Previously...
Luther denies that Rome mediate
between God and men.

With abundant generosity, I have given
60 days to that heretic to withdraw his words.

If he does not,
he will have to be arrested immediately.

If I lose the Pope's favour, the threat of
England and France will extend to all of my borders.

I propose you a peaceful agreement.
Encourage Henry to meet me for this aim.

May everyone know the the dauphin
and my daughter will be man and wife one day.

Hern�n Cort�s,
why are you coming to me?

On the order of my lord, the King of Castile,
I come to show you the true faith.

With the man who represents him here,
Hern�n Cort�s, I will govern these domains.

Cardinal Wolsey had a meeting with King Francis.
They are planning an alliance.

- We are leaving!
- Your Highness, it was only a game!

Let us return to the banquet.
Win in magnanimity, at least.

He is dead for me!

You will govern Spain
during my absence.

The rebels of Castile
have taken Tordesillas.

Declare that the throne belongs only to you, or the enemies
of our cause will not stop until they annihilate us.

- Do you want me to overthrow Charles?
- Ferdinand didn't propose to be candidate.

If you have any grudge because of this,
it should be towards me.

I am introducing you the new Archduke of Austria,
my brother Ferdinand.

I will only marry Charles.
Either Caesar or nothing.

You will go to Portugal
to marry King Manuel.

I regret to inform you that my husband,
the King of England, sealed grave agreements with France.

Agree to our conditions. And let us isolate
the French with our agreement.

He took away an empire from me and now he takes an ally.
What harm have I done to God to deserve Charles?

They have revolted. They seems to be obsessed
with fraud! And our men even more do.

They believe the Mexicans are preparing it
as a disguise to attack us.

Stop!

We will not leave
this place.

Either we escape or this will be
our last dwelling.

Heresy and War

Sent by Hern�n Cort�s,
Captain and Chief Judge of Yucat�n,

to the very high and most powerful Caesar,
Se�or Don Charles, Emperor and King of Spain.

We are referring
to the things

that happened during
the conquest of the city of Tenochtitl�n

and the other provinces
that rebelled.

As the deaths of the Spanish
was in our hearts,

it was my will
to return to the city.

We promised everyone that we would not depart
without victory or leaving there our lives.

More than 6000 souls died,
inculding men, women and children.

Those from the city fought
and they were such a crowd

and they gave
so many cries and roars,

that it seemed
the world would break apart.

They sacrificed every Spanish
who they caught,

tearing out their hearts,
to offer them to their idols.

Since the day we approached
the city, until they ran away,

75 days passed,
with many dangers and misadventures

that the subjects
suffered.

Very Catholic lord:

May God, Our Lord
maintain your royal person,

and enlarge you with augmentation
of greater kingdoms and lordships,

as his true heart
wishes.

That Cort�s
destroyed an empire.

He did. Will you name him governor
of the conquered territories?

Not yet.

Now all I have to think about
is the Diet of Worms.

I am glad of it.

No doubt, that is your first
great challenge as emperor.

At the assembly of Worms,
Your Majesty,

you will meet all the princes
of the Imperial States.

There will be petitions
to pay attention to. As usual.

True. But, first of all,
the princes want to see

the new emperor.
To offer an opinion.

Those princes has already proved themselves to be
very expensive to us, and they want even more.

That is why we should prepare
this meeting with the greatest care.

Worms will mark the beginning of your governance,
Your Majesty. And it will not be an easy task.

Forgive me for being
late, Your Majesty.

A letter has come
from Rome.

The Pope wants to know why I have not
done anything against Luther yet.

My lord, it is not only the pope
who that heretic defies with his taunts.

But also the empire
and your authority.

- Hand him over to the agent of Rome.
- Luther enjoys the affection of the Germans.

Going against him would be going against
Frederick and, hence, against the princes.

Is this how the Emperor should
introduce himself before them

- in their first meeting?
- There should be only one faith in the Empire.

That is what maintains it united,
and the emperor takes care of it.

Several threats are preying already
upon our borders, Lord of Chi�vres.

So it is best not to provoke
more conflicts in the inside.

- What we cannot do is...
- Enough!

I know
what I have to do.

Gentlemen, I ascended
the throne eager for glory,

with the plan of demonstrating to the world
the power of the Crown of France.

And, thanks to this
the Duchy of Milan belongs to you.

No doubt, Charles has
similar pretensions.

Half of Spain
has revolted against him.

And the German nobility is not going to
prove themselves to be easy.

Will that soothe
his longings? No.

In the best of the cases,
that will only delay them.

I have decided to attack
the Emperor on several fronts.

Navarre, where Albret will enter
with the support of Lesparre.

While Charles rearranges his troops
to keep the attack off,

we will invade
Luxembourg.

His first duchy.
Itt will not cause him rejoicing.

I've foreseen the he will counterattack
from Germany and Naples towards Milan.

That is why I will reinforce
our presence in Italy.

I will send the Lord of Lescun
to the Duchy of Milan in order to help Lautrecet.

- Any objection, Constable?
- Sire...

I am worried less because of the plan
than because of the chosen men to put through.

With all due respect, the Lord of Lesparre
is not the appropriate man

to command the offensive en Navarre.
And the Lord of Lescun...

No doubt, Lautrec will be very glad
to receive his brother's visit,

but entrusting them with the defense
of the Duchy of Milan seems temerity to me.

And I suppose your reserves
has nothing to do with the fact

that they are the brothers
of Fran�oise de Foix?

Rather with the fact that this would be his only
action worth mentioning in his sheet of services.

Questioning their capacity of command,
you doubt mine, too.

I am your councillor, Your Highness.
And the leader of your armies.

I have to behave
as such.

Then go and respect
my orders.

My lady, I am not applying to you
invoking a friendship when we know it is devastated.

But our quarrels must not
impede that you intervene.

But I agree with your son
in something:

the future of France
is at stake.

Are you asking me to criticize
the King himself in a matter of war?

I am applying
to your common sense.

I ask you
to bring him to reason.

It is been a while
since he doesn't listen to me.

If he wants to give proof of his love
for his mistress,

it would be good to find
a way of doing it

which doesn't lead
France into disaster.

Welcome! I am pleased to congratulate you
on your victory in Tordesillas.

The King thanks you for having
rescued his mother and sister that way.

Not all the news
are good.

The fall of Tordesillas
should have provoked the surrender

- of the other rebel cities.
- But it didn't.

I thought I could soon
tell His Majesty

that Castile was
in peace again.

Padilla has reorganized his forces
and it has encouraged the rebels.

However, there is something.
I have the impression that we didn't capture

Tordesillas only
because of the determination of our men.

Someone could smooth
the way for us.

- Explain yourself.
- Do you remember Pedro Gir�n?

- He wanted the Duchy of Medina-Sidonia.
- But His Majesty denied.

His men protected the city
but made an unexplainable decision,

a mistake, which let us
open a breach and recapture it.

Do you think he did it
to favor us?

We have no proof
but it is our sensation.

An interesting supposition...
What do you suggest?

It may be advantageous to know
what Gir�n has on the brain.

Tell me,
Gir�n,

why did you leave the southern access
to Tordesillas unprotected?

We saw the opportunity of capturing
Villalpando, and we did so.

You know well
that we succeeded.

Are you saying that it seemed opportune
to lessen the defense of Do�a Joanna

to go on the conquest
of another place?

An unusual strategy, no doubt.
And very risky.

Is there a precise accusation
behind your words?

Because, if there is,
a knight should say it face to face.

Many people ask themselves
the same question,

but I have interceded
for you.

I thought
I would understand your reasons,

however, you are not giving me
arguments to defend yourself.

It seems it is not engough,
neither to you nor to the others,

that I have risked my fortune
and name because of this cause.

Maybe you were led to the conclusion
that your presence

amongst us
costs too much.

I am a grand
of Castile.

You cannot even imagine
what I can lose.

But those who think
that I am one of those traitors

who turned their eyes
back towards the Crown,

- those will have to confront me.
- Calm down, Gir�n.

You have fought bravely. And that is
why you will remain by our side.

But you will only lead
your men.

Traitor or not, the loss of Tordesillas
has dispersed the despondency.

Now there are voices that suggest
that we should negotiate with the nobles.

Having reached so far
to end humiliated!

It is not the moment to regret
but to fight with more fierceness against the enemy.

Right. In Burgos,
there are still

many people who are loyal to our cause,
and we can recover it.

Padilla, they respect you
more than anyone.

If they know that you are going there
they will support us.

Then let us go
as soon as possible.

My lord...

John.

Tell me,
father.

Soon you will be King of
Portugal. I want...

I want you to take care of
your stepmother and sister

as if you were me.

I will,
father.

Promise me...

that you will not marry

until you have wedded
your sister with the Emperor.

Promise me.

I promise,
father.

Father...

Your father's death
makes me a widow

and condemns me
to go back to Castile.

It will not be
tomorrow.

Do you think that Charles
will not demand me without delay

in order to wed me
with whom he wishes?

The Emperor will respect your mourning.
I am sure of it.

My dear friend, that Caesar
whom you dream to marry

doesn't have a heart.
I assure you.

How can you say such a thing
about your brother?

Because I know him.
He sacrifices whoever he needs.

Including his most beloved ones.
Everbody, on the altar of his interests.

Listen to me,
Eleanor.

When I marry your brother,
and God know that this day will come,

I will intercede for you
and I will do my best

to give you a worthy husband
for the Queen of Portugal.

To hand over Luther?
How can you think of such a thing?

Have you not read
his letter to the Pope?

- Has he retracted his words, finally?
- Not exactly.

But in that, it remains quite clear
that Luther is loyal to His Holiness.

His critics aim at
the Curia of Rome.

Maybe your protege should be
less prolix in his writings

and think over his deeds
with more prudence.

We are not here
to argue about theology

nor to judge someone
who is right.

I could order the arrest
of Luther today.

And you would have to
hand him over.

However, I want to give him
a last opportunity.

There is somehing in which
Luther and I agree.

I also believe that a reform
in the Church is expedient.

But the debate should take place
inside of the Church itself.

Not on the margin.
Nor against Rome.

Do you think that
this thing is possible?

I will spur
the covoking of a synod.

There, he and many others
will be able to expose their ideas.

But I have
a condition:

he should retract his writings,
just as the Pope demands.

And he has to do that in public,
at the assembly of the Empire.

You promised that your subjects
would be judged unbiasedly.

I understand that Luther will have
the opportunity to defend himself.

I keep
my promises.

And you?

Will you convince him
to show himself?

Who assures me that you will
not use the opportunity to arrest him?

There will be nothing
against him.

You have my word.

I would like to find the best
way out of this conflict.

Your Majesty.

France is
attacking us.

Damned Francis!
He has chosen the moment well.

A typical ability
of serpents, Your Majesty.

The problem is
that he surprised us.

We cannot pay attention to
so many fronts at the same time.

And the French
knows that.

We have to reorganize our forces.
That will take a time we don't have.

Gattinara, you are going to
travel to England immediately.

Your Majesty, I very much doubt that
Henry will accept to enter into this war.

He assumed it
if France attacks us.

He will not do it. But he can
mediate to get a truce.

A truce to gain time
and reorganize our armies.

I trust you.
Do as much as you can.

- Each hour yields our favour.
- Your Majesty.

Soon Francis will be
a poor king,

or I will be
a poor emperor.

It is true that you have the privilege
to choose your men.

But also the obligation
to have the best ones.

And what makes you think that
Fran�oise's brothers are not those?

That no one consider them worthy
of such honours,

except you and, I suppose,
your mistress.

Have you allied with my cousin
against Fran�oise?

With whom else
you conspires behind my back?

I forbid you
to doubt my loyalty.

You are the King of France
but also my son. I gave birth to you.

I have created you.

It is not reprehension
but frank worry

that we both feel
because of your caprices.

I don't make decesions
lightly, mother.

And I will not dispense the lords of Foix
from the entrusted missions.

But, since you are so worried
by this campaign,

you should know that I will march on the front
of my armies in Luxembourg.

And I will let your friend,
the Constable, know that.

You need to rest.

Tomorrow is going to be
a long day.

Every day is long,
brother.

The fronts that I must pay attention to
are multiplying. My days are lacking hours.

I wonder if I will have time
to fight so much fire.

My enemies belive me to be vulnerable.
And they dare to swoop down on me.

Are you, maybe?

We all are,
in some moments.

They are, too,
then.

It will not take long
before they uncover that.

One by one,
Your Majesty.

One by one.

Alright, then.
First, Luther.

Then I will go to Francis
on the front of my armies.

And I will
go with you.

I would not lose the defeat of
that arrogant French for all the world.

Luther must not show himself
before the assembly of Worms.

It is a grave mistake.

You are not someone to question
the decision of the Emperor.

And we should stay silent
when it can bring damaging consequences?

Before leaving
for England,

use your influence
on him, please.

Convoking the heretict
before the Imperial Diet

gives him the opportunity to diffuse
his ideas even more, if that is possible!

As if it were not
enough with his books.

But we must trust
in the Emperor's good judgement.

- No, we must protect him from himself!
- Hold your horses, Lord of Chi�vres!

We cannot calculate the consequences
Luther's presence.

But His Majesty has given
his word. He has to keep it.

Don't cry more,
please.

I hope that what I am going to tell you
would ease your pain.

What is it,
my lady?

Does the idea of marrying me
displease you so much?

No. No, Your Highness.
It is not that.

I understand that
it could seem to be abrupt.

The King's death is still recent,
but the council of the kingdom...

My lord, you know the settlement
your father signed.

In that, there is no word
about a wedding with the heir.

My brother will not hesitate
to demand my return to Castile.

Do not worry.
I will not bow to him.

Listen to me.
Please.

I have had a secret for a long time
which devours me from inside.

I love you,
Eleanor.

I love you from the moment
I saw you coming to the palace.

You don't know how many nights
I died of jealousy.

How I hated my father
because I knew that you are in his arms.

Your Highness, please...
have you gone mad?

God know that
I am saying the truth.

My adored Eleanor!

I know you feel affection for me.
That is enough.

And I have the hope that one day
you will love me as I love you.

Ah, my lord.
I...

I would like nothing more
than stay here but...

Tell me, have you sent
an embassy to Castile

to arrange my wedding
with the Emperor?

No.
Not yet.

Your wedding
will have to wait.

The Royal Council has decided
that I should marry Eleanor.

That is the most useful
for the Crown.

- You promised our father...
- You don't have to remind me!

But to wed you with the Emperor
requires a dowry

that Portugal cannot give
without emptying the treasury.

However, my wedding with Eleanor
doesn't require a dowry.

It is a wedding
between equals.

- Are you not ashamed?
- Hold your horses, sister!

I understand
your frustration.

But I am not going to tolerate
that you don't respect me.

You! Do you dare
to demand respect?

My lord!

Burgos is definitely
lost.

The King's men are not only
adroit with the sword,

- but also use the fear.
- They have scattered the terror

- among our men.
- Our cause is just.

We should not
lose faith.

You are right.

Now that Burgos is lost,
we only have one chance.

There is a place, on the line which unites
Valladolid with Tordesillas and Rioseco.

Torrelobat�n!

From that point, the region could be dominated.
If we capture Torrelobat�n,

we can cut the supplies
of our enemies.

And prepare
the counterattack.

What are we waiting for
to go there?

No. This time,
you will not come with me.

After a defeat like this,
I need you in Toledo. Mar�a...

The flame of the rebellion
must not be extinguished

in the cities
that are still loyal.

And, in Toledo,
they respect you as much as me.

Promise me that
we will see each other again.

Not even death
could impede that.

I love you.

Thank you for coming
to my call,

but, above all,
for trusting me.

I want to think that the word of a grand
is worth as much as that of another.

Including
in these troublous times!

You will wonder why I have
proposed this meeting.

The war which sets us against each other
can only end in one way:

- with the victory of the Crown.
- Time will show.

There is a natural order.
Nothing can change it.

This order allows that now
we are conversing as equals

- in spite of fighting on opposite sides.
- You are shuffling.

Be clear and explain to me
what I am doing here.

We want to offer you
a treaty.

Help us catch
the leaders of the movements.

I have heard about
your differences.

Do you also consider me
a traitor?

The only traitors are those
who will pay for their acts,

when this ends the way
I have already explained.

You, however, could not only
get forgiveness,

but also improve
your situation.

I suppose, of course, that you are
talking in the name of the Crown.

I am.

I am interested in your offer
but I know what I want in return.

So that felon demands the dukedom
that I denied from him once?

It seems that the cause what united
him with the rebel side was not another.

And now,
he returns to the trail.

What audacity! He should be
satisfied with keeping his head.

I understand your anger but Castile
is bleeding to death in that war.

Gir�n could help us well
to end the revolts with one blow.

Okay. He will be duke, then.
But I will not give him anything else.

Now let us see
how the heretic defends himself.

Worms, 17 April 1521

Do you recognize
those books?

Yes, I do.

- I wrote them.
- They contain scandalous, erroneous,

offensive ideas,

and seductive
for the simple souls.

They demonstrate your attack
against the doctrine of the Church.

Do you retract
these writings?

Do you retract them?

I need time
to answer.

Time?

You, who use words
with such an ease,

need time to answer
with a yes or no?

I would like to
think over my answer.

In order to be fair to the word of God
and the health of my soul.

You must give
the answer now!

Now!

- Give him what he wants.
- No!

He should answer
without more delay.

Do you not see
what is happening?

You have one day.

Tomorrow, you will show yourself
before us with your answer.

He should have retracted his words!
That is why he had to appear!

It would be good to talk
to his protector.

To learn how Luther reacted
to your recommendation.

Wake up, Your Highness!
The Saxon has fooled us again.

If we act against Luther now,
we will make him a hero, a martyr.

How long would the nobles hestitate
to abet their peasants against you?

But, if we let him go,
his ideas will spread like weed.

A trap...
I have fallen into a trap!

Catch Luther,
my lord.

Rome demands it.
Nobody could reproach you for it.

Do it, and the Germans will consider you
a footman of the Pope.

You gave your word
that Luther would not be arrested.

You kept it!
And the heretic didn't.

Let us wait until tomorrow.
That he gives us his answer.

For being so young,
you are too cautious!

You should not wait for the blow;
you should forestall it!

We will wait
until tomorrow!

You are doing skinny favour your emperor
with similar pieces of advice.

The weed

can only be eradicated
by the root.

You sold your defeat
dearly,

and your people paid for it
well with blood.

You won.

You fought bravely.

You don't deserve
to die.

You are my prisioner.

But you will get a treatment
worthy of your position.

Your privileges will be respected.
You have my word.

Don't be ashamed. Only cowards
and people without honour should be.

Even defeated, he is still
a great leader for his people.

He is more useful
alive than dead.

Sir.

We've suffered very much together
to reach so far.

But remember,
that my suffering

began before you reached
these coasts.

What are you
getting at?

- I would like to return to Castile.
- Go, if that is your wish.

You fulfilled more than enough for me.
And for the Crown.

Aguilar,
my friend.

Thank you...

My lady.

My lord...

- Help me.
- Calm down. What is the matter?

With all of my strength, I would like
to be faithful to the word of God.

But...

- I fear the strength fails me.
- Listen to me carefully:

no one, except for God,
should judge you.

Is it not what you suggest
in your writings?

Each person has the salvation
of their soul in their hands.

Neither the Pope nor the Curch of Rome
could mediate between believer and God.

Well then, if you have faith
in what you write, you have nothing to fear.

- And tomorrow?
- I will be with you.

Be faithful
to your conscience.

Sir!

You convinced your men
to follow you

with the promise that they would
go back home as rich men.

And some of them can't even pay for
their weapons. I know it very well.

We saw a treasury
with our own eyes!

We conquered an empire
to get it! But now...

I'm also disappointed
in the booty.

I assure you, my part and the royal fifth
cover their miserable payment.

If we knew
where they are hiding it...

I swear we will not stop
until we find it!

Cuauht�moc...

must know
where they are hiding it.

The men ask what you are waiting for
to obligate him to speak.

I won't torment someone who fought bravely
in order to knead our greediness!

We should behave
in another way with him.

There are some men who suspect of
your softness with the defeated...

They think you know
the whereabouts of the treasury,

because they think
you are a friend of Cuauht�moc.

If they have the guts,
may they dare to say that face to face!

- Calm down, my lord!
- Take your anger out on me, if you wish.

Do it!
But I warn you:

they consider you the last obstacle
which stands between them and the treasury.

And we both know the way
obstacles are eliminated in these lands.

I don't worry about the men,
I worry about the King!

In Castile, they believe that here
it is enough to hold out a hand

to fill it with gold
again and again.

What would happen if those rumours
came to the ear of the Crown?

How long would Vel�zquez hesitate
to take away the governance

of these lands from me?
How long?

- Have you been discreet?
- Yes, my lord.

Here what we agreed is.

I have complied.
Now, it is your turn.

- Of course.
- You cannot fail. I warn you.

Now go.

I hope you thought well
over your answer.

Yes.
I did.

And, as you wish,
I am going to give you that.

While I do not confute
the Holy Scripture

or the evident reasons,

unlike popes and synods,
which often contradict one another,

I do not want to,

and I cannot
retract my words.

Because that would be going against
my conscience and God's word.

May God help me!

He condemned himself, Your Majesty.
It is the moment to arrest him.

You have a charter
to leave the city.

Do it
while it is still effective.

Then your luck
will decide it.

Discover who was the man who
achieved to escape, but do nothing.

I only want
his name.

You are still in time to save yourself
from an unnecessary suffering,

and to save me
from a painful task.

Please...

Tell me where
you are hiding the treasury.

If you say it, I will do that
you and your people stop to suffer.

One more time!

Do what is necessary
to make him speak.

Do it until
he finds his tongue.

More!

- I told you that you had nothing to fear.
- Thank you.

I thought I would never see
the light of the next day again.

That is how
it could be.

But the one who wanted to finish you off
will not have another opportunity.

Calm down, my dear friend!
Please.

How do you want me to calm down? You are going
to impede my wedding with your brother.

I would never do such a thing, Isabella.
You know how much I respect you.

What will happen
when the Emperor learns it?

Go back to Castile, or you will be
accomplice in my disgrace.

Do you not understand?

If we don't fulfill the agreement,
he will refuse to marry me.

Are you asking me to sacrifice
my happiness for yours?

Your happiness?

My brother doesn't care about you.
He only wants to save the money of my dowry.

You are the one
who doesn't understand it, my lady!

I am the Queen of Portugal,
and I wish to stay here!

So this agreement
is also good for you.

John is nearly my age
and I feel great affection for your brother.

You...

- love him?
- I will get to love him.

I know I will.

No doubt, my brother and you
will make a good deal with your union.

But not on my cost.

Will you break the promise you made
to our father on his deathbed

only to slip into bed
with his widow?!

Since when are you
so miserable?

Don't give up on Eleanor if you desire her
so much, but marry someone else!

Is it not the dowry
that troubles you?

We will compensate mine
with that of your wife.

Enough!

Dear sister,
your offer is unworthy.

Because I love Eleanor
deeply.

But, above all,
it is useless.

Your beloved emperor
is engaged

to the daughter
of Henry of England.

Read.

Read!

You said it yourself:
either Caesar or nothing.

I fear
it will be nothing.

How is it possible
that we lost Torrelobat�n?

The Count of Haro claims
that the Count of Melgar

hadn't hasked him to go to
the defense of Torrelobat�n,

- the Count of Melgar blaims the Count of Haro...
- And who is responsible?

- The two and all of them.
- Don't come to me with puzzles.

The lords don't want to fight
a battle against the comuneros

in their properties. They fear
that those will be destroyed as reprisal.

The rebels' commitment
with their cause is greater

than the nobles' loyalty
towards their king.

They only look for
their interests.

They are not in hurry to win the war.
They wish the victory of the Crown,

but not before the Emperor understands
that he cannot do anything without them.

So much ruses
disgust me!

What about our deal
with that Gir�n?

Be patient, Your Reverence.
He has to do it it the right moment.

There is another thing...

The nobles entrusted me
with that you should transmit

a message
to His Majesty.

They want me to pay
the wage of their armies!

The nobles of Castile differ
from the Germans in very few things.

You could only expect from them
as much loyalty as you buy.

We don't even have resources
to satisfy them!

Have you thought about what to do
with the seized properties of the comuneros?

You need to satisfy
the nobles.

Promise them indemnifications
when they finish the rebellion.

Thank you.

I will do so.

He is here now.

And now, let us face
another liar.

Your Majesty,
forgive my mood.

You surely know that
when Luther was last seen...

He was entering in the forest of the Palatinate.
It seems he never left it.

And the two guards who accompanied him
were found dead.

It is quite bad news,
especially for you,

since you guaranteed
his safety.

I fear it calls
your word in question.

Should we believe that Luther
dissolved into thin air, my lord?

Do you think that
I have something to do with this?

The moratorium I gave him
has expired.

Luther haven't withdrawn his words
and will be declared a runaway.

Any man in Germany
could take his life,

and will not go
against the law.

If they haven't done it yet.
May God not want that.

Because the consequences will be
terrible for all of us.

Listen to me
well!

If I regret anything it is having given him
the opportunity of defending himself.

He only deserved
the stake!

Let him know that.

Thank you for the endeavour
you have put in your negotiations.

They have given us
the time we needed.

But I hope that you are not very tired,
because you should leave again.

I will go anywhere
you need me to.

We should compensate Rome
for letting Luther escape.

Give this message to
His Holiness, Leo X:

I promise to conquer Parma
and Piacenza for the Papal States.

And add that Luther
has been declared a runaway,

and his writings forbidden
in the whole Empire.

His Holiness should be
satisfied.

You offer many things
in return for a heretic.

For a heretic and a synod,
don't forget that.

Because the Holy See needs
something more than opening its windows

to frighten
bad moods away.

Your Majesty...

Please excuse me.
I feel somewhat indisposed.

- Should we call the physician?
- No. It is not necessary.

You get ready!
We are leaving for Valenciennes.

I will not be
without your advice on the front.

It will be an honour
to accompany you.

It seems to be written that Francis and I
have to see each other face to face

on the battlefield.

I know how much
you respected him.

The arm of the German princes
is longer than we thought.

Are you sure
he was poisoned?

We will have to be
more careful.

I am sorry
for your loss.

I am glad to see you again,
in spite of the circumstances.

I trust you will soon let me
enjoy your company.

I will do my best.

If I am not mistaken,
the Crown owes me 700 000 pounds,

which I was willing
to advance from my fortune.

That is right,
my lady.

I believe the moment has come
to collect my debt.

My lady,
with all due respect,

a war is going on,
is this the best moment?

You are not mistaken, but I also
have to face my expenses.

Let us leave it in 400 000
and not talk about it anymore.

I understand your reserves,
but the money is mine.

I will answer
for my deeds.

Pass it to me
without more deferment.

Se�or Padilla,
a letter!

What is it?

Mar�a.

The royalists cut her way,
and she had to find a shelter in Toro.

But they are under siege,
and those are twice as many as them.

She will not be able
to resist for a long time.

The letter
is a farewell.

She asks you not to change
your plans for her.

- And should I abandon her?
- Think it over.

It is not wise
to abandon our position.

If her calculations are correct,
the royal forces exceed us.

She is my wife,
Maldonado!

What would you do
in my place?

We will leave a sufficient garrison
to defend the castle.

The others, we are leaving
for Toro immediately.

You, with me!

My lord, the Emperor could
hardly collect 15 000 men,

including the army
of the Count of Nassau.

You have 3000 spears
and 30 000 infantries,

among Gascons
and Swiss.

Consider also the superiority
of our artillery, Your Highness.

Have they built the bridges
over the Scheldt?

They will be ready
at midnight.

We should attack
once the bridge builders finish.

No, don't be
precipitate.

Sire, let us not give occasion
to the enemy to regroup his armies.

Do you want to throw my men
into an attack in the middle of the night?

It would be
suicide!

You are as arrogant
as imprudent, my lord.

Your Highness, we have the opportunity
to win the war with only one battle.

We could capture
the Emperor himself!

We will wait.

Do you trust him?

No.

But this time
he is right.

This is now or never.

What do the scouts say?

That the French are
twice as many as we are, my lord.

The Count of Nassau made
incursion with his men

and he confirmed it.

What would you do
in my place?

The most prudent thing would be retreating
and waiting for reinforcements.

- Do you want me to avoid the battle?
- I ask you to adjourn it.

Until our forces are equal
with the French forces.

We must attack, damn it!
That is what they least expect.

Fall over them
with me on the front!

- Stay in the rearguard.
- What kind of emperor would do so?

An astute one,
Your Majesty!

If they take you prisoner,
the war will be lost.

Charles is retreating?
Are you sure?

He left on the front of a thick escort.
Many people saw it.

And what are you waiting for
to cut his way?

Too late,
Your Highness.

Go away,
then!

The generals are still waiting
for your orders.

And they will get them in the nick of time.
I said, leave!

Damned bastard!
Thousand times damned!

Speak!

Enough!

He can't serve us
if he's dead. Get out!

Your stubbornness drives both of us
into a corner. Don't you see?

What are you
going to do?

If killing him with my own hands
satiated my men's greediness,

I wouldn't doubt for an instant.
I assure you!

We could do nothing
but face the truth.

And trust that
God protects us.

Villalar, 23 April 1521

Surrender!

Save your men
from certain death.

Because the defeat
is the only thing waiting for you.

Be calm, Padilla. Because your wife
is not enclosed in Toro.

We will catch her
in Toledo.

Traitor!
Thousand times traitor!

Santiago, freedom!

I warned you,
my lady.

Your son caused
an irreparable harm to France.

He let the Emperor escape. And he is
so foolish that he will lose the war soon.

May God forgive him.
I cannot.

Our army recovered Parma
and Piacenza for the Pope.

And that is not all,
Your Majesty.

We took the Duchy of Milan
away from Francis.

- Magnificent! What about Luxembourg?
- We subdued the French.

In Navarre too. The Imperial army
entered into France,

and did so
in several places.

Thank you.

Finally, the wind seems
to blow in our favour.

Your Highness...
Mail from Italy.

But what the hell was
Lautrec thinking? Damn him!

How could he let them
win in Italy?

The Constable was right.
My mother was right.

I should have never trusted
in your brothers!

Don't blame Lautrec
for the defeat.

He had to let them
go after booty.

What would you have done
if you had had nothing

to pay the Swiss with?

Excuses! I ordered to send him
the money. What did they do with it?

Maybe you should
ask your mother.

Did you keep
Lautrec's money?

- Leave.
- Did you keep it?

It was mine.
The Crown owed me.

400 000 pounds?
I lost the Duchy of Milan,

and all because you decided to collect
your debt in the worst moment!

Don't blame me for the defeat.
I warned you about the de Foixs,

but your pride
made you blind.

That was your objective,
wasn't it, mother?

To prove that about
Fran�oise's brothers and herself.

You did this. By entrusting them
with a mission they were incapable of.

Do you realize
the consequences of your deeds?

My dear son...

I have never betrayed you
and I never will.

When will you understand
that I am the only one you have?

That I am the only one
you can trust?

Your Holiness! The Emperor
has recovered the Duchy of Milan.

Your Holiness...

The Pope is dead!

The Holy Father is dead!
The Pope is dead!

What a misfortune!
Now that he was on our side.

A great loss
for the Church,

but, especially,
for us.

Who is the candidate
with the most possibilities to succeed him?

Cardinal Wolsey,
no doubt.

They also said that
Francis would be emperor.

We will have to send an urgent mail.
Follow me!

I promised you gold and riches,
if you accompanied me.

And I haven't
forgotten that.

Just like no one will forget
the treasury we say there.

With God's help,
we could recover a part of the gold

that took many of us
with itself to the bottom of the lagoon.

But that is not enough.

Never enough.

Moctezuma's treasury

is lost.

Maybe forever.

However, we were the first people
to come to these lands.

We suffered
like animals

and behaved like animals
to subject its inhabitants.

Now you will
gather the fruits.

But not with weapons
in the hand,

but by governing
these lands,

your lands,
with justice.

But one law should be
respected above all.

Those who raise their sword against me
or against any of my men, will die!

You are a reliable man.

You are precipitate,
Johanna.

Because you have not enjoyed
my company yet.

My lady... You know
that I don't intend to do you harm.

I promised that I would intercede
for you before my brother.

I fear it is too late for that,
Your Highness.

Do not yield.
It is not like you.

In any case...
it would not have been appropriate

to send back to Castile someone
who maybe carries in her belly

the future King of Portugal.

Are you not happy
for the good news?

I am glad
to see you together.

On better terms, I hope,
than in the last days.

That is right,
Your Highness.

Se�or Bravo,

yesterday was a day
to fight like a knight.

Today is to die
like a Christian.

My lady...

If your pain did not hurt me
more than my death,

I would consider
myself happy.

I would have liked to have
more time to write you

some things
to comfort you.

You, my lady,

as a sane person, cry for
your ill fortune and not for my death,

which,
being so just,

should not be
cried by anyone.

I do not
want to linger,

not to cause trouble
to the executioner who is waiting for me,

and not to give the suspicion that
in order to make my life longer,

I am making
the letter longer.

I am leaving,

because I have
nothing else anymore,

my soul
in your hands.

Do with it like with the thing
that loved you the most.

And I am staying
this way,

leaving this pain,

waiting for
the knife of your pain

and of my rest.

Next time:
Eleanor will come back, like it was stipulated
in the contracts, once she gives birth.

You are the King of Portugal.
You should act like that.

In the Emperor's name
I am offering you an alliance.

I beg you, Your Majesty,
we should find a way

to stop this fight
that no one desires.

If you decide to execute
Monsignor Antonio Acu�a,

I will see myself forced
to excommunicate you.

I see you have the courage
to show yourself here

when the Emperor has put
a prize on your head.

How do I know
that I can trust you?

Your wife is very ill.
She is dying.

Rome is informing me
that I have been elected pope.

- If the Emperor and I...
- Ingenue!

My brother will
never marry you!

What the hell is
going on in Portugal?

- Has something happened to my husband?
- They're suggesting here that he has another woman.

Rome cannot sink on its knees
before the Empire.

Find out as much as you can
about Do�a Germaine's situation.

If you rule
it is because I permit it.

I will ask for the protection
of the highest authority!

Don't you dare!

By God, I will
do my utmost

to prevent you
to be taken away from me.

Go for her and drag her here if you must.
She should come back immediately!

You sold me.

What kind of maltreatment have I given
to him that he offends me this way?

Call His Majesty.
It is urgent.

We will attack France
on three fronts.

I am leaving for Italy
with my men.

I need to know
if I can count on you.

We could not have better booty,
gentlemen. He is the King of France.
