Le scomunicate di San Valentino Page #3

But then you will be confined

in a cloistered convent...

...among those buried alive.

If you do that, I'll kill myself

and remorse will torment you for ever.

I am convinced of her innocence.

I know her, Father Onorio. Believe me.

Really.

If you listened, you know my daughter

was in love with Esteban Albornos.

So?

- Esteban has avoided capture.

He may be involved in this. Perhaps

my daughter was in contact with him.

I don't know what to think.

Lucita, led astray by that heretic...

...may have committed

something imprudent, but not a murder.

Don't you see that your defence

accuses her doubly?

A novice who flirts,

and with an excommunicated heretic...

...guilty of the murder of a holy man,

bishop Doloso.

She will at least be an accomplice.

There is no proof of this.

Rebels against a father

rebel against God.

A fine sentence,

but not enough to condemn her.

I have to decide, not you.

Not even the Seville Inquisitor

can address me thus.

I fought the Moors for our Queen.

I'll seek justice from her.

No one on earth can stop Father Onorio.

God guides me.

Call the nuns.

I want to question all of them.

So, this heretic...

...who has been excommunicated

by the Church...

...could be

directly or indirectly responsible...

...for the crime which has

desecrated this holy house.

Lucita Fuentes is not, because of this,

any less guilty.

Her illicit contacts with this infamous

person condemn her just the same.

But I must seek the whole truth...

...and I am here to find it.

If any of you know anything

that could help justice, speak.

Speak freely.

Lucita seemed agitated and nervous.

She did not pray in church,

but was pensive.

She would quickly return to her cell,

the cell of poor Josefa.

And you, Doa Incarnacion,

do you have anything to say?

No, most reverend Father. I think

the poor wretch was nervous because...

...on Sunday she was to take her vows.

- Her nervousness made her hungry.

I saw her take leftovers from the

kitchen:
Some bread, cheese, and meat.

When did you notice these thefts?

Two or three days ago.

I don't remember exactly.

You, come forward.

Tell me, who are you?

The verger, most reverend Father.

Also porter, gardener, bell-ringer...

I see. You are able to leave

the convent and go to the village.

You must have heard of the man

who escaped and is hiding in this area.

Yes, I've heard the rumours,

but I am innocent.

We'll search the whole convent

from top to bottom...

...including the cells and vaults.

You are dispensed from services

for the whole day. You may go.

Shall I come with you, Father?

- No, my guards will suffice.

Isidro, let us go.

Why didn't you come this morning?
