El ministerio del tiempo (2015) s01e07 Episode Script
Tiempo de venganza
1
(HEAVY BREATHING)
Don't come any closer.
If you knew all the future has to offer
you, you wouldn't jump.
I don't have a future.
Life is good to some.
Everyone else has to sit by while
they pile shit on us, right?
Stop saying nonsense.
You don't know me.
Your name is Irene Larra Girón.
Your father is a General in the Army.
You work for the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs
you coordinate all
the administrative staff.
You are the first woman
who has risen so high.
They make your life impossible
since you uncovered
that the governor
of Spanish Guinea
was getting rich
backing British businesses.
You shouldn't have done it.
The Minister takes 50%
of the governor's businesses.
How do you know all that?
The same way I know you live an unhappy life
with your husband.
Not just unhappy, empty.
He says you're insane.
And your parents agree with him.
They want a grandchild,
but you're not going to give them one.
These aren't good times
for a woman like you,
trustworthy, independent,
different.
Don't jump, Irene.
If you jump you will make your bosses
and your husband happy,
Don't give them that pleasure.
And why are you doing this for me?
The government doesn't like
to lose talent like yours.
Welcome to the Ministry of Time.
Well, this is nothing.
Come, I have to introduce you
to everyone else.
I've told them
that you are a great recruit.
(Chime of travelling sharpener)
(Chime of travelling sharpener)
(OUTSIDE) (MAN'S VOICE)
The sharpener!
Good Morning.
Irene.
Another nightmare?
Yeah.
Medical exams.
I was two hours late and left
100 questions unanswered.
Well I'm glad I woke you up.
Me too.
But why the obsession with exams?
You passed them
Eight years ago.
Eight years ago.
Well it's about time
to get over it, eh?
Yes.
What's wrong? Are you ok?
It's been a week without any good sleep.
These days
I always have nightmares.
The other day I dreamed
I was walking into surgery,
and the patient I had to operate on was me.
Oof. That's much worse than
the one about exams.
I think that we both
need a vacation.
But soon.
They owe me a few days,
so if you want
we could go to
Paris.
(LAUGHS)
Paris. You read my mind.
What time is it?
You can sleep a bit longer.
No.
I'll get up and we'll have breakfast together, later
we won't see each other all day.
It's just that I'm in a rush.
I'll have a coffee at the Ministry,
don't worry.
Is what you have to do
so important?
I have to go to a funeral outside Madrid.
An old colleague.
He had been retired for a while.
Someone who was important to you?
Yes, very.
And why
have you never told me about him?
I don't know any of your
workmates. You never talk about them.
I guess I'm just going to have to
visit you to meet them.
It's not worth the trouble.
Your hospital is much
more interesting. I promise you.
My job is very boring.
What do you expect
from a Ministry.
(Ministry of Time theme song)
Chapter 7
Time for vengeance
I don't know what you dislike about Felipe V.
Well,
I would have preferred
Carlos de Habsburgo.
What's the difference? In the end they all rule
because they were born in a palace.
I am telling you that, to us Catalonians
they are not all the same.
Let's change the subject,
my head already hurts enough
from this wig.
Hello, Irene.
What's going on with her?
I think I know who can tell us.
You haven't heard?
Armando Leiva's died.
And who is that?
The agent that recruited her.
They were joined at the hip.
So much so that it was even
rumored that they were dating.
Which knowing Irene's preferences
was a lie, obviously.
How can it be that we have
never heard of Leiva?
No one dares to talk about him.
It was terrible.
Leiva was a hero in the war
against the Carlists.
He was in the military?
Yes, he was a Captain.
And Don Salvador's
right hand man.
He was his Chief of Operations.
Isn't that the position
that Ernesto has now?
Yes .
Ernesto took Leiva's place
when everything happened.
Angustias, for the love of God,
get to the point.
If you don't stop asking me questions
I can't get to the point.
Everything started ten years ago,
in 2005.
Leiva's son fell ill with leukemia.
and 19th century medicine
couldn't cure him.
Leiva asked Salvador
to bring his son to the present.
In the Niño Jesús hospital.
they have a great pediatric
oncology department.
It is the last chance I have
to save my son.
-I'm sorry, but I can't
give you permission.
I couldn't even allow that for myself.
You don't need it.
You live in the 21st century.
It's the rules.
Fucking rules.
-You're a soldier, Leiva.
You know better than anyone
that the rules are there for a reason.
We're talking about my son, damn it!
-Does one of our children
have more right to live than the
child of someone who doesn't work here?
Well, we can save all their lives.
We could do that.
-Leiva, do you know what would happen
if we gave modern medicine
to everyone who needed it
in the past?
Yes, we would save many lives.
Yes, and we would have overpopulation.
There wouldn't be enough food for everyone.
They would still die.
Apart from that, it's history.
We can't change it.
-Don't give me that same old line
about changing history.
I've risked my life 1,000 times
so that history wouldn't change.
I've saved many lives,
distinguished and wretched,
and as myself, many of my colleagues.
If the Ministry
isn't helping our families,
something has to change
at the Ministry.
Armando.
(Door shuts)
Salvador.
Don't you think that we could
review his case?
There is nothing I'd like more
in this world,
but if we make an exception for him
everyone will want the same
and where will we draw the line?
(ANGUSTIAS) Salvador wouldn't let
the employees travel
in time for medical reasons.
But Leiva's colleagues
sided with him.
and it turned into a strike.
After a bit, Leiva and his followers
radicalized
and the strike
turned into a revolt.
They organized a secret plan
to take over the Ministry
but someone betrayed them.
And Leiva his people were
locked up and completely disappeared.
We turned the page
and there was peace and later harmony.
Life went on as before.
What a horror.
Hold on, one minute.
There was so much strife
in the Ministry
and no one on the outside found out?
It was December.
In that year the Constitution Day holiday
was six days long, so of course
This country will never change.
And what happened to Leiva's son?
He died. Poor child.
(PRAYING IN LATIN)
I thought you'd come.
(PRIEST CONTINUES PRAYING)
Leiva dedicated his life to the Ministry.
He doesn't deserve this end.
Buried outside his time,
without any family.
Among criminals.
The rules of the Ministry
are strict.
People are strict.
Rules are words on paper.
Leiva went as far as he did
out of desperation.
But before that he did so much for you.
(SALVADOR) To the Ministry
and to the Kingdom of Asturias
And to us.
How delicious.
The best cider I've tasted.
It's from the 8th century,
without coloring or preservatives.
A present from Don Pelayo.
The least he could do. We saved his life.
Yes it is good.
-Long live the reconquest.
This deserves a photograph.
Angustias, if you would be so kind
-At your order.
Come on.
-Let's see how to line up here.
Eh, the blonde in the middle.
-Ah.
Of course.
(ANGUSTIAS) Smile
for the history books.
(Footsteps approaching)
Good evening.
Hello.
You aren't going home?
No. Later.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Is that him?
Yes.
Feel like a drink?
I'm not really up for it,
truthfully.
Thanks.
You told me
that whenever I needed help
I could count on you.
I want you to know that you can
count on me, too.
For anthing.
(Music inside)
Something tells me that I
would have got along with Leiva.
Yes, because you have a
rebellious streak like him.
Is someone waiting for you?
You know there isn't.
But for you there is.
No. Nuria's on call.
The exciting world
of being on-call.
Yeah.
Have you been together long?
Four years.
Ah. I thought less.
Since you are so
Adventurous?
Exactly.
Of course.
Don't get confused,
I might be adventurous,
but I'm not disloyal to my partner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you sleep with
someone from the 19th century,
your partner hasn't been born yet
and you aren't cheating.
Indeed.
That's it, right?
That's it.
How'd it go? Your game, your rules.
Which you don't like at all, I see.
I respect them, but I have others.
You have others
because you've chosen them.
I have mine
because I spent half my life
living by the rules
that everyone else made for me.
I spent my youth married
to man I detested.
My parents forced me to
marry him at the age of 17.
Damn. I'm sorry.
It could have been worse,
they almost sent me to become a nun.
because they found me with a
girlfriend in the bathroom.
It must be hard, not being
accepted as who you are.
You can't even imagine.
That's why, when Leiva
offered to change my life
I swore to myself
that I would never regret
not living it to the fullest.
You're still seeing Maite, right?
What, are you going
to tell Salvador?
No, you know I wouldn't do that.
I'm telling you as a friend.
You shouldn't see her.
You have to leave the past
in the past.
Or you're going to go crazy.
Well,
That's my business.
Ok.
I'm not going to give you
a therapy session
Anyway, today you are the
psychologist and I'm the patient.
Huh.
I think I'm going home,
because if I don't, the temptation
will be too strong.
Hey, they're looking at me.
Right, beautiful?
Yeah. You give me 5 minutes with them
and we'll see who they're smiling at then.
Have a little fun, go on.
A little happiness won't hurt.
Your treat?
My treat.
(WOMEN) He's pretty nice, eh?
Ciao.
She's smiling at you.
He's cute, yeah? Very nice.
(SIGHS) Oh lord.
(WOMAN) (GASPING WITH PLEASURE)
Good morning.
Hi.
So many photos.
You aren't a photographer, are you?
My ex was.
And this girl who's in all of them?
Leave that photo where it was,
please.
Fine, fine.
You're married, aren't you?
No.
It would be best if you left.
Listen, if I've offended you
I want to be alone. Nothing more.
(WHISPERS) I miss you so much.
(REMEMBERING)
"Is someone waiting for you?
You know there isn't, but there is for you.
No, Nuria's on call.
The exciting world
of being on-call"
Bye.
(Door closing)
(Pager)
Never has this machine from hell
rang so much.
It must be urgent.
Come on, Julian must already be upstairs.
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
I missed you.
Come on, seriously.
I'm serious.
I got someone to cover for me
so I could spend the day with you.
How adorable.
There's only one problem.
What?
I have to go to work.
Oh no.
Imagine you're sick,
you could be.
Give me that.
Anyone can get sick,
I mean, nothing's going to happen.
I'm going to be late. Go.
Hello. Good morning. Can you connect me with
Leonor, in administration, please?
Thank you.
You're crazy.
(SHUSHES)
Leonor, It's Julián,
Maite's husband.
How are you? She's lost her
voice. She won't be able to teach class.
Yes, suddenly.
She must have caught a cold, I don't know.
Good, I'll tell her.
Yeah, thank you. Kisses.
Kisses. Ciao.
Get well soon.
They'll arrange a substitute.
I can't believe it.
But what's gotten into you?
Love's gotten into me.
Oh my God, how corny.
You're terrible.
Where is Julián? Have you notified him?
Yes.
Some have called Syphilis the
Spanish disease but they were wrong,
The Spanish disease has always been
tardiness.
If you would like, I could go look for him.
No, no.
That won't be necessary. I'll speak with him
when he shows up.
Right now you have an important mission
to complete.
Has something very serious happened?
This morning the body of
Armando Leiva was stolen.
But that can't be.
We saw how they buried him.
Indeed. Now we have to figure out
who did it and for what reason.
Alonso, accompany Ernesto,
you'll go to the scene of the crime
and collect possible evidence.
Interview anyone you need to.
You locate Julián, immediately.
Go to his house and see if he's there.
And if he isn't?
Get in somehow.
Don't worry.
I'll leave you my magic keys.
They open everything.
And me, what should I do?
You stay. Everyone else go do
what you have to do.
Tell me one thing.
When you went to the 11th century castle
to interrogate Walcott
Did you go see Leiva?
Until the case has been solved
you are off the mission.
I just wanted to know
how he was doing.
I took him some medicine.
He was very sick.
You must believe me.
What I believe or don't believe
doesn't matter.
Those are the rules of the Ministry.
You can leave now.
You were testing me.
When you ordered me
to interrogate the American.
you wanted to know if I was
capable of not seeing Leiva.
You can leave.
(Doorbell)
(Doorbell)
What are you doing, Julián?
Do you know what is my favorite thing to do
with you?
Apart from what we just did?
Apart from that, of course.
Uh Give me a massage?
Take a nap with you.
At any time.
Me too.
Hey.
You have a little wrinkle here.
I hadn't noticed. It's new.
I must be growing up.
No, it's from smiling.
It looks good on you.
Nap position?
Nap position in three, two,
one
Zero.
I wish that life was just this.
Always.
(ERNESTO) Did they bury Leiva
with something of value?
No.
Well. This is the first time
that they've stolen a body.
It happens sometimes in other cemeteries.
Never here.
The ground bones are good
for curing the evil eye.
If you say so
Have you found anything of interest?
There are footprints, but they covered them.
They vanish not far along.
Why are you so concerned with a dead man?
The Ministry survived Leiva's
rebellion at great cost.
We couldn't allow another.
Dead men do not win battles.
You are wrong.
Remember El Cid Campeador.
And who is that?
Hello, Armando.
(ARMANDO) Hello.
-Armando.
Are you ok?
Weren't you on the thing with
the patent for the mop?
I came back a few hours
before the mission.
I'm not feeling well.
Well go right now to the infirmary.
Where's the boss?
In a meeting
with the heads of state.
The budget, you know.
I have to finish this project.
You go on. It wont be the first time
you use his office.
I'll bring you a paracetamol.
-Thank you. I'm going home.
Wouldn't it be better to have a doctor look at you?
-No.
I finished the report.
I'm going to rest.
(Door closing)
(Door opening)
Buenos días, Gladys.
(Door opening)
Hello, Angustias.
Is something wrong?
I didn't know that paracetamol
had such a rapid effect.
Well
give that to Salvador when he returns.
Inside is the certified copy
of the patent
for the prototype of the mop
invented by Manuel Jalón
in 1964.
Now the Americans won't steal
the invention from us.
Why are you looking at me like that, Angustias?
It's like you've seen a ghost.
(Door closing)
¡Ah!
I've just received a fax.
I sent it to myself in 2005.
I don't think I'll ever get used
to working at this Ministry.
And what do you say to yourself?
I haven't read it yet. I don't dare.
It's a general warning.
A double of Agent Leiva has
appeared in 2005.
Angustias tells m
Well, Angustias from 2005, of course
Tells me that "he is much
older and doesn't look well".
He's resurrected like Christ.
I don't think it was any miracle.
Me either.
Who are you calling, boss?
-The Ministry in 2005.
Better if I leave.
I don't want to pass out
hearing myself.
(SALVADOR) Do we know where Julián is?
I haven't been able to locate him.
Did you go to his house?
Yes, but he wasn't there.
I went inside with Irene's keys,
but I didn't see anything
that indicated where he could be.
(Telephone)
Yes, can I help you?
-Hello. This is Salvador Martí.
I'm calling you from the Ministry in 2015.
We've just received your fax.
2015? You haven't retired yet?
No, dear, no. They won't let me.
A quick question.
How's my health in the future?
Perfect.
What a relief. I just found a
lump in my chest
and I'm so scared.
-Relax.
It was diagnosed as not malignant.
I went with you myself to the doctor.
Now tell me about Leiva.
Are you sure that there were
two different Leivas?
-Completely
Also, the older one
was acting very strange.
He went into your office
to look at the computer.
Ok. And can you give me
any more information about that?
I don't know What documents
was he looking for?
Fine. Thank you, Angustias.
We'll be in contact.
Well, in contact
with the Angustias
Well, nevermind, my regards.
Leiva went through
a door that goes to
February 1844,
the time period he knows best, his own.
That wasn't a good period
for the Ministry.
Why?
They were tumultuous times.
In just one decade Spain
went through one king, two regents,
one queen and one civil war.
If only it had just been one
Later there were two more.
My grandfather told me about those times,
terrible years.
Most likely Leiva escaped
to save his son.
If the mission is to stop him,
count me out.
And me.
He hasn't gone to save his son.
Leiva traveled to 1844
and his son died January 12, 1842.
I'll never forget that date.
I do not understand.
There are more doors.
Why has Leiva not entered
one before that date?
Some doors were blocked in those years
to avoid worse problems.
Would you mind telling me what that means?
Don't worry about it.
Leiva has traveled to February, 1844.
-By that date, Queen Isabel II
was reigning at only 13 years old.
Her mother had just returned
from her exile in Paris.
On February 14th she made her first
official visit to the Ministry.
Little blind hen, what have you lost?
-A needle in a haystack.
Well turn three times
and you will find it.
Catch me.
Isabel, Luisa Fernanda, your mother
has arrived from Paris.
-My daughters.
-Mother!
No.
You are queen now, Isabel.
Now! Come on! (LAUGHS)
The rest of the men?
-Ready.
The inhibitors?
-Activated.
The Ministry can neither make
nor receive calls.
But we only have 24 hours.
More than enough time.
Wait for me here.
Sub-secretary Emilio Redón?
-Your servant.
-At your service.
Who are you and
to what do I owe the honor of your visit?
I am Armando Leiva,
commander of an inter-temporal unit
for the Ministry.
Ah, that sounds very important,
but I don't have any idea what it is
because here we don't have those.
Salvador Martí sent me,
head of the Ministry in 2015.
Ah, I've met him
at a Christmas luncheon, yes.
An upstanding man, an upstanding man.
You will understand,
I have to call him to confirm
that what you've said is true.
Security regulations.
-Of course.
(Dialing mobile phone)
How strange, there's no signal.
Hold on. (CLEARS THROAT)
It's not working either.
We are incommunicado.
That confirms our suspicions.
What do you mean?
I came to warn you
that the Queen Isabel II
will visit the Ministry.
We've come to protect her.
There's going to be an attempt on her life.
Who would attack the queen
in the Ministry? Who?
Carlist infiltrators .
-But, they've come to that?
Yes. We have it from a good source.
Well, let's not get excited.
Maybe you haven't been well informed.
The queen isn't here and we don't
expect her at the Ministry.
-Sir. Sir, Queen Isabel II
has just arrived,
with the Princess Luisa Fernanda
and the Queen Mother María Cristina.
Nothing, there's no signal and we've spent
more than half an hour calling.
He must have used inhibitors.
I know well how Leiva works.
They won't last long.
Electric lighting wasn't in use until 1879.
With strong batteries,
maximum 24 hours.
Then we should go at once.
Alonso, accompany Ernesto.
Recruit a couple of armed men.
Ah, and dress
like soldiers of that time.
I want to go with them.
It might cost you your life.
They are my team mates.
I won't let them go alone.
If Julián were here
he would feel the same way.
And Irene?
She could be a big help.
No. Irene will stay here to
coordinate the mission.
You have 24 hours to save this
Ministry and the history of Spain.
Now go at once.
What's going on with you and Salvador?
Nothing.
You know where Julián is,
don't you?
It is his decision.
I must respect it.
You are going to need help,
mine and Julián's.
Irene, please.
It's for his own good, I assure you.
Come on, Amelia.
(WHISPERS) Door 367 in 2012.
Thank you.
Ernesto, are you in command?
Along with Amelia.
Here at the end, the only one
who never gives orders is me.
If we had known you were coming,
we would have organized a reception
worthy of a queen.
-It was a whim of Her Majesty.
Since she read about the Ministry
of Time she's wanted only to come here.
Either way, it is an great honor
-You can stick your flattery
where the sun doesn't shine.
You know that I am not a supporter
of this Ministry.
May we speak in private?
Isabel, stay with your sister
and these gentlemen.
Emilio Redón.
-Emilio Redón.
And with the Captain also.
This way we can play
little blind hen.
For me, little blind hen is
-I'm the queen.
You will do as I say.
Of course, of course.
Let's go.
Let's go, of course, yes.
It's come to our attention that
there's going to be an attempt on the queen's life.
(ISABEL) Little blind hen
-Mother Mary!
But she's only a girl.
-Turn three times
and you will find it.
Do you know the date of this vile plan?
-Today.
We, must return to the palace at once.
-No, the streets are dangerous.
You'll be protected here.
This is a stronghold.
As you say.
Don Emilio.
Until we foil the plan
of these bastards,
I'll take command of this Ministry
with my men.
Of course. Captain.
Obey him completely.
-Yes, sir.
I want lookouts
in every hallway
whose doors come from 2015.
I'll see to it
myself, sir.
Tell my men which room is
safest in this Ministry.
Follow me.
Don't get too close to the walls,
they stain.
Careful.
After you.
It was an antique fitting room.
(CLEARS THROAT) We hid the
Book of Doors here.
in case of danger.
The mirrors create a lot of confusion.
If you say so
Will you stay with them?
Eh Yes, of course.
And you?
We'll stand guard in the corridor.
(Door closing)
(Bolt closing)
What is going on here?
(Doorbell)
They'll leave soon.
(Doorbell and pounding on the door)
Pains in the ass.
I'll go.
(Doorbell)
What are you doing here?
No, what are you doing here?
How did you find me,
did you go in my house?
You need to return to the Ministry.
There are more important things
than the Ministry.
We have a serious problem, Julián.
You can't leave your team in the lurch.
Who is it?
A saleswoman. She's just leaving.
Hello.
Hello.
Here's a catalog.
¿Huh? Encyclopedias
I thought that they stopped
selling them door-to-door.
It's old-fashioned, but well,
a girl's got to make a living.
Ah. Thank you, but no
No, we're not interested.
Keep it.
I'll leave you my card.
In case you change your mind.
Thank you.
See you.
How pushy.
I'M GIVING YOU HALF AN HOUR TO GET TO 2015
DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK FOR YOU
(Phone on vibrate)
(Footsteps approaching)
Yes?
(LEIVA) How are you, friend?
Armando.
Wow, it looks like communications
are back on line.
Yes, but only for a short time.
In the meantime, I'm saving on batteries.
-Mmhm. What do you want?
First,
to thank you for everything.
Especially
for attending my funeral.
They've told me
that it was a moving service.
Yeah. And second?
Look in your desk.
What?
You You have
the royal family captive?
-Yes
They'll die in a few hours
and no one can stop me.
Espartero is in London and by the time
he makes a move it will be too late.
Carlism will win the war
that history says it lost.
But you have always
hated the carlists.
Don't you remember that they wanted to
bring back the Inquisition?
And who is Isabel II?
Daughter of Fernando VII, king
who betrayed Spain to Napoleon.
Not exactly fun times either, right?
The things you can do in the past
with technology from the future.
Do you know what I'm watching right now?
No. You tell me.
-The team that you sent arriving.
Well, I have to let you go.
I have to go welcome them.
Armando. Arman
¡Armando! ¡Armando!
Any news?
They've caught our team.
I'm going to send the army.
But they'll all die.
That is something
that we can no longer avoid.
It's Salvador Martí. Send in the troops.
Should we make some food
and watch a movie
or do you want to go out to eat?
Ramón left me a message.
A problem's come up.
Ah. I hope its not serious.
I don't think so.
But since I left early, I don't
want my boss to catch me.
Damn, I'm sorry.
Me too.
Ok then, we'll watch the movie on Saturday?
All right then.
But we're going to make a pact.
We're going to act like none of this happened.
Why?
It's a game.
If you promise you won't talk about
what we've done
another day I'll surprise you again.
With no one?
Not even with me.
You're stranger every day.
But I love it.
Are you from the Ministry?
-Hands up, Carlist scum.
We're not Carlists.
Hold on.
Hold on.
They are lying to you.
We're your colleagues.
Shut up, child-killer.
The Carlists.
Welcome.
Ernesto, long time no see.
Leiva.
Where's Irene?
She's not on this mission.
Damn.
The Ministry
always keeps it's best behind.
They're from the Ministry?
They're not Carlists?
For asking.
(Shots)
Alonso!
Lock them up.
Ah.
He needs a doctor.
My son also needed one,
right, Ernesto?
Ah.
What do you want to accomplish, Leiva?
What I should have done
a long time ago.
You want to save your friend?
Tell me the name
of who betrayed me.
Do not do it, Ernesto,
do not do it.
Take them away.
If they change their minds, let me know.
Here, here. Carefully.
Careful.
Alonso.
Ah.
Alonso, don't close your eyes.
Alonso, come on.
Don't go, please.
He's lost a lot of blood.
Alonso, please.
Listen to me, Alonso.
Listen to me.
We'll call our team Strength and Honor
like you wanted.
I'll embroider it on a ribbon for you.
I'll learn to embroider, I promise you,
but don't go.
And you'll be in command.
Do you hear?, you'll be in command.
Julián and I will be your soldiers.
I'll speak with Salvador.
Eh
What did you say?
Confessor.
(FALTERING BREATHS)
He's asking for a confessor.
You have to go.
Soon they'll send in the army.
Salvador knows that I won't negotiate
and I don't plan on dying here.
Where are you going?
-I have a pending matter.
Do you want me to accompany you?
-I'll go alone.
You'll have to finish the job.
The girls
Too?
-Them too.
And the mother.
They're not going to be any different from the
rest.
When you're done,
leave here to the mountains
A Carlist brigade
is camouflaged there, waiting for us.
Something wrong?
Look, Leiva,
you know that I would
follow you into hell,
But the idea
was to change the Ministry
and I'm not sure
that this isn't more than just
personal vengeance.
-Yes.
It's time for vengeance.
Do you have a problem?
Put yours on.
Not really 1844's style, is it?
No, neither is this.
But better to go protected.
Is it necessary?
I assure you that where we're going
they're not handing out candy.
Do we know anything about our team?
They've been taken prisoners.
If we don't hurry, they'll die.
Does Salvador know that?
No, Salvador sent the army.
but we'll get there first.
With the army not even
the lowest clerk will survive.
And with us?
There's a possibility
the clerk will live.
It's a question of finding Leiva.
He'll listen to me.
Are you sure about what we're doing?
We don't have another option.
There's still time to back out.
No damn way. They're my teammates.
I've already left them alone for too long.
Let's go.
(Door opening)
My god, what a bloodbath.
It's the Ministry's guards.
None of them are from our team.
No.
(Gun shots)
Automatic gun fire.
There weren't any in this time period.
They must be Leiva's men.
Fantastic.
Come on. This way.
(Gun shots)
What was that?
Stay calm. We're safe here.
(Bolt opening)
Over my dead body.
As you wish.
Do something!
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, Lord.
Yes, thank the Lord
and this very handsome man.
If we had to depend on you
Are you well?
Where are my teammates?
What teammates?
A group came before us.
They captured them.
Well if they're not dead,
they'll be in the cells.
He's dying.
(Gun shots)
And very possibly we are, too.
Amelia, Alonso!
It's them.
Julián, here!
Here! We're here!
Julián.
He's lost a lot of blood.
Lift up your skirt.
What?
I said lift up your skirt, quickly!
Did you come alone?
With Irene.
Where is she?
Looking for Leiva.
I couldn't stop her.
Can you save him?
I need to do a blood transfusion.
That works?
With a compatible donor, yes.
(COUGHS)
I want the name.
Don't move, Angustias.
-Leave him alone.
Think about old times.
Old times.
Old times.
All this has been for old times.
Angustias, II'd appreciate it if you
stopped talking
because we've already
got enough problems, huh?
God.
Who betrayed me?
Are you going to kill me?
-No.
I'm going to let you live for two reasons.
Because I owe you
and because I want you to live so you can see
how this Ministry crumbles.
Lookouts, one to the north, another to the east.
General, from here on the security
of the queen is in your hands.
And this Leiva?
We don't know.
Order your people
to comb the Ministry.
Maybe some of his men
are still hiding here.
Didn't you hear me?
Yes, but I am not accustomed
Well get accustomed
to receiving orders from a woman.
Starting with those from this young lady
that's coming now.
I'll inform Salvador.
Good.
Find whoever did all this.
and then close down this place.
-Why?
Why? This is an evil madness.
As you say.
-I am the queen.
Not my mother.
It might be best
if you escort them to the palace.
If you would be so kind
Have you spoken with Salvador?
He doesn't answer,
nor Angustias.
Surely Levia is there.
He's obsessed with finding out
who betrayed him.
Get up!
And find the file on my arrest.
It's just that, to access it
I need to type in the secret code.
Look, Angustias, let me be clear.
Find me the file,
or I'll kill you.
It doesn't have the name
of your informer?
I'm only the secretary.
There's another way to find out.
How?
Traitors always receive a reward.
Look up the promotions around
the date of my arrest.
Ernesto was promoted to your position.
No, Ernesto was already my enemy
by then
and only your friends betray you.
Keep looking.
There was only one other promotion.
It can't be.
(SALVADOR) Thank you, Angustias.
What happened with Queen Isabel?
-Saved. And the Ministry as well.
Thanks to Irene and Julián.
It was Leiva, right?
Yes.
He knows it was you.
He's looked up your address and
taken a copy of your file.
But I've already sent people to your house
and there's no one there, don't worry.
(Phone)
Nuria.
Don't even think about touching her, Leiva.
No.
I know where you are.
Tell me where he is.
I'm going to send the police.
This is a personal matter.
Nuria!
Irene!
Nuria, relax.
Relax. Nothing's going to happen.
How quickly you came.
You must care for her deeply.
Don't doubt it.
Then she should be careful,
because
you also cared deeply for me.
Do you remember?
Leiva, please.
Please what, Irene?
You don't have no right
to ask me for favors!
I stopped you from killing yourself
when you were an unhappy wife
and they wanted to fire you
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
You were married?
-And look at how you've repaid me.
How can you say that you love her
if you haven't told her who you are?
Don't even think about getting out that gun
or I'll kill her.
-You have a gun?
Let her down
and take me in her place.
That is one possibility, yes.
But first
we're going to tell her
the whole truth about her wife.
No.
Like the year of your birth.
Come on, tell her.
No.
Tell her or I'll kill her.
What? Louder!
1930!
What nonsense it this?
She looks good, eh?
Nuria.
That is impossible.
-Yes,
as impossible
as your wife carrying a gun.
Your wife and I
travel in time, Nuria.
I I'm getting dizzy.
Please.
Please.
Why did you betray me, Irene?
You were going crazy
and it was going to cost a lot of lives.
Like it's costing them now.
I only wanted
to save my son's life.
I know,
and I supported you,
don't you remember?
But you lost control.
You aren't the Leiva that I knew.
That Leiva saved my life
and gave me everything.
He taught me that the most important thing
was to defend the Ministry.
I didn't betray you, Leiva
I did what you taught me
that I had to do.
I've spent these last years dreaming about
discovering who betrayed me
and taking my revenge.
Leiva, please.
Please.
Fine.
It's time to end this story.
Get down.
You ruined my life.
And I've just ruined yours.
We're even.
No.
No. ¡No!
¡No! ¡No!
Irene and Julián.
I could suspend them from their duties
for breaking the chain of command
except this time the chain of command
hasn't been up to the task.
Thank you.
And you, Alonso, how is it
that you aren't in the hospital?
I do not like hospitals, sir.
Eh. May I ask you a question?
Mmhm, of course.
I am alive
because someone gave their blood
so that it could run in my veins.
I would like to know who
to thank them.
You won't have to go far to do it.
Amelia?
Yes.
This is a jest.
In my veins runs the
blood of a woman?
And you're complaining?
Fine, fine, fine.
I'll leave you your debates.
The important thing is that you've saved
the Ministry, yes?
I don't believe we have saved it yet.
There is one important problem to
be solved.
You see, María Cristina of Borbon
and Two Sicilies
is very affected by what happened
and is pressuring her daughter to close
the Ministry immediately.
In other words,
like the song says,
"María Cristina
wants to rule us all".
Well, we are not going to
play along with her.
It's necessary to show these girls
the importance of the Ministry.
Look, I'll
I'll leave it in your hands, Ernesto.
No.
No, Salvador, hold on.
You'll see, I don't
I don't have any idea
how to deal with children.
-But we've all been children
at one point.
Try to remember.
We have to think of something that a
16th century girl would like
if she came to our time.
Stand down, recruit.
I could give you some tips, if you like.
"When you're ready, close your eyes.
Let's begin
now".
Is that your dinner?
My fridge is empty.
Well, I'm going to get sushi.
Nuria has gone
to her parent's house and
I'll pass on cooking.
Know what? When I was little my mom always said
that you can't survive
eating just one thing.
She was right.
Well it's a lie.
I've spent three years
living off frozen pizzas.
Everything alright with your girl?
I don't think she's going to get over
what happened.
I've lost her.
I'm sorry.
I'll live.
This is my life.
The job
will always save us, you know?
And you should take this lesson to heart.
Stop the madness
with Maite, Julián,
or you will lose the only thing you have left,
this Ministry.
Like me.
Well.
I'm leaving before
the Japanese place closes.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
(Footsteps leaving)
(Door closing)
Hello.
You're home already?
Of course, I'm sick. Remember?
Ah.
And you got the urge
to clean windows?
Well I feel a lot better.
Am I missing somethig?
You devil.
Me, why?
Dude, you could be an actor.
You're very good.
You're bonkers.
(LAUGHS)
You're bonkers!
No, no, no.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
Don't come any closer.
If you knew all the future has to offer
you, you wouldn't jump.
I don't have a future.
Life is good to some.
Everyone else has to sit by while
they pile shit on us, right?
Stop saying nonsense.
You don't know me.
Your name is Irene Larra Girón.
Your father is a General in the Army.
You work for the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs
you coordinate all
the administrative staff.
You are the first woman
who has risen so high.
They make your life impossible
since you uncovered
that the governor
of Spanish Guinea
was getting rich
backing British businesses.
You shouldn't have done it.
The Minister takes 50%
of the governor's businesses.
How do you know all that?
The same way I know you live an unhappy life
with your husband.
Not just unhappy, empty.
He says you're insane.
And your parents agree with him.
They want a grandchild,
but you're not going to give them one.
These aren't good times
for a woman like you,
trustworthy, independent,
different.
Don't jump, Irene.
If you jump you will make your bosses
and your husband happy,
Don't give them that pleasure.
And why are you doing this for me?
The government doesn't like
to lose talent like yours.
Welcome to the Ministry of Time.
Well, this is nothing.
Come, I have to introduce you
to everyone else.
I've told them
that you are a great recruit.
(Chime of travelling sharpener)
(Chime of travelling sharpener)
(OUTSIDE) (MAN'S VOICE)
The sharpener!
Good Morning.
Irene.
Another nightmare?
Yeah.
Medical exams.
I was two hours late and left
100 questions unanswered.
Well I'm glad I woke you up.
Me too.
But why the obsession with exams?
You passed them
Eight years ago.
Eight years ago.
Well it's about time
to get over it, eh?
Yes.
What's wrong? Are you ok?
It's been a week without any good sleep.
These days
I always have nightmares.
The other day I dreamed
I was walking into surgery,
and the patient I had to operate on was me.
Oof. That's much worse than
the one about exams.
I think that we both
need a vacation.
But soon.
They owe me a few days,
so if you want
we could go to
Paris.
(LAUGHS)
Paris. You read my mind.
What time is it?
You can sleep a bit longer.
No.
I'll get up and we'll have breakfast together, later
we won't see each other all day.
It's just that I'm in a rush.
I'll have a coffee at the Ministry,
don't worry.
Is what you have to do
so important?
I have to go to a funeral outside Madrid.
An old colleague.
He had been retired for a while.
Someone who was important to you?
Yes, very.
And why
have you never told me about him?
I don't know any of your
workmates. You never talk about them.
I guess I'm just going to have to
visit you to meet them.
It's not worth the trouble.
Your hospital is much
more interesting. I promise you.
My job is very boring.
What do you expect
from a Ministry.
(Ministry of Time theme song)
Chapter 7
Time for vengeance
I don't know what you dislike about Felipe V.
Well,
I would have preferred
Carlos de Habsburgo.
What's the difference? In the end they all rule
because they were born in a palace.
I am telling you that, to us Catalonians
they are not all the same.
Let's change the subject,
my head already hurts enough
from this wig.
Hello, Irene.
What's going on with her?
I think I know who can tell us.
You haven't heard?
Armando Leiva's died.
And who is that?
The agent that recruited her.
They were joined at the hip.
So much so that it was even
rumored that they were dating.
Which knowing Irene's preferences
was a lie, obviously.
How can it be that we have
never heard of Leiva?
No one dares to talk about him.
It was terrible.
Leiva was a hero in the war
against the Carlists.
He was in the military?
Yes, he was a Captain.
And Don Salvador's
right hand man.
He was his Chief of Operations.
Isn't that the position
that Ernesto has now?
Yes .
Ernesto took Leiva's place
when everything happened.
Angustias, for the love of God,
get to the point.
If you don't stop asking me questions
I can't get to the point.
Everything started ten years ago,
in 2005.
Leiva's son fell ill with leukemia.
and 19th century medicine
couldn't cure him.
Leiva asked Salvador
to bring his son to the present.
In the Niño Jesús hospital.
they have a great pediatric
oncology department.
It is the last chance I have
to save my son.
-I'm sorry, but I can't
give you permission.
I couldn't even allow that for myself.
You don't need it.
You live in the 21st century.
It's the rules.
Fucking rules.
-You're a soldier, Leiva.
You know better than anyone
that the rules are there for a reason.
We're talking about my son, damn it!
-Does one of our children
have more right to live than the
child of someone who doesn't work here?
Well, we can save all their lives.
We could do that.
-Leiva, do you know what would happen
if we gave modern medicine
to everyone who needed it
in the past?
Yes, we would save many lives.
Yes, and we would have overpopulation.
There wouldn't be enough food for everyone.
They would still die.
Apart from that, it's history.
We can't change it.
-Don't give me that same old line
about changing history.
I've risked my life 1,000 times
so that history wouldn't change.
I've saved many lives,
distinguished and wretched,
and as myself, many of my colleagues.
If the Ministry
isn't helping our families,
something has to change
at the Ministry.
Armando.
(Door shuts)
Salvador.
Don't you think that we could
review his case?
There is nothing I'd like more
in this world,
but if we make an exception for him
everyone will want the same
and where will we draw the line?
(ANGUSTIAS) Salvador wouldn't let
the employees travel
in time for medical reasons.
But Leiva's colleagues
sided with him.
and it turned into a strike.
After a bit, Leiva and his followers
radicalized
and the strike
turned into a revolt.
They organized a secret plan
to take over the Ministry
but someone betrayed them.
And Leiva his people were
locked up and completely disappeared.
We turned the page
and there was peace and later harmony.
Life went on as before.
What a horror.
Hold on, one minute.
There was so much strife
in the Ministry
and no one on the outside found out?
It was December.
In that year the Constitution Day holiday
was six days long, so of course
This country will never change.
And what happened to Leiva's son?
He died. Poor child.
(PRAYING IN LATIN)
I thought you'd come.
(PRIEST CONTINUES PRAYING)
Leiva dedicated his life to the Ministry.
He doesn't deserve this end.
Buried outside his time,
without any family.
Among criminals.
The rules of the Ministry
are strict.
People are strict.
Rules are words on paper.
Leiva went as far as he did
out of desperation.
But before that he did so much for you.
(SALVADOR) To the Ministry
and to the Kingdom of Asturias
And to us.
How delicious.
The best cider I've tasted.
It's from the 8th century,
without coloring or preservatives.
A present from Don Pelayo.
The least he could do. We saved his life.
Yes it is good.
-Long live the reconquest.
This deserves a photograph.
Angustias, if you would be so kind
-At your order.
Come on.
-Let's see how to line up here.
Eh, the blonde in the middle.
-Ah.
Of course.
(ANGUSTIAS) Smile
for the history books.
(Footsteps approaching)
Good evening.
Hello.
You aren't going home?
No. Later.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Is that him?
Yes.
Feel like a drink?
I'm not really up for it,
truthfully.
Thanks.
You told me
that whenever I needed help
I could count on you.
I want you to know that you can
count on me, too.
For anthing.
(Music inside)
Something tells me that I
would have got along with Leiva.
Yes, because you have a
rebellious streak like him.
Is someone waiting for you?
You know there isn't.
But for you there is.
No. Nuria's on call.
The exciting world
of being on-call.
Yeah.
Have you been together long?
Four years.
Ah. I thought less.
Since you are so
Adventurous?
Exactly.
Of course.
Don't get confused,
I might be adventurous,
but I'm not disloyal to my partner.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you sleep with
someone from the 19th century,
your partner hasn't been born yet
and you aren't cheating.
Indeed.
That's it, right?
That's it.
How'd it go? Your game, your rules.
Which you don't like at all, I see.
I respect them, but I have others.
You have others
because you've chosen them.
I have mine
because I spent half my life
living by the rules
that everyone else made for me.
I spent my youth married
to man I detested.
My parents forced me to
marry him at the age of 17.
Damn. I'm sorry.
It could have been worse,
they almost sent me to become a nun.
because they found me with a
girlfriend in the bathroom.
It must be hard, not being
accepted as who you are.
You can't even imagine.
That's why, when Leiva
offered to change my life
I swore to myself
that I would never regret
not living it to the fullest.
You're still seeing Maite, right?
What, are you going
to tell Salvador?
No, you know I wouldn't do that.
I'm telling you as a friend.
You shouldn't see her.
You have to leave the past
in the past.
Or you're going to go crazy.
Well,
That's my business.
Ok.
I'm not going to give you
a therapy session
Anyway, today you are the
psychologist and I'm the patient.
Huh.
I think I'm going home,
because if I don't, the temptation
will be too strong.
Hey, they're looking at me.
Right, beautiful?
Yeah. You give me 5 minutes with them
and we'll see who they're smiling at then.
Have a little fun, go on.
A little happiness won't hurt.
Your treat?
My treat.
(WOMEN) He's pretty nice, eh?
Ciao.
She's smiling at you.
He's cute, yeah? Very nice.
(SIGHS) Oh lord.
(WOMAN) (GASPING WITH PLEASURE)
Good morning.
Hi.
So many photos.
You aren't a photographer, are you?
My ex was.
And this girl who's in all of them?
Leave that photo where it was,
please.
Fine, fine.
You're married, aren't you?
No.
It would be best if you left.
Listen, if I've offended you
I want to be alone. Nothing more.
(WHISPERS) I miss you so much.
(REMEMBERING)
"Is someone waiting for you?
You know there isn't, but there is for you.
No, Nuria's on call.
The exciting world
of being on-call"
Bye.
(Door closing)
(Pager)
Never has this machine from hell
rang so much.
It must be urgent.
Come on, Julian must already be upstairs.
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
I missed you.
Come on, seriously.
I'm serious.
I got someone to cover for me
so I could spend the day with you.
How adorable.
There's only one problem.
What?
I have to go to work.
Oh no.
Imagine you're sick,
you could be.
Give me that.
Anyone can get sick,
I mean, nothing's going to happen.
I'm going to be late. Go.
Hello. Good morning. Can you connect me with
Leonor, in administration, please?
Thank you.
You're crazy.
(SHUSHES)
Leonor, It's Julián,
Maite's husband.
How are you? She's lost her
voice. She won't be able to teach class.
Yes, suddenly.
She must have caught a cold, I don't know.
Good, I'll tell her.
Yeah, thank you. Kisses.
Kisses. Ciao.
Get well soon.
They'll arrange a substitute.
I can't believe it.
But what's gotten into you?
Love's gotten into me.
Oh my God, how corny.
You're terrible.
Where is Julián? Have you notified him?
Yes.
Some have called Syphilis the
Spanish disease but they were wrong,
The Spanish disease has always been
tardiness.
If you would like, I could go look for him.
No, no.
That won't be necessary. I'll speak with him
when he shows up.
Right now you have an important mission
to complete.
Has something very serious happened?
This morning the body of
Armando Leiva was stolen.
But that can't be.
We saw how they buried him.
Indeed. Now we have to figure out
who did it and for what reason.
Alonso, accompany Ernesto,
you'll go to the scene of the crime
and collect possible evidence.
Interview anyone you need to.
You locate Julián, immediately.
Go to his house and see if he's there.
And if he isn't?
Get in somehow.
Don't worry.
I'll leave you my magic keys.
They open everything.
And me, what should I do?
You stay. Everyone else go do
what you have to do.
Tell me one thing.
When you went to the 11th century castle
to interrogate Walcott
Did you go see Leiva?
Until the case has been solved
you are off the mission.
I just wanted to know
how he was doing.
I took him some medicine.
He was very sick.
You must believe me.
What I believe or don't believe
doesn't matter.
Those are the rules of the Ministry.
You can leave now.
You were testing me.
When you ordered me
to interrogate the American.
you wanted to know if I was
capable of not seeing Leiva.
You can leave.
(Doorbell)
(Doorbell)
What are you doing, Julián?
Do you know what is my favorite thing to do
with you?
Apart from what we just did?
Apart from that, of course.
Uh Give me a massage?
Take a nap with you.
At any time.
Me too.
Hey.
You have a little wrinkle here.
I hadn't noticed. It's new.
I must be growing up.
No, it's from smiling.
It looks good on you.
Nap position?
Nap position in three, two,
one
Zero.
I wish that life was just this.
Always.
(ERNESTO) Did they bury Leiva
with something of value?
No.
Well. This is the first time
that they've stolen a body.
It happens sometimes in other cemeteries.
Never here.
The ground bones are good
for curing the evil eye.
If you say so
Have you found anything of interest?
There are footprints, but they covered them.
They vanish not far along.
Why are you so concerned with a dead man?
The Ministry survived Leiva's
rebellion at great cost.
We couldn't allow another.
Dead men do not win battles.
You are wrong.
Remember El Cid Campeador.
And who is that?
Hello, Armando.
(ARMANDO) Hello.
-Armando.
Are you ok?
Weren't you on the thing with
the patent for the mop?
I came back a few hours
before the mission.
I'm not feeling well.
Well go right now to the infirmary.
Where's the boss?
In a meeting
with the heads of state.
The budget, you know.
I have to finish this project.
You go on. It wont be the first time
you use his office.
I'll bring you a paracetamol.
-Thank you. I'm going home.
Wouldn't it be better to have a doctor look at you?
-No.
I finished the report.
I'm going to rest.
(Door closing)
(Door opening)
Buenos días, Gladys.
(Door opening)
Hello, Angustias.
Is something wrong?
I didn't know that paracetamol
had such a rapid effect.
Well
give that to Salvador when he returns.
Inside is the certified copy
of the patent
for the prototype of the mop
invented by Manuel Jalón
in 1964.
Now the Americans won't steal
the invention from us.
Why are you looking at me like that, Angustias?
It's like you've seen a ghost.
(Door closing)
¡Ah!
I've just received a fax.
I sent it to myself in 2005.
I don't think I'll ever get used
to working at this Ministry.
And what do you say to yourself?
I haven't read it yet. I don't dare.
It's a general warning.
A double of Agent Leiva has
appeared in 2005.
Angustias tells m
Well, Angustias from 2005, of course
Tells me that "he is much
older and doesn't look well".
He's resurrected like Christ.
I don't think it was any miracle.
Me either.
Who are you calling, boss?
-The Ministry in 2005.
Better if I leave.
I don't want to pass out
hearing myself.
(SALVADOR) Do we know where Julián is?
I haven't been able to locate him.
Did you go to his house?
Yes, but he wasn't there.
I went inside with Irene's keys,
but I didn't see anything
that indicated where he could be.
(Telephone)
Yes, can I help you?
-Hello. This is Salvador Martí.
I'm calling you from the Ministry in 2015.
We've just received your fax.
2015? You haven't retired yet?
No, dear, no. They won't let me.
A quick question.
How's my health in the future?
Perfect.
What a relief. I just found a
lump in my chest
and I'm so scared.
-Relax.
It was diagnosed as not malignant.
I went with you myself to the doctor.
Now tell me about Leiva.
Are you sure that there were
two different Leivas?
-Completely
Also, the older one
was acting very strange.
He went into your office
to look at the computer.
Ok. And can you give me
any more information about that?
I don't know What documents
was he looking for?
Fine. Thank you, Angustias.
We'll be in contact.
Well, in contact
with the Angustias
Well, nevermind, my regards.
Leiva went through
a door that goes to
February 1844,
the time period he knows best, his own.
That wasn't a good period
for the Ministry.
Why?
They were tumultuous times.
In just one decade Spain
went through one king, two regents,
one queen and one civil war.
If only it had just been one
Later there were two more.
My grandfather told me about those times,
terrible years.
Most likely Leiva escaped
to save his son.
If the mission is to stop him,
count me out.
And me.
He hasn't gone to save his son.
Leiva traveled to 1844
and his son died January 12, 1842.
I'll never forget that date.
I do not understand.
There are more doors.
Why has Leiva not entered
one before that date?
Some doors were blocked in those years
to avoid worse problems.
Would you mind telling me what that means?
Don't worry about it.
Leiva has traveled to February, 1844.
-By that date, Queen Isabel II
was reigning at only 13 years old.
Her mother had just returned
from her exile in Paris.
On February 14th she made her first
official visit to the Ministry.
Little blind hen, what have you lost?
-A needle in a haystack.
Well turn three times
and you will find it.
Catch me.
Isabel, Luisa Fernanda, your mother
has arrived from Paris.
-My daughters.
-Mother!
No.
You are queen now, Isabel.
Now! Come on! (LAUGHS)
The rest of the men?
-Ready.
The inhibitors?
-Activated.
The Ministry can neither make
nor receive calls.
But we only have 24 hours.
More than enough time.
Wait for me here.
Sub-secretary Emilio Redón?
-Your servant.
-At your service.
Who are you and
to what do I owe the honor of your visit?
I am Armando Leiva,
commander of an inter-temporal unit
for the Ministry.
Ah, that sounds very important,
but I don't have any idea what it is
because here we don't have those.
Salvador Martí sent me,
head of the Ministry in 2015.
Ah, I've met him
at a Christmas luncheon, yes.
An upstanding man, an upstanding man.
You will understand,
I have to call him to confirm
that what you've said is true.
Security regulations.
-Of course.
(Dialing mobile phone)
How strange, there's no signal.
Hold on. (CLEARS THROAT)
It's not working either.
We are incommunicado.
That confirms our suspicions.
What do you mean?
I came to warn you
that the Queen Isabel II
will visit the Ministry.
We've come to protect her.
There's going to be an attempt on her life.
Who would attack the queen
in the Ministry? Who?
Carlist infiltrators .
-But, they've come to that?
Yes. We have it from a good source.
Well, let's not get excited.
Maybe you haven't been well informed.
The queen isn't here and we don't
expect her at the Ministry.
-Sir. Sir, Queen Isabel II
has just arrived,
with the Princess Luisa Fernanda
and the Queen Mother María Cristina.
Nothing, there's no signal and we've spent
more than half an hour calling.
He must have used inhibitors.
I know well how Leiva works.
They won't last long.
Electric lighting wasn't in use until 1879.
With strong batteries,
maximum 24 hours.
Then we should go at once.
Alonso, accompany Ernesto.
Recruit a couple of armed men.
Ah, and dress
like soldiers of that time.
I want to go with them.
It might cost you your life.
They are my team mates.
I won't let them go alone.
If Julián were here
he would feel the same way.
And Irene?
She could be a big help.
No. Irene will stay here to
coordinate the mission.
You have 24 hours to save this
Ministry and the history of Spain.
Now go at once.
What's going on with you and Salvador?
Nothing.
You know where Julián is,
don't you?
It is his decision.
I must respect it.
You are going to need help,
mine and Julián's.
Irene, please.
It's for his own good, I assure you.
Come on, Amelia.
(WHISPERS) Door 367 in 2012.
Thank you.
Ernesto, are you in command?
Along with Amelia.
Here at the end, the only one
who never gives orders is me.
If we had known you were coming,
we would have organized a reception
worthy of a queen.
-It was a whim of Her Majesty.
Since she read about the Ministry
of Time she's wanted only to come here.
Either way, it is an great honor
-You can stick your flattery
where the sun doesn't shine.
You know that I am not a supporter
of this Ministry.
May we speak in private?
Isabel, stay with your sister
and these gentlemen.
Emilio Redón.
-Emilio Redón.
And with the Captain also.
This way we can play
little blind hen.
For me, little blind hen is
-I'm the queen.
You will do as I say.
Of course, of course.
Let's go.
Let's go, of course, yes.
It's come to our attention that
there's going to be an attempt on the queen's life.
(ISABEL) Little blind hen
-Mother Mary!
But she's only a girl.
-Turn three times
and you will find it.
Do you know the date of this vile plan?
-Today.
We, must return to the palace at once.
-No, the streets are dangerous.
You'll be protected here.
This is a stronghold.
As you say.
Don Emilio.
Until we foil the plan
of these bastards,
I'll take command of this Ministry
with my men.
Of course. Captain.
Obey him completely.
-Yes, sir.
I want lookouts
in every hallway
whose doors come from 2015.
I'll see to it
myself, sir.
Tell my men which room is
safest in this Ministry.
Follow me.
Don't get too close to the walls,
they stain.
Careful.
After you.
It was an antique fitting room.
(CLEARS THROAT) We hid the
Book of Doors here.
in case of danger.
The mirrors create a lot of confusion.
If you say so
Will you stay with them?
Eh Yes, of course.
And you?
We'll stand guard in the corridor.
(Door closing)
(Bolt closing)
What is going on here?
(Doorbell)
They'll leave soon.
(Doorbell and pounding on the door)
Pains in the ass.
I'll go.
(Doorbell)
What are you doing here?
No, what are you doing here?
How did you find me,
did you go in my house?
You need to return to the Ministry.
There are more important things
than the Ministry.
We have a serious problem, Julián.
You can't leave your team in the lurch.
Who is it?
A saleswoman. She's just leaving.
Hello.
Hello.
Here's a catalog.
¿Huh? Encyclopedias
I thought that they stopped
selling them door-to-door.
It's old-fashioned, but well,
a girl's got to make a living.
Ah. Thank you, but no
No, we're not interested.
Keep it.
I'll leave you my card.
In case you change your mind.
Thank you.
See you.
How pushy.
I'M GIVING YOU HALF AN HOUR TO GET TO 2015
DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK FOR YOU
(Phone on vibrate)
(Footsteps approaching)
Yes?
(LEIVA) How are you, friend?
Armando.
Wow, it looks like communications
are back on line.
Yes, but only for a short time.
In the meantime, I'm saving on batteries.
-Mmhm. What do you want?
First,
to thank you for everything.
Especially
for attending my funeral.
They've told me
that it was a moving service.
Yeah. And second?
Look in your desk.
What?
You You have
the royal family captive?
-Yes
They'll die in a few hours
and no one can stop me.
Espartero is in London and by the time
he makes a move it will be too late.
Carlism will win the war
that history says it lost.
But you have always
hated the carlists.
Don't you remember that they wanted to
bring back the Inquisition?
And who is Isabel II?
Daughter of Fernando VII, king
who betrayed Spain to Napoleon.
Not exactly fun times either, right?
The things you can do in the past
with technology from the future.
Do you know what I'm watching right now?
No. You tell me.
-The team that you sent arriving.
Well, I have to let you go.
I have to go welcome them.
Armando. Arman
¡Armando! ¡Armando!
Any news?
They've caught our team.
I'm going to send the army.
But they'll all die.
That is something
that we can no longer avoid.
It's Salvador Martí. Send in the troops.
Should we make some food
and watch a movie
or do you want to go out to eat?
Ramón left me a message.
A problem's come up.
Ah. I hope its not serious.
I don't think so.
But since I left early, I don't
want my boss to catch me.
Damn, I'm sorry.
Me too.
Ok then, we'll watch the movie on Saturday?
All right then.
But we're going to make a pact.
We're going to act like none of this happened.
Why?
It's a game.
If you promise you won't talk about
what we've done
another day I'll surprise you again.
With no one?
Not even with me.
You're stranger every day.
But I love it.
Are you from the Ministry?
-Hands up, Carlist scum.
We're not Carlists.
Hold on.
Hold on.
They are lying to you.
We're your colleagues.
Shut up, child-killer.
The Carlists.
Welcome.
Ernesto, long time no see.
Leiva.
Where's Irene?
She's not on this mission.
Damn.
The Ministry
always keeps it's best behind.
They're from the Ministry?
They're not Carlists?
For asking.
(Shots)
Alonso!
Lock them up.
Ah.
He needs a doctor.
My son also needed one,
right, Ernesto?
Ah.
What do you want to accomplish, Leiva?
What I should have done
a long time ago.
You want to save your friend?
Tell me the name
of who betrayed me.
Do not do it, Ernesto,
do not do it.
Take them away.
If they change their minds, let me know.
Here, here. Carefully.
Careful.
Alonso.
Ah.
Alonso, don't close your eyes.
Alonso, come on.
Don't go, please.
He's lost a lot of blood.
Alonso, please.
Listen to me, Alonso.
Listen to me.
We'll call our team Strength and Honor
like you wanted.
I'll embroider it on a ribbon for you.
I'll learn to embroider, I promise you,
but don't go.
And you'll be in command.
Do you hear?, you'll be in command.
Julián and I will be your soldiers.
I'll speak with Salvador.
Eh
What did you say?
Confessor.
(FALTERING BREATHS)
He's asking for a confessor.
You have to go.
Soon they'll send in the army.
Salvador knows that I won't negotiate
and I don't plan on dying here.
Where are you going?
-I have a pending matter.
Do you want me to accompany you?
-I'll go alone.
You'll have to finish the job.
The girls
Too?
-Them too.
And the mother.
They're not going to be any different from the
rest.
When you're done,
leave here to the mountains
A Carlist brigade
is camouflaged there, waiting for us.
Something wrong?
Look, Leiva,
you know that I would
follow you into hell,
But the idea
was to change the Ministry
and I'm not sure
that this isn't more than just
personal vengeance.
-Yes.
It's time for vengeance.
Do you have a problem?
Put yours on.
Not really 1844's style, is it?
No, neither is this.
But better to go protected.
Is it necessary?
I assure you that where we're going
they're not handing out candy.
Do we know anything about our team?
They've been taken prisoners.
If we don't hurry, they'll die.
Does Salvador know that?
No, Salvador sent the army.
but we'll get there first.
With the army not even
the lowest clerk will survive.
And with us?
There's a possibility
the clerk will live.
It's a question of finding Leiva.
He'll listen to me.
Are you sure about what we're doing?
We don't have another option.
There's still time to back out.
No damn way. They're my teammates.
I've already left them alone for too long.
Let's go.
(Door opening)
My god, what a bloodbath.
It's the Ministry's guards.
None of them are from our team.
No.
(Gun shots)
Automatic gun fire.
There weren't any in this time period.
They must be Leiva's men.
Fantastic.
Come on. This way.
(Gun shots)
What was that?
Stay calm. We're safe here.
(Bolt opening)
Over my dead body.
As you wish.
Do something!
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, Lord.
Yes, thank the Lord
and this very handsome man.
If we had to depend on you
Are you well?
Where are my teammates?
What teammates?
A group came before us.
They captured them.
Well if they're not dead,
they'll be in the cells.
He's dying.
(Gun shots)
And very possibly we are, too.
Amelia, Alonso!
It's them.
Julián, here!
Here! We're here!
Julián.
He's lost a lot of blood.
Lift up your skirt.
What?
I said lift up your skirt, quickly!
Did you come alone?
With Irene.
Where is she?
Looking for Leiva.
I couldn't stop her.
Can you save him?
I need to do a blood transfusion.
That works?
With a compatible donor, yes.
(COUGHS)
I want the name.
Don't move, Angustias.
-Leave him alone.
Think about old times.
Old times.
Old times.
All this has been for old times.
Angustias, II'd appreciate it if you
stopped talking
because we've already
got enough problems, huh?
God.
Who betrayed me?
Are you going to kill me?
-No.
I'm going to let you live for two reasons.
Because I owe you
and because I want you to live so you can see
how this Ministry crumbles.
Lookouts, one to the north, another to the east.
General, from here on the security
of the queen is in your hands.
And this Leiva?
We don't know.
Order your people
to comb the Ministry.
Maybe some of his men
are still hiding here.
Didn't you hear me?
Yes, but I am not accustomed
Well get accustomed
to receiving orders from a woman.
Starting with those from this young lady
that's coming now.
I'll inform Salvador.
Good.
Find whoever did all this.
and then close down this place.
-Why?
Why? This is an evil madness.
As you say.
-I am the queen.
Not my mother.
It might be best
if you escort them to the palace.
If you would be so kind
Have you spoken with Salvador?
He doesn't answer,
nor Angustias.
Surely Levia is there.
He's obsessed with finding out
who betrayed him.
Get up!
And find the file on my arrest.
It's just that, to access it
I need to type in the secret code.
Look, Angustias, let me be clear.
Find me the file,
or I'll kill you.
It doesn't have the name
of your informer?
I'm only the secretary.
There's another way to find out.
How?
Traitors always receive a reward.
Look up the promotions around
the date of my arrest.
Ernesto was promoted to your position.
No, Ernesto was already my enemy
by then
and only your friends betray you.
Keep looking.
There was only one other promotion.
It can't be.
(SALVADOR) Thank you, Angustias.
What happened with Queen Isabel?
-Saved. And the Ministry as well.
Thanks to Irene and Julián.
It was Leiva, right?
Yes.
He knows it was you.
He's looked up your address and
taken a copy of your file.
But I've already sent people to your house
and there's no one there, don't worry.
(Phone)
Nuria.
Don't even think about touching her, Leiva.
No.
I know where you are.
Tell me where he is.
I'm going to send the police.
This is a personal matter.
Nuria!
Irene!
Nuria, relax.
Relax. Nothing's going to happen.
How quickly you came.
You must care for her deeply.
Don't doubt it.
Then she should be careful,
because
you also cared deeply for me.
Do you remember?
Leiva, please.
Please what, Irene?
You don't have no right
to ask me for favors!
I stopped you from killing yourself
when you were an unhappy wife
and they wanted to fire you
from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
You were married?
-And look at how you've repaid me.
How can you say that you love her
if you haven't told her who you are?
Don't even think about getting out that gun
or I'll kill her.
-You have a gun?
Let her down
and take me in her place.
That is one possibility, yes.
But first
we're going to tell her
the whole truth about her wife.
No.
Like the year of your birth.
Come on, tell her.
No.
Tell her or I'll kill her.
What? Louder!
1930!
What nonsense it this?
She looks good, eh?
Nuria.
That is impossible.
-Yes,
as impossible
as your wife carrying a gun.
Your wife and I
travel in time, Nuria.
I I'm getting dizzy.
Please.
Please.
Why did you betray me, Irene?
You were going crazy
and it was going to cost a lot of lives.
Like it's costing them now.
I only wanted
to save my son's life.
I know,
and I supported you,
don't you remember?
But you lost control.
You aren't the Leiva that I knew.
That Leiva saved my life
and gave me everything.
He taught me that the most important thing
was to defend the Ministry.
I didn't betray you, Leiva
I did what you taught me
that I had to do.
I've spent these last years dreaming about
discovering who betrayed me
and taking my revenge.
Leiva, please.
Please.
Fine.
It's time to end this story.
Get down.
You ruined my life.
And I've just ruined yours.
We're even.
No.
No. ¡No!
¡No! ¡No!
Irene and Julián.
I could suspend them from their duties
for breaking the chain of command
except this time the chain of command
hasn't been up to the task.
Thank you.
And you, Alonso, how is it
that you aren't in the hospital?
I do not like hospitals, sir.
Eh. May I ask you a question?
Mmhm, of course.
I am alive
because someone gave their blood
so that it could run in my veins.
I would like to know who
to thank them.
You won't have to go far to do it.
Amelia?
Yes.
This is a jest.
In my veins runs the
blood of a woman?
And you're complaining?
Fine, fine, fine.
I'll leave you your debates.
The important thing is that you've saved
the Ministry, yes?
I don't believe we have saved it yet.
There is one important problem to
be solved.
You see, María Cristina of Borbon
and Two Sicilies
is very affected by what happened
and is pressuring her daughter to close
the Ministry immediately.
In other words,
like the song says,
"María Cristina
wants to rule us all".
Well, we are not going to
play along with her.
It's necessary to show these girls
the importance of the Ministry.
Look, I'll
I'll leave it in your hands, Ernesto.
No.
No, Salvador, hold on.
You'll see, I don't
I don't have any idea
how to deal with children.
-But we've all been children
at one point.
Try to remember.
We have to think of something that a
16th century girl would like
if she came to our time.
Stand down, recruit.
I could give you some tips, if you like.
"When you're ready, close your eyes.
Let's begin
now".
Is that your dinner?
My fridge is empty.
Well, I'm going to get sushi.
Nuria has gone
to her parent's house and
I'll pass on cooking.
Know what? When I was little my mom always said
that you can't survive
eating just one thing.
She was right.
Well it's a lie.
I've spent three years
living off frozen pizzas.
Everything alright with your girl?
I don't think she's going to get over
what happened.
I've lost her.
I'm sorry.
I'll live.
This is my life.
The job
will always save us, you know?
And you should take this lesson to heart.
Stop the madness
with Maite, Julián,
or you will lose the only thing you have left,
this Ministry.
Like me.
Well.
I'm leaving before
the Japanese place closes.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
(Footsteps leaving)
(Door closing)
Hello.
You're home already?
Of course, I'm sick. Remember?
Ah.
And you got the urge
to clean windows?
Well I feel a lot better.
Am I missing somethig?
You devil.
Me, why?
Dude, you could be an actor.
You're very good.
You're bonkers.
(LAUGHS)
You're bonkers!
No, no, no.
