The third infantry company has fallen into the hands of the Portuguese.
That's Juan's outfit.
They're calling on the king to pay a ransom for their release.
The bishop is looking for a suitably discrete woman...
to work as a housekeeper in his house...
can't you think of someone?
Your Eminence, I want the hand of your niece Irene.
How dare you interrupt me and propose something that's so far-fetched??
Maybe you'll find the answers to the questions you've been pursuing for so long.
You're a whore!
What are you doing? Don't touch her!
I killed him. The town's bishop, he was beating Estuarda.
I don't plan to yield to blackmail.
Your Majesty, please, do not leave those men to die, please!
Who dares tell the king what he must do?
I'm Gonzalo de Montalvo.
Let him go.
I'm caught on something.
Martín, I'm getting married.
Don't do it.
It costs you dearly to express your feelings.
Well, you're not very spontaneous, as they say.
Then let's have a race to that tree...
and I'll give you a head start.
Was this what you wanted?
Are you jealous?
To be jealous I'd have to love you.
Martín, please, don't make things even more difficult for me.
I love you.
We're going to work this out, I promise you.
Margarita, the king has dispatched the ransom...
you can relax, and even smile a bit, come on.
Martín, what have we done?
Nothing evil, Irene.
Cut off my arm or uproot the tree, but this isn't leaving.
No!
A parchment.
There's no reason for us not to continue to do business as usual.
It's very dangerous, but there's a lot to gain.
They've attacked the ransom shipment sent to free the soldiers from the Portuguese,...
it was the Red Eagle.
I want his head.
I hope they nab the Red Eagle and hand his head to the king on a tray.
That son of a bitch has just condemned our soldiers, that's what he's done.
Sátur!
If they find the bishop's body...
Estuarda and Gabi have left town.
And where did they go, Cipriano?
Why a Red Eagle?
Because it'll take you back to your roots.
Master, I found the chest with the ransom,...
and I've been tempted.
Are you going to dare to do it?
That's the escutcheon of my family.
He didn't kill the bishop,...
he's innocent.
I know who killed him.
Let's go, quickly,...
he should already be tied to the stake.
No, please!
I didn't do anything!
I just found the ring!
Have you ever seen anyone get impaled?
Well, his screams are heard all over town.
Relax,...
you're safe now.
I didn't kill the bishop, sir.
I know, listen to me:...
I'll help you leave town, but you can never ever come back here again.
Do you understand? If you come back, they'll kill you.
Go on, stab him, they're giving 100 ducats for him.
Let's go, let's go!
Are you all right?
Yeah, don't worry, let's go.
Where's the ransom?
Tell me where it is.
Never.
Gonzalo.
Hey,...
have you seen Alonso?
No, I imagine he went out to play,...
you know how he is.
Today is when they should be paying the ransom to release the hostages, right?
~ Yes. ~ Maybe the king will pay in the end, anyhow.
The empire has lots of money...
to spare, and Juan is his cousin,...
they aren't going to leave him there...
Well, that's his family, right?
~ Could it be? ~ Sure enough.
Or maybe the Red Eagle will give back what he stole.
"Master, when you read these lines,...
"I'll already be far away.
"Master, I found the chest with the ransom,...
"as if by chance...
"and it's tempted me."
What's this?
"I'm sorry for the damage I'll do,...
"mostly to Margarita,...
"and I know God won't forgive me,...
"Nor do I expect it."
But this isn't just a letter from Sátur, Gonzalo,...
this is a death sentence!
Who could do something like this, for God's sake?
Someone who's very desperate.
Even more desperate than those facing death.
We're going to find him.
I don't know how.
We have no idea where he went.
If we can figure out where Estuarda went, we'll know.
Trust me.
"Goodbye, Master"
Stop!
Alonso, what are you doing here?!
I read your letter,...
I know everything, your betrayal, the works!
By the mother who bore me!
And you spent all night hiding there without saying anything?
Because even if I dared ask you to stay, you wouldn't even consider it.
Sátur, you have to go back and return the king's money...
or else they'll kill those soldiers because of what you did!
I can't, Alonso, I can't do that.
Yes, yes you can, you have to go back.
Look how singleminded this brat is, get off!
Sátur, you killed the bishop,...
and you've stolen the money needed to save Juan!
You'd never understand it, now dismount.
But what should I understand, Sátur?
You betrayed us.
Why did you do it?
Because they're leaving!
Estuarda and Gabi are leaving!
They're taking a ship to the Americas,...
and if I go back I'll never see them again.
Alonso, it's the last chance I'll ever have to have a family.
You see? I told you you wouldn't get it.
No, no, no, Sátur,...
either you go back or I go with you to the Americas,...
but I'm not getting off this cart.
Finally, what do we do with the menu, ma'am, veal or deer?
Veal. Wait...no, that's fine.
Whatever you think would be more convenient.
No, ma'am, what you order...
because, definitely, can you tell me how many guests you are expecting?
No one, we're going to eat as usual, with the priest, no one else.
Irene, help me a bit, after all, it's your wedding, you have to be happy with it.
Whatever you decide is fine, Lucrecia.
Marquesa, the doctor has arrived.
Catalina, accompany Irene to the doctor's exam.
What exam?
A routine exam,...
so our future spouses know we are healthy and chaste.
Catalina, rest assured that this comes out of your salary.
Yes, ma'am.
Lucrecia, I'm perfectly fine.
I'm sorry, dear, but this is a prerequisite, all of us noblewomen have gone through it.
Not worry, it's just mildly intrusive,...
they want to make sure you'll be a fertile addition to our noble ranks.
Let's go.
Hernán.
Irene.
Commissioner.
Where are they off to?
To check whether Irene is worthy of you.
Is she?
I come to thank you for all the effort you've put into the preparations for the wedding.
It's no effort,...
I'm delighted that I could help.
Hernán,...
I wanted to ask you a favor.
Whatever you want, Lucrecia.
After the wedding I don't want you to come back here ever again.
I've always considered this palace as my second home.
Yes, but it isn't.
Does Nuño know?
His mother knows, and that's me.
It's better for Nuño,...
and for all concerned.
Goodbye, Hernán,...
tomorrow will be the last day we see each other.
Lucrecia.
Hernán.
Let's go, walk, move it.
What place is this?
I don't know, but if we're here, maybe it's to make a swap.
~ To kill us. ~ If they just wanted to kill us, they would have done it long ago.
The king would never abandon us.
I don't like my life hanging on anyone, least of all the king.
~ What's wrong, kid? ~ I don't want to die.
You're not going to die!
Stop or I shoot!
They're going to kill us all,...
and you know it.
Don't say that!
I have to go home, you understand?
And what are we going to do now?
The doctor's waiting.
What can we do?
I don't know, Catalina, I don't know.
"I don't know, Catalina?"
I...
I'm sorry.
Quit being sorry, we're not here to cry,...
go away.
Go away!
There's nothing to be done for it, Catalina,...
I don't regret anything, and I assume my dishonor.
With all my respect, Miss Irene,...
for you it's the shame,...
for my nephew it's the spike.
The Portuguese emissary has arrived.
The ransom money hasn't reappeared.
Show him in.
Your Majesty,...
the Spanish prisoners are already at the agreed spot,...
and now their freedom depends on you.
I've decided not to pay...
the king of Spain will not tolerate any sort of coercion.
Your Majesty,...
that was not your position.
I believe I have been sufficiently clear.
There is a way of resolving this without you paying anything,...
you'll understand it will be enough, if you think about it:...
give Portugal its independence.
I will not cede you even one acre of our land.
In that case,...
every hour we will execute ten men,
and I remind you...
that among these is your cousin.
They are soldiers of the Spanish Empire,...
they will know their higher duty,...
as will my cousin.
My Dad, he trusted you,...
he gave a roof over your head,...
and we've treated you like part of the family, Sátur,...
how did we wrong you?
Shut up, Alonso, just shut up.
And Aunt Margarita,...
she likes you very much, always washed your clothes, and patches them up...
and she never yells at you!
Do you want to keep quiet for just a minute, kid!
With all you're saying, I don't know how you can catch your breath!
Back off, boy!
I need to think!
We have to take the money back to town.
Let's see, you already told me this 350 times.
If I go back, I'll be too late to meet up with Gabi and Estuarda.
Sátur, what are you doing?
Now what?
I've made a decision: take it, go on.
Get down.
If you go along this road, you'll come to an inn,...
with this money you can buy a horse,...
you're a clever boy, Alonso, would you know the way back?
Sátur, you're not just going to leave me, are you?
Sátur!
I hope you'll be able to forgive me someday.
Please, Sátur, don't go!
Sátur?
Sátur, don't go!
Sátur, please!
You'll never be a good father if you act like this!
You're killing Juan, you're killing them all!
You're a traitor!
Traitor!
Sátur!
Hop on!
I knew it.
~ Let's go. ~ I knew you couldn't do it.
Let's go, you have to turn around.
You have to give the money back.
We're not going to give it back.
What, then?
They'll die, anyway.
Don't worry, I know what I'm going to do.
I know where the exchange is supposed to take place.
That's fine, you can get dressed now, Miss Irene,...
we're all done.
I ought to tell you that I have to tell the family of some details which disturb me.
The callouses on your skin aren't suitable for nobles such as yourself.
I'll prepare an unguent to solve that,...
but aside from that, you're perfectly healthy,...
your spouse should be both happy and proud...
you'll be an excellent mother.
Doctor.
Elvira, escort the doctor.
Marta, girl,...
Thanks very much.
How are you?
What a shame I've undergone!
It's the first time a man touched me.
I know,...
but you did just fine.
Estuarda's gone --- she grabbed her son, and I haven't seen her since.
Did she say where she's going?
No idea, she just said goodbye to everybody just as if it was forever.
And you don't remember her saying anything?
And do you know Sátur, a small man who hangs around her sometimes?
No, no, I haven't seen him, I don't know anything.
You're sure that Estuarda didn't tell you where she's going?
For God's sake, I beg you, I can pay you!
Did it sound to you that she might have said something about somewhere?
Who's this kitty? Hey, you're new, I've never seen you here before.
~ Let me go! ~ What a lioness!
Let me go, man!
~ She told you to let her go. ~ Yes, yes, wait your turn, this whore is mine.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Have you any information?
Let's go.
You wanted to see me?
Yes, thank you, commissioner.
I have this for you.
I was going to give it to you for your birthday,...
but I got it a while ago. This type of dagger is only made in Toledo.
It's precious, Nuño.
I've never had a dagger like this one.
Tomorrow you're getting married, and maybe you won't have so much spare time for coming to the palace afterwards,...
Don't say that. Nuño, don't say that.
I'll always have time for you.
We'll surely find a way for us to get together.
You still have a lot of sword practice to work on.
Well, that's what said, but you'll soon have your own family, and...
You can come see me whenever you want.
Listen,...
I've never let you down,...
and I'm not going to start now.
Commissioner, I only wanted to thank you for...
being here all these years...
with me, and showing me how to ride a horse,...
how to fight,...
and I wasn't even your son.
Are you all right?
Are you well?
Yes.
We're both fine.
He's just like his father,...
tall and strong.
Hernán,...
the marquis must see the dress.
Today you're precious,...
precious.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, full of grace,...
God is with you, blessed are you among women.
please, dear God, get us out of here.
Drummer!
That's enough.
The God you pray to is the same One who brought you to this Hell.
~ Leave the kid alone. ~ Why?
Because I order it, as your superior.
Don't preach to me, Juan.
What's up, Víctor, what's your problem?
It's nothing.
Let me see.
This is infected,...
if you keep messing with it it'll turn gangrenous.
That illness soon won't have much importance...
because I'm going to die, Juan.
But at least you want to enter Hell healthy, I say.
Relax, relax.
I'd rather die on the battlefield than being cooped up here.
Come on, run, there.
~ I'm the official in charge here. ~ What's going on?
Where are you taking them?
We're going out there, to the patio.
Have they paid?
No.
The courier didn't arrive --- you know what that means, don't you?
Quick, get out of here.
They can't take them, they're my men!
Come in.
Sit down, please.
I want to talk with you about your upcoming marriage.
How about it?
You've got nothing to say to me?
Well,...
I'm very excited about my new situation, and...
~ I hope to be the best wife... ~ For God's sake, Irene, who believes you?
I know your heart and all the rest of your body throbs for that gardener,...
I also know you'll be unhappy, you won't be able to live up to expectations, Irene,...
men are not content to walk with you arm-in-arm through the court,...
and it's very hard to make with the sacrifices we have to,...
with someone we don't love, believe me,...
I know.
I feel pity for you, Irene,...
and that's why I'm willing to help you.
What are you trying to say?
I can make things so that you can start a new life with that peasant, if you want, very far from here.
But I can't, the Cardinal will tell me...
Would you rather marry a man you don't love,...
and be a sex object?
You'll leave tonight in my carriage,...
You could go to France and begin a new life...
full of love, happiness, and all that crap...
and I'll handle everything,...
I'll make sure the gardener is here on time. Let's go.
Until the time comes, no one can know of your intentions.
We'll keep up rigorously with the expected activities related to the marriage, you got that?
Any doubt in your mind?
Why are you doing this, Marquesa?
For you,...
my dear,...
your happiness is mine.
What a surprise, your Eminence...
it's an honor to welcome you into my humble abode.
An interesting light and shade,...
by José de Rivera, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, I acquired it in Naples.
An excellent painter,...
a little funereal for my taste,...
it really suits you.
The property titles for your new lands...
along with the serfs who inhabit them.
Thank you for your generosity, your Eminence.
You'll be able to enjoy them once the wedding has been performed and I have in my power...
the medallion.
Tomorrow, then?
It's very appropriate for your new life.
We give them the money, they gives us the hostages,...
and we go.
Sátur, there'll be lots of Portuguese soldiers there...
in addition, armed,...
and in a castle...it'll be very dangerous.
Stop that speech.
Didn't you want to go rescue them? --- Well, that's where we're going to.
Now if what you want to do is fill me with fear,...
and you already know Someone up there...
His help is necessary for us.
Listen,...
when we're finished,...
you're going after Gabi and Estuarda?
I'm sure that the Americas aren't that big...
Well, of course not,...
I'll run across them both, for sure.
If these people would only give us some water,...
Would you have a bit of water for the boy?
Of course, man, of course.
Your son?
No, no way, I don't deserve this boy.
It's no life for a kid, right?
After spending twenty years hauling crap from one place to another, I can tell.
Sátur, Sátur, I'm not feeling well.
You've gone white, get down.
Down, boy, down, what's up with you?
Alonso!
Have you eaten something?
~ No. ~ Since when?
Since yesterday morning.
And why didn't you say something, my dear lad?
Walk, come on, and we have more than enough food.
This kid needs a little rest.
Maybe you'll have to eat something too, right?
Well, no...
Come on, man, we have meat!
Well, but... just enough to taste it.
Come on, of course.
Emilio, take charge of this guy's horse.
Hey, that smells good, right?
It tastes even better.
Well, let's just eat and recover, we're in a hurry.
"Opposing pikes to horses,...
"facing arbalests with spears,...
"with the soul united through the same clergy,...
"and with blood which flows to protect the kingdom.
"Borgoña's flag,...
"flaming in the wind...
"Sons of Santiago...
"Troop of pikes...
"to fight for your brother, to die for your king,...
"to live in peace in this great empire..."
Load weapons.
Aim.
Fire!
Estuarda had a sister in that village,...
maybe the three of them went there.
Yeah, but if we don't know which village,...
we're no better off.
And the letter doesn't mention any particular site.
I've read it a hundred times, but Sátur never mentions any details.
How long since you've seen Alonso?
Since last night, why?
What's going on?
Would you tell me what's going on?
Alonso read the letter,...
he's with Sátur.
I don't know how or why, but...
he's with Sátur.
Commissioner, thank you for inviting us.
On behalf of all the men I'd like to congratulate you...
on the occasion of your marriage.
Thank you.
Although I may be absent because of the ceremony, I want the whole thing pursued to the end, agreed?
Of course, sir, there won't be any problem.
~ I hope not. ~ Commissioner...
Seize him!
Sir...commissioner!
Sir! Commissioner!
Martín.
Milagros...
check to see if the tablecloth is already in place on the table.
Is Irene all right?
Yes, Irene's fine.
We managed to fake her virginity past the doctor,...
but tomorrow is the wedding night, and there's no trick for that.
Before that happens, you have to be far away from here, like we've already talked about.
No, no, I'm not going to let them kill you.
Martín, please!
Only idiots surrender to be killed without complaint.
~ She's getting married, Martín, she's getting married! ~ That's all right.
I'll go tonight.
I'm going to miss you, Aunt.
And I you, Son.
Catalina, Martín.
You're here, the family's always united.
Ma'am.
Martín, this is your new uniform, I want you to wear it tomorrow, on the wedding day.
To save time, I've put written instructions for your role in the wedding...
they're in the uniform's pocket.
Martín, you DO know how to read?
Yes.
Well, congratulations,...
and read them with much attention to detail...
we can't afford any mistake, agreed, Martín?
Madam Marquesa.
Yes, what is it?
They're looking for you.
Madam Marquesa.
What now?
I have to talk with you,...
about a very grave matter.
You're finishing eating it?
Yes.
And what time did you say your mother was coming?
Late, she's working on the wedding.
Murillo, have you seen Alonso?
No.
You see, this is very important, my dear,...
you're sure that Alonso said nothing to you,...
that he was going to go somewhere?
What's happening?
Last night, did you see him last night?
Is something happening, Gonzalo?
Sátur ran off yesterday, and I think Alonso went with him.
Maybe he went to look for Estuarda and Gabi.
And how do you know that Estuarda and Gabi have left?
Why, they told me that themselves,...
that they've left for the Americas, that they've headed south to catch a ship.
~ Hey, Cipri! ~ How's it going, Sebastián?
You already know where to go.
~ Any news? ~ Well, nothing, the rumor is they have those Spanish soldiers...
in the castle of the Knights of Jerez.
What are you saying?
Well, there were shots heard there this morning.
Those bastard Portuguese!
They're shooting them already!
Quiet, please!
I promise you I'll find the money,...
I promise you.
All the same, Gonzalo,...
those men are dead, just like...
and maybe Juan has also died,...
and if not, he doesn't have much time left.
We can't do anything,...
there's no time, Gonzalo.
Who's going to save them?
Who?
Go on, go look for Alonso.
Go get Alonso, Gonzalo!
Hey, there, at the castle!
I'm Spanish!
I'm bringing the ransom money!
Hide yourself.
The money!
I'm bringing the money from the king of Spain!
Maybe there's nobody home.
Don't shoot, for God's sake.
I'm Spanish.
Do you understand my language?
I'm bringing the gold!
I'm Spanish!
I've got the money, there, behind me in the cart!
Where are my countrymen?
The Spaniards,...
are they here?
Who said that?
I didn't say anything!
No, don't shoot!
I didn't do anything!
By the mother who bore me, they've robbed me!
They've robbed me!
The money, they've robbed me!
They've robbed me, those junk dealers!
They must be near here!
If we chase them, we'll catch them.
My God, they've robbed me!
No, don't hurt him, please!
No, not the boy, don't shoot!
Don't shoot, for God's sake.
We're Spaniards!
From Spain.
No one knows I'm alive until I give the order.
Very well.
It seems that God's on your side, sir.
This stopped the shot.
Yes, Nuño saved my life.
We also have the guy who attacked you.
~ You guys are next. ~ Next, no --- do it now.
Do it now, kill me!
Shoot me! Shoot me!
Look me in the eyes and kill me!
Enough.
You had to let him.
Don't say that!
Don't think I'd let any of my soldiers die in such a stupid manner,...
least of all you.
Whether you like it or not, you'll be at my side until the end.
~ Is that an order? ~ Yes, an order.
You don't fear death?
I have no reason to go on living.
You don't have a wife, a family?
I had a wife but I lost her,...
I wasn't a model husband,...
I didn't know how to love her.
Why have you enlisted?
To erase my mistake,...
or to end up dead,...
and it seems to me that I'll achieve it very soon, Juan.
How about you?
Is someone waiting for you?
My fiancée,...
she's the best,...
the only woman who's meant something in my life.
You'd have to see her, she's...
alone in her beauty, brave,...
she has courage,...
is strong-minded,...
and has great character.
I made her a promise I won't be able to keep.
What was that?
To go back,...
to get back home.
Your Eminence, your lunch.
Leave it on the table.
Your Eminence.
The lunch isn't to your liking, your Eminence?
I had to yank out his entrails to get him to tell me who sent him.
I'm glad to see you alive,...
and so we can fulfill our agreement without any further delay.
You have a rather poor image of me, your Eminence.
Did you really think I'd be so stupid as to hide the medallion in my room?
I ask you to forgive me,...
surely I have judge you unfairly.
Starting now I'll take for granted that you'll fulfill my expectations.
What's this?
A confession in which you confess to having murdered me,...
in case I don't get to fulfill your expectations.
I want to be a good husband for a very long time.
Mistrust is a unreliable ally,...
and very harmful.
I agree totally, your Eminence,...
between gentlemen it should not exist.
You're more useful to me alive.
Thank you, your Eminence.
I don't foresee a time when I could be part of your family.
Your Eminence.
Leave it, Aunt,...
or else, I'll take it away.
Man, of course you're going to take it,...
this is very good cloth.
This you can take advantage of when you're on the run...
sell it, or whatever.
Be very careful, Martín, dear.
Yes, well, never mind. We have to wait.
That's always the case, Alonso.
They jail you for a while, letting the fear build up, then they set yuou free...
because we're not worth the pain of it.
And we're getting room service, like in an inn...
A little water?
This tastes really bad!
We're going to count...chains?
I don't want to play, Sátur,...
I want to go home.
And we're going to go home, moron.
No, that's not true,...
we're not leaving here and you know it.
They've got nothing against us.
Besides, the captain seems like a good guy.
We're going to be set free at once, or if not, when the time comes.
He's not a nice guy.
That's not true, it's a setback,...
there are good people everywhere, Alonso, everywhere.
Sátur, I don't trust anyone,...
not even the Red Eagle, whose fault it is we're here.
Don't talk shit, that's not true.
It's my shame that I caused all this.
Of all the bad things I've done in my life, this one is the worst,...
the worst by far.
What was that?
A shot?
But a shot that sounds like that? It may be...from an armor made of Portuguese steel,...
so that it sounds so strong when it falls to the ground.
That means they're killing the hostages, and they'll kill us, too.
That's not going to happen, it won't happen.
Trust me, Alonso.
I trust no one!
Nuño, be careful,...
you're not fully recovered.
I'm fine, thanks.
We'll look for someone you can practice with.
I already practice with the commissioner,...
I don't need anyone else.
~ Maybe the teacher knows... ~ Didn't you hear me?
I practice with the commissioner when I want, how I want, and where I can...
if you won't let us practice here.
Nuño,...
you won't be able do it.
Don't get in my way.
You won't see the commissioner again.
Why? Why not?
Lucrecia.
Leave us alone.
I'm sorry.
Son of a whore, I hate you!
Son of a whore!
I was missing you.
Me too.
Mom!
Nuño.
We're never going to do this, Lucrecia,...
we would drive him crazy.
This can't happen again.
Never.
What are they going to do with us, Sátur?
It's just routine, Alonso,...
just routine,...
what they usually do with all prisoners.
They'll take us for a walk, just to get some air,...
a little exercise, and back inside we go, like always.
Sir, we didn't do anything.
Yeah, we're not up to anything!
Why are they holding onto us?
You ought to let the boy go!
It's been a pleasure to have you in my ranks.
~ Thanks. ~ Thank you, captain.
Don't stop.
Let's go, to the front.
Get walking, move it.
Do they have the stomach to shoot down a boy?
Alonso!
Is that Juan?
He's alive!
Juan!
Cipri,...
are you all right?
Witness that I ask God to free me from this suffering,...
but...
Where are you going so weighed down?
I'm leaving town, Cipri,
to anywhere else.
In the end all of you are leaving?
Take it, I want you to have it.
No, what are you saying, boy?
Take this, take it for yourself, I don't want it anymore.
Good, go ahead.
Go with God, boy, be careful.
Hey, this was here.
~ No, trash it, relax. ~ But it fell, it's here, it's for you.
From Irene: wait at the north gate from town at five.
Flee with me, I'm waiting for you.
Coachman, hurry!
Let's go!
What are they going to do to them, Sátur?
Well, I don't know, I imagine that...
They're going to execute them.
But who knows, these Portuguese are very strange.
They're strange about everything: how they talk, how they eat, everything.
but don't you worry, Alonso, we're going to get out of here.
Not up against the wall!
We haven't done anything!
We weren't soldiers!
No, they're civilians!
No, not the boy, I beg you!
Kill me, but not the boy!
Get into the row!
~ Sátur, they're going to kill us. ~ Not really.
Let the boy go.
Your Majesty, do you want your new shoes with appealing satin or with taffeta?
Everything will be just as you ordered, your Majesty.
Very well, you may retire.
I want to be aware of everything that's happening.
His Eminence, Cardinal Mendoza.
Your Eminence.
Your Majesty.
It's been a while since we've seen you here.
I assure you it was worth the wait, I have great news.
I've managed to get a hold of both parts of your medallion.
Its contents are only for the crown.
Of course, your Majesty,...
and you know that in me you have your most faithful servant...
this object is yours, and I have every intention of handing it over to you.
I trust, however, that the crown...
will compensate me for my services...
with your support for my candidacy for the papacy.
Excuse me, your Majesty,...
they're looking for his Eminence.
I'm discussing matters of vital importance...
make him wait, whoever it cis.
It's your niece.
Go attend to your niece. You may leave.
I hope to see that piece in our next meeting.
Your Majesty.
I hope you've got a good reason for interrupting my audience with the king.
I was looking for you at the residence but they said you were here.
It's very important, Uncle.
What's happened?
Talk, you'll feel better.
I can't marry the commissioner, Uncle.
Calm down.
I don't love him.
You're not going to do anything that you don't want to.
Come, let's go eat together...
and try to address this issue with the serenity it deserves.
Forgive me, Alonso,...
I'm a jerk.
Sátur, you're nothing like a jerk.
Ready!
Aim!
No!
Captain!
Up there, kill him!
Reload, fire!
Alonso, let's scram.
"When you hear the heat of battle,...
"or if you see a friend fall,...
"rainwater will bring my love to you,...
"and in breezes you'll hear my voice."
Red Eagle!
"And at the end of the war, if you come back or not, I'll be...
"your wife or your widow, because I waited for you."
Cannons!
Does this meet with your approval?
It's a sober and austere wedding, just like you asked me for.
I would have preferred the Capuchins, but with the hurry, we've done what we were able to do.
Lucrecia,...
we're running late, aren't we?
Everything's ready, all we need is the bride...
and relax, they often arrive late, it's quite normal.
And Nuño?
He's in his room,...
and isn't disposed to leave it.
And now, if you'll forgive me,...
I'm busy enough preparing the wedding.
What?
Ma'am, we can't find Miss Irene anywhere.
She'll show up. Maybe she is at confession, you know how she is.
Catalina, these lilies?
May God hear us, ma'am.
Long live the king!
He's asleep at the moment.
Too many emotions for a child.
Master, I...
Forgive me.
I'm very sorry about what's happened.
If I could change these last few days...
I don't know.
Killing the bishop was the first among lots of errors.
I only wanted to help my family, yet look at what I accomplished: nothing.
I can't stay with you, I'm not worthy...
so I'll go back to living on the streets, it's where I belong.
Say goodbye to Alonso and Margarita, please.
No, Sátur, your place is here.
Each one of us made a decision:...
you, to hand over the money, and me to save those men.
Don't you understand?
We've done the right thing.
If I hadn't gone looking for you both, my son would be dead.
I've never done anything right in my whole life...
I'm a failure as a man,...
I've lost Gabi, Estuarda,...
and it's my fault that you could have lost Alonso.
Sátur, my son is alive, partly thanks to you.
Yeah, sure, you've lost your family, but you've done the right thing.
It's my fault that Juan's dead.
You know Juan de Calatrava?
I'm not going to forgive myself in this life, Master,...
even though it's me who should be dead.
Excuse me, you know Juan de Calatrava?
Didn't he come along with you?
Many men fell, and...
I'm sorry, Miss, he was a great captain and a great man.
Forgive me, Margarita.
Gonzalo, he's dead!
Relax, I'm here,...
I'm here.
Don't cry, don't cry,...
I said I'd be back,...
and I have returned.
Lucrecia.
~ Yes? ~ What's going on, where's Irene?
I don't know, I told you that brides can be slow.
Many of the servants are white as sheets, what's going on, Lucrecia?
Under the circumstances, and if that's what you want,...
it's a bit awkward to explain, Hernán, but...
it seems to me you've been left in the lurch.
~ What? ~ Nobody's found the bride.
We've looked everywhere, this delay is beyond normal.
Looks like Irene isn't going to show up,...
so she must be planning something else.
She's just arrived.
As you see, my dear, nobody leaves me in the lurch.
Remember, I've always done the best for you, my daughter,...
trust in me.
Irene.
Begin as soon as possible.
Dear brothers and sisters,...
we're filled with joy to join this celebration...
of the joining of Hernán and Irene...
on this the day they have decided to embark upon matrimony.
Juan de Calatrava?
Yes, that's me.
The king wishes to see you personally.
Tell him you haven't seen me.
~ Sir... ~ Juan, go on.
I'm sure it's important.
Well, he'll come look for me if I drop out of sight.
Stay here until I get back, agreed?
Be careful, for the love of God.
Juan.
Juan!
You're looking for Juan?
Sorry.
Margarita,...
I've changed,...
don't be scared of me, please.
Don't be scared of me, it's nothing to do with me as the husband I was, believe me.
I missed you, believe me.
Forgive me.
Who am I?
Well, what are you doing?
Why did you ruin everything?
By God, Master, we've spent months working on all this!
But what has it got me?
They almost killed my son.
I'm not going to make that mistake ever again.
Listen, Master, we're all a little bit confused,...
by the most recent events, but...
that's why we're not seeing things straight.
No, Sátur, it's over.
Abandoned.
Why?
No, you can't just drop it!
You hear me? You can't just do that to me.
If you don't want to know who you really are, it's your business...
I still need to know,...
I need to have a mission, I need a purpose in life again, you hear me?
Because without Gabi or Estuarda I've got nothing, Master.
Do it for me.
We have to organize what we know, there's quite a bit.
We know you have a sister,...
a girl,...
Ana.
God says this:...
children will be born,...
the fruits of our love,...
and we, the husbands, love the wives,...
like Christ loved His Church and gave His life for them.
We don't know who took away that girl.
Don't we?
~ A man. ~ A man came looking and took her away.
He asked me to put the bracelet on another baby and I did it.
We have to find this guy,...
we just have to.
Your Eminence?
Who is it?
Let's review, what else do we already know?
I remember that the girl had a birthmark on her head,...
as if from a whim.
We KNOW she had a birthmark on her head!
Did you see it?
Hernán, receive this ring as a symbol of my love and fidelity to you.
From now on your name will be Irene.
Don't worry, Master, you'll find your sister,...
and I'm sure that you both together'll make the commissioner a good man.
Irene, receive this ring as proof of my love and fidelity toward you.
I declare you husband and wife.
Amen.
If only life had gone another way.
If only.
I want to take everything I own, my palace,...
my lands, everything.
Do you love me?
I went to war and came back alive just to marry you,...
but I'm exausted.
I'm just realizing one thing,...
this is going to be our last mission together, Master!
Montignac.
That's the escutcheon of a marqués.
You're a marqués?
Lucrecia, this is no longer your son,...
He no longer belongs to you.
I'm your wife before the eyes of God and the law,...
but I won't come back to you, never.
I'm going to the Americas, come what may,...
I'll try to give you this child as soon as possible,...
they say it's the best way of sealing a sacred union.
How cold is it in your room if it needs heating up?
This town is full of wretched people,...
clean it up.
Catalina!
Tell the king that tomorrow we'll have the Red Eagle here.
Sátur, shoot!
Come on, shoot!
Shoot, Sátur!
Close your eyes.
I want to ask you a question,...
it's gone around in my head since I met you...
where do you find so many red feathers?
You're laughing?
What a bird!
