Has something happened to Lucita?

Nothing's wrong. But I can't go about

in a convent as I like.

I can't stand it. I'm going mad.

I don't know if it's day or night.

Bring Lucita. We must leave quickly.

- Tonight it won't be possible.

Why not? So my guess was right?

Speak.

It's a terrible story.

Josefa, the cell-mate of Lucita...

...has been murdered.

Murdered? By whom?

They have accused seorita Lucita.

Most reverend Father.

My apologies, but I think it's urgent.

The prisoner wants to speak to you.

Have you been to see her?

Nobody must approach her, not even you.

I have not seen her. She asked

to speak to you. The guard told me.

I am listening.

- I killed Josefa de Olmeda.

Go on. I know that.

She had discovered your affair...

...with the excommunicated heretic

Esteban Albornos.

So you stabbed her to death.

Is that it?

I've had no news of him since being

confined. Why do you mention him?

You really don't know anything?

Don't you know that he's been wounded

and is hiding in this area?

I don't know anything.

So why did you kill

Josefa de Olmeda?

She found me reading a forbidden book.

I didn't know it was forbidden.

She was going to tell the abbess.

I would have been punished.

Where is this book?

- In the cell, with the clothes.

I don't know

if you are telling the truth.

The confession will save you

from torture...

...but not from condemnation and death.

You are guilty of murder,

and now also of heresy.

What did you do with the dagger?

I don't remember.

I threw it away.

You spoke the truth.

It is a godless and sacrilegious work.

I want to make an example of you.

We'll take you to Seville,

to the main square...

...and there, you'll be burned alive,

before the whole town.

The flames of the stake

will revive the flames of our faith.

The only true faith.

- O God, save me.

What? Still on duty? It's a hard life.

You should have been a verger.

When do they relieve you?

- Not until dawn.

It will soon be dawn with this wine.

- Thank you.

Nice. I've always said

that convents have the best.

You can't say Mass with vinegar.

He'll be asleep for 30 minutes. Hurry.

- Ingenious. Who gave you the potion?

Always questions.

Hurry. Don't ruin me.

Esteban, my love.

Why did you confess? It was a mistake.

My father advised it.

Don't worry, he'll save me.

Do you trust him? And that book

which they found, how did you know?

It wasn't mine. It was Josefa's.

You must go. Don't worry about me.

My father will help me.

Then we'll find a way of fleeing.

I can't leave you with fanatics.

- You must.

The Inquisition is after you and

knows you're nearby. You're in danger.

My father will help me. Don't be rash.
