Codex 632 (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

1
TOMÁS:Luísa?
Luísa, how are you?
Do you remember me?
Tomás de Noronha.
I was your husband's student.
I'm a professor at the college,
We saw each other a few times.
Luísa?
You came to my house and
spoke with my wife, Constança.
Get out of there,
I'm letting the dog out!
Luísa, Tomás de Noronha,
your husband's student.
- Did they send him here?
- Who?
The Foundation.
I came to get something
Luísa has for me.
I don't want to talk to you.
Go away or I'll call the police.
I don't know if the robbery had anything to
do with the investigation, but the fact that
They took the paperwork, not just the
computer, may not be a coincidence.
It's a good thing
Marguerite wasn't with you.
What about the documents? What
are you going to do now without them?
TOMÁS: I haven't even thought about it.
I'll start from the beginning.
It should take me as long
Professor Toscano took.
A lifetime.
TOMÁS:- Come in.
- Am I disturbing you?
No, I was just leaving.
See you later.
What happened?
Nothing.
I was mugged.
But everything's fine,
everything's fine.
Here's something Have you
been working on your thesis?
- I've been trying.
- Good.
I came to ask for help
with interpreting a text.
But when?
When I can.
It could be at my house.
Yes, that's fine.
Let me organize my life
first, that's all.
PHONE
I'm sorry. I have to take this.
Yes ?
Yes, it's me.
I don't usually forget
who's after me, Inspector.
Here it is.
It was found on a park bench.
See if anything's missing.
I don't think so
Nothing's missing.
You have to be more careful
where you leave your things.
Where do I leave my things? I
was robbed inside my building.
- Did you report it?
TOMÁS:- No.
Did you at least see his face?
- It was covered.
- Didn't you think of calling me?
- Call who? You?
- Yes, I did.
- Someone wanted these documents.
- That's possible.
- Why did you abandon them afterwards?
- You didn't find what you were looking for.
Or you did, photocopied
it and was satisfied.
Next time I hope you
won't hide anything from me.
And by the way have
you solved the riddle yet?
No.
It's all still a big
question mark.
- Do you have time?
- Yes.
I'd like you to see
something. Come with me.
The footage the Brazilian
police sent of what happened.
- Right.
FROES: Look.
Can we go back
this image here?
The previous image, can we?
Can you enlarge it?
To see better the guy
who's going after the teacher.
TOMÁS:It looks like there's
a stain
Something on his arm or
hand, it could be a tattoo.
FROES: Maybe.
- There's no definition, I'll have to go through a program. It could take a while.
TOMÁS: This is the symbol of the Military
Order of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre.
It's no longer called
Military, it's called Equestrian.
It appeared at the time of the Crusades.
One of the two orders of knights
recognized by the Holy See.
The professor was killed
by a medieval knight?
- You wouldn't know it from the air.
- No. The order still exists.
In Jerusalem.
Are you moving here?
It's beautiful, but. I
wouldn't have any money.
Do you think it would cost me
how much?
Are you sure?
We've only just met.
That's not what I meant.
I think it's all very recent.
Would you rather I didn't go out?
More or less.
Not least because
What is "we"?
Apart from the Foundation, there must be someone else interested in what the professor has discovered.
- I'm beginning to think so.
Who would be harmed or
benefit from the research?
I have no idea. I don't
think anyone but the truth.
I don't think
that you kill for so little.
We're not talking about industrial espionage,
who gets to Mars first or discovers a vaccine.
The future is important, but so is the past, as
you can see from the statues that are destroyed.
We are a reflection of what our past was, even
if it was built. It's what gives us a sense of belonging.
You're right. That's the
research you've done so far?
Yes, they are official documents.
They date the discovery
of Brazil to April 22, 1500.
But at some point, Pacheco
Pereira writes in a letter
that King Manuel ordered him
to discover the western part
and that this happened in 1498.
NELSON: Two years before Cabral.
That's right.
This is an enigma left
by Professor Toscano.
It's an anagram.
Moloc. It should read
Colom, backwards.
And the other words?
"Ninundia Omastoos,
nomina sunt odiosa."
"Names are inopportune."
It's a quote from Cicero.
Colom's name was inopportune.
The Professor wrote that
the name was inopportune?
We call Christopher Columbus who
discovered America, but
he never used that name.
A letter from the Duke of Medinaceli
to the Cardinal of Mendonza.
Here they speak of Colomo,
they call him Cristóbal Colomo, but
in the same letter, further on,
they call him Cristóbal Guerra.
Yes, but this Guerra
could be someone else.
No, this Guerra is our Columbus.
Then why do we
call him Columbus?
That's the question
by Professor Toscano.
"Nomina sunt odiosa",
names are inconvenient.
I think the Professor discovered
something inconvenient about Columbus.
It's hard to believe.
Columbus only appears in a letter that the navigator wrote
from Lisbon a year before announcing the discovery of America.
According to the Professor's
anagrams Columbus had a secret.
Why did Professor Toscano waste so much
time and money
on Columbus when that
wasn't the research
we commissioned him to do?
I don't know. I'm just
following in his footsteps.
This research has nothing to
do with the discovery of Brazil.
Professor Toscano
has been everywhere.
Italy, Spain, the National
Torre do Tombo.
There must be more material
than what's in our hands.
There's always something to lose,
John.
But in this case we
have much more to gain.
He'll know how to keep his
mouth shut the evidence we need.
Any news on the bones?
It doesn't make sense,
it's not good for anyone.
Daisy sees you sleeping
in the office all night.
Constança, I'm sorry.
Just tell me one thing.
Where do you have the money
to rent an apartment in Lisbon?
When I saw the statement
the situation wasn't good.
It belongs to a friend and
she's loan it to me until I rent it.
Listen. I don't want to
from seeing my daughter.
You won't
from seeing Margarida.
- You can pick her up from school
- I can't pick her up.
- My schedule doesn't allow it.
- You want to see her, don't sacrifice yourself.
I can, but I have to take
her to college with me.
It's the only thing I can do.
Let's see how she reacts.
She reacted much better
than I imagined.
I'm sorry? Have you told her?
Did you talk to her without me?
When are we going to live
together again?
When will we?
WOMAN:"Close your eyes.
"Be aware
of your breathing.
Observe this "vital
and powerful" gesture.
"Breathe in
"Inhale and bring awareness
of your abdominal expansion.
"Feel the fullness of your being"
- Yes?
LUÍSA: "Tomás?"
- Yes, it's me.
- "It's Luísa."
It's just that my husband left some
documents that I'd really like you to read.
And where do you have them?
In your house?
LUÍSA: "No,
they're not in the house.
"But I think I think I
know where they are."
I'm ready.
Luísa, have you ever heard of
the Order of the Holy Sepulchre?
TOMÁS: The Order of the Holy
Sepulchre? Have you heard of it?
No.
Are you sure you're here?
Yes, I'm sure.
Let's get out
before someone sees us.
LUÍSA: They killed Martinho
because he knew too much.
Knew too much about what, Luísa?
Calm down, calm down.
There's someone hiding in there.
Take it easy, Luisa.
- Calm down, calm down.
- They're watching me.
I'm sure, they're the ones who
did that barbarity in my house.
They killed my puppy.
Calm down, Luísa,
there's no one there.
But there's no one here.
Come with me, Luísa.
Stay calm.
Right here.
LUÍSA: After the funeral,
I put it here.
May I?
A few days before he died
Martinho gave me that piece of paper.
Is this the code?
We used to play these
games, but now my
head
is getting worse and worse.
TOMÁS: Are you sure the
code is hidden in this riddle?
Just a moment.
- Well?
- So
- What are you doing?
- I'm working on this.
You're busy. What's that?
I tried several ciphers, but it
didn't use any of the known codes.
Hey, buddy,
this is your specialty.
If you can't decipher
this no one else can.
The idea is to replace
these letters with others.
To do that, I need to
know what cipher he used.
It could have been anything, a
passage from a book, a poem.
Explain it to me that
I understand, please.
So that you understand?
Imagine the word "father".
If you realize that the "p" is a "t", the "a" is an "x" and
the "i" is an "r", dad becomes the encrypted message "txr".
The bad thing is knowing that the "t" is a
"p", the "x" is an "a" and the "r" is an "i".
Right.
What about the numbers?
I don't know.
VICTORIA: Have you tried
military figures?
I've tried.
Then I don't know
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Listen.
"What
"o
"What's the echo
"What echo
"What echo
- "Of"
- "What is the echo of"
"Foucault"
Very good.
"Pending".
"What is the echo of
Foucalt pending at 545".
It's not the key to
but it's a clue.
So, have you got everything sorted?
This must be the last box.
You forgot the doll
Dad gave you.
Stay here to keep you company.
- If you need anything
- I won't need it.
- Bye, princess.
- Bye, Dad.
I was waiting outside
for you to leave.
I thought you'd decided to
to stay asleep in the study.
I was here
My life is a mess.
HELENA: Do you want to get
something?
Or
We could go to my
place for a glass of wine.
TOMÁS:You said your father
is a businessman?
HELENA:He had a cab company,
but he's retired now.
Thank you.
Where is this?
Macao?
Yes, it's where they feel good.
Despite the changes
in recent times.
#
But that's not a subject
to talk about out loud.
What about your brother?
My brother
died last year.
That's why
I wanted to leave China.
I couldn't study
or work.
Or even live.
I'm sorry.
My daughter also has
some health problems.
And I can't imagine
my life without her.
You don't have to.
Here, my love.
CONSTANCE: You know you can't
touch your cell phone at the table.
- Is that the deal?
- It's Dad.
Let's go.
We're late.
Were you able to decipher the code
that the Professor's widow gave you?
No. I've had other things
to do.
College, family. I can't be with
the investigation 24 hours a day.
I won't even ask you
something like that.
The money we're
investing is to get results.
I know, but it's moving forward.
Slowly, but it's moving forward.
Everything is ready
to go to Genoa.
You've already bought your
ticket and I'm still going today?
No. But I'd like to go
there at the weekend.
We have to hurry, Tomás.
Would you like some company?
The Foundation have a place, a jet?
- Yes, you do. Dream about it, yes.
- So we can all go.
Just enjoy it
to clear your head.
I'm going on business!
Hello, hello.
You're going, but there's time, I don't
know, to go to a museum, have dinner.
- I won't have time.
- New friendships
You won't have time for that?
You have time for that now.
You're alone.
You're not alone anymore,
are you? You don't waste time.
- Hurry up!
- Hello, hello!
- What are you saying?
- Sorry, I have to leave early.
I'm sorry, I have to
leave early. How long?
- Fifteen minutes?
- Okay. It's accepted.
You're the girl from Macau, aren't you?
Which girl from Macau?
Her name is Helena.
- I can see everything.
- Listen, Helena is
- What's Helena?
- I don't know what she is.
The only thing that worries
me, as always, is my daughter.
What does your daughter
have to do with the story?
Take advantage of this phase to
distract yourself, to have fun, you need it.
If this comes out
She's a student
Why should I come? I'm
not going to say anything.
- A disciplinary procedure
- Hello, good afternoon.
You won't be prosecuted. I'm not
say anything. Will you say anything?
- I have a class to teach.
- Go ahead.
I'm glad to see you. Professor,
can I just have a minute?
- Sure, sure.
- Yes, yes.
- See you later.
- Pass, pass.
- Dad has to go to Genoa
- He's going for a walk.
Constança, I'm not going
for a walk, I'm going to work.
I made that very clear. I
just asked us to swap
- It was you who arranged it
- Stop it!
You're not changing.
Daughter, I'm sorry.
I promise that next
weekend will be spectacular.
What are you going to do in Genoa?
What am I going to do?
I'm going to look for some documents.
I'm researching the year
Brazil was discovered.
I mean
It looks like I'm researching
who Christopher Columbus was.
Research everything and come back quickly.
That's what I'm going to do.
All done?
Come on, let's go.
I'll get another can.
RAPAZ:- What the fuck?
- Guys! Get away!
TOMÁS:What were you doing at the Padrão
Padrão dos Descobrimentos at that hour?
- I went for a run.
- You went running?
Since when do you run at night?
VITORIA:- Since I put on weight.
- Right.
Why did a group of of
skinheads attack you?
- Isn't it obvious?
- It's not obvious.
Why do I feel like I'm
being interrogated?
Because the story
doesn't make any sense.
You were brought here
by a group from college.
What were they doing?
Going for a run?
From what they told me, they had left a
political meeting and went there to drink beers.
They saw skins guarding the
Monument to the Discoveries.
You know, one of them said
something, it all started with a bang.
Victory, enough! Every time
you speak, the version changes.
I saw what they wrote
on the pattern.
They're fighting
for what they believe in.
It's not them, it's you.
You were with them.
The Monument to the
Discoveries was built in the 1940s
at Salazar's behest
and it was plaster.
- Are you going to give a history lesson?
- What's there is from the 1960s.
I have older older.
You're talking to me.
That's not the point.
How many buildings have come
down to make way for buildings?
- That doesn't make any sense!
- You've never talked about it.
Our past is what
it was. Not just the
Discoveries, I'm talking
about the Estado Novo too.
What we need to do is frame
the past and study it, not erase it.
So, in this case,
studying is rewriting.
What has Portugal given the world
besides the globalization of slavery?
Do you want me to give
you two or three examples?
- Yes.
- I will. Take a look.
New scientific knowledge,
changes in the basis of food, a
globalized economy and society.
globalized economy and society. Enough?
Based on slavery,
the exploitation of raw
materials, the subjugation of the weakest.
I'm not saying it's right or
that it should be praised.
If you want to change
things differently.
What you've done is terrorism.
That's what the political police
said to those fighting for freedom.
- Terrorists.
- It has nothing to do with it.
What have you ever done
in your life?
We spend half our time in
archives, the other half in classrooms.
We write books and
articles that nobody reads.
Nowadays, if you want to be
heard, you have to get noticed.
Is that the problem? Do
we have to get noticed?
- Is that what it's all about?
- We're trying to change things.
You know what I think?
I think we're going
through a mid-life crisis.
Probably.
But you're past middle age.
- That's right.
What's the echo of
Foucault's pending a 545
How did I not think of that?
Martinho Toscano
