"It's not them, Sátur." "They're dead anyway." "The Queen has a lover." "Does the document state who it is?" " the Duke of Uceda." "Your son and mine are dead, Master, your fault, your fucking fault." "We'll organize a competition" "attended by the best riders of the kingdom." "I'll participate in the race that the King has organized." "I'll also participate." "The duke will not survive that challenge." "The Queen wants to see you urgently." "The Queen?" "You must sleep with the Duke of Uceda." "I want a public scandal." "We have prepared a trap on the edge of the road." "When the duke falls in the pit he will have no chance." "Lately you treat me as if you hate me, like a rival." "For now, you are." "I'm going to win that race." "Praise the Lord!" "Fucking in the house of God." "The church is a sacred place and you've degraded it to a brothel." "They have been burned, Master." "They have burned them." "She'd rather be dead than "hiding."" "Lady!" "Out!" "Whore!" "Come on, go!" "Sátur, tell me what happened!" "Ah!" "Courage, Sátur, courage." "Everything I was, was buried last night with Alonso." "I do not want a life without him." "They want to excommunicate me." " You should have thought before lifting your skirts." "Do not do it!" "Our children would want us to continue living." "I came to tell you that I'm leaving." "What about me, Gonzalo?" "I'm sorry." "La Marquise de Santillana has been sentenced to wear a chastity belt." "We've lost our children and together we will go to the end." "You have to help me, please." "If you've come for my clemency you're wasting your time, Lucrecia." "No, he's still alive!" " Get rid of them... he's alive, please!" "Gabi!" "Gabi!" "Aunt..." "Can you tell me why are we here?" " You're a nuisance!" "It's the tenth time that you've asked about it since we arrived." "Don't you see that your father wants to show you something?" "Who are they?" "It is the family of one of the guards that you killed." "They were living on the day-to-day wages of the father." "They have abandoned their home and now live here." "What has this to do with it?" "That guard abducted innocent women and was forcing them to repopulate the New World." "No, your father already knows that." " No, no, no." "He doesn't know." "You didn't see how he was treating them, didn't see the faces of these women." "That guard deserved to die." "What about his family?" "What about them?" " Do you think they deserve this?" "Is it fair, the life that awaits them?" " His family doesn't matter to me." "It should be important to you, to you more than to anybody." "You know what it is like when your mother is murdered." "Master, I don't know if the boy has learned the lesson." "I only want him to understand the consequences of killing." "Come on, let's go." "Today I'll decide the mission." " What are you talking about?" "Ah!" "A landowner will release a piglet in honor of San Roque." "So what?" " Whoever catches it keeps it." "With the need that we have!" "It'll become a riot." "No, Sátur." "We have to keep looking for the Black Gate." "With all due respect, I've had it up to my balls with that door." "I'll find it alone." "He will go alone, he says!" "But with the skills that the Lord has given you with your Oriental leap, the piglet is ours!" "We also have to eat." "Okay, let's go for it." " Really?" "Madam, I bring you..." " Go away!" "Out!" "Out!" "Leave me alone, I don't want anybody coming in." "Lady, let me help you." " Go." "Go, Catalina, go." "What's up?" " Do not look." "Don't look at me." "Do not look at me!" "Lucrecia, it's me." "Calm down." " Leave me." "OFF!" "You've been through worse, you'll get over it." "There is nothing worse than this." "Don't look at me like that." "Look how?" " With compassion." "Don't you ever look at me like that." "If you want to do something for me, get out of here... and forget what you saw." "Out!" "Out..." "I already smell pork!" "No!" "No!" "Ah!" "Master!" "Quiet!" "Quiet!" "Ah!" "Then you were saying that..." "That you were walking with your sister, she went down to the river, and then what?" "After that... she never returned." "I tried searching, I called, but nothing." "Something must have happened to my sister." "Did you hear anything, voices, noises...?" " No, nothing." "Well, do not worry." "You stay quiet here and we'll search for your sister." "Come, I'll give you water and clean clothes." "Care..." "Watch out!" "Come." "The chair, look out!" "Wait, master." "Here is a door, take care." "We're in trouble again..." "This man..." "Sátur, prepare things." "We're going to look for her sister." "No, Master." "We're not going to waste time with this." "The family wanted to get rid of her and she has been abandoned." "Why do you say that?" "From the begining of time, these people are a burden to everyone." "A woman and blind." "The strange thing is that they have not abandoned her before this." "I hope that not everyone thinks like you." "Shit, sometimes you make me look like a complete bastard." "This is not an ethical question, just mathematics." "When the family does not have enough to eat, it has to choose." "We know nothing of her family." "You may have read many books, but I have seen quite a few cases like this." "Do you think that in the orphanages there are only orphans?" "It may not be so in this case." " And if it is?" "What if the family abandoned her?" "What are you going to do?" "Force them to take her back?" "We must make sure that nothing bad happened to her sister." "Fucking great!" "Fucking great!" "Then come on, let's go to the forest and lose more time." "I also tell you this: start thinking what we'll do with her." "I don't know and it's not the time to discuss it." "Well, I don't know either." "And you know what?" "I forbid it." "I forbid you to bring anyone else into this house." "You can't support any more." "Let's be realistic, shit." "I'll think about it when it happens." "I'm going to the forest." "If you don't want to go, don't come." "Señor Commissioner, I didn't invent anything." "It is the story which they repeat about the Marquesa de Santillana." "So that is what they say, that she was so depraved as to lay with animals." "I did not say it, I just heard it." "Well, that has a very easy solution." "From now on you will not listen to anything anymore." "Ah!" "Captain!" "Take him and cut off the other one." "No!" "No!" "No!" "What did they say?" " I spoke to the Duchess of Burgundy and all of Lucrecia's friends." "All refuse to visit her." "They say they can not attend a woman... punished by the Church." " As if that mattered to them." "Their beds are more crowded than a comedy theater." "Señor." " What is happening?" "Nothing's happening, Commissioner." "You see, I came to offer my services." "Why would I want a dwarf?" " I am the best at making laughter." "You must not get a lot of work." "You're not funny at all to me." "I can play violin and harpsichord, throw the diabolo very high and paint caricature portraits and I know magic." "Sorry, I could not help it." "Okay..." "You're hired." "I hope you are as funny as you say." "I will not disappoint you, sir." "With all the things that we need to do and now we lose the morning." "We are going to keep on looking." " But look for what?" "It is clear that they have abandoned her." "You always say that the simple explanation is the one that is true." "These things happen, but what if she is in danger?" "That old song of yours again!" "We should ask the blind woman where she lives." "I bet that the sister is safe and uncaring at home." "Perhaps she got a husband." "Let's see how you get the owl a husband, with a blind woman on her back there is no-one who will marry her." "I won't say something so harsh to her without knowing it is true." "You should do it now, so as to get the mourning over and done with." "Sátur!" "Go and ask about the girl." "Okay, but I don't think..." "Sátur, go." "Ah!" "If you are looking for money I have nothing." " No, no..." "No, father, no." "I don't want money." "I... came to ask you something." "Have you seen here..." "a young woman "like that"?" "I have not seen anyone, sorry." "Well since you haven't seen her, I'm sorry I scared you." "Do I have something on my face?" " I know you." "Me?" "No." "The thing is that I have a very common face and..." "And people confuse me often." "But I don't think I..." "Goodbye, father." "Well?" "I've already told you, the man knew nothing." "If you want, I'll ask the fish about it." "You may be right." "Let's go home." " Wait." "If possible I would like a drink of water." "I'm thirsty." "The fish are going crazy!" "What?" "It's a femur." "A what?" "A human bone." "The mother who bore me!" "What are you doing here?" " Open the windows." "Prepare the Marquise' clothing." "Don't you dare touch my clothes." " No, ma'am." "And what are you going to do?" "Stay locked up the rest of your life?" "That's none of your business." "Come on, hurry." "What is that?" " It's a gift, Lucrecia." "Do you think some dresses will comfort me?" "It is not dresses." "Oh!" "Oh!" "At your feet, señora." " What is that?" "As you see, a dwarf." " Yes, I can see that." "What do you want me to do with a dwarf?" " What high society does:" "entertainment." "Oh!" "How beautiful!" "How beautiful!" " Take that ugly bird from my bedroom." "Get that thing out of my sight." "Out." "Out!" "Señor..." "Stupidest thing you've done in your life." "At least I managed to reveal your adorable character." "Señor Commissioner, they have brought this for you." ""I need to see you urgently at my residence."" "Forgive me, master, but it is impossible to follow your thought processes." "First we are looking for a sister who does not need to be sought." "Then we find that bone in the river and bring it home." "What do you want that crap for?" "I want to check something." " What?" "The size of the arm?" "This is not an arm, Sátur." "It's a leg." "From the size it belongs to a young woman, more or less of your height." "How do you know it's a woman?" "What are you getting at?" "The sister disappeared at the riverside ... near where we found the bone." "No, Master, no." "You don't mean..." "Could it be the sister?" " It's possible." "The bite marks are very recent, apparently today." "No one was at home and you heard the neighbors:" "No one has seen her return." " Oh my God, the poor thing!" "She may well have been caught by hungry wolves and they haven't even left the gristle." " It wasn't wolves." "Bite it." "I don't have the stomach for it ..." " Sátur, bite it." "These are the same marks." "You see?" "These were human teeth." "But what atrocity are you suggesting?" "!" "How come that a person eats another?" "That goes against nature!" "What kind of monster would commit an aberration like that?" "Man!" "We have to go back to the forest and find out who did it." "Then according to you..." "do we already forget the sister?" "I'll have to tell her." "Do not worry, go to the forest and I'll do it." "Ah!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "What will they do to us?" "What will they do to us?" "Has there been White Smoke and I have not heard?" "Eminence." "The Holy Father's health is so delicate that we should be prepared." "You may retire." ""I need to see you urgently at my residence."" "It seems that you're not in a state of distress." "It has come to my attention that you intend to participate in the race" "His Majesty arranged for tomorrow." "Yes, Eminence." "You do know that the Duke of Uceda will also take part in it." "One of the attractions of the race is to defeat him." "He's one of the best riders in the kingdom." "Don't worry." "I assure you... that you will defeat him." " I do not understand, eminence." "The Duke of Uceda will not come back alive from this race." "Why do you want to kill a general of the Royal Army?" "Let's say that this is an important service to the kingdom." "Where do I fit in all of this?" "As you know, the race begins at the arsenal of the royal hunting preserve." "Are you ready?" "Do you know the rules?" "The route is secret, they will give a map to the participants with eight points at which to pick up the ribbons." "Each rider chooses his own route." "The winner will be the first to arrive at the palace... carrying the flags to attest he passed the points marked on the map." "When the duke reaches the red flag, you will push him so that he will fall down exactly here." "There will be a sign." "A trap." " Right, a hidden pit .." "where a horrifying surprise awaits him." "Eminence it's too risky." "Any other rider could fall." "Who said it was easy?" "That's why I want you." "I will also participate." "I don't need permission from my mother or yourself." "I'm going to win that race." "Commissioner?" "What's the trap?" "Just say a faithful friend of mine awaits down there." "A dog?" "You think that a dog will finish off one of our best soldiers?" "Pat the dog." "But eminence..." "I said, pat the dog." ""Marquesa, we are sorry we are unable to visit you in your palace during our next visit to the court."" ""Dear Marquise, under the circumstances, you would not be well received at the dance I'm giving in my palace."" ""Dear Lucrecia, is entirely impossible that we admit you into our theatre box." "We request that you avoid greeting us in case we meet."" ""For obvious reasons I inform you that my daughter will never visit."" ""The House of Alba regrets not being able to invite you to the gala ball"." ""I am sorry to have to decline your invitation"." "Señora?" "The hairdresser is about to arrive." "What do I want with the hairdresser?" "Why should I bother with grooming?" "Tell me, what for?" "At least dress, lady." "You can not do this all day." "Madame..." "Oh, you're here again." "Pick a card." "Madam, take it." "Let's play, the three of us." "Let's play Brisca, it's entertaining." "Oh, my God, from what I've been ... now to play cards with a dwarf and a maid." "This trick is good." "Pick a card." "Would you prefer I recite a poem?" "I know the spiciest of Quevedo." "Do you want me to dance a minuet, or should I update the scandals in Pacheca's brothel." " Out of here right now." "Get him out of here or I'll throw him out the window." "Madam, I..." "What do you want done with him?" " Throw him into the street." "Madam, please..." "I have nowhere to go." "That's not my problem." "Give me a chance, please." "I swear I'll make you laugh." "I have a trick for this evening that nobody but me can do." "If I fail to amuse ..." "I'll go." "Madam, give him a chance." "Stop, stop, stop!" "Stop, I'll do it." " Thank you, I can manage alone." "Of course you can." " I'm not useless," "I just do not know the house." " I know." "In my house I did everything by myself." "Sorry, I say this because between the two of us, we could go faster." "Well." "What are you doing?" "I want to know how you look." " Huh?" "What color are your eyes?" "Well and..." "They're a brownish color, brown." "Brown ..." "But when the light hits them it seems like they want to be green." "You have face of good person." "Well..." "Have you been to the forest?" "To the forest." "To the forest?" "Yes, we have been." " And?" "Have you heard from my sister?" "It's a difficult area and, with rugged areas, and with many nooks and crannies and it is not easy to find anyone." "Your voice trembles." "the fact is that there was a low mist and I have a bit of a sore throat." "I'm blind but not stupid." "Do not lie." " No, no, no." "Has something happened to my sister?" " No, no." "Really, I'm not lying." "We don't know anything about her." "I am going give some food to the nags, they have not eaten and they will eat the lime off the wall." "I've brought you what you asked for your toiletries." "Leave it there." " Yes, sir." "Clean my riding boots and my saddle for tomorrow." "They have to be impeccable." "What are you looking at?" "I've been looking for you all morning." " Irene!" "I've been training for the race tomorrow." "What's up?" "Here." " What is this?" ""Dear Nuño, a woman should be devoted to her husband for life." "I have betrayed mine by going to bed with the person that he loves the most: you." "We have to forget this... and continue as if nothing had happened between us." "Irene. "" "Nuño..." "Yes, Commissioner?" "Do you have a moment?" "We need to talk." "What?" "Is not a good idea for you to enter the race." "What is this now?" "I made it clear that I would ride." "I am already registered." " I have withdrawn you." "I'll ride in that race no matter what happens." "It won't be you who ignores an order of mine." "If you go out my men will take you to the dungeons." "Master!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Eagle!" "Ah!" "I could not do it." " Do what?" "I couldn't tell the girl about her sister." "How do you tell someone... a crazy has eaten someone you love?" "There is no reason to tell her the whole truth, but ... we can't hide that her sister has died." "What colour do you think my eyes are?" "Brown." "And when I get a little sun ..." "Don't they look greenish?" "Sátur, what are you talking about?" " Nothing..." "Do you know that the blind use touch to see?" "They use other senses to make up for the lack of vision." "Ah!" "That girl... told me that I have the face of a good person just by touching me." "There are things that it is not necessary to see, Sátur." "I could not live without sight." "I have to thank the above, who has deprived me of much, but has left me sight." "Let's go home." "How will we catch this cannibal?" "I don't know." "He may already be far away." "Well I tell you one thing, if he's in Albacete, then..." "Well, it's the problem of those of Albacete." "Ah!" "Master!" "Sátur!" "Are you okay?" "Lady." "Good night." " 'Night, Mother." "Not sitting to eat, Mother?" " I'm having dinner in my bedroom." "Lady, do you want me to prepare you chicken broth?" "It's always good for the body." "I have a chastity belt .." "I'm not toothless." "Good night." "I'll accompany you." "You won't sup with us?" "No, just in case you think of coming up with another gift." "Permit me, noble public .." "I will liven up the evening with my most famous trick, which has astonished kings and princes throughout Christendom." "Relaxing will be good for all of us." "To carry this out, I need a piece of paper." "Do I look like I'm carrying a sheet of paper?" "And you, sir?" "Will do me the courtesy of giving me what you have in your pants?" "I'm not going to give you anything." " Oh!" "No?" "Then I have no choice but ..." "Than to take it myself!" "Give me that right now!" " Oh!" "It's only a game, Nuño." " That it is, Señor Commissioner." "It's just a game!" "It's a written paper." "Will you be so kind as to read it?" " Of course." "Irene!" "Irene!" "Irene, Irene..." "I told you to get rid of him." "If I see him around here again, I'll shrink you to his size." "Yes, ma'am." "You heard the Marquesa, you have to go." "Don't throw me out, please." "Let me spend this night here." "I have no where to go." "Look, you stay in the kitchen." "Don't let anyone find you, or they'll cut both our throats." "And you leave before dawn." "Without fail, don't worry." "Thank you very much." "Come on, come on, follow me." "Please, señora, do you have a coin?" "Please, please..." "Are you okay?" "Yes, thank you." ""It's the family of one of the guards you killed."" "Could you give me something?" "I do not..." "I have no money." " A loaf of bread, whatever." "I have to bring something to my family." " I'm sorry." "They killed my father and we have nothing." "Please..." "I'm sorry." "No..." "No, leave it, leave it." "I'll do it." "I heard about people who disappeared in the forest of Riofrio" "But always attributed the problem to the wolves." "Even the locals made a raid to kill them." "Are you telling me that you already knew that?" "That in this forest people disappear?" "With all due respect, Master, you are a bastard." "Do you realize that if I was alone they would have devoured even my penis?" "I only just realized." "How could they have become something like that?" "I do not know, Sátur." "Sometimes our needs ... lead us to do things..." " Like what need?" "What are you telling me about need?" "Of that I know a little bit and it has never made me sink my teeth into a countryman." "Sátur, are you okay?" " The one who attacked me had a..." "A mark on the neck, something like a brand." "What was this brand?" " Well it was a..." "The mother who bore me, the lack of vocabulary that I have." "More or less." "A clover?" " Huh?" "It could be part of a shield." "What kind of shield?" "What shield?" " From a noble house." "But what does all this have to do with real estate?" "Sátur here!" "It's Earl Castresana's shield." "That's it!" "That's it!" "Come over here." "Follow me." "Go, lie down there." "Lie there and by God I ask you, don't move all night." "Thank you very much, really." "Cover up, this kitchen is very cold." "Listen, before the sun rises you must leave." "Don't worry, I'll go." "Wait!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Care." "Give me your hand, you'll fall." " Who are you?" "Don't hurt me..." " Easy, I'm Cipri, the other servant." " Ah." "Why are you going alone?" "Aren't Gonzalo or Sátur at home..?" "I haven't told anyone that I'm leaving." " Where are you going?" "To the Forest of Ríofrío." " On your own?" "Something's happened to my sister." "Wait, wait, wait..." "How can you go to the forest by yourself?" " I can't wait!" "All right, hold on." "I'll hook a horse to the carriage and I'll take you to the forest." "Oh, thank you." "Wait here." "I want this necklace, brilliant earrings and tiara." "Majesty, they have brought this for you." "Retire." ""The most exquisite sweet for the most exquisite woman." "I would like to be at your side right now." "You remain at all times in my thoughts." "I will win this race for you"." "I see you've decided to don your best finery for the race." "Anyone would think you're courting me." "I try to win your love every day, darling." "It's the key to any marriage." "Lately you have not been willing to satisfy your husband." "Wrap up, darling." "Don't cool down." "I am not going to attend the race." "But..." "Everyone expects to see us there." "You seem much too disappointed." "Before, you were not especially interested in such things." "The winner expects his king to present the trophy." "Well, he'll have to be content with his queen." "You'll go on behalf of the crown." "The protocol requires that we both go, but... of course if you want me to attend alone..." "It's not for me to oppose your wishes, dear." "Go and enjoy yourself." "I have no doubt it will be an unforgetable show." "Why have they brought us here?" "Elena..." "Isabel?" "Oh!" "Isabel!" "Isabel!" "You're alive!" "Where are we?" "What is this place?" "What is it?" "Isabel !" "Isabel!" "Let her go!" "No!" "Isabel!" "Release her!" "What are you going to do to her?" "Isabel!" "Hernan..." "Good luck." "Do you want me to come with you?" "No." "I prefer that you remain here." " All right." "Señor." "Catalina?" "Yes, Señor." " And those?" "They are the riding boots of señorito Nuño." "He asked they be prepared for this morning." "Give me the keys to his bedroom." " Señor, I..." "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "The door!" "Catalina!" "Catalina, open the door!" "What are you doing?" "Catalina!" "I locked Nuño in his bedroom." "He wanted to go in the race and still is not able." " Mother!" "Open the door!" "Catalina!" " Open." "I thought you agreed he was not to race." "If Nuño does not compete in that race today for all it will seem as if he is also receiving my punishment and no noble house will accept him." "There will be other events, which he will be able to attend." "I don't want it to seem that he is ashamed of what happened to me." "My shame should not be his." "Nuño must seize this opportunity to come forward." "He will not go, Lucrecia." " How dare you?" "Have you forgotten that you're under my roof?" "The key, come on." "I command you to give it to me." " No, I will not." "If you do not give me the key I'll kick the door down." "In the race, a man will die in a terrible way." "How do you know?" " I merely know." "Believe me, it's not the best place to be." "And Nuño will not be." "Master, the horses are ready." "When we go for these savages," "I expect you to hook and smash them the way you know how." "So they will stop wanting to sink their teeth into a neighbor." "Take the katana and..." "Ee-ya!" "Let's move." "Is there something wrong, Master?" "Normally you would already be on the horse." "They were a family, Sátur." "What are you saying?" "Who were a family?" "They were the sons of the steward of the Count de Castresana, eight brothers." "Who are you talking about, these savages?" "The oldest one was seven." "He stole a chicken and the Count had him branded." "Then he dismissed his father." "Shit, I have been fired so many times!" "Even so..." "I didn't feel like having an afternoon snack on anybody." " Sátur listen." "The father was with his eight children on the street." "He begged to allow them to eat, but he died the first winter." "Well, yes, that's hard." "That seven-year-old child had to take care of his brothers, the smallest ones were still babies." "Sure, so why..." " So they went to live in the forest." "A boy taking care of other children," "Searching for food, trying not to die from cold." "What else could he teach them, Sátur?" "No, if like that, of course." "But..." "The fact is that they eat people." " Sátur, they haven't known anything else." "They don't even know that what they do is wrong." "What will you do, Master?" "Let them continue doing what they do?" "I can not." "Will you kill them... in cold blood?" " You tell me, Sátur." "Tell me that this is the just thing and I'll go out now for them." "Father!" "I'm worried, Cipri hasn't returned." " Returned from where?" "The Forest of Ríofrío." "They left last night." ""They", who?" "Cipri and the blind woman." "She wanted to find her sister." "They're not back yet." "Has something happened to them?" "We can not begin." "The Duke of Uceda has not arrived." "He's coming, Commissioner." ""Gentlemen, go to the exit"." "Duke of Uceda." " Commissioner." "A good day to ride." " Of course." "It is an honor to compete against a rider of your ability." "The privilege is mine." ""Deliver the maps"." ""Gentlemen, you can open the maps"." ""Royal Guard, retire."" "Nuño, come on." "Don't act like a child." "I have reasons to not let you run that race, believe me." "Have I ever done anything against your best interests?" "I understand that you're angry, but answer me when I speak!" "If you don't answer, not riding in that race will be the least of your problems." "Nuño!" "Catalina!" "Lady." " Prepare my clothes." "I have to go to the race." "Nuño is in danger." "But how are you going to go?" "In that corset you can't even move." "I said bring my clothes." "I'm going to go to that race either way." "Let's go." "Yes, ma'am." "Nothing, master." "We have scoured the forest and no trace of the savages." "We're on their turf." "We'll not find them if they don't want to be found." "Then?" "So..." "We're going to use bait." " What bait?" "If only thing that they are interested in is..." "No." "No, master, no." "Can't you see that if you are disarmed you offer yourself on a tray?" "Sátur, disarmed perhaps they'll risk taking me." "This man has lost his way." "Isn't it about us catching them?" "They themselves will take me to their lair." "This is the last straw!" "This is why you want to be offered as bait." "Are you going crazy or what?" "And the net?" "What do you want with this net?" " I need your help." "This is nonsense." "Of all of your follies this one takes the cake." "Think about it." "You are giving yourself to them." "The only missing thing is a sprig of parsley." "Take the horses and go home." " How I am going to leave you here alone?" "What if I don't see you again?" "God forbid." "Sátur, go." "Go away!" "What am I good for at home, him risking his life and me sitting by the fire like a grandmother." "No..." "No!" "No!" "Master!" "Sátur!" "Sátur!" "And what about the carriage?" " It's waiting for you, but don't worry the señorito is a good rider and nothing will happen to him." "We go, enough already!" " Yes, we just need..." "Leave it." " Lady, not this way." "Bring my cloak, it will cover me." "Come on." "Let me fix your hair." " I have to leave now." "Take this pillow to sit on, you won't hurt yourself with the jolting." "Señora, the guard of the Inquisition has just arrived." "They want to see you now." "Lucrecia Guzman, the Holy Office summons you." "You must accompany us." "Where?" " A tribunal of the Inquisition must verify that the belt has not been tampered with." "I will not submit to further humiliation." " If you refuse you will be imprisoned." "How long will it take?" " As long as necessary." "Give me a moment." " We will wait at the door." "Lady..." "Lady..." "We should hurry, the Inquisition will not wait." "Catalina..." "You have to take care of my son." " Me?" "You want me to attend the race?" " I do not speak about Nuño." "I'm talking about my baby." " The newborn baby?" "But lady, I thought he was dead." "He cannot go more than three hours without feeding." "He's in the cellar." "Take care of him." "Ah!" "No!" "No!" "Sátur..." "Have they caught you too?" " Cipri, What are you doing here?" "Couldn't you have stayed at home!" "Look where we are because of you!" "Elena!" "Elena!" "Elena, are you okay?" "What happened?" "What have they done?" "Her sister..." " Huh?" "They have ..." " What?" "She's been..." "Oh, God." "I've seen it, Satur, everything." "It was horrible, that girl..." "I have seen, Sátur!" "Relax, Cipriano." " The screams of the sister" "You can't even imagine." " Shut up, Cipri!" "Your father worked for the Count of Castresa?" "Isn't that right?" "He was the one who gave you that brand." "You are the oldest of your brothers." "You had to care for them, that's why you are like this now." "But you are people like us, you are not savages." "Ah!" "No!" "Not the girl!" "You're not going to take her!" "No!" "No!" "Sátur!" "Sátur!" "No!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "No!" "Ah!" "No!" "Cipriano!" "Cipri!" ""When the Duke reaches the red flag a horrifying surprise waits for him." "A trap." "Right here."" ""There will be a sign."" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Nuño..." "Nuño." "Nuño, help me." "Nuño!" ""A woman should be devoted to her husband for life"." "Ah!" "No!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Nuño!" "Nuño!" "No!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "No!" "Release him!" "Let him go please!" "Cipri!" "Get him out of there, by God!" "Ah!" "Now!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "What are you doing here?" "Let me out." "What are you doing with the child?" " I must take him." "Why must you take him?" "Where?" " That's none of your business." "What do you mean not my business?" "Give me that child right now." "I'm sorry, but I was paid a lot to see if he was alive." "Now that I have him I will ask for a fortune for him." "You're not going to get out of here with that child." "Give him to me now." " I dare you to stop me." "Please." "What is going to happen to the baby?" " it will serve nothing for you to know." "You can't do anything for him." "Now, get out of my way or you're dead." "Ya!" "Calm, my life.." "Quiet .. now you're with me." "How is Cipri?" " How would you be?" "Complaining." "He's getting a burn ointment .." "he looks like a tuna in oil." "He almost died." "And you say, so boiled the poor guy, he stinks like pig's hock." "We have the neighborhood dogs at the door." "Come on, give it to me." "And Elena?" "Elena is sad, very sad." "Apparently there is a neighbor who is taking care of her." "Although the poor thing, without her sister, I do not know..." "And you let the savage escape." "Sátur I could not kill him." "It was only a kid who was fleeing." "What is that drawing you're looking at?" "It is the only engraving that exists of the Black Gate." "Here we are." "That's your old song again, the little door up to my balls." "We got out of one and now we get into other one?" "What if that were not really the case?" "We must look for the door in another form." "I've had enough of looking for it normally without looking for other versions." "I'm sure this engraving is hiding something." "Speaking of hiding, I have not told you that I set traps for rabbits." "A key." "I might check to see if anything has fallen in." "A clue." " A cat, at least." "Yes!" "Well then, neither or rabbit nor cat." "We'll be here all night wondering if these prints are nails, pannels... or one of these rare decorations that has the door knocker: eh?" "The knocker..." "Sátur, maybe you're right." "Right how?" "What did I say?" "Look, they have a very strange placement." "See?" "My empty belly is blurring my vision." "It reminds me of something." "In Avila, in the Vega of the Alberche." "I saw five huge stones, also placed in the shape of a spearhead." "Come on, Satur, get ready." "We're going to see them." "Are we going to see some stones now?" "With the cold that falls in Avila?" "What choice, let's hit road again." "You won't believe this, Master, but once, years ago," "My butt went to sleep because I was sitting for too long." "Certainly, that has never happened to you..." "You'll think it's a tale." "No?" "We're going to Avila." "There are dead below?" "Are you saying that this is a cemetery?" "If it's the Inquisition that sent you, be assured that I keep the chastity belt intact." "Lately you're not sleeping very well." "Is there something bothering you?" "I've been eating this." "I had to put something in my mouth." "Why?" "You met monsignor Adrián, isn't that true?" "We have no food because you have neglected the house." "There's nobody worse than me." "Your authority is to protect the people, not to jeopardize them."
