Original subtitles

Alonso is that you?

Are you my guardian angel?

Yes.

I am and I will be.

Yours

and our son's.

I would like to embrace you.

but you are a spirit.

I will be one again after you embrace me.

Ah! No!

No! No!

Ah. No, no.

No.

No, no!

No. no.

No, no, no.

No! No, no.

No! Ah.

No, no, no. No, no, no.

No, no.

No.

Ah!

I am sorry.

I heard screams and I thought that you were in danger.

Is something wrong?

A bad dream?

Yes.

It's always the same nightmare.

My dad.

You changed history.

You saved him.

Sometimes I'm not sure.

Have you ever thought...

that there could be

different timelines?

Like parallel worlds.

In one my dad's still alive.

and in the other he kills himself.

I prefer not to think so much.

Just one past is enough for me.

What I have learned is that history can be changed.

What can not be changed are the memories.

Chapter 12 The Monestary of Time

... Christ.

In the name of the Father...

Here you are. Sorry.

Hey, I didn't know..

Relax, I had already finished.

Should we eat, or what?

I am continually surprised.

- Amazing thing. - Toaster, it's called a toaster.

There is always something to surprise me in these new times.

Me too.

You know how many things have changed since the 80s, c'mon.

The Internet, and I'm not even sure what that is yet,

mobile phones,

the... the remote control.

They all seem like inventions from "Star Trek"

It was a space ship.

-that went around investigating new worlds - Yes, yes.

Alonso.

What's going on?

Just that I do not fit in these times.

And in mine I have no one left.

I am a man out of place.

- Is that why you pray? - No.

I pray every day, but because I have fought

in a thousand battles and I am still alive. I thank God for that.

That's good, that's very good.

You do not pray?

- Me? C'mon. - Not even confession?

I just don't see the point of talking about my life

with a guy in a long skirt.

Work.

- Shall we go? - No, no, no. You're staying here.

- You have two days off to move. - How can I stay?

You're staying, if not, later when it's my turn they'll take away my days.

Know what you're going to do?

Study this, the instructions for the washer and the microwave.

And later explain it to me, because I don't have a clue. C'mon.

We've received an alert from Tordesillas.

- Is is Juana "The Mad"? - No, God no.

- What a mess that was. - No.

It's not Queen Juana "The Mad"

You'll have to travel to a year that Miss Folch knows well,

- 1808 - The War of Independence

- El Empecinado again? - No.

It concerns Napoleon Bonaparte himself.

Napoleon? But, didn't you tell me that we can't travel outside Spain?

Napoleon was in Spain during the War.

- In Tordesillas, as a matter of fact. - I love her, she knows everything.

Hold on, let's see.

- Do you know who the Beatles are? - No.

Um... Serrat?

Mister Spock?

- Superlópez. - Who?

You see? You don't know everything.

I applaud your knowledge of pop culture,

but we have an important matter to take care of.

- Of course. - Excuse me.

Yes.

Fine, at Christmastime in 1808 the French Army, under Marshal Ney,

arrested three Spaniards accused of espionage.

On of them was the priest in Tordesillas.

They inprisioned them in the monastery at Santa Clara.

- And what happened to them? - Did they kick the bucket?

No, no. A snowstorm forced Napoleon to stay there

and take up residence in the monastery.

The abbess, Maria Manuela Rascón, spoke with him

and managed to save the men.

"Madame"

Tell me what the letter says, daughter.

The short version, it's bone-chilling cold.

Yes, abbess.

Well then, what is the problem?

Napoleon is demanding to stay in this convent, mother.

The one that "kicked the bucket" was the abbess.

Mother Manuela!

Mother Manuela, are you well?

Mother Manuela, speak to me.

Pay close attention to me.

We have to save those three men

or the Spain that we know will cease to exist.

- Are they that important? - You can't imagine how much.

One of them is an sixth-generation ancestor of Adolfo Suárez,

Prime Minister of Spain from 1976 until...

Until January 21, 1981,

the day that he resigned.

I'll never forget that date as long as I live.

Exactly, the day that you came through that damn wardrobe. Fine.

The ancestor is named Rodolfo Suárez.

He married one Rosa del Amo,

whom he met in that very convent.

Is anything happens to them, Suárez won't be born.

and the reforms and the transition to democracy will all go away.

Hold on.

Do you know all the ancestors of all the presidents?

And everyone who has influenced the history of this country.

The Ministry concerns itsef with their safety and that of their ancestors.

And these things happen often?

Not too often. The last time was 5 years ago

when we had to save one of Iniesta's ancestors.

- Who's that? - No idea.

People, let's concentrate, we have an important problem to resolve.

It's useless to use force. Napoleon will bring an army.

- We save the abess's life. - No, that doesn't guarantee anything.

The abess died of a heart attack.

If we save her, I doubt that her heart will survive meeting Napoleon.

We only have one option left, replace her.

But, how are we going to replace the abbess?

She's 60 years old, and smart as a tack,

-she's incredibly confident. - I know I'm supposed to knock,

but I only have two hands. I can knock or I can carry the coffee.

Is something wrong?

Would you stop typing and listen to me since I'm your boss?

I've said no, and no is no.

A... Angustias.

Angustias, what if... I give you a raise.

Eh? I'll give you a Christmas Bonus.

What good with money do me? It will be my goose that's cooked.

Listen, have you ever heard me beg anything of anyone, ever?

- No. - Good, well, I'm begging you.

But it's not going to work.

The only experience I've had with nuns was in school

- and I still have the marks from their pinches. - You'll do fine with them.

The important part of the mission is the conversation with Napoleon.

Ah, great, that makes me feel better.

You're only asking me to go see Napoleon, not Father Damian.

Don't think of him as an emperor, just as a regular man.

Plus, you won't be alone.

And... And you speak French, right?

Well, about my French...

It might be that when I put "proficient" on my CV,

what I meant to say was "low basic", or more like "not a clue".

Fine, we'll give you an earpiece, my god.

Don't insist, please.

Angustias.

Angustias, I'm going to be honest with you.

You are my secretary, but...

I consider you my friend.

That's why I dare to ask... that you help me...

to save a friend who is no longer with us.

You see, Prime Minister Suarez always believed in me.

And I've believed in you.

If something happens to his ancestor,

you and I... would never have met...

and neither you or I would be here talking.

All of our past...

would fade away, forgotten.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, José Carlos.

If Alonso could see me in this get up...

- he would die laughing. - Why, because of the hair?

- You're more handsome like that. - No, no, because of the robes.

- Nothing, inside joke. - How's Alonso doing

- living in this time. - Like you'd expect.

If it's hard for me, imagine for him.

All the people that were closest to him

- are in paintings in the Prado. - Poor guy.

Cold...

Hot...

Amazing.

I'll go see him. I want to talk with him, take him some clothes and money.

What a sweet gesture.

Well, I know through experience that adapting to a new time

- is a delicate situation. - You aren't from this time period?

No.

And don't ask me which time I'm from, because I won't answer.

The boss is taking a while to convince Angustias.

- If he can even convince her. - Looks like he could.

Here comes the flying nun.

Don't say a word. I know I look like a penguin.

I thought you weren't coming.

I had to get dressed and read up a bit.

Did you know that Napoleon had 13 siblings?

- Poor mother. - And that when he was young

- they called him Nabulino. - Poor kid.

Well, the time has come.

- Didn't you want to go see Alonso? - Yes.

Then I'll accompany them from here.

Thank you.

I bet you don't know Napoleon's favorite dish.

- Calamari. - No, silly.

He loved "le poulet au vin avec pommes de terre."

That's what I said.

- Here we are. - I can't.

- Of course you can. - Really, I can't.

You'll do fine, Angustias.

You wouldn't be going if you weren't the perfect person for it.

- More like the only one. - The best, even if there were more.

- Truly, I promise. - If you say so...

- Ready? - Let's review. Names.

Amelia Ruiz.

My name is Carrasco, Rufino Carrasco.

Mother abbess Maria Angustias de la Esperanza.

Suárez's ancestor is named Rodolfo and his future wife, Rosa.

Very good. Shall we go?

What choice is there...

Welcome. I'm Rosa, the convent errand girl.

Sister María Angustias de la Esperanza?

I am, at your service and the service of God.

I am Father Carrasco.

Sister Amelia and I have come from Valladolid

- accompanying the abbess. - I am chancellor to the bishop.

Thank you.

It's a shame you've come at such a sad moment.

But the French have men imprisioned here.

Are they well?

As well as one can be, when he know what waits for him.

María Paula and María Antonia will show you your cells.

I will accompany Father Carrasco to the guest quarters.

It's where the bishop stays when he visits us.

Shall we?

Thank God you've arrived safely.

- We've heard horrible things. - The French go into the towns

loot everything, slitting the throats of people they find.

- They don't even respect the clergy. - They are not men.

They are truly beasts.

We pray every day for God to protect us.

Come this way.

It's a trick, it's a trick.

I take care of running errands, greeting visitors...

- But I'm not a nun. - No?

You don't know how happy that makes me.

Don't misunderstand, it's just that...

You don't have to be a nun to serve God,

so said the Lord. "Be fruitful and multiply."

And when you're a nun, well... you don't multiply much.

You might not believe it, at times I've though about taking the vows.

Ah, yes?

But I have so many doubts...

- Now more than ever. - Now?

Yes.

One of men imprisioned by the French is my...

Your fiancé.

How did you know?

God... guides me.

And instructs me.

I still remember the first time I saw him.

Rosa.

Rosa. Rosa.

Oh, Father, he is so handsome...

I can see that.

And I love him so much that...

My God, I don't know what I will do if they kill him.

Peace, daughter, nothing will happen to him.

I promise you.

- There are more priests than people in this country.

Thank you, Father.

"Bonjour"

"Bonjour."

- "Bonjour" - "Bonjour."

This is Father Carrasco. He is staying with us for a few days.

This is Marshal Ney.

- "Enchanté" - "Enchanté bocup."

Excuse my French, but it's not very good.

"C'est beaucoup mieux" than my Spanish.

No problem.

Your French will get better with practice.

"Au revoir".

Or as you say, "see you"

See you.

- It seems that he likes you. - Yes, that's what I'm afraid of.

Yes. Yes, but take care of yourself, eh?

Here? Oh, we're getting by.

Yes, I'm going right now. See you soon.

Yes, right now, yes.

Sorry for entering without knocking. Since Angustias isn't here...

Excuse me, I'm in a hurry because...

I have a meeting in the Prime Minister's office.

I came by for the file on Tordesillas.

Well then, it should be here somewhere.

- If you don't mind, you look for it. - Of course.

Is there a problem?

With Susana Torres there's always a problem.

Salvador?

Who goes there?

It's Ernesto.

What happened, is something wrong?

We have an important mission.

They're delicious.

Sister Antonia is our cook.

The sweet you've presented is a mix of tradicion

but it also has personality.

The form...

The form could be improved.

Maybe you overcooked it a bit.

A little.

But the taste is exquisite.

The texture, perfect.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Well, we are going to rest, daughters.

- Tomorrow we'll see you for morning prayers. - Tomorrow?

You mean tonight, at Midnight Mass.

Ah, Midnight Mass, of course.

With all this traveling, I don't even know what day it is.

We'll sing "Adeste fideles"

And it's tradition that the mother abbess sings the solo.

Bank,

identification, medical card,

At the market, supermarket.

- Bank? - Very good.

On the bus and the trains and...

Very good, now you're a man of our time.

Mak sure you don't lose them, especially this one.

But, this...

- This is money? - Yes.

I think it will be difficult to get used to everything, eh?

Maybe this will help you.

- Wow. - We're starting off well.

- Wow. Mother of God. - Fine, put it away for later.

Right now we have more important things to do.

Come on... let me see.

Eh...

Too young.

- Let's see. - No.

Let's see...

- Alonso - I said no.

Don't be so shy, man.

Put these pants on, they're thicker.

Yes, that.

I don't know...

I don't know, maybe it's your hair that throws it off.

I'd let you cut off my hand before you touch one strand.

God save us all.

Wait. "Allez, allez."

"Bonjour", marshal.

- "Où allez-vous?". - "Je vais visiter les prisoneres".

Oh, you don't trust our "hospitalité"?

There's no one more gentlemanly than a Frenchman.

Those men will be fine, I assure you. They don't lack for food or water.

Man does not live by bread alone, but also by the love of God.

- And I am his representative. - Oh, "l'amour"

"Lamour est tojours" the most important.

I'm happy you understand.

I understand some things since childhood.

And you?

I...

understand some things,

but just enough.

- And now, if you'll excuse me... - Oh, of course "mon ami".

"Au revior."

They're going to find us out, and it's my fault.

I'm just not cut out for this.

- Angustias, they don't suspect anything. - They will when I sing.

But I don't know the words not even to "Adeste 'fiddle'"

- "Adeste fideles." - You see?

Gosh, if it were a chorus, I could move my lips, like on tv.

- but a solo... - Don't you worry.

I looked in the library and here you have it.

But the words are the least of my problems.

- You've never heard me sing. - Woman, it can't be that bad.

- Very nice. - No.

Now you look like an agent.

- Hold this. - Agent...

Let's see, let me.

I do not know who invented this damned contraption.

- Hold still, I might choke you. - It's just useless.

- There now, very good. - Oh, oh.

- No, no. Everything is too tight. I don't... - I've never met anyone

as picky as you. I can't waste any more time.

Look.

I have something that I'm sure you'll like.

Mmhm.

Where are you going?

- To take water to the prisioners. - I'll come with you.

Let me help you.

- Thank you. - *Laeti...*

The abbess, she's warming up her voice. Come on.

♪Adeste fideles, laeti...♪

Are they going to excute us, father?

Hope is the last thing that is lost, son.

With the French, hope is exactly what we don't have.

We're going to die. We're going to die.

Would you shut up? Maybe he's right.

Tomorrow has yet to be written.

May I ask you a favor? - Of course.

Tonight there will be a Midnight Mass and I can't officiate.

Don't worry. I'll talk with Marshal Ney

and get him to let you out.

You and I both know that when I leave through that door

they're not exactly going to take me to mass.

- I want you to officiate. - Me?

But I... I haven't brought my things and...

Relax. The sisters will give you everything you need.

It will be... something small for the congregation.

Also, the nuns get so excited to sing...

All right, Father. I live to serve.

- Good afternoon. - Hello.

I see a new nun has arrived.

Yes, that's Sister Amelia.

- Which one is Suárez? - I think it's that one.

- Oh, Rodolfo. - No.

Don't cry.

If I have to die, I will do it with honor.

I can promise you and I promise

that your beautiful face will be the last thing I think of.

We're going to die.

- It's that one. And he likes you, too. - We're going to die.

We're going to die.

We're going to die.

But, how can he like me, if it's the first time he's seen me?

And didn't you tell me he is engaged to Rosa?

Please, he's a guy.

- Men are like that. - Like what?

You haven't been with many men, have you?

- Have you been with any? - What does that have to do with the mission?

You'd better say missions, because now we have two,

save Suárez and keep him with Rosa.

What did I do to make him like me?

The same thing I did that made Marshal Ney like me, nothing.

Marshal Ney likes you?

When it comes to me, Marshal Ney is Marshal Gay.

- He likes men? - Men, I don't know,

- but he sure does like me. - *Natum videte,*

- *regem angelorum.* - Damn. She has...

- a weak voice, but very unpleasant. - *Benite adoremus.*

- *Benite adoremus.* - We should have a show, Abbott and Costello who?

Angustias and I are the newest comedic duo.

She has to sing,

- but I have to lead mass. - *...Dominum.*

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,

and the love of God, and the friendship...

the... fellowship of the Holy Spirit

be... with you all.

And with your spirit.

Doesn't he seem a little nervous, mother?

He's very young.

But he has a divine grace.

To organize the disappearance of an agent...

and later order us to find him?

- I'll talk with him tomorrow. - It would be better if you waited

Tomorrow he'll be busy with the Angustias thing.

- What's going on with Angustias? - Nothing bad.

It's her first mission, but she'll do well.

Salvador sent a secretary on a mission?

We were looking for an agent that fit the profile, and she was a match.

Profile? Working for the Ministry is dangerous

that's why we hire agents, not whoever looks the part.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault, you aren't making the decisions.

But it worries me that you're defending Salvador now.

You know that there are a lot of things that I don't like,

but Salvador has done a lot for this Ministry.

Yes, but his time is up.

It's time for breakfast.

Have I died and gone to heaven?

Or...

is this only a dream?

- No, it's not a dream. - It's porridge. It's delicious.

Rosa made it, an extraordinary woman.

Whoever marries Roda will have gotten a gem.

She's not as beautiful a gem as you.

Come in.

Ugh, what a sad face you have, daughter. What happened?

Marshal Ney is demanding 20,000 in silver for the troops.

- That's a lot, right? - It will ruin us.

What are we going to do, mother?

If we gather up some valuables, we might reach that amount.

The candlesticks, the crystal, and the bowls should be worth something.

We could give them the censer.

The one that Father Carrasco blessed yesterday?

- Yes. - The censer stays where it is.

Oh, what will we have left for the poor?

Know what I say?

We aren't going to give them one cent.

I'm going to speak with them right now. Where is this Marshal?

In the entranceway, but... aren't you afraid, mother?

When they offered me the position of abbess I was afraid.

but I've come this far, and I'm not turning back now.

Because they can take away our homeland, but not our dignity.

That woman has guts.

- You see, I was right. - It doesn't matter now.

It does matter. You have to have street smarts, read the signs.

- What does that mean? - Well, that...

for all the books that you've read,

if you don't know that a red light means stop,

and you go,

then you get run over, and end of story.

- Now you're a philosopher? - I'm not a philosopher.

- but you are green. - I'm what?

You're...

innocent, gullible.

Look, I say it with love.

Come in.

Father, can I speak with you?

Of course, daughter, what do you want?

To confess.

Are you Marshal Ney?

- "Oui, comment alle-vous?" - Me, "tres bien".

Look here, listen up because I'm only going to tell you once.

Hail Mary Most Pure.

Conceived without sin.

What are your sins, child?

I have wished for my fiancé's death.

He asked for my hand, he tricked me...

He made me his.

And now he flirts with Sister Amelia.

- He made you his? - Yes.

And now I'm late.

Uh... Peace, child, this is good.

I do not know what's good about it.

You will have a child.

and it, in it's time, will have another.

And you'll prepetuate the species.

Happily ever after.

Father, hopefully Rodolfo lives through this,

but, whatever happens, I will enter the convent.

How could you become a nun? What will you do with the child?

Put them in an orphanage? Don't even think it, everything will work out.

How could he give up a woman like you?

Rosa, you're bautiful and a wonderful woman.

I absolve you of your sins

in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Aren't you going to give me a penance?

Yes, um...

Three "Hail Mary's" and problem solved.

Thank you very much, Father.

Truely, It's a shame that you're a priest.

You would make a wonderful husband.

Oh.

Sorry.

What's wrong?

The abbess has gone to confront that important French soldier.

- Where is she? - In the entrance to the convent.

I said that we're not going to pay and we're not going to pay.

You all think you're so different with you "liberté"

and your "égalité" and "fraternité" but after everything you're all the same

- tyrants. - If the "empereur" weren't arriving

I would send you to the firing squad with the other prisioners.

This is getting out of hand.

Marshal

"Je suis désolé".

"Parlaré slowly" so that you understand me.

I understand you... as much as you want.

I can assure you that I will personally convince the bishop

to pay what you are asking.

You won't get one cent from us, understand.

Think of it as... a personal favor

for me.

"Parfait"

Just what we need, Nabulino.

"Bonjour".

- I've really put my foot in my mouth, right? - Up to the ankle.

Why did you get involved in that mess?

We only had to save those three people.

I couldn't leave the nuns helpless.

We understand, Angustias, but you're supposed to speak with Napoleon.

Exactly. Now where are we?

The future Prime Minister's ancestor will be killed tomorrow morning.

His future wife doesn't want to see him because he's got the hots for Amelia.

- Yeah? - Yes.

To top it all off, I've had to ask a personal favor from a piece of...

French marshal

who has the hots for me.

- Yeah? - Yes

What a show.

- I'll speak with Napoleon right now. - No, no, no.

No. Ney has forbid you to leave your cell.

Well then, what should we do?

Organize an escape.

- It's the only option we have left. - An escape?

We've got half the French Army outside.

The monestary has underground tunnels.

I've been investigating.

One should always plan for the worst in case the light is red.

Very good.

Very good, fine, let's plan it.

No, we need to call the Ministry.

Have we heard anything from the team?

No, but usually when you say that, they call

like in the movies.

- You see? - Yes.

Yes. Ah, hello, Amelia, one moment.

I'm putting the telephone on speaker so that Ernesto can hear.

We've had a set back.

Napoleon met the abbess a little early

and it didn't go like we expected.

Ok, what happened?

There was a conflict with the nuns.

Ney and Napoleon have confined Angustias to her cell.

So Angustias screwed it up. Do you have a plan?

Organize an escape of the prisoners, it's the only plan left.

- Ok, but that could be dangerous. - Nothing is ever easy.

That's your line.

The monestary has underground tunnels.

- We're going to use them. - I'm proud of you all.

Don't do anything until I send you back up, agreed?

It's time for Alonso to return to work.

Be careful.

We're in trouble, yeah?

I'll go find Alonso.

- Alonso's coming? - Yes.

Our orders are to wait for him.

In the mean time I'll talk with the prisoners.

Woman, cheer up. We'll get out of this.

It's my fault, I'm sorry.

I was supposed to talk with Napoleon and I've failed.

After all the time I spent learning about his life on the Internet...

This outfit is more my style.

The Ministry's contact will meet you upon arrival.

He'll give you a cart with food for the French officers.

You should deliver it to the Monestery.

Once inside, contact your teammates.

Understood. Fine, here we are.

- Here. - Ah, thank you.

Listen to me.

Accompany the prisoners to the extraction point.

Your teammates will stay in the monestery.

- to maintain their alibi. - Very good.

Alonso.

Good luck. - Good luck does not exist.

Only bad luck exists.

- I'll make sure to avoid it. - Go, go.

- Woah. - "Arretez"

- What do you have there? - Food for Napoleon.

Get down.

Let me pass, Napoleon is waiting for this delivery.

Napoleon... "A la merde Napoleón"

This food is ours.

-Don't take all the food

-We'll say that he sold it to some robbers and we couldn't catch them.

So you are going to rob me.

Me?

Well, what can I do?

I'm sorry, boss, I've failed.

I'm sorry, boss.

You see now that it wasn't a good idea for me to come on this mission?

Ugh...

I'm sorry, Salvador, I've messed everything up.

That's it.

Come in.

Can I speak with you?

Sit.

What can I do for you?

You see, mother,

I came to thank you on behalf of the sisters

for what you did for us against the French.

Your arrival here has been a ray of hope.

Thank you for cheering me up, but they're going to take everything anyway.

They're going to execute the prisoners. I've failed.

I have less authority than you,

but I'm older.

Life has taught me one thing.

You only fail

if you don't try.

May I, mother abbess? - Come in.

Ugh, what's wrong, daughter?

It's Napoleon.

He wants you to go see him.

- You know how to get out of here? - Yeah. This one's Suarez.

What can I do for you, child?

I would like to confess to you, Father.

Of course. It is strange that you have Father Victor here

- and you haven't confessed to him. - Are you denying me confession?

Rodolfo, don't get worked up.

Relax.

If he wants to confess to me, I'll take his confession.

- Mother Mary Most Pure - Born Without Sin

What are you sins, child?

I want to kill a man.

Even in these times of war, we shouldn't hate our French enemies.

He's not French, he's Spanish and he's a priest.

Ah, yes?

He's been seen embracing Rosa in the chapel. Will you deny it?

The nuns have been saying it and we hear everything in here.

I'm not going to deny it, but it's not what you think.

- Ah, no? - No.

You take advantage of innocent women.

I'd like to know what God thinks of that.

God, I don't know,

but when it comes to taking advantage of women you know more than I,

- by a long shot. - If you weren't in those robes...

If I weren't wearing robes, what? Rodolfo, you wanted to confess,

but you're going to end up communing with a black eye.

Anyway, I didn't come here to talk nonsense.

I came here to tell you that we're getting you out of here.

Another lie...

It's not a lie, not this or the other thing.

If you'd like, when you're free you and I can have a go.

- Are we really escaping from here? - Yes.

Tell Father Victor that when Sister Amelia gives the signal,

- he should fake a heart attack. - The other guy, he should get ready too.

- Understood? - Thank you, Father.

You are forgiven in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

For an unbeliever you put on a good show.

See you later.

Abbess, Marshal Ney a dit

that vous refuse de contribute á our cause.

Cest true?".

I have no idea what he said.

Tell him that we don't have money to pay him what he's asked.

"Elle dit que..."

I understand.

I know, you spoke Italian as a child.

Italian and Spanish, first cousins.

How do you know that I parlo italiano?

Eh, if you knew that...

As a child you liked mathematics, you had 13 siblings.

Five of them died young, May they rest with God in heaven.

- She's a spy! - Don't be ridiculous.

Lord Napoleon is known all over the world.

No, no, no. "Mi piace molto sapere questo"

What did he say, exactly?

- I don't know, I don't speak Italian. - Well we're doing great.

Relax, I also "parlo" a little Spanish.

I speak Spanish in private.

I want to make a pact "avec vous" with you.

A pact?

"Oui"

I'll forgive you the 20,000 payment.

"Mais..."

In exchange for just one thing.

What's that?

That you accompany me at dinner this Christmas night.

When I was young it was a special day with my family in Córcega.

Do you accept?

I propose another pact.

We'll have dinner tonight

and you'll forgive me the debt

and we'll lunch tomorrow and you'll pardon the three prisoners.

No, no, no, those men are spies.

A spy knows what happens to him when he's caught.

Those men will die "demain", at dawn.

- They let you out of your cell? - As you can see.

He wants to dine with me, like history says.

Will you help me with the onions?

Chop them very fine, very, very small.

We'll have to see what to do, the plan is being carried out.

Good, because I already tried it.

When I mentioned freeing them, he turned into a "obelisco".

Ah, I had to come cook.

Ney has put a guard on the door,

in case I try to poison Napoleon.

You can really tell the you've never chopped an onion in your life.

May I be of help?

We've brought supper.

Thank you.

Happy Christmas, Father.

Happy Christmas, Sister Amelia.

Help!

- Help! - Help!

Help!

Please, call Father Carrasco!

- What's going on here?

Call Father Carrasco.

- Quiet! - You "comprenez"?

- Quiet! - Call the priest!

- "Monsieur". - "Qui?".

Come on, we'll take advantage of the guard change. Let's go!

Come on, come on.

Rosa will guide you through the convent passageways.

No, don't even suggest that.

It's too dangerous, it could cost you your life.

I don't care.

I don't know if my child will have a father,

but he'll be born in a Spain free of the French.

Are you telling me that you're...?

Can we leave the domestics for later?

- Let's find Angustias. - Come on.

Well, now we've stuffed it with the vegetables

- and rubbed it with olive oil. - Mmhm.

Now for the final touch:

rosemary.

- Rosemary? - Ah, it's my secret.

It gives it such flavor and aroma, you'll see, delicious.

Do you cook... "souvent"?

"Souvent" no.

but I can make a souffle that's to die for.

No, no, I meant to say, do you cook often?

Oh, yes, I love to, as often as I can.

Chicken and potatoes, I don't know how many times I've made it.

It was my husband's favorite dish.

Your husband?

Sorry, my fiancé, I mean to say.

One that I had when I was young, before I took my vows.

Ah.

- What happened? - He was unfaithful.

Oh.

I know that, in his own way, he loved me

but I wasn't happy.

I needed a man that made me feel special,

without whom my life would have no meaning.

When I left him, I tried to figure out if it was my fault.

Maybe I did something wrong.

And searching for those answers I heard God's call.

Bastard!

It's his fault you are here.

You were there for him, at his beck and call,

and he betrayed you.

Unexcusable.

Come in.

May I speak with you?

Yes, yes.

Tomorrow we must leave.

Well, that's what happens when you want to rule the world,

it's a 24 hour job.

You never get to experience the most exciting moments in history.

- Nice saying. - It's my grandfather's.

The history books will say that the French army

was the most powerful, but they won't mention...

the loneliness...

of all those nights without company.

Well, it must be difficult, to be away from your family,

especially around this time.

You can't even imagine.

I don't know, I might... have an idea.

I have an idea.

Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Eh... I would like to confess.

- Are you catholic? - Yes. I feel like I am living in sin.

Ok, I'll hear your confession.

- Mother Mary Most Pure - "Conçue sans peché".

What are your "pechés"?

I desire you.

Thank you, I'm flattered, but...

No one knows, but I desire you and many men.

"Moi..."

- "Moi..." - "Toi" are forgiven.

There's nothing to forgive. It's more sinful to kill someone

that to desire... a man or a woman or a...

marshal.

- "Vraiment?". - "Vraiment!".

Who am I to judge?

I forgive you in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Could I give you...

a hug?

Yes, but as "amis".

Yes.

This way.

You can continue on your own. Vallodolid is in that direction.

- Very good, let's go. - Hold on a minute.

I'll come back for you, Rosa.

Please, there's no time to lose.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I fell in love with Josefina at first sight.

She was the most beautiful

woman in the world.

I was still young.

How lovely.

Next spring it will be 12 years since...

- "mariés". - Since you married.

We did it the day before I left for the "guerre, on Italie".

- So no honeymoon or anything then. - No, no, no.

I hardly see her now.

So much "voyage", so much "guerre"...

- I know that she is unfaithful now. - Of course.

A marriage is something you have to tend to daily

and you go from war to war and it can't work like that.

You should stay home more and fight less.

- Your husband... - My fiancé.

- He was my fiancé. - Your fiancé...

was an idiot.

You are... delightful.

Aw, thank you, that's nice.

Ask of me what you want.

What I really, really want?

Napoleon is going to free the prisoners?

Yes, and he's named me empress abbess.

He's donated a chest to the convent with 1,000 gold coins, a fortune.

- How did you do it? - Everyone,

no matter how famous, is the same

We all have memories, sorrow, joy.

And at Christmas, you know, we all get a little drunk.

Oh, I've made it so that history doesn't change.

and this time I'm happy about it.

Would you mind telling me what's wrong?

If I mess up, you glare at me, and now that I've fixed everything...

Angustias, you've done wonderfully.

But we, on the other hand, did change history,

we've freed the prisoners.

If Napoleon finds out that they've escaped before he goes to the convent

they'll be repurcussions for the nuns, the town, everyone.

Oh, my God.

In all the excitement I forgot about the other plan.

We have to get them to come back right away.

What happened?

What?

Fine, fine, I will tell them.

But I need you to do me a favor, if you do not, they will never believe me.

My God, what do you mean return to the convent?

- We just escaped. - You are joking.

We are free now. If we go back they'll kill us.

Napoleon has ordered us freed. He has spared our lives.

Hold on, explain, because I don't understand.

While we were planning our escape

the abbess was negotiating with Napoleon to free us.

- And she was successful. - How do you know

- if you've been with us the whole time? - I asked Father Carrasco

to send us a signal if it happened.

Look.

Look.

That's the signal we agreed on.

- I don't believe it. It could be a trap. - It is not.

Only Father Carrasco and I knew about that trick.

- What should we do? - What do you mean, what should we do?

This is not a democracy. Democracy?

- I don't have time to explain it. - We have to go back and we're going.

Would you rather that they sack the convent, rape the nuns

- and burn Tordesillas. - He's right.

Do what you will I'm going with Alonso.

If he is lying and they execute me tomorrow I'll die with honor

because I'll have saved the life of the woman I love and our child.

Now you're talking. Shall we go back?

We'll go back, come on.

We're going to die.

- We're going to die. - Yes,

- but from the beating I'm going to give you. - Move!

You hit him good, he hasn't woken up yet.

- I had to give him a few more. - He smells of cheap wine.

Yeah, I sprinkled a bit on him so they don't suspect anything.

They'll be suspicious anyway. Mariscal Ney is not easy to fool.

- I'll take care of that. - "C'est pas vrai".

Someone's coming, let's go. Inside, come on.

"Monsieur".

"Monsieur, monsieur, monsieur".

- Marshal! - What's going on here?

Marshal, Marshal.

I don't know, I found him like this. I think he might have drunk a little too much.

Only a little?

- Take him to his room.

- The prisoners. The prisoners have escaped.

- The prisioners are here, idiot.

I see that you take good care of those men.

It is my obligation to give them counsel

especially when they are going to die in a few hours.

No, they're not going to die.

Napoleon has pardoned them.

God bless the Emperor.

Come out, you are free.

"La prochaine fois" you won't be as lucky.

We're not going to die, we're not going to die.

There's one thing I don't understand.

You could have freed them.

I only concern myself with

matters... of the spirit.

With respect to the conversation that we had...

Marshal, that...

is a secret of confession.

Don't worry.

You can be at ease.

Ah... we'll always have Paris.

Marshal,

I think that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

There are a few changes in the account of Tordesillas, nothing important.

Father Victor wrote that, our abbess, it seems,

cooked chicken and potatoes with the Emperor.

- There was a fourth prisioner that was freed. - Perfect, all fixed.

You don't know how happy this makes me.

Although happiness is always fleeting.

I need to speak with you.

Alone.

Please.

Go on.

Although I doubt that the news you bring is any good for me.

From this moment on

you are relieved of your duties as head of this Ministry.

What?

I'll take it by your silence that you have nothing to say.

And now, what?

As payment for services rendered

you're being offered an advisor position at an electric company.

You can choose which one yourself.

Thank you.

- I prefer retirement. - Think about it.

You would only have to go to a few meetings a year.

You don't have to worry about me.

Let me guess who is going to replace me.

Congratulations.

You've finally gotten what you wanted.

Outside there's a driver waiting with an official car.

Thanks.

I'd rather take the train.

Truely, we'll all pray for your aunt to get better.

Mother, we'll miss you.

Thank you, sister.

Sister Flora, you will make a magnificent abbess, I'm sure of it.

I don't want to go without telling you that meeting you and apending time with you

has been an unforgettable experience.

I'm taking away more than I brought, thank you from my heart.

Since you liked them so much I made you some sweets.

There's also cheese and bread.

in case you get hungry on the road.

You're a dear.

- Take care of yourselves and have many children. - We'll do what we can.

Thank you for eveything, Father.

- Sorry about the... - No, no, no.

The important thing is that everything's resolved.

We have to get going.

Father Carrasco is a great man.

Yes he is.

It wasn't that bad, for my first mission.

- Not bad at all, right, boss? - You were excellent, Angustias.

Know what makes me the happiest? I didn't fail the boss.

Salvador has his quirks... but he's a great man.

I'm going to tell you guys something.

It's silly, right? But dressed like this, I feel things.

Truely?

Congratulations on a successful mission.

- What are you doing here? - And you are...?

Susana Torres, the new subsecretary.

I have to inform you that from now on

there are going to be a lot of changes in this Ministry.

Guess where I'm sending you.

Well lady, I think I have a... slight idea.

Irere, are you ok?

They are symptoms of the Spanish flu.

- We won't leave Irene there. - You'll regret that decision.

What do you mean we can't come back?

Do you know how cold it gets in the Stone Age?

All missions have been suspended.

It's now prohibited to leave or enter the building.

Hey, leeches! Let me out of here!

That flu killed 50 million people in one year.

I have never sen so many people die in such a short time.

Mister Diego!

- Angustias, it's too dangerous. - I won't leave them alone.

That guy's hiding something, I know it.

Mister Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez.

After fighting so long,

now I'm going to die without painting "Las meninas".

- So much time has passed. - A lifetime.

Doctor, we have an acute respiratory failure.

That virus could spread around the planet in less than 24 hours

if it fell into the wrong hands.

I'll bring you a suit, see how well you handle it.

You don't have to go to Harvard to put it on.

What should we do?

- Find the virus and destroy it. - We are royally screwed. How?

We're going to die here, man.

What is it about this country that the stupider you are the higher you rise?
