THE PLAGUE

Late sixteenth century

I'm Monardes.

Take off his clothes.

Stay here, don't get any closer.

Don't bother.

Bury him outside the slums.

And burn everything inside.

Did you see it?

I'll present my report to the Council this evening.

Not a word of this to anyone.

No one.

You have to give me a month.

I can't. We have to close the city right away.

Three weeks.

An infected handkerchief could kill half the city in less time.

It's a promise to pay.

It's blank.

You only have to tell me an amount.

It's the plague.

But you can't make it public yet.

I can keep it from spreading.

How?

With soldiers to keep people from leaving.

An armed man every 200 meters.

And who will feed them?

Orphans.

Children from the street.

- How much time? - Not long.

Until the ships return from the New World.

Remember that I'm risking everything for you.

If the plague gets out, I'll be responsible.

It won't.

THE WORD

Without the children, this city's economy would be unsustainable.

What's so funny?

The way you talk.

How do I talk?

Move the candle closer so I can see you.

I don't know, weird.

- It's not me talking. - No?

Who?

Plato.

I don't know him.

A dead man.

He died over 15 centuries ago.

Dead men don't speak.

Even worse. Some can carve their words into our memory.

I have a very bad memory.

But you have the purest and most powerful weapon of all.

Which?

Beauty.

Capable of surviving even your own ignorance.

Lie on the bed and turn around.

Mateo.

What's wrong?

There's a man downstairs who wants to see you.

Who?

I don't know. He said it's important.

Who did he ask for?

Mateo Nuñez.

- Is he alone? - Yes.

Saddle up my horse

and leave the back door open.

You can put away the dagger, I'm unarmed.

What do you want?

Your friend German sent me.

I'm his executor.

I'm here to fulfill his dying wish.

German who?

Larrea.

You have a debt with him and I'm here to collect.

I have no money.

Money isn't the question.

When did he die?

He died.

You gave him your word that you would do anything he asked.

You have to go back to Seville and get his son out of the city.

German had no children.

Bastards are children too.

One. Fifteen years old.

His name is Valerio Huertas.

They say his skin is as white as lard.

Where in Seville?

Does anyone else know where I am?

No.

Enzo. Wake up.

Have we arrived?

They say there's so much gold

that you could build a bridge.

A long bridge from here to the New World.

Made only of gold bars.

Seville, the gate to America.

The most beautiful city in the world.

More than Rome?

And more than Paris.

Rome is an old city.

Seville is the New Rome.

What are you going to do with them?

The relics.

Sell them. Why?

It's the third city in Europe I've seen

someone selling the head of John the Baptist.

The last two weeks ago in Toledo.

This one is authentic.

Can you prove it?

It's a serious crime.

You could be reported.

What do you want, money?

I don't have money.

We're coming from Genoa.

The trip was long and expensive.

I don't want money.

Faster, Filipo, let's go!

Move it!

Faster, come on!

This, Enzino, is Seville's cathedral.

Is it bigger than Rome's?

Goodbye.

Good luck.

Goodbye.

Montaigne!

Stained glass. I see you're doing well.

In Seville we don't do things halfway.

- You're older. - A lot can happen in five years.

Nothing good, by the looks of it.

Why didn't you use the door?

Because I'd be seen.

What are you doing here, Mateo?

If they see you, they'll kill you.

I need you to let me stay a couple of days. I have nowhere to hide.

He drowned.

He fell off a boat during a storm.

Some fishermen tried to help him, but it was too late.

You don't want any more?

What was German doing on a boat?

I don't know.

We didn't see each other much after you left.

He was always traveling. The silk business.

And her?

I gave her my condolences

and I haven't seen her since. Nobility.

We have different customs.

You didn't go to the burial?

Nobody told me.

Take one.

They're for your teeth. They dye them with wine for the flavor.

I have them brought from Moscow.

What are you doing, Luis?

How did you get so rich so fast?

Seville is the city of opportunities.

You only have to know how to exploit them.

They brought him to the orphanage when he was six.

A dead man speaks more than he does.

You had to rip words out of him.

He was like an animal.

He could smell disaster before it happened.

Why are you looking for him?

He stole from you, right?

- Do you know where he might be? - If he's alive,

in prison, where they all end up.

Ask for Molina.

Another swindler.

They were together the last time I saw him.

Five maravedis.

Ten. It's black. It's more expensive.

Seven. It's worn out.

Eight.

It's big. They're harder to find.

Eight.

It's the clothing the king likes. Easier to sell.

Who says so?

Eight.

Why do you wear your clothes inside out?

Girl, this is ready.

Tell people the soap arrived from Bologna.

People say you dress like that to deceive the evil spirits.

So they'll think you're coming when you're leaving

and vice versa.

That's why death never finds you.

Take those and wash it for tomorrow.

Use less soap, it fades the color.

Anything else besides clothing?

Are you the one looking for Molina?

Come this way.

Come here, come here.

If you're taking him out, it's more money.

First I want to see him.

He's at the copper gate, with the best of them.

You want to play? Here in prison you can get rich on one good night.

If you want to stay the night, I can rent you a bed.

Or one with curtains for a little more.

Alone or with company.

Whatever you want. Whores are cheap here.

I can rent you a weapon.

I have one.

You got lucky. There was an inspection today

and the wine is good. Not vinegar.

I know you.

I don't know who you are.

You really don't know him?

Good. That one has a loose tongue.

That's Molina's spot.

I'll wait for you here.

Are you Molina?

It's him.

That's his son.

His father's outside.

They let him out to work to pay his debt.

But they don't trust him so he has to leave his son as collateral.

The son of a bitch won't let anyone sleep.

Kid, will you shut up?

I'm looking for Valerio Huertas. A friend of his father's.

- Do you know him? - Is that wine?

The Immortal One.

His skin is so fair that death can't see him.

Where is he?

In the street until they arrest him.

He only came to sleep. He was hiding from someone.

But he hasn't come in a while.

And I'm glad.

That kid is no good.

Do you know where I might find him?

Check the luceros.

"The Children of the Light."

Those bastards make a killing off the drunkards.

Come here.

Eat something.

Make way for the Holy Inquisition!

Helenio Gonzalez, you're under arrest!

I can help you leave the other way, but it costs more.

How much?

The handkerchief.

And the belt. And the boots too.

OF THE WONDERS OF THE NEW WORLD

Boy!

Light.

To the meat gate.

Bastards!

Let me go!

What do you want?

I'm looking for Valerio Huertas.

14 years old,

white skin.

I can find you a better one.

- How do you want him? - I don't want another one.

- I'm looking for Valerio. - I know where to find him.

But it's not free.

Nothing is in this city. Not even dying.

How much?

What do you want him for?

That doesn't matter to you.

Why don't you find him?

We're leaving.

Bring him to me and the whole pouch is yours.

Tomorrow at two.

Don't forget it.

Let's go.

I'm sleepy.

It could be San Antonio Fever.

Or distemper.

It wouldn't be the first time in the slums.

No. Buy all the wheat you can.

Here and abroad. Speak to the Arabs, the Genoese,

buy all they've got.

You can store it here.

But don't sell anything until I say. It's too soon.

Like always, we'll split it. And not a word to anyone.

And your part?

I'm paying you with the information.

These are the keys to the storehouse.

And just to be safe, get your family out of the city.

Watch out!

Your husband wanted to export the silk to Norway.

But today we received a rejection from the House of Trade.

We can't have the storehouse full,

so I've made a deal with the Genoese.

At an even better price.

Are you all right, Madam?

That woman.

I want you to find her.

You don't look like your father.

He's a bastard, that's not uncommon.

- What's your name? - Valerio.

I already know that. What else?

Valerio Huertas.

My mother's last name.

- And your father's? - Larrea.

- Take off your shirt. - Why?

Take off your shirt, your pants too.

Take it all off. Let him see what he's buying.

That's enough.

How old are you?

About fourteen, they say.

Tell him.

My mother said my father's name is German.

That he's a rich merchant.

Did you meet him?

I saw him once at the orphanage.

He was with his wife.

What did they look like?

She had red hair.

- And him? - I don't remember.

But he gave me this.

He said I could sell it.

It's all I have from him.

I want you to come with me.

- Where? - To the New World.

I'm saving money so we can go together.

What will we do there?

Test our fortune.

We know there isn't any here.

I don't know.

Think it over.

The used clothes vendor doesn't want me washing clothes anymore.

They've forbidden selling dead people's clothing.

We have to burn it.

Why?

I don't know.

A disease of the Moors, they say.

But I need the money.

Sell the broach.

And you?

Take them.

What are you going to do with him?

Get him out of the city.

And after that?

Get him off the street.

Give him a craft so he can fend for himself.

Where?

Where I won't be found.

Father!

It's Valerio.

Go after him and tell me where he goes.

He went in there.

OF THE WONDERS OF THE NEW WORLD

Hold still.

It's okay.

I'm a friend of your father's.

I have no father.

I'm getting you out of here. I made your father a promise

- and I'm going to keep it. - I don't want to leave.

Not even to the New World?

What is it?

Tomato.

It's a plant from the New World.

You don't eat it?

No. It's poisonous.

Hello, Quintero.

Please, don't send me back to Arquimides. He'll kill me.

Take off your shirt.

- This is yours. - I gave it to him.

On your knees.

This is tin, it's no good.

Coming! Go see who it is.

I'll get your money.

Don't come any closer.

Stop!

The money.

Be careful with that one.

He was bred by the devil.

To eat well, you have to be used to being rich.

Try it.

It's called chocolate.

Despite that color, it's delicious.

If you like it, you'll have time to loathe it.

It's from America.

And it doesn't taste like garlic.

Not very Spanish.

For your passage to the New World.

Talk to the Irishman.

He knows I sent you.

Thank you.

Are you sure you want to leave?

No.

But I'm tired of hiding.

God is everywhere.

He always ends up finding me.

Stop eating, you'll burst.

He asks how many of you.

He and I.

Safe passage.

What did he say?

For that money forget the New World.

He's friends with Zuñiga, but he's not stupid.

He says the whole pouch.

Tell him that's too much.

He says you can swim there.

That's the price if you don't want to go through the House of Trade.

I'll get more wine.

A boat will pick you up near the anchorage.

Before dawn.

One for each. Give them to the captain.

The rest on the boat.

Who were you talking to?

A drunkard.

Tell me the truth.

I was robbing him.

Body of Christ, sanctify me.

Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ, inebriate me.

Water from the Rib of Christ, wash me.

Passion of Christ, strengthen me.

Oh, my good Jesus, hear me.

Inside your wounds, hide me.

Don't let me stray from you.

From the evil enemy, defend me.

And at the hour of my death, call me and send me to you

so that along with your saints I may praise you for all eternity.

Amen.

Here they come.

Are you nervous?

I'm cold.

You should be happy.

And your book?

I don't need it anymore.

He's over here!

Run!

There he is!

Stop!

Mateo Nuñez, you're under arrest by the Holy Inquisition.

Your hands!

Walk, heretic.

Madam, a coin, please.

You, come here.

Raise your arms.

Show me your neck.

You don't want me to show you anything else?

Which part of the city are you going to?

To the Caserio.

What is that?

Clothing.

You can't take anything from the slum inside.

Go throw it away.

Here.

What is this?

Soap.

What do I want soap for?

It's from Bologna, it's expensive. Sell it to a noble.

Smell it.

Give me another one.

Take it, but don't sell it inside.
