Queen of Swords (2000) s01e01 Episode Script

1
The rest of the rest.
I could get you.
And lose your best pupil.
My father shipped Doc's tonight and I have
so much to you.
Why not surrender now, send your total
list?
I can see it's your enemy.
Like a man who knows he's losing.
He's here.
He's not going to kill you again.
Look at me, I must stress.
Really, Martha, you might have given me
some warning.
Five years since Dongalvara, I've seen his
daughter and I look terrible.
Remember, not a word about the fencing
lessons.
I'm still not sure you'd approve.
What is it?
They say he died in a fall from my horse.
It's time to go home.
This is the new world.
It's our history.
These hills, your late afternoon,
they turn 100 different shades of gold.
But I was a little girl, Papa would take
me riding here.
We used to race towards the sun trying to
catch it before the sun.
And they'd you?
Next time I leave that you would say.
Next time.
Drive her point.
Can we help you?
You can open your verses quickly.
This isn't really you.
You know this, Ville.
This is my father's manservant.
Intrusted from now.
My family starts.
How can that be?
Much has happened since your father died.
Here.
I cannot take it, not from you,
senator.
From my father.
Senuri Alvarado.
Captain Grisham.
That's your service.
You shot him.
Thanks for necessary, ma'am.
It's lucky for you, we came along and we
did.
I gave this to him.
He was pointing and got into your head,
ma'am.
Fight him back to town.
You didn't have to shoot him down.
Ladies, if you will follow me,
I'll make sure you get home safe.
Okay?
I don't understand.
The field, the house, where are all the
workers?
No money to pay him.
That's impossible.
My father was a wealthy man.
I've been down Alvarado's death.
There wasn't even enough money to pay the
taxes.
But everyone toy is a gracious man.
You don't need the house for a few days.
Lone me, my house.
Please tell him I'm honored.
Tell him yourself.
He's a celebration, Saf.
I'm going to be expecting you.
You could tell him that I would love to
attend.
I don't know.
This is my mother's garden.
Now look at it.
Let's a rot.
These little bushes she planted,
you know?
What?
Let's get here.
And what's over you?
Your feet will eat this all in your life.
I saw her.
It will be beautiful again.
Promise.
Just let me be some water.
Ruby, I don't.
You want to join him?
That man is thirsty.
I have my orders.
Then obey them.
Shoot me.
There's her.
You shoot them.
Drink.
I'll talk to my lawyer.
Thank you.
Bless you.
I'm just going to grab a quick ride.
Okay, of comedy.
So,
you don't want to drive me up here,
please?
Are you hammers.
Like a psychological guy?
Why?
My son's birthday.
I look good.
Thank you.
And may I ask your heart also feel for the
president outside?
You see?
Do not trap yourself about him anyway.
It's not just him, he has a bad money.
You see?
And tomorrow they will have one less mouth
to feel.
Surely Colonel Montoya says you're main
and noble as he is handsome.
It is possible that I might review this
situation as a personal favor.
Might I suggest a new leader that you have
more pressing matters with the income now?
For example, how you plan to pay your
taxes.
I would hate to see you forfeit your
family on.
Beauty like yours belongs here.
How unfortunate.
It appears I am a little late to help your
friend.
It was murder.
There is a different scenario between
execution and murder.
It is called the law.
And here?
I am the law.
It's not your fault.
You saw the look of Montoya's face when
Carlos died?
The man was there like a flower.
It keeps in pleasure.
See what the Spanish court has to say
about that.
What are you talking about?
I'm sending a message back to Spain.
Once they learn what's happening here in
California.
They don't already know.
Spain is still recovering from the wounds
left by Napoleon.
She doesn't get about some primitive
outposts.
And the ones who could help the dawns,
they do nothing.
Growing fat weather people starve.
You expect them to be different?
My father was.
And he died.
What are you saying?
The finest horseman in California falls
from his horse and dies.
People talk.
Especially around sermons with no ears.
People lie.
I think ours is not.
It turned me he died at the hands of
another.
We need to talk.
Good evening, senoré et algo.
Good evening.
There is nothing like an execution to fire
the blood, eh?
Get dressed.
This can take all night.
You told me your men searched on other
rattles.
There is nothing.
I wish I had your confidence.
It is always lovely to see you.
Please.
Give my regards to your most esteemed
husband.
Of course.
You seem to have away with the fairest
sex.
It is a quality that may come in useful.
For many, for you.
Well, you see, even if
Tessa Alvarado could pay her
taxes, there are other
ways to control her land.
Marriage, for example.
Marriage.
You yourself, Capitan.
You're a stranger in a strange land much
like the person you're eating.
You have no money of your own other than
what I pay you.
You have no family.
No social standing.
And I can take care of myself.
And if anyone were to learn why you left
the army in such a terrible hurry, froze.
Murder, bite, bite.
I need I say no.
Son of a bitch.
If Tessa, please.
How are you, Rubio?
If Tessa, you're a face here, Fernando.
She's the reason my father's dead.
Stop it.
I'm sorry, Senorita.
Who can you speak to her so calmly?
Did you care nothing for my father?
Go!
Now.
Forgive him.
He's young.
His father was murdered.
He has a right to be angry.
And so do I.
I don't understand.
Rubio.
What's my father murdered?
Senorita del Barado.
Two men are dead.
Your father, my husband.
Nothing we do can change that.
What do you know?
Nothing.
I know nothing.
Please, Senorita.
Ask me no more.
For the children.
Talk to them, man.
They don't.
They know.
Murder?
Who would say such a thing?
So you would tell me nothing?
Nothing to tell.
Nothing at all.
Even here, though, without going your own
garden, who could possibly overhear us?
You need not be afraid.
I am just partied out.
One of the richest donkeys in North
California.
I fear no one.
I know.
I didn't mean.
I thought you could remember.
You are a woman.
Beautiful, yes.
But only a woman that we thought means.
So, I tell you this for your own good.
Questions, make enemies.
I just want the truth.
The truth is, Maria Teresa.
You should go home.
Find the husband.
Half-baby is.
Take my word for it.
That is nothing like married life.
What is it?
A message from Tappitangrisham.
He wants to see Sanyarita.
Me?
I hope you will remember our conversation.
I guarantee you I will.
I want to be wonderful captain, but you
shouldn't have gone to so much trouble.
It's a beautiful day, and even more
beautiful woman.
Champagne on the soldier's wages.
Who have you been stealing from?
It's good.
You haven't lost your sense of humor?
Yes, I've been concerned for you.
You're too kind.
A woman not alone, no home, no money.
You need protecting.
I quite agree.
I'll get it off.
I thought about marriage.
Oh, many times.
I'd wear long red dress like my mother
wore.
There'd be music and dancing.
And on my wedding night, my husband would
be the happiest man in all of California.
But my heart is too heavy these days to
give it to someone else.
Oh, the taxes.
No, the murder.
The murder?
What, murder?
My father's having to hurt.
Oh, no, I was an accident.
Who said anything different?
People.
People.
My people.
Come forward.
They won't.
They're too afraid.
What?
That they too might suffer a similar
accident.
Now, if you please take me back to town.
Stop me!
We're not boy here.
We tried to buy flour with Claude.
It wasn't stolen.
He's right.
I gave it to him.
See?
Tell the truth.
Well, I think you're a liar.
Just like your father.
No harm done, really.
It was just a misunderstanding.
Excuse us.
Bring me in.
You assaulted the colonel's army and
defaced its uniform in public.
Do you know what that means?
Captain?
A gentleman who would serve such lovely
champagne would also be a gentleman.
Who would show mercy?
All right.
For you, I will not execute him.
Hmm?
50 lashes that don't.
The sakes of cups.
The best leaves on.
Everything's all confused, but
Every time I try and help someone
I miss you so much.
I've never felt so long.
You are never alone.
The king of cups.
So Protect her, Horska.
Look how you've grown, Angelita.
In life, we never share my wine together.
They're absent now.
Stop it.
And I don't know five, Angelita,
from my own salary.
Yes.
Liquid gold.
Why are you doing this to me?
My father's dead.
Unfortunately, through.
At least it watches over his daughter.
Papa.
Who murdered?
Who?
One man held a gun.
But there were many fingers on the tube.
Tell me what should I do?
For yet, there is a hell of an other tube.
Do nothing.
You expect me to stand by while your
murderers go free?
They will not go unpunished.
Look.
That's my advantage, Angel.
She will see just this is done.
Papa?
No, wait.
Never alone.
My little angel.
Papa?
I just had the strangest dream.
Yes, I know.
It's all here.
You're destiny.
The Queen of Swords.
Do you think my father was trying to tell
me something?
They're there.
Don't visit your dreams for nothing.
He said something about a wine kingdom.
It's on the radar.
Really?
Well, at least we'll have something nice
to drink tonight.
Martha, I found it.
What's the matter?
Stop.
What is this place?
Your father must have known.
He had enemies.
He hit everything of value, including the
gold.
Ollie gloves.
My most favorite child.
They said.
Gold.
Yes, he and the same.
Thank you, Papa.
Sword.
It's been my family for generations.
My father was saving it for the sun he
never had.
Good things.
I remember that.
It's you.
But Papa had it painted for me when I was
seven.
Just before I left for my dread.
I had almost forgotten about it.
But at this time, me and kid, my angel.
Look.
That's my baby, Angel.
The queen of swords.
Me?
How should I know?
But you said.
I'll say a lot of things.
What do you see?
That's my baby, Angel.
She will see just this, isn't it?
What is it?
What is it?
My destiny.
I know.
Meet me at the stables.
Someone's going to be punished.
Never killed a woman before.
Your record's safe.
All right, wait.
Close her eye.
Yes, I'm a little more than you expected.
It could be a little less.
It good to me.
My horse!
Who?
Or what is that?
No.
Would she free the prisoner?
I'm disarmed my capitan.
The queen of swords.
She'll be dead by morning.
Good day, gentlemen.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
Though the Dalgo and I were just discussing
the exciting events of last night.
So it's true.
Oh, yes, absolutely.
Surely, you must be joking.
How could one woman possibly outwit our
esteemed military commander?
More colonel?
He must be furious.
On the contrary, he couldn't be happier.
The boy went home to say goodbye to his
mother.
Terrible mistake.
Our clever colonel had men waiting.
And now, Senorita.
I believe you wanted to talk to me.
What is this?
The text is I owe my father's land.
I must confess surprise, Senorita.
Such a large sum of money.
I've been saving for a rainy day.
How fortunate.
There are stormy days ahead, I fear.
Your deeds, Senorita.
Perhaps I could interest you in a front
row seat.
15 minutes to catch.
What does it matter?
My mistress is pitiful like a rose,
but also just as delicate.
The execution, he upsets her.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm so to see if she could lie down
somewhere.
I will take her.
I am not a cruel man.
I am a just man.
I am an honorable man.
And when I see our community being
threatened by crime and by violence,
then I must take action.
What kind of shepherd does not protect his
flock?
Is that before?
Or after you lead them to slaughter?
It's the queen.
Kill us!
She'll know!
Stay here.
Don't go home.
Your mother will come for you.
A mental ride day and night will go house
to house.
The sky of the countryside.
Either I have the queen of swords head.
Or I will have yours.
Sorry.
Turn them.
Captain.
Excuse me.
You seem flashed, my dear.
Side fever.
Excitement.
Yes.
What was all that nice?
The execution has been postponed.
You are so looking forward to it.
There will be an execution scenario.
Not even a queen can escape the
guillotine.
Now if you could get dressed and return my
office to me.
My apologies, Colonel Montoya.
I didn't mean to inconvenience you.
Papa?
What do I do now?
There's so much wrong here, so much
injustice.
I'm only one person, and Montoya's not a
stupid man.
How long will this mess fool him?
I tried to sleep so that I could dream.
You didn't come to me.
You said I'd never be alone.
Yes, sir.
Papa?
Where is she?
I'm staring to be the chabard.
Looking for you.
People are praying for the queen to
return.
Thank you, Papa.
Will you realize where this path could
lead?
For my destiny.
Never at all.
I live the legend.
You will see the chance that this is done.
