Alatriste

en
00:00:15 In the 17th century,
00:00:19 Spain still dominated the world.
00:00:22 The king was Philip IV,
00:00:25 and his territories were ruled
00:00:28 the Count-duke of Olivares.
00:00:31 To Flanders, the Americas,
00:00:33 part of Italy
00:00:36 Portugal and its colonies
00:00:39 but it was in Flanders,
00:00:43 where the battle for the Empire's
00:00:46 An Empire sustained
00:00:50 whose main core were veterans
00:00:52 of the dreaded Spanish
00:00:56 This is the story
00:01:37 Flanders, winter, 1622
00:04:32 Here, Count!
00:04:38 Count, cover us!
00:05:07 Retreat!
00:05:44 Stay close to me, Count.
00:05:47 Hold on to my shirt.
00:07:34 Die, Catholic dog!
00:07:55 Damn.
00:08:00 Lope.
00:08:13 My son...
00:08:15 My son, Diego...
00:08:18 My son, Diego.
00:08:35 Don Diego Alatriste: In compliance
00:08:39 who died, may God rest his soul,
00:08:42 I send you my brother Inigo, whom
00:08:47 He knows mathematics,
00:08:50 is obedient and quick to learn,
00:08:52 though somewhat given
00:08:55 As you know, my father
00:08:57 to go to university,
00:09:01 I pray that God and Your Honour
00:09:04 Ana Balboa,
00:09:05 Onate, Guipuzcoa.
00:09:41 Which one's that?
00:09:42 "M".
00:09:55 You're glum today, don Francisco.
00:10:04 How fares your memorial?
00:10:07 I do believe Philip the Great
00:10:10 have wiped their arses on it.
00:10:14 That's still a great honour.
00:10:16 An honour for his royal arse.
00:10:19 It was good paper, costing
00:10:22 and in my best hand.
00:10:24 Rumour has it that Olivares
00:10:28 Yes.
00:10:30 He even gives me leave
00:10:33 He needs your verses.
00:10:36 Damn you, Captain!
00:10:39 You make a better friend
00:10:44 So they say.
00:10:47 Excuse me, senor de Quevedo.
00:10:49 My friends and I were wondering
00:10:59 "Here lies, in black tomb hemmed,
00:11:03 who sold his soul for profit vile
00:11:06 and e'en in death
00:11:11 "In black tomb hemmed..."
00:11:13 Might be improved if they were mine.
00:11:16 Of course, don Francisco.
00:11:19 In any case,
00:11:20 is Gongora so ruined that
00:11:24 Not that I know of.
00:11:25 I hear don Luis de Gongora
00:11:29 So good that he still writes
00:11:35 Don't waste your steel so early
00:11:39 And on such a trifle.
00:11:43 The merriment's over.
00:11:51 The cuckold constable.
00:11:53 Quiet,
00:11:55 or I'll kick your arse
00:12:13 Back to work.
00:12:26 Diego, I have work for you.
00:12:31 There's someone who needs you.
00:12:33 Safe work,
00:12:35 no risks involved,
00:12:37 save the usual ones, of course.
00:12:41 And for a good purse...
00:12:43 To share?
00:12:45 With whom?
00:13:23 Follow me.
00:13:46 Two foreign gentlemen.
00:13:49 They'll enter Madrid alone,
00:13:55 Payment for your services
00:13:57 will be 60 escudos in doubloons.
00:14:02 That suits me.
00:14:05 We are each
00:14:08 To be paid when the work
00:14:11 To whose satisfaction?
00:14:14 My sons,
00:14:16 I am Father Emilio Bocanegra,
00:14:18 President of the Council
00:14:23 The two heretics must die.
00:14:38 Mercy!
00:14:40 Mercy!
00:14:42 Mercy for my companion!
00:14:47 - Leave him!
00:14:52 None of this is clear.
00:14:57 They are not simple heretics.
00:15:00 We can kill them another day.
00:15:13 We shall meet again.
00:15:36 Diego, you are in a fine mess.
00:15:40 I imagine so.
00:15:43 The news will soon spread and
00:15:52 Now to the point.
00:15:55 Who commissioned you?
00:15:56 People.
00:15:57 Don't annoy me, Diego.
00:16:00 That's what I'd like to know,
00:16:02 I didn't see their faces.
00:16:04 And your companion in the ambush?
00:16:08 As Your Excellency knows,
00:16:11 Diego, this is not
00:16:15 Well, it's up to you.
00:16:18 It's your neck, not mine.
00:16:25 But, out of curiosity...
00:16:28 Do you know who
00:16:30 No, Count.
00:16:33 I believe you.
00:16:35 Then why didn't you kill them?
00:16:37 I had a presentiment.
00:16:40 Sir, matters of extreme gravity
00:16:44 The Prince of Wales
00:16:46 have entered Madrid incognito.
00:16:50 They wish to be received
00:16:53 They were almost
00:16:56 I have ordered an investigation
00:17:02 Sir, this unexpected visit
00:17:06 concerning the possible marriage
00:17:09 Princess Maria,
00:17:12 I have called the Council of State
00:17:15 and the Committee of Theologians
00:17:36 Thrust!
00:17:38 Go on!
00:17:39 You're not so good.
00:17:41 Come on, thrust!
00:17:56 What is it, Inigo? You look
00:17:59 No, no.
00:18:01 They say the English prince
00:18:05 Well.
00:18:08 Do they know who did this?
00:18:10 Thieves, they say.
00:18:12 People have
00:18:25 Go get some wine.
00:18:46 You brute.
00:18:48 Help me up.
00:18:54 I can't walk.
00:18:58 How shall I get home?
00:18:59 I'll carry you.
00:19:01 Am I very heavy?
00:19:03 No.
00:19:04 No.
00:19:06 What's your name?
00:19:08 Inigo Balboa.
00:19:09 Page to Captain Diego Alatriste.
00:19:13 I like soldiers.
00:19:15 My name's Angelica.
00:19:16 Will you remember?
00:19:18 Of course I'll remember.
00:19:20 I hope so.
00:19:22 You can put me down now.
00:19:40 I hope you know what you're doing.
00:19:42 I know, don't worry.
00:19:46 Dismiss those men.
00:19:50 Don't kill that Batriste...
00:19:54 - But, madam...
00:19:58 I need that captain to look
00:20:02 Then you can kill him.
00:20:11 Yes, Captain, 'tis a comedy.
00:20:13 Commissioned by Olivares
00:20:15 And don Rafael here
00:20:18 - A great honour.
00:20:21 or will it be on account
00:20:24 I know nothing of favours. Today is
00:20:28 For the present
00:20:32 A comedy...
00:20:34 Not your speciality.
00:20:36 - How dare you?
00:20:39 But if poor Cervantes tried one,
00:20:45 Don Francisco, my wife,
00:20:49 And Captain...
00:20:50 Alatriste.
00:20:53 Diego and I know each other.
00:20:57 What are you thinking?
00:20:59 I should stay away
00:21:09 Unless she's the most
00:21:25 I haven't seen this one before.
00:21:30 It's been a long time.
00:21:34 Almost three years.
00:21:36 I've missed you.
00:21:38 Not in Italy.
00:21:40 It came to a bad end.
00:21:44 I heard that.
00:21:46 You've changed, Diego.
00:21:50 Perhaps I'm getting old.
00:22:01 Or because of that boy
00:22:06 You know I like
00:22:08 He's the son of a friend
00:22:13 I promised to look after him.
00:22:16 And?
00:22:17 I'm afraid of bungling it, Maria.
00:22:20 Everything happens
00:22:23 You'll do it well.
00:22:26 You're a good man.
00:22:34 I wouldn't be so sure of that.
00:22:37 You have few dealings with people.
00:22:43 Maria, it's time!
00:22:46 Don't worry, keep going.
00:22:48 He's a reasonable man.
00:22:50 I earn him a lot of money.
00:22:54 Is it worthwhile?
00:22:56 I'm a practical woman.
00:22:59 I have to think of the future.
00:23:02 To hell with the future.
00:23:04 In the future we'll all be dead.
00:23:09 Diego Alatriste, I arrest you
00:23:22 Take his weapons.
00:23:42 Search him for hidden weapons.
00:24:08 Clean.
00:24:13 He's clean.
00:24:32 Kneel.
00:25:03 My son, you are a traitor
00:25:08 With your inopportune scruples
00:25:10 you have aided
00:25:13 Actions you will purge
00:25:17 But first you will pay, here
00:25:22 You have seen too much.
00:25:23 Heard too much.
00:25:25 You have strayed too far.
00:25:28 Your life, Captain,
00:25:31 You are a corpse
00:25:33 that, by some whim of fate,
00:25:35 still remains standing.
00:25:43 You may go.
00:25:47 Free?
00:25:51 In a manner of speaking.
00:25:53 God's wrath will know
00:26:46 Put that thing away.
00:26:48 It'll be of no use to you.
00:26:51 I haven't come to kill you
00:26:52 but to save you from others.
00:26:56 you were afraid of sheep.
00:26:57 Only when they come
00:27:06 Take this in case.
00:27:16 Strange shepherds.
00:27:20 No stranger than you.
00:27:24 Your attitude saddens me,
00:27:28 You Spaniards are
00:27:33 You lack finesse.
00:27:37 Perhaps that is why
00:27:40 for now.
00:27:45 We shall meet again.
00:27:49 I hope so.
00:27:50 I like you, Captain.
00:27:54 That is why I look forward
00:27:57 Whenever you please, senor...
00:27:59 Malatesta.
00:28:01 Gualterio Malatesta of Palermo.
00:28:06 If you please.
00:28:14 Ah, I almost forgot...
00:28:20 A memento,
00:28:22 to keep me forever
00:29:00 Well?
00:29:02 The idea was
00:29:04 A secretary of the king's had
00:29:12 I see.
00:29:15 I see.
00:29:17 What more?
00:29:19 One was a Flanders veteran,
00:29:22 a protégé of the Count of...
00:29:25 You may go.
00:29:36 This unites us forever.
00:29:38 Now you'll never be free of me.
00:30:00 I would die for you.
00:30:06 Some day you may.
00:30:13 Inigo.
00:30:16 You must be careful.
00:30:18 For a man, a woman's beauty
00:30:22 'Tis the law of life.
00:30:24 I don't know you.
00:30:25 You will.
00:30:29 I need a favour of you.
00:30:32 Look after the captain,
00:30:37 I should kill you now,
00:30:44 What do you think?
00:30:46 I bought it from a Sevillian
00:30:52 They say he can only paint heads
00:30:55 but I suspect he has talent.
00:30:59 Well...
00:31:01 Let's get down to business.
00:31:04 An important person
00:31:08 A serious matter?
00:31:10 It may be.
00:31:11 Well...
00:31:12 I've probably seen worse.
00:31:14 No.
00:31:17 You cannot fence
00:31:20 It is Count-duke Olivares.
00:31:22 Be more honest with him
00:31:26 I'll try to be.
00:31:27 You will be.
00:31:44 That water was cold
00:31:47 Yes...
00:31:50 But you never trembled.
00:31:53 I trembled inside, like everyone.
00:31:57 I'm not everyone.
00:31:59 I am a Spanish grandee.
00:32:00 In combat we are all equal.
00:32:03 You're wrong there, Alatriste.
00:32:05 are we all equal.
00:32:07 God didn't want it so.
00:32:14 If you're going to see Olivares,
00:32:18 Well...
00:32:21 I've spent more than enough
00:32:28 And don't forget the boots.
00:32:31 If you have no money,
00:32:37 Thank you.
00:33:34 "Captain" is a nickname,
00:33:36 Yes, Excellency.
00:33:38 I see you've served
00:33:43 and against the Turks
00:33:47 and on the Barbary coast.
00:33:52 A long life as a soldier.
00:33:54 Since I was thirteen, Excellency.
00:34:00 Is it true that you saved the life
00:34:04 when your companion
00:34:09 Excuse me, Excellency,
00:34:12 It would be best
00:34:16 As to who recruited you,
00:34:18 I'm afraid I can't.
00:34:20 I have a terrible memory.
00:34:23 I see...
00:34:26 Call don Luis de Alquezar.
00:34:41 It seems, don Luis, that
00:34:45 to teach two English gentlemen
00:34:48 As His Majesty's secretary
00:34:50 and a man acquainted
00:34:54 perhaps you have heard something?
00:34:56 I'm afraid I can be
00:35:01 Well, you must be.
00:35:04 Perhaps the church...
00:35:05 The church is broad.
00:35:09 Might you mean Father Bocanegra?
00:35:11 Excellency, I...
00:35:12 You are right, don Luis.
00:35:14 The good Father is a saintly man.
00:35:17 As we all know.
00:35:21 Tell me...
00:35:24 Are your boots a sign of lack
00:35:31 Both, Excellency.
00:35:35 As you see, don Luis,
00:35:37 senor Alatriste
00:35:41 But he also appears to be
00:35:44 brave, discreet
00:35:46 and trustworthy.
00:35:49 It would be a pity if some
00:35:53 I would not wish it so.
00:35:57 Of course, Excellency.
00:35:59 But with the kind of life
00:36:02 Batriste...
00:36:04 he must often
00:36:07 No-one could then
00:36:09 Naturally, don Luis.
00:36:11 In order to spare you any such
00:36:15 that henceforth
00:36:18 in the Indies.
00:36:20 Men like you are needed there.
00:36:23 You may begin preparations
00:36:35 As for you...
00:36:37 Your former general,
00:36:40 wishes to win more battles
00:36:43 It would be considerate of you
00:36:47 I'll bear that
00:37:19 Come with me.
00:37:21 For four long years
00:37:23 I've studied this map every night.
00:37:26 I know every port,
00:37:28 every canal, every estuary,
00:37:35 Flanders deprives me of my sleep.
00:37:40 Yet I've never been there.
00:37:55 It is the end of the world,
00:37:58 When the Lord God created Flanders,
00:38:03 A heretic sun
00:38:06 that neither warms you nor dries
00:38:11 It is a strange land,
00:38:15 inhabited by strange people
00:38:19 and will never give us peace.
00:38:25 It deprives one
00:38:30 Flanders is hell itself.
00:38:36 Without Flanders
00:38:39 We need that hell.
00:38:44 Breda, 1625. After one year's siege
00:39:10 They're close now, curse it!
00:39:12 They'll blow our balls off
00:39:20 Keep down!
00:39:23 Sons of bitches!
00:39:29 Did you find eggs?
00:39:31 Yes.
00:39:32 How many?
00:39:33 Two.
00:39:36 Wine.
00:39:50 Clumsy!
00:39:55 I hear you had
00:39:59 Yes.
00:40:02 And who wrote to you,
00:40:07 Angelica de Alquezar.
00:40:10 Alquezar...
00:40:13 A name that brings us bad luck.
00:40:16 I almost have him.
00:40:18 Give me that bread.
00:40:22 Do you have him or not, damn it!
00:40:25 Not now.
00:40:27 But he occasionally looks out.
00:40:29 I'll be ready the next time.
00:40:31 Shit!
00:40:34 Portuguese, see if
00:40:40 Dutchman!
00:40:52 Did you kill him?
00:40:54 One bastard less...
00:41:00 Another Dutchman
00:41:02 dead in mortal sin.
00:41:04 Like you when they kill you.
00:41:06 What did you say?
00:41:07 What did you say?
00:41:09 You can't fool me,
00:41:13 You Portuguese
00:41:16 Do you want to die?
00:41:20 The Captain!
00:41:23 I bring orders.
00:41:28 Perhaps these gentlemen
00:41:32 No-one has anything to say.
00:41:33 I do.
00:41:37 I have three things
00:41:39 to say to Captain Bragado.
00:41:43 First, I don't care who I fight.
00:41:46 Turks, Dutchmen
00:41:55 And the other two things?
00:41:56 Second, we haven't been given
00:42:01 I see.
00:42:02 And the third thing?
00:42:06 Third and most important of all...
00:42:12 Stay there.
00:42:17 Third, these gentlemen
00:42:20 have not received their pay
00:42:24 No-one has received their pay.
00:42:27 Neither you gentlemen nor I.
00:42:29 Nor the field marshal
00:42:37 I thought I was talking
00:42:41 Only soldiers of other nations
00:42:50 What are the orders?
00:42:52 You are to go down
00:45:48 Sulphur!
00:46:22 Copons is missing.
00:46:23 Sebastian!
00:46:25 One's enough.
00:46:27 Diego!
00:46:36 Breda has surrendered.
00:47:15 Spit it out.
00:47:17 Spit it out.
00:47:25 Breda has surrendered.
00:47:28 Any booty?
00:47:31 No.
00:47:50 MADRID, 10 YEARS LATER
00:48:21 Excellency.
00:48:22 Excellency.
00:48:25 I'm Inigo Balboa.
00:48:36 For Captain Alatriste.
00:48:37 Urgent.
00:48:50 Port Caleta, Cadiz.
00:48:58 Come on!
00:49:05 Mother!
00:49:06 What are you doing here?
00:49:09 My son, I have some bad news.
00:49:13 Bad news!
00:49:34 Look who's here.
00:49:44 I thought you were in Madrid.
00:49:46 I've a letter from the palace.
00:49:47 Work?
00:49:50 I suppose so.
00:49:52 If you need us,
00:49:58 Won't you open it?
00:50:00 What for? They always want us
00:50:08 How are you?
00:50:09 Worse.
00:50:15 You look well.
00:50:17 How are things at the court?
00:50:19 I can't complain.
00:50:21 How was the voyage?
00:50:22 Hectic. We ran into
00:50:27 you know I don't
00:50:29 I know.
00:50:32 Tell me,
00:50:34 what's happened in Madrid
00:50:37 There's to be war with France.
00:50:38 So they say.
00:50:40 Don Francisco's married a widow.
00:50:45 God, no!
00:50:47 And Velazquez's finished
00:50:50 Have you seen it?
00:50:52 He changed the flags for lances.
00:50:55 And well, softened
00:50:59 But it's a grand painting.
00:51:01 I'm sure.
00:51:05 Anything else?
00:51:08 Angelica de Alquezar
00:51:10 has returned to Spain.
00:51:36 There'll be killing
00:51:39 I only have two hands.
00:51:40 Four.
00:51:42 We'll see about that.
00:51:44 Why?
00:51:45 I said we'll see.
00:51:51 What's the work?
00:51:52 I'm just a go between.
00:51:56 But there'll be no lack of gold.
00:51:57 The commission is private
00:52:01 What an honour!
00:52:02 With such high-ranking
00:52:05 it must be that someone
00:52:08 You've been away too long, Captain.
00:52:11 Someone always steals
00:52:13 Yes.
00:52:27 We'll meet later.
00:52:29 Of course.
00:52:36 The ship is the "Virgen de Regla".
00:52:38 She has 2,000 ingots
00:52:43 Have they nothing
00:52:48 I find you rather naive
00:52:51 Bribes keep mouths shut
00:52:56 That includes
00:53:01 The plan is that
00:53:04 officially in Seville, the ship
00:53:06 will anchor offshore and the gold
00:53:10 the "Niklaasbergen".
00:53:16 And I suppose that for
00:53:20 the Flemish boat will have
00:53:23 What I like about you is that you
00:53:33 And once the gold's
00:53:38 where will it go?
00:53:43 I don't understand you.
00:53:47 I'm asking, Excellency,
00:53:50 if the gold will go for the work
00:53:53 or to pay the wages
00:53:56 or are to die in France.
00:54:01 You drink too much, Alatriste.
00:54:04 Words cost little.
00:54:07 What did you say to her?
00:54:09 How, Teodoro,
00:54:11 do men pay amorous
00:54:15 As if you were in love,
00:54:20 and hardly that.
00:54:22 Yes, but with what words?
00:54:24 Strangely do you press me,
00:54:28 "Those eyes," I said,
00:54:31 "those lovely orbs are the light
00:54:35 And, "The coral and pearls
00:54:38 Celestial?
00:54:40 Such things are the primer
00:54:44 Your taste is bad, Teodoro.
00:54:46 You disappoint me.
00:54:49 Marcela's good points
00:54:54 She is not clean in her person...
00:54:59 to stop loving her, though
00:55:02 But let's say no more
00:55:05 I want you to love and marry her.
00:55:08 Now, as you think yourself
00:55:12 And so possess Marcela.
00:55:14 Now that friend of mine
00:55:16 has no rest for she's in love
00:55:20 and 'twould be
00:55:23 Yet were she to lose him,
00:55:26 And he, unsuspecting
00:55:30 and treats her with deference.
00:55:41 Hello, lad.
00:55:43 You've grown.
00:55:45 You're a man.
00:55:47 I thought you dead.
00:55:49 Maybe I am.
00:55:52 That wouldn't surprise me.
00:55:56 We'll meet again, I imagine.
00:55:59 Count on it.
00:56:01 Then we'll see
00:56:05 or dead.
00:56:12 Would it not be best
00:56:14 to have him killed?
00:56:23 It's been a long time.
00:56:29 Very long.
00:56:37 What have you been doing
00:56:39 Killing heretics
00:56:42 and writing verses.
00:56:46 And are those verses
00:56:50 No, I don't think so.
00:56:53 But it was the only way
00:56:57 I see you still know
00:57:03 I thought I'd never see you again.
00:57:09 They say you're still
00:57:12 Of course.
00:57:19 I have plans for you, Inigo.
00:57:22 The trouble is...
00:57:25 that I also have plans for you.
00:57:38 Teodoro,
00:57:39 you're leaving.
00:57:41 And I love you.
00:57:43 I leave because of your cruel ways.
00:57:45 You know me,
00:57:47 - Do you weep?
00:57:50 There's something in my eye.
00:57:52 Is it love?
00:57:53 Yes, it must be.
00:57:55 It's been there some time
00:57:58 I leave, my lady,
00:58:01 I must leave without it.
00:58:03 no wrong loving you, for your beauty
00:58:07 Command me, for I am yours.
00:58:09 - What a sad day!
00:58:12 but my soul does not.
00:58:14 Do you weep?
00:58:15 No, there's something in my eye,
00:58:17 as was in yours.
00:58:18 My tears brought yours on.
00:58:20 That must be the case.
00:58:23 A thousand childish things
00:58:27 Forgive me, I had to.
00:58:29 If you open it,
00:58:31 be sure to say, as if they were
00:58:35 "Diana put those there
00:58:37 with tears in her eyes."
00:58:41 Did you like the play?
00:58:43 You were marvellous.
00:58:50 Have you seen
00:58:55 He'll expect
00:58:56 Don't talk of your king like that.
00:58:58 Yes,
00:59:00 he's my king.
00:59:03 But there are kings and kings
00:59:09 One day they'll kill you, my love.
00:59:11 Maybe.
00:59:19 My husband's dying.
00:59:26 I'm sorry.
00:59:28 Yes, poor thing.
00:59:29 And when he dies,
00:59:32 I don't like living on my own.
00:59:35 I was thinking
00:59:38 that as you were
00:59:41 Maria, I'm dirt-poor.
00:59:45 I'll provide the money
00:59:52 And your...
00:59:55 admirers?
00:59:58 Diego, I'm an actress
01:00:01 Spain's full of young girls
01:00:04 I need friends who'll protect me.
01:00:07 If we married,
01:00:09 I'd kill the first man
01:00:18 I'd end up on the gallows
01:00:23 Don't be old-fashioned.
01:00:27 Anyway, what would you care?
01:00:29 You're not in love with me.
01:01:07 What do you know?
01:01:27 Make way!
01:01:40 "Thus on this day,
01:01:42 this sentence is read
01:01:44 and tomorrow he will be taken
01:01:47 to the plaza de San Francisco,
01:01:50 where a gallows will be
01:01:53 and there he shall be hanged
01:01:58 This justice do I order done."
01:02:00 Signed by the king, our lord.
01:02:15 Do you need something?
01:02:17 Your advice.
01:02:41 I need men for a job.
01:02:43 Brave men and discreet.
01:02:46 All those here present are.
01:02:48 You can trust them all.
01:02:51 Trouble is, most of them
01:02:57 I can get them all released.
01:03:00 Except you.
01:03:02 I'm sorry.
01:03:08 A pity.
01:03:16 Well...
01:03:18 Death's but a formality.
01:04:04 I have things to do.
01:04:06 I'll see you on the beach.
01:04:07 I'm not going.
01:04:10 Why not?
01:04:11 The Inquisition's after me.
01:04:16 They've already arrested
01:04:22 The torture...
01:04:24 I can't take it...
01:04:25 They've nothing on you.
01:04:28 You were a soldier
01:04:33 Luis Pereira, I arrest you
01:04:46 God's will is done.
01:04:49 God has nothing to do with this.
01:04:53 Nothing!
01:05:18 You're late.
01:05:20 A matter detained me.
01:05:25 A matter of blood?
01:05:30 What did you want to tell me?
01:05:34 You seem in a hurry.
01:05:37 Perhaps my company discomforts you.
01:05:39 No, I have some business
01:05:45 You should know that you have
01:05:49 Friends who are enemies
01:05:52 Captain Alatriste
01:05:55 is my business.
01:05:58 Mine alone.
01:06:05 Stay with me.
01:06:07 I cannot.
01:06:11 You must not go
01:06:15 Mustn't I?
01:06:17 Tell me why not.
01:06:19 Because I cannot marry a corpse.
01:06:25 This group will go first
01:06:29 And the leaders?
01:06:31 Sebastian will board
01:06:34 That's good with me.
01:06:35 Glad to hear it.
01:06:37 No prisoners are to be taken.
01:06:40 There will be no plunder.
01:06:42 And no-one...
01:06:44 under any circumstance,
01:06:48 Good luck.
01:07:37 Ambush!
01:07:40 Take cover!
01:10:04 Shit!
01:10:06 Shit!
01:10:26 I'm late. Sorry.
01:10:36 Diego...
01:10:37 We're fools.
01:10:52 Mother of God!
01:11:09 Diego.
01:11:20 It cannot be.
01:11:24 And you?
01:11:27 No.
01:11:39 A pity.
01:11:41 Yes.
01:11:55 I had to try.
01:11:59 You know that, don't you?
01:12:01 Yes, I know.
01:12:17 We all love once.
01:12:19 Or several times.
01:12:22 Then one day it stops happening.
01:12:24 And that's all.
01:12:26 As simple as that?
01:12:31 As difficult as that.
01:12:38 Look, Inigo...
01:12:40 She's true to her own kind.
01:12:42 And I to mine.
01:12:43 Really?
01:12:44 Tell me about it.
01:12:47 Angelica de Alquezar
01:12:51 All right.
01:12:54 Sit down.
01:12:59 They wouldn't allow it,
01:13:03 She has her obligations.
01:13:05 What do you mean by that?
01:13:07 That I too have mine?
01:13:10 God! There are rules.
01:13:12 What rules?
01:13:14 Those of a captain
01:13:16 Or those of a sword-for-hire
01:13:40 I expect we'll meet in Madrid.
01:13:59 Well, well.
01:14:03 If it isn't Captain Alatriste!
01:14:06 I see your acts of charity
01:14:09 extend to visiting the sick.
01:14:12 I'm a good Catholic.
01:14:14 Have you come to kill me?
01:14:17 Or do you wait for the consequences
01:14:20 to catch up with you?
01:14:23 There's no need
01:14:25 I know full well
01:14:34 Then...
01:14:36 let us proceed.
01:14:45 I'd greatly appreciate your trying
01:14:58 Not a chance.
01:15:00 Can you really
01:15:03 Come, Captain.
01:15:06 You sound like a nun of St. Clare.
01:15:09 Don't let your conscience
01:15:15 You're right.
01:15:22 Say your prayers.
01:15:25 I never waste my time
01:15:29 Go ahead.
01:16:11 Good day to your worship.
01:16:55 His Majesty wishes you
01:17:04 Must I wait all day?
01:17:32 Why are you dressed as a man?
01:17:34 That's prohibited.
01:17:38 Would you have me come out at night
01:17:45 Do you still feel
01:17:48 I may have saved your life.
01:17:50 While I betrayed
01:17:54 I also lost some who were
01:17:58 It's not the same, Angelica.
01:18:01 No.
01:18:04 But I'm sure you didn't call me
01:18:11 The other day,
01:18:13 - you said...
01:18:15 And I maintain it.
01:18:17 But you'll agree that
01:18:21 I know.
01:18:24 I expect you know
01:18:28 and that she is fond of me.
01:18:29 What is your point?
01:18:31 There is a vacancy for second
01:18:35 I'll join the Royal Guard
00:00:05 What is now for?
00:00:08 Now is the time
00:00:11 You free from your obligations,
00:00:14 There is a place where we can go.
00:00:18 Tomorrow a galleon
00:00:21 It will take passengers.
00:00:23 Don't do that.
00:00:25 I've spoken to the queen
00:00:29 In 2 to 3 years
00:00:31 We'd never have
00:00:53 Naples?
00:00:56 Yes.
00:00:57 Together.
00:01:11 Inigo, you must take that vacancy.
00:01:19 No.
00:01:24 Then there's no more to be said.
00:01:27 From this moment on,
00:01:50 God! It's cold as a Lutheran!
00:01:54 Yes, it is.
00:01:58 Look what we've become, Captain.
00:02:01 Now a country of beggars,
00:02:05 I curse the day I placed my pen
00:02:09 that tyrant and descendant of
00:02:13 Calm down.
00:02:14 Calm down, you say?
00:02:17 Haven't you heard
00:02:20 While Cardinal Richelieu
00:02:24 Olivares has turned ours into
00:02:28 while he robs the poor
00:02:31 Come now, don Francisco.
00:02:34 Our infantry need money,
00:02:37 The money those "humiliated" nobles
00:02:44 And as for the poor,
00:02:47 In Spain, poverty
00:02:50 whoever governs, whether
00:02:53 So now you support Olivares?
00:02:58 Come, don Francisco.
00:03:01 We've known each other
00:03:06 Yes, that's true.
00:03:09 My apologies, Captain.
00:03:11 You know I did not mean it.
00:03:15 Yes, I know.
00:03:19 Take my arm,
00:03:29 Any news of Inigo?
00:03:31 Yes.
00:03:33 But you won't like it.
00:04:54 This is a very valuable piece.
00:04:58 Pure Indies gold.
00:05:01 Rest assured,
00:05:04 I believe you but even so...
00:05:05 I don't want you to buy it,
00:05:10 You could exchange this chain
00:05:15 Maybe so, but I only need one.
00:05:20 You'll lose in the exchange.
00:05:22 That's my business.
00:05:26 A necklace for a lady...
00:05:28 That's right.
00:05:30 The lady in question must be...
00:05:32 truly beautiful.
00:05:35 You are right.
00:05:36 So much the better.
00:05:42 I would not abuse your trust...
00:05:44 but would I be
00:05:47 that with this gift
00:05:48 Your Worship is thinking of,
00:05:52 a future with this lovely lady?
00:05:55 No.
00:05:57 You would not be mistaken.
00:06:07 Then it can only be this one.
00:06:32 Good morning, Diego.
00:06:37 Can we talk?
00:06:42 We can.
00:06:46 I am charged to give you a warning.
00:06:49 Well, here I am.
00:06:53 You must change mares, Diego.
00:06:57 By whom?
00:06:58 I cannot tell you.
00:06:59 - By whom?
00:07:01 I said by whom!
00:07:02 I cannot tell you, Diego.
00:07:36 I beg you not to proceed.
00:07:38 Who says so?
00:07:40 One who can.
00:07:44 I would not argue with
00:07:50 She cannot and will not see you.
00:07:52 That's for me to confirm.
00:07:58 Would you ruin
00:08:03 Her occupation matters not.
00:08:12 You'll have to kill me first.
00:08:16 Move aside,
00:08:19 or I shall.
00:09:08 Alba, Varela, Sessa
00:09:11 Even Guadalmedina
00:09:13 Olivares' time has come.
00:09:17 You must stay away
00:09:21 Donate 100,000 ducats
00:09:24 That will satisfy the king
00:09:27 who by now must
00:09:30 Prudence is now the best policy.
00:09:32 The count-duke could crush us
00:09:35 and no-one would lift
00:09:37 Not even the queen.
00:09:40 You are not a Grandee.
00:09:43 But you will be one soon.
00:09:45 As will your children
00:09:48 The queen wishes you
00:09:58 Inigo, I must inform you
00:10:02 The queen and my uncle want me
00:10:05 My heart is yours alone. Should you
00:10:09 come to my house tonight.
00:10:13 Obviously,
00:10:16 you are not dead to me.
00:10:19 Inigo, I'm afraid.
00:10:23 If we don't run away now,
00:10:28 We'll go to a place
00:10:32 A place where we'll be nothing.
00:10:35 No-one.
00:10:38 Just you and I.
00:10:52 We would live in sin.
00:10:55 There is no sin, Angelica.
00:10:59 There has never been any.
00:11:02 It is they who are sin.
00:11:19 She's only a woman, Captain.
00:11:23 I'm not doing this
00:11:26 The king is the king...
00:11:27 The king is a son of a bitch.
00:11:32 You should leave Madrid.
00:11:34 Kings are vindictive,
00:11:37 Guadalmedina is a Grandee
00:11:39 and you've crossed swords
00:11:41 Tomorrow I'll make my apologies.
00:11:45 Even if he did,
00:11:47 you should leave Madrid.
00:11:48 And you too.
00:11:51 There are certain rumours...
00:11:54 Yes, 'tis true.
00:11:57 I have recently written verses
00:12:03 But I'm too old to hide,
00:12:10 Good luck, Captain.
00:12:14 And to you.
00:12:23 Diego,
00:12:25 I'm a man of few words.
00:12:28 Yes.
00:12:30 I'm going home.
00:12:32 With what I've saved I want
00:12:37 Come with me if you like.
00:12:39 That was more than a few words.
00:12:49 O Catholic, holy
00:12:52 made by God a deity on earth,
00:12:55 a simple, poor, honest old man
00:12:58 pleads, prostrate,
00:13:01 I needs must speak
00:13:04 that my zeal
00:13:07 A minister you have
00:13:09 whose only wish
00:13:12 Sire.
00:13:14 Behold, Philip IV,
00:13:18 open thy generous heart
00:13:21 From him who never tires
00:13:24 who devalues our coin, who sells thy
00:13:30 deliver us!
00:13:33 Deliver us, Sire,
00:13:35 Amen.
00:13:37 Amen.
00:13:39 Amen.
00:13:58 But you will be
00:14:02 and your children...
00:14:04 and your children's children.
00:14:19 Your children...
00:14:25 and your children's children...
00:15:20 Diego...
00:15:25 Don Francisco
00:15:31 The Prison of San Marcos.
00:15:39 Then it's all over.
00:15:42 We should have kept
00:15:49 Maybe.
00:15:51 I presume you gentlemen
00:15:52 are familiar
00:15:57 Then there's no need to say that
00:16:02 Very well, then.
00:16:04 This is the situation...
00:16:06 Senor Balboa owes 200 ducats
00:16:10 He also says
00:16:15 However, I've heard
00:16:17 would care if he lost his life.
00:16:19 Yes, I would care.
00:16:21 Then we all win.
00:16:25 in spite of himself,
00:16:27 will keep his life
00:16:28 and we shall recover our money,
00:16:32 pay the debt.
00:16:36 Is that possible?
00:16:44 It is possible.
00:16:50 We're no experts in jewels.
00:16:53 We only accept coin.
00:17:04 Like this?
00:17:13 Sebastian...
00:17:17 What?
00:17:29 Diego, I owe you an explanation.
00:17:33 Meet me at the cloister
00:17:44 You're under arrest, Diego!
00:18:04 Disarm him.
00:18:08 Surrender or I'll kill you.
00:18:15 One question, Martin.
00:18:17 With whose rod of office
00:18:22 What?
00:18:26 Cuckold!
00:19:17 Martin...
00:19:17 So good to see you
00:19:22 It's been some time.
00:19:26 Yes, and the whore
00:20:44 Enough merriment.
00:20:54 Diego.
00:20:58 Are you alive?
00:21:05 I think so.
00:21:13 Don't cough, you bastard,
00:21:16 or you'll bleed to death.
00:21:21 You didn't mean it, did you?
00:21:25 What?
00:21:26 What you said.
00:21:29 About me being a cuckold.
00:21:30 Of course I didn't.
00:21:33 I said it to annoy you.
00:21:35 You know me.
00:21:37 It's always the same...
00:21:41 Fuck!
00:21:47 I'm dying.
00:21:50 Martin.
00:21:53 Have you ever stopped to consider
00:21:57 that we always end up
00:22:16 Shit life.
00:22:43 Diego, they forced me to do it.
00:22:49 They forced me to do it.
00:23:24 I've been expecting you, lad.
00:23:26 Let's go.
00:23:30 Just a moment.
00:23:35 If you'll be so kind...
00:24:05 Will you be back for supper?
00:24:11 I don't know.
00:25:17 You know there's
00:25:20 Yes.
00:25:22 There's the rub.
00:26:05 As you can imagine, don Luis,
00:26:07 my services to the king
00:26:11 Excellency, everyone
00:26:15 to upholding the reputation
00:26:18 and defending the true faith.
00:26:21 that my niece's dowry shall be
00:26:26 As you will see, Your Excellency,
00:26:29 the silver mines in Tasco,
00:26:42 Excellency, regarding
00:26:49 Excellency...
00:26:53 No.
00:26:56 I don't want him to die.
00:26:59 If you'll allow me, Excellency,
00:27:02 I have an idea.
00:27:04 "Spain did kill and imprison
00:27:07 him who made a slave of fortune.
00:27:12 They mourned his envies,
00:27:14 foreign nations with our own.
00:27:17 His grave, the campaigns in Flanders
00:27:21 and his epitaph,
00:27:28 "And his epitaph,
00:27:32 They say the prison of San Marcos
00:27:36 Yes, that's what they say.
00:27:47 Do you remember me?
00:27:49 Yes.
00:27:55 Senor Malatesta said that were he to
00:28:09 He also said you could keep me
00:28:18 Thank you.
00:28:21 That's not necessary.
00:28:23 As you wish.
00:28:29 It was pleasant
00:28:37 And you.
00:29:11 Madrid. Syphilitics hospital
00:30:02 Diego, what are you doing here?
00:30:05 I wanted to see you.
00:32:47 I should have married you.
00:33:28 What's going on?
00:33:30 He's under arrest
00:33:32 What's he accused of?
00:33:34 Of spying for France.
00:34:05 You cannot enter.
00:34:08 I come to see the countess.
00:34:21 What are you doing here?
00:34:23 I come to ask a favour of you.
00:34:29 I need you to give this letter
00:34:34 I tried to take it to him but they
00:34:41 It's about Inigo.
00:34:45 He's been on
00:34:58 Thank you, Excellency.
00:35:04 Don't call me "Excellency".
00:35:07 I hate it.
00:35:11 Inigo always called me Angelica.
00:35:19 Don't weep, madam.
00:35:22 Excellency, don't weep.
00:35:26 Inigo is strong.
00:35:29 He'll survive.
00:35:33 I must weep, Captain.
00:35:37 Betrayal is a stain
00:35:42 Judas hanged himself
00:35:46 That is why I weep.
00:35:55 I'll give the letter
00:36:01 The honour and reputation
00:36:06 The Lord God
00:36:09 has forsaken us.
00:36:11 Excellency...
00:36:12 There's no other explanation.
00:36:15 All is misfortune.
00:36:19 Casale should have been taken,
00:36:21 Turin saved, Arras relieved,
00:36:25 should never have rebelled
00:36:30 This is the most wretched year
00:36:34 Excellency,
00:36:36 Yes.
00:36:38 The letter.
00:36:40 The letter.
00:36:42 I've read it.
00:36:45 But the evidence was conclusive.
00:36:48 The young man was a French spy.
00:36:50 Excellency...
00:36:51 But all is not lost.
00:36:54 Richelieu is ill
00:36:56 and the Dutch want peace.
00:36:59 If the Cardinal Infante's troops...
00:37:01 He's the orphaned son of one
00:37:05 I've said all
00:37:10 You may go.
00:37:15 "Letter to the Cardinal Infante..."
00:37:17 Excellency...
00:37:19 "Sir...
00:37:22 Letters from Flanders..."
00:37:23 Excellency!
00:37:29 Look me in the eye.
00:38:20 Inigo Balboa.
00:38:22 The king has pardoned you.
00:39:44 Let's go home, son.
00:40:14 ROCROI, MAY, 1643
00:40:28 THE CARTAGENA INFANTRY REGIMENT
00:41:01 Fire!
00:41:04 Take aim!
00:41:06 Fire!
00:41:20 Fire!
00:41:36 Spain!
00:42:22 Pikes!
00:45:43 Don't you write any more?
00:45:46 No, not any more.
00:45:50 This writing thing...
00:45:51 you never forget how?
00:45:54 No.
00:45:56 No.
00:46:09 Soldier.
00:46:14 Sir.
00:46:16 You are?
00:46:18 Alatriste, Excellency.
00:46:21 I remember.
00:46:23 Didn't I reward you
00:46:27 for saving a sergeant major
00:46:29 They lowered it to four,
00:46:32 Well, well...
00:46:34 Bad luck, soldier.
00:46:37 Yes, bad luck, Excellency.
00:47:01 Bragado!
00:47:18 Diego...
00:47:19 If I can't, you go on.
00:47:45 Gentlemen.
00:47:49 The Duke of Enghien
00:47:51 considers that you have fought
00:47:56 Therefore
00:47:58 he offers you
00:48:01 You may keep
00:48:03 your flags
00:48:05 and leave the field
00:48:08 in formation.
00:48:10 What say you?
00:48:31 Tell the lord duke of Enghien
00:48:38 but this is
00:48:52 Diego...
00:48:58 This is as far as I can go.
00:49:34 Inigo.
00:49:38 Tell them of our exploits.
00:50:48 Veterans, to vanguard!
00:50:53 New soldiers, to rearguard!
00:52:26 He was not the most honest man nor
00:52:31 His name was Diego Alatriste
00:52:32 and he had fought with
00:52:36 When I met him, he was surviving
00:52:41 often renting his sword
00:52:44 who lacked
