YEAR 1212

Constanza.

You'll be the wife of one of the most powerful gentlemen in the kingdom.

Your father only wishes the best for you.

Don Fadrique is held in high esteem by the Laras,...

...which is as good as saying King Alfonso himself.

Any woman would be proud to be in your place.

Stop crying, Constanza.

This is your wedding day.

You should be happy.

You hear me? Happy.

Please, hush!

The lady is escaping! Guards!

Constanza has fled. I am sorry, sir.

Do not worry. She can't have gone far.

Constanza, you won't escape!

YEAR 2016

This is cat food!

Did you just wash up and then touch that sirloin with your hands?

You're filthier than a baby's nappy!

Look at me! I'm talking to you!

And where did this one come from? -Where am I?

Just what I need, a nutter.

You're right, I'll go with you.

Hold it, in the name of your lord!

Why are you still here? I told you to go.

Not without you. -But I can't.

My father forces me to marry. -With the one you don't love.

I pray thee, go. If you stay, Fadrique will kill you.

If I go without you, sorrow will kill me.

You're right, I'll go with you.

Hold it, in the name of your lord!

Julian!

Care for a dance?

Sure.

So many things have happened.

What's up?

She's going to kill herself.

Wait! Don't do it!

THE POLICE BRING NO FUN

THE MINISTRY OF TIME

EPISODE 20 TILL TIME DO US APART

20 HOURS BEFORE

How awful! Those bulls!

Ortigosa, if I didn't cross in front of that Miura bull,...

...there wouldn't be a wedding tomorrow.

The next time I say I want to run in front of a bull, stop me, please.

If you will jump the fence before the herd arrives, foolish man.

Where is Velazquez?

Right behind. -Sure.

He'll still be in that last bar. He was three sheets to the wind.

He went sailing?

It's not that, Alonso.

Where were you? I didn't see you run. -I was on Ernesto's balcony.

Ernesto didn't come. -Ernesto, the Yank.

That guy can talk.

I'll take him and I'll pick up Velazquez too.

You scoundrel!

Come on.

Let's have one more at the Rock-Ola in 1981.

Nacha Pop is playing today.

Ortigosa's round! -No, tomorrow I'm marrying.

I'm marrying the woman of my dreams!

Say that in a couple of years. -You don't know how I envy you.

We'd better get us a coffee. -I don't want one.

Well, I do. Come with me.

Guys!

Go.

See you, man.

This way.

NATALIA AND ORTIGOSA TO BE WED CONGRATULATIONS!

What's going on with Elena? -Nothing.

If you say so.

Weren't things getting better? -Yes.

But suddenly, it's ruined.

You'll bring her to the wedding. You asked permission from Salvador.

At a bad time.

Yesterday she told me she'd thought it and would prefer not to come.

I don't understand all these ups and downs.

Nor why love should hurt as if you'd been stabbed by a dagger.

I love her, Julian.

I want to be with her for the rest of my life.

To have children with her.

I will never get used to the women of this time.

Before, you told them to do something and they did it.

Before, they were slaves and maids.

They marry whomever because their father forced them to.

You'd prefer that to a woman being with you because she really loves you.

But she doesn't love me!

Don't be so pessimistic. Of course she loves you.

Going to the wedding to meet your friends...

...it's an important step.

I don't understand you in the slightest.

She's afraid of commitment, Alonso.

But then, I don't know her. And I could be wrong.

No, you understand women of this time far better than I do.

Yeah.

Julian.

May I ask you a big favour? -Whatever it is.

Can you teach me how to make the knot in a tie?

I'll be delighted, don Alonso de Entrerrios.

Where is Jose? Jose, come over a second.

Yes, please.

Can I use your tie to show Alonso how to do it?

YEAR 1212

Why are you still here? I told you to go.

Not without you.

But I can't.

My father forces me to marry. -With the one you don't love.

I pray thee, go. If you stay, Fadrique will kill you.

If I go without you, sorrow will kill me.

You're right, I'll go with you.

Hold it, in the name of your lord!

We have arrived in time, my lord.

Seize him!

This costume is hardly the height of glamour.

There is one good thing about it.

It's not too tight? -Exactly.

So when I come back two kilos heavier you won't notice.

I haven't even got to Tordesillas yet and my mouth is already watering!

Those sweets are my downfall!

Say hello to Sister Flora from me.

Of course.

Wasn't there anywhere else...

...you wanted to go on your time off than that convent?

I promised I'd come back. And they're all so lovely!

But you're missing the wedding.

You don't know how happy that makes me.

Weren't you happy at your wedding?

Yes. Very.

But the marriage afterwards was hell.

And that's what counts.

So watch out, weddings always lead to new couples.

Anyway, you'll tell me everything.

I may not enjoy weddings, but I do love gossip.

Especially yours.

You two look so beautiful you're bound to go breaking more than one heart.

Especially you with that low neckline.

I'd be happy with just a fling.

By God! What an useless item of clothing!

What are you doing here?

Well, I was expecting something like: "You're looking lovely, sweetheart."

What is it?

In trouble with your tie? -No, no.

Here, let me do it.

Don't you ask why I changed my mind?

Well, I'll tell you anyway.

I came because I want to be with you.

I like you.

And that's why I hesitated. Because I like you too much.

I barely know you, Alonso.

I'm afraid that this won't work down the line.

I'm afraid of us getting hurt.

There. You're handsome.

As long as you're by my side, you need never be afraid.

I swear.

Something wrong?

No, just thinking.

Ernesto, do you know why we rejoice at a wedding...

...and cry at a funeral?

Because we are not the person involved.

Good saying. -It's not mine. Mark Twain.

Though the first part isn't true in my case.

Weddings always bring up painful memories.

If you want, I'd go in your place. -No, no.

You'd better stay here on duty.

You don't strike me as one for weddings.

Not particularly.

They end in a kiss, like the old-fashioned movies.

But love is not eternal.

If they filmed the second part of those movies,...

...their protagonists would all be divorced.

Good saying. Whose is it?

Mine.

I must be the exception to the rule.

Are the fireworks all set up for the wedding?

All we have to do is light them.

We got them for a good price. They came from 1962.

A master pyrotechnical from Valencia, a friend of the Ministry.

Salvador, you look very snappy. -Thank you.

By the way, Ernesto,...

...how are things with your son?

Good, very good. I'm having dinner with him tomorrow.

Glad to hear it. Emotional intelligence and empathy.

There's nothing you can't achieve with both.

Right then, time to get organized. The minibus is waiting outside.

Alright for some.

Don't complain, you know the bachelor party was the best part.

Ready for a very special day?

No other choice. Did you find Velazquez?

Yes. He's making his own way there.

Hello.

You're beautiful.

Right then, everyone. One moment, please.

Listen everybody, this is important.

There'll be civilians at the wedding,...

...such as the bride's family, who are from this time.

Alonso's bringing a guest. Her name is Elena and she's a lawyer.

So make sure the open bar doesn't make you say more than you should.

Open bar? -I'll explain later.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's go.

The only one who should be arriving late is the bride.

YEAR 1212

I pray you, let him go.

And I repeat, what will you give me? Will you love me?

Are my tears not enough?

Don't cry for me.

Don't waste a tear in front of this coward!

Nobody dares to call me that.

But you are a coward, you, master of these lands.

Otherwise, you'd fight with me...

...for the love of Constanza.

Let him loose.

If he wants it that way, why not?

It speaks well of his courage.

Give him a sword. -No.

Dear God, no!

Stand aside, Constanza.

Every man, even the most vile, deserves a chance.

May God aid the sword of the righteous man to victory.

If that man is him, God will help him.

The sword that wins is the one wielded by the strongest arm.

If you fight, you are a dead man.

I am already a dead man.

And if I am to die, I wish to do so with dignity.

Not like a thief.

Move aside, please.

May the Lord decide who should marry this lady.

It seems the Almighty was on my side.

My lord, do not kill him.

For the love of God, let him live.

Duels between gentlemen...

...are to the death.

No!

My love, why did you do that?

So that I could gaze into your eyes...

...until my dying moment.

Time to go home.

I think I'm all set.

Handkerchief, ring. -You're perfect.

Excuse me. Salvador.

Congratulations, young lad.

It was about time you settled down.

How are you? -Irene.

Only you would decide to get married in a castle.

Yes, at least it's not in Huesca.

Natalia wanted a fairy tale wedding.

I hope this is a ghost-free castle.

Don't worry. These days there are more ghosts in the senate...

...than in castles.

My brother-in-law. -Hi.

And a friend. Hey, what a tasty blonde you got here.

Won't you introduce me? -Let's go.

Sorry.

Who's this louse?

The asshole of the wedding. -Yeah.

My word! What a beauty! Alonso has good taste, there's no doubt.

No doubt at all.

Hi. Elena, Salvador Marti, this is my boss.

Irene Larra, she is also my superior. -Nice to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you. -Me too.

May I? -What a gorgeous boss you have.

Not as gorgeous as his girlfriend.

Liven up, or you'll end up working back at the call centre.

Hello.

I'm Claudia. The wedding planner. Welcome.

You can take your seats.

The wedding what?

We are gathered here today...

...to join Natalia and Alberto in marriage.

First of all, congratulations...

...for having decided to take the big step...

...of joining your lives together.

On this journey...

...you'll have moments of great happiness...

...to moments that may test your strength.

"Ego cojundo vos in matrimonium.

In nomine Patris et Filii...

...et Spiritu Sancti, amen".

I, Alberto Ortigosa,...

...take you, Natalia, to be my wife.

I promise to be faithful, and care for you for richer, for poorer,...

...in sickness and in health,...

...for all the days of my life.

Deuteronomy 7, 13.

And He shall love you,...

...bless you and multiply you.

He shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of the earth.

Your grain, your must,...

...your oil.

The breeding of your cows,...

...your flocks of sheep,...

...in the land He swore shall be your father's.

I promise to be faithful...

...and care for you for richer, for poorer,...

...in sickness and in health,...

...for all the days of my life.

I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss.

Orti! That's my sister!

Petals?

Throw the petals when the newlyweds come outside.

But not on the carpet.

Petals? -Thank you.

You have to throw them in this direction.

Otherwise the carpet will be ruined.

How interesting. In Ancient Rome they threw wheat grains.

Is that so? -Yeah.

In mine, they threw rice.

My paramedic colleagues nearly blinded me.

Are you okay? -If I say yes, will you believe me?

No. -You got it.

Let's get with the others. -Come on.

If you need to talk,...

...I'm better at listening to other's troubles than talking about my own.

Well, the worst part is over.

You never know.

The best part is always the party. Don't tell me you don't think so.

Old times' weddings were more dignified. I like that.

So out-of-date. -Isn't he?

How did you like the bride's dress?

A trifle too much cleavage, right?

Do you have a lighter or matches?

I didn't know you smoked.

In private. Just a cigar every now and then.

You see, the Ministry's present to the newlyweds...

...is a fireworks display.

And you want me to light them? -Later.

After the cake and all that. -Ok.

Hello.

Isaac. Isaac Vila, Natalia's brother. You don't remember me?

We met at her birthday party.

I showed you some apps and we had a laugh.

I couldn't remember you. -I've grown fatter since the divorce.

I hardly eat, you know, but a pear fills me up.

It's ok. It makes me focus on photography.

I'm an architect. And I have a drug-store. My parents, I mean.

I'm so sorry. About the divorce, I mean.

It's ok.

On the other hand, you're beautiful.

Let's kiss, right?

They're coming out. -Yeah.

Cheers! Cheers! -Thank you, really.

What's this flowers' sassy stuff?

Here, take rice! Some extra rice for the "paella".

Here, take rice!

Flowers are for bugs, like they say.

Cheers! Hooray for the newlyweds!

Hooray for the newlyweds!

Let's take a selfie.

What's up, kids?

This morning I woke up. I took a piss...

Marisa. -Ernesto.

What are you doing here?

Don't worry. I'm not here on business.

No? -No.

It's a little more personal.

Well, it's partly about work as well.

You're more contradictory than Unamuno.

I'm here to celebrate something.

I'm your new liaison officer with the Ministry.

You're replacing Susana Torres?

Exactly.

Well, then.

Excuse me. -Yes?

You don't happen to have a safety pin at hand, do you?

Something ripped off?

The slacks. But it's no biggie.

We can ask somebody. -It's ok, don't bother.

I'm Irene. -Rocio.

Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

You're a friend of Natalia's?

Yes. And a classmate of hers. -You're a nurse. Great.

So you can help me if needs must.

If needs must I'll do whatever is needed.

Well, well, well, two lovely ladies on their own.

What a piece of luck. Here, drink this.

Thanks, I already have my glass.

Don't say that, I paid plenty for them.

And you? -I'd rather not mix.

How dull.

Beg pardon.

What did you say to him?

Just enough that he won't bother us any more.

You'll have to tell me the formula, because it works.

We'd best go somewhere where we won't be disturbed.

Excuse me. Irene, Velazquez just called me.

He's got lost. Did Ortigosa give us a map with directions?

Yes, I sent it to the driver.

I'll leave you two to sort this out.

Later you can tell me what you said to that creep.

Whenever you wish.

Champagne? -No, thank you.

Thank you. I'll resend it to Velazquez.

Here!

I don't know if it's any good. I don't know about these things.

But it's the only thing I could find in the canteen.

It's fine. -Good.

Then, to my new boss.

Let's hope we have many more things to celebrate working together.

What's the matter?

I hope that you...

Nothing, I was being silly.

I know what you were thinking.

You're wondering if this is another tactical move against Salvador.

Well, you don't have to worry.

I'm not a careerist like Susana Torres was.

I'll just lend a hand to keep things running.

Good.

Well, that's worth another toast.

Here goes.

To the Ministry. -To the Ministry.

He never tells me anything about his job.

I'm not surprised. Our work is very boring. Pure bureaucracy.

So dull. Paperwork and more paperwork.

He is so reserved that I thought he was a Secret Service agent.

How disappointing.

Have you never thought about finding a more exciting job?

I mean, with all due respect of course.

We should do, yeah.

Something more exciting. -Yeah.

Sure you keep yourself entertained with some office romances.

To add a bit of spice to all that boredom.

You'd have to ask Natalia and Ortigosa about that.

I was talking about you two.

We? -We don't...

No, no, no.

Julian and I, no. -Really?

It's the same! How many times have I said that the actors...

...have to use the service entrance? Come on!

Having a good time? -Yes, very good.

Is there going to be a performance? -Yes.

They'll perform the legend of the castle.

A legend? What legend?

The legend of a young lady named Constanza,...

...who married Don Fadrique, around 1200.

Don Fadrique de Villaespesa?

Yes. You know him?

He was one of the heroes in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.

He fought alongside the Laras and Alfonso VIII.

He must have been a great man.

The legend doesn't paint him in a very good light.

What does the legend say?

If you tell us, it'll be a spoiler for the performance.

A what? -A what?

Go on, tell us. -I'll give you the short version.

The owner of this castle...

...fell in love with a young woman named Constanza.

The girl's father promised her to the lord...

...to lift the family out of poverty.

But she was in love with a young shepherd.

The standard story.

So what happened to the lovers? Did they run away?

They tried. But they were unlucky.

"I pray thee, go.

If you stay, Fadrique will kill you.

If I go without you, sorrow will kill me."

And Constanza said:...

..."You're right.

I'll go with you.

Hold it, in the name of your lord!"

Was Don Fadrique's threat.

The young man, Sancho, had never picked up a sword in his life.

And challenged Don Fadrique to a duel for the love of Constanza.

Foolish. If this Fadrique was a war hero,...

...there was little he could do. -Exactly.

"It seems the Almighty was on my side.

My lord, do not kill him.

For the love of God, let him live.

Duels between gentlemen are to the death."

He took his sword...

...and pushed it hard into Sancho's breast.

The end.

And Constanza married this bastard?

So says the legend.

But the night of her wedding she fled.

She fled? Where?

To her end.

It's time for the banquet. -What happened to the lady?

She killed herself, throwing herself off one of the battlements.

But don't take it too seriously, it's just a legend.

Yes. Yes, I can hear you.

We'd better start coming in.

A kiss! A kiss!

Thank you all for sharing...

...this very happy day with us.

It's very important for us. Thank you very much.

Now it's time to stuff ourselves silly.

Find your places. There are name cards on the table.

I believe I found myself.

Shall we sit? -Yes, please.

Good evening. -How are you?

I still remember the row I had with my wife...

...about where to put all the guests at our wedding.

It was our first crisis as a couple.

It's not that easy. -No.

What?

I'm the lucky girl's bro. I already had a go at the menu.

We're gonna pork out like morons. How do you like the castle?

It's my servant's.

But, I mean, far out, right?

You're here at last.

Wonderful! They've put us together. -How fantastic!

Thank you.

I woke up with a terrible headache.

No doubt one of my usual migraines.

Or the hangover from yesterday.

I thought that too, but they say that beer cures hangovers.

This morning I took two, but I'm still the same.

Then it's definitely a migraine. -Definitely.

Waiter! A beer please!

And what dowry did the bride bring?

Velazquez, we're in the 21st Century.

My wife's dowry was a house of 1,200 ducats,...

...plus 500 ducats in trousseau. I didn't do too badly.

What about your wife's?

My wife gave me something rather more valuable than a dowry.

What?

Forty wonderful years.

I think they've forgotten about me.

No. They put you here.

Rocio.

How strange.

You could ask the wedding planner to put you with your friends.

No, I came alone. Here is fine.

Anyway, at least I don't have to talk to that creep.

Sure. -To the newlyweds!

To the newlyweds!

What a sad story. Finally finding your son...

...and he tells you thanks but no thanks, he doesn't need you.

The truth is never sad, it is just unmovable.

Serrat. -Right.

Marisa, thank you for thinking of me.

It doesn't mean much. I didn't have anyone else.

You haven't had a relationship with anyone else?

Yes. Another agent.

Ramon, was his name.

He went on a mission with Hernan Cortes and never came back.

After him, and you, I decided...

...not to get together with anyone else from the Ministry.

I decided to be married to my job. And only my job.

Me too.

But from time to time,...

...I like to remember the people I have loved.

In the end, the good memories always remain.

I'd like to be like you, in that way.

I only remember the bad times.

We'll have to get another bottle.

Aye, aye, boss!

Now, Salvador, really...

I think that...

Allow me to be informal.

You're wrong. Wrong.

Because Venus...

I mean God. No, no.

Love is the child of Beauty.

Beauty with a capital letter.

Just as Cupid is the son of the goddess Venus.

I mean that myths have to be humanized.

We talk of humanizing myths!

Venus is no more beautiful than your average Italian matron!

Venus is in all women! -Diego, Diego, Diego!

Diego, how about you calm down a bit?

My God, we can't take him anywhere. -You work with very strange people.

You have no idea.

Hold it. Stop there.

Get off me, get off.

When I was a kid, I was a hell of a dancer.

The Vienna Philharmonic... Careful, you!

The Vienna Philharmonic was after me.

For the dance section.

Just then I busted my knee.

The cruciate ligament snapped.

So I had to quit dancing.

And Real Madrid too.

I was with the juniors, you know.

I had Camacho for coach.

Anyway, at least I could make the varsity.

You ok? -It's nothing.

I was thinking about the girl in the legend.

She certainly didn't have such a happy wedding.

Please, hush!

The lady goes away! Call the guard!

Look at me, I'm talking to you!

And this one, where does she come from?

It will be a pleasure.

You keep quiet and still.

Why are you still here? I told you to go.

Not without you. -But I can't.

My father forces me to marry. -With the one you don't love.

I pray thee, go.

If you stay, Fadrique will kill you.

If I go without you, sorrow will kill me.

You're right, I'll go with you.

Hold it, in the name of your lord!

Why are you still here? I told you to go.

Not without you. -But I can't.

My father forces me to marry. -With the one you don't love.

Julian!

Care for a dance?

Sure.

I have to talk to you.

I've been trying to make that happen ever since I got back.

But you didn't give me the chance.

I'm sorry.

So many things have happened that...

What's the matter?

Wait! Don't do it!

There she is.

That girl... Isn't that..? -Constanza.

Do not come any closer to me, demons.

We're not demons. We're normal people.

And we want to help. -You cannot help me.

No one can help me.

She's flesh and blood. -What did you expect, polystyrene?

I mean she's not a ghost. -What the legend said is true.

Who are you? What legend do you speak of?

You're being pursued by Don Fadrique, right?

How did you know?

Where am I?

Far from home. -How did you get here?

Through a hidden door.

A demon door.

If she came through that door, the people chasing her could do the same.

We have to warn Salvador and Alonso at once.

Shit! I left my phone on the table.

There's no trace of her.

This is the devil's work.

Enough nonsense.

There must be some explanation.

There's a draught.

And it's coming...

...from here.

Let's go.

Either come with me,...

...or I swear you will no longer have to fear the devil, you will fear me.

You cowards!

Come on.

Come on, we can't stay up here.

No! If he'd see me he'll kill me.

You and everyone else. -Come with us.

You'll be safe.

Look, my face on Bertin Osborne's body.

It's a new app. All day I've been with it.

You got 1,000 possible matches. You name it.

Attention, please.

We are now going to have a short performance...

...of the legend of Constanza and Don Fadrique.

Please, turn off your mobiles.

What a bummer! -Let the play begin.

Come in, actors.

Constanza!

Where is my Constanza?

They aren't the actors we hired.

Where is my wife?

And they say that Spanish actors are bad.

It's a bit over the top, isn't it?

There's been nothing good on since the Golden Age.

If anyone is trying to hide her...

Hey, what do you mean pulling a stunt like this?

We hired...

Quiet!

Search the room.

Under the tables.

If anyone opens their mouth, slit their throat!

Look. The guy really needs a great teeth-job.

Those clothes, those swords...

Are you thinking the same as me? -Yes.

This is no theatre performance.

What is this artifact?

I always dreamed to see an actor doing that.

Do you want me to pull in? -No.

We'd better stay put.

Where's my wife? -By the way, where's Irene?

The next guy clapping his hands I slit his throat.

Sounds like everyone's loving the little play.

I have an idea for us to have fun too.

Is something the matter? -It's...

It's the first time I've done this.

With a woman?

No.

In a bathroom.

There's a first time for everything.

They're alive.

Where is my wife? -It's him. He's here.

He found the door.

He must be scared and wanting to go back.

Maybe if we talk to him we can make him see sense.

It doesn't seem to have done them much good.

What are you looking for? -A mobile.

Here's one. -Ok.

Do you remember the number? -I do.

Come on. -What are you talking about?

What's this? I don't understand anything!

I'll explain you everything later. They won't get here in time.

Unless I manage to buy us some time.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to talk with Fadrique. -He will kill you!

He is a heartless murderer.

Don't worry, you won't go back with him.

Amelia, take this lighter and do what I'll tell you.

All right?

Where might she be hiding?

Not here, my lord.

What are you thinking?

How many more bottles we'd need to drink...

...before we work up the courage...

...to kiss.

I thought you were never going to make a move.

You could have made it.

Don't answer it.

No, no. I don't even know who's calling.

Well.

I'm sorry. Wait. It'll just be a moment.

Yes? -We need help.

What's up?

There's a time door in the castle.

Is this a joke? -No joke.

What kind of help? -The kind that carries weapons.

We're dealing with a feudal lord from the 13th Century. Call Spinola.

Wait.

Wait a second.

I'm afraid he's just about to arrive at Ostend.

I'll see what I can do.

Problem?

Yes. Big one.

Tell us where Constanza is hiding...

...or suffer the consequences!

Nobody is going to say where my wife is?

Very well.

Then you will see that I am a man of my word.

Her!

Enough! -Alonso, please, it's just a play!

Don't take another step, or you'll die.

They say that you are a gentleman.

But gentlemen do not use force against the defenseless.

Kill him.

Fadrique!

Hey man, that's Ramon Garcia, right?

Touch this man and you will burn in hell.

How does he know your name?

I know all!

This isn't a play, is it? -No, it isn't.

You, Fadrique, have murdered a poor shepherd named Sancho...

...solely to wed his lover, Constanza!

And now you threaten to kill more innocents.

Does this seem to you like the behaviour...

...of a man devoted to God?

This can't be.

You cannot know all that. -And yet I know!

And I know that, just as God rained down burning sulphur...

...on Sodom and Gomorrah to condemn their evil,...

...he shall do the same on this heathen!

The sky shall open up to give way to a storm of fire...

...of a thousand colours!

You will be reduced to ash for what you have done!

No, I don't believe you.

You do not have to believe me.

You simply have to look at the sky.

Set fire to the sky!

Set fire to the sky!

Set fire to the sky!

Fuck!

All right.

Set fire to the sky, fuckssake!

It is the devil in person!

The Lord is punishing us!

We will leave.

But we won't leave alone.

I have lost a wife.

But I have just found myself another.

A cheer for the newlyweds!

Hey, I just mopped up.

Go out! Quickly!

We will seal the door to this hellhole!

We are missing Nuño. -Nuño! Nuño!

Nuño will not be coming.

I wish to speak with you. -Alonso!

Do not worry. Soon we will return home.

Go back from where you came from, while you still have time.

If you are as brave as you seem, you'll fight in a duel with me.

For her. To the death.

Do you know how many duels I've fought in my life?

However many, it appears you have won them all.

If you are so skilled with a sword, what does one more matter to you?

Are you crazy?

Don't worry. This will all be over soon.

On that we agree.

You are so lacking in honour...

...that you cannot even respect the rules of a duel.

The only rule is that he who loses, dies.

My reflexes are uncanny.

Finish up. You'll be killing an unarmed man.

Duels between gentlemen are duels to the death.

But you do not deserve to be treated as a gentleman.

I trust you will fight in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa,...

...as history says.

I trust that the other men of King Alfonso are better than you.

Las Navas de Tolosa? There has been no battle there.

There will be.

Leave now!

Get out!

Who are you, Alonso?

I will explain everything. But right now we need to get out of here.

I'd best wait for you outside.

I pardoned the life of that wretch.

Though I wanted to crush him. -You did the right thing.

No one move!

My men are outside awaiting orders. Where should we go?

Spinola, you're too late. It's all already been resolved.

And nobody thought to call me?

Why else do you have these so-called telephones?

And to think I left Ostend for this.

If Bucquoy manages to raise that dike,...

...you'll all regret it.

Hey look, another one of them actors. It's all go here.

Where did you get that uniform, mate? The fancy dress shop?

Who is this imbecile? -Someone had to do it.

Well, if you don't need me, I'll get back to Ostend.

Gentlemen.

Has something happened?

Looks like we've missed the show.

Yes, and you don't know what you missed.

This wedding has turned out...

How shall we say? Rather too medieval.

Alright. I'm sorry about everything that happened.

Yes. I'll wait for them here.

How did it all go?

Badly. But it could have been terrible, so we mustn't grumble.

Will you give me a report on everything?

Of course.

See you. -Right.

Marisa.

Yes?

Well,...

...if the phone hadn't rang...

I thought the same thing.

But it did ring.

And maybe that was for the best.

You think so? -I don't know.

But fate is what it is. -Yes.

And it's a real shit.

Take care.

Who could have known there would be a door of time in that castle?

So it's just bad luck.

Yes.

And we can't complain.

The guests who weren't part of the Ministry...

...all believed they were watching a real theatre performance.

It definitely helped that most of them were drunk.

Absolutely.

Making people believe that that was all an act would take some balls.

Not even the BBC has actors of that caliber, that veracity.

What worries me is Constanza.

Returning her to her time is not an option.

Fadrique will be there waiting for her.

And she'll end up throwing herself off the battlement.

It was a terrible thing to be a woman in that time.

In most times. You don't have to travel very far back to see that.

Excuse me, but I just found out about what happened at Ortigosa's wedding.

How is everyone? -Fine, given the circumstances.

Thank God!

I'm going to change and help out with anything I can.

Just a moment, Angustias.

Angustias, don't change just yet.

We may have a new novice for the convent.

Anything urgent?

No. Personal matters.

Hello?

Let me call you back later.

You will be fine and surrounded by wonderful women.

And you're going to eat so well, I'm telling you.

Come in. It's this way.

Don't touch it, it's still boiling.

I am going to destroy that devil of a microwave.

I press the... -Alonso.

The last thing that matters to me right now is the microwave.

There are two phrases I hate in life.

One is: "It's not what it looks like". And the other: "We need to talk".

They both come in handy.

I think we need to talk.

And I need to know if what I saw at the wedding was what it looked like.

Let's have a seat.

This could take us some time.

My brother-in-law complained about his wedding because it rained.

You've got to be kidding me.

Amelia, Constanza is going to be fine, you heard Salvador.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

Great. In that case, I'd love to hear...

...what you were going to say to me at the wedding.

Now I'm just like everyone else.

What are you talking about?

My future is a blank page once again.

I don't understand.

In this picture, there was a baby between us.

And now it's disappeared. As if by magic.

There was a baby between us?

But our wedding was just a sham.

Look at this sham yourself.

What happened to make all this change?

I slept with Pacino.
