00:00:25.375 --> 00:00:29.000
A modern version of the legend
of Mexican folklore

00:00:34.166 --> 00:00:36.166
THE WEEPING WOMAN

00:02:53.083 --> 00:02:54.958
This is a typical example

00:02:55.125 --> 00:02:56.000
of a heart attack.

00:02:56.875 --> 00:02:58.875
- Good morning, doctor.
- Good morning.

00:02:59.166 --> 00:03:00.375
But doctor...

00:03:00.708 --> 00:03:02.708
... they claim that the death
of this individual

00:03:02.916 --> 00:03:05.916
was caused by the sight
of a ghost at midnight

00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:07.541
That's nonsense.

00:03:07.750 --> 00:03:10.833
Scientifically, this is just
a common clinical case.

00:03:11.458 --> 00:03:14.875
So doctor, don't you believe in
supernatural phenomena

00:03:15.041 --> 00:03:18.125
that could cause a heart attack?

00:03:18.958 --> 00:03:22.250
As figments of the imagination, I do.
But not as tangible realities.

00:03:23.333 --> 00:03:25.833
Ghosts only exist
in folklore and stories.

00:03:26.375 --> 00:03:28.250
What about astral bodies, doctor?

00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:32.166
Theories, my dear students.

00:03:32.583 --> 00:03:33.583
Nothing but theories.

00:03:34.708 --> 00:03:35.333
Nurse!

00:03:35.958 --> 00:03:37.666
As soon as they take away the body,

00:03:37.833 --> 00:03:40.291
please prepare everything
for my 10 o'clock operation.

00:03:40.458 --> 00:03:41.166
Certainly, doctor.

00:03:41.666 --> 00:03:42.500
- Shall we go?
- Let's go.

00:05:18.833 --> 00:05:27.500
... six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12... 13!

00:05:36.708 --> 00:05:39.166
Mario, what are you doing?

00:05:39.541 --> 00:05:41.166
There are 13, Don Fernando!

00:05:41.333 --> 00:05:43.166
Since when have you been
so superstitious?

00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:44.541
Always!

00:05:45.875 --> 00:05:48.750
I think your superstition
is more like a sweet tooth!

00:05:49.375 --> 00:05:51.291
Don Fernando, for Heaven's sake!

00:05:53.750 --> 00:05:56.500
Children, to celebrate
Juanito's birthday today

00:05:56.875 --> 00:05:59.875
I'm going to tell you a story.

00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:03.458
- The story of the little town mouse.
- We like that one!

00:06:06.083 --> 00:06:10.666
The little town mouse
loved to eat cheese.

00:06:11.416 --> 00:06:14.958
But whenever he tried to eat cheese,
they wouldn't let him. Whenever...

00:06:15.125 --> 00:06:16.500
Luisito has arrived.

00:06:41.375 --> 00:06:45.666
Mommy, when can we have some cake?

00:06:46.083 --> 00:06:47.541
Right now, Juanito.

00:06:48.041 --> 00:06:51.666
- Children, let's cut the cake!
- Yes, let's!

00:06:54.875 --> 00:06:57.500
Juanito, blow out the candles.

00:06:58.916 --> 00:06:59.875
Just one puff!

00:07:08.416 --> 00:07:09.666
There you go.

00:07:11.666 --> 00:07:13.666
Now you can cut the cake.

00:07:18.375 --> 00:07:20.833
No, grandpa!

00:07:58.541 --> 00:08:00.541
What a lovely party!

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.625
You take care of your own business!

00:08:04.208 --> 00:08:07.000
I'll bet the cars weren't ready
in time to take the children home.

00:08:08.916 --> 00:08:11.166
They're all gone, Don Fernando.

00:08:12.083 --> 00:08:14.250
40 years in my service,

00:08:14.958 --> 00:08:16.958
and you still don't know your place.

00:08:17.875 --> 00:08:19.875
It's always the same...

00:08:20.166 --> 00:08:23.375
... whenever you're in a bad mood,
I end up paying for it.

00:08:53.333 --> 00:08:56.916
Mommy, I want to turn four again.

00:08:57.333 --> 00:08:59.333
Why, my dear boy?

00:09:03.291 --> 00:09:05.416
To have another party.

00:09:11.541 --> 00:09:13.541
So, you want another party, do you?

00:09:18.083 --> 00:09:20.083
If this isn't happiness...

00:09:20.541 --> 00:09:22.166
... it's a lot like it.

00:09:24.041 --> 00:09:26.041
Love and innocence...

00:09:27.625 --> 00:09:29.625
... should last forever.

00:09:34.250 --> 00:09:35.416
It's late.

00:09:36.041 --> 00:09:38.000
Why don't you put the boy to bed?

00:09:38.333 --> 00:09:39.625
You're right, daddy.

00:09:40.458 --> 00:09:42.000
Let's go, Juanito.

00:09:47.541 --> 00:09:49.541
- See you tomorrow, daddy.
- See you tomorrow.

00:09:59.625 --> 00:10:02.000
Mommy, I don't want to go to bed yet.

00:10:03.791 --> 00:10:06.875
Juanito, you must do as you're told.

00:10:07.166 --> 00:10:08.166
It's late.

00:10:09.125 --> 00:10:11.125
I want a story.

00:10:12.583 --> 00:10:16.583
Yes, dear. I'll tell you a lovely story.

00:10:16.791 --> 00:10:17.875
Little Red Riding Hood.

00:10:18.125 --> 00:10:20.125
You've already told me that one.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.166
Sinbad the Sailor, then.

00:10:23.333 --> 00:10:25.166
That one too!

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.916
Then I'll tell you...

00:10:29.291 --> 00:10:31.916
...the story of Pinocchio!
- Yes, that one!

00:10:34.916 --> 00:10:37.791
Let God protect this happiness.

00:10:39.458 --> 00:10:41.166
Let's go to the library.

00:10:41.833 --> 00:10:44.750
I've got something important to tell you.

00:10:55.083 --> 00:10:56.083
As you know...

00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:01.041
When my first son turned four,

00:11:01.833 --> 00:11:04.125
he disappeared mysteriously.

00:11:05.208 --> 00:11:08.791
We found him in the garden,
days later...

00:11:09.666 --> 00:11:12.666
He'd been stabbed in the chest.

00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:16.041
Why torture yourself
with those memories?

00:11:22.666 --> 00:11:25.458
It's just that Juanito
turned four today...

00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:27.583
...and I am concerned.

00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:30.250
What are you trying to say,
Don Fernando?

00:11:30.416 --> 00:11:33.458
That your son is also the firstborn

00:11:34.083 --> 00:11:37.208
and the blood of the Moncada y Cortés
runs through his veins.

00:11:37.625 --> 00:11:39.083
Why link a freak occurrence to...

00:11:39.250 --> 00:11:40.416
Not a freak occurrence!

00:11:41.708 --> 00:11:44.666
My brother also died the same way

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.333
As if there were a curse on our family

00:11:50.208 --> 00:11:53.458
In such a large family, it's only natural
that there have been misfortunes

00:11:53.625 --> 00:11:55.541
without any connection among them.

00:11:57.833 --> 00:12:03.125
There are two books in this library
that establish a connection.

00:12:10.333 --> 00:12:11.500
First this one.

00:12:12.916 --> 00:12:17.583
And there's also an older one
that we'll look at later.

00:12:24.083 --> 00:12:26.416
This describes a terrible case...

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:31.500
...in which our ancestors
were directly involved.

00:12:32.125 --> 00:12:33.541
Let me read it to you:

00:12:37.416 --> 00:12:41.916
With New Spain under the reign of
Don Luis de Velasco,

00:12:43.083 --> 00:12:47.500
Viceroy by the Grace of God
and of his Catholic Majesty,

00:12:48.291 --> 00:12:51.208
In a Mexico City street...

00:13:01.791 --> 00:13:05.083
Hail Mary...!

00:13:06.875 --> 00:13:11.833
Midnight, and all peaceful!

00:13:35.833 --> 00:13:40.208
Hail Mary...!

00:13:40.375 --> 00:13:44.500
Midnight, and all peaceful...

00:13:57.958 --> 00:13:59.416
Dear Ana...

00:14:00.583 --> 00:14:02.583
... do not worry.

00:14:04.333 --> 00:14:06.333
I will only be gone for a month.

00:14:06.583 --> 00:14:08.583
Another of your absences.

00:14:09.541 --> 00:14:11.541
I think that you no longer love me
as you once did.

00:14:11.708 --> 00:14:13.500
Please do not say that, Doña Ana.

00:14:13.708 --> 00:14:16.166
You know full well that this trip
does not depend on my will.

00:14:16.750 --> 00:14:18.708
My stewards need me there.

00:14:19.166 --> 00:14:20.333
It is a matter of money.

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:22.583
I know...
But when you leave...

00:14:22.958 --> 00:14:24.666
... who knows when you will return,

00:14:24.833 --> 00:14:26.666
and you have still not
honored your promise...

00:14:26.958 --> 00:14:30.375
... to recognize our son and give him
the name that is his birthright.

00:14:31.166 --> 00:14:32.916
There will be plenty of time for that.

00:14:40.541 --> 00:14:44.791
The boy will be four soon,
and he still does not have your name.

00:14:46.208 --> 00:14:47.333
It will be alright.

00:14:49.833 --> 00:14:51.250
Be patient.

00:14:51.458 --> 00:14:53.000
I have been patient.

00:14:53.166 --> 00:14:55.500
But you seem unwilling
to keep your promise.

00:14:55.666 --> 00:14:58.208
We must wait for the right time.

00:14:58.875 --> 00:15:02.708
With my position and my lineage
I must not act too hastily.

00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:04.500
Your lineage!

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:08.916
Have you forgotten that my people
are of Tlaxcalan nobility?

00:15:09.291 --> 00:15:12.083
Our son is doubly entitled
to use a clean name.

00:15:12.750 --> 00:15:13.791
And so he will.

00:15:14.958 --> 00:15:16.958
Rest assured, Doña Ana.

00:15:18.458 --> 00:15:19.416
Do you swear it?

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:02.833
He is coming.

00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:06.541
Do not attack until I give the order.

00:17:07.250 --> 00:17:08.500
Do not let him get away.

00:17:08.875 --> 00:17:12.333
His purse is always full of gold!

00:17:35.083 --> 00:17:35.791
Stand and deliver!

00:17:36.291 --> 00:17:36.916
Who goes there?

00:17:37.625 --> 00:17:40.625
Give it up peacefully
or we will take it by force!

00:17:40.791 --> 00:17:44.666
The gold that you seek is well kept,
behind the tip of this sword!

00:17:44.833 --> 00:17:47.833
Stay there! I can send his soul
to damnation on my own!

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.750
Here, we have him!

00:18:02.875 --> 00:18:04.875
That's right, you cowards!

00:18:05.333 --> 00:18:08.291
One at a time, or all at once.

00:18:14.041 --> 00:18:15.541
Ouch! You scoundrel!

00:18:24.083 --> 00:18:25.000
Stand back!

00:18:25.458 --> 00:18:27.541
Now you'll taste my steel!

00:18:50.958 --> 00:18:53.208
By Jove, those rascals
were in a hurry!

00:18:58.291 --> 00:18:59.916
What is it? Are you hurt?

00:19:00.250 --> 00:19:02.666
It is nothing,
just a scratch on this arm.

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.958
I owe you my life.

00:19:06.625 --> 00:19:08.625
It is always an honor
to serve a gentleman.

00:19:09.416 --> 00:19:11.000
My name is Don Rodrigo de Cortés.

00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:12.583
Marquis del Valle.

00:19:12.875 --> 00:19:15.291
I am Captain Diego de Acuña.

00:19:16.583 --> 00:19:18.541
Would you accept my humble company?

00:19:36.166 --> 00:19:38.208
Would you honor me with your company?

00:19:40.125 --> 00:19:42.541
It is late, I must beg your leave.

00:19:44.125 --> 00:19:47.791
We shall drink to the lucky stars
that brought you to my rescue.

00:19:48.750 --> 00:19:50.333
If you insist...

00:19:51.750 --> 00:19:52.875
Come in.

00:19:53.083 --> 00:19:56.125
- After you, sir.
- Only to show you the way.

00:20:18.083 --> 00:20:22.583
Let the Lady know we have company,
and bring something to heal this wound.

00:20:26.041 --> 00:20:27.958
Allow me to help you, Marquis.

00:20:28.125 --> 00:20:31.625
In truth your arrival
was fortunate, Captain!

00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:36.333
Ma'am...

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:40.458
The master is here, and he is injured!

00:20:41.625 --> 00:20:42.375
Injured?

00:20:58.083 --> 00:21:00.875
Dear Lord, Rodrigo!
What happened?

00:21:01.083 --> 00:21:04.916
It is nothing, but without
this gentleman's help...

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:07.166
Captain Diego de Acuña.

00:21:07.875 --> 00:21:09.875
Doña Ana Xicoténcatl.

00:21:10.625 --> 00:21:13.458
The heavens have granted me
two mercies in a single night:

00:21:13.625 --> 00:21:18.583
Serving such an illustrious gentleman,
and kissing the hand of a noble lady.

00:21:19.083 --> 00:21:21.333
Please accept my gratitude, captain.

00:21:42.333 --> 00:21:43.583
What have we here?

00:21:45.083 --> 00:21:48.958
It's the killer, Captain,
the one who got away last week.

00:21:50.250 --> 00:21:51.375
One less scoundrel.

00:21:51.958 --> 00:21:54.916
He has paid his due to the devil,
pick him up.

00:22:01.583 --> 00:22:04.416
Now all we need is a good bottle of wine,

00:22:04.791 --> 00:22:07.333
to drink to this fortunate encounter.

00:22:08.541 --> 00:22:10.541
At your service.

00:22:13.541 --> 00:22:15.541
I do not mean to pry, Marquis,

00:22:15.708 --> 00:22:18.208
but what is your relationship
with that beautiful lady?

00:22:18.375 --> 00:22:21.791
Well, you can imagine,
this is her home...

00:22:22.083 --> 00:22:24.291
... and for now it is also mine.

00:22:24.625 --> 00:22:28.583
What about your wedding with Doña Elvira
de Leon, which is the talk of the town?

00:22:29.375 --> 00:22:31.666
Doña Ana is a decorous lady,

00:22:32.083 --> 00:22:35.916
she barely leaves the house
and is unaware of my affairs.

00:22:36.583 --> 00:22:38.083
But why hide them from her?

00:22:38.291 --> 00:22:41.750
We have a son, whom I should
recognize as my own,

00:22:42.250 --> 00:22:46.291
but my family, and even the Viceroy,
will not have it.

00:22:48.666 --> 00:22:50.958
That is not gentlemanly conduct.

00:22:51.166 --> 00:22:52.291
Captain!

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:55.041
The honor of a lady should not
suffer such an affront.

00:22:55.416 --> 00:22:57.750
Remember that you are under my roof...

00:22:57.916 --> 00:23:00.000
... and you have no right
to judge my actions!

00:23:01.208 --> 00:23:04.625
I'll have you know that I love Doña Ana
and was trying to see her when I met you,

00:23:04.958 --> 00:23:09.625
and was foolish enough
to help fight off your assailants,

00:23:09.958 --> 00:23:13.625
believing that you were a gentleman.

00:23:14.416 --> 00:23:17.208
- How dare you insult me!
- You deserve it!

00:23:22.041 --> 00:23:24.041
En garde, Captain!

00:23:24.541 --> 00:23:26.666
I would rather wait
until your wound has healed.

00:23:27.291 --> 00:23:29.416
No one can say that
I have ever fought an unfair fight.

00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:30.458
En garde!

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.875
If you insist, I am ready!

00:23:34.833 --> 00:23:36.708
Dear Lord, what is happening?

00:23:37.333 --> 00:23:41.083
Nothing... the captain merely
wished to show me...

00:23:41.250 --> 00:23:43.333
... how I was injured.

00:23:43.708 --> 00:23:44.875
I thought that...

00:23:45.625 --> 00:23:47.166
There, on the table.

00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:51.125
And finally, if there is any reason
for you not to wed.

00:28:51.750 --> 00:28:54.541
I ask you to state so clearly,

00:28:55.291 --> 00:28:58.583
and I ask the same of those
attending this wedding.

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:04.583
Before declaring you man and wife,
I ask once again

00:29:05.250 --> 00:29:09.875
to state freely if you know
of any impediments.

00:29:17.083 --> 00:29:22.291
Doña Elvira de Leon, do you take
Don Rodrigo de Cortés, Marquis del Valle

00:29:22.458 --> 00:29:26.625
as your lawfully wedded husband

00:29:26.791 --> 00:29:31.250
under the terms ordained
by the Holy Roman Catholic Church?

00:29:32.666 --> 00:29:33.958
I do.

00:29:34.833 --> 00:29:38.666
Don Rodrigo de Cortés,
do you take Doña Elvira de Leon

00:29:38.833 --> 00:29:42.875
to be your lawfully wedded wife

00:29:43.458 --> 00:29:47.583
under the terms ordained
by the Holy Roman Catholic Church?

00:29:48.208 --> 00:29:49.208
I do.

00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:51.000
Hold each other's hand.

00:30:36.541 --> 00:30:37.416
Stop!

00:30:47.666 --> 00:30:49.083
Come forward, Doña Ana.

00:30:58.625 --> 00:30:59.250
Ana!

00:31:01.166 --> 00:31:02.666
It is me, Rodrigo.

00:31:08.166 --> 00:31:10.166
Don Rodrigo de Cortés,

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:14.416
here is your son, and the lady
whose honor you abused.

00:31:20.666 --> 00:31:22.750
You coward!

00:31:24.791 --> 00:31:26.791
At your service.

00:31:28.791 --> 00:31:30.791
Get that woman out of here!

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:33.000
There's no need for that.

00:31:33.958 --> 00:31:34.916
Let us through!

00:32:32.041 --> 00:32:33.583
IF DON RODRIGO DE CORTÉS...

00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.000
...IS NOT A SCOUNDREL
WHO ONLY ABUSES WOMEN

00:32:36.375 --> 00:32:40.125
HE CAN PROVE IT TONIGHT,
IN A MIDNIGHT DUEL

00:32:40.333 --> 00:32:42.458
IN THIS VERY SPOT.

00:32:42.791 --> 00:32:45.125
SIGNED: CAPTAIN DIEGO DE ACUÑA.

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:26.625
It is me, Don Rodrigo.
Open up!

00:33:29.333 --> 00:33:31.958
Doña Ana has ordered
not to let anyone in.

00:33:34.666 --> 00:33:38.250
This is my house
I order you to open the door!

00:33:53.041 --> 00:33:54.333
What do you want?

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:57.833
My son!
I want my son!

00:33:59.250 --> 00:34:01.250
You'll never see him again!

00:34:41.750 --> 00:34:43.166
Open the door!

00:34:47.333 --> 00:34:51.041
I'll kill him rather than let
his father take him!

00:34:59.208 --> 00:35:01.208
What are you saying, ma'am?

00:35:02.333 --> 00:35:06.375
That I'd rather see him dead
than hand him over!

00:36:15.458 --> 00:36:17.458
Dear Lord, ma'am!

00:36:19.333 --> 00:36:20.458
Go away!

00:36:24.208 --> 00:36:25.333
Go away!

00:37:06.708 --> 00:37:10.375
Sir, come quickly!
It's Doña Ana!

00:37:11.416 --> 00:37:16.166
Your son!
You want your son, do you?

00:37:21.375 --> 00:37:22.916
Here is his blood, mixed with mine!

00:37:53.125 --> 00:37:54.166
There you are!

00:38:48.791 --> 00:38:51.375
And that is how Doña Ana Xicotencatl died.

00:38:52.125 --> 00:38:54.750
Ever since that day, her tortured soul

00:38:54.916 --> 00:38:58.250
has roamed the streets,
wailing for her son.

00:38:58.958 --> 00:39:00.625
Mystery solved!

00:39:01.083 --> 00:39:03.416
That story is the legend
of the Crying Woman.

00:39:04.041 --> 00:39:05.500
Is that what you're afraid of?

00:39:06.583 --> 00:39:12.333
To the masses it may be just a legend,
but in our family it is a curse.

00:39:13.041 --> 00:39:18.708
You will see that revenge is inexorable,
not only for the firstborn,

00:39:18.916 --> 00:39:21.958
but also for whomever
tries to stand in her way

00:39:22.666 --> 00:39:25.000
- Let me get the other book.
- Don't bother.

00:39:25.541 --> 00:39:26.958
Forget about your concerns.

00:39:27.666 --> 00:39:29.666
I think that you are taking
the past too seriously,

00:39:30.916 --> 00:39:33.250
and the past almost never returns.

00:39:35.125 --> 00:39:38.458
Nevertheless, better safe than sorry.

00:39:45.583 --> 00:39:46.833
Look after Juanito.

00:39:47.916 --> 00:39:49.875
Don't worry, leave that to me.

00:39:51.291 --> 00:39:52.750
See you tomorrow.

00:40:23.083 --> 00:40:25.083
Not in bed yet?

00:40:33.875 --> 00:40:35.166
How's Juanito?

00:40:35.333 --> 00:40:38.083
Fast asleep.
He's had a busy day!

00:42:05.541 --> 00:42:07.583
Where have you been?

00:42:09.208 --> 00:42:13.041
Forgive me, I fell asleep in the garden.

00:42:13.625 --> 00:42:15.625
Have you been drinking again?

00:42:16.250 --> 00:42:17.875
Don Fernando, for Heaven's sake!

00:42:18.083 --> 00:42:20.083
Never mind, off to bed!

00:42:27.250 --> 00:42:31.250
I don't think I'll sleep a wink tonight

00:42:32.541 --> 00:42:35.500
- It's horrible... dreadful!
- What is it?

00:42:41.625 --> 00:42:43.958
This damn rheumatism, sir.

00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:08.500
Sir, would you like a glass of milk?

00:43:09.666 --> 00:43:12.083
No, Nana Goya.
Thank you.

00:43:13.666 --> 00:43:14.833
See you tomorrow.

00:43:16.166 --> 00:43:17.583
See you tomorrow, Sir.

00:43:19.166 --> 00:43:21.166
Turn off the light on your way out.

00:43:39.250 --> 00:43:40.750
You're a busybody!

00:43:40.916 --> 00:43:42.791
And you're a good-for-nothing!

00:43:43.458 --> 00:43:44.916
Good for nothing?

00:43:45.083 --> 00:43:48.291
You wouldn't know how to get by
without me in this house.

00:44:36.916 --> 00:44:38.000
Ricardo ...

00:44:39.125 --> 00:44:41.375
... aren't you coming to bed?

00:44:48.708 --> 00:44:50.875
Yes, I'll finish soon.
Go to sleep.

00:46:09.750 --> 00:46:12.541
What's the matter?
Is the boy alright?

00:46:15.333 --> 00:46:18.875
He's fine.
He just looked restless, so I...

00:46:47.875 --> 00:46:51.875
Ricardo...
What's the matter?

00:46:53.916 --> 00:46:55.791
Nothing, dear. It's alright.

00:48:00.333 --> 00:48:02.333
Ricardo!
What happened?

00:48:03.708 --> 00:48:05.416
Nothing.
Don't go in there!

00:48:06.125 --> 00:48:09.083
Go with Mario and don't leave
Juanito alone for a second.

00:48:10.416 --> 00:48:11.708
Take her away!

00:48:13.208 --> 00:48:16.541
But please tell me...
Did something happen to daddy?

00:48:17.208 --> 00:48:20.208
No, nothing.
Go with Mario!

00:48:25.083 --> 00:48:27.083
Has anything happened, doctor?

00:48:27.250 --> 00:48:29.083
No, nothing.
Take her away!

00:49:12.833 --> 00:49:15.666
Francisco,
call the police immediately.

00:49:17.083 --> 00:49:19.083
The police?

00:50:34.708 --> 00:50:35.875
Ricardo!

00:50:47.625 --> 00:50:49.625
Doctor!

00:50:52.375 --> 00:50:54.375
- Mommy!
- No!

00:50:56.583 --> 00:50:58.041
Ana María!

00:51:02.291 --> 00:51:04.291
They're taking my son!

00:51:44.333 --> 00:51:45.791
My son!

00:51:54.666 --> 00:51:56.666
- My boy!
- Calm down, ma'am!

00:52:10.333 --> 00:52:12.333
Here he is!

00:52:15.208 --> 00:52:17.208
My boy!

00:52:23.958 --> 00:52:25.958
My dearest!

00:52:27.791 --> 00:52:31.083
You see?...
We saved him.

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:45.541
What's that?

00:52:45.708 --> 00:52:47.541
Are you hurt, doctor?

00:52:47.791 --> 00:52:49.250
It's nothing, Mario

00:52:49.416 --> 00:52:50.541
Can I help you?

00:52:50.708 --> 00:52:52.625
No thanks, that's it.

00:52:59.416 --> 00:53:03.666
Yes sir, only Nana Goya
and I stay on at night.

00:53:04.041 --> 00:53:07.625
We have been in this family's service
since we were born.

00:53:07.791 --> 00:53:09.916
Like our parents and
our grandparents before us.

00:53:19.791 --> 00:53:21.000
What happened, doctor?

00:53:21.333 --> 00:53:22.916
Something very strange
that I'll explain right away.

00:53:23.291 --> 00:53:25.833
But I beg you to watch
this bedroom with great care.

00:53:26.833 --> 00:53:29.500
- Sergeant, stand guard by that door!
- Yes, sir.

00:53:29.666 --> 00:53:30.541
Come along.

00:54:09.583 --> 00:54:13.083
When I tried to hold him, he wounded me
and escaped through that door.

00:54:22.541 --> 00:54:23.750
Open this door.

00:54:28.625 --> 00:54:30.625
Chief! This one's loose.

00:54:38.166 --> 00:54:39.291
A book.

00:54:39.458 --> 00:54:40.500
Allow me.

00:54:48.875 --> 00:54:50.875
I think this holds
the key to this affair.

00:54:51.041 --> 00:54:52.333
Why, doctor?

00:54:53.041 --> 00:54:56.583
Because in a conversation
with Mr. Moncada...

00:54:56.916 --> 00:54:58.958
... shortly before his mysterious death,

00:54:59.125 --> 00:55:01.625
he shared his concerns about
possible misfortunes in the family.

00:55:01.916 --> 00:55:04.916
He read another book in the library
and mentioned the existence of this one,

00:55:05.083 --> 00:55:08.500
as an element to explain
the origin of this vengeance.

00:55:10.458 --> 00:55:11.500
Here it is.

00:55:15.666 --> 00:55:19.916
This memoir refers to mysterious events
that have caused the death...

00:55:20.250 --> 00:55:22.291
... of several members of our family,

00:55:22.500 --> 00:55:24.875
ever since La Malinche cursed

00:55:25.041 --> 00:55:27.208
Hernando de Cortés and his descendants.

00:55:34.875 --> 00:55:36.791
After the Conquest,

00:55:36.958 --> 00:55:39.125
the great services of Doña Marina,
la Malinche, were forgotten

00:55:39.458 --> 00:55:42.125
and the vanquished people,
who blamed her for the defeat,

00:55:42.541 --> 00:55:45.541
focused their hatred on her and her son.

00:55:54.083 --> 00:55:57.041
Then the Conquistador,
fearing for the life of his son,

00:55:57.250 --> 00:55:59.791
born of his romance with La Malinche,

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:02.041
was forced to take him away from her.

00:57:31.666 --> 00:57:36.083
And the haughty Indian princess,
whom the Spaniards called Doña Marina,

00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:40.041
was humiliated and
driven out of her senses

00:57:40.208 --> 00:57:43.708
and thought that every child
she saw was her son.

00:57:48.291 --> 00:57:49.833
My son...

00:58:27.750 --> 00:58:29.000
My son...

00:58:43.416 --> 00:58:44.875
My son...

00:58:51.875 --> 00:58:53.375
She is Doña Marina.

00:58:59.500 --> 00:59:01.500
Doña Marina...!

00:59:09.208 --> 00:59:10.833
My son...

00:59:15.541 --> 00:59:17.125
My son!

00:59:20.583 --> 00:59:22.583
Set her free.

00:59:25.250 --> 00:59:27.208
Free?

00:59:29.125 --> 00:59:32.500
Your offspring will suffer my revenge!

00:59:47.125 --> 00:59:49.125
Free?

01:00:41.041 --> 01:00:43.875
According to the legend,
her faithful servant...

01:00:44.041 --> 01:00:46.291
... swore over Doña Marina's body

01:00:46.500 --> 01:00:48.041
that the curse would live on
through her.

01:02:28.083 --> 01:02:31.458
And her revenge has been
inexorable since then.

01:02:40.458 --> 01:02:44.000
Chief, behind that door there is
a passageway that leads to a garden.

01:02:44.291 --> 01:02:46.083
Let's go.

01:03:15.333 --> 01:03:17.958
For now, I will take
the necessary precautions.

01:03:18.666 --> 01:03:21.000
You and Martínez, guard that door.

01:03:22.833 --> 01:03:24.541
Don't worry, doctor,

01:03:24.750 --> 01:03:27.666
murderers never commit
two crimes in the same place.

01:03:27.833 --> 01:03:28.791
Let's go.

01:03:58.000 --> 01:03:59.958
Ana María!

01:04:03.875 --> 01:04:05.875
- Help!
- Take that door!

01:04:14.458 --> 01:04:16.458
Antonio, stay there!

01:05:00.291 --> 01:05:01.958
Over here!

01:05:05.708 --> 01:05:08.125
- Let's see.
- Where?

01:05:11.958 --> 01:05:13.583
Where?
There's nothing here!

01:05:17.750 --> 01:05:19.250
There it is!

01:06:39.500 --> 01:06:41.500
My Juanito.

01:07:25.583 --> 01:07:27.083
Nana Goya!

01:07:33.541 --> 01:07:35.333
It was Nana...

01:07:38.083 --> 01:07:41.375
I always felt that
she was not a decent person.

01:07:47.625 --> 01:07:51.291
So you see, doctor, the murderer
was a very real person.

01:08:07.208 --> 01:08:08.958
Who could have imagined...

01:08:09.833 --> 01:08:13.041
... all the way from La Malinche
to Nana Goya.

01:09:03.875 --> 01:09:06.583
THE END
