Queen of Swords (2000) s01e03 Episode Script

Fever

1
Here, try and drink.
I'm so cold.
Mama,
I'm going for the doctor.
And we have no money.
Don't worry.
He's a good man.
He'll come.
By the orders of
Colonel Lewis Ramirez,
Montoya, you're required
to do military service.
And loyal, saturated, saturated.
Take him away.
He's just a bang, orders are ready.
So please, my wife is sick with the fever.
Well, so I have my men.
Thank you to be my first choice.
I can't leave my children to starve.
Well, you're breaking my heart here.
Bring him.
Surely you don't mean this monthly growth
peasants?
I did the best of what I have,
sir.
I know the feeling.
There's a look.
Murray Golds.
He's made the hell of the fever.
And a leak?
Police go on then.
Would kind of an animal drag some em from
his sick, wife and hungry children.
Presumably the same kind that allows one
to assault his commander.
They're a soldier!
Come on, I'd like one.
Come on.
Can you read Alvarado?
Colonel, I know that man.
Surely you can be guilty of any kind.
If it's no senator.
This happy few, this band of brothers,
is replenishing the ranks of our army.
Any of those farmers?
The fever has depleted our ranks.
And the queen of swords remains a plague
on us all.
Where once I used to send one man to
collect the taxes, now I must send three.
I sympathize with the pennies.
He hasn't applied that.
She's to blame for unless I'm here.
Adios, why don't you send me right there?
You see us, Colonel.
Don't tell you, sir.
It's all the queen's fault.
Maybe he's got a point.
I don't think so.
The queen gives the peasants hope.
And hope is that the injurious thing to
give this birth.
So what do you expect me to do?
Nothing?
No.
I expect you to accept responsibility for
your actions.
And one to yes, reaction's fine.
Then I'll come back tonight in free and
reggae.
And turn him into the circle?
Then he'll never be able to return home to
his wife and family.
First you tell me to be responsible.
Then you tell me to do nothing.
I'm telling you, if this is a problem,
you can let sword with a sword.
I'm sorry, Captain.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, no.
Come on.
I'll watch you, Colonel.
I'll leave.
I've come to ask her a favor.
You've come to ask a favor of me.
Small personal request.
It's personal.
You pass me that, please.
You are, Captain?
Thank you.
Now I'll get a simple soldier like
myself, possibly have to offer.
I'll die every wealthy Spanish,
don't.
Pass me sure, too, please.
No.
What was that favor?
I'd like you to release and reggae to me.
What do you want with trash like that?
My senior needs workers.
And reggae is as strong as a meal.
Just how bad do you want that favor?
Breathe deeply.
Again?
Where is my medicine?
It's gone.
Don, I'm going to wear.
To the sick, oddly enough.
You treat peasants before you treat your
dangle mander?
You're not dying, Colonel.
It's not today.
I can't even be sure you have the fever
yet.
Don't you dare turn your back on me.
I will make some more medicine.
You can have it as soon as it's ready.
You just remember this.
Your duty is to me.
And to me alone.
Death does not play favorites,
Colonel, and neither do I.
As you rightly say, Dr. That is nobody's
servant.
You, however, are.
God, sir.
Escort the doctor to his office.
I'll be sure he stays there.
You're arresting me.
No.
I'm retaining you as my private physician.
The medicine you make is for me alone,
do you understand?
I don't give a damn who else dies.
What's happened, Tom Brigg?
Don't worry.
He'll be home soon.
See, little brother is talking to the
Capitan.
She'll get medicine from here.
And perhaps he'll spare a pinch for me as
well.
Why is it?
I can never find the shade of you I dream
about.
It's always like that.
Maybe I should buy that.
If everyone is getting sick, maybe I'd be
next.
Impossible.
You've never looked healthier and more
beautiful.
You think the way I look comes easy?
But you know, I worked very hard.
I don't know the women I have in you.
But it's the men who really appreciate
you.
I was talking to Captain Richard.
Yes, so I have it was about my worker
Enrique.
You sure, great deal of concern.
You're a peasant.
It's just that I can afford to lose him
now.
And I know how much the Captain respects
your concerns.
He's very impressive.
Where he bites, no?
Like Hanima.
I don't notice.
That's hard to believe.
I was just asking him a question,
Berra.
Right.
How about your worker?
Do you think you could speak to the
Captain about Enrique?
I'm sorry.
He's too late now.
He used to have to come to me first.
You saw where more read this.
It will make you look less pale.
Colonel Montoya wants you.
I'm working.
It's not a request.
Does the Colonel want me in attendance or
in a coffin?
Thank the Colonel for his invitation.
Would you like to lose your sword as well?
Tell him I'm looking as soon as I can.
Open the window.
It's open.
I'll connect more and burning up.
Yes, sir.
Where is the doctor?
He's crossing the street right now.
Back time.
Do you tell him to hurry?
No.
I'll be dead before my medicine arrived.
She'll be off that queen of swords.
Get after her.
I have to kill my doctor.
She's attacked the doctor.
Stole your medicine.
My medicine.
I'm very early for the queen of swords.
Who says she stole it?
He can be tongue-wish on her.
He's so hard.
She's turned the gates.
They can't actually believe I stole that
medicine.
The children are sick.
Their wives have time.
But they know I'm not a thief.
They have to blame someone.
And they can be dungating you.
Oh, Christian.
Again.
Martha?
What is it?
Nothing?
I stand.
Are you running up?
Oh, you're standing in the sun.
You know, do you have the fever?
I'll be fine.
I'm taking my lunch tonight.
Too bad it wasn't a queen who stole the
medicine.
So how do you feel now?
Did I touch my niece in his throne?
See, I was right.
It is a good man.
Beth, can't be tongue-wish on?
I told him I couldn't let anything happen
to my beautiful family.
But I promise to get back to the barracks
by nightfall.
What will I do without you?
I'll be back before you know it.
You know, what did it deserve just,
don't you?
I've got something I want.
I'll leave, maybe.
When I had a whooping cough, you sat with
me day and night for a month.
I had a choice.
And when I had scarlet fever, you didn't
sleep for three days.
How do you work, Delilio?
How could you remember?
Not if I've taken care of me my whole
life.
That's my job.
And now it's my turn.
So be good.
Stop, Gordon.
I'm headed here.
I'm trying to think.
Chris, I'm told everyone the queen took
the medicine.
Why would he lie?
One Delilio.
Of course.
He blames the queen and gets all the
medicine for himself.
Where are you going?
Call me a thief.
Then a thief I'll be.
Where is it?
Where's the medicine you stole?
Why didn't you steal it?
Who was the queen?
Where is it?
Oh, there.
Seriously, is my wife?
And my daughter made the next.
Any man would have found the same.
Your wife's so head out.
You're dead.
You're dead of the favor, do you
understand?
I understand this favor as we are.
I can't take this.
Please.
Please.
Chris, do you have it?
Are you feeling Colonel?
It's you.
So you've come to gloat me?
I've come for the medicine.
You took it.
No more games.
Do I look well to you?
Am I not a picture of health?
So you don't have it?
Just think I'd be lying here in a pool of
my own sweat if I did.
I'm dying you for.
So who did Chris have seen?
Clean the swords!
Get her!
What are you doing out of bed?
Marta.
Marta?
Marta.
Marta.
Oh, I'm still here.
What are you doing out of bed?
I'm in bed in a chair.
What does it matter?
Marta, I didn't have the medicine.
I know.
How do you know?
Because whoever has the medicine is
already dead.
What's that supposed to mean?
Don't ask me.
Ask the dead.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Senorita Barra?
Here.
What happened?
Andri is there.
I'm so sorry.
How?
Fever.
I saw him just yesterday.
He seemed fine.
It happened quickly.
It was only a day.
Tell you, Senorita, what's the fever?
There's something else.
There's nothing else.
Please let me bury my husband.
There you are.
There's a sound that's made
when a knuckle encounters
ward, that's customarily
used before entering.
Don't know if you've ever heard of it.
It's called Knocking.
Really, Doctor.
I must try it sometime.
She has a medicine coming.
Slowly.
Excuse me.
By all means, I'd love to watch men at
work.
Senorita, I'm extremely busy.
I guess I can see that.
But my servant is ill.
How long before you have more medicine?
A few days.
I'm allowing for interruptions.
Would that be soon enough?
I mean, how long does it take the fever to
kill?
Five days as long as you're healthy to
begin with.
So a healthy man, a woman, could have
become sick and die overnight.
No Senorita, five days, not overnight.
If you die overnight,
then it's probably because
you wasted the time
of a very busy doctor.
Now, good day.
Thank you, Doctor.
You've been most helpful.
Captain?
Captain Grisha?
Hello, Captain Grisha?
Senorita?
I must say, I certainly never expected you
to kill him.
No, that was a bit delayed, and we kissed
funeral, you know.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's sad.
Did I just like that right after I
released him?
Just as you asked.
You know what?
I could swear that we had a bargain.
Please, Captain Grisha, it would be
disrespectful to the dead.
Well, I'm more reason to see his life.
But not in an empty stomach, of course.
What, you're sad and hungry?
Captain Grisha, a lady
likes to be remanced.
Music, wine, dinner, flowers.
Senorita?
I know all about romance.
What was that?
Bad timing.
Be careful with your chemical doctor.
What was that thing in there when it comes
to explosion?
Well, I guess we'll just call an unlucky
accident.
Keep him coming for you!
We're gonna be fast here, aren't we?
We'll get another one.
Ah!
That's cold.
We gotta bring your fever down.
By freezing me to death?
I underestimate it, Grisha.
I'm sure he has the medicine.
Look, don't you see?
How does that make sense?
Well, if the Colonel dies, who's next in
line?
I'm gonna get the medicine.
Grisha, we'll give it to the queen.
If I put a blade to his neck.
The man is many things, but the coward is
not the one of them.
Drink that.
Where is he?
I'm in grassless paradigm.
He owes me a What parts?
I've seen you make it a thousand times.
How much is perven?
Half a teaspoon.
No more.
Or you'll have me sweating like a pig.
Even when you're sick, you're genius.
But for Grisha, I'll need something
stronger.
Until a woman is beautiful from us.
How could I be so lucky?
A warrior and a poet.
And who knows?
One nation, maybe, in a cuddle.
And one doya?
Very young, doesn't look good.
How tragic.
You know, when man's tragedy is another
man's opportunity.
Spoken like a true colonel.
Ambition becomes you.
Mm-hmm.
Mm -hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Do you envision?
Mm -hmm.
It's us.
My quarters.
Let's go.
Tashin's captain.
Good things come to those who wake.
I don't want to wait anymore.
I don't either.
Although, you can learn so much about a
woman by watching her dance.
Don't you agree?
Thank you.
Hey, help you, Captain.
It's a warm afternoon, no?
What do you think about my dress?
I'm the better on the floor.
I wore it to the fiest of the sign you see,
the king himself stopped to talk to me.
Oh, so rude.
Let me get you some more wine.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Are you feeling all right, Captain?
Oh, you're burning up.
I hope you don't have the fever.
Excuse me.
Hold that tight.
It's a fuse, Black.
Very nice.
You all got me held on my dad's back from
this?
I found it in the rubble of my office.
It's proof that the place was deliberately
burned.
I would anyone want to burn down your
office, Doctor.
Just stop me making any more medicine.
You're not dying of fever, Colonel.
Someone is killing you with it.
Who wants you dead?
Many want me dead.
But most are dogs who would not dare turn
in their master.
All it takes is one.
One who is familiar with military
explosives.
Get a return back to your personal
collection, Captain.
You have enough medicine there to treat a
dozen people.
You can be first.
This is the Colonel's private supply.
I think we both know that the Colonel will
never see that powder.
Doctor, are you armed?
Only with information.
The Colonel knows everything, and as his
personal physician, I can assure you that
he will live plenty long enough to see you
hang.
Now, a smart man would cut his losses and
bite his time.
A smart man.
We'll try to get here without a gun.
Oops.
Why don't you just give me the medicine
and we can fall away through this?
Why don't I just pull the trigger and I
live through this?
The Colonel be happy to find you've had
his medicine all along.
I'm not here to find your head.
I'll bury you next to my point.
Here, life?
Or the medicine?
Shoot him!
Shoot?
You want to shoot me?
Is it healer?
Is that a killer?
Not like me.
Oh!
Oh!
Don't you do that?
Just lucky, I guess.
I can't, I'll see.
More friend.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That was a remarkable shot, Doctor.
I sent you my building in the morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your
attention?
To a man who risked his life to make sure
everyone received.
What was that concoction, Doctor?
Uh, salicylic acids from Will or Bark.
To Dr. Helm, whose bark is much better
than his bite.
Music!
Ah, Capitan.
Another hero in our battle against the
epidemic.
There's something I need to explain to
you.
My fever has passed, and my brain is
clear.
I know every integration.
You can't pass by.
Well, you are an animal after all.
But you are my animal, and I hold your
leash.
This was your first and only mistake.
The next time you straight too far,
I will take that leash.
I will struggle with it.
Can you read something?
No, sorry.
It's hard, sweet.
It was actually the wind of salt.
We will cover the medicine for you.
The queen of swords?
Yes.
Is that true?
Yes, it is.
I thought she was a criminal.
Who knows what goes on in her mind?
Come on, Doctor.
What do you think?
I think it's best never to rush to a
diagnosis.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry.
