THE SLAVE

"AND THE DEVIL WAS SAID TO USE THE BODIES OF BEGGARS

TO SNEAK IN AMONG MEN. DIRTY, FILTHY, SOOTY BEGGARS"

Whore!

- Enough! - I said don't touch me!

- She's said that's enough! - There is your money, you whore!

Enough!

Out of there!

- What happened? - I warned you

that you shouldn't bring a whore into the factory.

They tried to rape me.

You don't rape a whore. You pay her and that's it.

Out.

And don't you ever come back.

And him too.

And that one there.

And that one.

And him too.

And those there.

They try every day.

Out of here. You're fired.

- You can't fire them. - Who says that?

Ma'am.

Reduce their salaries. Or punish them. But you can't fire them.

The guild won't allow it.

You are a woman. You just can't make this decision.

Didn't you hear me?

You don't know what you're doing.

You too.

Go.

Let's go.

See you around.

Anywhere except in this factory.

We have to hire more people. Talk to Eugenia.

The next one.

The next one.

The next one.

"Slave".

S...

- L... - Do you know anyone in the slave market?

E...

- I... - A...

SLA... S, L, A.

A friend of mine from the hospice works there.

B...

V.

- You need a V in this word. - Why?

It's a rule.

Which rule? They sound the same.

S, L, A, B...

E.

Another one. A more difficult one.

Enough for today.

Go to sleep. Tomorrow, we'll go see your devil.

- He's as clever as his father. - Much more.

I've never seen anyone who learns as quickly.

Slaves from Guinea!

A lot of five!

Manaus, Lisbon...

They come from Guinea.

Open your mouth.

Your devil.

The fangs and the bones are good-luck charms. Like yours, but African.

They use them to have the power of animals.

There he is.

Amílcar!

- Where are you going? Why do you run? - I didn't see you.

I have everything!

Do you work here?

Are there any more slaves?

That's all there is.

The queue used to reach the harbor.

But they were the first the plague killed.

Except for the rebels. No one can kill those bastards.

Kid, water!

Hey.

Don't leave.

No.

What's happened to his eye?

He tried to mug me.

I didn't leave, you see.

We're looking for a big slave. With wild-boar fangs in his chin.

He has marks on his back. As if it was the skin of a crocodile.

What is a "crocodile"?

Scars. As if his back had been stabbed up to the neck.

That's Nubla.

No one wanted him.

The bastard is frightening.

Where is he?

A sculptor took him. He was here looking for strong black men all the time.

I don't know what for. He didn't seem queer.

Do you know his name?

Martín del Valle.

Can I go?

Turn around.

A man with a stain of wine on his face.

Is he still there?

What's up?

He's been following us for two days.

- Who is he? - I don't know.

This year we had a bad harvest.

People die waiting for a solution.

We're running out of wheat, Mr. Assistant. The Warehouse is empty.

The price of bread has rocketed. The city is closed, we can't get more supplies.

Unless we find a solution, the looting will soon start.

Mr. Assistant...

People are hungry. And they have nothing to lose.

They are uncontrollable thugs.

Unless we do something, we'll soon be unable to control the riots.

Who are you?

- Luis de Zúñiga. I took up Morata's seat. - Yes, I know that.

Your family. I don't know them.

They are not from here, Mr. Assistant. They are from Valdezufre.

Where?

Valdezufre. A village in Aracena.

I don't know how things work in your village.

But in the city, we have the army to stifle riots.

Thank you for your interest in our safety, but we don't need it.

No one has asked for that.

We must meet up with the Guild of Traders and negotiate a price reduction.

Mateo.

You have to be very strong to move this.

Nubla.

Wine.

Or rather, vinegar.

It has been here for days.

He has disappeared. Like the lover of the guy from the factory.

No, he hasn't.

Pay attention.

What's this?

Lavender. People infected with the plague use it to clean the air.

Look at the straw mattress.

That's blood.

He's dead. He died from the plague.

He could also be ill.

He's probably in hospital.

That's why he has released the birds.

He doesn't know if he'll come back.

Five thousand reales.

Is it correct?

Don't sell more until I tell you.

Wait a bit. The price might rise even more.

And keep some savings.

The plague won't last forever.

I have something for you.

Thirty days. Straight out of its mother's teat. Isn't it nice?

They're making a fire. You only have to choose the wine.

Hey! Come... Come here, hey!

- Food! - What are you waiting for?

Eat!

Fernando...

If one day I take too long to come back from work, go with the monks.

They'll look after you until I come back.

Fernando...

Did you hear me?

This is the noble part of the hospital. Sick people here have some privileges.

In nomine Patri...

They are looting their houses.

It's the only way to protect their valuables.

She's got a high fever.

Here you are, Manuel.

Thank you.

He refused to die in a bed other than his. He can afford it.

Unlike Martín. Martín is an artist.

He's with the terminally ill.

Careful. Carlos is in the courtyard. Go up again, there are more bodies at the end.

- We've been alone all morning. - Take the people away from the door.

Please, let us in. Please...

It's very easy to get out of here, but very hard to get in.

This way.

There's no room for most infected people.

If they don't have a name or money, they'll die outside, right there.

Give him this to release his pain.

There isn't even enough staff to look after them.

I can't go with you beyond this point. It's at the end of the corridor.

You can't miss it.

You'll smell it. And you'll hear it.

Aren't you turning your clothes inside out?

Forget your good-luck charms and cover your mouth with a handkerchief.

They won't save you. The handkerchief will.

You don't have to die to go to hell. There it is.

Illness is hell.

Calm down. He's a doctor.

Where are you going?

We're looking for Martín del Valle. We were told he's here.

The sculptor?

Are you his relatives?

He was my uncle.

He died this morning.

They'll take him downstairs. Stand up.

I suppose you want his stuff.

Except his clothes. His clothes must be burnt.

Martín had a slave. A big black man.

Have you seen him around here?

You have to be half-dead, or crazy, to come here.

Who do I give them to?

To his nephew.

He's in the slaves' brotherhood.

You can't come in, out.

You can't stay here.

You have to go.

- Let me in. - Out.

Let me in.

Don't move!

Shout, and I'll stab you.

You're as much of a whore as the others.

If you continue like that, you'll end up in the same place.

I told you she was a brunette.

Your money.

Lavender!

This is the wrath of God!

Lavender for the plague!

I've got lavender!

Herbs for the plague!

I was waiting for you.

It's the Brothers.

They are preparing the prayers to God for the plague to end.

I'll go call the Foreman.

Are all the Brothers black?

The Brother you're looking for hasn't come for a long time.

Sorry.

Do you know where we could find him?

It's here. It's a slum of free slaves.

- Ask him who paid for his freedom. - He can understand you.

He says it's a white man. He used to work for him.

Who?

He doesn't know.

It's that one. The one on the left.

- He says you shouldn't go into the house. - Why not?

Nubla does black magic.

At night, when everything is quiet, voice can be heard inside.

Whose voices?

He says it's full of souls.

Mateo.

These are mandrakes.

They are witches' favorite roots.

They are said to shout when rooted out,

and to kill anyone who hears them.

That's why they use a dog to pull them out.

They tie the roots to the neck of a dog and call him from afar.

The dog responds and pulls the plant out.

The plant shouts.

The dog dies.

Don't touch them too much. They are poisonous.

Come here.

He impales them with this.

They were made with my printer.

It's Ledesma's slave.

The hair Lucina had in under her nails.

Let's go.

Wait.

I've heard a voice.

- There is no one here, Valerio. Let's go. - Shut up for a moment!

It's coming from everywhere.

It's coming from there.

A basement.

Wait.

What's your name?

Carmen.

Carmen Gálvez? Azuaga's lover?

Take a seat.

Tell the owner to close. Nobody must disturb us.

If the navigation conditions are normal,

and if they left the Canary Islands five days ago...

they must be around here.

So?

Around 150 leagues away.

How long would it take for a boat to reach them?

- From where? - From Seville.

How long would it take before it reached Cádiz?

From Seville, no way. The harbor's closed. No boat is allowed to depart from it.

Imagine the harbor was open.

Can you do that?

How long?

If they don't open the harbor in two days, you can forget about those boats.

We'll meet in two days.

Don't you get lost.

You can come in. Not him.

He's not welcome in this house.

I'll wait outside.

How are you?

Better.

Did you talk to the Bailiff?

They can't do anything.

I can't prove it was Carmona.

Do you want me to fix it?

This whore will only cause you trouble, Teresa.

They have God to help them. And his nuns.

There are other ways to do charity.

Who has said it's charity, Mateo?

Focus on your paintings and forget the factory.

It's no place for a woman.

Where is the woman's place?

Thanks for your visit, but I need to rest now.

I wonder what Germán would have thought of all this.

Germán is dead.

He committed suicide.

No one who commits suicide can lecture anyone else.

About anything at all.

I don't believe you.

Leave me alone, please.

And don't you ever bring that bastard into my house again.

Do you know why he locked you up?

I was a problem for him.

For whom?

Ledesma.

Nubla was his slave. He ordered him to lock me up.

Have you ever seen Ledesma?

His voice.

He came to the black man's house when I was locked up.

- I heard him. - What do you mean you heard him?

I have been in that basement, and it is very difficult to hear anything.

I wasn't always locked up. Sometimes he let me out.

Why were you a problem for Ledesma?

Azuaga told me he was seen one night in his factory. And he knew it.

He had never been seen until then.

- Ever since then, Azuaga was very scared. - Why was he scared?

I don't know. He was very nervous.

Who saw him?

His friends. They used to meet secretly some nights. Never with him.

- What did they meet for? - Which friends? Who used to meet?

Azuaga...

Miss Lucina, the captain's daughter...

- The German guy... - What German guy?

- Alejandro de Dresdner. - He's the treasurer of the mint house.

And the Basque guy, the silk guy. Germán Larrea.

Azuaga was a Protestant, right?

Any other questions?

If you were a problem...

why did Nubla let you live?

You are a man. You should know.

There's something that doesn't make sense.

Why would Ledesma kill other Protestants?

We have to talk to the German man before it's too late.

Carabante will go with you.

The beheaded Saint.

Only one remains to be murdered.

Maybe he is dead already.

My father.

The fourth truth.

Dresdner is dead.

Everything you need is there.

You can't say no.

You're going to be a fantasticAssistant.

Tell them to leave.

I think I can cure her.

I have got no money, but I can get it.

I don't do it for money. I do it for your father.

Dress her.

I wholly surrender to Your divine operations

and I wish to always be obedient to Your holy inspirations.

Holy Spirit, deem me worthy of resembling Mary

according to the model of Your beloved Jesus.

Glory to the Father Creator and to the Redeemer Son.

Glory to the Sanctifying Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?

Leave.

I'm pleased you've come to your senses.

Sit down.

I'm OK, thank you.

I'll be brief.

I only came to say you don't scare me.

Neither you nor any of them.

And I won't change my mind.

So stop wasting your time.

And your money.

I bet you don't have much to spare.

No matter how much you threaten me, I won't surrender.

And I'll hire if needed. Irrespective of whether they're prostitutes or not.

My husband is dead and the factory's mine. And I make the decisions in my factory.

No one else does.

This is yours.

Whenever you say.

Let's go.

Don't worry, they won't bother you anymore.

For the illness, we thank You, Lord.

Our bodies are undeserving of Your glory. They're living sepulchers, obscene shells.

For the illness, we thank You, Lord.

Remember the just...

I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof.

I am not worthy for you to enter under my roof.

But only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

For the illness, we thank You, Lord.

Here you are.

- It's that animals? - Yes.

There you go.

Yours. Take it.

Look at what I found upstairs, a jug and two bowls of cabbage.

Come on.

Hey!

Come on.

- Come on, let's go. - Wait for me!
