Original subtitles

I come in peace, kind sir. I am but a humble traveler

I saw your fire and was drawn to the smell of your cooking

nowadays, people don't help travelers anymore

charity is dead

I knock on doors, but no-one answers

my guts groan like an empty canteen

- you're hungry then? - Hungry...?

My stomach thinks my throat's been cut

my last meal is a distant memory

you want some meat?

- May I have the wineskin? - Here

I was lucky. Doors were opened for me

they gave me bread, meat and fine wine

it was a farm, about fifteen miles that way

a young married couple. She was crippled but very nice

he was a hard-working man

decent people. And good christians

you dress like a knight and yet you're begging

how so?

I am of noble blood, but I gambled and lost it all

land, money, honor

even my horse

this suit and my sword are all I have left

I'm on my way to enlist in cérdoba's army

to fight in calabria

I hope to achieve glory

war is my last chance, and I don't mean to waste it

I'm skilled with weapons and don't lack courage

I was a soldier too

conquered granada, fought in the canaries and fedhala

you're a veteran

but it seems noble service has not invested you with much glory

my luck ran out

I was wounded in the chest

it left me unable to work

I had to take to the road and beg

life is tough indeed

that's quite a tale

but you were no soldier

I know your problem

like most who travel the road...

You don't want to work

I don't like your words

in fact, I don't like you at all

you're just a sorry bum and your every word is a lie

you bastard!

Nobody calls me a liar!

I'm blind, you whoreson! Is this how you repay me?

Not so poor, then

it's gold!

Gambler, you've lost again

you only hold one card now, it says: Hell!

The devil incarnate

It's a beautiful world

I shall enjoy it

Thief! You take advantage of my state to Rob me!

Shut up, you, and keep on shitting

drop that melon, it's mine! You rogue!

I'll kill you, you miserable thieving bastard

chew on this

Christ almighty! The pain!

You broke my skull

I hear running water, is it a spring?

Eating and sleeping are all you're good for...

But my feet are aching, and I need to rest

help me

give me that

We must eat thriftily, son, gluttony is a sin

- a terrible sin - Yes, my lord...

But your share is four times mine

how dare you? You cheeky rascal

I rescued you, gave you clothes, a job, food...

- And this is how you repay me? - Forgive me, master lucio

please, let go! You'll tear my ear off!

Tomas... Tomas...

Is someone here?

Unless it's a rabbit in the bushes...

Nothing here

Tomas, get me more water, that herring was salty as hell

hurry!

What's taking so long?

You lazy rat

you're worthless, Tomas

What's this, you fucking bastard?

You give me piss instead of water, do you want to poison me?

Me, who's been like a father to you

don't, sir, he'll drown

he'll drown

thirsty, eh?

Well, drink your fill

- no! - You would spare him?

Yes - after all his evil acts?

He's a bad man, but I don't wish him dead

very well

may I join you, sir?

He'll kill me when he gets out

- I'll be your new master - Thank you, sir, my name is Tomas

and mine, Leonardo

you'll find, Tomas, that man is the truly evil being of creation

- that's why the devil's work is easy - But there must be good men

there are some

but it would be easier to find a flying mule

think what was done to you. First, your mother leaves...

Even an animal wouldn't do that to its offspring

you're taken in by a relative who feeds you on pigswill

he works you until you faint from exhaustion

- they did give me a hard time - Think about it

one wretched master after another

they beat you and starve you to death

they were bad people, it's true

the rich shit on the poor, suck their blood like leeches

so the poor slit their throats in return

that's humanity

in this world all is ignoble and lowly

everything here has a price... A lady's virtue, a gentleman's honor

but you're not so bad

why didn't you kill that old bastard?

I was just in a good mood

it matters little

his days are numbered anyway

I am certain he will go straight to hell

we'll be taken care of here

a hot supper and a roof to sleep under

some rascal I met on the road told me these were good people

- You're an early bird - There's much work to be done

I must tend to my master's lands. A whole day wouldn't be enough

your wife, Ines, seems a kind and caring woman

I'm a lucky man

she's diligent and honest

she has a slight limp in her right leg

she fell from the dovecote a year ago

by the grace of lord Jesus, she survived

she suffered fevers and delirium, but she healed eventually

it was the lord's miracle gave her that limp

his will be done

inés will fix you breakfast

and if you chop that firewood...

When I return I will give you food and money for the road

god be with you

farewell, brother

and thank you for your charity

you dim-witted peasant

your wife is gagging for it

you shouldn't leave her alone with me

the trumpets of Jericho wouldn't wake him up

I'm off to get breakfast. Maybe I'll have a double helping

Hello, my pretty

good morning

did you sleep well?

I've been sleeping outside

so your stable was a palace

- you want breakfast? - I'd be most grateful

I'm ravenous

what of the boy? He must be hungry

he sleeps like an angel. It seemed cruel to wake him

you'll like this

please start. I baked the bread myself

Then the muslims came, and beat us badly

what kind of god aids the wicked when they outnumber the good?

- You have a good voice - You liked that?

This is what they sing at court these days

I've never been there, but I'd like to

my husband won't take me

he doesn't take me anywhere

you're a beautiful woman

there's passion in your eyes

if I were your husband, I'd never leave you alone

please, stop this talk

last night, I saw your fire, your thirst for love

please, god... I'm a married woman

I must keep my virtue

who needs virtue?

I can pleasure you...

As your husband has not done for years

just think of that

holy mother, keep me from temptation

Anyway, my leg will disgust you

I'll anoint your wound with my lips

Let's... let's go upstairs. Quickly

upstairs... we'll be alone there

Oh, god

such pleasure

I've never felt this before

it's like...

Being possessed by the devil!

Will you return?

I will, precious. I always do

I never work for free and I've served you well

since you are fully satisfied, you must pay me

pay you?

I don't understand

give me your money or I'll gut you

don't hurt me... I'll tell you

come on, hurry up

help me, holy apostles

the apostles weren't on your mind when we were fornicating

open it

quickly!

A poor show, considering who fucked you

have mercy

that's many years of savings

we need it to buy seeds and the sheaf

what will become of us if you take it all?

Down! Down, or I'll cut your throat

dear god - shut it...

Or you'll be pregnant

and give that husband of yours a child

You see, I always brand my cattle

so long, slut

I don't mean to object to your methods...

But weren't you a bit cruel?

She had it coming, the cheating whore

Tomas, my friend, money is a fine thing

one is allowed to do anything to get it

- anything? - Yes, even murder

religion, conscience, laws, that's for losers

for success, sell your soul to the devil

- but what of the punishment? - Punishment, my arse

would you like to dress as a noble, with servants and a fine house?

To lie in your bed with fair damsels?

Of course, but I don't see how

just listen to me and you'll live to be a rich man

tomorrow, we take our first steps

we will earn a few ducats

I don't understand

when we stopped at the inn, and you went to get wine...

I heard two servants talk of a journey...

They will go on tomorrow, to buy some land

it seems their master, Lopez, is the region's richest man

apart from dealing in land he's a usurer and moneylender

what does that have to do with us?

Boy, are you slow

we'll ambush him and take all his gold

I know just the place

but he will be heavily guarded

this won't be a robbery

through Lopez's own greed, we will get the money without a fight

here's the plan

on that road, by some ash trees, there's an old house

the floor has collapsed, leaving a very deep pit

You gave that peddler a good slap, my lord

made a noise like a hollow pumpkin. You may have killed him

I had to

I needed his clothes to disguise myself

I understand, sir, but that poor peddler...

Better for him if he does die

the pit is through that archway. You must guide them to it

- understand? - Yes, my lord

Why did you decide you had to come with me, blanca?

You're just a burden

I know too well your weakness for inns and wenches

I'll always watch you

damn bloody cow, to the devil with you!

Ready now... go!

Sto.. Sto.. Stop here. Sto.. Sto.. Stop...

Wh... what do you want, boy? Why do you stop us?

You see, sir... that man...

He's found this sack full of ducats

he's a little... touched

he gave me the sack, and showed me where he found it

he does sound like an idiot

so, what can I do for you?

He found the ducats in that old house over there

I slipped my hand under some rocks...

And I felt more sacks

but I couldn't get to them

the rocks are too heavy for me to move by myself

s-s-s several sacks, you say?

Yes, sir. And I offer you a deal...

Your men help me move the rocks and we'll split the ducats

Rodrigo! You, roque and famorano...

Go with this lad and help him

won't you join us, sir?

I-I-l wish I could, but my gout... I can't walk

you'll have Rodrigo with you, so no funny business, right?

Come on... What are you waiting for?

- I'm scared - He really is mad, blanca

Leave him, Carlitos! Mad people are dangerous

oh, Juan...

Can't you see this bastard is touching my breasts?

Your breasts?

You mean your udders, you bloody cow

he really must be mad if he enjoys doing that

you idiot! You're an idiot!

And you my beloved wife are god's punishment

Carlitos! Don't come any closer

anything can happen with these mad people

e-e-easy, blanca, easy

and you, Carlitos, stay away. Stay away...

Juan!

I can't believe this!

He mocks and offends me, in your presence

and you do nothing!

Don't make such a fuss about a little piss, woman

he's just a poor fool with jelly for brains

- can't you see that? - Yes...

Can't you see he's to be pitied?

It would be a sin to attack such a one

he plays with your necklace like a small child

can't you see?

A small child, yes, but with a big rod

good heavens, look at the size of it

- did you say something, blanca? - No, don't worry about it

you never cease g-g-g... grumbling

what's up with you today?

Where are the others? What's going on?

Don't worry, sir

I've just come to tell you it'll take a bit longer

the rocks are hard to move

The sham is over, milord! We'll have all your gold

the usurer and his cow wife wear fine clothes and jewels...

While others starve

strip them of everything, ducats, jewels, clothes

scoundrels! Thieves! Villains!

Maybe...

But your greed is the cause of this

a boy and a madman should be easy to trick, right?

You'll end up on the gallows and then straight to hell

I'm already in hell, you cow

it's you and your scarecrow husband...

Who'll end up in old Nick's cauldron!

It'll be night soon and no-one will find us

we'll either freeze to death or be eaten by rats

- why did you choose this road? - It seemed to be the s-s-safest

a wise choice then

by the holy virgin... Why did I marry you?

My mother warned me!

Sh-sh-shut your mouth, you cow. I got the worst deal

I'm a martyr. A martyr!

Shut your mouth

they were so keen to get the gold that they fell right into the pit

they must have broken every bone. How they screamed...

Pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, sloth

how easy it is to condemn a soul. By the devil, how easy

- my lord, is it good Booty? - Tomas, we are almost rich

soon you will live like a lord

I'll buy clothes in the next town. You shan't dress like a pauper

let's knock on this door. We'll spend the night here

what if they won't take us in?

Remember, now we can pay we'll have a roof to sleep under

I'm really tired

I'll tie up the mule

Good evening, madam

forgive us, but the road is long and we are tired

I saw the light and hoped we might find shelter

come in

it's a sad time for us, but we've never refused a traveler

Tomas, look after the mule

don't worry, I'll show the boy to the stables

bring the bags in after you've taken care of the animal

follow me

My husband squandered our fortune

we were the most powerful family around here

we had a coat-of-arms, we had nobility

all that's left is my maid petronila and two old servants

he died in a duel on account of a woman

the creditors bled me dry

all I could save was this house and some land

a sad story, lady urraca, I sympathise

but none of that would matter if I could save my daughter

I've consulted the best physicians

none has given me any hope

she will die soon

why have you told me all this? I'm just a stranger

and you...

A fine lady

I trust you, sir

it's a long since I talked to anyone

can I take a look at your daughter?

- Are you a physician? - No

my healing arts are better

I've been to the spice countries, and learnt their secrets

trust me

let me see your daughter

She's almost as fair as you

what's her name?

Berenguela

tell me...

What would you give for your daughter's salvation?

Everything

absolutely everything, even my own life

then I shall save her

count on it

what do you want in return?

I want you

for one night. There is no other way

I've not been with a man since my husband died

what you ask matters more than my life

you're asking for my honor

That is my price, madam

if my daughter is healed, then you shall have me

get me hot water, and plenty of clean towels

- you have a herbarium? - Yes

take me there

I need some herbs

then I'll remain with her until dawn

I must not be interrupted for any reason

understood?

My child

madam...

Your daughter is cured

- I've honored my part of the deal - As I will honor mine

I'll be waiting for you tonight

I brought you some fruit

- you're young and you must eat - Thanks

many thanks, madam

your master has healed my lady's daughter

is he a sorcerer?

Not at all! He's just a very wise man

he spent some time in the indies. He knows many healing arts

all the best physicians came to see berenguela...

And they all said that the child was beyond hope

then along comes your master and heals her in one night

I don't get it. He saved her...

You should be happy

I fear his help may come at a great price

It looks like it will be a lovely day

I'm leaving, madam

I'll not forget this night. And I'm certain you won't

Beautiful woman

I can't say which is fairer, her body or her soul

a fine garden for my seed to grow in

my lord Leonardo, you are lucky. She is such a kind woman

we'll buy horses and clothes. I've big plans

our look must be fitting

Berenguela

my child

berenguela!

My girl... dear god, no!

Berenguela!

She's dead?

She's dead!

I committed mortal sin for this

for nothing

I knew that traveler was the devil himself

I knew it

you will learn from me that human friendship...

Is just another deception

but, my lord I think of you as a friend as well as a master

yes, but I must also benefit from it, of course

yes, Tomas...

Men murder, steal, cheat, envy, hate, and for what?

To end up with the devil himself

my lord, you paint such a dark picture of the world...

I lose the will to live

on the contrary, we must seek money and pleasure

with those, life becomes a precious gift

a treasure

now, on with our travels

we head for a famous inn, between burgos and aranda

By the devil, this is a fine sword

I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't like weapons

Tomas, the hilt of a sword is like a little bird

grip it too tightly, and you throttle it

that's a rule that every good fencer...

Must learn

I'll sleep outside. I hear the Miller's wife is quite a woman

she's having an affair with a swordsman

the Miller went to aranda for some grain

the lovers have a date, and I need solace

sounds like a dangerous affair

even I have heard of that swordsman

- be careful, my lord Leonardo - Don't worry

and rest assured that tonight I will enjoy that woman's delights

you're leaving me alone, my lord?

Alone?

Tomas, haven't you understood that man is always alone?

No more will you fornicate, braggart

My love... What's taking you so long?

At last you're here

Oh, my nuno...

You're so good, you scoundrel

you like it better in the dark, don't you, my love?

- Yes, yes - Nuno, you sound hoarse

it's very damp outside

yes, of course

- Nuno, you're much bigger - Herbs...

Some herbs I got from a witch

nuno, I can't take it anymore

do it... do it...

Like that...

Maria! Maria! Where are you?

Damn, it's Ramiro

- I thought he was away - Maybe the deal went wrong

mother of god... hide...

Quickly!

Maria! Where are you?

Ramiro, my husband. I was up here, in the hayloft

I come home exhausted and then I go crazy looking for you

- why are you back so soon? - The deal didn't happen

I could have stayed at the inn, but I prefer my own bed

especially with my own fair lady

Ramiro, I'm glad you're back

why are you naked in the hayloft?

- Naked? - Yes, naked!

It was too hot in my bedroom

- you're a strange woman - It's true, I was hot

well, I'm cold to the core

come here, Maria... I need warming up

a boot? A boot!

With spurs

- a boot, you say? - Yes, look, it's a boot

how did it get here?

A man... l smell a man here!

Good evening, cuckold

sweet virgin! That's not nufio

my... my dear sir...

This boot, this fine boot... Is it yours?

Yes, of course it is

yes, it's mine

now give it back, you cuckold

Turn around - pardon?

Come on, turn round

drop your pants - huh?

Do it!

Who are you?

The devil, you whore

the devil incarnate

as for your nuno, you'll find him in the woods, stabbed

berenguela, my child

I don't want to give birth. You must not be born

it's only been two days, yet I can feel you in my womb

your strength...

Is causing me... such pain

We'll stop at burgos then continue on to court

I never thought I'd see the city

I told you, Tomas, with me, the world will be yours

- If no-one comes, we'll die like this - They stripped us of everything

- nothing left - It's a punishment

after what we did to the usurer and his wife

punishment?

By Satan and all his legions, this is just part of the job

Tomas, someone's coming!

Here, brothers! Help us!

Herel here...

Dear brothers, you've saved us

may god reward you

the convent those friars mentioned must be near

the nuns will take us in, and give us hot food and a bed

and maybe more

we beat and stripped those pilgrims

that's quite a sin

Tomas...

You've travelled with me so long, and still you speak of sin?

Come, the convent must be near

we were in Santiago

wonderful seeing so many pilgrims there

and the stately swinging of the botafumeiro censer

both our souls took great comfort...

In walking the holy road in order to reach jubilance

in this house, pilgrims are always welcome

Mother elvira, in a village near compostela...

I exorcised a girl...

Inside whom dwelled beelzebub himself

after a long struggle, he spewed from her mouth...

As a stinking black ball

are you a qualified exorcist, father?

I am and I've solved some difficult cases

- very difficult - Providence sent you, no doubt

praise the lord

praise him

are you having problems?

There's a demon in the convent

three novices show signs of possession

even I am beginning to feel attacked

he constantly tempts me

sister filomena

she's so old, poor thing

in bad health and eats too many beans

from her farts she sounds in excellent shape, mother

Don't worry, I will study the case...

And cast that evil spirit out of the convent

The wicked one strikes at night

touches my breasts and tries to seduce me

I fight with prayer and penitence but he's getting bolder

tell me, mother, what does he look like?

Does he take one form, or several?

L... never open my eyes

I just feel his hands on my body

the case seems complex

it will take a few days, but we will cast out this demon

it will be difficult, for Satan is a cunning adversary

but no demon can defeat me

a fine turnip, thick and long

yes, father. Turnips grow well here

- the secret must be the irrigation - Yes, irrigation is good here

who's he?

He grew up in the convent

he was found abandoned

he was already here when I took over the place

he's a simple soul, and helps us with the hard work

this garden certainly produces good turnips

- I'm sorry, father? - I was thinking about produce

and now, please, I'd like to be alone to meditate

as you wish. The bell will ring when dinner is ready

Who did that?!

Don't move!

What have I done to you? What do you want?

For the next four days, Mr. demon, stay away from the novices

and the abbess, or I'll cut your dick off

and then slit your throat

yes, father, whatever you say. I swear

Tell me, mother superior, is the devil married?

No, of course not

yet he is always depicted wearing great big horns

I don't understand, father

does he have a tail shaped like an arrow?

Maybe he has, but in some other place

not shaped like a harpoon, and more tempting and pleasurable

father, please! The things you say...

Most people, even wise men, claim he has hooves, like a goat...

That he's colored black or red...

- And he smells of sulphur - We all know that, my lord...

Father

As an exorcist, I know him well

you yourself could be the devil

or this man, or that other one

or even you, mother superior

or I, myself

or that old nun who snores and farts like an earthquake

Tonight, master Tomas...

Mother superior will know what a real exorcism feels like

and tomorrow I'll take care of those sweet novices

what if there really is a demon in the convent?

- There's been one for years - What?

That young rascal who works in the garden...

By day

by night, he amuses himself by visiting the cells

nice work - indeed

but you know what?

The flowers he's cultivating will be plucked by another

Mother...

Stand up

do as I say

Take off your clothes

- all of them? - You must

you must be as the lord brought you into the world

Stand like on a cross

- The wicked one tempts you here? - Yes... yes

And also... between my legs

Get thee behind me, Satan! Begone!

I'm the only cock in this Coop, my brother

my head is spinning

By all the devils...

What happened?

Where am I?

My lord Leonardo... you've been fighting death for five days

you a fever... Like you were burning in hell

my poor neck

how it hurts. I can't remember a thing

that gardener fellow hit you so hard...

He nearly broke your back

- then he came looking for me - Rascal... criminal

he had a knife that even goliath would have found big

he came looking for me and took me to you

when I saw you, I feared the worst

forgive me but you were bleeding like a pig

that rat, took me by surprise

he made me carry you, threw us out of the convent

by the way, you're heavy as hell

my back still aches

- where are we”? - In a whorehouse, my lord

the only place that would take us in

from convent to whorehouse...

How strange life is

the madam is called leonor, a fine-looking woman

seems all the important men come here for fun

from all the big towns around, from burgos, aranda...

Even from the court itself

good, master Tomas

that's very good

seems we're back in business

This is dona leonor, the madam

sit down, my boy

I see you're back among the living

I prayed for you

and the saints always listen to me

dear lady, I don't know how to thank you for your kindness

I'll never forget this

I'll clean your wound and change the bandages

I was telling your boy there is work here for both of you

occasionally, some rather rough fellows come here...

And we need a strong man...

To knock some sense into them

Madam... do you have a garden?

No

The fruits we offer do not grow in a garden

no garden, no gardener

good

as soon as I'm well Tomas and I will work for you

with great pleasure

you went with la palentina last night

so what?

I was your first, and I can be very jealous

you woke up the bird, now one nest is not enough

- but my nest is the best - If you're so sure...

Let the bird try others it'll always return

they're fancy people

we'll get a nice pile of ducats

- will they bring guards? - Of course

the roads are dangerous

I certainly know a bit about that, my sweet

come along, get a move on, we have guests coming

we have to get ready

life here is good here, eh, master Tomas?

Relaxing, lots of good food

beautiful women

You've learned the ways of love

- which nest will it be tonight? - I'm tired

tonight I shall sleep - me too

tomorrow those rich men arrive...

Ready for us to empty their pockets

I can already hear their gold jingling

my lord, I'd like to... I don't know...

It doesn't matter

there's something you want to say

go ahead, speak and I'll listen

my life has been short and wretched

I've known nothing but hunger, pillage, death

I don't like the times I'm living in, my lord

the past was no better, nor will the future be

this is not the work of time, but of man...

And man makes the same mistakes and commits the same sins

the future... I have faith in the future

a time when war, injustice and misery will be ended

the future, eh?

Have faith in the future?

You're almost falling asleep

come

Sleep...

And tonight you'll see the future

you'll be surprised how much better the world will be

You slept badly?

I had horrible nightmares

horrible

- you liked the future? - How did you know?

No

My dreams were terrifying

they made no sense at all

the future can't be like that

perhaps you're right, Tomas

my lord Leonardo...

Who are you?

I'm no-one

just a humble traveler

- I knew you'd come, you rogue - Does it bother you?

I'm flattered

come in

let's see if your weapon...

Is up to the job

you'll be amazed

I'm a great swordsman

Having fun, Don ifigo?

Lust and gluttony, together like this...

Brings joy to my heart

it's like ancient Rome and you're the vestals

my mistress leonor loves the ancient times

says they were better than today

obviously your mistress knows a great deal about pleasure

yes, indeed

I'm her best pupil, and her favorite too

What's that young boy called?

Tomas. He's not been here long

he's handsome

a bit rough, but good-looking

very good looking

- aren't I good-looking? - Yes, of course, but...

Dona leonor...?

- I'll pay any price for that boy - The price is high, Don ifigo...

Very high

name it - at least...

- How much? - 100 ducats

done

Your eyes sparkle as if you hear the jingling of gold

Don liigo crespo, that fat, pink man...

The one who looks like a pig?

Yes, he's rich and very greedy...

And when he wants something, he'll pay any price

and our porcine guest wants to hump Tomas

I noticed, my fair procuress. But the lad is my friend

sure, you old rascal

and he'll pay 100 ducats...

For the delights of your young squire's rear

Don lfigo is a whimsical character

no arsehole on earth is worth a hundred ducats

we'd split it fifty for you and fifty for me

- no friendship is worth 100 ducats - Then it's tonight?

Tonight, my sweet trollope, tonight

pigface there must sleep in my bed...

With at least three of his men ready

the lad is wiry, but tough

he'll be hard to hold down

So much work

help at dinner

get the rooms ready

take care of the horses

my bones ache

I'll sleep like a log

let me go!

My lord Leonardo, we are under attack!

Who are you?

Pull his pants down and hold him in position

what are you going to do? Let me go, you fiends!

Come now, don't fight against the sweet practices of love

relax! It'll feel good... It'll feel good, my boy

Here, you old rogue, as agreed...

Fifty for you and fifty for me

100 ducats, not a bad Booty is it my queen of whores?

And all for just one arse

I'm sure when you took us in, you saw Tomas as a good investment

I'm a businesswoman

I can see that

I can see that, even though your face is not too fair...

And you're a bit fat...

You do have beautiful eyes

I can have my whims too, Mr. Leonardo

me too, dona leonor, I love money...

And 100 ducats is more than fifty

you're just a dirty thief!

True, very true

I'll also take the horses of your fine guests

- don't try to wake them - Are you going to kill me?

I should

but you were good in bed, and that saves you

now, drink to my success

come on, keep drinking

and now drink that one

come on

My god... Why did you let it be born?

It's... it's a monster

show it to me

I I want to see it

no, my lady

you shouldn't

that's my son. Don't you understand?

- My son! - It's Satan's son

it's the devil's spawn, and it must die

now, while there's still time

I'm the sinner

it's not his fault

I carried him in my womb

please

swear to me...

That you won't hurt him

but we cannot...

We must not allow it to live

swear to me...

That you won't harm him

that you'll protect him

swear it!

I swear

Burgos 22 I eagues

My dear Tomas...

Soon I'll introduce you to the finest people at court

you'll meet their majesties

you'll have all you desire

you'll be rich and admired...

And when I die, you'll inherit my entire fortune

first of all, I want to find my former master

I want him to remember me well

my men will find him

and if he took the main road, then we'll find him very soon

We meet again, master Leonardo

- you missed me, didn't you? - Indeed

six days I've hunted you

but I would have spent years looking for you

I would have gone down to hell if necessary

may I sit up?

Please do, sir

So boring

I must admit I'm astonished, Tomas

I never thought you'd enjoy taking it up the arse

or that you'd become fat ifiigo's whore

I thought you'd try to get revenge on your porcine rapist

that's how I felt at first

but then I recalled your wise teachings

my arse's honor was taken, so I decided to make the most of it

Remember when you showed me in a dream...

A dreadful, apocalyptic future?

I'd like to know what awaits me at court

I believe you have this ability to see the future

- will you indulge me? - Why, of course, master Tomas

you'll have money, fame, glory. The most beautiful women

indulge in every evil. Cheat, steal, murder

you'll die an old man, in peace, surrounded by your loved ones...

And then you'll go straight to hell!

So, master of thieves, I know my own fate

now, you'll know yours

beat him until every bone is broken

and then, do what you want with him

Angels of hell! Come to my aid!

Get these men off me!

Wretched man. You'll have an unworthy end

Oh lord! How could you give your life for these pigs?

I don't understand

I don't understand!

What are you doing?

Thieves

bastards

sons of bitches!

Swines

Sons of bitches...

Don't be afraid, brother, I come in peace

I smelled your cooking...

And my poor, empty innards led me here

I couldn't help it

charity is waning in the world, my friend

no-one helps the poor

yet, you seem to be doing quite well

nobody gave me anything

I stole all of this

I need company, and someone to talk to

I'll share my food in return

my loneliness is unbearable

let me tell you an old legend, a tale of the devil

I'll happily listen, I like legends

once upon a time the devil was getting bored

so, transformed into a mortal, he visited earth

he accepted the weaknesses of the flesh

he could get sick, or even die

he rarely used his powers, for he thought things would be easy

he started off poor, so he could grow through mischief and evil

what human could beat him? For he was the devil

- I want to hear more, brother - Of course...

I've given you food now you must listen to me

go on, I'll listen gladly

- you're a good lad - Goodness is my only guide

I shall proceed

the devil committed every sin, fornicated, killed, cheated, stole...

And became rich

he had fun. He was happy

he begat a son, and he loved. But then his luck ran out

he was swindled, mocked, robbed and beaten

love stole away his power

he ended in misery

the poor devil found that men were more wicked than he was

what a sad moral

your story is sad indeed, but it needs a happy ending

bastards! You will all end up with me

all of you...

Gold?

Take the gold!

All you want is gold!

Mankind...

I curse you

I curse your evil ways

I shall live inside you, inside your souls...

For all time

down all the centuries
