La Peste (2018) s01e05 Episode Script
El Hijo
1 - Dad! - Quiet or they'll kill us! - Where's the food? - In the cupboard across the yard.
- Locke them up.
- Do what he says! Don't hurt the girls! Don't worry, she's not gonna die.
Pineapple, a fruit from the Indies.
They use it to heal wounds and clean the blood.
If the Church finds out about this, they'll burn my house with me inside.
- Tastes acid.
- And also sweet.
With half of what I have here, I could treat over 100 diseases.
Instead I have to hide it.
Your girlfriend is weak but she's no longer feverish.
Boils are disappearing, she just needs to rest.
- By the time she wakes up, the plague will be gone.
- How do you know? - Winter is coming, the cold will destroy it.
- Why? The plague is strictly connected to the rats.
Wanna see a magic trick? The cold kills the rats, that's why the plague is disappearing.
It's the wood fungus reacting with water.
Good for the kidneys.
The real plague is ignorance.
That's what's gonna destroy men.
Do you know Alejandro de Dresdner? - He and Germán were in business together.
- What business? I was never interested.
In his office he had a painting signed by your father.
Germán asked me to do it.
I did paintings for some of his friends.
Like who? Thankfully I forgot their names and their faces.
- Protestants? - A good reason to forget.
I need you to try to remember.
It's important.
Germán didn't commit suicide.
He was murdered.
- Who did it? - I don't know I'm not even sure about it.
How can you prove it? There's only one way.
I managed to have him buried in sacred ground.
But it's still a mass grave being a suicide.
- We need more soldiers! - How do we pay them? Everyone left.
Who stayed is now ruined! - I know what to do.
- We can pay them.
- With what? Seats, land, whatever we can't leave the city to those barbarians! I know how to solve the problem! Quiet! Let him speak.
Assistant, I'm very sorry about what happened to you.
I hope your family is alright and that no one else will have to suffer the same.
Something is changing.
I'm talking about the riots.
I don't think it's because of the plague, it's something else.
People revolted because they wanted food.
Then they realized they could also take your houses, your possessions.
Now they want your positions.
They became aware they can turn things around.
They want the very same chair you're sitting on right now.
Your own servant is willing to eat your food, sleep in your bed, step on your name and he won't stop till he does.
None of this will happen as long as I'm in charge.
With all due respect, Assistant you saw first-hand, in your own house, what they make of authority.
They're dying that's the only authority they understand.
And there's more of them than you have soldiers.
- That's why we need reinforcements.
- Try ask.
No one will send soldiers to a plagued city.
- Without gold, this city means nothing.
- How would you stop the riots? Grain.
As much as you want.
Enough to buy ourselves the time we need.
This is Seville.
After you ate, you sleep you don't think.
Let's take a break.
What do you want in exchange? Open the port and let the ships in.
Two days.
The ships leave their cargo and then you close the port for as long as you want.
Too late.
The ships are on their way to Cadiz.
We can turn 'em around.
You say a word and they're all gonna sign.
As long as you're in charge.
They had the plague! I'm not going there! I'll do it.
I want you to find whoever did it.
- Help me with this! - Move those cases! Hurry up! - Get down here! We need another carriage! This is for the wine.
We're going for a walk.
Drink fast, you gotta find me a ship.
You're one day late.
I doubt you'll make it.
I will.
Drink.
Quick.
Mateo.
I'm going with you.
How did you know him? Your father traveled a lot and needed a translator.
We both loved books.
He paid for my first printing, you weren't even born yet.
He commissioned me the Protestants' Bible.
The fourth truth.
Did you know my mother? Did he tell you about her? - And about me? - Neither.
- What was he like? - Just like you.
This is yours, you gotta keep it.
I'm not like him.
I'd never abandon anyone.
I want nothing of his.
We're way behind schedule.
Thank you.
I'm looking for someone who was close to Germán and his friends.
You're my only way to find him.
Water.
Drink up.
- What friends? - Azuaga, from the dye factory.
- Alejandro de Dresdner - and Lucina Utrera, daughter of Captain Utrera.
They were not friends, they were associates.
- Why you look for what's his name? - Ledesma.
Come with me.
- Lavender against the plague! - Water from the pipes of Carmona! "Health flags".
The plague is receding, let's hope it is so.
Teresa told me she and Germán weren't intimate.
- Ma'am thought Larrea wasn't well.
- What you mean? After what happened, the house wasn't the same.
Too many secrets.
- Why did you tell? - I wanted to make amends.
Dresdner.
I used to wait outside.
Sometimes he stayed all night.
- How often did he come here? - There was no schedule, he'd just tell me the day before.
- He never said what they were doing? - I never asked.
What did he need you for? He was very nervous lately, as if he was afraid of something.
I'll wait here.
- What is it? - The altar.
Protestants never believed in images.
If they had one, it was to hide something.
- What does it say? - It's Latin.
"Cross the reflection of the world to find the truth.
" - What are you looking for? - To go across you need a door.
- Why there? - Water is a mirror.
There's gotta be something behind.
Leave it, there's nothing here.
Let's go.
- Are you ok? - Yes.
What happened? - You know him? - No.
I never ordered anyone to follow you.
I trust you.
- And the dead man? - A mercenary.
We sure don't pay with fake money.
What worries me is that someone's looking after you and we don't know who it is.
This is a confessional I had made.
Confession is an intimate act.
We can't let women fall from God's grace just because a confessor has too long hands.
Forgiveness is a sacred act and clean.
You can go back to God if you want.
He'll forgive you.
You need it.
You can only carry so much pain by yourself.
Any idea who might that be? They're opening the port for the ships back from America.
Other ships will be going out.
I can get you out of the city.
It's your last chance.
- What is it you want? - The truth.
About what? Don't be stupid.
You don't need the truth when you're dead.
Mateo listen to me and leave.
- And keep hiding? - Alive! There's nothing here.
Gold is bound to end.
This town will turn to nothing.
Just history.
And you're gonna leave your throne, your reign of rats and wretches.
And no one will remember you.
Sir, the notary is here.
A painting from Francisco Pacheco and a bronze inkwell made for Tiziano.
A mirror with pearls embedded.
A collection of 63 valuable books.
A spheric astrolabe.
57 pieces of silver, including jewels, a half dozen spoons and a carving knife.
3 jars of water, 7 chandeliers and 7 cups.
The content of my room of wonders.
You look like an Hidalgo.
- You didn't sell it.
- Put it on me.
What do you want? - They'll close the factory.
- Why? - Assistant's orders.
- It's against regulations.
- Tell him to come and close it himself.
- That is not the kindness women need.
Get out of here.
Ma'am they're the authority.
We better follow the orders.
- Authority on what? - All there is.
Back to work! - Don't touch me! - You stay here! - Let me go! - Stay away from me! - Don't touch me! - Out of here! They had a joined society.
They lent money to the Crown to finance the fleet to America.
- You know who Ledesma is? - Everybody heard about Ledesma.
If you're asking whether I know him, the answer is no.
Nobody knows who he is.
It might as well be you.
What about Carmen Gálvez? Your father's friend.
We found her.
She says your father and his friends weren't just associates they were also Protestants.
They used to meet with Ledesma.
I bet you know nothing about it.
If you doubt my father's faith, look how much he gave to the Crown.
Now if you'll excuse me, they're opening the port and I need to make an order.
For the muslims, the whole world is represented in a building.
This was an ancient muslim palace.
What do you see? Look carefully.
What do you see? - The stars.
The sky.
- What else? It's like they're flowers and leaves.
It's the Earth.
- The reflection.
- The sea.
The door is not in the altar.
It's here.
What's with his eyes? He's blind, they use him to move in the dark.
He doesn't need to see.
- What are you doing? - I'm going where he takes me.
Someone's there.
- An ossuary.
- What is it? It's to pray for the dead, so they won't fall in limbo.
- Some are very small.
- Children.
They heard us coming.
Mateo, there's a hatch here.
Valerio! Here is where your friend disappeared.
It's him Pedro Lanzas is Ledesma.
- Let's go find him.
- Not outside.
He's still down here.
There's only our footprints.
Wait.
It's a maze, we can't find him by ourselves.
It's full of tunnels, stay together! - Bring the dogs! - He went through here.
- He's here! - They found him! He's getting away! Stop! In the name of the Sacred Inquisition! He's dead.
Take him away.
Mateo.
I thought I could save her.
I'm cold.
I'm so cold.
I'm cold Come on.
Keep your word.
I can't take anymore of this place.
You left me in the dark.
You made my chains heavier, my path crooked.
You shredded me.
You made my flesh older.
You filled me with bitterness, covered me in ashes and pushed me away from beside you.
Why you forget about us and desert us for so long? Take us back to you.
Renew our days give us a new beginning.
- Locke them up.
