The Cross of the Devil

Alfred. Alfred! Wake up.

Maria

You know.... this will end up killing you---

Sooner or later everybody dies

Me? Possibly sooner.

I have some news for you

And i don't think you'll like it at all.

Then tell me little by little.

This morning i saw your editor.

You told him how much i love him?

Uhhuh. And he told me to give you a warning

If your late with your manuscript, look for another job

Tell him to go to hell.

The best advice i can give... is start writing.

What would i do without you?

You'd find another woman.

I keep having the same dream.

It's returned?

It's so real.

Why don't you write about it?

First i must try to understand it's significance

No, i know what you're thinking about the dream, but...

It happens whether i smoke the hashish or not

I'd like to write about it.... but lately... words don't come

As if... the well is dry.

Where did you find this?

In Chelsea. I discovered a mountain of old books

I thought you might find them intresting.

I'm intrested...

Look

Exactly like the scene in my dreams

The sword... ready to slice the woman

...While she shouts my name over and over

It's incredible!

The Templars are ordained members of the military...

...from an ancient medieval time. -continue reading-

The mission of their order was to protect the land from Pagans

In time they became rich and powerful

Powerful, but with an evil machismo

They renounced progress and they embraced the dark beliefs

Secretly they worshipped a God of hatred

Their beliefs spread throughout Europe... especially Spain

...But in 1332, the order was outlawed

Why did you buy this book?

I already told you... i thought it might give you some ideas

...to help you with your writting

You have some mail. Look there's one from Spain

Open it.

It's from my sister.

My dear Alfred, i'm sorry i haven't written for weeks

Something terrible has happened to me. I had a miscarriage

My husband blames me for loosing the child

And Enrique says he'll never forgive me. I'm alone, scared

Could you please visit me? I need you...

With all my love, Justine.

Problems?

Read.

What are you going to do?

I've got to see her

I can't understand what this is all about

But she's in trouble... and i'm the only one who can help

Alfred... Can i do anything for you?

Yes. Make resevations for me to visit Madrid.

But what about your job?

He'll give me permission.

He wont let you go.

Then i'll have to quit.

Can i come with you? I haven't seen my country in so long...

Please, Alfred. You don't know Spain... i do. It's my land

Who would be a better guide?

Under one condition. -Tell me-

That you don't criticize about the hashish

I'll try

And i'll try to stop smoking it.

I doubt either of us will keep our promise.

I love you

And i love you, darling.

But i wont get my hopes up

When it comes to me, you have a whole in your heart

That's not true

Yes dear. Yes it is. I live day by day...

...Knowing someday you'll leave me.

For who?

Who knows? The woman of your dreams. The one calling you...

But in the meantime, i'm content to love you... with all my heart.

Justine....

What an unexpected suprise.

I've been looking for you. -Certainly-

I want to talk with you. Cesar.

Relax. Is something wrong?

I'm worried about enrique. -Yes?-

Yesterday we started fighting again

It was something stupid, but he screamed at me.

What was it about?

Actually, it was over nothing

But something infuriated him.

What?

He had been drinking.... he shouldn't drink so much.

What did he say?

He said you and i would be perfect for each other.

Mmmmm. Are you sure he specified me?

No, but i'm sure he knows everything.

No. No. No....

In fact, i think he's much smarter than i ever thought

Still, i'm not worried

Enrique needs my service..... i take care of him completely

I support his every whim and accept him in good spirits

Is that why you wanted to see me? -No-

Then why?

I want to disappear as soon as possible

I want you to break away from Enrique. And leave.

I'm sorry. I can't comply. You must get used to me.

When you lost your child Enrique blamed you

And then it was convenient for you to find consolation in me

Now our reletationship is over... and your conscience has returned

No?

I want to keep my marriage.

And i want to keep my job....

Besides, i'm indebted to Enrique

I demand that you go away...

Or else? -Forever-

In a few days, my brother will arrive in Madrid

If you continue with this.... i'll tell him everything

Including the inexplicable experiments you're involved in.

Don't threaten me, Justine

Goodbye -Goodbye-

Good evening. Good evening.

I'm Alfred Dawson, the brother of Mrs Carrillo.

We have been waiting for you ...do you have luggage?

It's at the staion.

I'll arrange to get it.

Excuse me for a moment. -Certainly-

Justine!

Justine!

It's Justine!

Mr Dawson

My name is del Rio. I am Mr Carrillo's secretary

I'm sorry to meet you under such unhappy circumstances

Please, accept my condolences

We didn't expect you to arrive so soon

I wrote a letter.... and...

What happened?

One evening she left the house

She got lost

We found her

dead

No, she was attacked by a vagabond who tried to rob her

The police caught him... He's in jail

They'll hang him for the murder.

Where's my brother in law?

He's resting. It's not advisable to talk with him right now

I'm sure you can understand, this has greatly affected him

Maybe tomorrow

I don't know.

Come in.

I heard someone arrive. Who was it?

A young man, Mr Dawson... and his lady companion

Mr del Rio is with them now

Do you need anything else sir?

Nothing thank you.

You haven't eaten anything today ....do you want something?

No. Thank you.

It's been a terrible time for Enrique. First the child. And now this

Would it be possible for me to talk to the suspect?

With the killer?

The killer? You seem to have already condemned him.

I'll see what i can do. It may be difficult

The authorities aren't always open minded....

Often they decide a man's fate with little regard to justice....

Well, i must leave you. I have chores...

Ring the bell if you need anything.

I'm very sorry, Alfred

When we were kids, Justine and i were inseperable

When something happened to one of us, the other would feel it

Even if we were apart

I feel as if she's trying to communicate with me

Trying to tell me who killed her

You don't think it's possible?

Dear, don't try to communicate with the dead

Go to bed. Try to sleep.

He'll never forgive me. I'm scared.

13?

Who found Justine's body?

A priest. -Where?-

At the foot of the mountain... in a strange area

It's a deserted region... known as Cross of the Devil

People are very superstitious... there are many legends.

What is the name of the mountain?

Mountain of Souls.

Tell me about the legends.

Ther are stories about the Devil...

Medieval caballeros rise from their graves on All Saints Day.

Her death took place at Cross of the Devil?

Did the priest see the killer?

Mmmm?

No.

But before he discovered the body, he saw a man fleeing.

Did he identify the man?

I understand he did.

Did the police discover the motive behind the crime?

Robbery. She was wearing a bracelet i gave her...

...on our last wedding aniversary.

Did they find it?

No.

Did the suspect have time to get rid of the bracelet?

I don't know.

You could ask the police.

Those are my intentions, Enrique.

I hope to speak with the suspect

And also visit the place where Justine was killed.

Personally i have no doubt... Justine's killer is in custody.

The proof seems to flimsy

I'm suprised they're holding him on such little evidence.

Justine was my wife. And i loved her

The only thing more important now is bringing her killer to justice.

Hello Maria...

This book tells about the order of the Templars in Spain

Listen, sit down.

After the death of Prince Alfonzo...

The Templar cabaleros dedicated themselves to vicious activities

...and they became very powerful

The cause of their destruction was rooted in this ferocity

They renounced their religion and...

They turned to Satanism and Black Magic

Eventually, they settled in the Mountain of Souls

And there they became involved in a tremendous battle

The Templars and their monastary were completely destroyed

According to the legend... on All Saints Day...

They rise from the dead and continue their Black Rituals.

Enrique asked me to give you this letter

Hopefully, with this signature you'll get to see the criminal

The directoe of the prison is Enrique's old friend.

Thank you.I think you're too late, Mr Dawson

I would have liked to help you

But, the man you want to see ...is dead

He hung himself in his cell this morning

I'm sorry

Give my regards to Mr Carrillo

Thank you.

It's me... Alfred.

You're very late

I was worried about you.

In a way, i was starting to worry about myself.

Why?

When i left the prison someone tried to kill me.

Kill you?

Yes. But nothing happened. I'm fine.

Do you want me to get you something?

I'd like some whisky... do you mind?

No. I don't mind at all.

Wait for me. -Thank you-

Tell me everything when i come back.

...and the death of Justine?

I was wondering the same thing

First, i recieve a letter from my sister

A letter full of panic

Then

We come to Madrid...

And we find her murdered

Later on, we discover a suspect in custody. A man...

...with flimsy evidence

In continuation, then the suspect kills himself.

Because of his guilt?

Or perhaps... he couldn't stand up against the accusations

That is.. if it really is suicide.

And now... someone tries to kill you? Why? Your curiosity?

It's possible.

I'm sure we're being watched.

Yes i know. When i went to get that drink...

Enrique knew where i was going. And Cesar

I also knew.

And did you send someone to kill me?

No... even though i might have a good reason.

You still think i don't love you.

I want to believe in you.

He'll never fogive me... I'm alone .Scared

I don't know how Justine could have written a letter like that

I'm sorry. I regret you didn't show me this when you arrived.

You wouldn't see me that evening

Enrique, i must go.

Hmmm? Why?

I want to visit the place where my sister was killed

I'd like for you to join me.

Very well. I'll also ask Cesar to accompany us

You don't like Cesar, right? -No-

Why?

There's something traitorous about his eyes.

You're being unfair

For many years he's been a trustworthy secretary

I trust him completely.

I wonder if Justine trusted him too...

From the tone of her letter, i doubt it. She was scared.

Of who? Who?

I already thought we had clarified all that

She had no reason to be afraid.

It's a shame she isn't here to utter those words herself.

Good day.

Good day Mr del Rio.

I think you left this book in the library...

I, too have intrest in Becker. -Thank you-

Are you also curious about the legends.

Yes. Very much. -Why?-

Any woman would be intrested in a writer like Becker

...for his passion, his fantasy, and his imagination

And besides, don't forget... i have Spanish roots.

HuhHuh. I'm not a big admirer of Becker, but...

I like his preoccupation with the... macabre. Morbid.

But...

You're probably proud of the heritage

He was a man... a man of grand sensibility.

You should talk to Enrique about that

He's more culturally inclined. And perhaps a better authority.

There are legends of much interest

Full of great passion.

Continue please.

There's one of special interest

Regarding the 1393's. Would you like to hear it?

Of course.

A man from Soyares invited many of his friends on a hunt

He was celebrating the return of his niece from France

Her name was Beatrix.

Stop! We can't continue.

Prepare to return.

Why so soon?

We are close to the Mountain of Souls...

And today is All Saints Day

They will soon ring the bells invoking the Templars...

...To arise from their tomb's

And that scare's you?

No. I'm not afraid. Only respectful, Beatrix.

For the young man, it was a case of love at first sight

...even though he was her cousin. And they had just met.

Come in.

Indigo.

Ny mother gave this to me

She told me to hold it until i found a woman...

...i loved more than her... It's yours Beatrix

I'd like you to give me a remider... something of yours.

It's too soon to speak of love.

Love has no relation to time.

How can i show you my deepest feelings?

Remeber the handkerchief i had during the hunt?

Mmmm.

I lost it. -Where?-

I think in the orchard where you gave orders to return

If you really love me...

Prove your worth... Return to the location...

And get it for me...

If your afraid...

I'll go. Meanwhile... hold this while i'm gone.

Indigo!

And what happened to Beatrix? Acourding to the legend...

She was killed at the foot of The Cross of the Devil

...with her body horribly mutilated.

Maybe her conscience forced her to follow the man she had condemned.

Those are romantic conclusions ...if i may say so

I admire the imagination of your writers, Mr Dawson

Let me ask a question

Have you come here to solve the murder of your sister

Or to expose her death as a feature story for the newspaper?

At this moment, i'd like to remind you i'm a guest here.

Of course.

What kind of ring was it?

It was a brilliant ruby...

I think it is time to retire. The carriage will be here at 6.

I made a decision. -What?-

Open it.

A brilliant ruby.

I offer it to the woman i love...

...the one i desire to marry.

Where did you get it?

I didn't get it from my mother ...if that is your concern.

Don't you want to accept it?

No, my love. No.

Why?

The ring looks identical to the one described by...

...your brother-in-law.Alfred. -Huh? Yes Maria

I think there are forces beyond our control

Beyond our beliefs...there are things we can't understand.

What does the ring have to do with all that?

I'm sorry, Alfred

It would have been better if we hadn't taken this trip

The legends have begun to interfere with our lives.

Good evening sir.

Hello. We need 4 rooms for the night.

Please, follow me.I'm sorry i can't treat you the way you deserve

But our season is over

So please excuse my poor hospitality.

Just show us the rooms, Ignacio, We had a long trip

We only want to wash up and rest.

This way sir. -Thank you-

Prepare us something to eat.

You will be very comfortable. -Thanks-

Did you like the meal?

Everything was magnificent, Ignacio. Like always.

Prepared tenderly?

Perfectly. Very good. -I'm happy. Thank you.

If you need anything else... just ask the girl

She'll take care of you.

It's a souvineer of my time in the Navy

A Portugeuse artist did it. Magnificent, agree?

Yes, of course...

But tattoo's don't erase, right?

They make a person identifiable ...in life and in death.

Only a criminal would worry about such a thing.

Certainly.

Gentlemen, i'm very tired

Please excuse me. Thank you.

Good, my friends. Now we are close to our destiny.

What do you plan to do when we arrive there?...

Go around with a microscope looking for clues?...

Or do you think your sister's murder is waiting for you?

It could be

You know murderers always return to the scene of the crime.

Yes?

Also, i've been considering I might be falling into a trap

The man I'm looking for may have already been warned

Anyway, Enrique... you're risking the same thing

If you want... you can both return.

And what about Maria?

If you go back... please take her with you.

No...

Cesar...

You're free to return

Whenever you want... you can return to Madrid.

I'll always go where you go, Enrique.

Very good, it's setled. Goodnight, gentlemen.

Why are you so intrested in continuing the trip?

I don't want Enrique to think I'm a coward.

Why would he think that?

You don't know Enrique well. Right?...

He's capable of perceiving people deeply

He kows i am faithful to him

And the same way, he knew what to expect from his wife.

Speak clearly, please.

To say it delicately, he knew of Justine's behavior

It wasn't exactly clean as snow

But he prefered to close his eyes

She was a young woman

...married to a much older man

Enrique, adored her, until finally he realized...

Her behavior was that of a whore.

If you decide to say any more about Justine's behavior...

Do it now!

Wait a minute.

Do you know Mr del Rio?

Yes. He comes here with Enrique Carrillo during hunting season.

And what about Mrs Carrillo?

Yes. Well... I knew her.

Did you know she was murdered?

Yes.

Who do you think killed her?

Well-- I don't Know.

Wait. Don't be afraid.

Do you like it?

It's beautiful.

It will be yours

But first you must tell me about Ms Carrillo's death.

No. Don't ask me anything

I don't know anything. Please, sir. Leave me alone.

Ines?...

It's time for you to be in bed...

Excuse me sir, she must wake up early. ...Goodnight, sir.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked so many questions.

No. I want to help you. I'll tell you what i know...

But not here. Please.

Come to my room in a half hour. At the end of the hall...

Near the kitchen.

We made a deal.

I'll tell you everything i know.

They say the cross by the mountain was made with...

...the armor from the devil.

I'm not intrested in the legend

Tell me about the death of Mrs Carrello.

I saw....

I saw her get killed.

What?

I was visitng a friend... near the cross

And i realized i'd been waiting a long time.

That's quite a distance for a meeting, isn't it?

It was my free day, and i went early

A passing coach took me half-way there

I didn't want anybody to see me.

Continue.

I saw the wife of Mr Carrello near the base of the cross

Out of nowhere appeared a man on a horse

She tried to run away

But he followed her.

He called her by name

Justine.

Could you recognize his voice?

No.

Then what happened?

She ran desperately until he caught up with her

He dismounted from his horse

Then i could see clearly

Mrs Carrello was on the cross.

And the man?

He got on his horse and rode off.

Would you recognize him if you saw him again?

No. It was too dark.

And he didn't see you? -No-

What did you think?

All i could think about was saving myself.

Why didn't you tell any of this to the police?

I was afraid.

What a strange place to meet a friend.

We decided to meet there because it's secluded...

Nobody goes there.

Don't you believe me?

Yes. I believe you. That's why you'll help me

I want you to show me the path to the cross of the devil.

When?

Tonight.

Now.

No. Please. I beg you.

Don't be afraid. I'll protect you...

Can you ride a horse?

Carlos might be in the stable.

No. I doubt it. At this time, he's asleep.

It's very far.

I'll wait for you downstairs... In the yard...

Take it. It's yours.

Justine!

What happened?

What's wrong?

No matter how much you want to stay... we should go!

I'm sorry to wake you.

What's wrong?

I've come fron the Cross of the Devil

And i've seen Justine.

Please! Alfred. Justine is dead.

Yes. I, myself, touched her body

There was a man... a Templar... He killed her

Or it was an hallucination caused by the hashish.

Could be.

No. Hashish. No. Not possible

But how can i explain this, Maria?

Maybe the spirit of Justine is living over the land

And projected the death... as a warning to you.

A warning to me?

To warn you away from the Mountain of Souls.

What do you think?... I have all this work to do...

While she stays in bed! I'd like to pull her from the bed and...

...whip her backside.

Why don't you do it?

Why don't i do it? Let me tell you

The youngsters are the ones who order... they decide what's done

They grow up and then they leave ...that's the problem.

She's still a child.

Breakfast is served.

If you're finished... prepare the horses

We want to leave quickly.

Yes sir.

The coachdriver says the road to the mountain is in bad shape

He says you'll have to go round the back way.

That means we'll get there around nightfall.

Good day. -Good day, Alfred.

Ignacio, can you inform my lady friend that breakfast is ready.

With pleasure.

Come in

Good day, ma'am. The gentlemen are waiting for you. -Thank you-

I think the legends pertain to the Cross of the Devil

Do you agree, Mr del Rio?

I'm sure Enrique can tell you better than i can.

But you also know the story, Cesar. Tell it.

Very well

One time, there was a warrior who robbed, tortured, and...

...killed the people of the region

Nobody ever saw his face but...

They succeded in catching him

Finally when the villagers remove his armor

There was nothing underneath.

How is that possible?

According to the legend, the evil warrior was the devil.

Continue, please.

They used his armor to make a cross

They say when the blacksmith started welding the cross

The steel of the armor twisted and screamed horribly

...like a living creature.

Is everybody alright?

What happened? -The wheel is broken-

What can we do?

Nothing, it's broken in 2 places.

Then?...

You'll have to go back to Sodyia and get another coach.

Maria!

What's wrong?

A trap.

It's lucky you were wearing boots. That's a wolf trap.

Oh God.

She needs attention.

Try not to put your foot on the ground.

I beg you... don't continue.

I'm sorry. I can't go back now.

I have a terrible premonition i wont see you again.

Don't be silly. I'll see you tomorrow...

Wait for me.

Take her to the best doctor around.

Are you coming back with another carriage?

Not until tomorrow. -Okay-

Goodbye Alfred.

Goodbye.... til later.

There's no need to worry. I'm a good shot.

I'm sure you are...

But i'd prefer you didn't use me as a target.

Excuse me.

Very good gentlemen. It'll be a long wait.

I can see a light near here.

A house?

It could be a house. Look.

Looks like a couple of hours away.

What about the carriage?

I don't think we'll ever see him again.

Why?

This region is full of superstions and legends

I don't think he'll be enthusiastic about returning.

Do you believe in the legends?

It's just the rich imagination of the people.

Yet they interest you.

I'm more interested in the philosophy behind them.

Is that why you're here?

Not really.

Then why?

Maybe I'm interested in your obsession?

My obsession of what?

You drive to find the killer of Justine...

...while it's very clear. The man hung himself.

And that proves his guilt?

Fear can influence the brain... sicken it.

Justine was killed at the Cross of the Devil

Do you still think the mountain was the cause of death

I ask myself why?

I don't know how to explain it--

Do you take drugs, Mr Dawson?

I smoke hashish sometimes... if you call that a drug

Why do you ask?

Very well, gentlemen

I suggest we start walking.

Gentlemen?

Sorry to disturb you. We had an accident on the road

The wheel of our coach is broken

Could we stay here for a few hours? We'd be most grateful.

Follow me. Please.

Welcome to my home. I am Indigo De Alaide.

My name is Cesar del Rio... Enrique Carrello.

Thank you. You are very humble. I present Alfred Dawson.

It's a pleasure. In a certain sense, we were expecting you

Solitary is the company of our lives

One waits for months and years. They turn into centuries

Then one day, someone appears at our door

Like you have done just now

It seems as this were pre-destined

Gentlemen, you can rest in our guestrooms

I'll dine in an hour. I hope you join me.

Alfred.

Alfred.

Alfred.

Indigo

We've been waiting for you in the dining room.

I fell asleep.

Mr Dawson, allow me to present my cousin, Beatrix.

Have a seat Mr Dawson.

Your friends tell me you want to visit the old monastary.

I want to explore the Mountain of Souls.

I don't want to get involved in your business...

I presume you have a good reason for such a thing

A very important reason.

Important enough to risk your life?

Why are you concerned about my life?

What is the motive of your journey, Mr Dawson?

I'm searching for the truth.

That's not a very clear answer to my question...

But i'll answer yours---

Tomorrow is All Saints Day

There's a legend that says

At midnight, the Templars rise from their tombs

Anyone who crosses into their territory that day...

...no matter what the reason... are never heard from again.

What exactly is the basis? The tomb of the devil, perhaps?

Perhaps... Yes

I hope you don't mind, Mr Dawson

But i know you've had a family loss...

...a death shared with Mr Carrello.

Whenhe says the purpose of his trip is to find the truth...

It's because the Mountain of Souls atracts him...

...like a magnet

Nothing or no one could keep him from continuing his trip.

I understand.

It's late, gentlemen. With your permission, I wish to retire

If you depart early tomorrow...

If i don't see you again, let me take this time and...

...wish you a good trip... with no trouble.

Good night, gentlemen.

Strange situation

It sure is.

There's no servant... at least none that we've seen...

And yet, everything seems immaculate

What do you think, Enrique?

I don't know. After a day like today, I'm too tired to think.

I've been waiting for you.

I heard your call.

I knew you would come someday.

Am i dreaming? -No Alfred. It's not a dream-

Why did you send Indigo to his death?

It was a diabolical impulse that pushed me...

...to see how far i could go.

And yet, you tried to save him.

But i was too late. So i suffer my punishment

Now I'm condemned to be followed eternally by the Templars.

But he's here with you--

Indigo is dead. But he rejects his rest, until someone frees me

I'll free you.

In the chapel of the monastary, you'll find a sword

After seeing it, no one has ever lived...

You can use it to destroy them

It's the only chance you have of saving me

The price of freedom could be your life.

You said the sword would help me.

Against the Templars

When you get to the ruins of the monastary

You'll also discover who killed Justine. And why.

Wait please.

I must rest for awhile.

How long until we reach the monastary?

We're still far. It will be midnight in 4 hours...

Do you want to continue? -Of course-

Well, Mr Dawson

We have arrived at the tomb of the Mountain of Souls

Do you still expect to find an answer to the death of Justine

Do you think the Templars will rise from the grave to tell you?

Don't move, Mr Dawson I'd hate to use this

They can do it better than i. -They?-

Yes, Enrique. The Templars...

I can't deny them the satisfaction...

The satisfaction they are silently waiting for.

We are your friends.

In hell. You are in hell.

What do you want from me? -We have little time-

But before hell explodes, I think you'd like to know...

...why Justine had to die.

The number 13. Yes, Alfred 13.

Who are you Cesar? Tell me! Who are you?...

You killed her?

Yes. Yes. I killed her.

The child she was expecting... was mine

I brought her to this place to introduce her to my people

The people you are about to meet now

I wanted to demonstrate our greatness

Our power

She wanted to accompany me

But when she arrived here... she was repulsed

Then I knew she had to die.

They're coming for you, Alfred. They're coming now.

Alfred! Alfred!

Alfred!

Alfred!

It's as if we're the last two people in the world

The Templars are gone, Alfred. Now i'm free.

And you want---?

I'll wait for you. Our love has crossed the barriers of death

Through the past and the present

Goodbye, Alfred.

Beatrix?

Halt!

Are you Alfred Dawson?

Yes. Yes, I am.

You're under arrest.

Under arrest? What am i accused of?

Murder.

Let's go.

It was him!...

You damn murderer!

I don't understand.

You don't understand? You will understand...

You killed Ines! Isn't that true? I have proof!

See this? This is how you bought her...

You gave her this in exchange for her body

And she allowed herself to be convinced. The poor idiot

But since you didn't want people to find out...

You killed her!

I can explain everything.

Can you explain the death of your friends?

My friends?

Can you explain why you're covered with blood?

Come on.

The manager assurs us there was another man...

Another man who escaped. In here... But now---

You killed him and hid his body

Or you killed him far from the village.

He killed Mr del Rio... just like the others.

Do you have something to say?

I-- I am not the killer.

Liar!

I didn't kill anyone--

You'll explain it before the judge.

Hey! Mr Dawson I hope you rot in hell!

Dear Maria, I know you must be back in London by now

And I know you tried many times to visit me

And they didn't permit you to

This means I'll never see you again

By the time you recieve this letter...

...my death sentence will be passed

I swear i don't know if i'm guilty or not

In my mind there is only confusion

I don't know if i can tell the difference. Drugs. Fantasy

But, finally. I've been able to write a story... my best story

The authorities have allowed me to send it to you

You'll recieve it in a few days

Please, make sure it's published

And don't cry for me

Like most writers, I hope I'm leaving something for posterity

I'm only comforted by the idea that Cross of the Devil and...

The Mountain of Souls are free from the curse of the Templars

If, in fact they ever existed

And i hope those places stay quite and serene...

God bless you, Maria---
