Codex 632 (2023) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Tomás, are you sure
what you're saying?
TOMÁS: "They accelerated
towards us."
- "They were going to kill us."
- Buy a plane ticket.
VICTORIA: "Come on the first flight."
- That's what I did.
I changed hotels too.
She knew them.
She knew Savigliano.
I thought we'd only meet
when necessary.
I need you to get the keys to
Tomás de Noronha's house.
TOMÁS: She knew she was
being watched.
She tried to take us somewhere
where we could talk freely.
I find it hard to believe that the
Foundation is behind these murders.
I'm sorry, you find that hard to believe?
Victoria In the last few
weeks two people have died.
I was mugged outside my house,
they took the whole investigation.
Toscano's widow spoke about the Foundation and
she can't be trusted. Aren't there too many coincidences?
Why didn't you say
to the Italian police?
TOMÁS: I didn't want them to
make me to stay in Italy any longer.
That's a lot of questions
that I don't have the answer to.
When I have it, I'll hand
everything over to the Judicial Police.
VITORIA: It's an organization
with international prestige.
They're paying you to do a study, not to
traffic in works of art, from Iraq or Syria.
How many supposedly credible institutions
have been caught in investigations?
I don't see how an investigation into
Brazil, or even Colombo, can affect them.
- I don't see it.
- Victoria, listen carefully.
The remains of what could be Columbus have been
taken from Santo Domingo to Miami to be analyzed.
If the Foundation can prove
that it really is Columbus,
they will demand from the Dominican authorities
all the
gold and offerings made over the centuries.
Millions, billions.
- Does Toscano have anything to do with it?
- I don't know what he has to do with it.
Who could be interested in
getting their hands on the gold?
I don't know. I don't
know what to tell you.
TOMÁS: The clue to opening Toscano's
safe must be here in Umberto Eco.
TOMÁS:I just have to answer
to the question:
"What is the echo of Foucault
pending at 545 ?"
TOMÁS:Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
- Where's your car?
- Over there. What's going on?
There was a guy staring at me on
the plane and now he's in the bar.
I drove around the airport
and met you at the departures.
What's the
coincidence?
VICTORIA: There's no one
behind us.
Go!
TOMÁS:- Get the fuck
out! VICTORIA:- All right!
PHONE RINGS Aren't
you answering the phone?
- It's Helena, I'll call her back.
- Let's go!
You can stay at the house,
if you want.
I don't need to. I don't need to.
With what happened in Genoa,
you should talk to the police.
I'll talk, but first, I need
everything to make sense.
- Otherwise what am I going to say?
- Be careful.
I will. Thank you for everything.
Go on, then.
How did you meet her?
In the library. I went for
a coffee and we chatted.
Are you sure you've never seen her?
Manuella Gissoni No, the
name doesn't mean anything to me.
I did a search and I
saw a photograph, this
one, with Savigliano,
at a Foundation gala.
At these parties, the president
talks with all kinds of people.
There's no shortage of
researchers looking for grants.
Professor Toscano Are we
close to deciphering the riddles?
I haven't discovered the
key yet, but I was reading a
text by Umberto Eco
in which he claims that
Christopher Columbus Christopher
Columbus was a Portuguese Jew.
There are all kinds of
theories and the most
controversial ones are the ones
that attract the most attention.
But Columbus was Genoese.
proven. We have documentation.
It's contradictory, which gives
rise to a number of interpretations.
The discussion
about the nationality of
Christopher Columbus
began in 1892, when the
Spanish saw that the theory
that he was Genoese was flawed.
They put forward the
hypothesis Catalan or Galician.
The Italians were outraged.
Perhaps that's why they started
forging so many documents
and one of your historians
wrote, and I quote, "It
doesn't matter what we discover
discover, "the
essential thing is that he
does not become Spanish".
- We didn't ask you to study
that. TOMÁS: It may have been.
They hired me to finish Toscano's research and
that's what I'm doing. If you want me to stop, just say so.
No, no, no.
We want to know everything.
Even if it turns out,
as seems to be the case,
that we're going to spend money
without
receiving anything relevant about what we'd like to know.
Dad!
- Dad
- So, drawing?
There's nothing else
to do. It's boring here.
Don't tell Mom that
she'll be sad.
Give Dad a kiss.
- How was the trip?
- A few bumps.
What happened?
Nothing special, just
some turbulence, that's all.
- Is the suitcase ready?
- In my office.
Dad will get the suitcase.
See you soon.
She's missing you
miss you a lot.
Try to give him a little
of attention.
It shouldn't be too difficult,
isn't it?
I'll get the things.
I have to hurry,
my car's badly parked.
Another sleepless night.
Just tonight.
Next week you'll be
spending the week with him.
Tomás insists
on shared custody.
The first weekend he
went for a walk in Genoa.
CONSTANCE: I hope he
stays with her for a while.
Not just to work.
Yes.
I have no idea.
I'm also sorry to stay
here talking about Tomás.
Speaking of him.
Margarida's asleep.
I'll be right back.
Dad?
Dad?
MARGARET: Will you pick me up
from school?
I can't today, child. Go your
mother or grandparents, okay?
We'll be together in a few
days, It's our week again.
It's our week again. I
prefer the bedroom here.
I think it's better
Mom doesn't know.
All right, then. It's our
secret. I won't say anything.
It is.
Mom said not to forget
the snack.
The snack is up here, it's
ready here on the counter.
Look at your juice.
MARGARET:Do they work with you?
TOMÁS:No, but I want
to find out who they are.
Because of the project
I'm investigating.
I'm going around.
Good morning!
TOMÁS: Well?
- Well?
Have you spoken to Moliarti?
He said he didn't know
who Manuella was.
And you believed that?
I don't believe anyone anymore.
Shall we have a drink later?
I don't finish school until nine today.
At nine? That's a good
time. I'll wait for you.
Yeah, but I'm going to
the theater with a friend.
And do I know this friend
or is she new?
- She's new.
- Is she new?
- Later, then.
- Yes.
- So go on, see you later.
- See you later.
TOMÁS: The Treaty of Tordesillas
divided the world into
two parts, as you know very well.
That vertical line
determined that all the land on the left
would belong to
the Crown of Spain and on the right to the Kingdom of Portugal.
The most interesting thing about
this treaty was the negotiation.
It was an example of
diplomacy and espionage.
What we saw happen
between the USA and the
Soviet Union in the conquest of space, had
happened centuries before
with Portugal and Spain.
The treaty was signed in 1494, two years after the
arrival of arrival of Christopher Columbus in America.
BRUNO: Never mind. Never mind!
I'm sorry. I've got to go.
TOMÁS:Well, let's get on with it.
Let's go ?
BRUNO:- Pull, pull.
VITORIA: Hello?
- That's good.
- Let's go.
Victoria, turn off the car.
Stop it!
- Thomas?
- Turn off the car.
- Don't leave it! Don't let it go!
- Let go of the key!
- Are you crazy?
- Give me the key!
SIRENE
Hold still!
- The police! Come on!
- Victoria, come in!
VICTORIA: What are you doing here?
doing? - What are you thinking?
- We're being caught because of you!
- Because of me?
- Yes, we are.
VICTORIA: Hurry up!
I can't see them now.
- Do you see them?
- I don't see them.
Maybe we've lost them. That's good.
Go faster. Go in here.
Turn left here.
VICTORIA: Stop here! Stop here!
Stop!
VICTORIA:Come on! Let's go !
- Victoria, come on! Come on!
- Run!
Run! Look at the guys, they're coming!
VICTORIA:Watch out. Watch out, Tomas!
TOMÁS:- Come on! Go, quickly!
VICTORIA:- The guys are coming.
Try to open that door.
Damn it!
- Locked.
- Get up here. Come on!
POLICE 1: Let's split
up, I'm going this way.
POLICE 2:Stop!
POLICE 2:- Stop or I'll shoot!
VICTORIA:- He won't shoot.
VICTORIA:- Come on!
TOMÁS:- Keep going!
POLICE 1:Stop!
POLICE 1:- Stop!
VICTORIA:- That's it! That's it!
VICTORIA:Come on, come on!
POLICE 2:Stop!
Stop or I'll shoot!
Come on! He's not going to shoot.
Come on! Keep going, Tomás.
POLICE 2:- I'm going to shoot!
VICTORIA:- No, you're not.
You could be arrested for this.
The police will link the car
with Bruno or one of the others.
The car was bought for cash.
Tomás, we've already talked about this.
The statues are an affront to
those who for a fairer society.
Father António Vieira?
Have you taken a
good look at that statue?
A priest with a cross in his hand
evangelizing Indians. How beautiful.
Listen. He fought for the
rights of the indigenous peoples.
And at the same time he
collaborated with a slave system.
But the Church always
plays both sides of the board.
It talks a lot about God, but then
wants to get along with the devil.
Father António Vieira
was against slave violence.
You're putting
your career at risk.
I've enjoyed what I do more.
Maybe it's a way
to change my life.
And what life will you have
after you've been arrested?
I don't know, but if
there's anything that makes
sense right now, it's this.
sense right now, it's this.
Yes, Constança?
Speak more slowly,
I can't understand
Margarida what?
How is she?
She's just come in.
The doctor said a lot.
She was there and I
didn't know what to do.
I called the doctor,
I asked for an ambulance,
I didn't know what to do.
She stopped talking, she fainted.
I want my daughter, Tomás.
I want my daughter.
I want my daughter.
DOCTOR: Everything went well
with the surgery.
- You can see her.
- Thank you, Doctor!
Thank you, Doctor.
I brought you a sandwich.
I've brought you a sandwich.
Light reading?
Supposedly a clue,
but I can't interpret it.
"Keter".
It's the first sephirah.
CONSTANCE: What is it?
It's one of the structural elements
of the Jewish Kabbalah.
And it's not 545, it's 5:45.
Following the "sephirah",
the answer is in chapter five,
in subchapter 45.
Listen, it's just a curious text
about Christopher Columbus.
"Analyze his signature
and even discover in it,
"a reference to the pyramids.
"His intention was to rebuild
the temple in Jerusalem,
"since he was Grand Master
of the Templars in exile.
"As he was notoriously
a Portuguese Jew "and
therefore
an expert in Kabbalah, "it was with
talismanic evocations
that he calmed the storms."
The answer is "Portuguese Jew".
TOMÁS:If you're right, just match each letter
of the password to its position in the alphabet.
I was sure it was this one.
Luísa, I'll try
one of the words.
But Is it ?
New-Christian?
Is it New Christian?
New-Christian.
Eighteen, nineteen.
If I can't
figure out the code,
I'll have to find a way to
open it. Can I take the safe?
The safe stays with me.
But it's risky staying
here with you, Luisa.
It's too risky to stay here.
And at my age you think
I have anything to lose?
Martin?
You have to talk to Solomon.
Who knows if he can help.
How long has it been
since you to the synagogue?
Luisa I'm not Martinho.
It's Tomás de Noronha,
your husband's friend.
Well, Martinho is teaching.
I don't know what time he'll be back.
That's all right.
Tell me something. This
Solomon you mentioned, who is he?
SOLOMON: Do you know how to pray?
Very little, I learned something
from my grandmother.
TOMÁS:This prayer was
one of the few from childhood.
Childhood
Childhood marks us
more than we realize.
I believe that more and more.
Childhood and the past.
She came during the
war to a foster family.
She prayed from time to time.
When no one was
watching. It was our secret.
- Solomon.
- Tomás de Noronha.
They told me that you
wanted to talk to me.
What can I do for you?
Columbus' signature.
Here, perhaps better.
Do you have any knowledge
about the Kabbalah, Professor?
Kabbalah, but is
signature is kabbalistic?
The Kabbalah is an instrument
to
decipher His designs, but,
unlike
traditional ciphers, the
Kabbalah refers
to second meanings, to hidden messages
And here, in this case
There's a Templar influence here.
Few people know, but the Order
of the Temple
developed Kabbalistic analyses in Jerusalem
which
were then incorporated into traditional
Jewish
currents. But here, in this case, Columbus would be familiar
with it.
But what about the hidden
message of the signature?
Look at the symbols.
If we interpret this using the
Hebrew
equivalent consonants, we could read here "XMY"
and then, by interpolating
the vowels, read "Shema" here.
"Shema", which is a Jewish prayer.
SOLOMON: But, given
to the
second meanings, we could
also read "shmi", which means
- "My name".
- In Hebrew it reads the other way around.
TOMAS: "Ymach shmi".
"May my name be blotted out."
Of course!
"Colom, nomina sunt odiosa."
For some reason, Columbus
erased his original name.
In fact, if we infer here
a "khaf", "ymach
shmi",
"may my name be erased", if we are to
believe everything we've analyzed
so far,
Christopher Columbus
would almost certainly be
A Marrano.
Marrano in Castilian is pig.
- As in Portugal and Spain.
- A converted Jew.
- Yes
- Converted Jew.
Marrano.
Hello, Diego.
I'm sorry I didn't hear from you.
It was a difficult night in hospital.
CONSTANCE: "I went home
I mean, at Tomás' house.
"I came to pick up some
things that Margarida forgot.
"She forgot her phone too."
DOOR OPENS
DIEGO:"Hello?"
I'm here.
It won't work. I'm going to spend
the night with her in hospital
CONSTANCE: Can you call
later?
A kiss. Bye.
What are you doing here?
I didn't know there was anyone
at home. Tomás didn't tell me.
Has Tomas given you the key?
He was quick.
Nice to meet you, Constança.
- I'm Tomás' wife.
- Helena.
Have you been together for a while?
HELENA: No.
- You must be his student.
- More or less.
I attend a few classes, but
I'm doing my master's degree.
You must be learning a lot.
I think it's best if we don't mention
about this meeting to Tomás.
Don't worry, I won't say anything.
I don't care. He can can
sleep with whoever he wants.
I've already got what I came for.
Make yourself at home, it's your house.
The safe isn't in the house.
That leaves the widow.
Tomás's wife saw me.
GERALDO: Call.
PHONE RINGS
Give me the phone.
It's five minutes to
finish the stress test.
So, what's new?
VITORIA:Did that Manuella know
that you were going to be in Genoa?
I'm asking the same question.
Have you told the Foundation
to leave, to hire someone else?
TOMÁS:No, I'm not going
to do that. I need the money.
But if you need the money,
sell the carpentry shop.
Maybe one day, not now.
I convinced you to accept because you didn't want to, and now you don't want to leave?
- No, you don't.
Would you rather risk
your life than get rid of it?
Houses are just bricks.
I know that. One day, it'll fall
down and they'll do something else.
When it goes down, what's left will remain only
in my memory, which will also be lost one day.
I'm also doing this for Toscano.
As you can see, I have no shortage of
reasons to continue. Enjoy your meal.
Good afternoon, Luisa. How are you?
Who are you?
I was a friend of your husband's.
Don't you remember me?
I came to collect something
at the college's request.
The professor had a safe with
documents from the archive.
A safe?
I don't remember ever seeing
a safe here in this house, ever.
Can I go in and see
if it's inside?
It's so messy
Maybe another day.
Sometimes I forget.
I can't remember things
But if my husband
had a safe,
he must have left
at the college.
- Do you want help with the laundry?
- No, thank you.
Why don't you leave your contact details?
If I think of anything, I'll
be sure to look for you.
I'll help you with the clothes and also
find the safe, I'm sure it's at home. Let's go ?
- What's the code?
- I don't know.
- The code!
- I swear I don't know.
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
- Is Luisa at home?
- Yes, she is.
She just went to bed,
She was feeling tired.
She hasn't been feeling
very well lately.
- Are you family?
- I'm a friend.
- Luisa's or the Professor's?
- Both.
Where are you going?
