"Look, she took me by surprise, otherwise..." "Surprise my foot!" "I've seen you dodging bullets." "A diamond was stolen from the Englishmen, it turns out to be the largest raw diamond ever found, and it was stolen by a Spaniard, the Earl of Montano." "Got you." "He carries something that will benefit both of us," "I'm sure you'll find it and save it until my arrival." "What are you hiding?" ""Balneum fide", The bath of faith." "Do you know where the treasure is?" "The Bath of Faith... were some old Roman hot baths from the third century AC." "What have you hanging on that cord?" "Holy Virgin." "This is disgusting." "Last night, the kiss..." "Mariana, don't worry, you miss your husband and..." "you felt alone, it's nothing." "Gonzalo, I didn't kiss you because I felt alone." "This is the area, but surely they build this castle on top of the Bath of Faith." "So the thermal spring is down there?" "Probably." "Then let's dig, right?" "It's too dangerous, once inside it could all collapse on top of us." "You've left me, your mistress, in shame." "Have you forgotten who your loyalty is to?" "It's the Marquise!" "She's holding his willy." "An amusing morning you've had, Lucrecia." "What are you hiding there, commoner?" "Nothing." "This is just gossip, Hernán, you know how the poor people of the village are." "My information comes from the queen, No one doubts her word." "Are you aware of the consequences all of this can bring?" "Oh, God." "Your presence is not welcome in the palace." "My hand..." "I picked up a vest to shake the dust out and it exploded in my hands." "Damn black!" "Off with you!" "Oh, my God, sir." "You and I are not related, you have no obligation to take care of me." "Don't get up yet, you'll get dizzy." "Don't touch me." "No, let go of me, let go." "Where is the slave?" "He ran off." "Tell me where he is." "Sátur, if we don't hide him he'll be captured." "What are you doing?" "Hands off!" "His slave has the diamond of the English men." "Shit!" "Here, the precious stone." "You saved your head, but your son's not talking to you and your reputation's in tatters." "There seems to be a symbol here." "Watch out, Master." "I still have the creeps, Master." "Because fighting the beast on the ground takes some style, but if the beast can swim we're no longer even, right?" "It's hot, isn't it?" "Well, not so much, for the time of year we're still getting a fresh breeze." "But of course, with so warm a suit you wear... and moving around like a hero..." "You're sweating profusely." "Holy cow, the mess your leg is in!" "You must see a doctor, come on." "No, it's nothing." "Nothing?" "That's no joke, it may well have been there for centuries." "Sátur, we just have to grab..." "some rosemary and chamomile." "You need to see a doctor immediately." "Sátur... that will heal the wound, don't worry." "You think that a few herbs will cure you?" "Where did you learn that, from the Chinese?" "No... from my stepfather." "Your... stepfather..." "He's the one who taught me." "It's funny, Sátur, everything you see while you're a child stays with you for life." "You're right there, because when I was small..." "I only saw misery and poverty, and see how I stayed." "Come on, let's look for it." "Look, here." "Will this be enough, master?" "Huh?" "No need to strip the whole forest." "Sátur, help me." "Grab there." "Careful." "It belongs to a child." "Sátur..." "Sátur, are you okay?" "Sátur..." "Sátur!" "Sátur, look at me." "Señora, I think we should get back to the carriage." "Nobody asked you, and make this the last time you dare to tell me what to do." "Yes, ma'am." "There was no need for you to accompany me," "I can go to school by myself." "Señora, I don't wish to meddle but... it's still very recent." "Then don't meddle." "Now you're scared of a few commoners?" "I won't hide." "Look at them." "Look at their clothes, we are much better than them." "Why are you doing this, mother?" "We're the laughing stock of the town." "Listen, son, never be ashamed of who you are." "Raise your head and smile, so they realize how happy we are." "You still smell of black." "What did you say?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Nuno, come on." "Take back what you said." "If you want to try it with anyone, just ask, Marquise." "All together, or one at a time, as you prefer." "Nuno." "Señora, please." "Guards, Guards!" "Help, please." "What good is your title now, marquis?" "Help!" "Guards." "Does anyone else have a problem?" "Go back to the palace." "Come on, son." "Señora." "Are you feeling better?" "What happened to me, master?" "You fainted while looking at the skeleton." "Yes, yes, I remember." "Don't worry, maybe you just got sick." "Here." "From the size of the skeleton you can tell it was a child, of about five or six years old." "I'm sorry, Master, excuse me, but..." "I still don't feel too well." "Let's see..." "You don't seem to have a fever." "I'll fix you something to eat." "Sátur, we have to find out who that child was... and why he was there." "Huh?" "And why must you find out anything?" "What do you mean by why?" "For mysteries we have the one about your mother and that's enough, and maybe what you think is a mystery, maybe... it's not." "Sátur, they put him in a hole," "I want to know what happened." "I don't understand you." "We can't help him anymore, the poor thing is dead." "Master, we'd better not stick our noses where we can't help." "I don't care how long ago it was, you can be sure I'll find out." "It's a child's, by the skeletons size you can tell it was a child... of about five or six years old." "Sátur, Sátur..." "Sátur?" ", What's wrong?" "Sátur..." "Are you okay?" "Sorry, master." "Yes, I'll clean it." "It's no problem, Sátur." "You should be working, your town is a pigsty of bastards." "When you provoke the mob it becomes uncontrollable, you should know that." "Now walking is a provocation?" "Displaying yourself as you did, it is." "I don't care what you do, Lucrecia, but... with your games you risked Nuno's life." "Those savages are to blame, I'd never endanger my son." "Don't pretend with me, Lucrecia, as much as you wear your finery to be in the palace, things will not change." "And what should I do, according to you?" "Some time at the countryside would do you well." "Until things settle down." "I don't want them to forget me, quite the contrary." "Señora." "Yes?" "Marquise of Santillana," "I've heard many times of your beauty, nothing like seeing it face to face." "Please, call me Lucrecia." "This is Hernán Mejias, the town Commissioner." "Pleased to meet you, I'm Rafael..." "The best bullfighter in Spain," "I'm a big fan of bullfights but I didn't notice one announced in town." "To what do we owe the honour of your visit?" "I invited him, he'll stay for a few days in the palace." "Señora, I've brought more sweets." "Sorry, ma'am, it was an accident." "Relax, relax, even the best bullfighter sometimes wrongs the bull." "What do you do with the wronged bulls, Rafael, slaughter them?" "I think I must to do the same thing in the palace." "Let me show you the stables," "I just bought some beautiful stallions," "Will you join us, Hernan?" "I can't, I have a lot of work to do." "Then let's go." "Murder." "Yes, Hamlet, the most infamous, horrendous and monstrous." "If you really are the ghost of my father, tell me who it was, so that with wings as swift as imagination, revenge gets done." "Very good, let's stop here." "But... then who was it who killed Hamlet's father?" "Go back to your seat." "This is precisely your homework for tomorrow, to finish reading this fragment of Shakespeare's work." "But..." "But father, why does the ghost appear to him?" "Because the past always comes back, son." "If you've committed any injustice, this never goes unpunished." "This is what personifies the ghost of Hamlet." "You can go home, and remember, read it." "Sátur..." "Master." "Cipriano told me you wanted to speak to me urgently." "Yes, I returned to the forest and I took the skeleton of the child, it's in the hideout," "I also found this, the emblem of the town orphanage, the same one you were in." "Damn, Master, there..." "children died daily, from starvation, leprosy, cholera." "But not locked in a hole." "Please, master," "I've tried to forget that my whole life, don't make me go through this again." "We're going to talk to the nuns, perhaps they remember something." "No." "I already had to go there once, and it stired up everything inside me, I won't go back again." "Sátur, nobody cared about that child." "we have the opportunity to do justice." "Nobody cared about me, master." "I beg you..." "I beg you please... forget it, do it for me." "I understand you're very affected by this, but..." "I can't let it go." "If you start investigating what what happened in that orphanage... you'll bring up all the horror we lived in there." "So, Rafael Valverde, the bullfighter, is really here upstairs?" "He certainly is, as sure as you and I are talking here right now." "And how is he face to face?" "Is he handsome?" "Handsome?" "And manly and gallant, he's a real man." "He fixed me with those big eyes and left me rooted to the spot." "She even dropped the tray, such a mess she made." "Hey, Margarita, what are you doing here?" "You should to be at home, go home to rest, you're in no shape to work." "No, I'll stay, I can't afford to lose this job," "I have nothing else." "Have you seen him, have you met him?" "Who, the bullfighter?" "No." "Is he all he's cracked up to be?" "Just on what Catalina told me I'm shaking." "Oh, really?" "Lots of people visit the palace... but, I tell you that seeing this man close up, makes you faint, he really does." "Then get in line, they say that even the queen pines for him." "He waits for the woman in his life, to fall in love..." "then he'll marry and have children." "Look." "I read it in the news." "Well, daughter, he certainly won't be short of candidates." "I remember once I went to one of his bullfights with my cousin Paca, well... if you had seen the man in his bullfighter costume, with his manhood placed, there securely in place..." "Catalina, these girls are virgins." "Oh, God, it's true, forgive me..." "No, go on, don't leave us wondering." "Well... well this man in the middle of the bullring in bullfighter dress, the bull comes out, but a real bull." "It moves this way, almost brushing his whole manhood... and that manhood there in its right place doesn't wiggle an inch," "Well, the screams of the girls were heard throughout the town." "They began to throw carnations to him when he finished, they didn't throw other things out of decency, so..." "Catalina, may I be the one to serve him, please?" "Marta, that's impossible, by God." "No, I do it for your sake, such a man will be on your mind for life, and even more because you're you, I say." "Hey, don't you smell something burning?" "Well, it may be you who's burning." "I..." "Oh, shit, the stew..." "for the Marquise." "Damn!" "Burned, spoiled." "Tomas, Tomas..." "Tomas." "Tomas." "Tomas." "Tomas." "Tomas!" "Tomas." "Tomas, Tomas." "Tomas!" "Thomas." "Tomas." "Tomas." "Tomas!" "Tomas, Tomas..." "You're sure you haven't seen him, Sátur?" "We must go back to the orphanage," "It's about sunset." "No..." "I must find my brother." "Tomas!" "We've looked everywhere." "Maybe he ran away, many do it." "He'd never leave without me." "Besides, we were about to be adopted." "Why would he run away?" "Tomas..." "Tomas!" "Sátur, Sátur." "You were playing with him, you must know where he is." "Come on, tell me, please." "Think about it, where were you playing?" "I don't know." "Think about it." "I don't know." "You must know." "Where?" "Stop it." "We have to go." "Sátur, Sátur..." "Come back, Sátur." "Is everything to your liking, sir?" "Do you want anything else?" "Don't worry," "I wish in all palaces the service was as attentive as in this one." "I don'r wish to bother you but... would you sign your name here," "it's for my child, he admires you more than anyone." "Of course." "What's his name?" "Murillo." "And would you please write my name next to it, in tiny characters, and..."With love" or something." "I would be grateful..." "Catalina, leave... and stop annoying my guests, nobody cares about your life." "Yes, ma'am, excuse me." "I hope your stay here is to your liking." "Clean air, good wine, and a beautiful hostess." "You can't ask for more." "You'll make me blush, matador." "Another glass of Bordeaux?" "Please." "Many women would give their life to have you in their palace," "I feel fortunate." "I admit that when you invited me I felt some curiosity, a queen, a marquise and a black slave, in court they speak of nothing else." "Precisely, that's why I summoned you." "Read this." "These are the deeds of your estate in Granada." "And your lands in Seville, Caceres and Alava." "What are you talking about, Marquise?" "Do you think you can bullfight me too?" "Well, then let's get to the point." "As you wish." "You're ruined, Rafael, you should be more careful with your money." "How did you hear?" "I admit it was a challenge." "You should guard your back, but relax," "I bought all your properties, I'd hate to see you in poverty." "What do you want from me?" "That we announce our engagement tonight." "Look at it as business, you regain your land and I clear my name, both of us win, dear." "Hurry, we have to go back to the children, and be careful not to drop those clothes." "Mother, we shouldn't shortcut through here, it's very lonely." "Remember what happened to sister Elena, they raped her." "Raped... come on, don't be so naive." "That's what they all say not to admit that they've sinned." "What do you want?" "Quiet, don't fear." "It's the Red Eagle." "Do you recognise this?" "It belongs to the smock we used to dress children in at the orphanage." "many years ago." "I found it in the woods, hidden in a hole, next to the skeleton of a child." "All those who died in the orphanage had a Christian burial." "Do you know how I can identify him?" "Get to know his name, who he was, something." "I've been managing the orphanage for over 40 years," "I couldn't possibly remember everyone who lived there." "Okay, thanks." "The medal, mother." "What medal?" "All the boys wore a medal with their name and date of birth." "Thank you." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine, I'm fine." "These are not the best hours to wander around here, mother." "Water." "Do you need anything else?" "I'm fine, don't worry." "I'm going to feed you because..." "You're as stubborn as only you can be, eh?" "Come on, open your mouth." "Alonso, don't." "Auntie, you always took care of me, let me help you, please." "Come on." "I'm better, really, you don't have to worry." "If this gets cold you're not going be able to eat it." "Come on..." "Come on." "You see it wasn't so difficult." "Here, Alonso, this is "Hamlet", you have to finish reading it, eh?" "Okay." "I'll take care of your aunt." "Yeah, just what I need, no way." "Hey, you've already heard Alonso." "Nor is it so bad to get some help, also you can't go to bed without eating, so open your mouth and say ah..." "No." "Open wide." "Give it to me..." "Gonzalo." "Hello." "Margarita, I washed your clothes, I thought your hands would still hurt." "Thanks, you shouldn't have." "Well, we'll have dinner, too." "Alonso, help me with the dishes." "What's up, Gonzalo?" "Gonzalo." "I'm fine, I'm fine." "Let's see." "I'm fine." "Master, what happened?" "My leg." "Sit him here." "Help me." "You're burning, Gonzalo." "It's just because it's hot in here." "Are you okay?" "What happened?" "Something bit me in the woods but..." "it's not serious." "No, it's nothing." "I'm better." "Let's have dinner." "For God sake, Master, you're not in shape to go in there." "Whatever bit me is still there," "I have to know what animal it is so I can find the antidote." "At least let be me the one to try, since I got you into this mess." "Forget it." "Why didn't you tell me about the medal?" "What medal are you talking about?" "All you children wore a medal to identify yourself." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Sorry, master, that was long ago." "Also, why talk about that now?" "It's the only lead we have, that kid must have been wearing it when he died." "Perhaps it's still in the forest." "No, you can't go back to the pit, you have no right to stir up the past." "Sátur, you told me yourself what they did to you there." "What happened can not go unpunished." "Sátur!" "Hand me the crossbow, master." "No, get out." "Master, give me the crossbow." "Out!" "Get out." "Get out." "Sátur..." "Don't move, don't move." "Shoot." "Quiet, Sátur, don't move." "Shoot, master, Shoot, by God!" "Shoot, shoot..." "I think you hit it, master." "The water doesn't move, I think you hit it." "Señora." "Yes?" "The Duchess of Cardona's carriage just arrived, she's accompanied by other ladies from the court." "Well, Catalina, let them in." "Yes, ma'am." "Why did you invite these harpies, mother?" "They only came here to mock of us." "Watch your words, Nuño, and don't move from my side, you still have much to learn." "They come to insult us in our own palace." "Relationships in court are very similar to a war, you can't give up without a fight, son." "Duchess?" ", Ladies?" "I thank you for accepting my invitation." "Please." "We're putting our reputation at stake by visiting you, Lucrecia, so save your compliments." "What is this important business you wanted to talk about?" "Oh..." "Rafael, just in time." "I guess you already know Rafael Valverde." "A pleasure, ladies." "As you can see he's not a man of words, he prefers the action." "Well, now that we're all here I've something to announce, we have something to announce," "Isn't that so, dear?" "Yes, it is." "The Marquise Santillana and I are engaged." "You're a bastard." "What you did is beyond words." "Duchess." "Ladies..." "Duchess." "Oh, ladies." "Sátur..." "Sátur." "Sátur." "Sátur." "Sátur." "Sátur, Sátur." "Sátur..." "No!" "Alonso." "Alonso." "Master, Master!" "Master." "Alonso." "Alonso... wake up." "Are you okay?" "What?" "I think so." "Sátur..." "What happened?" "I heard noises... and came to see what happened, and Sátur got scared... and pushed me, but I'm fine." "Did you push him?" "I just..." "I thought it was someone else, but..." "I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry, Master." "I appreciate that you saved my life, Commissioner, but I've already told you what I know." "I'm sure, but there are some details I'm missing." "You say that man was part of your crew." "I've already said that." "He was Manuel Amaya, my sword handler." "Did he have something against you, some kind of quarrel?" "Lately..." "Manuel seemed very distant from me, he thought that between his wife and I..." "What?" "You know what I mean." "That's not what you said earlier." "It's been a tough day, I'd like to retire to my chambers." "One moment, just a moment." "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." "But how can a man get so crazy?" "How bad is jealousy." "How do you know it's jealousy?" "Margarita, by God, it's clear that this is over a woman." "Luckily he was caught in time, it could've been much worse." "I don't even want to imagine it." "Oh, God, this is gross, I'll go for rags, stay there." "Are you sure of what you're saying?" "That man could have killed the duchess and her son, please understand, I want to know everything about him." "Sure." "From the first moment I saw you, Manuel," "I knew I couldn't live without you by my side." "I love you and I'll love you forever." "Rafael Valverde." "We will have to notify the widow," "Would you prefer me to do it, or will you do it yourself?" "No, I'll take care of it." "Now if you'll excuse me..." "What a night I had, Marta, daughter." "I couldn't erase so much blood from my mind." "I heard that the bullfighter used to date the wife of the dead guy," "That's why he lost his mind." "So I told Margarita, I knew." "They can't fool me, I've spent years as a maid." "Go and see what the señora wants, I have a lot of work here." "How's the Marquise?" "She's concerned for her wedding dress." "Seriously, nothing can upset that woman." "Don't worry about the dress, if necessary we'll all work to stitch it up." "Catalina." "Come here a minute." "What?" "Last night I found a letter by Rafael Valverde." "So?" "The man they killed was his lover." "What are you saying?" "Look." "All these years with you, Manuel, have been the happiest of my life." "It's signed in his own handwriting." "But this is normal, one was a bullfighter and the other his sword handler, so much time together made them become friends." "No, Catalina, the letter makes it abundantly clear, look." "I want to feel your mouth on my mouth, your skin on my skin." "This is the lightest word here." "Shut up, stop reading." "Don't read further, a myth is tumbling down on me." "And why did you keep it, why not leave it where it was?" "I don't know, I didn't know what to do." "You didn't know what to do?" "This could grow into a big mess." "that letter can destroy many lives and get you in big trouble." "We should talk to the Marquise." "Not a word to her." "She's going to marry him." "Did anyone see you take the letter?" "No, I don't think so." "Well, give it to me, and the matter is over, nothing happened here." "Catalina." "Do you think we're doing right?" "Look, Margarita, in matters of the bedroom, you see, you hear, and play dumb, or else you end up badly." "They got ahead of us." "Someone's been in the pit looking for that medal." "Leave it, master." "No." "The orphanage director knew about the medal, she's hiding something and I want to know what it is." "Oh, really?" "So what will you do?" "Torture her so she'll talk?" "I'll make her confess it." "Whatever it takes." "Are you listening to yourself?" "You're starting to talk like your brother." "I saw scratch marks inside that pit, that child was buried alive." "What do you mean, alive?" "He tried to escape, that kid was locked in the hole for days." "That can't be that's impossible." "He shattered his nails trying to get out." "He had no food, no water..." "he was in complete darkness." "Do you understand now?" "He was alive." ""To their Majesties the kings of Spain," "I, Lucrecia Guzman am pleased to announce my marital bond... to the bullfigter Rafael Valverde." "It would be an honour for me that you attend so happy an event."" "Have this letter delivered to the royal palace, without fail, and take the veil, this one I will wear the day of my wedding." "Your future husband will like this lace the best." "Why?" "Because you'll be beautiful." "Thank you." "Sir." "When were you going to tell me you were engaged?" "Do you realize that we always have the same conversation?" "You have your life and I have mine, I thought you had it clear." "I don't care what you get up to in the bedroom with the bullfighter." "But why get married so quickly, why organize it so quickly?" "Excuse me," "I thought you were alone, Marquise." "Don't apologize, Rafael." "Hernán, if you please, I'd like to enjoy my future husband alone." "Rafael..." "Lucrecia, I have something important to tell you, we must break our engagement." "What is it, Rafael?" "Is it that you don't like what you see?" "Anyone would be crazy for someone like you, what happens is that I..." "I prefer a man's favors." "Getting married, doesn't mean we have to share bed." "I hope you'll be discreet about you unnatural hobby." "One of your servants knows it, Lucrecia." "Last night she found a letter that could ruin me." "I arranged our wedding..." "in order to clear my name, if this is heard in town, I'll be marked for the rest of my life." "I saw the man I loved die." "How dare you speak to me of problems in court?" "Did you see the maid well enough, could you recognize her?" "She was dark, with curly hair, very beautiful." "Margarita." "Are you better?" "Yes, luckily the poison of the snake... hasn't affected me too much." "Gonzalo, if what I said is uncomfortable to you..." "I'll go, and don't worry, I understand." "No, stay, you don't have to leave." "Whatever, but I won't stop feeling what I feel." "This is the confession of a murderer, master." "I killed..." "I killed this child, look no further for the culprit." "You said that the past always comes back and you were right." "Although we attempt to hide, it always ends up finding us," "Now I have to take the consequences and surrender to justice." "Find yourself a servant that is worthy of you." "Goodbye, Sátur." "Alonso, son, I thank you very much but you don't have to help me with everything." "It's no trouble." "Oh, really?" "Then come on, clean up." "Come on." "What's going on?" "What is it?" "Where is your bedroom?" "I won't ask again." "It's upstairs." "May I know what your men look for in my house, Commissioner?" "There is a complaint against Margarita... for practicing witchcraft." "My aunt isn't a witch." "Quiet, Alonso, they won't find anything." "Who denounced her?" "I prefer not to give his name." "Nothing, sir." "I've searched it, there's nothing there." "Commissioner." "A portrait of the queen." "Arrest her." "No, that's not mine, I swear." "Don't touch her, don't touch her." "Let her go." "Don't touch her." "Father." "Let go, I'm not a witch." "Alonso, Alonso." "Let go!" "Let go..." "Like this?" "No." "No, you have to separate the cloak from your body more." "Very good, Nuño, you're a natural bullfighter, but you must improve your posture." "Let me." "Hand." "Steady hand." "Look straight ahead and focus." "Never lose sight of the bull nor underestimate it." "This is a fight between him and you, if you drop your guard, you're dead." "Will you take me out to bullfight for real... if you marry my mother?" "All in good time." "Once again." "I've been waiting a while, Nuño, we had a fencing lesson." "Rafael will take me out to fight." "I hope it's not true, such irresponsibility, sometimes saying no at the right time is the best way to educate." "Come on, go for the swords." "I had no time before, I'd like to congratulate you on your marriage." "I'm a lucky man, Lucrecia is exceptional." "Of course she is, what I keep wondering is how she's blackmailing you." "My feelings towards the Marchioness are sincere, commissioner." "I hope you're not suggesting otherwise." "Certainly not." "Congratulations on the engagement." "Thank you." "If you'll excuse me?" "Okay, Nuño." "The back straight, let's begin." "Are you tired?" "No, I'm fine." "Better leave it for another day, we'll practice soon." "Commissioner, do you think finally my mother and Rafael will marry?" "You would like it?" "Yes, of course." "Rafael is brave and famous." "I'd at least have someone to call father." "Okay, go and rest." "You're the worst, Saturno." "A murderer and a coward." "You don't even have the courage to turn yourself in." "Come on, have guts for once in life." "You see, I want to confess that..." "Go confess in the church." "You saw that asshole?" "Gonzalo, I just found out." "She has been set up, Cipri." "The commissioner said it was an anonymous complaint." "Who could it be, who?" "I..." "I don't know." "Do you know if she had any problems with anyone lately?" "A fight, an argument?" "But Margarita is as good as can be, she's never hurt anyone in her life," "What enemies could she have?" "Please think." "Think, for God's sake, any detail could be important." "This is going to clear up, everyone knows Margarita, and she's not a witch." "Sorry, Gonzalo, I didn't know the kid was here." "Don't worry, go out in the street and ask everyone if they know something." "Cipri..." "Door to door if necessary." "Red Eagle won't let them burn my aunt, will he, father?" "No, son, but if he rescues her, she'll be a fugitive from justice, she'll have to flee the town." "And... she won't be able to come home ever?" "No, if she returns they'll arrest her again." "But... she can live in a village on the outskirts." "Alonso, no." "She'll be fleeing for life." "They won't stop chasing her." "I have to find who accused her." "You stay here, don't move." "Father, where are you going?" "To see your aunt, maybe she knows something that we overlooked." "They won't let you see her, she's condemned, father." "I'll see her." "Where do you think you're going?" "I've come to see a prisoner," "Margarita Hernando, I need to talk to her." "It's not possible." "Just for a moment." "Please." "Gonzalo." "Margarita." "I haven't done anything, I don't want to die." "Margarita, who might want your death?" "I don't know," "I don't know." "Listen, I'll get you out of here, but you have to help me, think... think." "It's too late, Gonzalo there's no time." "No." "Tomorrow they'll burn me." "Tomorrow?" "That can not be." "It's my last night, Gonzalo." "Don't bow your head , let me see your face." "Let me see you," "I need to remember your face." "Who let him in?" "Gonzalo." "Would you rather be arrested so you won't be able to see the show?" "Try to be in the square early, or you'll miss the execution." "Cipri..." "Nothing." "I asked the neighbors, merchants... in taverns, nobody knows who it could have been." "Who would want to harm Margarita?" "She's better than all of us put together." "Alonso, son, where have you come from, have you slept?" "I was up all night putting signs for Red Eagle on the roofs of the town." "Well done." "It's just that I'm scared." "What if he doesn't come?" "Because he may have more important people to save?" "It's not so." "Father... is there any news?" "Let's go home, son." "Let's go over it again, to see if we missed something." "They all like her at the bar, what about the palace?" "It's the same at the palace, all the servants are fond of her and nobles don't pay attention to us." "I really don't know who could do such a thing." "Someone did." "In palace everyone... everyone is very busy with the wedding of the bullfighter." "The letter." "What?" "Mr Commissioner." "Catalina." "If you come to ask for mercy to your friend, save your time, and above all, spare mine, we have an execution and we're late." "No, sir." "I know who denounced Margarita." "The bullfighter did it, Rafael Valverde." "Why would he do such thing?" "Because Margarita found a letter from him... in which he confessed his love for... a man." "For a man?" "Are you sure of what you say?" "Yes, sir." "Can I have this dance, Miss?" "It's not that hard." "Just listen to the music and... let go." "I don't know why, but... but I can't forget someone." "I should have forgotten him long ago but I can't." "Close your eyes." "Seeing you this way reminded me of when we were kids and... you worked at my father's barn." "I won." "Witch." "Doña Margarita." "Margarita." "Let me, let me pass." "Let me pass." "Alonso." "Alonso." "Aunt." "Your father told you to stay at home." "They say I look like my mother, but... but for this part I'm like my father." "Guess what?" "Not only do you have your mother's eyes, you also have her heart." "Get out of here, Cipri, by God." "Come help me, please." "Alonso." "He won't come on time." "I hope for your sake, you didn't put your hand on Nuno." "I like men, not children." "And I will personally take care that this defect is known all around of Spain." "What will you get with that, Commissioner?" "Ruin my career?" "To keep you away from the Marquise and her son." "Okay, I'll leave." "I'll leave and break the engagement, but I'd like to be remembered for my abilities in bullfighting, and not for my preferences in bed." "You don't move me with your good intentions." "I have to make sure... that you won't ever be tempted to return to the palace." "Either way," "I don't think the Marquise would like my love affairs to be known." "What then will be the gossip in the court?" "First a black and then a queer." "Her reputation will not recover from something like that and you will be responsible." "All right." "If you want to keep fooling everyone," "I don't care..." "Tell me what you intend." "You will make a public confession, you'll say you tried to abuse the maid and she refused." "No." "You coudn't take the humiliation, and so you accused her of witchcraft." "I wouldn't do such a thing, and even less for the favours of a maid." "You'll keep the honour of the Marquise clean, and dishonor yourself." "Either that or everyone will know that you're queer." "The Marquise will break her engagement when you make the announcement," "and if you return to bullfight in this town..." "I will kill you." "Wait here a moment." "Flee this way." "It's losely watched." "In the saddlebags you have food, water and a blanket." "You also have money to get a ship to the Americas." "To the Americas?" "There no one will find you." "You can start a new life." "A new life." "Thank you." "You need anything else?" "You've done enough." "Whatever happens, don't look back." "In the town they won't stop until they find you and kill you." "I know that." "However much you miss your family, never come back." "Never." "Thank you, goodbye." "Why are you tearing up all the wedding invitations?" "Have you changed the date?" "Yes." "The new one is never." "I've broken my engagement to Rafael Valverde," "I guess you know very well my reasons." "Getting infatuated with a maid while having you by his side is unforgivable." "What's going on, Lucrecia?" "You know everything, you yourself just told me, right?" "You've always wanted lovers that weren't looking for commitment." "What's with this sudden urgency for getting married?" "When you find the right partner there's no reason to delay." "Since when can a right partner be someone who doesn't satisfy you in bed?" "It's a long time since you've known what satisfies me and what doesn't" "Don't be so sure, perhaps I can discover it again." "Fine." "Just keep looking for it, I've no time for this now." "Can you leave me alone, please?" "You're behaving in a very strange way, Lucrecia, and I won't stop until I find out you reasons." "Got everything ready?" "Let's begin." "Do you think she'll be okay?" "Sure." "But she's a woman and she's alone." "She will succeed." "Son, your aunt is strong, she doesn't give up easily." "Okay... but you must go look for her, father, we have to go with her." "Alonso, you know that's not possible." "Why must we accept it?" "Mother is dead... and we won't see her ever again, but my aunt's alive." "We don't know where, but she's alive." "Alonso, make a bundle of your stuff, we'll go with her, wherever." "Right now?" "Right now." "Gonzalo, Gonzalo!" "Cipri, what's happened?" "She's no longer a witch, she's saved." "Are you sure?" "The bullfighter confessed that he slandered her out of spite, it was a hoax, a lie." "Father, then she can return home with us." "I'll go tell everyone." "What about Sátur?" "I haven't seen him for a while, where is he?" "I don't know, son, now the important thing is to find your aunt." "But...we don't know where she's gone, may she'll be far away?" "I'll find her." "How did you find me?" "I just chose a path at random and I hit." "Well, I guess... if you went to China for ten years and we met again, it means I can't get rid of you." "That's it, you can't." "Well, I'll..." "look for Alonso, I'm eager to hug him." "I'll see if he's awake." "Who's there?" "It's me, Master." "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to know how she was, the señora." "She's fine." "I thought you were in a dungeon." "I didn't have the courage, Master." "Besides a murderer, I'm... a coward." "What happened?" "Tomas was very happy, because he was told that very day they he was going to be adopted." "It was very unfair, I was there longer than him, at the orphanage." "Is that why you killed him?" "It was an accident." "We fought..." "I pushed him with all my might and he fell into the pit." "I thought he was dead because he didn't move." "I was really scared, Master, I thought they'd hang me." "So I put some boards to hide the pit and left." "Sátur, why didn't you trust me?" "Why did you lie to me?" "Because I knew you'd never understand." "You always do the right things, master, cleverly, and I don't, I..." "I'm a mess, I'm..." "I'm a coward, I'm a murderer." "Sátur, I make mistakes, too." "Report me, master." "Do what I can't do by myself." "Come on." "Let's heal your wound." "Master, I know that it's not the right time to ask for favours, not after what happened, but..." "I'd like to find Tomas's brother." "I don't think telling him everything that happened is a good idea." "Furthermore, Sátur, a long time has passed." "Hold it." "Yeah, but you see, I'm indebted with the family... and I would like to do something for him." "I know you have a long list of missing ones, but... if you could fit me..." "Sure." "Yes?" "Thank you, Master, thank you." "Sorry, I know I skipped the protocol between master and servant, but it just came to me, sorry." "Come on." "I want to see the anchor more closely." "Don't think that I have them all on me." "These vermin have a father and a mother, and for sure they're prowling around here." "To the Christian faith the anchor symbolizes the hope for salvation, for eternal life." "But if we find the money, we'll have eternal life, indeed." "Right?" "I'll build a house..." "To hell with a house, I'm going to build a mansion... for all of us to live together," "Alonso, Gabi, you," "Margarita, your mother, you'll see." "But it also symbolizes... symbolizes security." "Although to accomodate all of your family tree, with the new branches coming out, I don't know." "I don't know, Sátur," "I don't know why they've placed this symbol here." "There must be something else." "You'll see the mansion I'll build." "With quality materials, as did the Romans, and hey, as I feel like, eh?" "Look at the aqueduct of Segovia, there it is, it'll stay there for ever, until the end of days, like this." "Master, Master." "Master!" "You will get what you want." "He's a treasure hunter, he died searching for the holy grail." "This book can help us." "They brought this for you." "Give it to me." "As you requested, it's poisoned." "I can't imagine not going, so... thanks for making me so happy." "You think I don't know that everyday you get up... in the middle of the night and leave home?" "I beg you to reflect on my next marriage... with the Marquise of Uriarte." "Master." "Master, the Virgin appeared to me, the Virgin, yes." "I thought you'd have forgiven him." "It's assumed that you're my friend, you have to be on my side." "The Virgin appeared to Sátur." "What?" "Sorry but I don't think your really saw her." "I never lie, if I say that I saw her, then I saw her." "Lately you're different." "A woman has the right to change, right?" "I think it's worth to give onself a second chance." "By Order of the Holy Inquisition... you're arrested for questioning God and outrage against the main dogma of faith of the Catholic Church."
