I come in peace, kind sir. I am but a humble traveler
I saw your fire and was drawn to the smell of your cooking
nowadays, people don't help travelers anymore
charity is dead
I knock on doors, but no-one answers
my guts groan like an empty canteen
- you're hungry then? - Hungry...?
My stomach thinks my throat's been cut
my last meal is a distant memory
you want some meat?
- May I have the wineskin? - Here
I was lucky. Doors were opened for me
they gave me bread, meat and fine wine
it was a farm, about fifteen miles that way
a young married couple. She was crippled but very nice
he was a hard-working man
decent people. And good christians
you dress like a knight and yet you're begging
how so?
I am of noble blood, but I gambled and lost it all
land, money, honor
even my horse
this suit and my sword are all I have left
I'm on my way to enlist in cérdoba's army
to fight in calabria
I hope to achieve glory
war is my last chance, and I don't mean to waste it
I'm skilled with weapons and don't lack courage
I was a soldier too
conquered granada, fought in the canaries and fedhala
you're a veteran
but it seems noble service has not invested you with much glory
my luck ran out
I was wounded in the chest
it left me unable to work
I had to take to the road and beg
life is tough indeed
that's quite a tale
but you were no soldier
I know your problem
like most who travel the road...
You don't want to work
I don't like your words
in fact, I don't like you at all
you're just a sorry bum and your every word is a lie
you bastard!
Nobody calls me a liar!
I'm blind, you whoreson! Is this how you repay me?
Not so poor, then
it's gold!
Gambler, you've lost again
you only hold one card now, it says: Hell!
The devil incarnate
It's a beautiful world
I shall enjoy it
Thief! You take advantage of my state to Rob me!
Shut up, you, and keep on shitting
drop that melon, it's mine! You rogue!
I'll kill you, you miserable thieving bastard
chew on this
Christ almighty! The pain!
You broke my skull
I hear running water, is it a spring?
Eating and sleeping are all you're good for...
But my feet are aching, and I need to rest
help me
give me that
We must eat thriftily, son, gluttony is a sin
- a terrible sin - Yes, my lord...
But your share is four times mine
how dare you? You cheeky rascal
I rescued you, gave you clothes, a job, food...
- And this is how you repay me? - Forgive me, master lucio
please, let go! You'll tear my ear off!
Tomas... Tomas...
Is someone here?
Unless it's a rabbit in the bushes...
Nothing here
Tomas, get me more water, that herring was salty as hell
hurry!
What's taking so long?
You lazy rat
you're worthless, Tomas
What's this, you fucking bastard?
You give me piss instead of water, do you want to poison me?
Me, who's been like a father to you
don't, sir, he'll drown
he'll drown
thirsty, eh?
Well, drink your fill
- no! - You would spare him?
Yes - after all his evil acts?
He's a bad man, but I don't wish him dead
very well
may I join you, sir?
He'll kill me when he gets out
- I'll be your new master - Thank you, sir, my name is Tomas
and mine, Leonardo
you'll find, Tomas, that man is the truly evil being of creation
- that's why the devil's work is easy - But there must be good men
there are some
but it would be easier to find a flying mule
think what was done to you. First, your mother leaves...
Even an animal wouldn't do that to its offspring
you're taken in by a relative who feeds you on pigswill
he works you until you faint from exhaustion
- they did give me a hard time - Think about it
one wretched master after another
they beat you and starve you to death
they were bad people, it's true
the rich shit on the poor, suck their blood like leeches
so the poor slit their throats in return
that's humanity
in this world all is ignoble and lowly
everything here has a price... A lady's virtue, a gentleman's honor
but you're not so bad
why didn't you kill that old bastard?
I was just in a good mood
it matters little
his days are numbered anyway
I am certain he will go straight to hell
we'll be taken care of here
a hot supper and a roof to sleep under
some rascal I met on the road told me these were good people
- You're an early bird - There's much work to be done
I must tend to my master's lands. A whole day wouldn't be enough
your wife, Ines, seems a kind and caring woman
I'm a lucky man
she's diligent and honest
she has a slight limp in her right leg
she fell from the dovecote a year ago
by the grace of lord Jesus, she survived
she suffered fevers and delirium, but she healed eventually
it was the lord's miracle gave her that limp
his will be done
inés will fix you breakfast
and if you chop that firewood...
When I return I will give you food and money for the road
god be with you
farewell, brother
and thank you for your charity
you dim-witted peasant
your wife is gagging for it
you shouldn't leave her alone with me
the trumpets of Jericho wouldn't wake him up
I'm off to get breakfast. Maybe I'll have a double helping
Hello, my pretty
good morning
did you sleep well?
I've been sleeping outside
so your stable was a palace
- you want breakfast? - I'd be most grateful
I'm ravenous
what of the boy? He must be hungry
he sleeps like an angel. It seemed cruel to wake him
you'll like this
please start. I baked the bread myself
Then the muslims came, and beat us badly
what kind of god aids the wicked when they outnumber the good?
- You have a good voice - You liked that?
This is what they sing at court these days
I've never been there, but I'd like to
my husband won't take me
he doesn't take me anywhere
you're a beautiful woman
there's passion in your eyes
if I were your husband, I'd never leave you alone
please, stop this talk
last night, I saw your fire, your thirst for love
please, god... I'm a married woman
I must keep my virtue
who needs virtue?
I can pleasure you...
As your husband has not done for years
just think of that
holy mother, keep me from temptation
Anyway, my leg will disgust you
I'll anoint your wound with my lips
Let's... let's go upstairs. Quickly
upstairs... we'll be alone there
Oh, god
such pleasure
I've never felt this before
it's like...
Being possessed by the devil!
Will you return?
I will, precious. I always do
I never work for free and I've served you well
since you are fully satisfied, you must pay me
pay you?
I don't understand
give me your money or I'll gut you
don't hurt me... I'll tell you
come on, hurry up
help me, holy apostles
the apostles weren't on your mind when we were fornicating
open it
quickly!
A poor show, considering who fucked you
have mercy
that's many years of savings
we need it to buy seeds and the sheaf
what will become of us if you take it all?
Down! Down, or I'll cut your throat
dear god - shut it...
Or you'll be pregnant
and give that husband of yours a child
You see, I always brand my cattle
so long, slut
I don't mean to object to your methods...
But weren't you a bit cruel?
She had it coming, the cheating whore
Tomas, my friend, money is a fine thing
one is allowed to do anything to get it
- anything? - Yes, even murder
religion, conscience, laws, that's for losers
for success, sell your soul to the devil
- but what of the punishment? - Punishment, my arse
would you like to dress as a noble, with servants and a fine house?
To lie in your bed with fair damsels?
Of course, but I don't see how
just listen to me and you'll live to be a rich man
tomorrow, we take our first steps
we will earn a few ducats
I don't understand
when we stopped at the inn, and you went to get wine...
I heard two servants talk of a journey...
They will go on tomorrow, to buy some land
it seems their master, Lopez, is the region's richest man
apart from dealing in land he's a usurer and moneylender
what does that have to do with us?
Boy, are you slow
we'll ambush him and take all his gold
I know just the place
but he will be heavily guarded
this won't be a robbery
through Lopez's own greed, we will get the money without a fight
here's the plan
on that road, by some ash trees, there's an old house
the floor has collapsed, leaving a very deep pit
You gave that peddler a good slap, my lord
made a noise like a hollow pumpkin. You may have killed him
I had to
I needed his clothes to disguise myself
I understand, sir, but that poor peddler...
Better for him if he does die
the pit is through that archway. You must guide them to it
- understand? - Yes, my lord
Why did you decide you had to come with me, blanca?
You're just a burden
I know too well your weakness for inns and wenches
I'll always watch you
damn bloody cow, to the devil with you!
Ready now... go!
Sto.. Sto.. Stop here. Sto.. Sto.. Stop...
Wh... what do you want, boy? Why do you stop us?
You see, sir... that man...
He's found this sack full of ducats
he's a little... touched
he gave me the sack, and showed me where he found it
he does sound like an idiot
so, what can I do for you?
He found the ducats in that old house over there
I slipped my hand under some rocks...
And I felt more sacks
but I couldn't get to them
the rocks are too heavy for me to move by myself
s-s-s several sacks, you say?
Yes, sir. And I offer you a deal...
Your men help me move the rocks and we'll split the ducats
Rodrigo! You, roque and famorano...
Go with this lad and help him
won't you join us, sir?
I-I-l wish I could, but my gout... I can't walk
you'll have Rodrigo with you, so no funny business, right?
Come on... What are you waiting for?
- I'm scared - He really is mad, blanca
Leave him, Carlitos! Mad people are dangerous
oh, Juan...
Can't you see this bastard is touching my breasts?
Your breasts?
You mean your udders, you bloody cow
he really must be mad if he enjoys doing that
you idiot! You're an idiot!
And you my beloved wife are god's punishment
Carlitos! Don't come any closer
anything can happen with these mad people
e-e-easy, blanca, easy
and you, Carlitos, stay away. Stay away...
Juan!
I can't believe this!
He mocks and offends me, in your presence
and you do nothing!
Don't make such a fuss about a little piss, woman
he's just a poor fool with jelly for brains
- can't you see that? - Yes...
Can't you see he's to be pitied?
It would be a sin to attack such a one
he plays with your necklace like a small child
can't you see?
A small child, yes, but with a big rod
good heavens, look at the size of it
- did you say something, blanca? - No, don't worry about it
you never cease g-g-g... grumbling
what's up with you today?
Where are the others? What's going on?
Don't worry, sir
I've just come to tell you it'll take a bit longer
the rocks are hard to move
The sham is over, milord! We'll have all your gold
the usurer and his cow wife wear fine clothes and jewels...
While others starve
strip them of everything, ducats, jewels, clothes
scoundrels! Thieves! Villains!
Maybe...
But your greed is the cause of this
a boy and a madman should be easy to trick, right?
You'll end up on the gallows and then straight to hell
I'm already in hell, you cow
it's you and your scarecrow husband...
Who'll end up in old Nick's cauldron!
It'll be night soon and no-one will find us
we'll either freeze to death or be eaten by rats
- why did you choose this road? - It seemed to be the s-s-safest
a wise choice then
by the holy virgin... Why did I marry you?
My mother warned me!
Sh-sh-shut your mouth, you cow. I got the worst deal
I'm a martyr. A martyr!
Shut your mouth
they were so keen to get the gold that they fell right into the pit
they must have broken every bone. How they screamed...
Pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, sloth
how easy it is to condemn a soul. By the devil, how easy
- my lord, is it good Booty? - Tomas, we are almost rich
soon you will live like a lord
I'll buy clothes in the next town. You shan't dress like a pauper
let's knock on this door. We'll spend the night here
what if they won't take us in?
Remember, now we can pay we'll have a roof to sleep under
I'm really tired
I'll tie up the mule
Good evening, madam
forgive us, but the road is long and we are tired
I saw the light and hoped we might find shelter
come in
it's a sad time for us, but we've never refused a traveler
Tomas, look after the mule
don't worry, I'll show the boy to the stables
bring the bags in after you've taken care of the animal
follow me
My husband squandered our fortune
we were the most powerful family around here
we had a coat-of-arms, we had nobility
all that's left is my maid petronila and two old servants
he died in a duel on account of a woman
the creditors bled me dry
all I could save was this house and some land
a sad story, lady urraca, I sympathise
but none of that would matter if I could save my daughter
I've consulted the best physicians
none has given me any hope
she will die soon
why have you told me all this? I'm just a stranger
and you...
A fine lady
I trust you, sir
it's a long since I talked to anyone
can I take a look at your daughter?
- Are you a physician? - No
my healing arts are better
I've been to the spice countries, and learnt their secrets
trust me
let me see your daughter
She's almost as fair as you
what's her name?
Berenguela
tell me...
What would you give for your daughter's salvation?
Everything
absolutely everything, even my own life
then I shall save her
count on it
what do you want in return?
I want you
for one night. There is no other way
I've not been with a man since my husband died
what you ask matters more than my life
you're asking for my honor
That is my price, madam
if my daughter is healed, then you shall have me
get me hot water, and plenty of clean towels
- you have a herbarium? - Yes
take me there
I need some herbs
then I'll remain with her until dawn
I must not be interrupted for any reason
understood?
My child
madam...
Your daughter is cured
- I've honored my part of the deal - As I will honor mine
I'll be waiting for you tonight
I brought you some fruit
- you're young and you must eat - Thanks
many thanks, madam
your master has healed my lady's daughter
is he a sorcerer?
Not at all! He's just a very wise man
he spent some time in the indies. He knows many healing arts
all the best physicians came to see berenguela...
And they all said that the child was beyond hope
then along comes your master and heals her in one night
I don't get it. He saved her...
You should be happy
I fear his help may come at a great price
It looks like it will be a lovely day
I'm leaving, madam
I'll not forget this night. And I'm certain you won't
Beautiful woman
I can't say which is fairer, her body or her soul
a fine garden for my seed to grow in
my lord Leonardo, you are lucky. She is such a kind woman
we'll buy horses and clothes. I've big plans
our look must be fitting
Berenguela
my child
berenguela!
My girl... dear god, no!
Berenguela!
She's dead?
She's dead!
I committed mortal sin for this
for nothing
I knew that traveler was the devil himself
I knew it
you will learn from me that human friendship...
Is just another deception
but, my lord I think of you as a friend as well as a master
yes, but I must also benefit from it, of course
yes, Tomas...
Men murder, steal, cheat, envy, hate, and for what?
To end up with the devil himself
my lord, you paint such a dark picture of the world...
I lose the will to live
on the contrary, we must seek money and pleasure
with those, life becomes a precious gift
a treasure
now, on with our travels
we head for a famous inn, between burgos and aranda
By the devil, this is a fine sword
I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't like weapons
Tomas, the hilt of a sword is like a little bird
grip it too tightly, and you throttle it
that's a rule that every good fencer...
Must learn
I'll sleep outside. I hear the Miller's wife is quite a woman
she's having an affair with a swordsman
the Miller went to aranda for some grain
the lovers have a date, and I need solace
sounds like a dangerous affair
even I have heard of that swordsman
- be careful, my lord Leonardo - Don't worry
and rest assured that tonight I will enjoy that woman's delights
you're leaving me alone, my lord?
Alone?
Tomas, haven't you understood that man is always alone?
No more will you fornicate, braggart
My love... What's taking you so long?
At last you're here
Oh, my nuno...
You're so good, you scoundrel
you like it better in the dark, don't you, my love?
- Yes, yes - Nuno, you sound hoarse
it's very damp outside
yes, of course
- Nuno, you're much bigger - Herbs...
Some herbs I got from a witch
nuno, I can't take it anymore
do it... do it...
Like that...
Maria! Maria! Where are you?
Damn, it's Ramiro
- I thought he was away - Maybe the deal went wrong
mother of god... hide...
Quickly!
Maria! Where are you?
Ramiro, my husband. I was up here, in the hayloft
I come home exhausted and then I go crazy looking for you
- why are you back so soon? - The deal didn't happen
I could have stayed at the inn, but I prefer my own bed
especially with my own fair lady
Ramiro, I'm glad you're back
why are you naked in the hayloft?
- Naked? - Yes, naked!
It was too hot in my bedroom
- you're a strange woman - It's true, I was hot
well, I'm cold to the core
come here, Maria... I need warming up
a boot? A boot!
With spurs
- a boot, you say? - Yes, look, it's a boot
how did it get here?
A man... l smell a man here!
Good evening, cuckold
sweet virgin! That's not nufio
my... my dear sir...
This boot, this fine boot... Is it yours?
Yes, of course it is
yes, it's mine
now give it back, you cuckold
Turn around - pardon?
Come on, turn round
drop your pants - huh?
Do it!
Who are you?
The devil, you whore
the devil incarnate
as for your nuno, you'll find him in the woods, stabbed
berenguela, my child
I don't want to give birth. You must not be born
it's only been two days, yet I can feel you in my womb
your strength...
Is causing me... such pain
We'll stop at burgos then continue on to court
I never thought I'd see the city
I told you, Tomas, with me, the world will be yours
- If no-one comes, we'll die like this - They stripped us of everything
- nothing left - It's a punishment
after what we did to the usurer and his wife
punishment?
By Satan and all his legions, this is just part of the job
Tomas, someone's coming!
Here, brothers! Help us!
Herel here...
Dear brothers, you've saved us
may god reward you
the convent those friars mentioned must be near
the nuns will take us in, and give us hot food and a bed
and maybe more
we beat and stripped those pilgrims
that's quite a sin
Tomas...
You've travelled with me so long, and still you speak of sin?
Come, the convent must be near
we were in Santiago
wonderful seeing so many pilgrims there
and the stately swinging of the botafumeiro censer
both our souls took great comfort...
In walking the holy road in order to reach jubilance
in this house, pilgrims are always welcome
Mother elvira, in a village near compostela...
I exorcised a girl...
Inside whom dwelled beelzebub himself
after a long struggle, he spewed from her mouth...
As a stinking black ball
are you a qualified exorcist, father?
I am and I've solved some difficult cases
- very difficult - Providence sent you, no doubt
praise the lord
praise him
are you having problems?
There's a demon in the convent
three novices show signs of possession
even I am beginning to feel attacked
he constantly tempts me
sister filomena
she's so old, poor thing
in bad health and eats too many beans
from her farts she sounds in excellent shape, mother
Don't worry, I will study the case...
And cast that evil spirit out of the convent
The wicked one strikes at night
touches my breasts and tries to seduce me
I fight with prayer and penitence but he's getting bolder
tell me, mother, what does he look like?
Does he take one form, or several?
L... never open my eyes
I just feel his hands on my body
the case seems complex
it will take a few days, but we will cast out this demon
it will be difficult, for Satan is a cunning adversary
but no demon can defeat me
a fine turnip, thick and long
yes, father. Turnips grow well here
- the secret must be the irrigation - Yes, irrigation is good here
who's he?
He grew up in the convent
he was found abandoned
he was already here when I took over the place
he's a simple soul, and helps us with the hard work
this garden certainly produces good turnips
- I'm sorry, father? - I was thinking about produce
and now, please, I'd like to be alone to meditate
as you wish. The bell will ring when dinner is ready
Who did that?!
Don't move!
What have I done to you? What do you want?
For the next four days, Mr. demon, stay away from the novices
and the abbess, or I'll cut your dick off
and then slit your throat
yes, father, whatever you say. I swear
Tell me, mother superior, is the devil married?
No, of course not
yet he is always depicted wearing great big horns
I don't understand, father
does he have a tail shaped like an arrow?
Maybe he has, but in some other place
not shaped like a harpoon, and more tempting and pleasurable
father, please! The things you say...
Most people, even wise men, claim he has hooves, like a goat...
That he's colored black or red...
- And he smells of sulphur - We all know that, my lord...
Father
As an exorcist, I know him well
you yourself could be the devil
or this man, or that other one
or even you, mother superior
or I, myself
or that old nun who snores and farts like an earthquake
Tonight, master Tomas...
Mother superior will know what a real exorcism feels like
and tomorrow I'll take care of those sweet novices
what if there really is a demon in the convent?
- There's been one for years - What?
That young rascal who works in the garden...
By day
by night, he amuses himself by visiting the cells
nice work - indeed
but you know what?
The flowers he's cultivating will be plucked by another
Mother...
Stand up
do as I say
Take off your clothes
- all of them? - You must
you must be as the lord brought you into the world
Stand like on a cross
- The wicked one tempts you here? - Yes... yes
And also... between my legs
Get thee behind me, Satan! Begone!
I'm the only cock in this Coop, my brother
my head is spinning
By all the devils...
What happened?
Where am I?
My lord Leonardo... you've been fighting death for five days
you a fever... Like you were burning in hell
my poor neck
how it hurts. I can't remember a thing
that gardener fellow hit you so hard...
He nearly broke your back
- then he came looking for me - Rascal... criminal
he had a knife that even goliath would have found big
he came looking for me and took me to you
when I saw you, I feared the worst
forgive me but you were bleeding like a pig
that rat, took me by surprise
he made me carry you, threw us out of the convent
by the way, you're heavy as hell
my back still aches
- where are we”? - In a whorehouse, my lord
the only place that would take us in
from convent to whorehouse...
How strange life is
the madam is called leonor, a fine-looking woman
seems all the important men come here for fun
from all the big towns around, from burgos, aranda...
Even from the court itself
good, master Tomas
that's very good
seems we're back in business
This is dona leonor, the madam
sit down, my boy
I see you're back among the living
I prayed for you
and the saints always listen to me
dear lady, I don't know how to thank you for your kindness
I'll never forget this
I'll clean your wound and change the bandages
I was telling your boy there is work here for both of you
occasionally, some rather rough fellows come here...
And we need a strong man...
To knock some sense into them
Madam... do you have a garden?
No
The fruits we offer do not grow in a garden
no garden, no gardener
good
as soon as I'm well Tomas and I will work for you
with great pleasure
you went with la palentina last night
so what?
I was your first, and I can be very jealous
you woke up the bird, now one nest is not enough
- but my nest is the best - If you're so sure...
Let the bird try others it'll always return
they're fancy people
we'll get a nice pile of ducats
- will they bring guards? - Of course
the roads are dangerous
I certainly know a bit about that, my sweet
come along, get a move on, we have guests coming
we have to get ready
life here is good here, eh, master Tomas?
Relaxing, lots of good food
beautiful women
You've learned the ways of love
- which nest will it be tonight? - I'm tired
tonight I shall sleep - me too
tomorrow those rich men arrive...
Ready for us to empty their pockets
I can already hear their gold jingling
my lord, I'd like to... I don't know...
It doesn't matter
there's something you want to say
go ahead, speak and I'll listen
my life has been short and wretched
I've known nothing but hunger, pillage, death
I don't like the times I'm living in, my lord
the past was no better, nor will the future be
this is not the work of time, but of man...
And man makes the same mistakes and commits the same sins
the future... I have faith in the future
a time when war, injustice and misery will be ended
the future, eh?
Have faith in the future?
You're almost falling asleep
come
Sleep...
And tonight you'll see the future
you'll be surprised how much better the world will be
You slept badly?
I had horrible nightmares
horrible
- you liked the future? - How did you know?
No
My dreams were terrifying
they made no sense at all
the future can't be like that
perhaps you're right, Tomas
my lord Leonardo...
Who are you?
I'm no-one
just a humble traveler
- I knew you'd come, you rogue - Does it bother you?
I'm flattered
come in
let's see if your weapon...
Is up to the job
you'll be amazed
I'm a great swordsman
Having fun, Don ifigo?
Lust and gluttony, together like this...
Brings joy to my heart
it's like ancient Rome and you're the vestals
my mistress leonor loves the ancient times
says they were better than today
obviously your mistress knows a great deal about pleasure
yes, indeed
I'm her best pupil, and her favorite too
What's that young boy called?
Tomas. He's not been here long
he's handsome
a bit rough, but good-looking
very good looking
- aren't I good-looking? - Yes, of course, but...
Dona leonor...?
- I'll pay any price for that boy - The price is high, Don ifigo...
Very high
name it - at least...
- How much? - 100 ducats
done
Your eyes sparkle as if you hear the jingling of gold
Don liigo crespo, that fat, pink man...
The one who looks like a pig?
Yes, he's rich and very greedy...
And when he wants something, he'll pay any price
and our porcine guest wants to hump Tomas
I noticed, my fair procuress. But the lad is my friend
sure, you old rascal
and he'll pay 100 ducats...
For the delights of your young squire's rear
Don lfigo is a whimsical character
no arsehole on earth is worth a hundred ducats
we'd split it fifty for you and fifty for me
- no friendship is worth 100 ducats - Then it's tonight?
Tonight, my sweet trollope, tonight
pigface there must sleep in my bed...
With at least three of his men ready
the lad is wiry, but tough
he'll be hard to hold down
So much work
help at dinner
get the rooms ready
take care of the horses
my bones ache
I'll sleep like a log
let me go!
My lord Leonardo, we are under attack!
Who are you?
Pull his pants down and hold him in position
what are you going to do? Let me go, you fiends!
Come now, don't fight against the sweet practices of love
relax! It'll feel good... It'll feel good, my boy
Here, you old rogue, as agreed...
Fifty for you and fifty for me
100 ducats, not a bad Booty is it my queen of whores?
And all for just one arse
I'm sure when you took us in, you saw Tomas as a good investment
I'm a businesswoman
I can see that
I can see that, even though your face is not too fair...
And you're a bit fat...
You do have beautiful eyes
I can have my whims too, Mr. Leonardo
me too, dona leonor, I love money...
And 100 ducats is more than fifty
you're just a dirty thief!
True, very true
I'll also take the horses of your fine guests
- don't try to wake them - Are you going to kill me?
I should
but you were good in bed, and that saves you
now, drink to my success
come on, keep drinking
and now drink that one
come on
My god... Why did you let it be born?
It's... it's a monster
show it to me
I I want to see it
no, my lady
you shouldn't
that's my son. Don't you understand?
- My son! - It's Satan's son
it's the devil's spawn, and it must die
now, while there's still time
I'm the sinner
it's not his fault
I carried him in my womb
please
swear to me...
That you won't hurt him
but we cannot...
We must not allow it to live
swear to me...
That you won't harm him
that you'll protect him
swear it!
I swear
Burgos 22 I eagues
My dear Tomas...
Soon I'll introduce you to the finest people at court
you'll meet their majesties
you'll have all you desire
you'll be rich and admired...
And when I die, you'll inherit my entire fortune
first of all, I want to find my former master
I want him to remember me well
my men will find him
and if he took the main road, then we'll find him very soon
We meet again, master Leonardo
- you missed me, didn't you? - Indeed
six days I've hunted you
but I would have spent years looking for you
I would have gone down to hell if necessary
may I sit up?
Please do, sir
So boring
I must admit I'm astonished, Tomas
I never thought you'd enjoy taking it up the arse
or that you'd become fat ifiigo's whore
I thought you'd try to get revenge on your porcine rapist
that's how I felt at first
but then I recalled your wise teachings
my arse's honor was taken, so I decided to make the most of it
Remember when you showed me in a dream...
A dreadful, apocalyptic future?
I'd like to know what awaits me at court
I believe you have this ability to see the future
- will you indulge me? - Why, of course, master Tomas
you'll have money, fame, glory. The most beautiful women
indulge in every evil. Cheat, steal, murder
you'll die an old man, in peace, surrounded by your loved ones...
And then you'll go straight to hell!
So, master of thieves, I know my own fate
now, you'll know yours
beat him until every bone is broken
and then, do what you want with him
Angels of hell! Come to my aid!
Get these men off me!
Wretched man. You'll have an unworthy end
Oh lord! How could you give your life for these pigs?
I don't understand
I don't understand!
What are you doing?
Thieves
bastards
sons of bitches!
Swines
Sons of bitches...
Don't be afraid, brother, I come in peace
I smelled your cooking...
And my poor, empty innards led me here
I couldn't help it
charity is waning in the world, my friend
no-one helps the poor
yet, you seem to be doing quite well
nobody gave me anything
I stole all of this
I need company, and someone to talk to
I'll share my food in return
my loneliness is unbearable
let me tell you an old legend, a tale of the devil
I'll happily listen, I like legends
once upon a time the devil was getting bored
so, transformed into a mortal, he visited earth
he accepted the weaknesses of the flesh
he could get sick, or even die
he rarely used his powers, for he thought things would be easy
he started off poor, so he could grow through mischief and evil
what human could beat him? For he was the devil
- I want to hear more, brother - Of course...
I've given you food now you must listen to me
go on, I'll listen gladly
- you're a good lad - Goodness is my only guide
I shall proceed
the devil committed every sin, fornicated, killed, cheated, stole...
And became rich
he had fun. He was happy
he begat a son, and he loved. But then his luck ran out
he was swindled, mocked, robbed and beaten
love stole away his power
he ended in misery
the poor devil found that men were more wicked than he was
what a sad moral
your story is sad indeed, but it needs a happy ending
bastards! You will all end up with me
all of you...
Gold?
Take the gold!
All you want is gold!
Mankind...
I curse you
I curse your evil ways
I shall live inside you, inside your souls...
For all time
down all the centuries
