This, you lunga and cuba.
Saint Vangole!
bye, mom, what's pa' tell me!
st. Vangole!
to never thumped again!
Saint Vangole!
I don't even know if I've been there every month.
who scared you?
I have betapa.
what?
And and
Slow down, girl.
- They want to fuck. - Look at them.
Get up from there.
I want to see you in the church praying a rosary for each one of you
and repenting.
We need to know more about your light.
Leibniz's Theodicia?
The one published in Paris.
With all its evils, this world created by God
is the best of all possible worlds.
Evil doesn't come from God, it comes from his absence.
or from our free will, as Leibniz said?
Evil is not questioned by reason, but by faith.
It's still forbidden, isn't it?
I was planning to keep it in the secret chapter, Your Excellency.
Father Anselmo says there were three bites in the market,
and one of them is the daughter of the Marquis Casalduero.
I want you to go and see him and confirm how the girl is.
Father, I don't have time to--
- It's a delicate matter. - Go today.
Anger is one of the devil's many tricks.
are you still fasting?
I'll wait for you to eat.
The girl was bitten by a dog.
The dog was rabid. and
when did you get so interested?
- I had a visit from a priest at the bishopric. - and what did you tell him?
I told him she was perfectly healthy. I thought it was a mistake.
You'll have to go and see him yourself.
Or they're going to fill this house with exorcism.
If she gets the evil, she'll die.
Saint Pangole.
I'm taking you to Seville, across the sea.
In spring.
what's on the other side?
The world.
ah!
Even though the objects are
painful to look at, we...
We delight in looking at their most realistic representations.
In art, for example, the shapes...
For example, the shapes of the most repulsive animals...
When you read it that way, Aristotle loses all clarity.
what are you thinking?
It must be the embarrassment.
I'm sure it's more than the embarrassment. what are you thinking about?
The child. I dreamt of her.
But you told me the marquis wouldn't let you see her.
It's true, I didn't. then how do you know it was her?
Because in the dream she had a very long hair, over a meter long.
Red.
That family has been away from us for a long time.
Now they'll need us. Tell the Marquis to come to see me.
You're going to read more, aren't you?
Get dressed. The doctor is here.
God forbid.
It's not for you. It's for the child.
It won't do you any good.
There's nothing there.
Gama is her breeding mother.
She's already dead. what are you going to hang yourself with?
Your mom will take care of him.
Wine, wine.
The red eye. And the molecule alone.
Look.
There's no cure for rabies sickness.
It's too early to tell if there will be or not, Your Honor.
We must wait. Lay down plenty of water and keep her warm.
In case the girl shows symptoms, you must take her to the island.
They'll know how to handle her.
what is it?
That's the arrabiado one.
Don't go near him.
The most merciful thing would be to kill him.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen. Hail Mary.
Come in, Ignacio. This is your home.
We know you need God and you're pretending to be distracted.
I wanted to deal with my misfortune alone.
It's a secret that your poor girl is infested.
do you know who Abrenuncium is?
- The doctor who saw the child. - I wanted to hear it from your own voice.
Your Honor, the man was expelled from the peninsula.
He uses cures of niggers and Indians. He gives himself an assertion to foresee death.
He was charged by the Holy Office. For predicting the death of a sick man.
For bringing him back to life.
Then the sick man testified that at no point had he lost consciousness.
That's what saved him from the bonfire.
Now, the ad may be a blabbermouth, but...
In all humility. I think it leads to heresy that there's a...
Among the devil's many artifacts, it is not uncommon to assume the appearance
of a vile disease and slip into an innocent body.
Fortunately, though your child's body is irretrievable...
God has given us the means to save her soul.
Don't Don't
I've brought my daughter by order of Bishop Don Toribio de Cáceres y Virtudes.
She won't need anything.
- But her hair needs a haircut. - It's an order to the Blessed Virgin.
Until the day she marries.
Excuse me, Mother. The Marquis of Casalduero brought his daughter.
She's possessed, Mother. what are you saying?
It's an order from the bishop.
who do you think you are to come here and give orders?
let me go!
Take over the case.
You didn't answer my question. I thought I said it in my sleep.
I'll repeat it when I'm awake. I entrust the girl's health to you.
what are you saying?
I'm not an exorcist, Father.
I don't have the character, the training or the library of the Vatican.
I've been preparing for that.
Garcilaso. Garcilaso.
You only mention God once or twice in all your work.
A little more.
But it was not uncommon in Catholic bonds of the Renaissance.
The case of the well-behaved child may be the impetus we're missing to nominate you.
what is it?
what's wrong?
It's serving.
do you know why they brought you here?
what?
how much longer were they going to wait to come here?
what cock-a-doodle-doo?
There are six of them, but now they're singing how I feel.
Everything's been wrong around here ever since that little devil showed up.
Sometimes we attribute things we don't understand to the demon
without thinking they could be God's.
In any case, we didn't say the girl was possessed.
We just have reason to assume it.
It's not there.
- She killed two of her classmates. - how long has she been there?
Years.
Poor
creature.
Even if she wasn't possessed by any demon,
she has the most auspicious atmosphere here.
Honor we don't deserve.
She alone creates scruples every time she's released.
The war is not on her, but on the demons that inhabit her.
Blood.
Don't be hasty.
Nothing is more useful than a doubt in time. Read St. Augustine.
- I read it very well. - Please leave us alone.
- At your own risk. - The bishop is the highest hierarchy.
I know very well that you are the masters of God.
When you want to leave, ring the door. Sister Agueda will open it.
We didn't bring you here to martyr you.
We suspect that a demon entered your body to steal your soul.
- I'm here to establish if that's true. - With your help.
You get visitors, I never do.
- I have the devil in me. - There is no devil.
- There's no God. - What you see is all there is.
- You look like the wet one. - the what? the wet one.
A witch that's white like this.
She steals children. And her legs are on backwards.
how do you get out of your cell?
Bathroom.
- Start with three little chains. - Here.
You're right. It's vile.
stay!
stay, doe!
and that's where he gets it!
stay!
come here!
It's been three days and the lady doesn't even drink water.
It needs salt.
I'm afraid for her. You speak, sir.
when is the girl coming, sir?
You can't be at peace in this house.
hm?
I took her.
I'll have to inform the Abbess.
I'll ask them not to tie you up.
what happened to her?
I was bitten by a rabid dog with a three-foot tail.
Let's see.
I'm as bad as the plague.
God is great. Even the animals feel it.
are you still thinking about the girl?
I was thinking that people can connect their ills to this eclipse.
And with good reason.
This eclipse was calculated millennia ago by Assyrian astronomers.
That's a Jesuit's answer.
you know what happens when we die?
- We're reborn as an animal. - No, no, no.
We cease to exist.
- But the dead remain with one. - Don't go.
With all due respect, Father.
I don't think that creature is possessed. why do you say that?
I think we made a big mistake. She's just a scared little girl.
We have evidence in abundance. or don't you read the minutes?
They are more useful to know the mindset of the Abbess.
Whether animals weep at night, or sisters
see night apparitions.
She attributes so many powers to the forces of evil,
that she seems more devout to the devil.
Careful, Cayetano. Don't make unholy accusations.
It's just that we were wrong.
It's a mistake. And it's a mistake for me to be in charge.
Get a grip, son.
- Downshift. - Father, she can't see.
What we think is demonic are the customs she learned
from the Negroes who raised her.
Negroes love demons.
Her fever's gone. And her foot wound is completely healed.
The demon has more use for our intelligence
than he will ever return from our herbs.
For the best gift to him would be if we exorcised a healthy creature.
am i to understand that you are in defiance?
I am to understand that I stand by my doubts.
My father, but I obey in all humility.
what is it?
I keep seeing the eclipse.
aren't you going to take care of me?
- I'm going to die. - I'm going to die, sorry.
You can't die.
- I'm here. - The cold makes me feel better.
They won't give the girl back. They won't even let me see her.
- They're going to kill her there. - Help me get her out.
Do whatever you want for me.
I'm already dead.
who did i write to?
The bishop.
He won't listen to us. We have to go to the viceroys.
The one who keeps up with the news here is Father Cayetano.
Your Excellency.
I understand you're also responsible for the daughter's soul
of the Marquis of Casalduero's daughter.
Yes, that's right, Your Honor.
The viceroy was deeply moved.
what should we do?
We still lack proof.
The priory charter clearly tells us that this poor creature
is possessed by the devil.
This way, Your Excellency.
The girl's parents' concerns are more of a practical nature.
To be honest, the conditions in the cells aren't the best.
Perhaps in her own home, they had better resources to treat her.
Your Excellency, we chose the Santa Clara out of the fortitude and authority
of Abbess Josefa Miranda.
Well, she thinks you've fallen into Satan's trap.
Not just us, all of Spain.
We crossed the ocean to enforce Christ's law.
and what have we accomplished?
Indians go to mass only because beneath the altars are their pagan shrines.
More than half the inhabitants of this harbor are black, heretics and seditious.
Others live as fleeing in the bush as savages, laying siege to us.
Your lordship's disenchantment with me is of the gravest importance.
I want to make clear the forces of faith required in these lands.
There's no need, Your Majesty.
Come.
My father, I've come to ask you to relieve me of my post.
We now have the eyes of the crown on this matter.
And it had to be avoided at all costs.
Perhaps if we treat her in her own home.
I want her to stay at St. Clare's Convent and in your charge.
But make sure the girl participates in the community's general advantages.
She'll be treated better.
We're so far away.
will you go with me to the other side?
aren't you scared?
No, I'm not.
I saw her in a dream.
I was in the cistern and accidentally threw the wake into the water.
The background lit up beautifully.
But the water was very cold. Dark.
I felt scared
Then I heard someone coming. It was you.
you know?
The viceroy sent me to paint.
And she says she's going to take me with her to Santa Fe, Bogotá.
- A very good day to you, Marquis. - Oh, it's you.
are you the girl?
She's fine. But...
I want to help her get better.
Oh, don't be scared. It's the mosquitoes that...
They eat me alive day and night.
I renuncio, you said Sirva María didn't have the symptoms of rabies.
He'd know how to explain it. He's a great man.
Bring her back.
Take her.
At least she'll know what's on my mind.
- Put this on. - Thank you.
Voltaire in Latin is almost heresy.
you speak french?
No, he doesn't, but I read it.
Greek, English, Italian, a little German.
I ask him because Voltaire is a perfect prose.
Let me see. what are you doing?
A little Visine.
The only thing wrong with your eye is that it sees more than it should.
It would be my duty to report you to the Holy Office.
If it was about banned books, you'd have been here a long time ago.
And I wouldn't have opened the door for you.
They attribute a satanic burden to the African languages you speak.
The charter distorts everything.
Now there's no one who dares to contradict it.
I don't think the girl is contracting rabies at this point.
But neither her criteria nor mine will convince anyone.
Least of all the two of us together.
I don't know why I'm here.
Maybe you're just here because you needed to talk about her.
That creature is a test given to me by the Holy Spirit.
This is not the time, Father. Order, Bishop.
At this hour, only the Abbess has the keys to enter the cellars.
Then ask for them.
should i go?
It's your things. I sent them to your father.
for the trip to Santa Fe?
The viceroys left this morning, servant.
They couldn't take you with them.
let her go!
You're the reason I die. You're the reason I die.
I want saint.
The only peace I get is by his side.
You betray your vows.
You're betraying Jesus. Father, Father, Father, help me.
You'll turn in your vows right now. what's gonna happen to her?
She's innocent by Holy God. We have to protect the diocese.
You will leave immediately.
Father.
You will be imprisoned from this leper henceforth.
Obey.
or will I have no choice but to hand you over to Holy Philio?
Don't come back.
Oh, yes.
If they kill me, I'm not leaving.
I'm not your manager anymore. I'm not allowed to see you.
why are you dressed like that?
will you come tomorrow too?
- If you want. - aren't you scared?
I'm more afraid not to come.
how old are you?
I just turned March.
You're a wrinkled old man now.
Or sweet garments for my misfortune.
- It's a verse from my great-great-grandfather. - he was a priest too?
Soldier.
Like the Vikings, skilled with the vihuela and also with the sword.
He fell in love with a woman who was forbidden to him.
Say that again.
Or sweet garments for my misfortune.
Sweet and cheerful when God intended.
Together you are in my memory and with it my death conjured.
- I'm always like this. - a drum?
I see you everywhere as one God has the power to do so.
Everything tastes like you.
There's not a moment that goes by that I don't think about you.
and then?
Then nothing. It's enough that you know.
It's for you.
Get your appetite back.
The tunnel's flooded.
If you burn them, I won't be able to get out of here.
- Cassava feet. - how do i look?
Ugly.
Sweet garments for my misfortune. Sweet for...
- Sweet and merry when God intended. - do you know another?
I'll end up giving myself to someone who knows how to lose me and end me.
For you I was born, for you I have my life,
for you I must die and for you I die.
We could have been happy.
When the girl comes back, we'll go on a trip.
The King of Ergo,
in the name of Pater, Vili and the Holy Spirit.
I exorcise thee in mundissime spiritus, omni incursi adversary,
omni ghost, omni sleggio,
in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi, per
radicare et defugare ad doblas catenis.
let me go!
Dark night, close my eyes that you
Leaving me with others to see you
