The Saragossa Manuscript

Forward!
Follow me!

You are a prisoner.

No resistance, please.

Can you hear me?

Wait a minute, friend,

until I finish
admiring these drawings.

What about the enemy?

Carry on the pursuit!

Interesting.

Very much so.

Too bad I don't know Spanish.

Look, this is about
my grandfather.

"The Count Olla Vedez who,
at that time,

had not yet brought
the settlers to the Sierra... "

Captain!

They're surrounding us.
What shall we do?

Why don't you close the door?
It's drafty!

Where was I?

Here, I think.

"... the Sierra Morena,

"a steep range between Andalusia
and La Mancha.

"At that time,
it was populated,

"with robbers and gyp"

Thank you, "gypsies...

"and gypsies, of whom
it was said,

would eat the corpses
of killed wanderers. "

Will we make it before dark?

Before dark?

Three da y s aren't enough
to cross these mountains.

Where will we sleep?

It becomes dark very quickly.

Sometimes you can find
a deserted inn at the roadside,

because infernal ghosts
chased out the inn keepers,

and when evil ghosts...

So what?

A traveler who comes here should
be prepared for the very worst.

I am not scared of them.

I can handle them.

Listen to Mosquito!

Saddle the mules and follow me,
and hurry!

Sir, demons rave there

and in visible hands push you
into the abyss.

The devils have goats' hooves,
not feet.

Let's go through Estramadura.

The sights are prettier there.

We'll go straight on
and stop here,

at the cork oaks,
where we will have our food.

Then we'll spend the night
at Venta Quemada.

And the next day,

get supplies and prepare
to cross the mountains.

And in three da y s' time,
exhausted but happy,

we'll ride triumphantly
into Castile.

That's my plan and nothing
is going to change it!

He'll ruin us.

Since King Don Philip V
honored me

with the rank of captain
of the Walloon Guard,

it is my duty to find the
shortest way to Madrid.

My young lord,

maybe the king has honored you
with a captains rank,

but reason has not done
the same for your brains.

It would be good
to quench our thirst.

Water isn't good after fruit.

Where is the mule attendant?

I don't like all this.

He has gone off
with all our supplies.

Sir, evil ghosts
have kidnapped poor Mosquito.

He's escaped!

Damned rascal,

I didn't like his shrewd eyes
right from the start.

Why didn't I listen to
Brother Jerome de la Trinidad,

holy monk and preacher?

Mosquito!

He said the officers
of the guard were heretics.

Shut up, stupid!

I'll catch him and break his
bones if he fled from fear.

Don't leave me alone here, sir.

Then you go.

No, sir, I will not go.

Well, we'll talk later.

Mosquito!

Two foreign ladies
who are staying here

would like to invite you to supper.

Will you please follow me,
caballero?

Se�or caballero,
thank you

for your kind acceptance
of this modest supper.

Appease your hunger, sir.

You probably haven't eaten
since early morning.

Are you surprised
at our meeting?

My name is Emina
and this is my sister, Zibelda.

We live in Tunisia,
but we come from Grenada,

where our relatives still adhere
to our forefathers' faith.

Our journey
is an important secret

which we want to confide
to your honesty.

That was what we expected,
se�or caballero.

I took a seat near you to tell
you our family's story.

Listen carefully.

Does this lock et contain
a picture of your mistress?

This jewel is a gift
from my mother

and it contains
a fragment of a genuine relic.

Does it frighten you?

Only evil ghosts
are afraid of relics.

We are Muslim, so don't be
surprised at my sister.

Too bad our closest relative
follows a strange faith.

Am I your relative?

You are.

Your mother was
a Gomelez.

We also belong
to that family.

I've never heard
of it.

Aren't you wrong,
dear ladies?

No.

I promised to tell you
the story of our ancestors,

but I think it would be better
if I start with my own.

Sit down.

We were waiting for you.

Had you chosen another road
out of fear,

we'd have lost
respect for you.

You are
flattering me, Emina,

but I never turn off the road
I have chosen.

But why are you
so concerned with my courage?

We are concerned
about you.

Me?

Maybe you will feel less
flattered when I tell you

that you are the first man
we have ever met.

My sister speaks the truth.

We never had a brother.

And lock ed up in the harem
since we were children,

we never had the slightest idea
about your sex.

But nature gave us
the inclination to love.

We gave each other
our love.

This is beginning
to look interesting.

My sister and I
love each other dearly.

Seeing this,
our mother said,

we would either remain maidens
or marry one man

Her assurance
somewhat calmed our anxiety.

The head of the family agreed
that we could marry one man,

provided he was a Gomelez.

Is it...

Is it me?

It is.

This is the idea
we liked best.

But my religion,
my faith!

Don't you
like us, Alfonso?

Aren�t we nice?

It's nearly dawn.

Time is too precious
to be wasted on idle talk.

We cannot become
your spouses unless

you accept
the Prophet's law.

You will be allowed
to see us in your dreams only.

But you have to keep our existence secret.

Do you agree?

Pass the chalice!

But remember your promise.

My dear cousin,
why aren't you Muslim?

How happy I would be,
if seeing you...

on Emina's lap,

I too could call my self
your wife.

Come with me, my son.

Woe to him who,
in his wicked inflexibility,

refuses to confess his sins.

Do not spend the nights
under the skies.

And beware of all temptations,
as the Lord has lifted His hand.

I will do as you say, Father,
but first...

my belly requires
refreshment.

Think about
your soul's salvation

and I'll look after
your body's needs.

Strange things were happening
last night.

Did you stay in the deserted inn
by any chance?

I visited Venta Quemada.

But I have my reasons

for being reluctant
to explain it to you.

Devils are tempters.

Beware of Satan
and pride, my son!

Yes, yes,
beware of Satan.

I am amazed at
your courage

Tell me, young man, who are you
and who raised you up?

Do you believe in ghosts?

Me? Why should I?

Have no fear.

This one is possessed, and I am
chasing the devil out of him.

Pasheko!

In the name of Our Lord,

I order you to drive
the goats uphill!

Here is an example of how
the Angel of Darkness

is still ruling
this unfortunate neighborhood.

I am giving him
much of my time.

I think I will be able
to save him.

He's been making
great progress lately.

He milks these goats?
Yes.

Can you satisfy
my curiosity, my son?

I was asking for
details of your life.

You honor me, Father,

and you will
know everything.

I come from a family who had
more prominent men than wealth.

My father, a colonel
of the Walloon Guard,

was an extremely kind and
honorable gentleman.

In the name of Van Worden!

You'll pa y
for this, rascal!

A horse, bring me
a horse!

What are you
waiting for, cowards?

I have a feeling this is going to
end badly.

Se�or, I request you grant me
a moment to talk.

-
-

Se�or, I do not have
the pleasure of knowing you.

You'll know me
in a while.

Se�or.

After you.

After you.

Your coach, se�or,
has outrun my carriage.

There is something offensive
in that,

and I would like you
to justify it.

Se�or, it seems it wasn't
my coachmen who outran yours,

but yours who were dragging
along and were left behind.

I admit you are right.

Too bad that you didn't say that
before I drew my sword.

Se�or, I understand you
perfectly well.

Excuse me for
having taken your time.

Oh, don't mention it.

May I?

But of course, se�or.

I'll be getting back to my roast
which may not be quite cold yet.

Water!

Why did he have his coach
chopped up?

He'd be more comfortable.

After it lost the race,
he couldn't look at it anymore.

Water!

I would have sold it.

A nobleman like him never sells,
he just destroys.

Everything I have
for a drop of water.

Did you hear that?

If you had water,
you'd be a rich man.

He's mad to start
all these duels.

If you have a master
who likes collecting wounds,

you have to be
ready for anything.

God damn it!

I'd sell my soul
for a drop of water.

I have invited you all
to attend my wedding,

every one with whom I have had
the pleasure of crossing swords

at least once and whom, of
course, I haven�t killed.

You came to rejoice with me.
I need your advice.

Here is a letter
from the may or of Bayon,

asking me to take possession
of my ancestral castle

in the Ardennes.

Should I leave
the king's service

or leave my heritage
to its own fate?

If you vote...

I'll do
as you advise.

Please hurry, se�ores,
or the meat will be quite cold.

Farewell, my king and lord,
farewell, sunny Spain,

and I invite you to a feast
at my castle in the Ardennes.

Who will pa y?

This is a great loss!
This is going to ruin me!

Follow me!

Nothing can equal
our sunny Spain.

This was a stupid idea.

I don't think
I'll ever sing

a serenade
to the most beautiful se�orita.

Hush.

True, it's not
the same.

I don't envy
the bride and groom.

Long live
the bride and groom!

I wish your son
a prompt return to Spain.

Se�ora, our son
will be named Alfonso.

Se�ores, continue your feast.

I, a true Spaniard,
have to fulfill my duties.

Se�ora, this rain reminds me
of the siege of Lerida,

when I stood up to my waist
in water.

They were beautiful times.

I was famous
for my bravery then.

Exactly nine months later,
I was born.

You told us a nice story.

It seems your father
is a man of honor.

Have you inherited
this virtue?

Boasting is not a feature of
a Walloon Guard officer, Father.

Before you start
your own story,

I'll ask Pasheko
to bring you some fresh mil k.

No, I better start
straight away.

I was brought up away from home
to learn the way s of a nobleman.

"... and the lid flew open.
I saw a skeleton coming out.

"I drew my sword, but the
skeleton tore off its left hand,

"using it as a weapon,
and fiercely attack ed me.

"I was defending my self bravely

"when another skeleton
jumped out,

"snapped off
a rib of the first,

and struck me with
all his might. "

Welcome, son!

It's been so long,
so many years

My dearest son!

You didn't forget
your holy alphabet, my son?

Or my sophisticated
teachings?

No, I've been
studying hard.

Show us then, son.

Very well,
excellent.

Dear Eureko, leave manly things
to men.

The time has come
to show you the ultimate stroke.

It's extremely complicated,
but once you've mastered it,

you'll be
one of the best fencers.

En garde!

Dear Eureko!

I fought 130...
yes, my son, 130 duels.

I'll give you
all my experience now.

Allez!

I failed again.

You were
the finest fencer.

Don't worry, Alfonso will
take over with honor.

Return to
your fatherland, son.

Spain is the loveliest country
in the world.

I'll do my best to help you
become a Walloon Guard captain.

Thus I came here,
and last night

Well, dear son, I've become
very interested in your story.

I can also see that you received
a good education.

However, as you spent last night
at the Venta Quemada...

What was I saying?

Oh, I am afraid you could have
been haunted by two hanged men.

I wouldn't like you to have the
same fate as Pasheko.

Don't be afraid, Father.

My mother told me that
in the old days,

you may have come across
possessed people,

but today they are no more.

What?

Haven�t you seen the awful
possessed Pasheko,

whose eye the devils
have gouged out?

Pasheko!

His story may contribute
to the salvation of your soul.

I will order him to begin.

Pasheko!

In the name of Our Lord,

I order you to tell your story
to our guest.

I was born in C�rdoba.
My father was prosperous.

You may leave
that out, Pasheko.

His mother died
three years ago,

and his father
decided to marry a young widow.

Camilla de Tormes.

They were
wed in Seville.

A few days later, my father
returned with his new wife...

and her sister, Inezillia.

My dear wife, my lady, I bought
some mules for your coach,

and for you, lovely Inezillia,
a sapphire ring.

You are the best husband, se�or,
and brother-in-law.

Inezillia is ecstatic,
aren't you, Inezillia?

Thank you
with all my heart.

Do not eat fruit, Inezillia,
you know it is bad for you.

I am glad
you are happy.

Camilla, we would like to hear
your songs,

as we always do after lunch.

Oh yes, Camilla,
do sing for us!

Come with me, sister,
to get the instruments.

I beg your permission, Father,
to marry beautiful Inezillia.

We will go to Madrid and start
a wonderful life there.

Forget it, son.
First of all, it would be

unbecoming for you to be
your father's brother in law.

Secondly, church laws ban
such alliances, and thirdly

I love her more
than my own life.

And thirdly...

I do not want you
to marry Inezillia.

Don't worry, Pasheko.

If your father won't allow you
to marry my sister,

there are no obstacles at all
to your being her lover.

Se�ora, Inezillia is an angel
of purity, how could I

Leave it to me, Pasheko,

my sister will listen
to my request,

which I will pronounce
with pain in my heart.

Pasheko, Pasheko,
who can resist you?

Make it
shot, Pasheko.

Now tell me how soon after
your father set out

on the trip to Madrid, taking
his wife and her sister along.

The da y s without Inezillia
were unbearable.

I missed her and suffered.

Manuela!

In Venta Quemada?

That's where you are
to wait for him.

Cruel gangs are roving
the Sierra Morena.

It's quiet since those two thugs
the Zota brothers, were hanged.

Will Inezillia be accompanying
my father?

Yes, se�or.

No more delay.

Inezillia.

We'll always be together.

Can I eat at your place?

And spend the night?

Se�or, by St. Parazito,
don't do it!

Have you no clean bedclothes?

I am ready even
for the king's court.

Well?

Here, ghosts rave
all night.

Ghosts?

Even we go
to the next village at night.

It's scary here,
at night.

My friend,
we'll sleep with ghosts.

As you wish, se�or,

but allow me and my wife
to leave the inn for the night.

I'll keep the ghosts
from stealing things.

Where are you going?

Se�or, don't play around
with ghosts. I'm scared.

Then go with them,
you weakling.

Pasheko, the moment
has come.

Your father is asleep and
Inezillia is waiting for you.

Come on, come on,
come on

Everything is
going well, Pasheko.

Just look.

Indeed.

I'll tell you
when the time is right.

Pasheko, Pasheko.
We are waiting for you.

Inezillia, do you really desire
a lover?

You will be lovers
but I will always be with you.

Kiss!

Hard!

You love Inezillia
and I love you.

She will refuse you nothing,
but remember my condition.

Well, son,
what do you think?

I think you would get scared
in such circumstances, too.

A nobleman
is afraid of nothing.

Then let Pasheko continue
with his story.

I may hear
something interesting.

Pasheko!

In the name of God,
I order you to continue.

I ran for my life
from right under the gallows,

and roamed far off the road
all da y.

I know what
you want to say.

Had I come earlier, there'd be
a feast fit for a king.

Indeed.

Now the ghosts
have taken over

And you are spending the night
in the next village.

Allow me, se�or,
to leave you.

Was there a
nobleman from C�rdoba

and two women yesterday?

Try to remember
a nobleman from C�rdoba.

My wife left your supper
on the stove, se�or.

On the stove.

Pasheko!

Make room for me
right near you.

I am trembling
with cold.

It's me,
your Inezillia.

Be gone, Satan!

You are chasing us away?

Come on, sister,
we'll light the fireplace.

Well, my son?

I can see you now realize
the power of Satan.

It is getting late.

I am not offering you
a place here.

Pasheko's screams wouldn't
let you close your eyes.

Go to the chapel.

To the chapel?

To the chapel.

But I'll hear him
there too.

He has
such a terrible yell.

Son, I know what
I'm telling you.

Oh yes,
to the chapel.

You will sleep
quietly there.

Kneel down at the altar,
confess your sins and repent.

There's still time
to prevent evil.

I don't think I have sinned,
unless I did it in my dreams.

Who is there?

We're cold, it is us,
your mistresses.

Go back to your gallows,
I want to get some sleep!

You sneer at us,
because you're in a chapel!

But come join us
out in the graveyard.

At your service.

But tomorrow!

I can see you're nervous,
my son

And it's not surprising.

Last night, wicked spirits
were up to terrible mischief.

The goats
were bleating.

Devils may assume
various forms, my son.

They somehow stay away
from me, Father.

I can see you still have faith,
but I'm worried

you won't be able
to keep it.

I will, I will.

I don't want to keep you
any longer.

You have a long journey.

By the day after tomorrow,

you'll have crossed
the Sierra Morena.

You'll find some supplies
by your saddle.

What's the shortest way
to Madrid?

I have never been to Madrid,
my son

I know, however,
you have to go...

that way.

Thank you...

Father.

But remember, my son,
that God has raised his arm.

Se�or Alfonso Van Worden?

Yes, captain of
the Walloon Guard.

You're under arrest

in the name of
the Holy Inquisition.

Se�or, give us
your sword.

Gentlemen, se�ores,
I'm a nobleman!

What an incredibly
noisy sinner.

I hope he'll be as talkative
in front of the Holy Tribunal.

According to our system,

we allow the prisoner
the freedom to accuse himself.

His confession, even though
slightly forced,

has its advantages,

when the prisoner is willing
to name his collaborators.

Do you know
two African princesses?

The longer your silence,
the worse it'll be for you.

I can see I'm going
to have to help you.

Let's start
the first trial.

You're going
to faint soon,

but with salt and alcohol,
we'll bring you round.

Let's start
the second trial...

Alfonso!
You're saved, Alfonso!

Se�or Zoto is coming
to rescue you.

Dear Alfonso!

You've shown great courage,
dear cousin.

This is no time
for kisses.

By the time the guards arrive,
you should be far away.

This is Se�or Zoto.

Se�or Alfonso, I have the honor
of introducing my brothers,

Chico...

Muma and Chico.

How come, Zoto?

Your brothers were hanged,
weren't they?

You heard right.

But as you can see for yourself,
they're fine.

But I saw them myself!

What you saw were two shepherds,
hung to pacify the neighborhood.

This is unbelievable.

Undoubtedly, it's thanks
to our horses.

I'm pleased to see
you are yourself again.

Bless you, se�or.

They're surrounding us.

Chico, you cover us
while we get to the horses.

Where's my sword?

My sword!

Kiss me.

And me.

Oh, how happy I am.

Are you pleased
about our meeting, cousin?

Cousin,
this locket is horrible.

It's cooling our passion
towards you.

Are you happy, cousin?

Yes, although I must say
that the end of the night

I spent with you,
didn't please me at all.

You'd better accuse us
with pleasures.

It wasn't so nice
in the morning.

Let's say no more
about it.

Here's a plait made of our hair,
a talisman

to remind you of us.

Talisman?

It's widely assumed
one can only love one woman.

It's a fallacy.

I fell in love
with you both equally.

My heart sees no difference.

Adopt our faith.

You would sit on the throne
in Tunis

among harems, gardens
and fountains.

No, no.

Let's not talk about kingdoms
flooded with sunshine.

We're in the abyss,
close to Hell.

How dare you be in the company
of Golomez women!

Cousin, you're
done for!

Forgive us.

Either you'll be killed
like a coward with an axe

and your corpse hung next
to the Zota brothers

at the mercy of crows
and devilish powers, or

But the brothers...

Or you'll drink the potion
from this chalice.

Gulp it down!

Father, you'd do the same in the
name of honor, wouldn't you?

What an unpleasant
misunderstanding.

Evil spirits
take so many shapes,

it's completely
confusing.

You're here too?

You're too young to be
a cabalist,

though you too are carrying
a rope around your neck.

Don't worry.

You are brave, I know,

though you've
not had much experience.

You're Alfonso?

Your mother is a Gomelez

and you are a captain
of the Walloon Guard.

Let's leave
this unpleasant place

and decide what
to do next.

My name is
Alfonso Van Worden.

That's evident.

I can see
you have mellowed.

I have a miraculous potion
to restore your strength.

No, no,
no more miraculous potions!

Where are you
going, se�or?

To Madrid.

Good.

On our way we'll stop at a place
where I left a good meal.

Not miraculous,
but sumptuous.

Now listen, the books of
Nach Sou Chasi

contain wise Chaldean knowledge,

while the verses of
Shir Ha Shi Mir

contain the purest beauty
of poetry.

In Hebrew, every letter is
a number,

every word
a very wise combination.

If it is pronounced with
the right exhalation and accent,

one may move mountains
and drain rivers.

You must know that Adonai
created the world with a word...

Someone played a joke on me here
last night,

But let's go in
anyway.

My horse!

Unbelievable!

Mine too.

I don't understand.

The horse
follows his master.

It's lucky that devils
do not need food.

Good, isn't it?

What's good?

Just asking.

I am pleased to be able
to satisfy your hunger.

What's that?

It must be
your property.

Then you too have spent
the night here?

Yes, but I won't tell you
the whole story.

It was
a wonderful night...

in spite
of everything.

In spite of what?

I have also given my word.

To whom?
Two beautiful women,

but do not ask for more.

Let's set off.

It's still
a long way to Madrid.

Do you know
a quicker way, se�or?

Yes, that way.

That's where the Inquisition
fell upon me.

You're right,
it's better to avoid an ambush.

Is there any other path?

Of course,
for a cabalist.

We'll go around and come out
on the one to Madrid.

Seter So Har shows us
the depth of the ten elements,

creating integrity
of taste.

All this enables us

to get to the powers
ruling pandemonium.

Must you always
talk in riddles?

It makes my journey
more interesting.

And they rule
nightmares and demons,

among which we can distinguish
Hungarian and Polish zombies...

Help!

I arrest you in the
name of the Inquisition!

Give up your sword!

Do not resist,
Alfonso Van Worden!

I am
Don Pedro Velasquez!

Are you crazy,
se�ores?

Indeed.

It's not him.
Who is he?

Don Pedro.

He look s rather similar.
What are you doing here?

I thought the roads
were for everybody.

Se�ores bandits!

There is no road here.

Get off!

He must have gone
the other way.

Maybe he went back
to Venta Quemada.

I was told
he was coming this way.

You don't seem eager
to apologize for this mistake.

Stop bothering us!

In that case, I will apologize
to the honorable se�ores.

A thorn.

There is nothing with which
to take it out.

And there is
no place to hide,

just to examine the situation,
of course.

Se�or Alfonso Van Worden?

Some ill mannered thugs
await you over there.

The Inquisition?

Yes.

Why should the Inquisition
be here?

They didn't recognize
you weren�t Van Worden?

They probably didn't,
if they held me up.

That's what logic
would dictate.

And what now?

You will ride to my castle,
se�or, a few miles away.

You have a castle
in the neighborhood?

You didn't mention it.

It just proves
the beauty of modesty.

What if they find me?

They cannot enter my castle.
We'll take the shortest route.

If I too could take advantage
of your hospitality,

I could hope for
a quiet night.

Knowing the se�or cabalist,
I know he won't refuse shelter.

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

I will have time to reconsider

everything that's
happened to me.

That could drive
an inexperienced person insane.

The human mind is ready
to accept anything,

if it is used knowingly.

End of Part One

The Saragossa Manuscript,
Part Two

Enrico, the master
has arrived!

Has something happened?

I don't know.

Let's rest after the rigors
of the journey.

Se�or, you're
completely safe here.

My house is
at your disposal.

Fifteenth century.

You're an expert
on everything.

Curiosity distinguishes us
from animals.

I look, listen
and draw conclusions.

Se�or, I am pleased to have met
you and to be in your company.

Good company is more precious
than wealth or black magic.

Gentlemen, this is not the place
for disputes.

Please go in.

Enrico, show the gentlemen
the way.

You were to be here
in three days time.

Unforeseeable complications.

Everything got
mixed up.

And what now?

What now?
I don't know.

We must keep him here.
I await new instructions.

Who's the other one?

Careful!

As k no more.

Go and
make yourself becoming.

You might
have told me.

You're boring me, my dear.
It was not possible.

I have the impression
that all this is happening

because of
evil spirits.

I'd rather
blame people, se�or.

Someone must be
after you

to put you through
all these misfortunes.

I'm in your debt, se�or,
as it seems that thanks to you,

I'll find the key
to this riddle.

I like it here.

Peace and quiet.

Think it all through
once again.

Have all your needs
been met, se�or?

I don't know
how to thank you.

Not at all.
Make yourself at home.

Thank you. I feel fine here,

I'm really well.

I've thought
everything through.

And?

It'd be best for me to go
to Madrid as soon as possible.

I hope I'll be able
to make it in the dark.

The Inquisition is still
guarding all the roads.

Maybe Se�or Velasquez
has some good advice?

He's an unbeliever.

What shall I do then?

Wait.

You have books here.

All the wisdom in the world
is to be found on these shelves.

I particularly recommend
the Spanish stories.

Se�or Don Pedro,
I've found the answer.

Let's have some wine.

Perhaps this midnight oil
will mark our vigil

for the last time
tonight.

Come, se�or, please,
I'd like to show you something.

You're sad.

Let's drink
this fine wine.

We'll all soon come to rest
in the eternal night.

How could you be
so careless?

If he had read the end,

the events which are to follow
would make no sense.

Luckily,
I arrived in time.

Strange things are happening
here, se�or.

I've seen it with my own eyes,
I even had it in my own hands.

It must be all due
to the evil spirits.

I understand, se�or, that your
mind is rebelling against

inexplicable phenomena, but be
so kind as to explain in detail.

What are you
looking for, se�or?

There was a book here.

I saw the gallows.

Where has it gone?

Here?

There's never been
a book like that here.

Demons again?

They are tiring,
I admit.

Unfortunately,
the world is full of them.

Incantations stop
their mischief.

Nonsense.

Don't you believe in
incantations then?

No.

What if I prove it?

Only if I can
perform them my self.

Go on, se�or.

This is not the place
for philosophical disputes.

I am so glad
to see you, brother.

When did you get back?

This is Alfonso Van Worden,
captain of the guard.

Captain,
my sister Rebecca.

Don Pedro Velasquez.

Se�ora.

I will do my best.

I am glad to convince you of
the power of the supernatural.

Of course.

From Aristotle came the
principle that in the mind...

Se�or Alfonso, I implore you
to tell me what you think

of everything you've
experienced since arriving here.

I wouldn't know
where to start.

I must have been put to sleep
with a potion

and taken to the gallows.

Then you got under
the Zota brothers' gallows?

And found them both hanged?

Do they, by any chance,
have the habit of coming down?

Very often,
usually at night.

Your hand shows that

you are possessed with love
for the demons.

Such people have
no fear of humans.

I am afraid of nobody.

I am afraid
for you.

I am so glad
they came.

Gaiety and fun
will pre v ail now.

I am sorry, se�ora,
but I have different plans.

Whatever your decision,

you won't refuse to spend
a few hours in our company.

Your brother is greeting
a gypsy so warmly.

A gypsy?

You'll see in a while
what a gypsy he is.

Welcome, Se�or Alfonso.

How do you know
who I am?

Our camp moves
from one place to another,

and my daughters keep
their eyes and ears open.

An enchanted place.

The people of the Sierra
are afraid to go near.

I have no reason
to tell them they're wrong.

It is better that most
of my retinue was left outside.

Se�or Avadoro,
in this errant life

you must have encountered
many unusual adventures.

I have.

Then tell us,

and Se�or Velasquez will teach
us how to experience poetry

without the help of ghosts.

I do not succumb
to ghosts,

but I fear your magic power,
se�ora.

I reckon that from one end
of the world to the other,

the story of love
is always the same.

I think you will enjoy hearing
about my youthful adventures.

Some are surprising,
I could even say, miraculous.

Whenever I go back to those
long gone times of my life,

I hear the noise
of a variety of passions

and a mix ed roaring
of storms.

You seem wiser than others,
and I have a delicate problem.

Will you follow me?

I am the lover
of a certain young person.

She tends, I think,
to be fickle.

When you see a woman whose
dress suits this,

you'll see whether
she goes to church,

or in
another direction.

Here.

You'll get another if you
do well.

You're her husband,
not her lover.

I'm paying you to discover
treason, not who I am.

Sharpen your sight,
it's time for vespers.

I'll wait at the inn.

Of lovers.
Of lovers.

- What is this?
- Your beauty troubled me.

Somebody suspects you
of betraying him.

Follow me.

You will give this
to Caballero Toledo.

Noble caballero.

My conscience forbids me taking
payment from both sides.

What is my fortune?

We'll get married
under a big chestnut tree.

Nature will accept our vows.

The rosy glow of dawn
will bless us.

I've lost Caballero Toledo s
address.

He invited me
to a grand feast.

On the other side
of the square.

Until we meet again.

Maybe.

Se�or Toledo,

a lady wanted me to give you
this little token.

I appreciate your wit,
my friend, and honor.

Would you like to become one of
my servants?

That's impossible,
I was born a nobleman.

I chose the position
of beggar

as it does not dim
a noblemars jewel.

An answer worthy
of a Spaniard!

Let's have a drink.

Human life
is fragile.

Why these
dark thoughts, se�or?

I am a sinner.

I used to leave one mistress for
another, but I concluded that

I was losing too much time
that way,

so I started a new affair before
having broken off the last,

and while planning
a third.

Spanish women
have something...

insistent.

I swore love to each.

The punishment for
breaking oaths is terrible.

Indeed,
in the other world.

Yesterday, a friend
from Malta visited.

His name is Aquillar,

a noble person
and a good Christian.

I cannot understand how,

being endowed with such
contradictory characters,

we have lived
in such friendship.

Aren't you drinking?

I've nearly finished
the bottle.

You haven't
touched your glass.

What are you
thinking about?

I was thinking of the sun
which I saw today,

whether I would see it
again tomorrow.

You doubtless will,
if there is no mist.

I may not live
to see tomorrow.

Are you planning a duel?

I could act as your witness.

You are the last man
I would ask for this favor.

Good heavens!

You took up your old squabble
with my brother?

Shall I lose my friend
or my brother in one duel?

I have an ominous feeling...
wait until midnight.

If I die, I will come to warn
you about the penalties

a sinner faces
after he dies.

I didn't want to see you,

but a voice from heaven
ordered me to come.

Were you killed?

I was.

Is there a purgatory
in the other world?

There is one.

And that's where I am!

Who died?

Tell me, who died?

Toledo fell unconscious.

I'm sorry, but my duties are
calling me.

At such
an interesting point!

Doses of suspense are
the sign of a master.

All that has
made me confused.

I've lost the feeling
of where reality ends,

and fantasy takes over.

You meant to say... poetry.

I do not know what
you are aiming at.

I will tell you something

that is based on the principles
of geometry.

Wanting to define
an infinite number,

I write a horizontal eight and
divide it by one.

If I want to express infinite
smallness,

I write a one and divide it b y
the horizontal eight.

All these signs give me no idea
about what I want to express

infinity... greatness...

In the cosmos, infinite
smallness is an infinite root

of the smallest part
of an atom.

So I am defining infinity,
but without comprehending.

Well, if I do not comprehend
but I can define it,

I am getting near poetry,
which seems to be nearer to life

than we suspect.

Empirical science
leads to lack of faith.

Only an uneducated man
who sees a thing every day

think s he understands it.

A true researcher
proceeds among riddles.

He errs, but he gets
nearer his goal every day.

Se�or Avadoro,
will you finish Toledo's story?

I remember he was disturbed
by a voice from the other world.

Yes.

H is tender soul was
very sensitive.

So he was in deep despair.

What will you do?

I want to rethink my life.

Se�or Caballero,
let me make one comment.

The voice you heard yesterday

said what you could find
in any catechism.

Do not burden oneself
with premature worries.

My friend, he who once heard
the voice of the dead,

will surely not spend
much more time among the living.

Farewell, my friend.

Tell the lady everything
without getting into detail.

I have chosen you
as I have a delicate problem.

I would be glad to help,

but I am afraid
to leave my client.

I can substitute for you,
it won't be long.

Listen.

I warn you,
he is a prattler and a bore.

You can find something
interesting in every story.

You remember the se�or with
whom I drank wine at your inn?

He is the husband
of a young noblewoman.

Discreetly hand
this little jewel over to her.

Se�or Lopez Suarez?

Like fortune-telling,
love has its magic.

This tells me
you'll see me again soon.

Maybe.

You are kind,
but the medicine is awful.

I would give you a more tasty
one, but the medic won't let me.

Sit down.

Sit down, when I tell you to.

I have one soft spot
and you will do me a favor.

Take this instrument
in your hand...

and now listen carefully.

I am the son of Gaspar Suarez,
the richest merchant in C�diz.

You're wasting time again
on romances.

I'm listening, Daddy.

It's time you departed
for Madrid.

You have to get
to know the world.

Daddy, I want
to get married.

First, pass your
examination in life.

These are the rules
you have to follow.

I forbid you to get into
discussions with noblemen.

The lords honor us while
actually they just want credit,

but cannot repay,
understand?

I forbid you
to use the title of "Don".

You are Suarez
and that's that.

And I also forbid you
to use your sword.

The habit brings
more discredit than good.

Last but not least,
under no circumstances

may you enter
into any connections

with the house
of the banker, Moro.

Moro.

And I will reveal to you why.

Though I am related to the
greatest bankers in Spain,

seeing how well you are trading
with the Philippines,

I will deposit a million with
you for a limited partnership.

I am honored.

I'll try to double your deposit
as soon as possible.

You do not need
to hurry, se�or.

Too bad
I didn't hurry.

I am Moro, the royal banker,
as you know.

My relative, Se�or Livardez,
has passed away.

In his accounts, there is your
cheque for a million.

Will you please
return the capital?

I have legally taken
over his estate.

The million was invested.

It will be doubled
in the future, maybe even...

I am very sorry.

All right.

Here is your late relative's
share.

And now listen carefully.

Years later, my ships returned,
having tripled the fortune,

so I wrote to the banker Moro
that I had his two million.

My principal received your
letter and begs to inform you

that the Livardez capital was
entered into the books.

He will not claim
any more

I owe him two million!

My principal does not even
want to hear of it.

This is an insult!

I do not need
his generous donation!

He is insulting me!

I began to claim my rights,

considering my good name
and that of my profession.

I started proceedings.

The tribunal of Seville
pronounced Moro right.

We are to pay court fees
of 600, 000 piastres.

We got no justice.

Six years wasted.

And the two million
is supposed to be mine?

That's vile!

You will appeal.

So you see, my son, I have good
reasons to forbid you

any contact with
the house of the banker Moro.

And then?

I said goodbye and,

filling my carriage with love
stories I had bought in C�diz,

I left
for Madrid.

Pour me some more
of this good mixture, good man.

I feel my strength
returning.

These sentimental stories
had softened my soul so much

that arriving here
I was madly in love,

although I didn't know
the object of my desire.

Oh, sorry.

Who is that?

Come on in, se�or.

Se�or Don Lopez Suarez.

I came to pay
my respects.

I am generally known
under the name of...

under the name of...

Don Roque Busqueros,
a family from Old Castile.

My father has forbidden me
to use the title of "Don",

and to get involved
with noblemen.

Senor Don Lopez,
my father, in turn, ordered me

to give the title of "Don"
to all prominent merchants,

and to seek
their company.

I also respect
my father's will.

Your attitude and the elegance

with which you got out of
your carriage impressed me.

Is it yours, Don Lopez?

Mine.

Lucky coincidence!

This is what
I passionately collect.

Here, I'll be glad
to oblige.

A real collector
always has copies,

should one get lost
for un known reasons.

And the third could come in
handy, when the chance arises.

Don... Roque, I just got out
of the carriage.

I am tired and hungry.

Exactly.

Well, Don Lopez,
it isn't becoming

that we eat off
one plate

and use the same
spoon and fork.

Hey, boy!
He y, boy.

Get another set!

He y boy,
get another set!

Busqueros entertained me with
gossip from Madrid, while I was

impatiently looking forward
to getting back to Buen Retiro.

This depopulated park is famous
in our romantic stories,

and I don't even know
what was telling me

I would enter into
some tender relationship there.

Se�ora, I probably found
what you are looking for.

I lost my lock et
and gold chain.

Was anything
written on it?

You read
my name was Inez,

and that the original
of the portrait is mine.

May I comment,
lovely lady,

that the finder
usually gets a decent prize?

You're forward for
a first meeting.

Congratulations!

You've met the son of C�diz's
richest merchant.

I did not give any reason
to have strangers talk to me.

Lopez Suarez.

Be kind enough
to return my locket.

Be gone!

Se�or Don Lopez,

I've refused twenty invitations
to come and see you.

Well, you have to admit
I did you a favor yesterday.

Feigning unwittingness,
I told the lady

you were the son
of one of the richest merchants.

Though she pretended to be
angry, it was only

to convince you she was not
at all impressed by wealth.

Believe me.

You are young, reasonable
and handsome,

but remember gold
is never an obstacle to love.

How shall we spend
the afternoon?

I want to see the town...
alone!

You see there was no way
out of this situation.

Go and say prayers, then!

It was a lock et
from my brother.

Don't ask
about anything else,

unless you find something else
belonging to me.

Then you'll be able
to demand a reward.

We shouldn't
be seen together.

Lopez Suarez to...

What?

To Inez.

There is charm
in my eyes, comma

and you, lady, are the only
reason for it.

I would like to put my thoughts
in this letter,

but they seem...

they seem to vanish.

Don Roque,
give it back!

Where?

Don Roque!

Don Lopez!

Stop, wait!

Well, a letter
has to be delivered.

You should be grateful
to me, se�or.

Se�ora.

Why did you use a man

whose impertinence
I already disliked,

to bring me your letter?

I wrote that letter for my own
pleasure, and that imp stole it.

Ever since I got to Madrid,

he has haunted me
like an evil spirit.

I don't think I can be bothered
with this nonsense.

And what would you like
to know now, se�or?

Se�ora, I wish I knew who you
were and what your name is.

The daughter of a man
who is as rich as your father,

the banker, Moro.

The curse of my life.

I cannot think of you under the
threat of my father's curse.

He crossed many seas to set up
as a merchant in C�diz.

In C�diz.

Don't believe him
and don't lose heart.

Those little heirs
are hard to get hooked,

but sooner or later,
their turn will come.

You'll scare my dog,
meddler!

Now only death
is left for me.

Lightning, strike me!

Do not be afraid.

Inez loves you more
than her life.

Me?

She wants to meet you at the
same spot tomorrow at sunset.

I understand that at your age,
you don't feel like marriage.

However, I find your excuse
very strange.

Your father crossed many seas to
set up as a merchant in C�diz.

You're lucky,
I've fixed everything.

Se�or Don Roque,
do one more thing for me

Do not go to Buen Retiro.

Fair Inez won't be there,
but I must sit once more

on the same bench
and weep over my misfortune.

There's something very offensive
in your words.

They seem to infer some lack of
appreciation on your part.

Se�or.

Jasmine breathes
the balmy fragrance,

the trees grow greener
as you pass under them.

What will happen
to a heart which you honor?

I could let you cry in misery
alone,

but fair Inez may come, and
who will repair your nonsense?

What's this?

To kill time, I suggest
I tell you a story,

in which you will find
many instructive events.

I always had a talent
for the law.

I wanted
to know people and life.

What is it?

What's the matter?

Oh, fearsome head!

I thought
it was one of my relatives

with whom I was to have
an important talk.

I don't know you or the reason
for this unexpected visit.

I had no intention
of entering your room.

I just wanted to know
who lives here.

I am a lawyer,
studying people's lives.

That's different.

Nothing's more pleasant than
knowing what people are doing.

Before you woke up, se�ora,
your husband honored me

by thinking my face was
a fearsome head.

And she

Se�or Don Roque,
time is passing.

Don Lopez, when a decent man is
telling you a fascinating story,

you should not
interrupt him.

No, no explanations!

This woman

Let me explain
everything.

I am the daughter
of a brave officer.

My name is Frasquita Salero.

I attracted men, even when
I was a young girl.

Frasquita, Frasquita,
be modest!

Be reasonable, Mama!

How can I be bad
with such elegant caballeros?

Haven�t you
dropped something?

Too bad for me.

If you had dropped
that little cross,

I would have picked it up
and kept it as a dear souvenir.

Frasquita, get away
from the window.

Unfortunately, the young man
never showed up again.

My beautiful wife.

My sweetness.

Do you love your hubby?

I do.

And nobody else?

Nobody.

What do you
have there, son?

A letter
for Se�ora Frasquita.

Give it to me.

I am her father.

Here.

A ring?

What ring?

"I am waiting for you and
yearning for you, Pe�a Flor. "

Frasquita,
do you love me?

I do.

Then there are no obstacles
to our love.

Perfect, Don Ramino!

If you go on like that
with the noble Count Pe�a Flor,

he won't be a nightmare
to husbands any more.

What if I put an end
to his conquests?

I'm afraid of the effects
of such a duel.

If I could have
100 doubloons,

I would wait
out in the islands.

I'll gladly offer you 100
for such a noble cause.

The count was murdered
last night.

Pe�a Flor!

From the letter we found on one
of the criminals, we know that

you offered 100 doubloons
for the crime to be carried out.

I have never set eyes
on Se�or Pe�a Flor.

Yesterday, two men came
with a promissory note

for 100 doubloons
which I signed a year ago.

Shall I show you?

No, I am a member
of the criminal court,

and I am not interested
in trade.

That will be all.

Excuse us
for the inconvenience.

Did you really order
this se�or to be killed?

Why should you care?
Do you know him?

I would go on a pilgrimage
to St. James of Campostela

and even a greater distance,
if I believed it could help me.

A wonderful story.

Yes.

Since then, strange things have
been happening in the house.

Here are
your 100 doubloons back!

Don Diego!

I like it.

Needless to say, Count Pe�a Flor
was only made up

to upset my husband and make him
go on a pilgrimage!

The justice clerk s, as well as
the thugs, were all paid off.

Now I understand
"the fearsome head".

And you understand why I thought
you were somebody else.

Enough!

I haven�t finished yet, se�or!

Later!

My duties are calling me.

Do you want
to offend me, se�or?

Yes, as there is no other way
to get rid of you.

Your daddy will
surely be glad.

Now.

Where was I?

That same night,

I found my self in entirely
different circumstances.

You are lucky only to be
injured, not deprived of life.

Easy, easy.

I've taken things
into my own hands.

Things will work out
okay for you.

But it's too bad
you interrupted my story

at such an interesting
point.

So, listen.

That same night...

I found my self in entirely
different circumstances.

Well, and what next?

Se�or... Don Lopez.

You shouldn't strain
yourself, se�or.

It's so long.

Who is it from?

A child,
a complete child.

From fair Inez,
of course.

- It's done.
- But what is it?

You are supposed to be
at her place tonight.

The wedding is tomorrow!
Isn't it enough?

What place?
Moro's house?

Tell me how.
The simple way.

- But the house is guarded.
- The old, well-known way.

Take it easy.

I'll take care of it.

I don't know.

What would you do
without me, se�or?

Which window?

First, second, third.

Which one?

Third!

The window of fair Inez.

My heart is pounding.

I am moved, and please,
do not bring any shame on me.

My gratitude, se�or, but now we
have to use the ultimate means.

When I clap my hands,
go up to heaven!

Ready?

Ready!

Well.

Balm breathes.

Jasmine does not.

Oh God!

Did you die?

I did!

Is there purgatory
in the other world?

There is one
and I am in it!

Was it stormy
that night?

Lightning like in hell... it must
be why he got the wrong window.

Se�or, I found
a purgatorial soul.

Where?

What are you
talking about, man?

Se�or Toledo.

Listen, se�or.

So it is the end
of my penance.

But how did you
find out about it?

Lopez Suarez told me.

The merchant
from C�diz.

But how
did it happen?

Busqueros got
the wrong window.

Busqueros?
Ah, Busqueros!

I don't know him,
but ask him to come by.

I'd like to know more.

What do you think?

The lady who gave you
a handkerchief...

Is she still faithful to me?
Undoubtedly.

Farewell then.

I made up my mind to find
that intruder,

known all over
Madrid.

Please,
don't stop now.

Allow me, se�ora, to give
a few moments to this man.

Frasquita told
her story to Busqueros,

he told it to Lopez Suarez,

who in turn told it to
Se�or Avadoro.

It's enough
to drive you crazy.

All these adventures
begin simply.

The listener think s
it'll soon be over,

but one story creates another,
and then another.

Something like quotients
which can be divided infinitely.

I'm a captain of the guard,
not a philosopher.

Your math is
just dead numbers.

Se�or, this zero,
plus and minus one,

gave Archimedes and Newton
power equal to the gods.

Very noble men.

But what's the point
of it?

We are like blind men lost
in the streets of a big city.

The streets lead to a goal,
but we often return

to the same places
to get to where we want to be.

I can see a few little streets
here which, as it is now,

are going nowhere.

New combinations
have to be arranged,

then the whole
will be clear,

because one man
cannot invent something

that another cannot solve.

I no longer follow.

Then let's keep listening.

Caballero Toledo regained his
former gaiety and balanced soul,

and I went to look
for that impossible man.

I happened to meet him
that same day.

I like you,
I'll take you as a servant.

Give thanks to heaven

that unlimited possibilities
are opening up to you.

I suppose you haven�t met
many noblemen.

I can easily prove that I was
brought up as a gentleman.

The fact that I'm a beggar
is down to fate, not birth.

That's fine.

Let's go, se�or.

At first, your duties
won't seem very attractive,

as you won't be paid
or have proper clothes.

As for board...

Are you by any chance
the Don Busqueros

to whom Lopez Suarez
owes so much?

Yes, that's me.

I'd have ended
this whole thing successfully

if he hadn't got the wrong
window, but let's be patient.

Caballero Toledo wishes
to get to know you.

Toledo?
It's a great honor for me.

I found out that Lopez Senior
traveled from C�diz,

and waited at the house,

but having missed his son,
went to town.

Where to?

Where can a provincial man go?

To see the church.

Wrong, you noble tramp.

- To the tavern.
- But which one?

The nearest.

But se�or,
what nonsense.

You must admit, C�diz is a more
important city than Madrid.

What's more, Suarez, who was
short of cash, was trading,

thanks to his contacts
with Liv Ardez.

Moro, in order
to retrieve the money,

had to start a case,
which is still unfinished.

Suarez sued Moro to make him
accept not a million,

but two million
from the investment.

The Suarez family
is the greatest in Spain

and you are an ill informed
big mouth.

Thank you
for your company.

I can see, se�or, that
you're an honest negotiator.

I'm honored
by what you've said.

I'm Gaspar Suarez from C�diz.

My name is Moraredo.

You are heaven sent.

I deduced from your talk

that you're a true
connoisseur of life.

At your service.

I sent my son here,

I forbade him to use the title
"Don" or frequent nobles.

Very wise.
Or draw a sword.

Understandable.

Just imagine, my Lopez is now
Don Lopez, and the only person

he is close to is
a nobleman called Busqueros.

Unbelievable.

And he fought him and
was thrown out of the window.

I've decided to have him
married immediately.

Do you know a young lady
from a spotless family?

I do.

What a lucky coincidence.

A reputable merchant also
got angry

and said he'd closet her
in the monastery

if she doesn't choose
a husband this week.

I'd love to talk to her.

You'll meet her today.

What in an inn?

A lady from a good family?

Incognito.
We should hurry.

He's paying.

Farewell.

Today, more than ever,

you'll understand the value
of my friendship.

You know, Don Lopez, such
complex tasks are my specialty.

From what I gather, you know
the merchant's life well.

But excuse me, Se�or...

Moraredo.

Your name is not known
in merchants' circles.

You know, se�or...

I presume the situation hasn't
allowed you, so far,

to try your hand at a business
conducive to your abilities.

The reason for my behavior,
se�or, is not impertinence.

I came here
only because

my father's rage forces me
to seek salvation.

I respect
the name of Suarez.

Dear lady,
I'm honored.

So you intend
to marry Se�orita Moro.

Se�orita Moro?

Are your intentions
not serious?

There's
a misunderstanding!

If you can kneel
in front of my sister,

you're not too old
to duel.

Draw or
go out the window!

What?

Your honor
is at stake.

I forbid you to have
anything to do with nobility.

I only got close
to the one standing next to you.

You shouldn't
have dueled.

Mind, se�or, you've got a sword
in your hand too.

Oh, Lopez, why on earth
did you choose Se�orita Moro?

But you yourself were kneeling
at her feet not long ago.

The punishment, Se�or Gaspar
Suarez, always fits the crime.

If your son takes my daughter's
hand, it would be an honor.

Although he chose to introduce
himself through the window,

his actions were
undoubtedly due to

the grudge
over the two million.

I'll accept it then, provided
I can add another two million,

and give it all to your son,
along with my daughter's hand.

You've done a good job.

Well done,
well done, se�or.

It's not hard to see
how it'll turn out.

Lopez was taken to his future
father-in-law's house,

and with Inez's care,
he'll soon recover.

And now I'd like to hear more
about the other affair.

Was this woman, Frasquita,
so charming then?

I told the story you just
mentioned to a young gentleman.

Yes, yes, and Lopez Suarez
passed it on to my friend,

who introduced me to her.

You have an incredible
memory, se�or.

Since you already know
Frasquita's story,

I should tell
the story of her husband,

and how he got to meet
an unfortunate young man.

Go ahead.

That very night,

I found my self in entirely
different circumstances.

Who are you?

This sign shows
I'm in the Devil's power.

Reprobate,
stop persecuting me!

Persecute.

What of the doubloons you paid
for Count Pe�a Flor's head?

What do you want of me?

You recognize me?

As you can see,

the count, before his death,
raised the stakes.

Don't! Don't!

You've given us
a pleasant hour, se�or.

You have not
disappointed me.

Excuse me for telling of things
which is a sin in itself,

but it is
a very instructive story.

What happened to
Se�ora Cornandez?

She became a widow!

Then she married her lover,

and ever since,
has led a model life.

Here she is!

Well?

But this is Do�a Iscariz.

Frasquita.

What can I do?

I couldn't.
Nor could I! The only way is

She said
I was her first lover.

There are other women
in the world.

Toledo?
Se�or Toledo!

Run!

Don't panic!

I must think it
all over again.

More carefully this time.

Se�or I

Farewell, my friends.

Your sword.

He leads an exhausting life,
I must say.

There should be a ladder
under every window.

Just in case.

What's up?

The officers of the guard
are sorting out a problem.

Must have been
a dilemma.

There were
other reasons too.

Is what you said true?

I never back down.

If I'm not mistaken, that brave
officer was your father.

The chronicles of his duels
mention those events.

In order to avoid an argument,
he dueled twice that day,

wounded five in the afternoon
and six more in the evening.

He did right, or there'd have
been an unnecessary argument!

And this is the end
of the story.

You wanted me to tell
of my adventures,

and I don't think
you regret your curiosity.

We must part.

The hour of parting...

I'm very sorry...
also has its sweetness.

Important affairs
are calling you.

But you said...

I don't think, se�or,
you've got much time left.

Alfonso Van Worden,
we're waiting for you.

Who are you?

My name will
tell you nothing.

Welcome to
Gomelez's land.

You must recognize
the hermit in me,

and thus guess that
I am the Sheik of the Gomelez.

You are here because
you have not disappointed us.

Well, I'm a captain
of the guard.

It's time for me
to reveal our secret.

The Prophet
has blessed your love.

They will both soon be mothers
and continue the family line.

We've been toying with you
long enough

to make sure that your
first night in Venta Quemada

will be fruitful
for the Gomelez family,

as you are the only male heir
to our vanishing line.

Everything you have been through
was a planned game,

meant to test
your honor and courage.

Your men were
the ghosts and spirits?

And the Cabalist?

Yes.

So was Pasheko.

He is a Basque acrobat

and he lost an eye performing
some dangerous acrobatics.

If you say Velasquez was also
involved, I won't believe it.

Yes.

This heretic caused us
a lot of trouble

and we are putting our hopes
in Rebecca's hands.

In this book is everything
you saw and experienced.

Maybe I can put it all
in some order at last.

The rest
you can write yourself.

May Allah send the dew
of happiness on your head.

Kiss him, Zibelda.

I will be happy seeing him
in your arms.

Whenever I see you, I am always
afraid I won't see you again.

Perhaps we won't meet again.

But we want to live
in your memory forever.

The hour of parting
also has its sweetness.

But now I know everything,

so tell me really
who you are.

Close your eyes.

And when you hear your name,
follow us.

Now?

Can we make it
before dark?

We can.

This time we can.

For sure.

Where have
you been?

The mules
have escaped.

Off we go
on our way

And hurry!

You must see to him.

A nice room and some peace are
the advantages of our inn.

For a long time,
they thought I was missing.

Everybody was overjoyed
to see me.

Only the sheik was saddened
to see me weak

and my health damaged.

A meal for the se�or, quick.

Two foreign ladies, who are
spending the night at this inn,

would like to invite you
for supper.

What's that?
Where?

The End
