Say not here! Cuba!
|
What is it? A tribe? An island?
|
Island. Far.
|
You come! You speak first!
|
Tell the Chief we thank him.
|
Chief knows.
|
Tell him his country is very beautiful. Tell him we are leaving men here to build a fort.
|
Chief says how many?
|
Thousands.
|
Why?
|
To bring the word of God.
|
Chief says he has a God.
|
... and also to bring medicine.
|
Chief says...
|
He has medicine. Tell him we admire his people.
|
We will work with his people. We want peace. Ask the Chief if he understands?
|
He understands.
|
Ask him if he will help.
|
You have to find them, Utapan. Look what they did!
|
You did the same to your God!
|
Utapan, won't you speak to me? You used to know how to speak to me.
|
You never learned how to speak my language.
|
No...
|
No?
|
NO...! I have waited too long, fought too hard. Now you expect me to take all the risks while you take the profit! No... I will not be your servant!
|
I remind you, Senor Colon, that you are in no position to bargain with me.
|
I'm not bargaining!
|
Then you are too ambitious.
|
And were you never ambitious, Excellency? Or is ambition only a virtue among the nobles, a fault for the rest of us?
|
If you won't accept our proposal, we'll simply find someone who will.
|
They don't see sin in their nakedness. They live according to nature, in a never ending summer. The islands are covered with trees, filled with blossoms and fruits. And...
|
Forgive me, Don Colon. But what about gold?
|
You defend yourself admirably...
|
... for a commoner?
|
But we do have a lack of notaries. You should contact my administration.
|
Don Bobadilla is already a judge, my Dear Don Cristobal.
|
Good! We are also in need of judges. Except there are no thieves!
|
You seem to have a special talent for making friends.
|
What...? Do I have so many already?
|
To rise so high, in so short a time, is a dangerous occupation. A little hypocrisy goes a long way.
|
All I have to do is call the guards.
|
Call them.
|
I am not afraid of you. You are nothing but a dreamer.
|
Look out of that window.
|
What do you see?
|
Roofs... towers, palaces... spires...
|
All of them created by people like me.
|
I want to go with you!
|
There'll be a time.
|
You promise? Do you swear on St. Christopher...?
|
Do you swear on all the Holy Saints in heaven?
|
Yes... Yes, I do... On all of them!
|
I have to explore the mainland.
|
This time with me!
|
How are you feeling, Fernando?
|
Not bad.
|
Father...
|
There must be a passage to that other ocean.
|
What are you listening to?
|
I am not listening, Father. But I can't help hearing.
|
What does he say?
|
He asks when he can come to visit you. He left his address.
|
He never had one... except aboard my ships!
|
I want you to tell me everything you remember, Father. From the beginning. Everything.
|
Really? God... I wouldn't know where to start... and yet...
|
Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
|
I understand that you will soon be appointing Governors for the islands? Is it not so?
|
Forgive me, Don Bobadilla those positions have already been taken.
|
May I ask by whom?
|
Bartolome and Giacomo Colon.
|
Don Alonso de Bobadilla.
|
Yes... I remember...
|
My letters of appointment.
|
Appointment to what?
|
Viceroy of the West Indies.
|
Congratulations. Then I am free to search for the mainland.
|
How far from here?
|
I am not a seaman. But I heard it is no more than a week at sea. I hope you are not too disappointed.
|
How could I be? The mainland has been found. Exactly as I said it would.
|
I am afraid this is not the worst news.
|
I could be gone for years.
|
I know.
|
I haven't given you much of a life.
|
Well... that's true. I have a child by a man who won't marry me! Who's always leaving...
|
Are we going to argue?
|
I'd love to argue with you sometimes. But you're never here!
|
Perhaps I was never meant to live with a woman...
|
I find that hard to believe.
|
She said yes.
|
Thank God...
|
I'm not asking you to swear to anything.
|
I don't want you to wait for me.
|
That's something you can't decide.
|
Beatrix, I want to ask you something.
|
You don't usually ask.
|
I can arrange for the Queen to take Fernando and Diego into her service.
|
God... you're so beautiful! I can't believe no other man has ever taken you away from me...
|
They tried... but I didn't let them.
|
They took everything...
|
Not everything... Do you think I care? I'm a free man again. Riches don't make a man rich, they only make him busier...
