrecia, you've been through worse." " There is nothing worse than this." "Ah!" "I know you." "I came to offer my services." "I am the best at making laughter." "At your feet, Lady." " Out!" "Has there been White Smoke and I have not heard?" "I have to find out who did this." "What will they do to her?" "The Duke of Uceda will not survive this race." "How dare you?" "Do you forget that you are under my roof?" "What are you doing?" " I want to know how you are." "Try falling in love every day, it's the key to any marriage."
