00:13:53,805 --> 00:13:57,108
He said, “Dignity consists...
180
00:13:57,174 --> 00:14:01,012
not in possessing honors,
but in deserving them.”
181
00:14:01,078 --> 00:14:04,949
- And?
- And I shall try to deserve them.
182
00:14:05,016 --> 00:14:08,385
Good. You and I must never
lose our bearings, Sofia...
183
00:14:08,452 --> 00:14:10,721

- You must have dignity. Only peasants cry.

- You are Sofia de Peralta, Baroness of Arizona.

191
00:14:39,683 --> 00:14:42,887
[ Griff Narrating ] He then
established evidence of Sofia’s birth...
192
00:14:42,954 --> 00:14:44,889
and falsified records...
193
00:14:44,956 --> 00:14:48,359
creating for her an entire family
of noble blood –
194
00:14:48,425 --> 00:14:52,129
the family of one Miguel de Peralta.
195
00:14:52,196 --> 00:14:55,299
And before the ink
certifying them was dry...
196
00:14:55,366 --> 00:14:58,635
he falsified the existence
of her parents...
197
00:14:58,702 --> 00:15:02,940
and carefully arranged
to have them properly laid to rest.
198
00:15:22,626 --> 00:15:26,864
Having provided Sofia
with the necessary ancestry...
199
00:15:26,931 --> 00:15:30,868
he sailed for Spain
to complete his worldwide forgery.
200
00:15:39,643 --> 00:15:43,380
He had only one more act to perform –
201
00:15:43,447 --> 00:15:46,383
falsification of
the original land grant book...
202
00:15:46,450 --> 00:15:48,619
of Ferdinand VI...
203
00:15:48,685 --> 00:15:51,422

- Oh, thank you, Brother.

- I have come to stay.

Hmm. But why have you
chosen our order?
210

Well, I have made careful survey, Father,
and from the little I know of your order...
211

I feel very much attracted to it.
212
00:17:31,588 --> 00:17:34,425
There is much to prove
before you can join our order.
213
00:17:34,491 --> 00:17:38,562
After all, you must admit
we know nothing about you.
214
00:17:38,629 --> 00:17:43,434
Charity commands us
to accept you on your face value...
215

but for practical purposes,
you will have sufficient time to prove yourself.

By the time you are through
with your novitiate...
217

I’m Brother Gregory, the custodian.
May I assist you?

Oh, thank you, Brother Gregory.
221
00:18:09,861 --> 00:18:11,963
This is our scriptorium...
222
00:18:12,029 --> 00:18:14,932
where we study
and do most of our spiritual work.
223
00:18:15,933 --> 00:18:17,869
It’s very interesting.
224
00:18:17,935 --> 00:18:21,405
We have a fine collection of books
which you will enjoy.

The scribe room...
226
00:18:26,043 --> 00:18:29,947
where our experts copy
and illuminate manuscripts.
227
00:18:30,014 --> 00:18:32,616
The illumination is magnificent.
228
00:18:32,683 --> 00:18:34,618
And the calligraphy!

00:18:39,156 --> 00:18:41,158
The repair room...
230
00:18:41,225 --> 00:18:44,195
where we strengthen
and sew bindings.
231
00:18:44,261 --> 00:18:47,431
- Is this for sewing the bindings?
- Yes, that’s right.
232

- And the, uh, press?
- Yes, the press.
233

Uh, those are cakes of ink.
234
00:18:56,307 --> 00:18:58,242
Yes, we make our own ink...
235
00:18:58,309 --> 00:19:01,578
and have not changed the formula
in five centuries.
236
00:19:04,115 --> 00:19:06,617
And this is our biblioteca.
237
00:19:10,287 --> 00:19:13,457
This is where we preserve
our ancient books...

I can understand.
242
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,003
But to remove a book
is strictly forbidden.
243

- But surely no one would dare.
- Well, who knows?
244
00:19:28,973 --> 00:19:32,977
Once a rare book collector
acted rather strangely in this cell...
245
00:19:33,044 --> 00:19:35,579
and we were compelled to summon
the civil police from Seville...
246
00:19:35,646 --> 00:19:38,382
to investigate him.

- You’re right, Brother Anthony.

and milk and meal
from the kitchen.

He mixed a solution
and tried it out.
259

He had to make sure
he could remove the ink.
260
00:21:43,841 --> 00:21:47,178
He rubbed the surface of the page
with pumice...
261
00:21:47,244 --> 00:21:49,513
to smooth the irritated grain.
262
00:22:00,357 --> 00:22:04,929
That night he gathered his equipment
and hurried to the biblioteca...
263
00:22:04,996 --> 00:22:09,500

in the 1748 volume.

ancient penmanship.

of gaining entry into the biblioteca
where he could work.
274

1027
01:22:34,158 --> 01:22:36,093
Now you’re having illusions.
1028
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,095
I am Mrs. James Reavis...
1029
01:22:38,162 --> 01:22:42,033
and one of us must have the dignity
to accept punishment.
1030
01:22:42,099 --> 01:22:45,369
One of us must have the dignity
to recognize love.
1031
01:22:45,436 --> 01:22:48,672
I’ll always love you.
Nothing can change that.
1032
01:22:50,274 --> 01:22:52,209
You still want me?
1033
01:22:52,276 --> 01:22:55,212
I’ll want you until the day I die.
1034
01:22:55,279 --> 01:22:58,215
It is not death,
it is dying that alarms me.
1035
01:22:58,282 --> 01:23:02,787
It is not your crime,
it’s your weakness that alarms me.
1036
01:23:10,161 --> 01:23:12,163
Arizona.
1037
01:23:13,831 --> 01:23:15,833
Seems so small.
1038
01:23:17,634 --> 01:23:20,237
You suddenly seem so great.
1039
01:23:22,606 --> 01:23:25,109
Now I know what I was looking for –
1040
01:23:26,811 --> 01:23:29,814
a woman who would love me
for what I am.
1041
01:23:33,150 --> 01:23:35,652
No man can live without that.
1042
01:23:37,488 --> 01:23:39,824
No man can ask for more.
1043
01:23:44,561 --> 01:23:47,664
- This will make you feel better, dear.
- Thank you.
1044

None for me, Loma.
1045
01:24:02,513 --> 01:24:05,049
Mrs. Reavis.
1046
01:24:05,116 --> 01:24:07,318
- You sent for me?
- Yes, Mr. Griff.
1047
01:24:07,384 --> 01:24:10,321
I, uh –
I have a statement to make.
1048
01:24:10,387 --> 01:24:14,892
Strangely enough, I was on my way to see you
when Mr. Alvarez came to my office.
1049
01:24:14,959 --> 01:24:16,894
Oh.
1050
01:24:16,961 --> 01:24:19,964
Mr. Griff, you were right.
1051
01:24:21,098 --> 01:24:25,970
My claim is a bad cigar
wrapped in a rich Spanish leaf.
1052
01:24:27,071 --> 01:24:29,573
I am guilty of the criminal act
of forgery...
1053
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,811
with intent to defraud
the government of the United States.
1054
01:24:33,878 --> 01:24:38,449
My wife is innocent of any part
in the conspiracy.
1055
01:24:38,515 --> 01:24:43,254
And Loma Morales
and Pepito Alvarez...
1056
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,423
believed my story of her ancestry.
1057
01:24:46,490 --> 01:24:48,425
They are blameless.
1058
01:24:48,492 --> 01:24:50,661
That’s very interesting, Mr. Reavis.
1059
01:24:52,163 --> 01:24:54,165
Excuse me a moment.
1060
01:24:56,367 --> 01:24:58,369

1061
01:25:10,748 --> 01:25:12,750
Your Honor.
1062
01:25:14,318 --> 01:25:16,487
Ladies, will you please be seated?
1063
01:25:16,553 --> 01:25:18,489
What is this?
1064
01:25:18,555 --> 01:25:22,493
The court of private land grant claims
is now in session.
1065
01:25:22,559 --> 01:25:25,496
- What?
- This is quite an occasion, Mr. Reavis.
1066
01:25:25,562 --> 01:25:27,832
One of historical significance.
1067
01:25:27,899 --> 01:25:30,334
This federal court has been
granted the permission...
1068
01:25:30,401 --> 01:25:33,337
to sit wherever
and whenever it wants...
1069
01:25:33,404 --> 01:25:37,474
and we’ve decided to hold court
here in your home...
1070
01:25:37,541 --> 01:25:40,778
to avoid a mob riot
in a public hearing.
1071
01:25:40,845 --> 01:25:43,647
Mr. Reavis, we have legal proof...
1072
01:25:43,714 --> 01:25:47,151
that will indict, convict and sentence you
to the penitentiary.
1073
01:25:47,218 --> 01:25:50,988
Proof?
My forgery is flawless.
1074
01:25:53,958 --> 01:25:55,960
Remember this?
1075
01:25:58,129 --> 01:26:01,733
The 1748 volume
of the Spanish land grants.
1076
01:26:01,799 --> 01:26:06,337
[ Griff ] I must admit this is the finest
example of forgery I’ve ever seen.
1077
01:26:07,972 --> 01:26:10,908
Now, we had the ink
on this page analyzed.
1078
01:26:10,975 --> 01:26:13,277
It contains the tannin acid of oak.
1079
01:26:13,344 --> 01:26:16,280
No, that’s impossible.
I made that ink myself.
1080
01:26:16,347 --> 01:26:19,784
And the monks haven’t
changed their formula for over 500 years.
1081
01:26:19,851 --> 01:26:24,121
A monk named Brother Paul came
to Alcántara from the north of Spain.
1082
01:26:24,188 --> 01:26:26,123
He brought his own ink.
1083
01:26:26,190 --> 01:26:29,994
Every word on this page
was written by him with his own ink...
1084
01:26:30,061 --> 01:26:34,866
except this account of the grant awarded
to Peralta by King Ferdinand of Spain.
1085
01:26:34,932 --> 01:26:37,869
This was written with ink
which had no oak.
1086
01:26:37,935 --> 01:26:42,039
You used the ink made in the south
when you forged this page.
1087
01:26:43,140 --> 01:26:45,476
You didn’t need my confession, did you?
1088
01:26:45,542 --> 01:26:47,544
No, not now.
1089
01:26:51,816 --> 01:26:55,652
Will it be a – a long prison term?
1090
01:26:55,719 --> 01:26:59,156
It’s according to how much money
you return to the landowners.
1091
01:26:59,223 --> 01:27:01,658
The lavish manner
in which you spent the money...
1092
01:27:01,725 --> 01:27:04,661
will determine the years
of your imprisonment.
1093
01:27:04,728 --> 01:27:06,731
There’s all the money.
1094
01:27:08,165 --> 01:27:10,868
I’m tired.
I need a rest.
1095
01:27:10,935 --> 01:27:14,305
Father Guardian
told me to meditate.
1096
01:27:15,572 --> 01:27:17,608
I should have listened to him
that night.
1097
01:27:17,674 --> 01:27:19,676
The court cannot guarantee the rest...
1098
01:27:19,744 --> 01:27:23,347
but you’ll have sufficient time
to meditate.
1099
01:27:23,414 --> 01:27:27,351
Well, I will help you gather up
all my records and receipts and papers.
1100
01:27:27,418 --> 01:27:30,421
You’ll need them.
They’re at my office.
1101

Mr. Alvarez,
I’m going to request leniency for you.

- Yes.

By the way, Mr. Reavis...

did you read my book?

01:28:48,399 --> 01:28:50,401
It was my bible.
1115
01:28:53,938 --> 01:28:56,874
The land in Arizona
don’t belong to no baron!
1116

It belongs to you and me!
We paid for it!
1117

and we paid for it with our hard work!
